PATIENCE REQUIRED
The constant repetition df an act
makes it a habit hi time. Parents
,Z: unlet not think they can break a habit
ill a child merely by punishmeflt or
scolding. As the habit took some time
to form so will it take patience and
perseverance to overcome. There
must be co-operation on the part of
the child.
the little one is told gently and
Ifiriniy that such a habit is not nice;
if the pareit exercises a discreet 'sup-
ervisiou so that every indulgence in
the habit can be checked, then, in
time, the habit formation will be bro-
ken dowjt and the child forgets its
existence.
We should not shock or frighten
children when trying to wean then
:from a habit of which we disapprove.
A young child has no perception of
wrongdoing and he will be unable to
understand our vehemence and ang-
t
We cannot, however, agree with
many modern writers on the behav-
ior of children when they state that
a child should never on any account
be punished for continuing in the
'w'ays front which we have tried to
turn him.
'Certainly, it is cruel and senseless
to punish a baby or a tiny to'dd'ler.
At that ;age arc muut distract the
little one''e attention either by giving
him a toy to play with, by changing
his position in his cot, and, most im-
portant of all, by searching for and
removing any underlying source of
irritation which may have induced the
habit. But, as, the child gets olcler,
certainly when he is over three years
of age, though the habit is not wrong
in itself, yet the child must be taught
obedience.

more. impression on a lively child
than any amount of talk. The slap

Ghent o'f children. A chili( who is al-
lowed to indulge in every whdm is note
the happiest child. Parents write of-
ten styling, they have reasoned or
tried to reason with their children
but that brad temper and od>'s'tinaincy
heave triumphed, and ,the child 'has re-
fused to obey. Please rememberwe
are talking now of children up to lel
or let years of age.
Well, to these parents, we point out
as delicately as we can that they are
,handling their children wrongly. Cer-
tainly all normally intelligent child-
ren are susceptible to the voice of
reason, especially when it does not
pronounce too loudly against their
own deeiros. But the voice of author-
ity is the one to which they will lis-
ten at all times if they have been pro-
perly brought up.
Many parents are worried about
little ways and 'habits which their
•babies manifest. Thumb -sucking is
one which 'is difficult 'to care, Provid-
ed the baby does not persist unduly
in the habit, it ie really nut worth
worrying about.
It is usually when the infant is
dropping off to sleep that thumb -
sucking is resorted to 'as a sedative.
Taking the -thumb gently.from the
mouth When the baby is drowsy will
not disturb him. 1If baby indulges
thumb -sucking when he is wide
awake then it should he an easy mat-
ter to distract his attention to other
things.
The habit in itself is harmless but
there is the same objection to it as
there is in allowing baby to suck a
dummy,. or "soother" practically all
day long. Ilt,,induces a wrong method
of breathing; the 'habit has also been
said 'to cause the 'formation. df a high,
narrow palate.
lil:earl rolling and !head hanging are
also distressing to watch. They may
occur in normal children who 'have
discovered thisneeane of passing 'the
time. 'When present to a marked de-
gree there may be some degree of
mental deficiency in the Schild, or
again it may be -induced 'ihy a physical
cause, such ;as teeth -cutting' or ear
ache. As the child gets odder this ha-
bit is usually ,forgotten.
'Toddlers may develop the habit of

- remind oue that the
season. for beneficial
and enjoyable winter sports is again
at hand, Other forms of recreational
activities are, for the time being,
quite forgotten. The toboggan, ski,
skate and sled are taken from their
summer store -house and properly
conditioned for the season's festivi-
ties. Children whose years scarcely
exceed the finger numerals of a
hand, youths of 'teen age, adults of
middle life and frequently those
whose years are well extended
toward the allotted span of life, all
join in the merriment of typical
Canadian winter sports.
During the winter season every
settled area in Canada is as easily
accessible by railroad as in the
summer and autumn months, Many
miles of provincial highways are
kept free of snow enabling the
motorist to reach cities, towns and
villages of international repute as
winter sport centres. Nearly every-
where are natural sites for skiing,
s n o w s h o el ng and tobogganin!,.
Covered rinks for hockey, skating,
and curling are found in cities, towns
and many smaller centres, while
open-air rinks are legion. Carnival
feats, including honepiels, toboggan
racing, hockey matches, figure skat-
ing competitions, ski-jumping con-
tests, snowshoe processions, and
firework displays, add greatly to the
enjoyment of a Canadian winter
vacation.

