THE USEF 1L TEA WAGON.
The tea wagon has many uses. A
rather novel use is that to which it
was put by a woman with a email

metal and was easily cleaned. She put
the baby's clean clothes on the lowers

to bathe the baby. The tea, wagon
was of such a height that she did not

"The Man of Perfect
Service."
From Serbia' comes an interesting
account of a popular hero who lives
in one of the country districts. He is
a peasant nained Marko, but he is
known far and wide as "The Man of
Perfect Service."
"With nine of his peasant comrades
he was detailed during the Great War
to do orderly work with a general and
his staff. It was the duty of Marko
and his companions to keep every-
thing in order about the general's
headquarters,
They had not been at work long be-
fore the general received loud com-
plaints of their slackness. He called
them before hint, "Brothers," he said,
"you are here to render service to my-
self and my -officers, Let it be done
joyously and perfectly, That is alt"
After the appeal they showed mark-
ed improvement. But before long the
Complaints. began again. One night
as Marko and the others were settling
to sleep the dap of their tent lifted,
and the general appeared. "Good-
night, brothers!" he said. "I !tope all
1s well with you,"
"Good ,night," was the gruff rejoind-
er. When the flap had fallen Marko
cried, "Brothers indeed! Who's he
calling brothers! Don't we do all the
work! What is he a general for, I'd
like to know? He's no better than the
rest of us."
The next morning when they awoke
they discovered to their astonishment
the officers' boots, brightly polished,
standing in a row Just inside the tent.
They hastened into the hall and found
the fire burning merrily and the place
looking cleaner than they had ever
seen it before! They rubbed their
eyes and spoke to one another of the
old fairy tales of the elves that came
to help the good housewife.
When the same thing occurred the
next morning they decided to set one
of their number to watch during the
night, Towards morning the sentinel
saw the general appear in the tent and
quietly arrange the officers' boots, all
perfectly polished, in a row, As soon
as. the general. had gone the man
aroused hia comrades and told them
the staggering news.
Presently Marko was summoned to
the general's presence; he guessed
that the general had overheard Ills
foolish words of complaint. "Marko,'
said the general, ;'did you ever hear of
Jesus Christ?" '
"Wiry, yes, sire!" was Marko's
amazed response.
"Then you remember the lesson Be
gave His disciples when He washed
their feet"
Marko's heart was suddenly filled
with shame,
"Marko," continued the officer, "I
am your general because a general is
supposed to be able to do any of the
duties of those under his charge as
well as much more. I have shown you
that I can do your work, but you must
not think that I' have not enjoyed do-
ing it!" His 'eyes twinkled . with de-
light. "In every perfect service there
is hidden a great treasure. Whenever
a man truly serves he finds God."
That was the beginning of a great
change for Marko and his friends.
There was never any more need of
complaint, and when the war was over
Marko returned to his own district to
begin there a new life of cervico. So
perfectly has he achieved it that many
have cause to think with undying
gratitude of "The Man of Perfect Ser-
vice."

C btaiiiiisg Accuracy in {
Measuring Canada.
The necessity for exact surveys in
order to properly develop the natural
resources of a country is everywhere
recognized and it is the aim of the dif-
ferent organizations entrusted with.
Canada's surveys to attain as near aa
Possible to absolute accuracy. Every
one. knows Ina general way that 111 a
geodetic surveyof`a continent or`coun-
try the surface is mathematically
covered by triangles, the trianglebe-
ing the figure into which every con-
ceivable outline can be divided. Every
one knows too that if a mathematician
is given the length of one side if a
triangle and the angles wbioh the
other sides nlalce with that line he can •
determine the length of the other two
sides exactly, and, consequently, the
position of the third angle. Since any •
number of triangles may be built up
'qn the first one, the need df knowing;
the exact length of the first line of all
will be apparent. This line is called
gthe roun"bad' sewiCh line" and is cctltuurflede ]Ingon the

• This Measure- eat of base,line
therefor r "-0 s is
e;,,yfa of the features of the
work o11"The Geodetic Survey of Cana-
da ,and' the latest advances In science
and improvements in instumon
is are
'employed to secure the best results.
Successful Devices,-
'
evices,' A level piece ofr
p airie presents
ideal conditions for running a base
line and where the line is 'run through
comparatively level wooded country
all the brush and trees are cleared
away and devices are adopted to pre.
vent error due to inequalities in the
surface of the ground. The greateatl
difficulty occurs in mountainous cp'un-
tries, and in Canada there has ;leen
successfully introduced a niethoesof
measuring a base line ln'winter over•
the frozen surface of a mountain lake..
Accuracy is attained by the exercise
of the greatest care in all parts of to
operation.. The standard of length of
the Geodetic Survey of Canada is a
metre bar made of nickel.', it is direct-
ly based on the International metre
bar graving beep standardized by the
National Physical Laboratory at Ted-
dington from the' National prototype
metre of England, one •of t110 bars re-
°saved from the International Geodetic
Conference held at Paris in 1878. The
greatest care is taken in.ohtaining the
lengths of the fifty -metre tapes used
in measuring base lines. The length
of alive -metre bar is first 'obtained
from that of 'the metre bar, both bars
being placed in a solution of melting'
ice at a temperature of 0 degrees Cen-
tigrade. The length of each field tape
is checked by reference at, regular in-
tervals to these standards.
Small Chance for Error.
The base line, for the purpose of
measurement, is generally divided in •
-
to kilometre lengths, (about live -
eighths of a mile). Posts are placed
at twenty-five metre intervals; larger
ones at the even fifty -metre Lengths,
and smaller ones .intermediately. A;
larger post than ordinary is placed at
the end of the kilometre stretches.
Where the base line passes over ra-
vines, creeks, or shallow lakes, it is
necessary to put up bridge work and
use longer posts to carry the line.,
Each kilometre section of thelineie'
measured four times, once in each di-
rection with each of two tapes.
The effort throughout is to have the
measurement •exaot and there is no
standard maximum allowance for or-
ror. At the same time it may be ex.
p101121011 to the general Public that to-
day error of measurement in base
lines does not exceed one-twenteth of
an inch per mile.
A Crocodile Report.
Running railways in India has cer-
tain drawbacks. Witness this report
that the traffic superintendent of the
Bengal Northwestern Railway at Son-
poor recently received from the native
station master at Koparla:
"Resident Engineer Mans! saw other
ay a crocodile here in front of the
talion borrow pit, which: contains
vater to a height of about ten feetand
s broad 40 feet; connected it is, be
orae now only with Koel River flood
}cater. Two small and one their moth
-
1, crocodile Ile in it.
"Last night one big crocodile cams
on the station line et north end of plat=
form and was lying. Pointsman' Kun-
I ja 1VIa11 was going for reception of
forty down that he narrowly escape of
its attack. Traffic inspector saw some
clays ago the crocodile injury to a kid,
but could not shoot, for it went under
tyle water.
"This is of course dangerous to pub-
lic passengers who remain at station
during night, unconsciously sleeping'
down on platform as well as to staff
and their family and children, Please
arrsnge!"
We hope that the matter has been
arranged by this tine, and that the
mother crocodile and her two babies
are not hitting on the platform, shed-
ding c roeotlile teens for the etation
master:
Not On the Spot.
Little Tommy hada sore toe, so his
mother thought this a good op-
portunity to make flim eat bis cereal.
"Tommy," she said, "if you exit your
o oatmeal, it will cure your"toe."
Sbortly'afterward Tommy came to
his mother with a very disgusted. air.'
