The growing light of the autumn
morning greying the eastern sky
showed to scared watchers on the
beach three strange ships that had,
apparently, sprang from nowhere dur-
ing the night. And the watchers on
the beach were scared, too, for though
this was the year 1492, not one of

his or her life.
Then serenger things commenced to ;
happen: Something dropped from one
of the ships ---caravels, their crews

sterned caravel, Sancta 'Maria, driven
by snowy sails with a scarlet cross
emblazoned on them, had carried him
at a slow eight knots across the hith-
erto uncharted waters. the sport of
the tides, dependent upon Nature's
winds for her propulsion in the right
direction.
Culuinbus' crews were unwilling ex-
plorers. It is on record that some
were felons brought front prisons to
make up the companies of the three
ships. A few crude navigation instru-
ments and the sun and stars were all
his aids in the keeping of a due -west
course, and the caravels had neither
speech nor sight of their fellowmen
until, seven months after they set out,
they once again made Spain, Only
theta could those who granted Colum-
bus permission to make the venture
be told of its snccess or failure,
And the only authentic record of the
trip is contained in a hand -printed
book made at the dictation of Colum-

This pioneer from the clouds carried
a flag, nor could he annex land in the
name of the sovereign to whom he
owed allegiance.. He dict not kiss the
earth, though he was unfeignedly glad
to feel it beneath his feet, nor slid he
cry with joy; Instead, he set about
seeing that the specially -trained moor-
ing parties of American aviation me-
chanics made R -34's anchors properly
fast to her moorings.
Then the great airship commenced
to sink lower and lower till her belly
almost touched the ground, and from
her gondolas there stepped less than
a score of men.
With gyery Scientific Aid.
Behind R-34 lay a voyage <if 3,130
miles, performed in 108 hours and 12
minutes, or just over four and a half
days. The great airship, 675 ft. long,
had fought baffling gales and atmos.'
pherte storms, and nosed through
fogs at an average speed of nearly
thirty knots per hour, despite the fact,
that her petrol supplies were growing
alarmingly short. Never bad she been
the sport of the winds, nor had she
been compelled to grope her way, for
skilled navigators, armed with ultra
scientific instruments, had guided her
on the shortest route across the track-
less wastes of air.
Her drew were all volunteers --in-
deed, one of them was so eager to
make the passage that be stowed Man-

ment unable to establish communi-
cation with her starting point and des-
tination, for at intervals her wireless
tolaeof her progress, and even sum-
moned aid to stand ny Iter when her
feel threatened to give out.
And in less than a minute after she
had touched ground, wireless tele-
graphy told the whole world of her
feat. And hundreds of cinema camer-
as filmed her as she hovered and

same night witnessed in photographs
the thrilling scene,

An Exception in Daylight Saving
The daylight saving laws effective
in many countries have never been
placed in operation in the Panama
Canal Zone. This is for the reason
That there is very little seasonal
change in the time of sunrise and sun-
Set for this latitude (approximately 9
degrees north),
The earliest sunrises, occuring in
May and June, are approximately 6
o'clock, and latest, in January and
February, about .6.35. The earliest
sunsets, in November, occur at about
5.50; and the latest, in June and July,
at approximately 6.40, The •usual
working hours in the Canal Zone be-
ing from 7 in the morning until 5 in
the afternoon, the morning margin of
daylight before work ` varies from
twenty minutes to one hour. The
evening period of light between 5
o'clock and the beginning of twilight
(sunset) varies from fifty minutes to
one hour and thirty-five minutes. To
advance the time one hour would
throw the 7 a.m. workers into the twi-
light.period and tend to reduce rather
than increase their hours of daylight
labor, The morning twilight period
is about half an hour the year round,
the evening twilight slightly longer.
In the latitude of Southern Ontario,
sunrise 'varies from about 4.20 a.m. in.
June to 7.35 the first part of January,
or three hours and a quarter, as com-
pared with a variation of thirty-five
minutes through the year in the Canal
Zone. Sunset varies from about 4.25
p.m. in December to' 7,40 in June and
July. three hours and a quarter, as
compared with the fifty minutes varia-
tion in the Canal Zone between ear-
liest and latest sunset. The twiliglit
period is abort the same. Daylight
hours are about eight hours and fifty-
five minutes at the least in southern
Ontario, and approximately fifteen
hours and twenty minutes at the
most. In the Canal Zone the hours
of daylight range from approximately
eleven hours and thirty-five minutes
to twelve hours and thirty-five min-
utes.
The office of the chief hydrographer
of the Canal Zone has recently fur-
nished the police stations with charts
showing the daylight, twilight and
darkness periods through the months.
They are of use for occasional refer-
ence` in testimony as to the degree of
light existing at the time under in-
vestigation, as in traffic accidents, or
where the possibility of having wit-
nessed an occurrence is questionable
by reason of the degree of light at
the time. The street lighting sche-
dule is also to be arranged by the
charts.

