The groat military problem in rime of peace is to maintain fighting morale. To an extraordinary degree fighting forest tires calls forth * the same qualities required in lighting an armed foe. Locating a forest lire In the wild western country is almost identical with loca'ing an enemy battery: reporting a forest fire to base headquarters by ra io is not esser.tialI ly different from reporting artillery r fire; dropping carbon dioxide to extinguish incipient forest fires?a projected development of the near future?demands the same technical skill as would dropping bombs of TNT on an army ammunition dump. The aerial forest fire patrol, more- i over, provides ideal training for observation squadrons. Liaison with the forest'service is accomplished much the same as with the infantry anil ar- j tiilery in war operations. I INDUSTRY CALLS ON SCIENCE | i Chemist Today Plays a Highly im* ; portant Part in Enterprise of Every Description. It is said that whenever a car wheel breaks on a certain great trunk line j ' the fragments are taken to the com- i pany s laboratory ana careiuiiy studied; so that when the next order for car wheels is made up, if structural a weakness caused the accident, it may ^ be guarded against. All the purchases H by this railroad of iron, steel, on. V lumber or what not are tested by the j chemists it employs and they draw up ! the requirements to which persons j who sell the road supplies must conform. This is- not an isolated inr * stance. It illustrates the practicality * of applied science, and the reliance of acute business men upon the ex? pert opinion that insures thorn against wasting materials, time and money. A class graduated from one of outlargest technological schools numbered almost two hundred young men and women. Eleven of them took up special studies in this Institution or others. All bur forty of the rest found employment within a year. They engaged in the service of electric companies, railroads, cotton and paper mills, mines, machine works, iron and steel foundries and others of our most important industrial enterprises. Paderewski Easily Disturbed. Paderewski will not permit anybody to sit behind him. At some of his concerts hundreds of seats could have ? been added on the stage. Moreover, k in every Paderewski recital no seats are sold in that part of the orchestra I proper which is directly behind him. i The piano is set at a forty-five degree angle, which means that in the extreme left corner of the orchestra, looking toward the stnire. a number of seats are directly facing Padorewski's back. Those seats are empty for Paderewski. "If they are behind me. I think they are pushing my elbows," he says. One night he complained: "Will j you go down to that woman in the | seventh row at the right? She is i fanning. I do nor mind if she fans in-j time. But if she cannot do that 1 i cannot play."?C. L>.

As witness of this, the j ? front of the Central Presbyterian j ] church, Buffalo, was recently moved .'?0 j j fppt e.-istward. to uermit a lengthening \ , of the auditorium to that extent. The i front of the building is 7i> feet wide, : ever the lateral buttresses. G-"> feet i , high and 8 feer \\;<ie at the thickest . parts.

While this was being ; done the front wall was jacked up' < upon rollers. The work of moving the ' 1 1.000-ton mass was done by means of j screw-jacks, operated by 13 men. and j the wall completed its journey of SO ; feet without injury in 10 hours.? Scientilic American.

Profess*x- Gars tend. the nrchpnlo rist, has returned to Palestine after his visit to England and has started to mark out sites for further excavations. Durinjr the past two years the professor and his assistants have been nsraired in makinir exploration on the 3ites of the ancient cities of Askalon j find Gaza. This season trial explorations are to j t>e made upon a series of "tells" (artificial hill mounds, the debris of successive cities near the two sites of Askalon and Gaza. Little is known of the national history of the Philistines, and it is the object of the new excavations to set at tiie problem of this mysterious race. Professor Garstand considers 'hat it would be too prolonged and expensive i business to dig through the great lepth of Graeeo-Iioman buildings ro i :l:e deeper layers in which lie the j Philistine remains of tlie city of Asba!on, so that the excavations will be outside the walls of the city.

There is no service at this hour, and 110 ministers are n about. It is immediately before a t busy day. A year ago there were not r enough men in the pews at this morning hour for the sextons to take :i.>te.
