SCOUTING IN THE SCHOOLS.

Chief Scout Executive James e.
West sends the following message to-
all boy scouts in the schools Of the
country:
"A true scout Is always on the alert
for opportunities to be Of service. In
many schools scouts are in charge OF
the fire drills and first aid and safety
first training. They also conduct thor
ough school yard clean-ups, guard dam
gerous crossings and see that sanitary
conditions are In force In and out Of
school buildings. Are you and your
troop doing any Of these things? II
not, get busy. Talk it over with your
scoutmaster and your teacher and see
If there isn't something which you can
do as a scout to help your school.
Remember especially that scouting
is what you make 1t. If you are
scout and careless in your personal ap-
pearance and needless Of regulations
you are doing a great harm to the
movement and not being a true scout
no matter how proficient you are in
signaling and fire building and the
rest. Scouting goes all through, into
every thing you do.
81 wish every first-class scout would
determine to qualify for the merit
badge In scholarship this year and
make up his mind to get the most out
of his books-by putting a lot in"

New TYNE of OiI-Burner,

A recently developed heavy-oil-
burning engine of only medium high
compression, that is, semi-Diesel
type. is adapted to uses in Oil fields
and localities where the water con-
tains large quantities Of gritty SUBJ
stances, making it unsafe to inject
into the cylinders, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The Diesel design
is adhered to in the new type with the
exception that the excessively high
compression pressures of 400 to 500
pounds to the square inch are not
used. To start the engine, the mer-
curry is brought to high heat with a
blowtorch. After starting, the heat
of the compression and combustion
maintains the temperature. Mercury
is used, for the reason that it Is a
fairly good heat insulator and keeps
the bottom of the chamber hot, and
that, though it boils, there is no loss,
as the vapor condenses on the inside
wall of the water-jacketed top of the
igniter and returns to the bottom.

Prepared idea is working. George

car and started cross country while
the rest waited for the train On my
way | noticed that there was a fire
a mile or so ahead and hurried on to
see if l could be of any assistance.
ION arriving l found that two chill
dren were still in the burning house.
Being scout, | simply did my duty to
try to rescue them. The first trip up
stairs | found the girl overcome with
smoke. l wrapped her in some bed
clothing and took her downstairs to
safety, then went back after the boy.
l was unable to locate him, and had
to go back down to get more informa-
tion from the other people Having
gotten the information | went back
into the house and started up the
stairs, Which gave way as l was near
the top. l was able to catch hold of
a beam that held my weight, and then
it was just matter of pulling N.Y.
self up to the second floor.
This accomplished, / went into
what remained of the boys room,
walked sill across to the bed and an
old metal covered trunk, because
knew the floor would not hold my
weight. l looked in the closet and on
the bed, but was about to give up the
search when l happened to raise the
lid of the trunk and saw the boy.
Something gave way before 1 could
get the boy out, and the next thing
the trunk. My first thought was to
again try for the boy, but the trunk
had turned over in the fall and the
lid was down. In trying to turn it
the heat Of the metal covering blis-
tered my hands little, but was able,
to get the boy and scrambled out
a small window in the side of the
basement.
II then had the people empty my
car while l treated the children to-
the best of my ability, then started
them off to the doctor. After they had
gone went around the building to see
if anything else was in danger, and
then used by first-aid kit to relieve,
the pain in my hands and face. I
guess tainted, for the next thing
knew a man was working on me. In
a little while I was able to proceed
with my trip to Orange City and went
on with my work"

HAT BOTHERED JUNGLE JOE"
Veteran Legislator Objected to "Plug,"
But Was Finally Persuaded to
Don 1t Temporarily.

In 1901 Representative Cannon was
living at the Cochran hotel, and the
evening before the Inauguration, l..
White Busbey. now his private secre-
tary, but at that time correspondent
of the Chicago Inter Ocean, entered
Mr.. Cahnon's room at the hotel and
found the venerable legislator standing
before mirror and swearing over
plug hat with which he was practic-
ing.

