I sat before a window that look

and wide sea cometh in. And 1 be-
held, and 10, there came toward me
broad yellow streak, and 1t came
from over against me, and pushed
out from the other shore.
And the waters of it mingled not
with the waters Of the bay. but kept
as it were their own bounds. as II
it had been said, Thus far shalt
thou come and no farther. But
it came across until it came nigh
unto me. and 1t turned and moved
out toward the sea. And 1 watched
it for an hour, and yet another hour,
and then some, and the yellow streak
was all the way out to the ocean,,
as far as I could see.
And 1 inquired of my friend, and
he said unto me. 1t is a certain
river that floweth down from the

yond the headland so that thou seest

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
aCE Ann

ANfhs
Too many men, when they grow
old. are prone to sit around and
scold, and view things with alarm;
they spend the long hours heaving
signs, and everything that meets
their eyes is void of worth and
charm. l too am old and oft I feel
so tough I'd like to raise a spiel OF
sorrow and dismay; distressed by
rheumatic and govt, I'd ike to tell
the world about a golden yesterday.
But when 1 take my Tyre In hand, to
celebrate a past long canned, l feel
that / am wrong; the world is still a
fine resort; the fact that makes me
kick and snort Is that w lived so
long, The world is right side up
with care, and old men shouldn't
tear their hair, and say it's slipping
cogs; it still rolls on around the sun,
and girls and boys who have their
fun aren't going to the dogs. We
all admire the fine old guy who
views the people going by, and views
them with a grin, who joins the
laughter of the young, and doesn't
sprain q withered lung to prove that
mirth's a sin. But If an ancient gent
is sore and sits beside his cottage
door to prove all things are wrong,
he finds he has a lonesome job, for
no one cares to hear a sob when he
can hear a song.

HE11UM TAKES EXPLOSION OUT OF
Bulletins BY
THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Dry; tests have been conducted on
| model balloons filed with helium,
and all efforts to explode them or
bring them down with incendiary
bullets failed.
There is always a chance in a
thousand that an anti-aircraft shell
might explode directly within the
envelope, and it might also be pos
sible to bring down a helium-hlled
balloon by driving an airplane
through it bodily.
THE only apparent disadvantage
of helium is the fact that it is about
twice as heavy as hydrogen, 100
cubic feet OF helium weighing IT'S
ounces and the same volume of hy-
drogen only 9 ounces. Both gasses
however, are so exceedingly light in
comparison with air (Which weighs
s pounds per 100 cubic feet) that
this Is Of little practical import
ance, the ~buoyancy, or lifting power
of helium being So per cent that of
hydrogen. Moreover, this greater
weight has it's compensation. for hy-
drogen is so light hat it passes
through the walls of the gas bag and
escapes at a far more rapid rate
than helium."
Discovered 9S Million Miles Away
BY means Of the speotroscope, the
bulletin points out, helium was dis
covered on the sun in 1868. 1t was
not until 1895, however, that it was
known to exist on the earth, and 1t
was then believed to be a very rare
element. 1t was when helium was
discovered in 1908 to constitute be-
tween one and two per cent of the
millions of cubic feet of natural gas
going to waste in Kansas. that its
use for initiating balloons first be-
came a possibility; but no n seems
to have thought of such a use for
the newly found gas until after the
beginning of the World War.
Before the war the worlds total
supply of helium was probably less
than 100 cubic feet, and its value
was about $1,700 per cubic foot.

tiers of the bay were blue and the

And my friend said. Thou seemest
to be interested in that strip OF water
that aforetime was yellow and now IS
blue. WHAT seest thou?
And l said. 1 behold a parable OF
human life. For the influences OF
evil flow where they would empty
into every mans being, and there IS
in every man a channel where might
run a yellow streak.
And he said, How then shall any
man escape? ,
And I said, Look before thee. and
see what thou beholdest, for what
thou seest, that is the remedy.
And he said, / see the incoming
tide. and how the waters OF the
river cannot prevail against it. be-
cause the ocean is mightier than the
stream.
And + said, even so the tides of
Righteousness and high resolve flow
out of the unreasonable ocean OF
goodness and truth; and If a man
dam them not back, they will wash
the yellow streak that Is In him,
and fill the channel of his life with
the blue, clear waters of virtue and
of Truth.
And he said, That Is worth think
ing about. and hereafter when I be-
hold the River and the Bay, l Will
think of these things.

use practicable, according to a bull
letin issued by the National Geo.

that the clement could be recov.

U. S. Has World Supply
Since the Armistice a huge plant
for isolating helium has been con-
structed at FIT. Worth, where the
supply of natural gas for both Ft.
Worth and Dallas is used as raw
material. The plant is turning out
10000 to $1,000 cubic feet of he
lium daily and will soon reach its
maximum output of $4,000 to 40,-
900 cubic feet, at which time it IL

The use Of helium gas requires
balloons of somewhat different de-
sign, since even at ten cents a loot
the gas is too valuable to be
waived or allowed to escape to
regulate buoyancy. Work is being
carried on by the Army and Navy
to develop a type of balloon fitted
for the economical use of helium.
At present all helium produced by
the government in its unique plant
is stored compressed in steel cylin-
ders, Cylinders on hand can take

now have filed away" in their metal
containers constitute practically the
