her shaggy head into Aunt Paulines
face
With a start the sleeper sprang to
her feet and tumbIed out on the floor.
The room was filed with smoke that
poured into the hall, and the blazing
curtains had caught the flames so
fiercely that several pictures were
afire. A moment later and the fire
would have gotten over the whole fiat
and both Fluffy and Aunt Pauline
would have been burned.
But seeing moments lift in the
smoke, Aunt Pauline dashed to the
bathroom and, getting pail of water,
managed, by making several trips, to
put out the flames.
Then, tired and exhausted with the
excitement, she sat down in tears in
the front room with little Fluffy curled
in her lap.
Presently the door opened and in
came Ada. The smoky room, the wet
floor, weeping woman with the dog
in her lap, astonished the child.
"Why, what on earth has hap
pened?" exclaimed Ada. "And why is
! Fluffy scorched and lying in your
lap?"
Aunt Pauline burst into a new flood
of tears and Rugged Fluffy closer.
"What has happened" she ex-
claimed. "Why, everything. When l
was asleep the curtains caught fire
from the stove and set the room afire
I would have burned TO death had
not Fluffy jumped on the bed and
awakened me-"
"Oh am so proud of darling Fluff
fy,' exclaimed Ada. "Wasn't that
smart and good of her to do that?"
"She is the best doggie in the
world" cried Aunt Pauline as she went
to the cupboard and got out bit of
chicken and some milk. 1--WE will
never speak again of her going away.
Fluffy must stay right here, and she
shall have milk and chicken for din
ner every day. Then that pretty rug
in my room will be her bed every
night"
A very happy party there was that
night after the gas was lighted and
the dinner had been cleared away.
Fluffy sat on the sofa while Ada and
Aunt Pauline made pretty bows for
her neck and praised her up as the
best little dog in the world.

THE HIGHEST WOOD KNOWN

Recent successful commercial applica-
ton of Balsa wood where cork has been
thought indispensable brings to attention
one of the strangest of natures products.
Not only is it the lightest of all known
woods, weighing less than half as much
as cock, but it possesses as well remark
able elasticity and strength, is unexcelled
as an insulator against heat, and has
microscopic structure unlike that of any
other wood.
The wood comes from a tropical tree
found all over the northern part of South
America. 1t is especially abundant in
Honduras, Costa RIGA, Colombia, jana
lea, and Panama. Some years ago the
cultivation of balsa on another of the West
Indian islands was undertaken on large
scale, but was not successful because of
the natural limitations of the wood.
The tree is easy to cultivate, and there
is no doubt but that the wood in any
quantity demanded will be available for
FIXTURE use. 1t is entirely a second
growth tree, and is found only where the
land has once been cleared, excepting for
the tropical forests.

ards and by Cornell University show

the material, it is about half as strong as
spruce. The present process of prepar-
ing the wood for market completely
coats the interior walls of the cells with
paraffin without clogging them and with
out adding any appreciable weight to the
wood. 1t is thus rendered waterproof
and immune to warping or splitting.
1t is now used chiefly in the making of
life preservers, ring buoys, RATS and
other life-saving equipment for the sea-
Constant experimentation, however, is
charging its field of usefulness. During
the war the wood was used as filling for
the wings of flying boats, to give them
buoyancy in case the machine dropped
into the sea.
What promises to be one of the most
important uses for the wood is in the
manufacture of refrigerators. Balsa is
declared by refrigerating engineers to be
almost perfect insulator against heat.
At recent nautical exposition in New
York a refrigerator made of balsa wood
was iced at the beginning of the show
and closed. Ten days later it was open
ed and some of the ice still remained

FLUFFY AND THE FIRE

TT WAS raining hard. Ada stood by
i the window with Fluffy in her
arms, the dogs wet nose pressed
against the pane, while the child's
tears flowed silently down her cheeks
and on to Fluffy's curly head.
For Fluffy was to be sent away into
the country. Ada, who was mother
less, had been sent to live with her
Aunt Pauline, but the aunt did not like
dogs and decided to send the pet out
to her farm. The news broke Ada's
heart. ..

said Aunt Pauline as she went to her
ROOM, run to the store for me and

So Ada went out and Fluffy lay

her pink nose in her shaggy hair.
