Shortage
4...._______________L—__9
Colcl weather came before my beav
erneighbors had laid in their food
supplies for the winter, says a na-
tnraliit. A forest fire drove then out
of their old home, and they selected
a liew site on i1 elentet not far from
my cabin. Along the stream was a
ragged growth of quaffing aspens. The
beavers built a house of stinks; sod
and lime, anti were wonting on a dant
when a trapper came into the region.
lie broke the dam three or four times.
tVhe.n he !finally left, autumn was half
gone the limn that was to Snake the
rond deep enough to prevent the
water from freezing to the bottom was
ur.liniehej, and no food had been
stored.
Late in October I visited the new
wildetness home. One ere* of log-
gers were cutting aspens:They had
cleared a trailveay oto drag the wood
through to the pond. The beavers
had not finished their harvesting
when a heavy tall of snow came, and.
they were compelled to turn their at-
tention to a, patch of aspens that was,
only about sixty feet from the pond
but was separated'ft•oin it by a thick
belt of pines and a confusion of fallen
spruce logs,
Tracks in the snow showed that
during one night five beavers had
wallowed out to the aspens and had
.felledand dragged several trees to
the pond; but wolves had pounced
on one of them while he was at work,
and had overtaken and killed another
inthe deep snow. The wolves seemed
to realize the distress of the beavers,
and lurked about to seize the bungee -
driven animals. At that point in the
struggle the beavers decided to build
a tunnel. Beginning at the bottom of
the pond near the shore, they dug
outward toward the aspen grove. For
fifteen feet that subway ran about
two feet under the surface, then it in-
d:lied upward, and came out under a
pine tree erose to the aspens. They
built a dragway from the end of the
tunnel to the aspens and felled a num-
ber And worked them through the
Memel to the pond.
At last cold, ice, snow and fear of
enemies completely stopped the
beavers' harvest. Their food supply,
as .seen thriugh the clear ice, was
less than one half the normal quantity
and they began to burrow in the pond
for roots and bulbs. Again the cold
prevented their work, for the low
water froze to the bottom and, shut
them off. They were not beaten, how-
ever. They dug a canal from their
house to the heart of the root area,
and kept it open. When the roots
gave out, they had to leave the pond
or starve. They tried to :new up
'through the ice, and newly succeed-
ed; but they discovered unfrozen
earth under the dam and tunneled
out to the channel of the stream.
Tracks of six muddy -footed beavers
on the snow at the outer end of the'
completed tunnel told the number
that survived that cold winter. They
lived in holes along the bank of the
stream until waren weather, when
they drifted away: ' Late the next
autumn six' beavers carte back to the
pond and put it in shape for winter.
C
DEEP SEA FISHERMEN
ARE VERY SUPERSTITIOUS
All seafaring men are credited with
being superstitious, but none Is so
completely under this influence as the
old deep-sea fisherman, • He believes
in "signs" and omens of all kinds.
Nothing would induce -a skipper of the
old school to sail on a Friday. Rumor
bas it, says a welter in the "Railway
and Travel Monthly," that one intrepid
unbeliever who dared to leave the
docks at Grimsby on a Good Friday
was booted through the lock -gates by
the scandalized populace. If a man's
hat blew overboard while leaving a
port, many slippers would turn back
and delay sailing until the next day,
It was an omen that one of the crew
would be lost during the trip. This
sign, however, became discredited, as
wily deck hands, desirous of another
day ashore with their wives and fami-
lies, contracted the habit of going
aloft and assisting the wind to foretell
disaster.