A LOVER WHO WAS
ABSENT-MINDED,
A great many stories have been told
of the extreme absent-mindedness of
learned men, but none is More amus-
ing than that told of Ludwig Brugge -
mann, whose vivid imagination helped
to put him in a very embarrassing
situation.
Bruggemann, scholar, who was in
1817 a councillor of the consistory at
Stettin, had got some reputation hY
his clever work with statistics. For
many years he had been a widower,
and since he found single life lonely,
he began to look round for a wife.
When the thought of marrying again
first came to him, he immediately con -
faded et to one of Ins friends. The lat-
ter gave him every encouragement,
and even went so far as to mention a
certain charming little widow, who
was certainly attached to him, and •
would make him a most devoted wife.
That night Bruggman went to bed
in a happy state of mind, thinking of
the lovely widow. In Ins dreams ha,
still saw her, ansd even proposed to
her. Did she refuse? How could she:
And he spent the remainder of the
night dreaming of tile happiness they
would enjoy as man and wife.
When. he awoke, it was a glorious
Sunday morning, ale dressed him-
self in his best and wasted no time in
handing to the minister the announce-
ment of 'his engagement, to be read in
due form at the morning service. The
announcement was made without a ,
question. Hardly bad the words been
uttered when a little scream was
heard in the rear of the church; the
widow, shocked at hearing herself so
unexpectedly disposed of, had fallen
in a swoon.
The blunder could never be satis-
factorily explained, and the visionary
engagement remained visionary. The
lady might not have refused an honor-
able proposal from the councilor, but',
she never could be convinced that lie
had not made intentional game of her.
A MOTHER'S TRIALS
Care of Home and Children Of-
ten Causes a Breakdown:
The woman at home, deep in house-
hold duties and the cares of mother-
hood, needs occasional help to keep
her in good health. The demands up-
on a mother's health are many and
severe. Her own health trials and
her children's welfare exact heavy
tails, while hurried meals, broken rest
and much indoor living tend to weak-
en her constitution. No wonder that
the woman at home is often indisposes
through weakness, headaches, back-
aches and nervousness, Too many
women have grown to accept these
visitations as a part of the lot of
motherhood. But many and varied as
her health troubles are, the cause is
simple and the cute at hand. When
well, it is the woman's good blood that
keeps her well; when i11 she must
make her blood rich to renew her
health. The nursing mother more
than any other woman in the world
needs rich blood and plenty of it.
There is onealways unfailing way to
get this good blood so necessary to
perfect health, and that is through the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
pills make new blood abundantly, and
through their use thousands of weak,
ailing wives and mothers have been
made bright, cheerful and strong. It
you are ailing, easily tired, or depress-
ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and
your family to give Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills a fair trial. What this
medicine has done for others it will
surely do for you.
Chinese Medicine.
Dried frogs and asbestos are com-
mon ingredients in the "order" which
the Chinese doctor prescribes for his
patient. For the sake of variety he
may include in the prescription any of
the following for which the patient
perhaps may express a preference:
Scorpions, rhino? ros skins, wood
shavings, flies, crushed pebbles,
moths, centipedes, toads, lizards, cater-
pillars, powdered snakes or wasps.

