How to dive at various ages is a matter of vary g'reat importance. The young person has moss reserve power; more activity, and. requires more food, Older people show leas activity, sleep less and do not require •so much fetid.

How often we hoar and see '•instan•oes of men who have had a busy life, retiring •to seek a well-earned rest in their old ego, and passed away a`few weeks or mos:h; later when cut off, from the interests and •activities which kept their minds 'active and their bodily health sus- tained. The old saying "Remain in harness," applied in moderation, is very often one of the guideposts to e longer life. Many people worry a lot about so- called 'bodily infirmities when there really is little cause fox woa'ry. What they need to know •le that as the years go by the changed imelinations 'anid roquieements aro natural, and heeds of the .body adjust themselves to n'OW conditions•. For instance one has often hefted people complain about their:invbility to sleep as many flours as they used to aro, and think in 000 - sequence that they must be on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

With ad- vancing years, caro should aver be taken to avoid infection, there being o great tendency for old people to de- velop ,bronchitis .gnat pneumonia. To guard against these it is advisable for aged folks to avoid crowded. places and not get overheated or chilled. Sunshine is an excellent tonic at this tine of life as it is at :any stage of existence. When the ;*cart's action shows signs of failing, rest ie. far ,bet- ter than medicines. Moderate exer- cise, graded to suit different ages, ie is inadvisable after youth has passed, is en =count of the blond' pressure in- oraasimg as the yeses go by.

The danger from icebergs in the North Atlantic is becoming so great that a destroyer has been .Sent ant by' Britain to .see if it is possible to dis- perse some of these floating ,masses by means of torpedoes. Although this is a new development, iceberg -hunting is a regular part of the work of American Navy vessels. Each year vigorous raids on the Ice - fields aro carried out, The International Ice Patrol, n,s the fleet is cailed, came into existence as the result of the sinking of the Titanic by striking an iceberg in April, 1911 Since then it hits clone mgch good work.

The British 11.34, the first dirigible to Cross the Atiantic,g•barted froze past lrcrtlI e, 'Bootland, July. 1, 1910,, alta landed. at Roosevelt Field, Mineola, Long Island, on the morning of July 6, covering the 3,2'00 miles its 108 ]tour's and 12tminutes. Shia left' New Yorlc on tse..ireturit trip to Scotland July 9 and reached ller 'home pert a few days later. On January 29, 1921, the his- torie craft; which has cost moxe than 91,000,000 to build,.was cut abnoat In two by a violent wind and left a wreck outside her airdrome near Edinburgh% It is recalled that despite elaborate arrangements• two yours ago the men of the 11-34 passed through harrowing. hours when the leviathan of the olouds ran into a shallow atmospheric depres- sion off the coast of Newfoundland, They were then within a few hundred miles of their goal. "Tho weather was terrible," said Major G. H. Ceolce, the navigating of- ficer et the It -34, "It seemed as tlsough the atmosphere was haunted by 5,000 devils: We were- shaken to the core. T,hlat night we hit every- thing—heavy rain, thick fog and low visibility The ship seemed as though she WAS going to break inter bits, rising and falling like a cork on a heavy sea. At timeaehe seamed to stand up thirty degrees into the air. Alll had been fine salting up to that time. The most unusual thing about the entire trip was the extreme violence of the 'bumps' i regions where they were totally unexpected. I consideroil it al- most a miracle that we completed the trip successfully after what we went through. The weather situation on the Atlantic must bo investigated thor- oughly before air travel between Eng- land and America can be made safe and practicable. With the limited in- formation we have now, transatlantic travel is highly dangerous, 'Atlantic Crossed In Air Three Times Three successful air flights• over the wide expanse of the Atlantic were achieved; 000 in a hydroplane, an- other in a biplane and, finally, the third in the 17.-34. The hydroplane, known as the NC -4, one of tour United States naval machines, in charge of Lieutenant Commander Albert C, Itoa.d, loft Trepassey, N.P., May 16, 1919, and reached Hotta, in the Azores in fifteen hours and eighteen minutes, having traversed the 1,200 miles at an average speed of 78.4 knots, Later it flew to Portugal. Prior to the three successful flights alluded to previous attempts has been Made to negotiate "the big pond" through the air. The earliest of these was made by Walter Wellman, Ameri- can journalist and explorer, and Mel- vin Vaninan, On October 15, 1910, in a dirigible balloon called the "Alineri- ca." They started out from Atlantic City, Ni,.with a crew of four men, in- cluding an Englishman, an Australian and Two Americans. Their objective was any point on the coast of England, Ireland or France to which the wind night carry them, After being three days and nights in the air, aailiug 1010 miles and toss- ed about by adverse winds, the party was picked up by the steamship Trent, 875 miles east of Cape Hatteras, half way between New York and Bermuda. Tire dirigible was abandoned at sea. Most Daring Flight Ends in Grief. Flarry G. Hawker, a British aviator, and Lieutenant Commander Macken- zie Grieve, of the British Navy, in a heavier-than-air machine, started from St. Johns, N.F., May 18, 1019, on a nor -stop Right to Ireland. The attempt was generally regarded as the most daring of them nil up to that --time. Hawker and Grieve, atter many hours of peril in the air and struggling against 51001ly conditions, were res- cued in mien ocean by the Danish atoanship Mary, May 111. hawker was killed on July 12, 1921, sited the game line tante on his machine exploded while he was malting a landing at Hen- don, Eng„ flying field. The Spider's Trap. Have you ever seen a spider con- structing his web? It is one of the most intereetiug and most beautiful sights in Nature, Having found a suitable place, he begins first to make the "spokes." The spokes are made of a different Mad of material from the web proper—they are not sticky. Now beglne the teal business of making the trap itself. Starting at one of the spokes, the spider gums down a thread, and then moves in a spiral direction, paying ottt the thread as he goes, It is gullimed firmly down to each spoke, and it is provided with thousands. of tiny drops of guns in be - Wean the spokes. • This guns, secreted by a special gland in the spider, bolds captive airy fly that touches ono of the spiral errands. Round and round goes theespider weaving the sticky, net and spacing its meshes so that no fly can pass be. tween them. As soon as the trap is perfect, .the spider takes tip his position at its centre, layin& each of iia eight legs on one of the spokes.

