DECLINE OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Only Poverty and Insinuation WIN
Prevent Its Extermination.
If tuberculosis shall continue to de
crease In this country at the sane rate
as in the past half century it will be
obliterated In another decade. This Is
the opinion of Dr. Cleaveland Floyd,
expressed at the Harvard Medical
school. There are two conditions, how
ever, which will prevent the complete
obliteration of this Inng disease • 'i pres
ent, aud these are poverty and lack of
hygienic surroundings.
Dr. Floyd said that almost everybody
has the germs of this disease In his
system, but that he Is able to resist
their attack through living a healthy
life and through the protection of na
ture.
Inhalation and infection are the two
common ways by which a person con
tracts tuberculosis. Children may get
the germs in impure milk, but outdoor
play prevents the spread, it ofteu hap
pens, however, that when people go to
work In shops or insanitary ofllces or
live In crowded rooms the disease
shows itself and gains a foothold. That
Is why so many persons between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-two acquire
tuberculosis. Massachusetts, however,
is making a determined resistance
against the disease, and good food,
fresh air and a good blood circulation
form a sure preventive. These should
be guaranteed to every child.—Boston

MANAGING A SnIAKE.
How to Capture and Control Any Rap
tile Without Danger.
If you ure quick and fearless you
may manage any snake ;:o long as you
are armed with a cane or a piece of
wood like a cane.
I'usb the snake around In any way
that you can in orOer to prevent him
from coiling. When you have him In
Just the right position make a very
quick move und place your cane across
his neck Just behind his head. Then
yon have htm. lie cannot get out of
control.
Now bend down and grasp the snuke
In the place where your cane rests.
Just behind his head. With your left
hand put his bojy un«!er your right
arm. No matter how enraged the rep
tile may be lie can ii'» no harm as long
as you hold him In this position. His
body is held by your nrm agaiust your
side so he cannot coil around you or
around any convenient o'jject.
In handling snakes In the house it is
essential to keep away from furniture
or anything which the snake could coll |
about. They are very strong, and once
they get themselves wrapped around
any object It Is exceedingly difficult to
pry them loose. — Popular Science

Mock Sun» of the Arctic.
The mock suns of the arctic regions
are somewhat similar to the mirages
of the desert. As the long winter night
of the jKjiar region wanes once every
twenty-four hours a slight glow Is seen
at some point on the horizon. Often
accompanying this glow Is seen the
phenomenon of the mock suns. Sev
eral degrees up In the heavens as many
as live of these spectral orbs have been
seen at one time. Invariably they are
all connected in u geometric figure, the
suns seemingly bound together with
circles and arms of light. The expla
nation of the phenomenon Is given by
physicists as refraction and reflection
of light from the real sun below the
horizon on the mists Ln the upper at
mosphere.
Reviving Dying Trees.
A curious method of reviving lan
guishing or dying tr-os was reported
recently to the French Academy of
Agriculture after being tested success
fully hi experimental gardens at Au
tun, accordins to the Popular Mechan
ics Magazine. The earth was first re
moved so as to lay bare the larger root
branches, in which longitudinal slits
were then cut and kept open by wedges.
These cuts were well rubbed with lin
seed oil, and after awhile numerous
small roots appeared, forming a sort of
fur, and the trees so treated rapidly
gained new life und viiror. The method
was recommended for trial ln the case
of languishing fruit trees.
Cooking Oatmeal.
In preparing oatmeal If double quan
tity Is cooked at one time, using half
for one morning and putting the other
half ln a bowl, covering it with cold
water, It will only be necessary to pour
the water off and reheat for the sec
ond morning. Covering it with water
prevents the hard crust from forming,
which always does If left dry, and
must be lifted off, thereby causing
waste.—Philadelphia Itecord.
Absent.

