Picking Up the Threads.


I turned my head slightly on the
hard shuck pillow and gazed curiously
about. When my eyes had first
opened all I could perceive a the
section of log wall against which I
rested, but now, after painfully turn
ing over. the entire interior Of the
single-room cabin was revealed. It
was humble enough in all its appoint
nents, the walls quite bare, the few
chairs fashioned from half-barrels, a
packing box for a table, and the mar

memory Of what had lately occurred
returning slowly to mind. To all ap-

How Waste Of LIGHT I. Prevented.

One of the considerable sources of
fuel waste is the unnecessary burning
Of electric lights. A large percentage
Of lights are used chiefly for limited
periods, as for instance in cloak rooms.
They are turned on and then heed
lessiy left burning. Thus we are con-
stantly recommended to shut off need
less lights as matter of national saw.
ing.
An invention designed to remedy
this condition Is the work of j. Il.
Lewis of New. York. BY pushing a
button the light is turned on and glows
for predetermined perIod-say, FIVE
or ten mnutes-and then is automatic
ally cut off. The device has been
tested and found practical and seems
useful in the way of checking electric
light waste.