"You are certainly to blame for hav-
ing fallen asleep" said the Mayor,
"but Jizo is equally to blame, for' he
is a god hound to protect everyone
who trusts him and this time he has
betrayed you. Even though Jizo is a
Buddha, I cannot pardon. him for his,
neglect of duty. I will have him ar-
rested and brought before me for
trial."
So 0-oka gave.imtnediate orders to
his•court officers to go and arrest Jizo.
of Yokogawa Street, and bring him
before the Mayor's seat for trial.
Three of the officers departed on their
mission. They first bound the arme
of the stone god with coils' of rope;
then they tried to lift him from his
firm pedestal into a cant. A great
crowd assembled before the Jizo, at-
tracted by the unusual behavior of
the court ofliaers. When they Were
told that Jizo must go before the
Mayor for trial, the citizens of Yoko -
gave Street and the neighborhood of
Honjo marveled. .
The task of unseating the god was
too much for the three officers, and
/they sought aid of those standing
about. They promised that in return
for assistance they would admit all
volunteer workers into the courtroom
to witness the extraordinary trial.
Hundreds were spurred by curiosity
to lend a hand, and, when the stone
god went through thestreets g g strapped
to a cart like any offender the crowd
grew. It filled thegreat hall of justice'
when Jizo was lifted in and propped
up before the platform upon which sat
the Mayor.. 0-olta addressed the god
in stern terms:—
"You are a negligent tool, 0 Jizo!"
he exclain d in a voice loud enough
for all to lar. "You are supposed; to.
protect', everyone who believes in you
and who renders tribute, yet this
trusting porter here made a prayer to
YOU, then fell asleep at your very Leet,
and lie was robbed while , Ile slept,
You stand accused of being an 'ac-
corilplice in this robbery. Have you
anything to say for yourself before I
pass sentence?''
Mayor `O-oka waited tar a few mo-
ments as if expecting the stony lips
of Jizo to open in reply, but when no
answer was returned by the god he
passed sentence immediately.
"Since you' do not defend yoiifself
1 consider 'that you are guilty," said
His Honor, "and I shall imprison you."
At this remarkable spectacle of a
Mayor passing sentence upon a stone
god there was a titter oe laughter,
O-oka thundered in a voice' of brass:---•
"'Who are all these people standing
about here?" he inquired of his court
officers. "Are they acconiplieee of
Jizo or only plain thieves? They
think t11ie' court is 'a penny show and
they laugh at the court's orders.
Shut all the gates at once."
The frightened attendants hastened
tp shut the gates ot the court -room.
Then Mayor O-olca adjudged every
man in the great `Crowd in contemlit
of court and fined each of thein one
tan (a kimono Length) of cotton cloth.
The hundreds thus suddenly found hi
contempt were happy that their pun=
ishment had been so light at least,
and under bonds they hurried to their
homes to being back the cloth fine.
Before the day was done 700 pieces
of cotton cloth lead been presented be-
fore the Mayor's court, the name of
each culprit being set down upon the
tan. of cotton cloth' which he present-
ed.
'Before he would allow the 700 to go,
however, 0=oka retired with the por-
ter who had been robbed to an inner
chamber and he asked the porter to
look over the 700. pieces of cloth and
see if he could identify any of them
as having been once fn' the: pack he.
had carried. Since every - manufac-
turer of cotton cloth in Yedo always
marked the selvage of each strip with
a little red, trade -nark stamp the por-
ter•searohed the edges of many stripes
of cloth for a stamp similar 'to that,
borne upon the cloth of which he had
been robbed. He found that two of
the pieces of cloth brought to pay the
Mayor's fine bore the stamp of his
plundered pack. Instantly Mayor
O-oka ordered the arrest of the two
Hien who had brought this cloth; they
confessed'to the robbery, and 'all the
cloth they had taken from the sleep-
ing porter's pack was restored to him.
All the other pieces of cloth, taken
in toll by the Mayor, were restored to
their owners, and all but the two
guilty members of the crowd which
had attended the trial of Jizo were re-
leased. Then Jizo, the stone god, was
put on a cart, wreathed with the ever-
green pine and the bamboo, symbols
of long life and prosperity, and he was
carried back to his pedestal in Yoko-
gawaStreet at thehes
w head of a triumph -
'al nl
'al procession. Jizo had vindicated
himself, and Mayor O-olca the wise sat
more firmly than ever in his seat of
power.
WHERE THE ICEBERGS
ARE HATCHED.
If one looks at an ordinary map, one
is surprised to find that Greenland is
considerably bigger than South Amori'
ea. Which illustrates the distortion
of the Mercator projection, inasmuch
as South America Is actually about
six tinges the size of Greenland.
All the same, Greenland is the big-
gest island in the world, and once up-
on a time it must have been a pleasant
place to live in. Plant fossils found
there prove that anciently it hall a
tropical climate.
But it must have been a very long
time ago, for to -day nearly the whole
of Greenland is covered by an ice
sheet with an average thickness of
1,000 feet. From a mountain range
two miles high most of the great is-
land slopes downward and weseavard
toward Bailin Bay and Davis Strait,
and so the ice sheet is continually
moving in that direction.
Off the west coast are numerous is-
lands and, as the ice sheet forces its
way between.them, it is ripped to.
pieces. Huge fragments drop off,
forming what we call icebergs, and
aro set afloat in the tea,
What happens to an individual ice-
berg after that depends upon accident-
al circumstances. It may run ashore
on Baffin Island (tire 'west side of
Davis Strait) or on the coast of Lab-
rador, further south." It it escapes
this fate, its passage southward
through the strait will be very slow,
because it must plow its way through
field ice many feet thick.
The lucky iceberg is one that man-
ages to keep in the main channel and
is carried southward by the Labrador
current into the north Atlantic. Once
arrived in that region of open sea it
may drift about for many months be-
fore going to pieces. Large bergs
have on occasions got as far as the
Azores. '
A sizeable berg may have nearly
vertical walls 100 feet high, with pin-
nacles towering to twice that eleva-
tion. Often these floating mountains
of ice have very fantastic shapes. It
is not all safe for a ship to go near
one, for huge fragments sometimes
fall off, and it is no uncommon thing
for an iceberg suddenly to turn up-
side down. The period of danger
from icebergs is .April, May and June.

