The device Resembles a deep-sea monster. Its principle feature is that a man in it will be able to work for long periods of time without help from title surface, owing to the oxygen tanks carried within. Most functions that a diver is able to perform may be executed by two long interchangeable arms that extend in front of the apparatus and which are controlled from within the machine. The machine is 15 feet over all. It is widest and highest near the front where the operator sits. *'H'fcs-f-i*' * ^ i S '.,,1 PEKING Of SAF€Ty f ••,1 T&ftRAPlNS lWfc HfR C€NTURIE5, "WErY 3AY ttEPMANTS AR£ *IT AND WT AT PI^T'V v Mt7U\J5tLAH LIVED 9to *6Afe.* i , BUTAN AUTO WIU fTMD twe wsr so tDNfr-.-DON'T DRWfc tHE OLD BUS INlb O* 6RAV€. ..\J AAAV TAI<€ NOU WtHTj ; Atone with rr: SNAPSHOT CUIL SERMON TO VACATIONERS The photographer, fairly cloce, took ear* to focus on tho child, not on the distant scene.

Determine to take more care with your lens stops, your shutter speeds and your focusing. Decide that before you take a picture you ^rill give thought to the light conditions; whether the day is hazy, dull or very dull; whether a midday sun is shining from a clear sky or the less intense early morning or late afternoon sun; whether the light is increased by reflections from expanses of water or Band; whether your subject is In average shade or deep shade; whether under any of these conditions you are photographing nearby objects or a distant scene. Say you will consider these things each time and carefully adjust your camera to fit them. Make up your mind that you will think also about the composition of each picture, that it shall have merit because of its pictorial qualities and • that in each scene showing human or other beings there shall be storytelling interest.

Body braad $250,000,000 in Bill* Continental currency is the term applied to the forty issues of bills of credit or paper money put out by authority of the Continental congress from June 22, 177S, to November 29, 1779. In all, this currency amounted to a face value of $250,000,000, says the Rocky Mountain Herald. The bills were promises to pay, based upon the pledge of congress to redeem them in "Spanish milled dollars, or the value thereof in gold or silver." No date for redemption was given.

In terms of entertaining, eye-delighting, emotion-stirring and photographically excellent pictures, these possibilities are unlimited, and on vacations, whether you head for the ocean, mountain, lake, river, even the prairie»or the desert, the opportunities for real pictures are unlimited. Do make up your mind this time to think before you shoot. Special supplication: If you have never used a color filter, treat yourself to two or three of different types, or at leaft one average filter such as the K-2, and experiment with them before you start.

Much Heat Required to Raise Water Temperature Water is the great heat reservoir of the earth. It takes more heat to raise the temperature of water by a given amount than is required for almost any other substance. In addition, it takes about 80 calories to melt a gram of ice and about 600 to evaporate an equal amount of water. The same quantities of heat are released when the reverse changes, the freezing of water and the condensation of water vapor, take place, according to Dr. Thomas M. Beck in the Chicago Tribune. , Water spontaneously evaporates, absorbing the necessary heat from its surroundings, until its vapor has reached a certain pressure above w h i c h i t c a n n o t g o . When t h e water vapor has reached this pressure in air, evaporation stops and the air is said to be saturated. The vapor pressure of water is proportional to the amount of water held by saturated air and increases strongly with rising temperature. Thus the pressure of water vapor in saturated air is about .2 inch at 32 degrees and increases to 1.2 inches at 85 degrees. Our atmosphere is very rarely saturated, however. Normally it holds about 70 per cent of the amount theoretically possible. This fraction of saturation is known as the degree of humidity. When it is high very little evaporation takes place, and when it is knr the reverse, iajtruev SLOCUMV LAKE |ONE MAPLE TAVERN A H. WATSON, Prop.

It can only move it up and down. People once thought crocs were just big, lazy lizards, but we know they are not even closely^ related to lizards. Except for alligators their nearest kin died out millions of years ago, says a writer in the Washington Post. The chief difference between a croc and alligator is that the latter's snout is shaped like a shovel while the former's resembles a trowel or arrow head. Most crocs, unlike alligators, are very vicious. Sea crocs are invariably man-eaters. So are African, or Nile crocs. There is but one animal able to conquer the African croc--the orang-utan. This Samson of the jungle Is strong enough to hold a croc's jaws open while he tears out its tongue. Yet crocs do not hesitate to #ttack orang-utans. Eagles Do Little Hai The eagle is a bird of f>rey but bird lovers believe it does more good than harm. It is particularly fond of dead fish and keeps streams and watercourses clean, observes a writer In the Washington Post. The birds were formerly 'so numerous their' depredations were serious. They carried off chickens, pigs, lambs and even dogs, so farmers and hunters started gunning for them. Their numbers are so reduced they do little or no harm. Favorite trick of the bald eagle i to rob a fish hawk of his catch. The crafty eagle plummets on the hawk with a blood-curdling scream. Startled, the hawk drops his catch and the eagle grabs it before it reaches the ground. * ' file "China Apple" ;' • aboriginally called the "China ap. ple,"( oranges came from the Orienfc Spanish explorers took them to South America, and missionaries carried them to California and Florida.
