If the sun is shining today, go into
your room and watch the dust pass
through one of the sunbeamS. Other
people had watched sunbsams for
years, and then one day a scientist.
Tyndall, saw them and put them to
work.
Tyndah was great scientist who
worked necessarily with microscopes.
He did much to increase their ef-
fectiveness in detecting particles in
water. Finally he got to a point in
his work where the microscopes
would no longer show the tiny parti-
cles. This was in connection with
his work upon what chemists know
as colfoidal solutions. Gelatin is one
of these solutions.
Tyndall worked to get a high-power
microscope which would help him
observe what was happening in these
solutions, but with no success. One
day he noticed the sunbeams in his
room and he found that he could
see the tiny dust particles with his
naked eye when they were in the
sunbeams light. although he could
not see them when they were not in
this beam.
He applied this principle to colloidal
solutions and, sending beam Of light

wooded shores to avoid mosquitoes.
Be sure the site you select has plenty
of tirewood available, and level spot
upon which to pitch your tent.
AS rule, two men in a canoe work
together better than three. IL your
cargo is not too heavy, and If you have
a large canoe, it is then possible to
take aboard third man. Let him sit
in the center and give him a double
blade paddle to work with and keep
him out of mischief,
For a final bic of equipment, you
might add an old umbrella. In fair
wind. even good sized handkerchief
tied to the forward paddle and held
by the two loose corners will exert

exert as much power as the bow pad

with the stern paddler as to which Is

And for final bit OF advice. before

the work Of loading and unloading the

Great Dams Saved by Little Bubbles.

Watch the little bubbles which form
along the sides OF glass of water
that is left to stand for an hour or
two. Great dams holding billions Of
gallons Of water in check are now
protected from wreckage by ice Jams
by tiny bubbles very much like the
bubbles which form on the glass.
In Winter. when the ice forms on
the surface Of the water held in check
by the dams, an enormous amount of
pressure Is placed upon the walls of
the dams not only by the weight of
the Ice. but by it's expansion. for water
expands as it freezes. Unless some
way to keep the ice from freezing up

II you want TO start an argument
any time, just make the statement
that the black bass is not the gamest
fish that swims, His adherents are
many and they are spread all over the
country, as the bass has an unusually
wide range.
There are two varieties-tte large
mouth, so named from his larger
mouth and other differences, and the
small mouth. The first, as a rule, in
habits more quiet water with soft bot
tom, and the second usually lives In
swifter water with rock or gravel

prediction is made that ostrich trim

late Summer wearing.
The neck scarf that is large silk
square folded diagonally from one
corner to the other is decidedly popu-

square of this sort to go with them.
AS a departure from this method of
using the silk squares. some women
have worn slightly larger squares
draped round the waist and hips and
tied in knot at one side. Occasionally
one such square is tied round the
shoulders or neck and another round
the hips, but the effect is usually
better if only one such square is used.

Many women answer the question
of sleeves for Summer frocks with no
sleeves at all-and when frocks are
accompanied with little hip-length
jackets the sleeveless frock has much
in it's favor. These little jackets add
very little additional warmth to the
Summer frocks which they compile
ment. but they transform the sleeve

to frock that no one would hesitate
to wear in the street.

long cold spells. Because of this enc
gineers have worked out a way to
use air.
Air tubes are placed along the water
wall side of the dam and thrust Q
little way under the water. A tiny
stream of compressed air is then sent
through the tubes. These air bubbles
rise to the surface of the water and
in doing so disturb the water so much
that it does not freeze around the
walls.
The first big dam to put in this
system was the Keokuk Dam across
the Mississippi River at the Des

high and 4,649 feet across. It's the
