SOME GOOD IN VIVID COLOR
Frenehmen Found ' Their Red Cap*
Ueeful In Signaling te Their
Alert Comrade*.
The French Have, with the oncom-
ing of winter, put into use the recent-
ly adopted great coat fdr infantry. It
:n not, a,a heretofore, a dark blue, bui
a blue-gray. The French have left
to their British all lee the kb*U color,
and they could not adopt the gray-
green hue which had already been
chosen by the Germans. So they ac-
cepted a blue, which is neutral and
from a distance scarcely visible. It
blends with the fog of the morning
nnd the smoke of battle.
As for red, it la now definitely pro-
scribed. The vermilion military cap
is covered with blue. So the foot sol-
diers hereafter clothed In shaded
foggy wear will attract less attenUou
from Ihe enemy. t "But," nays Le Crie
de Paris, “if red offers in time of war
greater danger to the wearer. It may
on occasion present some advantages.
The other day a wounded aoldler re
counted how he and several of his
comrades wandered into a position in
advance of the French lines. As they
were taken for Germans every time
one stuck liis nose above the trench
they drew the fire of our soldiers. All
at once an idea came to them. They
put en the ends of their bayonets
their red caps from which they had
rem ved the C3ver. The firing ceased
and they were enabled to return to
their countrymen. This time it was
the red that saved them."

Delicate Mechanism Will Give Better
Service If Never Wound Up to
Extreme Limit.
Thousands of excellent timepieces
are damaged by being wound too tight-
ly or permitted to run until they are
almost run down.
The mechanism of a watch or clock
will wear longer and render more
valuable service if not placed under
a strain.
The best timepieces will be more
nearly accurate If they are wound not
too tightly aud never allowed to run
completely down.
The most satisfactory way to wind
an eight-day clock le to wind it twice
In that many days, and lo wind it only
half or a little more than half way
each time. ThiB keeps the machinery
free from any unusual strain, and the
works will continue to render effi-
cient work much longer than when
the clock Is permitted to run the time
limit aud then wound up to Ita ut-
most capacity.
A watch that Is wound twice In
twenty-four hours will give more per-
fect satisfaction in time than if tbo
watch iB wound up tight once every
twenty-four hours, as most persons do.
Do not permit the watch to run
down, and only wind it a part of the
amount needed to wind it up com-
pletely.

Famous Woman Inventor.
MIm Mqrgaret E. Knight, who died
recently. Is an example of woman
whoso 'brain could work as readily cn
mechanical lines aa on household
lines. It Is said that Miss Knight
patented 87 Inventions and that her
picture has been hung in the patent
office In Washington.
Miss Knight may have been the
youngest inventor among women, aa
she invented, when she waa twelve
years old, a stop-motion device for
preventing the steel-tipped shuttles of
mid looms from falling out and In-
juring the operators.
One may Invent hourly, and yet pro-
duce nothing practical, hut the true
test of Miss Knight being a success-
ful inventor is answered by the fact
that most of her patented inventions
were taken up by manufacturers. A
machine she invented for making and
folding square-bottomed paper bags in
1*71 is still in use. and a tin can which
she invented only a few years ago
was at once taken up by several can-
ners Most of her Inventions related
to rubber, cotton and shoe machinery.

AFFECTED BY WATER’S DEPTH
asigmplur* HanR Feand fib#

li i aMulaHMas
To k* exact, there is only aggoewe*
in the world where the tides fallow
the moon with ragularity. and this la
the great Antarctic basin. And th*
reason Is that there ia the only place
a sweep of water ta te ha taend that
ia entirely uninterrupted by land.
The enormous waves caused by the
moon’s attraction course round tha
world south of Cape Horn and th*
Cape of Good Hope, with absolute*
nothing to break them Here In our
northern hemisphere great masse* ®f
land Interrupt th* tidal waves and.
combined with the shallowness of the
inland seas, cause them to perform
antics which seem most strange.
The depth of the water has much
to do with the tidal trregularitiaa. Oat
In the open ocean, where th* ttd* la
abysmal—about five thousand fathoms
—the speed of the waves Is amaslag.
Where the depth decreases to tv#
fathoms the tide cannot travel ntora
than fifteen miles an Lour. In Eng-
land, for example, which la surround-
ed by narrow, land-broken seas, the
result is that they get some of th*
most dangerous tidal races and cur-
rents to be found. Tha most formid-
able of these Is the whirlpool between
the Islands of Jura and Seirhn. on
the west coast of Scotland. This la
known aa the “Caldron of the Spotted
Seas.”
There the current runs at times at
the rate or more than twelve miles an
hour, and the force of a heavy tidal
current rushing up to the wlde-
mouthed river forms what la called a
"bore.” A most striking example of
this tidal feature la often seen on the
Amazon, when a moving wall of wa-
ter, reaching from bank to bank and
to a height of more than twenty feet,
will rush inland.
without Gyp.
The family was at dinner the other
day when a whining and scratchlag
was heard at the door. Dorothy Sayre,
six years old. opened It and in walked
Gyp. The dog was gaant and too
weak to bark In his Joy. He wore a
license issued In Mechanlcatown. CO

Europe’s Population.
People are in the habit of thinking
of China as the most densely popu-
lated land In the world. The great
Lss of life which usually attends
floods In China helps to maintain this
idea. Few people realize that Eu-
rope's population is slightly denqpr
than that of China
According to census, the Inhabitants
of China number 439.000,000. Aa
China is about one-tenth larger than
Europe, the density of population of
the two slightly fayors Europe.

A horse trough In one of tha suburb*
of Sydney waa the.acene of a funny In-
cident the other afternoon. Two doge,
water spaniels, were trotting along,
when tt.fy - came to this place, and
stopped for n drink. They wore both
thirsty, but neither waa tall enough
to reach the trough; and they talhad
the matter over, aa dogs will, nnd won-
dered why they had not been treated
with aa much consideration aa horse*.
Presently they solved the problem.
One ft them ranged himself andar tha
edge of tbo trough and the other, rest-
ing his forefeet upon his companion's
back, was able to reach into lb* pool
and slake his thirst. . When-he had fin-
ished he hopped down, seemed to say
that the water was good, and then In
turn ranged himself under the adga at
.the trough, and the other reached up
for the drink ha had earned. Whan ha
was satisfied, they trotted away t»

could be who had mat n proMeas and
vanquished It.—Dawn.
With ft'ppv
Two professor* of tha school of ag-
riculture at Hennas, France, have
made some Intereettng experiments In
prolonging the live* of cut flowers.
One hundred different Bowers warn
usod In the experiments, and It wan *
found that sugar helped to heap moat
of them fresh, but was positively in-
jurious to Ulies and sweat peas. It
hastens the opening of reaea and
orchids, but did not thue affect tulips,
daisies or chrysanthemums.
Experiments were mad* with email
quantities of chloral, other, gjycerih.
alcohol, llmewatcr and ammonia salts,
oach of which served to lengthen tha
life of various flowers. Some of the
flowers kept In sugar nnd water lived
four times as long as they ordinarily
would.
The sugar does not have an exactly
equal effect on the different flowers
It preserves. Carnations seem to like
a 15 per cent solution and rasa* do
