OCEAN LIKE ANOTHER WORLD
But Different in That There Is No
One to Explain or Explore
Its Mysteries.

The ocean was calm and clear-so
very calm that it reflected, as if from
a solid surface, every vapor that float
ed along the heavens; it was like sail
ing into new world-a creation
whose laws and boundaries must re-
main forever unknown to us. How ex-
citing to Imagination! So many fan
tastic forms reveled beneath the trans
parent crystal, huge rocks looking like
castles, exaggerated by the watery dis
lance; bleak Alpine landscapes stretch
ing far away; and then the monsters
of the deep moving in the solemn
majesty of silence Living things,
without one sympathy for the earth
about them; without single feeling
that we can comprehend--it may be,
if our eyes do not weary, that, in
fancy, we gaze deeper down, and
strange unearthly forms are succeed.
ed by deeps on deeps-the very etern-
ity of waters where we can see
nothing but the blue abyss down
downtown! 1t is a fearful thing to
pass over their mysteries-a great
lesson.-A. M. Hall.

HOW TO CATCH ELEPHANTS
Paper Would Seem to Border
Slightly on the Ridiculous.

Half the inventors in England seem
to have set to work on the problem of
capturing or destroying the Aldo Bush
elephants. One man wants to drive
them on TO lighters moored in the Sun
day river, and another suggests hunt
ing them in whippet tanks, which, of
course, will go through jungle like a
hot knife through a pat of butter. We
don't think much of these ideas, how
ever. They do not appeal to us as
being sufficiently simple and practical.
But as mere destructive criticism is
never satisfying. we put forward the
following schemes, which could be car
ried out easily:
First Erect searchlights round the
Bush and concentrate them upon the
elephants at night. DaZzled by the
glare the bruteS will dash head first
into the trunks of the trees and stun
themselves. Their feet can then be
tied together. and they can be dragged
away by dOnkeyS or oxen to cages and
subsequently sold to circus proprietors
or geological gardens.
Second. Let big airShip (the R-34
would do) move to and fro over the
Bush, dragging it thoroughly with
graphing hooks. The elephant tished
I'D could be carried without Il moments
pause north of the ZambeSi and gently
lowered to the ground, so that they
could make their way into the Wilds of
Central Africa.
Third. Allow several submarines to
sink to the bottom Of the Sunday river.
A gang of natives blowing trumpets
and beating tin trays would then drive
the elephants into the water. AS they
were swimming across, the submarines
would come to the surface underneath
them, lifting them out of the water
The submarines would steam away to
any destination fixed upon, carrying
the elephants on their decks.
Fourth. Scatter several tons of eN-
ira strong aypaper throughout the
Bush. This will adhere to the trunks
and feet of the elephants and the more
they attempt to get rid of it the more
it will collect until in the end they
are ed.-Johannesburg (Trans-

Period of Heavy Expenditure.

A period of twenty-five months, from
April, 1917, through April, 1919, the
war cost the United States consider
ably more than S1000,000 an hour.
Treasury disbursements during the
period reached a total of 500, 800 ,OO0,-
600, of which 1850, 100000 may be
charged to the normal expenses which
would have occurred in time of peace.
The balance may be counted as the
direct money cost of the war to the
end of April, 1919, a sum of $21 1850
100000 The figure is twenty times
the prewar national debt. In addition
to this huge expenditure, loans were
advanced to the allies at the rate of
nearly 100000 an hour. Congress au-
thorized for this purpose $10,00O,OO0,-
900. and there was actually paid to
various governments the sum Of S.
S5O,OOOO0O.

FOUNDED BY FRENCH KING
"cordon BIeu" Was Originally the
Highest Order of Nobility in
the Gallo Kingdom.

A Gordon bleu" was originally a
knight of the ancient order of the
Holy Ghost, founded by Henry III
Q574-15S9), on the occasion of his ac-
cession to the throne of France. The
order consisted of 100 knights-ex-
elusive of officers-and was at one
time the highest order in the king
dom. So called on account Of the
color of the ribbon from which the
cross Of the order was suspended. In
the course of time this appellation was
bestowed upon anyone that had
achieved eminence in his profession.
The Commander de Souve, Compile
d'Olonne and some others, who were
Gordon bleus, met together as sort of
club, and were noted for their we'll
appointed dinners. Hence, when any
one lad dined well. he said: swell,
that is q true feast of the Gordon
bleus." Finally the term was applied
only to frst-rate cooks, who, after an
examination, received a medal sus-
pended from blue ribbon. Littre says
that the blue apron formerly worn by
many cooks may have helped to earn
for them this f1attering designation.

CARBON!
Rid System Of Cogged-up
Waste and Poisons
with "Cascarets."

Like carbon clogs and chokes a mo-
tor, so the excess bile in liver, and
the constipated waste in the bowels,
produce foggy brains, headache, sour,
acid stomach, indigestion, sallow skin,
sleepless nights, and bad colds.
Let gentle, harmless "Cascarets" rid
the system of the toxins, acids, gases,
and poisons which are keeping you up
set.
Take Cascarets and enjoy the incest,
gentlest laxative-cathartic you ever
experienced. Cascarets never grippe,
sicken, or cause Inconvenience. They
work while you sleep. A box Of Cas-
carets costs so little too.-Adv.

Process Hardens Wood.

TO prepare the cheaper kind of
woods by a patented method that
makes them more durable is the pur-
pose of concern just organized in
Koge, Denmark, according to, a COM
mercial attache in Copenhagen.
The woods especially to be prepared
are birch, ash and elm, all wood treat
ed by this process being called steakin
wood.
Certain changes in the character of
the wood that normally take place
only after many years of drying are
by this chemical process produced
within "a hours. Thereafter, when
the moisture that may still be left has
evaporated, the wood becomes harder
and more durable than by the aging
process.
Teakin birch is of a beautiful gold
en- brown color, and, when polished
with potash, it takes on q mahogany
red hue. Teakin ash is substitute for
teak. Teakin elm has none of the dis
advantages of natural elm. Teakin
fir is of a uniform color all through
and is used for office fitting and fur
niture and for veneering.

Aside from the improbability that any
