QUEER WOOL

1t is a dirty white, like cotton batting.
If you pinch up a bit of it and rub It
between your fingers, 1t turns into a
powder like ground stone. At the
bottom of the bin, where mineral wool
is kept, a number OF tiny glass beads
can be found. This is the refuse, or
the part of the material which the
water spray did not change into wool.
What is heavier than stone or iron?
What is lighter than mineral or Stag
wool7 From one carload of stone
comes twenty carloads of wool The
raw material is twenty times as heavy
as the feathery product which is as
light as and which resembles snow
fakes.
The wool was first made in Wales
in 1870. AS the glass bits thrown Off
in the process got into the lungs OF
the workmen. the manufacture was
stopped. An inventor found a way for
making the wools without injuring the
men. He had jet of steam or hot air
forced upon the Stag or rock, and he
placed heavy guards which protected
the workmen.
The iron furnaces would still be
throwing away their Stag II that la
borer with hose had not been curious
and had not told his employer how the
water on the molten mass turned Il
into feathery wool.

"Ah!" cried Ivan. Il have an idea -
That night he and his brother crept
out OF the house. with a lantern 1t
was dangerous journeying on the long
road because of bandits and outlaws.
but they walked cautiously with their
light dimmed. There was a spot on
the road where the great cliff beside it
acted as a sounding board. The slight
est sound was magnified and a shout
could be heard for miles. There they
halted. Then Ivan gave the signal
as his mother had done. Echos were
flung far and wide through the still
night. Then Peter whistIed. They
took turn about. giving the signal
three long, low notes; three short. high
ones. After some time had gone by.
they heard quick padding steps. Ivan
drew his kinjal, for who knows? 1t
might have been a wolf. a dark form
approached them. Peter flashed the
lantern on it and there sure enough
was Kazbeki

with him." whispered Ivan, for he ha d
heard another sound which made his
heart stand still. 1t was the pounding
of hoofs on the road.

- VAN and his brother Peter had
been much troubled by wolves
although there is nothing strange
D about that when you consider
where they lived, and what they did
to earn their bread. In fact. their
home was a regular mping-ground
for wolves; up high in the Caucasus
Mountains, between the Black Sea and
the Caspian Sea, in a land called
Georgia. They were caring for lit
tie flock of sheep entrusted to them by
their widowed mother.
What the boys needed above all else
was a good sheep dog. Their old dog
had been killed in fight with a wild
boar. A sheep dog, you know. is a
better herder than a man.
One day Ivan bought a fine. big
shaggy dog from a stranger. Two
silver rubles he paid from the family's
scanty hoard, and it seemed TO be
money well invested for the dog
kazbek. they called him. after the
mountain near by-seemed unusually
strong and alert. He sat ny the fire.
the picture of dignity and decorum.
while the boys and their mother
studied his good points with a prac-
ticed eye.
He was not long in proving his
worth. for the very next day he helped
guide the sheep from their fold TO
the meadow on the mountain side
You should have heard him barking
orders at the tagging ones and mar
shaling them like a general! Back
home they all came in the evening
with not lamb or a sheep or goat
missing.
The boys We're much delighted, but
not for long The next day when they
went TO the sheep-fold to lead out
their sheep. no Kazbek did they find
He was gone. They callea< and
whistled but all in vain.
Stranger" muttered Ivan. taking
off his shaggy sheepskin hat and
scratching his head THE dog seemed
conterted enough and I never heard
of sheep dog running off like this
before"
He went with is br9:her ard tire
sheep to the grazine-Iand. and then he
left them determined TO go to the
nearest village and there inquire Il
anyone had seen his dog. He was soon
on the long, steep road. riding his lit
tie. mouse-colored donkey.
When he reached the village. the
sun was high in the sky. The village
blacksmith's shop was a good place
at which to stop. AS Ivan reached
the doorway he looked in. The black
smith was hard at work at his forge
and there sitting in a corner watching

80 HIS toy is very interesting 10

- The toy can be made from
pieces of cigar box or other scrap thin
lumber. And the tools necessary are
only a pocket knife or a coping saw
and hammer. although a much better
job can be done with a plane. saw
and other tools.
Begin the toy by making the bottom

Part Co is a small pill box cover
fastened to (A) with a tack, located
SO the bill of the bird will strike the
center of the box when the toy is
operated. Do not fasten in place till
the toy has been painted and assem-
bIed.
Lay out Parts Cd as directed on

these parts are needed. Bore holes

off they ran.
But it was uphill work. The hoofs
came closer and closer.

Ivan. I'VE must hide by the side OF
the road and trust to fate"
Down the steep bank they slid IN
the darkness pulling Kazbek with
them. Their sliding feet found some
thing to stand on--a projecting rock.
There they crouched, and the dog
crouched between them. All. would
he give them away?
We've been good to you. Kazbek!"
whispered Peter. Don't betray u.s."
The pounding hoofs drew nearer.
reached them and passed on. Then
they stopped and through the night
rang the signal-three long, low notes;
three short, high ones. Peters arm
tightened around Kazbek's neck,
The stranger has taught him to
come at that signal" he whispered.
Now he must learn not to notice it,
I see it all now. The stranger would
SCH pool Kazbek, then he would make
him run away and would sell him
again."
The hoofs beat again and soon faded
away in the distance. The boys and
the dog then scrambled up to the road
and hurried home. When the black
smith heard the tale he was content

again did that uog disappear. He had

Connect these points with the corners

laid out by drawing lines Il each side

other for the brad fastening it in

Sadly Ivan mounted his little

perplexed for he was sure that the
dog was kazbek, yet he did not believe
that the blacksmith was a dishonest
man.
Someone must have stolen the dog

never looked up.
"Out with you, young scamp!

But am sure it is the dog I bought

had been so hard to spare.

blacksmith. "Begone with you"
