I. VOUNCxELEPHANT
DISCIPL NED RY MOTHi=R
In a recent article it is stated that
elephants are amazingly like human
beings In the way they discipline their
young. In proofit tells an amusing
incident seen by a French traveller
in an extensive lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants were
faithfully at work the youngsters
played about the yard. The elephant
that attracted the traveller's particular
attention was hauling, in her chain
harness, huge tree trunks from the
bank of the river. She hud a heavy
load, a fact that her °Veining did not
realize. Bent on ',toying a prairk, he
wound his little trunk about one of
the chain traces and pulled back with
all his strength,'
Conscious of the suddenly increased
weight, the mother stopped and looked
around. She. saw the youngster and
shook her head.•solomnly, but paying
no further heed to his teasing, bent
again to her work. Meauwhile the
little rascal with his mischievous
trunk hacl loosened the ring that fast-
ened the traces to the load.
While the mother was straining to
set her burden in motion again, her
rascally son pulled with all his might
against her, and pulled so sturdily
that she was quite unaware that she
had been disconnected from her load.
Then, suddenly, the youngster let go.
Naturally enough, the mother was
thrown to her knees and her driver
hurled in a wide circle from her back.
The culprit sought a huge wood -pile
that seemed to offer him at least a
temporary protection. His mother,
However, was soon in pursuit, and he
had to flee. Round and round the
wood -pile he dodged, but his mother,
with her iron harness clanging noisily
behind her, •kept ease at his heels.
Although the little one's greater
agility gained some space for him at
the corners, his mother eventually
.overtook him. The first blow of her
trunk drew from hint a bawl of pain.
At the second he sank, quite humbled,
to his knees; end then he endured
without a murmur, although with
many tears, a sound thrashing. L'inal-
ly the mother let him up. With tears
still streaming and with drooping
trunk he took his disconsolate way out
of the yard.
The little fellow had won the com-
plete sympathy of the observer. Cott
sequently he was overjoyed to witness,
during the noon hour a touching re-
conciliation. The .mother did all :she
could to • comfort the penitent little
sinner; she caressed him with' her
trunk, cuddled hilt up against her,
and looked at him as if to say "You
still have a mother who loves you."
WONDERS OF A
FAMOUS FOUNTAIN
After night has set in upon the
Schwarzenbergplatz in picturesque
Vienna, hundreds of enthusiastic tour-
ists were wont to throng about the
place to hear a well trained outdoor
band peal forth strains of classic
music and to gaze upon the wonders
of its glorious fountain,'
Before the palace of Prince Swarz-
enberg is the celebrated "lumineuse"
fountain, lighted by twenty-seven hid -
:len reflectors, containing a total power
of 270 million candles. The bowl is
tremendous in size and sprays of
water ascend in every color and shade
imaginable, built within each other in
circular form. The outer part, for
example, will be drimson red, while
the extreme inner centre sends forth
a brilliant ray of gold, and each few
seconds the former changes to a
fainter tint, going gradually from the
original hue to garnet; ruby, and last-
ly, light red. Meanwhile, with the
,gold section running into bronze and
yellow, a sudden outburst of dark
green emerges from another spot;
blending its spray to an apple, olive,
and finally nile shade, with the beauti-
ful contrast of a deep blue at its side,
this also changing from navy to its
more delicate colors.
Little springlets of quickly revert-
ible brown, pink and orange play to-
gether, and link over each other,
dropping back into the large pool in
an entirely different tone, •namely,
violet, Immediately on top of this,
heliotrope and pale lavender bounce
up, and so they go on, always illumin-
ating the tiny drops differently upon
their descent.
With all these marvellous interplays
of every existing hue, perhaps • the
greatest splendor of the scene lies in
the fact that each radiance of dew
takes turns at shooting up the high-
est, and often one must cast his
glance to a considerable height when
gazing upon the tallest little bubble.