WE ARE IN LUCK
THAT AIR IS FREE.
When the Steel Trust was organized
Andrew Carnegie remarked that the
common stock was not oven water;
it was "just air." •
This sane "air" has become worth
something since then. IC you want
any of it, you must pay for it at the
rate of 8113 a share.
Ordinary air, thank goodness! bas
not gone up in price. It is about the
only thing that has not done so. Even
the automobile garages advertise
"free air."
Trois is really very fortunate; be-
cause we need air not only to breathe,
but also for fuel. Wo keep the house
warm in winter, and the range going,
1by burning air.
You thought it was coal? Well,
that is necessary also, but the coal
would be of no use as fuel unless yon
had air to burn with it.
You can't burn one thing. Burning,
in kitchen range or furnace, means
the conning together of the oxygen of
the. air and the carbon of the coal.
They effect a chemical combination.
The air is just as necessary to the
process ot combustion as the coal.
Our attenton is fixed upon coal as the
fuel for the soli reason that eve have
to pay for it, If coal were free and.
Rif cost money, we should look at the
Matter from an opposite point of view.
Everything else is taxed nowadays.
Suppose the government were to take
a notion to put a'tax on air, placing
an air -meter in each dwelling. Would
be horrible?
not that i
There has long been a tax on fresh
air in Germany: It is called a "win-
dow tax," being assessed according to
the number of windows' with which a
house is provided, The result is that
people economize on windows, .educ-
ing the number to a minimum, and
their allowance of fresh air is there-
by cut down.
Air is much heavier stuff than is
commonly imagined, Thirteen cubic
feet of it weigh a pound. But It is
lucky we are not obliged to store it,
like cool, for it would take up a lot
Of room. One ton (2,000 pounds) of
air will fill a bin thirty feet long,
thirty feet wide and thirty feet High.
SNAKE KILLERS OF FRANCE.
Obtain Five Cents Apiece For the
Reptiles They Destroy.,.
In Prance there is a profession un-
recognized in our own country. It is
that of the snake killer.
France is much infested by two
Species of dangerous serpents—vipers
and adders. "It is these that are es-
pecially sought by the snake hunters.
He wears leather leggings for pro-
tection against bites, and the instru-
ments of his craft are of the sitiiplest.
The latter consist most importantly
of two sticks, one of which is Peaked;
Rocks warmed up by the sun, sandy'
planes in wooded areas, muddy banke
of ponds --such are the places most
likely to be haunted by the reptilian
game.
Descrying his prey, the hunter ap-
proaches noiselessly. When within
range, he strikes the 'snake with the
stick he holds` in his right hand, In-
stantly thereupon he pins it down with
the other stick, which is forked.
Quickness is the prime essential to
success in this kind of chase, Vipers
and adders are swift of movementand
ready to take alarm. But once pinned
to the ground the creature 15 readily
decapitated with a sharp knife.
The snake bunters are called "vi

Doctor Calmette, of France, has pro-
duced a serum called "antiviperine„”
which is a sure remedy for viper bites
and adder bites. It has already saved
many lives. The method of its utiliza-
tion is by hypodermic injection near
the wound made by the snake's tooth.

An Ode to Health.
()Health in itself makes life a per-
petual joy.
Nothing daunts, nothing over -awes,
nothing discourages, and nothing over-
powers the man and woman possessed
of health. •
Health means not only vigor and
energy of the body, but also clarity
and strength of mind, purity of body
and of soul.
The healthy person dominates life,
instead of allowing life to dominate'
him.
He scarcely thinks of his body as
consisting of parts, or as performing
separate functions, To him the body
is but one harmonious whole.
He is a unit, a being, a man; com-
plete, vigorous, perfect.
To such a man Work is joy. He re
garde obstacles as but opportunities
for testing his strength. He hardly
knows what weakness is. He never
experiences exhaustion, Merely to
grasp his hand is a pleasure. To gaze
into his eyes- is a joy. To hear his
voice is to feel a tlirii pass over one.
To peer into his mind serves as a
stimulus to higher achievements.
Health supplies the courage, the
aggressiveness in life. Without
health one is bankrupt, regardless ot
what his financial capacity
may
be
Tie becomes a cipher in the world of
real men and women.
If you have health, then, friends,
cherish it, guard it and treasure it as
you treasure life, for out of it are the
issues 'of life.

then put in the orebare white and
shake well. This makes a quarter pint
of the very best lemon skin whitener
and complexion beautifier known.
Massage this fragrant creetny lotion
daily into the face, nellk, arms and
hands and just see how freckles, tan,
sallowness, redness and roughness
disappear and how eh -tooth, soft and
clear the skin becomes. Yes! It is
harmless, and the beautiful resulte
will surprise you.

treezone,the ether discovery of a 'Cin-
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the
fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very'
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
one's feet of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You apply Just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with-

which dries when applied anil never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.

sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore resulting
from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns.
