Kerosene, the heavy oils and greases useless in the “good old days” but it was dangerous because of the attend- ant risk of fire which was ever present wherever quantities were stored. Mil- lions of gallons were loaded into huge tanks on barges, transported far out to sea, and there dumped. Thus was the fire hazard averted. “The advent of the internal com- bustion engine changed all this and gasoline in a few years became the principal product of the petroleum trade. Kerosene lost caste with the coming of the electric light. The de- velopment of' the automobile made At 45 miles an hour you travel 66 feet a second. At 20 miles you go 29 feet; at 30 miles it is 44 feet; at 35 miles the rate is 51 feet a second, and at 40 miles, 58.6 feet. Of course, you will hit 50-mile §peed frequently when not pursued by a road cop. You then go 73 feet a second. All of which must be reckoned with when you want to suddenly st0p.

With everything in your favor, and when your car has two-wheel brakes, you may stop 187 feet from the place you began to apply the brakes. If you have four-wheel brakes, you may stop in 124 feet. If any one of the factors mentioned above is against safety, you will go farther before you - v_Vr_â€"_____ the petroleum industry one of the richest 0! the nation, and the “dan- gerous by-product” became one of our principal articles of trade.” A good auto driver must know in what space he can stop if necessary to prevent accident.

In the modern world we have in reality only one, and that is the humanbody,writesDr.W.H. C. Latson in the New York Tribune. Regarded from a purely mechanical viewpoint, the human body is 'a sup- erbly efficient instrument, infinitely complex, exquisitely delicate, and yet powerful, enduring and adaptable be- yond belief. The human body is a microcosm of the universe, a minia- ture world in itself.‘ It embodies within its composition, its structure, its operations, everything that is to be found anywhere in the world outside For instance, the body contains all of the important chemical elements. Nearly three-quarters of its weight is made up of oxygen, that important and universal element. Then there are the other gases, nitrogen, hydro- gen. chlorin and fluorin. In addition to these gases we find carbon, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, sulphur, potassi- um, magoisium, iron, copper, lead, and silicon lithium, mercury, arsenic and other solids. The first five named, the The matter thus taken into the body is normally balanced by an equal quantity of waste thrown off. For the escape of this waste there are four avenues: the lungs, which throw off twenty thousand grains daily; the skin, which excretes ten thousand grains, and the kidneys and intestines which eliminate twenty-four thous- and and twenty-four hundred grains respectively. Of the water taken, the lungs and skin together carry off just about one-half, the kidneys about forty-four per cent., and the intestines the rest. All this means that there passes through the body in the course of a year almost a ton and a half of solid and liquid matter. The body contains enough fat to make about one hundred candles, enough soap to keep its own surface, clean for a month, enough sugar to do a family meal, and enough salt to supply the family for a month. It contains only a little iron, just en-° ough to make a couple of small nails; but it has enough hydrogen gas to fill a balloon that would actually lift- the owner in the clouds. The hu- man body contains enough carbon to make about three thousand lead pencils, or in the form of a hod of' coal, enough to keep a blazing fire go- ing for an hour or two. That, as a matter of fact, is just what the body' does with its carbonâ€"uses it for fuel. And the energy derived from the cara bon or coal does for the human body just what it does for the steam end gineâ€"it keeps the body warm and gives it energy to move. l O A full grown man should weigh one hundred and fifty pounds, which should be divided as folloWs: muscles and their appendages, 81 pounds; bones, 22 pounds; fat, 18 pounds; brain, 3 pounds; internal organs, 12 pounds. The body contains about seven eighths water; and -so the man would contain about seventeen gal- lons, or more than half a barrel of it. No engine in the world can work like the human heart. Though it weighs only half a pound it pumps over 600,000 gallons of blood a year. A Constant Rebuilding The body rebuilds itself with a portion of this each day, discarding a corresponding quantity of waste. Thus we see that the body is constantly changingâ€"constantly breaking down and at the same time being rebuilt. We speak of “my body” as if we had today the same body we have always had. As a matter of fact, we build an entirely new body every few months. It is like a cataract. We see today the same Niagara Falls that man looked at five thousand years ago; but the wa- ter that forms the falls is always changingâ€"is never the same for one second. So with the body. gases, are sufficient in quantity to fill a tank of about four thousand cubic feet capacity, say of a size twenty feet long, ten feet high and twenty feet wide. The' solids in the body, such as the carbon, lime (calcium), sil- icon, sodium, potassium, magnesium, are all in the ground on which you- As to food, he would consume every day five thousand grains of lean meat, eight thousand grains of bread, seven thousand grains of milk, three thou- sand grains of potatoes, six hundred grains of butter, thirty-three thousand grains water.

