DON’T LET TOUR CHILDREN STOP
SCHOOL.
School doors will soon be open
ing. All over the land young peo
ple are making themselves ready
for college. Are your boys and
girls among them?
This year as never before will
there be the temptation to keep the
children to help gather the crops
and canning. Many of the older
boys are gone to war, the colored
laborers have left for the North:
what are you going to do for help?
With all that, keep the children in
school if you can.
A school-trained brain gives a
boy an equal chance with others
when thrown into the full brunt of
life's battle. Every graduation day
increases the average of intelli
gence against which your child
must contend.
There was a time when a farmer
got along almost as well in a busi
ness way with little learning. If
he judges his boy's needs by the
r landard of training necessary in
} s own younger days he forgets
t tat he lives in another generation:*

“NEW” WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Asphyxiating Bomb and Incendiary
Shell Outgrowth of Missiles Em
ployed Long Ago by Chinese.
Mirny of the “new” weapons pro
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the asphyxiating bomb is
an outgrowth of a missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead of
deadly chemicals, it contained some
substance that emitted a nauseous
odor, accompanied by stifling smoke.
Later this device appeared in Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name of “stink-pot.”
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented a rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saraceus. which
fired a kind of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side of a building end set fire to it.
These halls were made of petroleum
and niter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek fire.
The German device of throwing pe
trol upon an enemy by means of a
pump was used long ago, when an at
tacking ship often spouted flames at j
the object of its assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted in the destruction j
of the vessel so attacked.
AUSTRALIANS GREAT HUNTERS
Knowledge of the' Habit* of Animal*
Make* Up for Crude Weapon*
and Lack of Endurance.
Ja endurance and speed the Aus
tralian aborigine is not the equal of the
American Indinn, and his weapons of1
wood and poorly fashioned stones are
effective only at short range, says the
National Geographic Magazine. But
as a hunter the native Australian is '
marvelously adapted to his environ- •
ment. His success lies in an intimate ,
knowledge of the habits of the animals 1
orr land, in the ground, in trees and i
under water, end his wonderfully de-!
veloped power of observation.
He decoys pelicans by imitating
their cry«. catches ducks by diving be
low them, locates an opossum in a
tree by marks on the bark or by the
flight of mosquitoes, finds sharks by
observing the action of birds and fol
lows a bee to Its store of honey.
Any animal which leaves a track
however dim in sand, on rock or in'
grass falis an easy prey to the native.
Children are taught to track lizards
and snakes over bare rocks and to fiDd
their absent mothers by following
•racks too indistinct to serve as a
guide for any European. When a white
n an is lost in the desert or a child
strays from h me the final resort Is to
secure a "black tracker.”
‘•Stump-Jump" Plow*.
The fact that practically the entire
surface of the areas susceptible to
cultivation in western Australia is
heavily wooded and that the dearth
and cost of labor preclude the clearing
of the land of stumps and roots, has
led to the invention of a special type
of plow known as the “stump-Jump."
This is so constructed that it will roil
over stumps and other obstructions ly
ing on the ground. The plow was
invented by an Australian and. so far.
has been manufactured only In that
country. In breaking up new lands
preference is given to the stump-jump
disk plow, as it will cut many roots
that a moldboard plow would leave un
touched. As the land becomes clean
er of roots after two or three years'
application of this treatment, the
stump-jnmp moldboard is pr- 'erred ve
cause of its better soil turning quali
ties.

CAMEL RIDING NOT EASY JOB
Beginner Has Feeling Akin to Seasick
ness Owing to the Peculiar Gait
of the Animal.
Camel riding is learned only at the
prire of suffering. This is because
of the peculiar gait of this animal,
which produces a feeling akin to that
of seasickness, owing to the swaying
motion of the body caused by the fact
that the two legs of one side move
simultaneously.
This animal thrives only in desert
regions. And herein lies its usefulness
to man, for by its means alone is he
enabled to cross barren tracts other
wise impassable. This ability to live
without water and with little food for
long periods is due to two nntural
reservoirs. Water is stored in special
pockets in the lining of the stomach,
while a large mass of fat is stored on
the back, forming the characteristic
hump—though, according to popular
belief. It is here that the water is held.
Though it will manage to subsist for
long periods on the thorny scrub such
as forms the only vegetation of desert
areas, and with very little water, its
complacency in these matters may be
overtaxed, ns was disastrously shown
during the first expedition to Khartum.
Two other factors in the adaptabil
ity of the camel to a desert life have
to be taken into account. These are
the feet and the nostrils. The first
named have but two toes, protected by
very thick, horny pads to resist the
burning sand; while the nostrils are
long and slitlike, and can be closed at
will, thereby enabling the animal to
survive the awful sandstorms which so
frequently endanger the lives of trav
elers.
SUCK-WATER PERIOD OF DAY
Two O'clock In Afternoon, Declares
Writer, Is for Some Reason a
Time of Disillusion.
Each period of the day has Its own
subtle quality, which no arbitrary re
arrangement of our own hours of work
and rest can destroy. And two o'clock
In the afternoon Is a time of disillu*
slon, a time when a man has neither
great faith nor profound convictions,
writes William McFee In the Atlantic.
The morning Is gone, the evening too
far away. Even teatime seems at an
immense and tragic distance. It Is the
slack-water period of the day. And It
is the period when a man may perhaps
experience, In the space of a flash, a
peculiar sensation of being an impos
tor ! It is. I suppose, in such moments
that generals, commanders, chief en
gineers and the like Jump overboard.
It is a sensation extraordinarily vivid
and brief. No external evidence is of
any avail to neutralize its dire and
dreadful omniscience. No personal
written record, no esteem of lifelong
friends, no permanent and visible ac
complishment can shield the sensitive
human soul, thus suddenly stripped
hare by some devilish cantrip of its
own mechanism. One feels a hollow
sham.
St Augustine Nights.
By night (in St. Augustine) yon
may hear the negroes sweeping the
streets, doubly darkling over theli
surface and softly gossiping together,
writes W. D. Howells la Harper's
Magazine. Theirs are not the only
black voices you hear, for their cas
ual race seems to have no more stat
ed hours for sleeping than eating.
Their mellow murmurs, especially
when the nights are wants, rise In
what seems perpetual jolting, as if
from their humorous pleasure at be
ing aiive together in the same amus
ing world, and if you have no worse
conscience than the talkers, their
voices will lull you again to the
slumbers they have broken. It is as
if a swarm of blackbirds, carrying
news of the spring northward, had
swept chuckling through the trees and
fluttered the fans of the palms and
the leaves of the magnolias with such
comment in their course as would nat
urally occur to blackbirds.
