ODA TIES o +' LIFE AT EXTR$MN
.#ifriIDES/
'ime'recent expedition to Peru Mr.
Joseph Barcroft' of the University of
Cambridge did some exploring in the
higher Andes and made some inter-
esting discoveries, which are told in
the British Medical Journal.
At 12,000 feet cows gave milk; at
18,000 feet they gave little or none.
At 15,0po feet there were no cows.
At 11,000 feet fleas disappeared,
though lice remained as long as there
were human beings.
At these heights men have lived for
many generations, having become ac-
climatized to the rarefied ail. Many
of them Lived in chimneyless and
windowless houses; they had a pure-
ly communal system of government,
and some of their customs would
hardly appeal to more civilized rac-
es. When a native was very ill, for
instance, the date of his funeral was
fixed without reference to his cod
venience, and an official saw to it
that he was ready to beep the ap-
pointment!
It was remarkable what loads the
people were able to carry at these
altitudes. A boy of about thirteen
would carry from the interior of a
mine a burden of forty pounds, as-
cending a staircase with it from a
point 250 feet below, while a full
grown man would carry a hundred
pounds of metal, yet the European
was out of breath if he carried his
coat up a slight incline.

SEWING ROOM HINTS
Make a bag of strong net or other
cloth that can be seen through and
put the scraps left from sewing in
this. When it is necessary to find
the material to mend a dress it is
easily located.
Button, button, who's got the but-
ton? Is there a woman who doesn't
play that game every week after the
washing and ironing is done? Some
sewing on of buttons seems inevit-
able each week, but here are a few
suggestions to keep the number few.
On thin garments, run a strip of tape
down the button side, and sew but-
tons to this. Always use coarse
thread, put the knot on the right
side under the button, and fasten the
end of the thread securely with three
small back stitches before cutting off.
In using a wringer, take time to fold
the buttons inside the garment be-
fore wringing. It will not take so
much time to do that and keep the
button on, as to tear it off and have
it to sew on later. When you buy a
ready-to-wear garment, sew on all
the buttons before the garment is
worn.
REMEDIES FOR WARTS
Perhaps you have noticed a farm
boy stopping to put milkweed juice
on his bothersome warts on the 'way
to school or to pasture after the
cows. That is said to work nicely.
Other good plans are to saturate the
wart frequently with oil of cedar, or
to dampen it, cover it with bicarb-
onate of soda and then wet that with
vinegar. Warts will also be likely
to disappear in time if saturated sev-
eral
v-
eral times daily with water contain-
ing a lump of washing soda as large
as a walnut in half a cup of hot wa-
ter. The latter solution will also re-
move warts from the muzzle of a
colt, or the teats of a cow and an
even more effective treatment is to,
immerse the wart -covered teats twice
daily in water containing all the
bicarbonate of soda it will dissolve.
Then apply, after drying, a thick
paste composed of cold -pressed cas-
tor oil, flowers of sulphur and salt.
A thick paste of yolk of egg and salt
will cure bleeding warts of the horse
or mule. Apply it freely twice daily.
Pure castor oil freely applied daily
or fresh axle grease rubbed in once
or twice daily, is fairly effective for
the removal of masses of small warts.

