Service BRINGS Increase.

Two beautiful little springs lived
on the mountain side and drew their
crystal water from the same source ;
yet as they grew older they grew very
different, for the one insisted on run
ming out of its banks and trlckling
down the mountain. Soon flowers
sprang up all along the way and beau
tiful ferns and moss lined its banks.
Its water was always cool and re-
freshing, and travellers always paused
to chat with it-but its neighbor re-
fused to leave its own shaded spot and
soon became stagnant and sour and
green. No one ever came near it save
one old frog, and he was "croaker."

HEBRIDES THE TIN ISLANDS?'
Mystery of Lands Described by the
Ancient Phoenicians Seems to Have
Been Cleared Up.

Where were the tin islands? Every
boy and girl has been taught that the
Phoenicians visited Britain before the
time of julius Caesar to get tin for use
In the manufacture of bronze. They
have been told that when the ancient
writer's speak of the tin islands, or
Cassiterides they mean the Settles, al
though little or no tin is found in those
islands.
The fact Is that no one could say
definitely where the tin islands were.
Some historians thought they were the
little islands at the northwest corner
of Spain, while others have believed
that they had no real existence. and
that in speaking of them the authors
merely meant to indicate that tin came
from overseas.
Now, however an important discov-
cry has been made that seems to clear
up the mystery. Tin has been found
in considerable quantities in the Heb
rides, and everything suggests that
these are the famous tin islands of the
old writer's.
The mystery has largely arisen owing
to the fact that the Phoenicians, who
were cunning traders, and did not want
anyone else to poach on their pre-
serves, kept the source of their tin
secret.
This discovery of tin in the Hebrides
lis very interesting fact, and 1t will be
curious if the islands that first brought
Britain into prominence should again
become. source of wealth and fame.

Waterproof Glue

To render glue insoluble in water,
hot or cold, add a few crystals of
bichromate of potash to the water
with which the glue is being dis
solved for use. After a part has been
glued expose it to the light. For most
purposes bichromate of one fiftieth
part of the amount of glue used will
be sufficient. Glue containing potas-
stun bichromate becomes insoluble
when exposed to light and allowed
to harden thoroughly.

A River Deeper
Than the Ocean

IND you ever hear of a "suboceanic canyon"7
The Hudson river is said to be such a thing.
It's bed--worn by the flowing strean-is
considerably deeper than the offshore part OF the
Atlantic.
Another such canyon is the channel Of the st.
Lawrence. Yet another is that of the Congo.
Both are deeper than the ocean near their mouths.
The Hudson, with the great bay into which 1t
flows, is a drowned river" That is to say, 1t Is
flooded by an intruding ocean. The bay and low
err river compose what would be called in Morse
land a ford.
The Delaware is another drowned river.
Chesapeake Bay is another. Long Island Sound
is yet another.
Why should these rivers be drowned? What
has happened to them? To these questions
biologists give this answer:
The whole east coast Of the United States has
sunk a good deal in the course of ages, owing to
the enormous weight of material brought down BY
the river and deposited out in the ocean offshore.
But biologists are inclined to think that the melt
ing of glaciers has largely to do with the phe-
nomenon.
Once upon a time a river separated England
from France. The rise Of the ocean drowned 1t,
and today it is called the British Channel. An
other river ran between England and Ireland; 1t
was likewise drowned.

to put on a diving suit end walk on the bottom Of
the sea, you would have to travel from Phils-

at the true edge Of the continent, where you
would find a steep declivity descending to tho
floor of the ocean, which has a normal depth Of
two and a half miles.

Why Revolving WHEELS Appear SOLID
By DR.. l.. K. HIRSHBERG

TT is the perfection or the fault of human eye
sight, according to your point of view, its
= limitations and inherent incapacities, which
cause the r%etina, the sensitive wall paper and in
side lining of the eyeball, when subjected to light,
to hold the picture a durable moment. This ex-
citation or arousal of the sensation of sight,
therefore,, persists for some time after the event
or object has been removed.
1t is the result of such a persistent eye image
that the spokes of a swiftly revolving wheel ap-
pear solid or that the colors on a spinning top
become fused into a new tint.
Fusion, in other words, takes place, when-
ever as many as "a pictures to the second are
flashed before the eyes. The duration, of course,
of this persistent fusion or "solidness" depends
upon the strength and vividness of the light.
'" All Of this seeing things solid" is different
from the power of the human eye to recognize
space and forms of objects, depths and distances,
magnitudes and localities. These are much more
complex sights. These complicated visual per-
c~eptions, when analysed to simplicity, are found
to be composed of light, color and muscle sense.
Two important truths STAINS forth in mans
ability to look into, to perceive Space. One Of
these is the fact that with two eyes, you still see
things as if you had one. The two eyes are so
located in your forehead that the expanding focus
of the one in part overlaps the other. The two
fields fuse or meet in such a fashion that you
perceive the world of reality-as far as imperfect

Medium Holding Accordion in Wire Cage.

