The Herald, 1910-07-08, Page 6" Bin -Pg"" AND KING. e�. How They Talked Over the Boy Scout Movement, London Daily Mail: Major-General Sir B. S. Baden-Powell, speaking at King's Lynn on the Boy Scout movement, said: It was only the day before he died that King Edward sent for me to Back- inghamr Palace to hall over the scheme for the review of the Boy Scouts at Windsor which he had ordered. He en- tered into the details most fully. He was interested in the movement, and eaw'its aim almost before anybody else in the land saw it. At Balmoral last year King Edward took me aside and talked to me for an hour, having evidently studied the whole thing, and being •acouainted with its details. He was immensely interested. When he knew 1"'was about to leave the Army—I do not know how he found out, but he was almost the first person to know about it—he sent for me and said: "I hope it is, not true." When I explained that I could not do two works he said, "You are quite eight." If he had only lived I am perfectly cer- tain he would have done very groa t things to help us on our way. I have not yet approached our new King, but I am perfectly sure—because he also has spoken to me about it—that he will con- tinue the interest that his royal father took in our movement.

A new rat and rabbit exterminator is being tested out in India and Australia. It consists of an outer and inner metal shell, like one small egg in a larger one. In the outer shell is sulphruic acid, in the inner metal egg is dry cyanide of potash. The outer shell is filled with the acid and placed in the rat hole oz barrow, and all rat holes are tightly sealed. After an hour or so the acid eats into the cyanide and turns loose a lot of most deadly prussi6 acid gas. eo8' , EJiinard's Liniment Lumberman's Friend. ' The Professor Knew. An absent-minded German professor at- tached to a university in Washington dis- covered the other day that be had left his umbrella somewhere. As he had visited three stores, •he thought it must be In one of them, so he started back and galled at all three in turn. "No umbrella has been found here," the Professor was told in the first store. The German shrugged his shoulders and •went out. At the next store tate same response was made; whereupon the professor shrugged his shoulders once more, and went to the third establishment. There he found his umbrella awaiting him.

Throughout the mountain districts of the south the mail is carried on horse- back. The pouch is about five feet long, divided in two sections and opens in the middle. Half the mail is put in each side of the sack and in this way it is carried on the horse's back. In the rough mountain sections the work is anything but easy. Where there are no roads it is hard work, riding through storms, fording streams, climb- ing steep and rocky trails with almost perpendicular cliffs above and below. One misstep means death to horse and rider on the rocks below. Tho postmaster is notified to have the mail ready by the tooting of the horn which every mail carrier carries.

"Do over the telephone as you would face to face,- The fact that a line of wire and two shining instruments sep- arate you from the persons with whom you are talking takes none of the sting out of the unkind words. "Yes, . indeed, always remember that a soft answer turneth away wrath. If it should happen occasionally that you are cut off in the middle Of a conver- sation, or you can not hear distinctly or at all, or somebody is reviewing the world's social history while holding the wire, do not take it out on the unfor- tunate person with whom you are at tempting to converse. Try and contain ,yourself, keep cool, patient and sweet, be it ever so painful. A quiet demeanor and self-abnegation saves wear and tear on the nerves as well as on the proper- ty of the telephone company.

It took just ten hours all told to complete the structure ready for oc- cupancy. One hundred and ninety men, -members of the congregation, started to work at eight o'clock on the morning of May 30, and at six o'clock the even- ing chimes on other churches throughout town were rung to announce the com- pletion of the building. The. Rev. Mr. Turner, pastor of the church, conducted memorial services in the church at n', ;ht. The material for the building was given by various concerns in Peoria andother cities. --The Christian Herald. -0 e m It is estimated that seven thous- and children die weekly in New York from bowel complaints most- ly caused by the house fly.

Congressman Bennett, of New York City, states that the coming report of the Inimigration Commission will startle the world with its figures on the killing of workmen in American factories, and especially among workers in factories which are unorganized and unable of force measures of protection. Rev. Charles H. Stelzle quotes' figures show- ing that 30,000 industrial workers are killed every year; that the railroads alone kill 12,000 and injure 120,000 more. He says the death rate among the poor is ].00 per cent. greater than among the rich, and that infant mortal- ity in the laboring class is mere than one-tbird greater than among the em- ploying class. ---The Christian Herald.