Ac- cording to information recently come to light through the discovery of some ancient but suggestive of aflluence; indeed they were such as to make economy a virtue of the order. The old records referred to above gave some account of the building of Linlithgo Castle. Scotland. away back in the'year 1300. In those days the smith did not get over-paid for it is recorded that master blacksmiths got 12 cents a day and journeymen smiths 8 cents a day. Wheelwrights got 48 cents a week or six days. Other comparative wages at that date were masons 8 to 10 cents a day; quarrymen's to 8 cents; ditchers 4 cents; plumbers 12 cents; laborers 4 cents a day. The master of works during construction of the castle got At a later dayâ€"seventy years agoâ€"- when every wage-earning Soot who could do so was leaving the hills and dells of his native land for Australia or America, the wages paid to agricul- tural laborers ranged from a penny to a shilling a day. For that pittance women worked throughout the long day weeding or thinning turnips or doing other kinds of rough hard work in the fields. the princely salary. of 24 cents a day, and his assistant 12 cents a. day. Of course conditions were much the same in England, Ireland and the neighboring European countries. Work people labored long hours and were glad to have shelter for the night and the bare necessities of life. There is no closed season on dumb- bells. They get popped off every- where and all the time. Last year 128 automobiles in the United States ran into trains on one railway system. One went ‘ker-smash’ into the fifty- first car of a long freight train. If that isn’t dumb-bell driving, what is ? This has nothing to do with those who try to beat the train at the cross- ing getting hit. One hundred. and sixty-eight just head on against a train that was already at the crossing. Other railroads have the same story to tell. There were 5,640 grade cross- ing accidents last year on all rail- roads, with 2,371 killed and 6,613 in- jured. It shows one of two things. maybe both. Either the drivers are asleep, so to speak, at the wheel or they are driving without proper brake control of their cars. Both conditions make them ‘a highway menace. Such cars usually carry others. Good brakes, good lights and good driving are essential to the safety of the high- ways. his partner found the skeletons ex- tended an unknown distance into the rocky clifl. HUGE CAVE DISCOVERED MAY RIVAL KENTUCKY’S -T. B. Fraser’s discoveries back of Bruce Mines may reveal an Algoma cave rivalling the wonders of Ken- tucky’s Mammoth cavern. Fraser is now busy arranging to take a party of men back to the scene of his strange discoveries. The bones of the two fur traders who perished at the lonely lake many years ago will be buried and their muskets and other effects brought out in an endeavor to throw light on the long ago tragedy. Fraser stated that the cave in which he and HOW DID THEY LIVE ON THIS PAY ? THOSE CRAZY DRIVERS docm'nents the wages paid to Last week the Wiarton Board of Education advertised for a teacher to fill a last minute vacancy on the stafl of the Public School. It was expected that at this date most of the available' teachers would have been placed but no difficulty was anticipated in filling the vacancy. The advertisement ap- peared in two consecutive issues of a Toronto daily, and the result showed a remarkable staet of affairs in the teach- ing profession. In two or three days after the first appearance of the ad- vertisement over 260 applications were receive . Some of these were supple- mented by telegrams, telephone calls and personal solicitation. These appli- cations were received from all over the province; from towns as far apart as Port Arthur and Cobourg, North Bay and Windsor and including London. Hamilton, Stratford, Ottawa and a host of intervening towns, villages and hamlets. The qualifications of the ap- plicants were of a high order, and the task of choosing me out of so many was not an easy one. Here is shown the route followed by the Canadian government vessel Beothic in mi annual 7,000 “miles of them. The pathetic part of the situation is that these 260 young women are with- out schools, some of them with as much as ten years’ experience. and doubtless this is but a fraction of the total.
