pair of humming-birde build a nest
en a cedar limb. We bad pressed
tlrls lake in our little power -canoe,
the Papoose. About four o'clock
we cane buck to the shore.
Onee out of the heavy woods, the
beat Was intense, and it was so stili
that not so much as an aspen leaf
quivered. Louise sank down in the
shade of a willow and fanned her-
self with her sun hat, Virgil walked
down the shore to find the nest of a
sandpiper that we had flushed that
morning, while I busied myself get-
ting the motor ready. The town lay,
across the lake five miles away, but
plainly visible in the clear moun-
tain air, We could even hear the
whine of the great •eaves in the mills,
and the labored breathing or the
switch engine as it wrestled with
the heavy loads •uf lumber. When
all woe, ready I called to Virgil, and
he and Louise took their places in
the boat.
"I feel as if something unusual'
were going 'to happen," Louise
said, as she seated herself.
"I feel that way, too," I replied.
"I feel that this motor is going to
behave properly and start the first
time I give the fly -wheel a turn."
''No, really," Louise insisted.
"Have you never experienced a
feeling as if something dark were
hanging over you 7"
"I wish I could experience some-
thing dark, a cloud, for instance,
that would shut out some of this
heat," said Virgil.
"'Have then thy wish,' " Louise
quoted, and she pointed to the
range of hills south of the lake. A
huge 'black mass was rolling above
the hilltops.
"That isn't cloud," Virgil said.
"It must be smoke, There is prob-
ably a forest fire beyond the hills."
"It is neither," I broke in; "it's
dust. We are about to experience
on 'the lake a danger that menaces
travellers on the desert."
We were now well out on the
lake, and I hesitated whether to
return or keep on. I watched the
coming atorm, and decided that it
would meet tis before we could
make shore, and that the Papoose
could not make head against it.
So ,1 reached down and increased
the speed of the motor. The little
craft tore through the water. The
cloud of dust had by this time dark-
ened the sun. Already we could
hear the howling cf the' gale and
the crashing of the great trees up-
rooted by the fury of. the blast. The
lake was still calm and unruffled,
but there was a milieu coppery
tinge to the water. We saw the
storm strike the lake three miles
below. Instantly the calm water
was lashed into foam, and a broad
white band came tearing up the
lake, preceded by a smother of
blinding, choking .dust, It filled our
eyes until we could not seer and, our
nostrils until we could hardly
breathe. In a few moments the
white wall of water rolled upon us.
The Papoose came near capsizing.
"Pont,'' I called to Virgil, "and
run before the gale!"
He swung the boat, and the next
wave struck her squarely astern,
and drove her like an arrow into
the one ahead. Louise sat perfectly
still, holding to the thwarts, and
watched the boiling sea. I blessed
her ,courage, for if she had become
frightened -and made a movement,
the tiny boat would have foundered.
The last sight I had of the shore,
it was more than a mile distant.
Now the dins(was so demo that it
was invisible,. I took off my coat,
knelt in the bottom, and held it
over the motor to protect it from
the flying spray, for. our lives de-
pended upon it. Virgil held the
steering -wheel. Louise -faced the
situation with Admirable courage,
although every time we struck a
wave she was deluged with spray.
The storm increased in fury, and
aa we neared the shure we could
heare the hoarse roar cf the break -
erns on the beach. I peeredthrough

long concrete tanks, over which the
waves dashed; .Virgil saw that the
wrater on the north side of the tanks
was less turbulent, and turned the
boat in that direction, 'Two men on

