between mass and energy. Early
estimates set the age of the sun as
low as . 100000 years, but
biologists showed this was too short

the solid crust of the earth has ex-

the sun, while getting past middle

years, after which a crust will form
on its surface and life as we know

"On the contrary. as far as posi-
BILE, they should be just taken into q

lowed to go to sleep without rocking
or coddling. They thus become &C.
customed to darkness and are saved
many uncomfortable feelings in

fAlmost needless to say. children
should not be scared by waking them
suddenly. and above all. not by call
Ing to them or making a loud noise
that is calculated to disturb them.
They should be Weakened by gently
touching them and talking quietly to
them, for otherwise nervous children
get a sort Of habit in their nervous
system of reacting in an exaggerated
manner to sudden noises around
them. Fortunately the celebration
of the Fourth Of July in this country
is no longer Of kind that Is calcu-
lated to seriously disturb nervous

MRlack Widow, Snider

There is no doubt in my mind that
the BLACK Widow" Is very venomous,
In 1917. while camping upon the bank
of Snake river, Idaho. 1 was bitten in
the wrist by one Of these insects. The
entire arm swelled and fine red lines
radiated in every direction from the
two punctures. In less than week
after being bitten large, open ulcer
formed upon my wrist. This was
treated by Doctor Ross of Nampa,
Idaho, and also by a Doctor Boeck of
Boise. and by third doctor, whose
name I have forgotten. The wound
finally healed, but to this day l carry
the marks Of the BLACK Widows
bite.
For those who are unfamiliar with
the appearance of the Black Widow.
l will say this: She CD may be iden-
titled by her long legs and glossy
black body, the under side of which
is marked with two bright scarlet
spots.-From Adventure Magazine.

Fan Helps Burn Coal

Fuel experts for several years past
have been preaching the use Of small
or sizes of anthracite coal such as pea
and buckwheat. for household use.
They state that these sizes Of coal
have nearly the same amount Of heat
producing units per ton as the larger
sizes and point out that they are ma
terially lower in price. Some people
find that the smaller coal burns adj
mirably in their furnaces except on
occasional heavy damp days. Then,
furnace stocked with small-sized
coal simply will not burn brightly
enough to produce the desired heat.
ON such days an electric fan will come
to the rescue. Open the ash-pit door,
set the electric fan directly in front
Of it. Then connect it to one of the
convenient outlets in the cellar and
turn on the fan. With the added
draft provided by the fan the SMALL
sized coal will burn just as if the
weather conditions were normal.
