"I was a crouch. Devilish mean.

for some of it" And then in a burst
at which he was himself amazed: "I
was jealous of that chap Chalmer"
"Oh!" She was suddenly serious.
'I thought you and Chalmer were
going to marry-after the war"

II suppose you've seen him since?"
Quite often. But not personally"
She smiled again.
"How's that? I don't understand"'

Huh! OF course you admire him"
Not particularly, even as an actor.

Curious Sort of
Musical Instrument

THE ordinary handsaw has appear
= ed as a musical instrument. One
seeker after novelties uses a saw as
a violin. After long experiment and
untiring practice, he has actually sue
ceeded in gettiSe an agreeable music
from the too.
He holds the saw na:SiA between
his legs, holds the tip of the saw N
the other and works the usual violin
bow with the other. The vibrating
steel blade emits soft, appealing
notes. the pitch OF which is varied Dy
changing the curvature of the blade.
All sorts of queer effects can be got
by adept manipulation of the blade.
Sometimes the music resembles the
human voice: again II has the weird

Fastest Things on Earth

r. RANK HUSSEY, a youth of nine
- teen, recently ran 100 yards in
s3-5 seconds-a speed of O.355
miles per minute. Mr. Hussey
was in something of a hurry when
he made this time; in fact, he was in
so much of a hurry that no living
nAn could have caught him. But he
could sustain this burst for only 100
yards and no more. If a horse such
as Man-o-War had started with Hus-
sey the animal would have left the
man far in the rear before half the
distance had been run and have been
hardly tired at the finish; for Man-o'-
War ran 1& miles at speed of
0.615 miles per minute, nearly twice
as fast as the sprinter. So much for
man and his dumb friends. A wild
animal could put even the mighty
: super-horse to shame; for an antelope
of Mongolia, bearing the stately SCI
entiflc name of "GazeIla Gattutosa,"
has been timed in one minute fiat for
the mile. What's your price on Man.
o. War for this race?
However, If man cannot move as
fast as an animal on his own feet he
can put nature to shame with his ma
chimes. Put man in the water in his
fastest motor boat and he can make
LII miles in a minute: bring him
back on land. give him racing auto
mobile. and presto! Now you see
him. now you don't; for he can cover
&c miles in minute with the proper
combination of "gas, oil and water"
while in the air he fairly outdoes
himself, for Lieut.. l. ]. Maitland in
an army plane covered the distance
of SIS of a mile at the terrific speed
of 4.33 miles per minute-a speed
which, IL sustained over the distance,
would take the flyer from New York
TO Chicago in az hours!

IN Investigating speed some curious
facts come to light. Which should

ever proceeds by the feeder, there is
a portage around one gate only.
Previous to the late war. annual
regattas were held on May 80 under r
the auspices of the International Club
Canoe Association. and the races were
of an extremely exciting character.
Upon these occasions there were also
fitting contests by canoeists armed
with long poles, the end of each
capped with a big cushion so that
there might not be any injury sus-
tained by the occupants of the other
canoes. The object was to upset the
other paddlers. There were also up
set races and many other contests of
skill. Later in the summer similar
but not as extensive contests were
held in the lower river.
From Sycamore Island to Great
Falls there is what is termed a
pretty good current" There are also
numerous small rivers and about a
half-dozen real good rapids where
there is enough white water to satisfy
the adventurous spirit of the average
canoeist. Capt Cathcart. in dis
CuSSlnS InIS 10TH Oh sport tnc OlneT
day. said:
whitewater canoeing is a test of
ability and nerve. Sometimes you
would be surprised how the current
will almost take you through, and
at other times you will find that you
have a man-size job on your hands.
You must ever be on the alert to
fend off from treacherous rocks,
waves and currents.
Usually the best method when one
is approaching white water is men
tally to take in the whole rapids.
then select the one that appears best
for you and commence padding for
all you are worth. An important fea-
ture that should not be overlooked
by one who has not yet attained a
marked degree of efficiency is the
fact that it is the difference between
the speed of the boat and the speed
of the water that gives you steerage
way.
Perhaps, to make this more clear
to the mind of your readers, 1 had

mobile standing still and the man at

movement, and then you will realize
why it is that some of washington's
business men, though past the young
er period of life, go to work with
the easy swinging gait that denotes
the man who Is in fine physical con-
dition. for there is no other sport
that can keep a man in better trim
than canoeing, and when you have
passed the point where you feel that
you are a good paddler. go with some
experienced man and shoot the rap
ids. Then. when you have progressed
to the point where you can go through
white water all by yourself, your
chest will take on an added expan-
sion, for you, after you have made
your first trip through the swirling
waters and reached still water in
safety, will have achieved that which
the real simon-pure deyotees of the
sport all strive for, the right to be

There are some few who advo-

Of the opinion that the real experts
do not look with favor upon this
method.
There has been considerable con-
troversy among canoeists as to. the
advisability of having two men in
the canoe. In Canada they do not

American Phosphate.

THE phosphate lands some years
ago withdrawn from entry for
settlement by the national govern
ment constitute, it is said. the great
est known phosphate deposit in the
world. These lands comprise nearly
the whole of Uinta county in Wyom-
ing and portions of Morgan, Rich and
Cache counties in Utah, and of Bear
Lake. Bannock. Bingham and Ere
mont counties in Idaho, making in all
about 1900 square miles of territory
which is more or less underlain by
phosphate rocks. Besides these vast
natural deposits. it is pointed out that
the gases from the smelters at Butte
and Anaconda, which are very in
furious to vegetation, may be made
to yield sulphric acid for the manu-
facture of superphosphate fertilizers.

men should know what the other
fellow is going to do under any and
all, emergencies. Contrary to general
belief, a most important part Of the
steering through white water is done
by the man in the front of the boat.
1t is he. necessarily, who Is in a po-
sition to see any danger that may
threaten, and, with thrust of the
paddle, in an instant he may cause
the craft to escape serious damage.

Proposals may cover the entire
output in all of the fields, or may