buy me a birthday gift or spend the
money on a trip to her sister's." said

SAVE COAL AND
SHORTEN WAR
Washington, D. C., Feb. 15. —
Five ways of paving fuel in heatling
houses are described in a timely re
oort just madQ by; the Bureau ot
! M'-es, Department ol the Interior,
j Van H. Manning, Director of the
bureau, declares that while the
country Is facing a shortage of coal
't is the patriotic duty of every citU
zo i to save coal in the heating of
h'.a home. He estimates that there
are about 20,000,000 homes Jm
this country and that If everybody
uses ordinary intelligence and
care a ton of coal cm be saved1 easi
ly at each home during this year.
For the entire country, this sa-ying
would amount to about 20k000,000
tons of coal, which; la nearly as
mu h as all of the coal mined In
France during the year 1917.
The report describes the most
economical method of burning differ
ent types of coal, anthracite, bitu
minous, and1 briquets, it also ex
plain the meaning of draft regula
tions and the necessity of studying
j'our furnace. It is suggested that
in heating houses considerable fuel
can he saved by keeping the tem
perature in the house uniform and
fiv« t-i ten. degrees lower than is
customary; instead of the tempera
ture being between 70 ta 74 de
grees, it can be kept at 62 to 68
degrees without discomfort or any
da!i",er to healthy especially if the
air in the rooms is kept moist. The
keeping of the temperature down
means the saving of 15 to 20 per
cent of the fuel and) it may also
mean a saving on the doctor's bill
I' s also fuel saved by doing less
work. The American people are
urged to save fuel by heating few
er rooms in the house. In many
houses the family can get along com
fortably by keeping warm three or
four rooms instead of heating six
or seven rooms.
The report further states: "If
one stops ta think that 65 per cent
o' tn? families in Berlin, Germany,
live sleep, cook, and eat in the
same room;, living in three Or four
warn; rooms will seem a comforrt.
If ccnsumptivea ca« get well by
sleeuing outdoors, why not well peo
ple keep well by sleeping ia unheat
ed bedrooms witfi, the windows wide
open?
"Iu some homeg the furnace ia
started too early in the fa]l and. 1b
run too lata in the spring. The
chimneys of these homes are belch
lug emoke and spreading soot
over their neighborhood, while the
neighbors keep windoWB and doors
open to the outside aid and even sit
on the front porches. These faint
hearted people in thefrr fear of c&tcli
•eg cold heat their houses unneces
sarily; thus they waste the coun
try's coal, increase their coal bills,
invit" sickness into their homes, and
malfo life unpleasant t<> their neigh
bors. When mornings and evenin;!
are chilly a grata fire for a short
time in one or two rooms will make
tha house comfortable.
"Every householder Qy. endeav
oring to save coal in the ways sug
gested can render hka country val
uable service, and he will not be
doin* his full duty toward his cpun
try unless he renders such, service
as he can. in addition, he Bhould

THE SIZE OF ATOMS.
Far Smallo-- Than Anything W» Can
See, Feet, Taste or Smell.
In ways t-jo It;ricale to be described
here we have littli; by little got some
knowledge of tbe probable size of
atoms. Thev must indeed be exceed
ingly small. For example, in a tea
spoonful of wat< r we have good reason
to believe that thciv are very nearly a
million million million million atoms—
tllUS: 1.1 HUM**>.(.»MM 'M,OII<(.(MKI,<t00.0U0.
That number is so tremendously big
that it is be., ond our ability to imagine
it, even though we cr.u write It down.
It means, of course. tliut tbe at»m Is
far smaller than ;-.nything we eau see
or feel or taste or smell. Indeed, the
atom must be so small that if we Im
agine a tennis hall magnified to be
forty utiles in diameter the atoms In it
would then be no larger than grains of
line sand o;,e o::e '...idled tit of an Inch
hi diameter.
Only two or three of the kinds of
atoms that we in w know on earth ap
pear to be capable of splitting up into
smaller ones.
Of these atoms radium Is the most
striking example, its "atoms" seem to
be steadily going to pieces at such a
rate that of an ounce of radium only
half an ounce would be left after 1,(570
yc.srs. So far as we know, the half
that was lost would have turned finally
into a sort of lead, together with a
strange gas called helium. Each
"atom" of radium perhaps yields one
atom of lead and e of helium. More
over. radium itself raums to be slowly
formed from an< f!;er still heavier ele
ment. uranium. Theodore M. Itichards
