ALASKA'S WOMAN
(To Mrs. Mary E. Hart)
Don't you hear the icy winter call

The far voice of your fierce Bnow
bliuding solemn North?
Your midnight sua turn? one dim

At Kotzebue it's "54 below."
The mighty Yukon's roaring pro
test shakes the crouching hills,
In vain attemptg to burst tbe icy
barrier closing down
Upon its breast. Aurora Borealis
shoot across th© sky
Red searchlights of lier miracle,
And all the heaven with flaming
splendor fills.
The tundra cracklee for your muck
luck's 'read.
Your parka hangs beseeching on
your cabin wall,
That far north cabin wall.

young ones there last fall,)
Your huskies snap their teeth im

And lurch against the traces to

And still the sunland holds you. I

At your door;
The perfume of your flowers be

BOXES TAKE MUCH WOOD
Some idea of the important bear
lug the lumber industry of the
rtate of Washington has on the
fruit industry may be gained from
the fact that in this state alone
there are required annually 12,000,
500 apple boxes, to say nothing of
the other fruits and the packing
.'ases for cannery output, says the
Spokane Chronicle.
Each apple box contains 4.3
r>oard feet of lumber, or 61,600,000
test are required annually to box
:h« apples of the state ,
It takeg a large, well equipped
nlJl to cut 100,000 feet a day and
in army of workmen in the woods
to keep logs supplied. Such a
ylant running every day, ringle
shift, could not furnish enough lum
afr in a yaer. |
The value of the log? used, just
is they are delivered into the
water, would range from ?350,
300 to $500,000,
With this in mind many of the
}ox manufacturers are urging the
standardization of a box that will
eliminate the large percentage of
waste which now takes place. Ex
cept in rare caseg the box manu
facturer must purchase from the
uw mill lumber cut on a 12-inch
t>asls with the result that outside
of every box factory will be seen
hugo piles of narrow strips which
are ripped from such lumber to
meet the dimensions required under
the present custom.
Hominy u'ZZ liacon.—Mold two cup

cold water. When ready to use turn
It out on a baking dish suitable to send

thin slices of bacon and cook in very
hot oven until the bacon la crisp. Pour
off the sui^rfluous fat, surround with
a border of poached eggs and serve at
once.
Hominy Pudding.—Half cupful boiled
bomlny, one cupful of milk, two tea
spoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful
of melted butter, one-half tablespoon

gradually to it Stir In the butter, salt,
sugar and beaten yolk of eggs. Then
fold In the stiffly beaten whites. Bake
In an earthen dish about twenty min
utes. SeTve as a vegetable with veal.
Hominy Puffs.—One pint of cold,

MARCHING TROOPS
Length of a Day's Tramp De*
pends on the Methods Used*
A HARD WAY AND AN EASY WAY
[ If the Load tha Soldiar Carriaa l« Prop
arly Adjuatad It Lasaana tha Amount
of Enargy Ha Haa to Expand and In
craaaaa Hia Staying Powara.
There are tw« things, and two things
only, which determine the length of a
day's march for a soldier. The first Is
the amount of actual labor or mechan
ical work done while marching, the
second Is the degree of even distribu
tion of this labor among the chief mus
cles used In performing labor. Now,
labor, or work, is simply the product of
the force overcome and the distance
through which It is overcome. The
forces to be overcome are by no means
confined to the weight of the man and
his pack. Many other forces are called
into play in the course of a day's
march.
To Illustrate, suppose the marcher
has to carry a five pound weight on the
end of a five foot stick. Suppose he
places this stick across his shoulder
with four feet behind him and one foot
in front. Dy the simple exercise of bad
Judgment he multiplies the weight of
his load by four; he has to pull down
continually with a force of twenty
pounds, and the shoulder must contin
ually push up with a force of twenty
five pounds, all on account of that five
pound load which is carried on the end
of the stick.
Another way in which energy may
be wasted is somewhat more subtle
and perhaps a bit harder to understand,
but of equal or greater importance.
It lies hi the principle that work has to
be done whenever a mass of any kind
Is changed in Its motion. It takes more
energy to start a street car, for In
stance, than to run it at uniform speed.
It takes more energy to make its speed
a little faster than to maintain it at the
last speed—that is, whenever a body
is given an acceleration a new force
has to be used. Now, every time a sol
dier bobs up and down when walking
be has to start the weight of bis body
and pack and gun upward and let them
down again. To do this uses up more
energy than simply to keep them mov
ing up or down. In the one case only
the pull of gravity has to be overcome,
In the other the Inertia of the soldier's
head and body. And the faster this Is
done the more energy is used up per
step. Hence it is thai a slow walk can
be maintained, not merely for a longer
time than a fast one, but for a longer
distance on a stretch.
Under tbe principle outlined above
would come tbe loss of energy due to
all swinging articles, sucb as bayonet
scabbards, tin cups, tassels, etc. These
have to be put hi motion, then jerked
back and stopped by bodily contact,
then put in motion nguin. All this con
sumes energy, and work has to be done.
Again, any weight on the breast of a
soldier or a tight coat or shirt, has to
be overcome every time he breathes.
And the deeper his chest expansion the
more work he has to do with his breast
every time he takes a breath. This
amounts to an enormous total during a
day's march. A loose coat and under
clothes will cause him to travel with
less expenditure of energy. It must be
remembered that this Is actual energy
used up, taken from the store of en
ergy available to march with.
Besides the up and down motion of a
soldier while marching, he sways from
side to side. Every article he Is carry-'
ing and his own body are thus started
and stopped lii this swaying direction
also. Thus energy is used up. Now.
the upper part of his body sways fur
ther than does the lower part, so If the
pack there must be, tbe heavier part
of it should be placed Just as low down
the trunk as is convenient or comforta
ble. The heavier articles should also
go as close to the back as possible, so
as not to Increase the leverage on ths
straps holding the pack to the body.
To sum up then: The gun should be
carried with Its center of gravity Just
a wee bit behind tbe shoulder, so as
to balance the weight of the hand and
forearm which keeps it steady (this Is
tbe usual practice, be It said); the pack
should be as compact as possible, close
fitting to the back, tbe heavy articles
tightly packed in the lowest available
space; no swinging articles should be
allowed, not even tassels; the coat
across the breast should be loose fitting,
as should also the underclothes; a slow
gait should be used; as small a rise and
fall as possible of the body should be
Indulged In and as short a sway as pos
sible. To the above may be added that
the shoes should not have stiff soles,
for every time tbe sole of a shoe is beat
energy is used up.
To decrease the rise and fall of the
body in walking the old "Indian walk"
used by some surveyors is useful It
consists In slightly crooking the for
ward knee as the body is shoved for
ward on to the front foot.—Philadel
phia Press.
Lithium a Soft Metal.
Lithium is a silver white, very soft
metal, which forms the oxide or some
other salt on exposure to the air and
which decomposes water, forming the
hydroxide of lithium. For these rea
sons metallic lithium does not occur In
nature. Compounds are called lltLlum
carbonate, lithium phosphate, lithium
silicate, etc. The chemical products de
rived from lithium minerals have found
application In military affairs.