Ydit can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail post- paid at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 92,50 from The' Dr. Williams' Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont. The Eagle Eye of the Forest Airplane. The use of airplanes in forest pro- tective work is bringing to tight some valuable features that had not been anticipated. Most 'forest fires are caused by the carelessness of human beings. It prospectors, hunters, camp- ers, fishermen, and others who go into the woods for business or pleasure could be educated to be always care- ful with their camp fires, their match- es and their Mgai'otte stubs over half the load would be lifted from the shoulders of the fire fighters. This is the reason wily the tire, warning poster is probably the moat important single factor in forest protection. And here carnes in a little psychology in which the airplane figura: When a man camps at a place where a warning against the careless use of fire is con- spicuously posted he careful to put out his Piro, but when he camps at a spot where he seems to bo outside of the range of human touch or observa- tion, he is apt to grow careless and fires are likely to follow iu his trail. One of the Dominion Forestry Branch inspectors, in reporting on his first week's experience in observation from an airplane, records this fact that men camping in the woods or out trout the city for a few days or a week -end are suddenly and effectively reminded of what they ought to do by the appear- ance of an airplane high above them, attending strictly to its business of patrolling the forest. This impression is deepened when the men realize that they and their ctunp have been seen from the airplane. Of this they are certain, when they see a message fluttering clown to thein through the air. They naturally watch where the paper falls arid, if possible; get it. They Lind it a meosags_reminding then that as 'citizens of Canada, they should assist the Forestry Brandt and the Air Board in protecting their ova proper- ty --the forest—by being careful with 11re. As preventing fires is much more economical and oti'•ective than fighting firs, this feature of airplane patrol is of great importance. Health from Sarna.

The nerves of the feet are slightly it'ri- tated by the sand grains, end the blood; being thus stinlullited, circulates more freely. Doctors say that, apat't from tate physical effects, • the mental powers are greatly invigorated by the exer- cise, Their explanation is that the long strotcbes of sand, together with tete absence of noise and other dis- turbances, have a soothing effect on the mind, which quickly responds to the trentnetlt.

Probably no party that has ever lett London carried a stranger assortment of luggage than did the Emir of Kat- sina the native Nigerian ruler, who left recently for his homeland with his several wives after having had the time of his life In England, While the travellers had no trunks to epealc of they took enough things into their special train compartment to cause a Canadian porter to turn white. There were dozens of packages and bundles done up in cloth, tea pots, pails and colored vases, but the prize bit of luggage was a gigantic copper bathtub which was carried .into the car with great ceremony. It was not stated to what use •the Emir intended to put the bathtub, but the water with which all the pails and teapots were filled, it was explained, would be used by the party before the prayers which they would be compelled to make lu the train. The Emir's wives seemed particu- larly delighted and under their hoods they giggled like schoolgirls and ale buns which had been purchased for then at the station. They were a bit annoyed when the crowd peered in at them through the windows, but they were so delighted with the buns• that Just before the train pulled out nn - other large quantity was bought. The Emir le going hack to attend the Mohammedan festival at Mecca, "But I am coming back;" he said, "and one of the things I am corning back for is to enjoy a day's •huntiug in Eng- land."

It is impossible to say what the exact causes are which, operating for eeutnries, have produced this result (lack of trees on the prairie), but it is generally thought b,v those who have given some attention to the sub- ject, that a large part of 'what is now prairie was not originally so; In fact there is direct evidence to show that at least some district, which are now treeless wre originally well timbered. Undoubtedly the chief agency which little by little, has caused the prairies to encroach on the timbered area is the frequently recurring pralrle fire. It is well known to those tnnlillar with the country lint, it flros are kept out of a distr'lut for e number of year's, small bluffs of poplar spring up all around the sloughs end low places, which if not disturbed ,grarinaliy 01 - tend till eventually a formerly treeless district becomes well timbered. From this it would seem that had Rtes not been so prevalent an the past, the tim- bered areas would be much more ex- tensive than they are itt present. The fact stilt remains, However, that there aro iuunehse trects of land absolutely treeless which can unly be utilized to their fullest advantage after a certain measure of protection is afforded by the presence of belts or plantations of trees,—Norm= 151, Ross: Dominion Forest Nursery Station, Indian dead, Seek, What One of the Beat Known • Travellers in Canada Says.