"But, Mr.. Cannon" suggested Bus
hey amfably, "if you don't wear 1t you
will attract more attention in the
parade than the president, and you
don't want to do that"
flows that?" snapped Uncle Joe.
"Why," exclaimed Busbey, you will
be the only man in the carriage that
won't be wearing silk hat, and you
will be too conspicuous"
At that comment Miss Cannon, the
daughter whose devotion to her father
was so well known, entered the room.
"Father will wear the hat, Mr.. Bus
bey," said Miss Cannon gently. "You
needn't worry"
Uncle Joe dutifully wore that hat
the next day. He wore it again at
the funeral of Mckinley. These are
said to be the only times in his life
he has worn a silk hat.-Washingto

crew of the Gloucester schooner,
Charles Haskell, which in a storm In
March, 1869, ran down and sank q
Salem schooner and its entire crew on
Georges fishing banks. He died at
the Fishermen's Snug Harbor in his
elghty-second year, repeating almost
to the last the tale Of the ghost ship
supposed to have pursued the Has
kell throughout its career as fish
erman.
Once off Eastern point. at the en-
trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, schooner ran down the wind,
hove alongside the Haskell, and it's
phantom crew, climbed the rigging, de-
claring themselves the ghosts of the
Salem fishermen.
Winters and others of the Haskells
crew refused to fish in the ship again
and new crew was taken on. These
returned with similar story of ghost

LOOK FOR IMPORTANT FINDS
AreheoIogists Believed on Verge Of
Great Discoveries In Districts
of Central America.

Important medical and economical
discoveries that will be of great value
to the modern life of the peoples Of
the world are on the verge of being
made at the present time in several
districts of Central America by Ameri-
can psychologists.
This prophecy was made by Prof.
William Gates, president Of the Maya
society, in an address delivered at the
meeting, at Johns Hopkins university,
of the Archaeological Institute of
America, the Pathological association
and the Maya society.
Prof. Gates brought forth in his
talk the fact that in Central America
there has recently been discovered the
evidences of an ancient race of peo-
pie, with civilization as old and as
cultured as that of the ancient Egyp-
tians.
The plans of an eminent group of
American Psychologists for further eX-
ploration of the remains OF this
ancient race were dwelt on by the
speaker. These workers, he declared,
hold forth the promise to the Ameri-
can people of new region, rich with
archaeological material, the surface Of
which has yet only been scratched.
Among the most important discover
les expected to be made there are the
unearthing of further native medical
some of which are already in
the hands Of the Maya society, that
will add valuable specific pharma-
copoea and medical knowledge to that
society in this country.

ATTEMPT TO BURN
KITzM|LLER WAREHOUSE
Prompt Action by Passersby Saves
Big Loss--Evidences of lncen-
diarism Found

What was undoubtedly an attempt
to burn the Kerr-Gifford warehouse
at Kitzmiller station, two miles
north of Pullman, was frustrated by
two members of the Pullman Ma
tional Guard who were on thoir way
home from the quarterly inspection
of Company X about midnight
Wednesday. The guardsmen were
on horseback and on passing the
warehouse saw light within. They
notified Mr.. Kitzmiller and the trio
entered the warehouse finding a fire
burning in a pile of oats. An in
vestigation disclosed partially
burned candle and some pieces of
charred newspaper under the oats,
with evidences of some kind of oil
on the sacks Several of the oat
sacks had burst open and the con-
tents had partially smothered the
fire. The loss was slight.
The guardsmen state that they
saw man going down the track,
through the weeds, before they
reached the warehouse
Stored in the warehouse were
some 10000 bushels of grain, most
ly oats, and about half of it was
owned by August Anderson, a farm
er of that section. Adjoining the
warehouse is another owned by the
Pacific Grain company, and had the
fire not been discovered both ware
houses, together with Mr. Kitzmil-
ler's barn, would undoubtedly have
been destroyed 1t is expected that
an investigation of the fire will be
made by the sheriff's office.