A MOTHER'S TRIALS
Care of Home and Children Of-
' ten Causes a Breakdown..
The woman at home, deep in house-
hold duties and the. cares of mother-
hood, needs occasional help to keep
her in good health, The delnands up-
on a mother's health are many and
severe. 'Iter own health trials and
her children's welfare exact heavy
toils, wletie hurried meals, broken rest
and much indoor living, tend to weak-
en her constitution. No wonder that
the woman at home is often indisposed
through weakness, Headaches, back-
aches and nervousness. Too many
women have grown to accept these
visitations as a part of the lot of
motherhood. But many and varied as
her health troubles are, the cause is
simple and the• cure at hand. When
well, it is the woman's good blood that
keeps her well; when ill she must
make her blood rich to renew her
health. The nursing mother more
than any other woman in the world
needs rich blood and plenty of it.
There is one always unfailing way to
get this good blood so necessary to
perfect health, and that is through the
use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These
pills make new blood abundantly, and
through their use thousands of weak,
ailing wives and mothers have been
made bright, cheerful and strong. if
you are ailing, easily tired, or depress-
ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and
your family to give Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pills a fair trial. What this
medicine has clone for others it will
surely do for you.
Chinese Medicine.
Dried frogs and asbestos are com-
mon ingredients in the "order" which
the Chinese doctor prescribes for his
patient. For the sake of variety he
may include in the prescription any of
the following for which the patient
perhatrs inay express a preference:
Scorpions, rhinoceros skins, wood
shavings, flies, crushed pebbles,
moths, centipedes, toads, lizards, cater-
pillars, powdered snakes or wasps.

TWO MARVELLOUS
VOYAGES
The growing light of the autumn
Morning greying the .eastera sky
showed to scared watchers on the,
beach. three strange ships that hacl,
apparently, sprung from nowhere dur-
ing the night, And the watchers on
the beach were scared, too, for though
this was the year 1492, not one of
them had ever seen a ,ship before in
his or her life.
Then stranger things commenced to
happen. Something dropped, from one
of the ships—caravels, their crews
called them—and into it stepped men.
Then it commenced to row ashore.
This the watchers understood,.for they
used small boats themselves. Slowly
it made its way towards the tiny is-
let standing like an outpost of the
New World, a tall; gaunt man, verging.'
on middle age and dressed richly in
scarlet, standing in its bow, with a
gold -bedecked flag dropping from its
staff in his hand. '
The boat touched land, and the tall
man, in an ecstasy of joy, with his
great eyes glinting with pride, flung
iliinself to., the sand. Presently he
kissed the dry ground; then, with
tears of sleep emotion rolling down,
his cheeks, drew his sword, raised his
flag, and proclaimed that he annexed
the land as part of the dominions of
his Majesty Fernando, King of Spain.
After a Perilous Voyage.
He was Christopher Columbus, the
doyen of all Transatlantic voyagers,
a dour personage, who, during his for-
ty -and -one years, had "undergone
trials not a few."
Behind him lay a voyage of seventy
days, wherein he had seen no lance. or

Use sea. IIis high -bowed and high-
sterned caravel, Sancta Maria, driven
by snowy sails with a scarlet cross
emblazoned' on them, had carried him
at a slow 'eight knots across the hith-
erto uncharted waters, the sport of -
the tides, dependent upon Nature's
winds for her propulsion in the right
direction.
Columbus' crews were unwilling ex-
plorers. It is on record that some
were felons brought from prisons to
make up the companies of the three -
ships. A few crude navigation instru-
ments and the sun and stars were all
his aids in the keeping of a due -west

An Exception in Daylight Saving
The daylight saving laws effective
in many countries have never been
placed in operation in the Panama
Canal one. This is for the reason
that there is very- little seasonal
change in the time of sunrise and sun-
set for this latitude (approximately 9
degrees north). ,
The earliest sunrises, occuring in
May and June, are approximately 6
o'clock, and latest, in January and
February, about 6.35. The earliest
sunsets, in November, occur at about
5.50, and. the latest, in June and July,
at approximately 6.40. The usual
working )lours in the Canal Zone be-
ing from 7 in the morning until 5 in
the afternoon, the morning margin of
daylight before work varies from
twenty minutes to one hour. The
evening period of light between 5
o'clock and the beginning of twilight
(sunset) varies from fifty minutes to
one hour and thirty-five minutes. To
advance the time one hour would
throw the 7 a.m. workers into the twi-
light period and tend to reduce rather
than increase their hours of daylight
labor. The morning twilight period
is about half an hour the year round,
the evening twilight slightly longer.
In the• latitude of Southern Ontario,
sunrise varies from about 4.20 a.m. In
June to 7.35 the first part of January,
or three hours and a quarter, as com-
pared with a variation of thirty-five
minutes through the year in the Canal
Zone. Sunset varies from about 4.25
p.m. 111 December to 7.40 in June 'and
July, three hours and a quarter, as
compared with the fifty niisfutes varia-
tion in the Canal Zone between ear-
liest and latest sunset. The twilight
period is about the sante. Daylight
hours are about eight hours and fifty-
five minutes at the least in southern
Ontario, and approximately fifteen
hours and twenty minutes at the
most. In the Canal Zone the hours
of daylight range from approximately
eleven hours and thirty-five minutes
to twelve hours and thirty-five min-
utes.
The office of the chief hydrographer
of the -Canal Zone has recently fur-
nished the police stations with charts
showing the daylight, twilight and
darkness periods through the mouths.
They are of use for occasional refer-
ence in testimony as to the degree Of
light existing at the time under in-
vestigation, as in traffic accidents, or
where the possibility of having wit-
nessed an occu.1 once is questionable
by reason of the degree of light at
the time. The street lighting sche-
dale is also to be arranged by the
dharts.