Electric Steam Shovels. The advantages of an electrical shovel over a steam shovel have recently been portrayed, showing that wherever elee- tricity is available at moderate rates, the electric shovel is much to be pre- ferred. One of the groat objections to 'the steam shovel, says the Scientific American, is the feet that the expenses of a fireman must be paid, and the fuel, agl well as the water, have frequently to tail carted for a very long distance. Steam must be kept up continuously,. despite ,all delays in operating the shovel, while for the electric shovel•'the same arguments apply as are made in behalf of electric drive in machine shops, namely, that when • the shovel is idle there is noconsumption of power, yet the power is reedy for instant use wheix- cver'it :is needed.

Forecasts of Thunderstorms and Hail Violent Drops in Temperature. Cloudy weather forecasts made by Dr. A. de Quervain, of Zurich, are of the ut- most scientific and practical import- ance. :lis deductions are based on the familiar cumulus cloud of warm sum- mer days. • When reaching heights of six or seven miles it becomes a trundle cloud. The high. floating top assuines the shape of a fleecy ice needle cloud and extends sideways in anvil shape. The ordinary cumulus cloud undergoes similar trans- formation at a level of three to four miles, and so does not lead to the for- mation of thunder clouds, but merely to the production of fleecy clouds. This sort of cloud Can be regarded as a presage of good weather. The veil - shaped hooded clouds have not been suf- ficiently explained. Often they encom- pass the top of a quickly rising cumulus cloud and until recently were thought to be instrumental in the production of hail. They are always found to 'be in- timately connected with existing fleecy clouds, and on the other hand presage bad weather, occurring previous to thunderstorms. Even such relibale presages of thun- derstorms are the remarkably delicate variety of fleecy clouds which are most- ly found floating about four miles high. On a darker layer they are superposed, delicate white heads. These lofty curly heads, generally in the morning, safer* predict a thunderstorm within twenty- four hours. By balloon ascents it was found that the occurrence of these clouds coincides with a violent drop in the temperature.—Chicago Tribune. More Heat in Soft Woods. Contrary to the widespread belief that hard woods give more heat in burning than soft varieties, the scientists at Washington was contending that the greatest heating power is possessed. by the wood of the linden tree, which is very soft. Fir stands next to linden and almost equal to it. Then comes pine, hardly inferior to fir and linden, while hard oak possesses 8 per cent. less heating capacity than linden, and red beech 10 per cent. less,—Fur N ews. Minard's Liniment Co., Limited.

One cannot be long in any hotel oe restaurant in Canada ' without seeing halibut on the bill of fair. In this re- spect it assumes the position of a na- tional dish. It is there on Christmas Day and again on Midsummer Day, and there are not many days between these two dates when halibut finds no place on the menu. So plentiful is halibut in the waters of the west coast of Vancouver Island that Mr, Ernest McGaffey on one ocasion watched a few Indians with their crude fishing arrangements catch 21,000 pounds in Clayoquot Sound in one day. When it is remembered that a halibut sometimes weighs as much as 300 pounds perhaps this achievement will lose• a tiny part of its glory.—From Can. `oda. Such a koro to Dress.

K. C. There is another Chesteron in the field, who appears to be anxious to turn the world upside down, with his pen for a lever, as the more distinguished bearer of the name. Cecil Chesterton is, in point of fact, the younger brothor of the redoubtable "G. K. 0." whom he resembles in features, though not in stature. The younger Chesterton, in addition to being an able writer, is a redhot So- cialist, and in his new book, "Party and People," which Alston Rivers is about to publish, he will probably reveal a eapacity for treading on the toes of the tiolitically and socially orthodox as iiounced as that of his ."big brother" himself.—The Bookseller. ••.o Minard's Liniment used by Physicians LITTLE 11011a.)
