Set 'em standing in a row
Like lot of ten-pins all,
Then of Good Cheer make a ball,
And with aim that's straight and

And what strength is left in you.
Bowl 'em down.
Roll 'em down.
Send the Cheer Ball through and

Crashing till there's nothing to

Not a splinter left to rally
On some other bowling-alley.

DRAGONS OF EAST AND WEST
Legends Regarding Them Vary Wide
ly, the Oriental Mind Regarding
Them With Reverence.

Perhaps we never stop to realize
how strange 1t Is that among the saints
there Is room for one to win his place
by the reputed actual saving Of lady
from a dragon. And yet this is the
story of Saint George of England, and
considered in no allegorical light by
the medieval church. The wealth
boarding and aughter-bringing drag
ons early trailed across the legends
of Europe, bringing with them desola-
ton and forming pretexts for love af-
fairs between lorn damsels and he
roes.
The eastern mind sympathized with
the dragon and made it the emblem
Of rule. I know of only one instance
where anyone attempted to destroy a
dragon, for they were usually regarded
as sacred and of Incompatible power.
The West, however, true to Its tenn
permanent, preferred to tell of dragons
conquered and slain by the wit of man.
The dragon Is almost the symbol Of
nature In the East, and the different
ways Of meeting 1t seem to form an
allegOry of the oriental mystic rever-
ence of nature and the European scien-
tidc conquest of it.-Elizabeth J. Coats
worth, Ia the North American Review.

air as possible.
While I am discussing the effect of
freezing on concrete, / think l might as
well say something about the effect of
excessive heat on concrete.
Hot summer sun beating down on
freshly placed concrete is bad because it
dries out the concrete. The hardening
process that goes on is not drying
process as some people imagine. This
you can prove by allowing a mass of
concrete to set under water, proving that
it is chemical reaction that is going
on in the tiny particles. When you add
water to cement you no longer have
water and cement but an entirely new
substance.
Protecting concrete from the sun may
be done in much the same way that it
is protected from cold. You can cover
it with hay, straw or tarpaulins or any
other material that will prevent too
sudden loss of moisture and yet will not
mar the surface you wish to protect
So at the risk of being tiresome, / am
going to tell you again that in all your
work with concrete, be careful that it
does not freeze in winter or dry out too
quickly in summer. Observing these
simple rules you will make much better
concrete work.

ANTS MUCH LIKE FIREFllES
Species In Brazil Travellers Assert,
Throw of a Small but Quite
Distinct Light.

At least two Brazilian travellers
have described an extraordinary phe-
nomenOn connected with the nests OF
white ants, or termites, DR.. da Fon.
SEGA, who saw the exhibition on the
headwaters of the Rio Verde, gives the
appearance as that Of tiny stars, af-
fording the nest the look of a min
iature tower brilliantly Illuminated.
When the nest was struck with a stick
the lights went out, only to re-appear
little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle of the last
century, beheld similar spectacle
near the city OF Goyaz. He says that
the lights were produced by an i'm
mense number Of small phosphores-
cent larvae, which withdrew into the
galleries of the mound when an at
tempt was made to capture them.
Branner OF Stanford university re-
marks that this exhibition Is prob
ably confined to some particular spe-
cies, or to some special occasions or
conditions of termite life, since he has
lived and travelled for years In Brazil
without seeing 1t.

Grownups Played With Dolls.

1t is told how sailors of the Span
ish armada carried with them dolls
as mascots and actually to play with.
Cortez, the conqueror of Mexico, en-
tering the court of the king, Monte
yuma, on the evening of November s,
1919, found the whole court seated on
the floor playing with dolls But for
this, history might have been different.
Later when COrtez sent an expedi-
ton northward into what is now
Texas, he found a curious worship of
dolls among the Hopi Indians, the
dolls being given to the children for
toys after the ceremonies-a custom
which persists among these people to
this day.-Leslie's Weekly.

The nearer the water is to the boiling
point, the better will be the results, be-
cause it will take longer to dissipate the
heat and cool the mixture. There are
several methods used for heating aggre-
gates. A simple arrangement that any
farmer can contrive is a metal cylinder
similar to a corrugated road culvert over
which the sand, broken stone or pebbles
can be piled and in which fire can be
built. Care must be taken to heat the fine
and coarse aggregates separately in order
to avoid premixing them in the wrong
proportions. If the materials are added
as above outlined and the concrete is
deposited Immediately after mixing, its
temperature when placed in the form
will be around 80 degrees and if care is
taken to prevent the too rapid loss of
this contained heat, the concrete will
harden properly. The early stages of
hardening may be even more rapid than
under ordinary conditions
In placing concrete in cold weather the
forms must be free from snow, ice and
frost. 1t is a good idea to warm the
forms before placing the concrete. After
the concrete is placed it should be pro-
tected while hardening so as to maintain
the warm moist condition essential for
the rapid development of strength. There