„ ' The Pioneer of the Airway.
But to -day school children learn that
Christopher C'ol'imbus discovered
America on October 112th., 1492, and
across the path blazoned by Sancta
Maria and her two frail consorts
countless r'hips come and go with the
commerce and travellers of the Old
and the New Worlds.
The grey light of a wind -driven sky
almost hid the cigar -shaped hull of the
great ship that had suddenly sailed
into the purview of the thousands
of eager eyes watching for her advent.
Steam -whistles hooted and syrens
yelled, while the waiting crowds sent
up cheer after cheer to welcome, this
Pioneer of aerial navigation.
Then the great ship of the air
stormed, and hovered at a height of
two hundred feet above the huge field
which had been specially macre ready
for.ler reception. Suddenly a small
speck detached itself from one of the
microscopic carriages slung under her
belly, and fell perhaps twenty feet
like a stone.
Then it seemed to stop, and a para-
chute opened out, revealing to the as-
tounded watchers a British officer des-
cending to the ground to supervise
the berthing of his Britannic Majesty's
Airship R-34.
This pioneer from the clouds carried
a flag; nor could lie annex land in the
name of the sovereign to whom he
owed allegiance. He did not kiss the
earth, though he was unfeignedly glad
to_ feel it beneath his feet, nor diel he
,cry with joy. Instead, he set about
seeing that the specially -trained moor-
ing parties of American aviation me-
chanies made R -34's anchors properly
fast to her moorings.
Then the great airship commenced
to sink lower and lower till her belly
almost touched the ground, and from
her gondolas there stepped less than
a score of hien.
With Every Scientific Aid.
Behind R-34 lay a voyage of 3,130
miles, performed in 103 hours and 12
minutes, or just over four and a half
days. The great airship, 675 ft. long,
had fought baffling gales and atmos-
pheric storms, and nosed through
fogs at an average speed of nearly
thirty knots per hour, despite the fact
n a.t fuer, petrol supplies were growing
lir
afiy short. Never had she been
the sport of the winds, nor liad she
been compelled to grope her way, for
skilled navigators, armed with ultra
scientific instruments, had guided her
on the shortest route across the track-
less wastes of air.
Her crew were all volunteers—in-
deed; one of them was so eager to
make the passage that he stowed hini-
sef away. Never was R-34 for a mo-
ment unable to establish communi-
cation with her starting point and des-
tination, for at intervals her wireless
told of her progress, and even sum-
moned aid to stand ey her when her
fuel threatened to give out.
And in less than a minute after she
had • touched ground, wireless tele-
graphy told the whole world of her
feat. And hundreds of cinema camer-
as filmed her as she hovered and
landed, and thousands of people the
same night witnessed in photographs
the thrilling scene.
And in the days to come the school
children will be taught that Airship
R-34 made the first voyage from Great
Britain to America, and reached New
York on July 6th, 1919.
Sancta Maria, under Columbus' or-
ders, opened up the ocean pathways
to and from America; R-34, com-
manded by Major Scott, R.A.F., has
opened up the aerial tracks, and sure-
ly it is not too much to prophesy that
airships will, in the not -far -distant
future, be as numerous in the air
above as surface ships are on the
broad bosons of the Atlantic.

Lost Arms Without Pain.
Our story of a man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which he did not hear must
seem incredible to many people. Here
is something like an analogy.
King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rustem Pasha,. who
had had half his right hand and part
of his arm torn off by a bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow mulched
away by_a tiger.
The two mien compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time, They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug-
gists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, 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-
out pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin -
in;; tissue.
This discovery will prevent those
sands of deaths annually from lock
jaw and infection heretofore resulting
from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns.
