They know that the thing they pride themselves) upon is in itself a virtue, and can not see how they are overdoing it. One is a woman who prides herself on plain speaking. She says she sim- ply tells the truth at all times. Now, of course, truth in itself i$ a virtue and one greatly to be desired. But one can go to excess even with the truth.

If the chalk is purchased in cone-shaped lumps, it is well to shave them down to a fine powder, which should then be mixed with a small quantity of soap suds until a thick paste has been formed. After the paste has hard- ened into round cakes, it is ready for use. It should again be powder- ed and spread on the offending spot, under which cotton material has pre- viously been spread. Several layers of tissue paper should be placed over the spot and a hot iron applied to the paper, with care that et does not come in contact with the silk itself.. This method will leave the silk free from blemish, if followed carefully. CLEANING UPH7 E WAR ZONE Soil to be Subjected to Process to Recover Metals ,Which Fill It. Europe's battle fields, says an edi- torial writer in the Mining and Scien- tific Press, have been showered with steel and iron and brass from shells, exploded and unexploded, and from p. pity to allow so much good food to go to waste. If the slaughter of the caribou is begun by market hunters, the Gove.newnt should so :safeguard the animals as to prevent their ex- termination. It is to be hoped the caribou will not meet the fate of the buffalo in the United States. If the herds are properly conserved they should add materially to Canada's meat supply for many years. "The development of the fond re- sources of the vest ,nosey tundras. of northern Canada will demonstrate( anew that the northern limit of pro - electivity has not yet been reached,, and that a great fertile area of Can-' ada, more extensive than her famous; wheat lands, remains as yet virtually unknown and unexploited."

Rouse, another northern ex- plorer recently in Edmonton, direct- ed attention to the Barren Lands caribou as another source of meat supply which he believes, if properly husbanded, would be virtually inex- haustible. "I estimate there ere 60,000,000 caribous in northern Canada," said Mr. Rouse. "They winter in the Bar- ren Lands, but in summer venture in search of pasturage as far south as Athapupuskow Lake and the region south of Churchill River, They sup- ply the Eskimos, Indians, hunters and lumbermen with quantities of meat and wolves slaughter thousands of them annually. Still they are in- creasing in numbers. They are a species of deer about the size of a reindeer and their Inset is tender and of fine flavor. They could easily be domesticated and, like the caribou herds of Alaska, now becoming an abundant meat supply. "The vast herds of caribou are a meat mine which should be worked by companies, with organized bands of hunters and equipped with storage plaints on the hunting grounds.

Men of perfect genius are known in all centuries by their perfect res- pect to all law, and love of past tra- dition; their work in the world is never innovation, but new creation without disturbing for an instant th foundations which were laid of o time. Chemists, a few years ago, discover- ed that they could get helium in a pure state by heating monazite the stuff that yields thorium, out of which incandescent gas mantels are made, But the war has driven invention on at a great pace; and often accident helps invention—as, for instance, when some folks in Texas complained that their natural gas, though ado- quate in supply, did not burn well. Government experts, asked for ad- vice, found that the reason it did not burn well was (as analysis disclosed) that it contained 2 per cent. or more of helium. Helium won't burn. Why, then, not use It for balloons? Eureka, In a moment the long -puz- zling problem—that of finding a non- inflammable gas for filling balloons --- was 'solved, Practical experiments proved the solution satisfactory and complete, 1'o separate the helium from natural gas was not vary difficult. All that was needed was to chill the gas to a temperature where all the rest of the stuff was frozen, The helium, being the last to freeze, was thereby sep- arated out. Atmospheric air is a gas for a mix- ; ture of gases) only because of tem - a pesters. Make it cold enough, cull Id it becomes a solid, resembling clear glass. Any gas will become a liquid and then a solid if the thermometer descends sufficiently far. EAGLE AraTeit $701rnE Vslrate Co -elms' Cog war bid.

At the temperature of helium's liquefaction everything else in erec- tion is frozen solid, even including hy- drogen. It is interesting in this connection to consider that helium has before it a much more important prospect than that of filling balloons. It may fur- wish the light of the future—a more brilliant, more beautiful and much cheaper light than any now in use, It a glass tube be filled with helium gas, and a current of electricity be passed through, the tubo becomes brilliantly luminous with a light et Yellowish color, soothing and agree- able to the eye.
