Forest Fire Is
Big War Evil


The president, we are told by Sci
ence, New York, has authorized loan
of $1,000,000 to the forest service for
fire fighting expenses, to meet emer-
gency conditions In the national for
ests of the northwest and the Pacific
coast.
The loan was made from the special
defense fund of $50,OOO000 placed at
the disposal of the president by con-
gress. 1t Is recognized that the pro-
lection of the national forests is an
important and essential war activity.
Forestry officials regard the present
fire season in the northwest as in some
ways the most serious with which the
government has ever had to cope. Ear
ly drought, high winds, electrical
storms, labor shortage and depletion Of
the regular protective force as result
of the war have combined to make the
fire conditions unprecedentedly bad.
Necessity for resort to the presidential
fund was due to the fact that the APP
preparation bill for the department OF
agriculture for the current year had
not yet been passed.

Why Oil Floats on Water.

1t seems very curious at first sight
that one liquid should be able to float
on the surface of another; but If we
think carefully about 1t we see at once
that whether a thing floats on the sur
face of water or not depends upon
two things, writes the Child's Book
of Wonders. First, whether it is solu-
ble-that is, will dissolve-in water or
not. For instance, if we put piece of
salt in water it disappears, because
the salt is soluble in water. If, how
ever, we put piece of light wood on
water 1t floats there because it is not
soluble, and therefore remains intact,
and also because the weight of the
piece of wood is less than an equal
piece of water. 1t is much the same
with oil. Oil and fat are quite insol-
{ Bile in water, ard as the oil is con-
siderabIy lighter than the bulk of wa
ter it floats on the surface.

they were dirty-hungry, too. They
were going from one port that begins

on their way, not because they wanted

way, in a big city in Brittany. 1t was

they had built the barracks around
the trees and whitewashed their
trunks to match the walls. There
was dormitory with double tiers Of
hunks and a big wash room and
canteen, long tables and benches and
counter with blue-aproned Ameri-
can girls behind 1t. They served the
sailors with hot chocolate or coffee

food, all for sum that would have

to ugly severity but generally one Of
the most substantial buildings. Then

Finally, there is the town hail. Every
dorp aspires to a town hall, even
though it be built Of wood and iron.
1t may have to serve as market hall,
or even for a picture show at times.
The visitors general impression is
that life Is quiet and peaceable, no one
seems to hurry, every one appears
have time to larry and talk. Business
often takes second place in a store
until the small social amenities have
been exchanged. 1t is usual to apply
the term Sleepy" to all dorps; the
gentle accusation may be true after
the hurry of Durham or johannesburg
and certainly would be just if thinking
in terms Of New York. Life Is happy,
the air Is warm, the simple necessa-
ries are easily obtained, and, provided
that one is not possessed by the fiery
ambition Of the hustling type, peace
and calm may easily compensate for
the lack of some of the veneer of mod
ern civilization which, after all, is so
thin.

BEER AND BILE.

BEER AND BILE.
Prof. w. A. Osborne, a distinguished
chemist, explains, in very illuminate
ing way, that the liver is especially
susceptible TO alcohol poisoning, be.
cause the alcohol, before it is elimlnat-
ed from the body, repeatedly assaults
that organ "Every one knows" said
Doctor Osborne that the liver forms
bile, and that bile is poured into the
bowel. Now, when alcohol is taken 1t
passes into the stomach, and from
there to the bowel, or small intestine,
and is absorbed there. Everything
that is absorbed from the stomach or
the bowel has to go to the liver, and
nothing is allowed to enter the gem
eral circulation until 1t has been prop
erly sifted and treated In the biggest
organ we possess-the liver 1t has
been found, in the case of alcohol that
when alcohol has been absorbed In the
bowel it reaches the liver, and the
liver really does not know what to do
with 1t. There is practically no pro-
vision in nature for the utilization OF
alcohol Ia very significant fact, l may
here parenthetlcally remark).
"When alcohol reaches the liver the
liver manages to destroy some, but
great portion of it is turned out in
the bile, and once more reaches the
bowel, and then the liver, and this
cycle of operations goes on for hours
and possibly days, until the alcohol
Is gotten rid Of. All this time it Is
constantly irritating and injuring the
liver, and this explains the fact which
medical science has known for a long
time, namely, that the liver is one Of
the organs of the body which is singA
larly susceptible to alcoholic dPgen'
eracy, and this is the reason why"
