Sugar From Sunlight.
How sugar -forms in the beetroot,
sugar cane or maple tree has long been
a mystery. It is known that sunlight
is necessary to enable plants to con-
vert the gases of the atmosphere into
starch and sugar, and recent success-
ful experiments by Professor••Baly, of
Liverpool, who has produced sugar
artificially; are likely, to open the way
to important developments.
Some time ago he noticed that if the
strong light from an electric lamp,
such as. is 'used in cinema studios, was
allowed to fall upon a stream of car-
bonic -acid gas. a certain amount of :a
well-known disinfectant gas was pro-
duced which turned; into sugar when
dissolved in wtaer.
The quantity of sugar formed in this
way was very small, and. it was found
that the violet rays given off by the'
lamp contained light of differing wave-
lengths, some of which assisted while
others 'interfered with the formation
of the sugar. Addition of ordinary
powdered•chalk to. the water, however,
neutralized this action and produced
more sugar.
Experiments were now conducted on
a larger scale, in a rectangular glass
tank .fifteen inches square and eight
inches deep, with small holes in each
side. Having found that, the imitation
sunlight gave the disinfectant gas, Pro -
Lessor Baly "omitted this. step and filled
the tank with a solution of the gas in
water. In the middle of the tank an
electrically driven .fan was- fitted so
that the powdered chalk, which was
then added, was stirred vigorously.
S Lamps were inserted into each .of the
holes in the tank and' light allowed to
Play en the solution.
After fourteen days' ,continuous' ex-
posure to the artificial sunlight a yield
of 8 per cent. of sugar was obtained,
and after the liquid had been purified
and concentrated', a very sweet syrup
was left.
Although the process- is expensive,
it is expected that it will be cheapened
in the near future, so that the' produc=
tion of artificial sugar in this way will
become a valuable commercial proposi
tion,
Why the Ocean is Blue.
That the sea should be colored blue
on maps seems obvious. It is claim-

a hundred years old.

GIVE CONFIDENCE
TO YOUNG 'MOTHERS
A simple and safe remedy for the
common ills of childhood should be
kept in every home where there Is,a
baby or young child. Often it neces-
sary to give the little' one something
to break up a cold, allay fever, correct
sour stomach and banish the irrita-
bility that accompanies the cutting of'
teeth. Experienced mothers keep
Baby's Own Tablets on hand for such
purposes and young mothers can feel
safe with a box of the Tablets ready
for emergencies. ` The Tablets are 'a.
mild but thorough laxative that act
without griping and they are guaran-
teed to be absolutely free from opiates
or other harmful drugs, ` They are sold

Why Camp?
Mauy parents each year ask lust
why so Much •emphasis is laid on the
sunrn,Ar Scout camp. Here are some
of the reasons:
The. Boy Scout Camp satisfies that
"get .` away from honie" urge which
from tithe to time stirs in the heart of
practically every normal boy; particu-
laxly the "gypsy" in him, restive after
the restrictions of the winter and the
school, that longs for' the free spaces,
the simple, rough life 'of the camp and
the company of a "gang" of his kind.
It is this' impueee, unwisely met, that
has produced runaway boys, with re-
suiting broken homes, broken hearts
and wrecked careers;
Invariably the- boy returns home
from a Scout camp with a new ap-
preciation of his home, his brothers
and sisters and his parents, and a gen-
erally ,broadened
en-erally,broadened outlook on "life.
The Boy Scout, Camp not only satis-
fies wanderlust;' it capitalizes the im-
pulse through a play -learn program
with definite character -forming •objec-
tives . as self-control, ; self-respect,
thought for others, good sportsman-
ship, mental alertness and physical fit-
ness.
itness. The camp anti -dotes the char-
acter -weakening effect of the many
labor-saving conveniences of the town
and city' of today, and teaches• some-
thing of the cheerful resourcefulness
and self-reliance of our. pioneer Cana-
dian forefathers, •
in.anaeofmdrifting