AFTER he had become one of the worlds most
~ noted scientists in the field of chemistry
and physics the late Sir William Crookes
directed his researches into the mystery and phe-
nomena of spiritualism. The marvellous results
from his many extraordinary experiments in this
field of mystery are accepted by many great
minds as conclusive proof of the discovery of a
new power--the psychic force of spiritism-or,
in other words, spirits actually have muscles and
use them in the performance of physical acts.
He finally became converted to spirituaism after
long and exhaustive experimental evidence that
today seems to many to be irrefutable.
Sir William Crookes is best known to the
world at large as the discoverer of the element
thalllum. He first investigated many of the
phenomena of radiation, which led to the ultimate
discovery of the "Crookes tubes"-named after
hlm-and which in turn have led to MANY impor.
tant discoveries in the realms of chemistry.
physics and medicine, the X-ray, etc. He made
many valuable contributions to the study of
radium; invented the "radiometer," which is now
seen in nearly every oculist's shop; he wrote many
standard works upon chemical ANALYSIS. sugar
manufacture, dyeing, printing, metallurgy, sew
age, diamonds, and many other topics, thereby
establishing his name as one of the finest, most
ingenious and most practical scientific minds in
the world.
AS a result of his long and thorough in~vestipa-
lions of psychic phenomena Sir William wrote a
book on Researches in Spiritualism," which
Hereward Darlington, Phi. D., and a member of
the Society for Psychical Research, says is "a
classical manual on the subject and a model of
clarity and impartiality."
Sir William conducted the majority of his ex-
%periments in his own home or laboratory with a
medium named D. D. Home, who is said to have
produced some extraordinary "physical" mani
festations. For example, among the phenomena
recorded by Sir William Crookes regarding the
extraordinary powers of the medium Home, the
following is selected as one of the most won
derful:
On a number of occasions, Home took live
Goals from the fire, held them in his bare hands,
and blew on them until the flames licked between
his fingers, and the coal could be seen burning
with a fierce heat in his hands. Home then asked
one of his sitters to touch the coal to assure him
self it was hot; he did so, with the result that a
large blister was at once raised on the hand.
Sometimes, however, Home would apparently
communicate his "preternatural incombustibil-
ity" to one of the s%itters. He would say, "Now,
touch the coal!" and they would be enabled to
do so, with the same impunity as Home himself.
The only analogy, according to Prof. CARING
ton, is the so-called "fire walking ceremony per-
formed in India, Japan, the Fiji islands, ETC.,
leaving out of consideration the biblical case of
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
One of the earliest experiments that Sir Will
lam made was with an accordion held lightly be-
tween the thumb and fingers of the hand of the

PILL BOXES" to PROTECT BANKS

THE use of the battlefield armored pill box"
against burglars is the very latest wrinkle
in the development of the protection of
said to be the first institution to install such a
device, which is manned by former sharp-shooting
soldiers armed with riot guns.
A succession of bank robberies and attempted
hold-ups by daring bandits who travel in high
speed automobiles, mostly stolen, swoop down on
unprotected banks and dash away with thousands
of dollars, leaving wounded men and women in
their paths if resistance is offered, is given as the
reason for this unique method of bank protection.
Donald R. Bryant, cashier of this particular
Chicago bank, is the originator of the idea. Mr..
Bryant returned from France, where he served
with the heavy artillery, and resumed his former
position in the bank.
Within two weeks prior to and after his ar
rival home there were five successful and two
attempted bank robberies, SO the ex-artilleryman
got busy.
The bank in which Mr.. Bryant is employed
handles hundreds Of thousands of dollars in pay
roll funds for the industrial centres thereabouts.
Mr.. Bryant didn't like the idea of facing a band
of gunner without sufficient safeguards, and be.
thought himself of the pill boxes used by Ger
man outposts and ~sentries in the war.
Why not such a safeguard for a bank ? was
the proposition he put up to his superiors, and
the result is a steel-encased guard room, built
into the wall of the bank, proof against rifle and
revolver bullets, and offering through ioopholes a
sweeping command of every foot of the interior
of the bank and the sidewalk and street ap-
proaches from either direction from the entrance.
The "pill box" stands high on the wall, above
the level Of the bank floor, giving a clear view of
