Tinder -Boxes for Soldiers
There are many ways in which old
and almost forgotten methods of war-
fare have Seen adapted to modern use
in the trenches, the hand -grenade, the
catapult, and even armour having
been found efficacious in many in-
etsnces. The soldiers in the trenches,
who have the very newest inventions
In their equipment are very glad to
go back to the old flint and tinder
bones, because they can't use the
matches, for they suffer so much from
the damp in the trenches that they are
soon rendered useless. To meet this
difficulty, the old flint and tinder
boxes are being supplied to the sol-
diers and the sailors. Another good
thing about the tinder fire is that 'it
does not blow out in the wind as a
match does, and does not show a flame
to attract the enemy's attention..
A specially -planned tinder box was
prepared. It is small and compact,
only half an inch dep, and contains a
43j1, -inch fuse, or length of prepared
tinder, a shaped section of flint, and a
herd steel. Inside the lid of the box

may do it with a little trouble and
perseverance, All you have to do is
to place the water in a pail ar.d stir
it with a wooden peddle. If you keep
at it long enough it will certainly boll.
Five hours of constant and rapid stir-
ring are sufficient to :perform the feat
successfully. Tbe water will, after a
time, grow warm, and then it will grow
hot—so ,hot, in fact, that you cannot
hold your hand in it, and finally it will
boil. Professor Ames, of Johns Hop'
kins, annually illustrates some of the
phenomena of heat by having one of
his students perform the trick in front
of his class. It is a tiresome job, but
it is perfectly feasible.
The point which Professor Ames
wishes to illustrate is what 1s known
as the mechanical equivalent of heat.
It requires just so many foot-pounds
of work to develop a given quantity
of beat. By turning the paddle in the
water at a regular speed it is possible
to find out just how much work is
required to raise tate temperature of
water one degree. The best meas-
urement so far made, and, in fact,
the one which is accepted as the
standard of the world, is that which
was measured- in Johns Hopkins Col-
lege.
Heat is developed in almost any
substance which is subjected to con-
tinuous or very violent action, It is

HOW EXPLOSIONS ACT
Reason for Windows Failing Toward..
Disturbance Rather Than Away
When there is a violent explosion
the surrounding air is thrown back
with sudden force in air waves that,
are powerful in proportion in which
-the, explosion is violent and powerful.
The explosion acts in all directions at
once with equal force; and the air on
all sides is reread out, and surrounding
air rushes in to 911 the threatened
vacuum: When ever the air waves
start up suddenly, there will be de-'
molition if there is not sufficient powtr
of resistence.
A curious thing about the effect • 01
these' waves at a distance is the re-
stricted limit of their force. Some-
times, as a reselt of a big explosion,
the front windows of a building several
miles away will be drawn out and no
other building on the block damagid.
Ig such eases the air spgtion is apt to

there is by the second system. Here
the farmer rents the land to the flax
men for a certain fixed price, but he
prepares the seed bed, does the sow-
ing, and the hauling himself. The
third plan, while more risky, holds
out greater possible profits. The,
farmer takes the risk of getting a

I had suffered so with my kidneys I could
hardly do my housework. I used several

advised to try a box of Doan's Sidney

Something to Think About
Did you ever seriously think about
the millions of -. dollars expended an-
ntiallq for alcoholic beverages in the
Province of Ontario
As nearly as can be estimated from
• figures, based on Dominion Govern-
ment returns, the consumption of alco-
holic beverages in the Dominion in 1914
was $103,049,129. Assuming that On-
tario, whose population is one-third of
the Dominion, consumes one-third of
the alcoholic beverages, her share
, amounts to $34,349,709.66. Let us say
$33,000,000
In other words, Ontario's Annual
Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages
represents the cost of -
1st. Rifles, Machine Guns and Field Guns for an army of
690,523 men on active service for a period of 12 months.
2nd. Or Accoutrements, (Camp Equipment, Harness and Sad-
dlery, Transport Vehicles, Signalling and Telephone Equipment,
Tools and Miscellaueous Requirements for 1,269,231 men at the
front.
3rd. Or one year's Clothing and Necessaries for 330,000 men.
4th.. Or Rations, Subsistence or Money Allowances for
226,027 "boys" ou active service for one year.
5th. Or the Canadian Government's Separation Allowance
for 117,773 dependents for the entire year of 1916.
The foregoing figures are based on the war estimates of the
Department of Militia and Defence for 1916-17, as published on
December 31st, 1915,.in The Toronto Globe.