MULTIPLE THINKING.
It has been asserted that the brain
can function directly upon only one
thought
tune and that
gthea-
ap-
parent multitude of matters consider-
ed by the mind in a ininufium of time
is due to the rapidity with which
thought moves from one to the other.
For instance, two objects that form
one nteetal picture, as two horses,
may be visualized at once; yet distant
things, as a city and a mountain, are
entertained by the mental faculties,
not at' the .same instant, but in lapid
succession.
Take the example of a man seated
at a piano and singing. Before him
is the sheet of music, perhaps new to
lulu. In the lines awl spaces the notes
have different meanings or places in
the octave of the keyboard, according
as they are in the bass or the treble
clef. The player's two hands are
busied with these two lines of music,
which are thus of slightly different
meaning and are altogether different
in performance, having in common
only harmony and time. There are
also the composer's annotations, or
directions for empbasis, to which the
player gives regard or not, as he
pleases. Then there are the printed
words of the song to be read and to
be sung. Also the player's foot must i
sometimes operate the pedal, which,
in addition, it is the experence tbat
unrelated thoughts enter his mind; the
probable pleasure or dislike of the
audience and even memories recent
or far in the past. With all that the
music must be executed in proper
time.
Thus at the same instant the per-
former may be busied with four lines
of text; two of the notes, one of the
musical annotation, one of words; his
foot operatifig the pedal, his two
hands finding the notes on the key-
board to which he occasionally looks,
while his voice is engaged in song, and
his emotions enter into the singing
and playing, together with thought of
external, unrelated matters:
It seems too much to allow the ar-
gument here that the entire reading is
done with infinite rapidity between
the playing of the notes, and that the
mind then directs the hands to press
the keys and the voice to sing at the
proper moment, and then releases it-
self from that part in order to sweep
across the four lines of text for the
next measure or part of a measure.
It is true that the muscles have some
automatic powers, yet there must be
some mental supervision simultaneous-
ly directed over the complete per-
formance.
Weeping Potatoes.
Traveller (to Irishman) : "Well,
Pat, I see you have a small garden."
"Yes, sorr."
"What is it set with?"
"Nothing, sorr. I set it with pota-
toes last year, and not one of them
came up."
"That's strange! How do you ex-
plain that?"
"Well, sorr, the man next door to
me set his garden full of onions."
"Well, had that anything to do with
your potatoes not growing?"
"Yes, sorr. Bedad, them onions was
that strong that my potatoes couldn't
sea to grow because of their eyes
watering."

Lost Arms Without Pain.
Our story of a man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which he did not hear must
seem incredible to many people. Here
is something like an analogy.
King Edwart once brought together
at his diner table Rustem Pasha, who
had had half his right hand and part
of his arm torn off by a bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow mulched
away by a tiger.
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
•.dulled all other senses.

hired man for his extravagance in
wanting to carry a lantern in going
to call an his best girl.

Misplaced Sympathy.
There were two Browns in the vil-
lage,. both fishermen. One lost his
wife and the other his boat at about
the same time.
The vicar's wife called, as she sup-
posed, on the widower, but really upon
the Brown whose boat had gone down.
"I am so sorry to hear of your great
loss," she said.
"Oh, it ain't much matter;' was the
Philosophical reply. "she wasn't up to
much."
"Indeed:" said the surprised lady.
"Yes," continued Brown, "she was a
rickety old thing. I offered her to my
mate, but he wouldn't have her. I've
had my eye on another for some
time."
And then the outraged lady fled.
Too Slow.
"Please, mother says thele matches
won't strike:"
From behind his counter the grocer
looked down on the child with the air
of an insulted saint.
"Won't strike?" he said." "Why,
look here!" Anti, he struck one on his
leg.
The child departed home to tell his
mother of: the mistake she had made.
But in a very short time he was back
at the shop with the matches, which
he laid on the counter with an air of
finality.
"Mother says she hasn't time to
come and strike matches on your

GiRLS! WHITEN YOUR SKIN
WITH LEMON JUICE
Make a beauty lotion for a few cents
to remove tan, freckles, sallowness.
Your grocer has the lemons and any
drug store or toilet counter will supply
you with three ounces of orchard
white for a few cents. Squeeze the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle,
then put in the orchard white, and
shake well. This makes a quarter pint
of the very best lemon skin whitener
and complexion beautifier known.
Massage this fragrant creamy lotion
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands and just see how freckles, tan,
sallowness, redness and roughness
disappear and how smooth, soft and
clear the skin becomes. Yes! It is
harmless, and the beautiful results
will surprise you.