GERMAN BIRTH-RATE FALLING
Will Ile as Low as 1'.i'ance in a mew
Years' Time.
According to a statement made in
the Reiehstag by the German Min-
isterof War, and corroborated in
part by the.-1Viinietee of the Inter-
ior, the birth rate in Germany is
steadily falling, and if the present
rate continues it will in a few years
be as low as that of France, In
1876 the birth-rate in Germany was
30% per 1,000 inhabitants; in 1912
it had fallen to 29, indicating that
in the period named; the decrease in
births amounted to'' about three-
quarters of a million per, year.
Since the beginning of the cern
tury the falling off in the birth-rate
has assumed alarming proportions.
In the 24 years from 1876 to 7900
.the decline in the rate per 1,000
was 3%, while from 1900 to 1919 it
was 7, or more than double in 12
yeara what it was in the preceding
quarter of: a century. Should this
decrease eontinue,'.11 is estimated
by Professor Wolff, the distinguish-
ed mathematician and economist,
that by 1920 Germany will be con-
fronted by the painful fact and
problem that her birth-rate will be
the lowest in Europe.
. But if the birth-rate in Germany
has declined, ,5o also has the death -
rate, and to this alone is doe the
fact that in the 12 years since 1900
the population of the empire lyse
increased by eight and a half mil-
lions. The death -rate in 1876 was
96 per 1,000 inhabitants. In 1900
this was reduced 'to 20X, while last
year the rate had fallen to 16%, .If
the death -rate had not fallen, the
Minister of the Interior estimates
that there would be a reduction of
the population to -day. Throughout
the period' indicated ---from 1900 to
1919—the marriage -rate. remained
the mime—about eight per 1,000 of
the+ipopulation—so that, as the
Minister of the Interior says, "the
cause which (night explain the sur-
prising lowering of the natality of
German»' is not to be sought rn
that direction"

A rich old woman had one hobby.
It was the lavishing of-monec an

and again to suit her changing

brace her rip, drank of a red liquid
she thought was wine, but which
afterwards 'turned out to be red
The doctor, hurriedly sum-
moned, impatiently shook his head,
"Mrs, B---.-," he said, "there is
such a thing es carrying this mania
for interior decoration too far."

wrought by the newspaper accounts
has remitted in at least two disoov-
erie:s that nray be the mane of says
ing such patients in the future,
Dr. Bertram Bernheim, of Balti-
more, as vne instance, has invent-
ed a little instrument, that is not
unlike a glass and rubber gas hose
with two atop -cocks on it. Since
Dr, Alexis Carrel invented his me -
thud of transfusing bloocl from one
person to another merely by in-
serting au Y-shaped tube into the
arteries of one and connecting
them (lith the veins in the arms of
the one who is to receive the blood,
it has been a comparatively simple
matter to save many lives where
formerly almost sure death occur-
red.
Dr. Bertram Bernheim, who
has improved on many of Dr. Car-
rell's devices, can now insert one
of these glass tubes, shaped like a
bow, in the arm, of any one -go that
the patient's own blood will ;gave
the upper part of the, arm and enter
his crescent -like canal, through
which it flows, to finally return to
the individual's own blood stream
in the lower arm. This is the first
time that any one has ever sug-
gested handling a man's blood
while it w'aa alive and flowing
through his veins.
.This invention places all of the
blood in your body at the disposal
of the surgeon, who clan examine
it, dilute it, weaken tt, filter it;
analyse it, .atld• finally allow it to
flow en like the sweet, gentle Avon,
after it has been purified and
strengthened. The stopcocks in-
serted in tw.o places in the tube
allow the doctor to flag the flowing
blood as ho long as he pleases.
Thus every ounce of blood in your
body can be brought to cu pause for
a longer or shorter period, and
any kind of harmless manipulation
can be carried on,
Meanwhile, the rest of the blood
is switched off in another channel,
and the circulation is in no way in-
terfered with. At the same time a
solution of a pertain salt keepe the
stationary parts of the blood from
clotting, and at 'the same time this
is transpiring the surgeon can ab-
stract every last vestige of such
poison as bichloride of mercury.
Moreover, this is all Clone in less
than the seven minutes necessary
for all of the blood to complete a
full circuit of the body. If, how-
ever, there is any reason for the
patient fie rest, eat or attend to his
business, or for the doctor to go
about his affairs, a bandage is put
around the arm, and at some other
time the filtering is continued.
The boon that such a, contrivance
could have worked for Mr. Walker
is evident. Ile lived more than a
week and the seven grains of the
poison must have circulated over