Tosumage
and loose thinking, much lack of re-
verence and respect among young .peo-
ple, the Scout comp helps the boy to
develop a •sense`of, true values.
Often your camping Scout will ,be
compelled to act entirely on his own,
following trail signs, Lap reading and
map making, preparing a meal without
utensils. During his First Class jour-
ney, if he is ready for that, he will
ace a whole catalogue of tests which
develo'p.."mental muscle" and a ca-
pacity for original thinking end gen-
eral self-reliance.
There is no place where boys have
less sickness and where general health
is so much `improved. The clean,
pure air, much bright sun by day and
dew -washed breezes at night, daily
games, swimming and other water
sports, all: properly supervised, whet.
appetite for "plain, wholesome food.
Regular hours for sleep and early ris-
ing also contribute to health and the
joy of living which keeps boys grow-
ing and well.
Thrift is taught in preparation} fur
camp through the earning and saving
of the funds necessary. In camp many
Scouts first le'a'rn the'• real value sof
money, through strict regulation of
the amount which may be spent each
day for candy and for' other luxuries,
if these are available; and in an in-
creasing number of -camps, a camp
bank teaches every Scout how to
handle a bank account.. The fact that
every day living dosis . somebody cash
is brought home to the boy when the
per -meal and per -day costs of the camp
are being worked out.
Camps for Scoutmasters, Too.
It is not just the boys who have
camps provided for their training in
the various attributes of the "Good
Scoot," but Scoutmasters, too, have
campy provided for their 'training and
to give them practical experience
along various practical lines. One of
these is held each year in Ontario, at
"Ebor Park," a beautiful 55 -acre camp
site on the Grand River, between Paris
and Brantford- Here from 24 to 32
Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmas-
I tern at a time go..through a well-plan-
ned course . which counts toward the
earning of the Gillwell Badge—the
only proficiency badge which a Scout
leader may wear.
'This year's Ebor Park Camp will be
held from July 7th to 18th. Provincial
Headquarters is now receiving appli-
cations from men desirous of partici-
pating in it. The camp fee for the
eleven days is ten dollars.
A Poem You Ought to Know.
"There is But One May in the Year.".
Christina Georgina Rossetti was the
accomplished sister of the famous poet
and painter, Gabriel Rossetti, and per-
hap's her best-known poem is "Goblin
Market." . Her poems are deeply re-
ligious as a rule, and she has much of
her brother's rare imagination 'and
beauty of expression.
There is but one May in the year,
And sometimes May is wet and cold;
There is but one May in the year,
Before the year grows old.
Yet though it be the chilliest May,
With least of sun and most of show-
ers, '.

mother make ' a lattice -top cranberry
pie, inquired: "Muvver, is we goin' to

My Little House.
My little house has a winding Stair,
Where the sunbeams dance and
play;
My little house has a'little clock
To tell the time o' day.
Its windows, curtained blue, are wide
To the song of wind and sea;
There's a garden,too, with a gate of
green,
And a blossoming almond tree.
My little house holds treasures rare
Of ivory, jade, and gold;
Of gleaming crystal and shining brass,
And china, fragile, old.
My little house is a world apart,
So cool and still it seems;
No troubling thing comes nigh, but
'then—
'Tis only a house of dreams!

Candles as Clocks.
The first time -recorder was the sun-
dial. The Chaldeans and Egyptians
had a water clock called a elepsyd'ra.
A stream of water dripped into a jar
and on reaching a certain level moved
what to -day would be called a ball
clock. This worked a red along.
Plato introduced the clepsydra, or
water clock, into Greece, and it is sup-
posed, that this method of time mea-
surement was used in. the Middle East
even before that time (400-500 B.C.).
A specimen of the clepsydra can he
seen at the British Museum.
Sand -glasses, known to the present
generation as egg -boilers, were invent-
ed about A.D. 330 by a monk of Chart-
res named Luitprand, and according
to a French prescription the sand was

boiled in wine, the processes of. grind-
ing and boiling being repeated nine
times. Alfred the Great (871-901) util
ized Wax candles for recording time.
Marks were placed one inch apart,

Butter From Fish.
The 'Indians of British Columbia and
Alaska obtain their butter supply from
a fat little fish called the ooliohan.
Every yammer this fish comes up
the rivers from the ocean to spawn;
and millions are caught in nets • daily.
They are then thrown into rough tubs,
made from tree -logs, in which they lie
exposed to the sun.
When thoroughly softened they are
taken from the tubs and thrown into
great wooden vats of water, which has
been heated by dropping red-hot
stones into it.
As the oil from the fish rises to the
top it is skimmed off. It hardens
quickly, looks like lard, and tastes like
butter. The Indians usuallymake
enough of this butter during the sum-
mer to last throughout the winter.

"I don't see why jokes about our
race being so close are continually be-

Scotchman. "We are not close, just
thrifty."
"I think it's a shame, myself," agreed
the Irishman with whom he was walk-

They proceeded in silence until they
drew near a tobacco Shop. "Come in
and have a cigar," invited the Irish-
man..
They stepped inside. The Irishman
put his hand in his pocket, then with-
drew it with an exclamation. "By gor-
