INVARIABLY SEEK HIGH POINT
Writer Who Claims to Know Points
Out Error 20 Which Lost Per-
sons Are Inclined.


The recent. discovery Of the skeleton
of lost child on the summit of the
highest mountain in the Bennachie
group in Aberdeenshire holds no mys-
terry for an Australian bushman.
The skeleton is supposed TO be that
of two-year-old child lost seven years
ago from a farm two miles away, and
at the time of the disappearance there
were apparently a number of theories
put forward for the loss-that the
child had been stolen by gypsies, eaten
alive by pigs or carried away by an
eagle.
But had a man experienced in the
behavior of lost children been. asked
what was likely TO have become of the
lost infant he would have said.
search all the highest points within
a few miles. and on one of them, un-
less he has persisted on the way. you
will find the lost child"
In countries like Australia, where
there are still vast tracts of partially
settled country. the danger of getting
hushed," as it is called, is still real
one.
1t is not always children who get
pushed" either. But. adult or child,
unless the lost person has bush expert
ence, he seems to lose his head at
once and begins 10 walk and walk.
If the couDtry is fiat. the lost per-
son walks in a circle; II Il is noun
famous, he mounts and mounts as
high as he can get. He seems TO get
demented as he grows more exhausted
and the realization of his probable
fate becomes more clear. An hour or
two before he succumbs he gets rid
of his clothes. The majority of lost
people are found naked.
1t may happen that somebody who
reads this article may one day be lost.
Here, then is piece of advice from
one with a right TO give H.
Directly you realize that you are
lost sit down until the first panic has
departed. Remember that your first
consideration is TO reserve your
strength.
You will be tempted TO go up hill,
to see. to get into freer spaces. Don't
do this. Go down hill. All rivers flow
downward: you will find water in the
valleys. Most settlements are in the
valleys. And going down hill eats up
less strength than climbing up hill

Japan HAS sLUM DISTRICTS
Life Evidently Is Not All Delight and
Pleasure in the Land. of the
Chrysanthemum.

The most common type OF building
In the Toxic slums is low building
with tin roof. consisting of two
parallel rows of disconnected rooms
opening into an alley on either side,
writes Fred f. Hagin in the Japan
Advertiser. There may be any num-
Der of these buildings. therefore a cor
responding number of alleys. The al
leys vary. in width from six TO nine
feet. They are common ground for
passage, washing. cooking and play OF
children. Occasionally there is an
open space where there has been a
fire or a building removed, and here
the little boys gather in crowds TO
play. A little girl is seldom seen at
play among them.
The most miserable of all houses
are the two-story buildings. There is
one IN Otowa. north of Asakusa, one at
Ryusenji-machi. Shitaya. and one at
Nakanogo, Narlshira -cho, HOMO. These
two-story structures are nothing but
misery piled upon misery. The occu-
pants are robbed of the sun. and the
houses are wholly unsuited for the prim-
tive way the people have to live and
cook their food. There are two buildings
In Fukagawa called tunnels. These
are one-storied shacks. but unlike the
usual buildings with double rows Of
rooms, they open into a common al
ley which is under the roof. The
rooms have their ceilings, but the al
ley is open to the rafters. Each little
room of the buildings is in reality a
a residence Of family. Perhaps the
usual number of persons resident in
each room is about four. In several
instances the writer has found eight

SOME MEASURE OF SUCCESS
Collector Got His Half OF Debt, but
Creditor Is Wondering Where
He Comes In.

A Vancouver man tells of a sea cap.
tain who, ashore, makes his home in
that city, and who had loaned a sum
of money to a neighbor. The latter,
after the loan was a year or two old.
made no effort TO pay it.
Now, the captain began to look up
on the debt as bad one, indeed.
On one occasion. however, upon his
return from voyage he heard of a
debt collector noted for his ability to
extract money from such deTmquents.
Accordingly, the captain called upon
this collector and advised Of the cir
cumstances.
If" said the skipper, you can
collect that debt, I'll give you half
of It,,
The collector promised that the
thing would be done. The captain
sailed away on another voyage. and.
on his return, sought out the collector
again. "Any success with that bill?"
he asked.
"Well," said the collector, II haven't
collected the whole of it; but ! did
collect my half He hasn't paid me a
cent since. l keep after him, but it's
just as you said when you gave me
the bill-he hasn't any conscience
about It."

WHERE HOTELS ARE UNKNOWN
Traveller in Mongolia Made Welcome
in Any Tent, Conforming to Sim
Pile Rules Of Etiquette.

Travellers on the steppeS of Mon
in any village they encounter. Every
Monaghan is hospitality itself, proyid-
ing the traveller has judgment enough
TO conform TO the simple rules OF
etiquette. OF course, he will have to
tic down beside the lambs and calves
of the household, just as do the mem
bers of the family.
From whatever side of a tent the
traveller approaches he must be sure
TO ride up to 1t from the front. When
he is within a short distance he must
stop and shout "nohoi." which means
dog This is a safety measure, be-
cause the dogs are wolf-like and fierce.
The people hurry out to call off the
dogs, and If he is on foot he keeps
them back, as best he can, with a
stick.
once q traveller enters a tent he
says ''mendu," or greeting. AS dogs
do not attack inside a tent 1t is an
insult to carry a stick inside. He sits
at the left side of tue fireplace, with
his feet curled up under him. If he
can't do this he sits with his feet
stretched toward the door Then he
exchanges snuff boxes with the fam
lily. When he leaves, next morning, he
bows and smiles, as the Mongols have
no custom equivalent to hand-shaking
and good-by.

Modelling in Rags.

II was the fashion of a little time
ago to think seorn of the woodwork
screens. the paper flowers. or the wax
figures made by the women of the past.
but now they are eagerly sought and

trating home life.
History repeats itself, and to this
busy athletic age has come a wave of
the old finger-work fashion. Lately 1t
was pictures made with feathers, now
it is little figures made from rags.
These last were the idea of Nine. VOL

when at Petrograd. where the little
figures were sold for the benefit of
Russian soldiers. Since Nine. Woikoff

COPIED OLD ENGLISH BARREL
Pennsylvania Man Made First Stand
ard Size Receptacle for the
Transportation of Oil.

When crude oil Was discovered In
PENNSYLVANIA in 1888, barrels com-
monty used for wine. beer. whisky.
cider and other liquors were utilized
by oil men as containers for their prod
uct. Anything that resembled bar
rel was Used and sizes differed so
radically that there were many oppor-
tunities for fraud.
AS an instance. 1t was discovered
that frequently the slaves were made
extra thick. with the result that the
content Of the barrel was less than
represented. and purchasers often
found that they did not get as much
crude oil as they were paying for.
In lS64l65 the first standard-size
barrel was made by Samuel Van Sy-
ckle, at Miller Farm, near Ttusyille,
Pa. Ii was of A. gallons capacity, the
size fixed in 1861 in England for the
herring, barrel during the reign Of
Edward ".
Van Syckle specified the size of the
slaves to be used and made an honest
42-gallon barrel. Almost Immediately
he had practically monopoly of the
business and the odd-size barrels
gradually disappeared.
The present system of gauging oil
tanks was started in 1865. when f. E.
Hammond of Miller Farm, Pa. was
asked if he could figure the amount of
oil contained in each vertical foot OF
certain tanks. In a few days Ham
mond prepared table of one of these
tanks, showing the amount of oil it
would hold per inch from bottom to
top. based on measurement of ,42
gallons TO the barrel. Hammond's Ia
bic came into general use. and this
method of measuring tanks never has
changed.-Oil News.