fective but mussy. Double strength

TALLEST CHIMNEY IN OTTAWA
DISTRICT
The J. R. Booth Company, I.imitod,
Ottawa, is planning the erection of a
new chimney, which, when completed,
will be the tallest chimney in the
Ottawa district, and will take a prom-
inent place among the highest stacks
in Canada. The proposed structure
is to be 276 feet high, and will cost
in the neighborhood of 815,000.
The new chimney is to be construct-
ed on a concrete base 22 feet square
and fifty feet high. The foundation
will reach to a depth of eight feet
below the ground surface. The tall
column above the base will be of
brick construction.
It is thought in some quarters that
the present chimney of the J. R.
Booth Co., Ltd., is the highest in
Ottawa, but such is not the case,
The chimney at the plant of the Brit-
ish -American Nickle Company at
Deschenes, towers above it by the
safe margin of twenty-five feet. The
Deschenes stack is 250 feet, while
that of the Booth plant is 225. The
new chimney, however, will wipe out
this margin, and establish another of
17 feet in favor of the J. R. Booth
Company.,
The reason underlying the under-
taking is found in the necessity for
increased draft for the main boiler
house of the plant. The work of con-
struction will be carried out by work-
men in the employ of the J. R. Booth
Company, Ltd., and will -be subject
to regulations of the civic building
by-law, with the approval of the ,ivic
building inspector.
GiANT REDWOOD MOVED WITH-
OUT FELLING
Performing a feat said to be with-
out parallel in the logging industry,
lumbermen of Freshwater, Cal., re-
cently moved a giant redwood tree,
210 feet high and weighing 315 tons.
a distance of 20 feet without lower-
ing it from the vertical position, says
"Popular Science."
The loggers wished to use the tree
as a lead pole for pulling in large
logs and loading them onto flut cars
at the terminus of the logging road;
but it stood twenty feet from the
right of way, ar.d to move the tracks
was not practicable. Felling, the tree
and then raising it again seemed a
waste of effort, so the men determin-
ed to move the giant without lower-
ing it.
First they guyed the trunk of the
tree with six 1r/4 -inch cables, then
sawed it halfway through on one side
and blasted the stump away below the
cut. Skids were placed order the
edge of the butt, the rear guys were
slacked two feet, the front guys
drown taut, and the tree sawed clear
through.
Then, by a process of tautening and
slackening the guy lines, a powerful
donkey engine moved the tree two
feet at a time along the skids to the
desired position.
I'LANTING TREE FOR EVERY
ver MARITAL QUARREL
The primrose path is not always
necessary for a successful married
life according to Rev. 1'. Logan Geg-
gie, Toronto's widely known Scottish
-preacher, about whom the following
story is told: -
Mr. Geggie had officiated at a wed-
tiing ceremony, and, following the re-
freshments, proffered his advice to
the newly-wed couple on conjugal
ethics. "A" little dispute now wird
then should not Interfere with your
happiness," advised Mr. Geggie, as
he told of a neighbor woman meet-
ing his wife on the street.
The neighbor recounted the secret
of her married happiness, and said
that her husband and she had quar-
reled only once in all their life to-
gether. When they finally settled
their differences the planted trees,
and resolved that they would plant
a tree each time they guatreled in
the future.
"And," said the neighbor, "we
never had to plant a tree since."
"Well," said Mrs. Geggie, "if we
had done the sante thing, my hus-
band would have been in the lumber
business by this time."
And Canada would never have any
reforestation problem if all couples
planted trees every time they quar-
reled, Mr. Geggie is sure.
COSTLY BATTLESHIPS NOW
USED AS TARGETS.
Having found no buyers for the
great group of battleships which the
Washington conference,decreed should
he scrapped, Great Britain is using
the monsters as targets for the gun-
ners of the Royal Navy and the bomb-
ers of the Royal Air Force. Like the
United States and France, Britain
has a dozen or more specially fine
cruisers and one-time dradnoughts
which must he relegated to the junk
pile.
Thunderer, Monarch, Conqueror,Co-
lossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion, King
George V., Princess Royal, Erin and
Orion, monsters of 20,000 or more
tons, each the pride of the Seven
Seas, are all doomed. Each costing
morthan $15,000,000 originally, junk
dealers have offered the Government
only $20,000 apiece for them.
The navy is now engaged in a series
of target tests on the famous battle-
ships Agamemnon and Superb, which,
like their sister ships, are to find their
graves in the ocean at the hands of
the gunners and jack tars that once
manned them. The Admiralty it try-
ing by these tests to determine how
a direct hit can be prevented from
passing from the turret down the am-
munition tube.

THE ABACISTI(' GOLFER
As a boy he was brilliant at figures.
At arithmetic's terror he jeered,
All his lessons at school he would
knock for a gool.
His skill algebraic was weird;
At trigonometry, calculus, conics,
In college he bested the dean,
But his genius to add grew exceed-
ingly bad
When he reckoned his score on the
green.
"Let me think -that was one to the
fair -way -
My iron shot gave me just one more,
My pitch, don't you see, left me with
a three .4
And one putt bring= it up to a four."
As a banker his virtues were legion.
His balances never were wrong,
And at any event he'd account for
each cent,
Though he labored the whole even-
ing long;
His opinions on intricate sfiPjects
Of finance were dazzlingly leen,
But his craft with the digets would
give you the fidgets
When he summed up his score on the
green:
"Just a moment -two shots to the
bunker -
And adding the one from my drive -
The approach was one more -that
gives me a four
And a putt -yes, my score was a
five!"
As a golfer this gentleman clever
Was, speaking politely, a dub;
First a slice, then a hook, then ker-
splash in the brook,
Then a splintered and pulverized club
After hacking and chopping and dig-
ging
'heath the trees and the brambles a
while,
He'd carous o'er the green, sink a
putt for fifteen,
And say with a bland, easy smile:
"Let one see -I took two to the haz-
ard-
Then got in a bit of a fix -
Just one or two strokes, but anyway,
folks,
I'm sure I pulled out with a six."