DISCOVERY OF DYNAMITE
The discovery of dynamite stands
pre-eminent in the roll of great in
ventiane, ;Like the steam engine and
electricity, it has been of incalculable
service to mankind. 'Without dyna-
mite the astonishing progress of rite
last hall century in mining, railway
tuner road building, in electric power
and irrigation projects, and in many
basic industries, could never have
been accomplished, for it is one of
the greatest 'forces ever created by
man to overcome the obstacles of
nature, and to 'force her to yield up
the treasures of the earth. Alfred
Nobel developed its uses by his
epoch-making achievements iu the
realms of high -explosives.
'Immanuel Nobel, the father of Al-
fred was born on March 24, WOO, at
Gavle, Sweden. II -le became well
known as an inventor, and, later, be-
coming interested in the tree- of ex-
plosives 'for ,alining purposes, lie
greatly ietluene6d the mind of that
set of his wile later was to become
the most prominent -figure in the ex-
plosive industry. At the age of 37 lie
moved to St. :Petersburg, where he
experimented with systems of land
and sea -mines fur the ;Russian Gov-
ernment.,1n 16519, after a series of
sl ,h
heavy losses and many .great disap-
pointmente returned to 'Sweden
and devoted his energies to further
experiments with explosive powders.
Alfred 113,erulhard Nobel, his third
sou, had been born at Stockholm on
October, 1116313, Nine years later he
accompanied his mother and brothels
to St. ',Petersburg, to make their home
with his 'father. Delicate health pre -
rented .Alfred .front attending school
regularly, and he was first taught by
his mother, and then by private
tutors. When he was 116 years of age
his father sent him to the United
States where he remained for about
four years, studying under the ,fam-
ous Swedish engineer, Erricsson.
Thereafter, he returned 4o St. Peters-
burg, and, although his interests
properly lay in mechanical engin-
eering, 'he gradually became more
curd more drawn to the chemistry of
explosives. It would appear that when
his 'father went back to ,Sweden, he
remainedtvibh h:is brothers in. St,
'Petersburg, .for early in May or Jame.
111602, in the presence of his brothers.
'Robert and Ludwig, he succeeded
for the first ,time in detonating nitro
glycerine, and on the d!4th of October,
166,3, 7111 years ago, he received his
first patent for this process.
IA few isolated attempts had been
made to ;develop high explosives, hart
they had met with little success, In
x11047, .an Italian, Ascania Sobrero, die -
covered that by Mixing glycerine
with nitric and sulphuric acids he
obtained a chemical:conrbiteatioo that.
we now know as ultra -glycerine, but
since he considered its industrial
nlenalfa�ctute far too claugerntrs, and
as no practical method of detonation
had 'been .found, it remained more or
'ess a scientific corio'sity,
!Alfred Nobel, who had commenc-
ed e'.uerinient With t nitro-glycerine
in !115!9, discovered that the reason
that it eras so-frdqucn'tly testable,
a g and
nitrorglyccrine which made it pos-
sible to commercialize the product
and stake itsmanufacture compara-
tively safe. Ile continued his experi-
ments ami in 111804 patented a method
of firing it by means of a copper de-
tonator containing fe iniii ate -of mer-
cury, revealing its great possibilities
as a blastiug_explosive. This method
of detonating nitro-glycerine should
1>e ranked -athe most intportnnt de-
velopment in the history of blasting
explosives, as it demonstrated for the
lirst time that a new explosive had
been evolved which could be applied
to alining and quarry- work,
With his father, he ,established a
laboratory for the manufacture of this
powerful explosive force, and com-
menced to dement trate its efficiency
on a comparatively large scale, On
September 3, 11364, a calamitous ex-
plosion occurred, which caused the
loss of live lives, one o1 which was
Emile, Alfred's younger brother. This
disaster seriously impaired his fath-
er'; health and, in addition, financial
difficulties threatened to stop the
work. ,But with indomitable faith and
courage Nobel persisted in hie efforts
and, finally, with the assistance of a
certain Swedish millionaire the Nitro-
lliycerine Company was 'formed in
the autumn of 1166'5. This company
commenced to manufacture the note
explosive on a pontoon anchored on
Mater Lake, a •few miles from Stock-
hnlan, 'In the meantime a site was
procured and the first factory for the
manufacture of nitro-glycerine was
erected at \Winterwik, near Stock-
holm, and production was commen-
ced in March, 11615
(While he helped to organize this
'factory, 'Nobel did not take much in-
terest in the actual work of manufac-
ture for the busied himself in patent-
ing. his inventions, setting up factor-
ies and continuing his experiments
with the special object of endeavour-
ing to make a new explosive less dan-
gerous to transport and handle, and
so increase Its_ commercial possibilit-
ies. The situation bristled with prob-
!ene. (Leakage in containers during
transit frequently occurred, a11(1 after
a number of devastating explosions
had occurred in different parts of the
world, many 'governments prohibited
its use entirely. Nobel found at last
.that by absorbing nitro-glycerine in
K ieselgultr, or fuller's earth, the re-
sultant tease could he easily handled
and packed into cartridges. This ma-
terial which he called dynamite, was
less sensitive to shock than atnabsonb-
ed nitro-gly'aerine, while it could he
readily exploded by the detonators or
blasting caps which be had t ket'ious-
1y developed.
Dynamite gave a great '!Iapetus to
mining and construction, and, within
ten years of the invention cif Nobel's
dynamite, the demand had become ,so
great that 'II5 factories .had been erect-
ed for its manufacture 'through'otit
the world.
