View on Derwentwater.

Returning from that town, the other
side of Bassenthwaite Water may be
taken, and the rest of the way back
to GraSmere is Identical with the out
ward run. The distance, including
the circuit Of Derwentwater is about
seventy-six miles.
But Derwentwater is worth a more
leisured trip, for its own sake. The
trip from Grasmere to Keswick and
the circuit of Derwentwater and back
is thirty-fve miles. The advantages
are with the tourist proceeding TO
Keswick and there turning left and
past the church, following the eastern
side of the lake to Lodore, where the
Fails of LodOre," sung by Southey.
will be found. Beyond we come to
Shepherds Crag, overhanging the road.
and past the BOrrowdale hotel and the
narrow pass called the claws of BOr-
| rOwdale," whose rocks so greatly
alarmed Gray $50 years ago. At Grange
where the River Derwent flows out of
Derwentwater, the road abruptly turns,
to follow the western lakeside. In
the pleasant vale at Grange is that
giant rock, the "Bowder Stone"
The peculiar advantages of staying
at Grasmere are many Not least
among them is that within five miles
you have not only Grasmere itself,
rivaling Derwentwater for loneliness,
but Rydal Water, and the town of Am
bleside, with Windermere, the largest
and most popular of the lakes beyond.
All are within an easy walk for the
tourist staying at Grasmere, who will
scarce take out his car when he can
indulge In pleasant footpath rambles
for change.
The car is for farther afield. For
example, the run to Penrith, along
Ullswater. The out and home run Is
ffty-six miles. The best way from
Grasmere is to take the Windermere
road, as far as Waterhead; thence
turning to the left and up to Trout
beck. The nearer route, up from Am
bleside to KirkstOne Pass. is an ex-
ceedingly steep climb, but 1t can be
taken on the return.
On the way to Ullswater the gloomy
little mountain town of Brothers Wa
ter is passed, and then comes the de-
scent to pleasant, sunny Patterdale.
Here the seven miles long lake Of
Ullswater, the second longest of the
lakes, begins. skirted all the way by
delightful road, with the waterfall Of
Aira Force midway, spouting from its
woody glen. Ullswater ends at POoley
Bridge, whence it is seven and half
miles into the quaint old market town
of Penrith, passing Ydnwath Hall, now
farm house, but a good surviving
specimen of the fifteenth century for
titled border residence; and thence
over the ancient lamont Bridge, built
In 1925. .....----

INVISIBLE 81 6NAllN0.

An invention that must stand high
among the remarkable accessories OF
the war was contributed by Prof X.
w. Wood Of Johns Hopkins university,
when he provided the United States
army with its means Of invisible sig
mailing. A signal that cannot be seen
By anybody but the person signaled
evidently has advantages over one that
anybody can see and try to read. Pro-
fessOr Wood achieved inviSibility by
using rays of light either above or be-
low the visible spectrum. and these
rays could be seen only by the help Of
a receiving instrument that made them
visible, says Christian Science Moni-
tor. Using an apparatus fitted with
field glasses through which it could, so
to speak, be aimed at the receiving sta.
ton, messages were written tele-
graphically with the infra-red and with
the ultraviolet rays that the eye never
normally sees. and be read plainly
enough by the person equipped with
apparatus to make them visible.

FACTS AND FIGURES OF WAR
immensely Of Supplies Needed In Mod
ern Conflict Revealed by Sir
Douglas Haig.

These are some of the amazing facts
In Sir Douglas Haig's final dispatch:
General headquarters received 1900
kilograms in one day, and 8,400 let
tiers by dispatch-riders. One army
headquarters had 10000 kilograms in
day. and the daily kilograms on the
lines of communication were $4,000.
There were 1900 miles of telegraphs
and telephones, and 3,6SS miles of rail-
ways, on which 1900 trains ran
weekly.
In six weeks 100000 rations were
supplied, by our armies in France, to
100000 civilians in the relieved areas.
Two hundred tons dead weight OF
supplies and stores were required
daily for the maintenance Of each d.
vision.
The total daily ration strength Of
our armies was 100000. An addi-
ton Of one ounce to each mans ra-
tons represented an extra IS tons.
Over 100000 horses and mules and
46, 200 motor vehicles were used, and
4,5O0 miles of road made or main
tanned.
In 1914 there was one machine gun
to 500 infantrymen in the British
army; when peace came there was one
machine gun TO 20 infantrymen.
Over 100000 tons Of ammunition
were fired by our artillery on the
western front from August, 1919. to the
armistice.-Montrea Herald.

Your physician will tell you that
whenever possible you should lie down
for a little rest each day. To do so
will take some of the load off that
faithful heart Of yours which keeps
pumping away without cessation day
and night. Your physician will ex.
plain that when sitting down, as COM
pared with standing, you save your
heart nine beats a minute, and that
when you lie down you take off an ad-
ditional six beats. So merely lying
down means less pumping to be done,
and less wear and tear on the body's
most vital organ. It Is thrift of time
to take few moments each day from
the activities of ones work and stretch
out full length. Housewives and others
whose work keeps them on their feet a
great deal, should sit as much as pos
sible, says Thrift Magazine. Increased
vitality and longer lives will result
from following these simple sugges.
tons.

chiIdren's Spending Money.

The practice Of doing out money to
the children by dribbles. when they
tease for It, and without holding them
to any responsibility in the matter of
spending 1t. is undoubtedly responsible
for most Of the PREVALENT unthrft
among our young people. II is quite
natural that this childish attitude to-
ward money should continue even into
the period when the young person be-
comes a money-earner on his own ac-
count, and oftentimes, into his adult
life as well.-Thrift Magazine.