EATING WOOD AN ODD
DIETETIC HABIT
In several places on the north coast
of Siberia the natives eat wood, not
because they must 'but because they
like it, says the Lancet (London-.
Wood is generally eaten even when
fish is plentiful their favorite hish
being prepared by scraping off thin
layers immediately under the bark
of larch logs, chopping them fine and
boiling them up with snow.
It generally turns out that dietetic
habits which at first sight seem curi-
ous have a rational basis. The vir-
tues of rod liver oil no longer rest
on empirical experience and a vague
idea that its efficacy was proportion-
al to its nastiness; the reputation of
fresh vegetables was gained in the
days before the Dutch taught us to
grow turnips and hardy cabbages,
and when something like scurvy was
an annual experience of the early
spring.
It is interesting toguess the rea-
son for wood eating. The cellulose
which forms so large a part of a
herbivorous diet is now recognized as
being a subsidiary source of energy
through the fatty acids produced in
the stomach and bowels by cellulose -
splitting bacteria. But the modified
forms of cellulose which form the
mass of tree trunks are hardly at-
tacked h the the e -
y bacteria of limen
tary canal, it is possible that the
Siberians have by practice and habit

nothing else for days."
"But do you want me to stay, Miss
Ruth Y"
I She Bfted her head and looketj him
ifearleeely in the step:
"Yee, I do -now that you will have
it that way. We are going to have
a sleigh ride to -morrow, and I know
you would love the open country, it
is so beautiful and so is----"
"Ruth! Ruh! you dear child"
came a voice -"are you two never
coming in? -the coffee is stone cold."
"Yea, Aunt Felicia, right away.
Run, Mr. Breen-" and she flew up
the brick path.
For the second time Miss. Felicia's
keen, kindly eyes scanned the young
girl's face, but only a laugh, the beet
and. surest of masks, greeted her.
"He thinks it all lovely," Ruth rip-
pled out. "Don't you, Mr. Breen?"
"Lovely? Why, it is the moat

hardly believe my senses. I am quite

"And did you hear my frogs?" in-
tei rupted his hostess.
"Of course he didn't, Felicia,"
broke in Peter. "What a question to
ask a man! Listen to the croakings
of your miserahig tadpoles with the
prettiest girl in seven counties -in
seven States, for that matter -sit.
ting beside him! Oh! -you needn't
look, you minx, If he heard a single
croak he ought to be ducked in the
puddle -and then packed off home
soaking wet."
"And that is what he is going to
do himself," rejoined Ruth, dropping
into a chair which Peter had drawn
up for her.
"Do what!" cried Peter.
"Pack himself off -going by the
early train -nothing I can do or say
has made the slightest impression
on hint," she said with a toes of her
head.
Jack raised his hands in protest,
but Peter wouldn't listen.
"Then you'll come back, sir, on
Saturday and stay until Monday and
then we'll all go down together gnd
you'll take Ruth across the ferry to
her father's,"
"Thank you, sir, but I am afraid
I can't. You see, it all depends on
the work-" this last came with a
certain tone of regret.
"But I'll send MacFarlane a note,
and have you detailed as an escort
of one to bring his only daughter-"
"It would not do any good, Mr.
Grayson."
Stepyour nonsense, Jack-"
Peter called him so now -"You come
back for Sunday." These days with
the boy were the pleasantest of his
life.
"Well, I would love to-" Here his
eyes sought Ruth-"but•we have an
important blast to make, and we are
doing our beat to get things into
shape before the week is out."
"Well, but suppose it isn't ready?"
demanded Peter.
"But it will be," answered Jack in
a mere positive tone; this part of
the work was in his hands.
"Well, anyhow, send me a tele-
gram."
"I will send it, sir, but I am afraid
it won't help matters. Miss Ruth
knows how delighted I would -be to
return here and see her safe home."
"Whether she does or whether she
doesn't," broke in Miss Felicia,
"hasn't got a single thing to do with
it, Peter. You just go back to your
work, Mr, Breen, and look after your
gunpowder plots, or whatever you
call them, and if some one of these
gentlemen of elegant leisure -not
one of whom so far has offered his
services - cannot manage to escort
you to your father's house, Ruth, I
will take you myself. Now come in-
side the drawing -room, every one of
you, or you will all blame me for
undermining your precious healths-
you, too, Major, and bring your ci-

so altered their intestinal flora that
they can deal with lignin with ad-
vantage, bolt this seems a trouble-
aome way of getting energy when
fish and milk are available, and it
appears hardly likely that the ex-
planation of wood -eating lies along
these lines.
But if the habit suggests at the mo-'
ment no rationals, it is curious to note
that it falls in-line with the tastes of
some other animals. The fondness of ,
rabbits for bark and the immediately
subjacent tissues is well known. It i
is, perhaps, worth noting too that
these same invaluable experimental
animals are particularly fond of hard,
woody, leaves -as, for example, holly,
gorse or hawthorne, and sometimes
seem actually to prefer them to cab-
bage or milk thistle. Ponies also are
apt to be possessed of a devil or some
curious appetite, and will set to work
on big forest trees and kill them by
cleaning off the hark and conducting
tissues down to the hard wood. These
and other examples of similar tastes
suggest that there is something par-
ticularly good in the outer layer of
trees, and it is natural to think that
it probably resides in the young con-
ducting tissues rather than in. the
outer bark. Of its precise nature it
is idle to speculate.

impression that he was at once add-

bathing her glorious hair and the
round of her dimpled cheek. For an
instant a half -regretful smile quiv-
