Section of Northern Montana Brilliant
Scene During the Short Months
of Summer.
The Blaekfcet, or Picgnns, as they
call themselves, number approximate
ly 2,700. The setting for this pictur
esque trlbo Is a wonderful country,
without a glimpse of which no picture
of the Ulackfeet would he complete,
Klsle K. Newton writes In the South
ern Workman. The reservation Is In
northern Montana ; In area It Is nbout
two-thirds the size of Connecticut. It
lies up next to Canada on the north
and Glacier park on the west. The
park was once n part of It, and ro
tains many Indian names, such as
Ooing-to-the-Sun mountain, Itislng
Wolf mountain, Two Medicine lake
and river, nnd others.
From the splendid wldte-topped
range on the west the country drops
to rolling prairie eastward. It Is n
region of bitter winds and storms for
several months In (he ycnr. Closer to
the mountains, there Is not n month
when frost Is unexpected, and snow
falls as late as Juno, liut as soon as
the last ilake has disappeared the hill
sides flame almost overnight with wild
flowers. The splendor of them contliK
ties throughout the short summer, one
brilliant shade succeeding another.
Half acres In purple, spots of blue,
streaks of yellow one sees this sort
of color effect week after week.

BRINGS HOME GRIM REALITY
Taking It From Babies.
"Every ounce of wheat products In
excess of six pounds per month that

of the starving women and children

8oldlers Seldom Visualize Death Until
They Have Had Their Training
With the Bayonet
Comparatively few of the men In the
training camps have sensed the serious
ness of their Job from book, writes Jo
seph H, Odell, In the Outlook. Nor did
it come to many of tlftm from the for
mal drills, the setting-up exercises, or
the acquisition of military terms and
habits, The reality the grim but
thrilling reality of their business
Came ftom the bayonet.
Men can stand at attention without
paying attention; they can form col
Ininns of fours automatically ; they can
salute ns n matter of easily acquired
habit ; they can learn the bugle calls by
subconscious absorption ; but no man
can wield the bayonet without visualiz
ing dentil. The first nnd chief duty of
tin; bayonet Instructor is to make men
visualize death their own or their
foe's. "You must get him before he
gets you ; It's him or you, him or you,
him or you 1"
Then the ghastly seriousness of the
business comes over the recruit; the
dreadful alternative flashes along every
nerve, and commands the muscles of
the eyes, the legs, and the arms as they
have never been commanded before. It
searches his soul nnd marks him as a
coward or a man ; it puts deep lines on
his face nnd galvanizes his will; It
changes him almost Instantaneously
from a civilian to a soldier.

His Last Years Busy Though Peace
ful Ones and Death Result of
Act of Self-Sacrifice.
The closing years of the life of John
Bunyan were peaceful, unlike In that
respect the years that had gone before,
but they were busy years, devoted to
preaching, to the work of a pastor and
teacher. Of these closing years,
Froude, In his "Life of Bunyan," ed
ited by John Morley, writes, "Happy
In hla work, happy In the sense that
his Influence was dally extending
spreading over his own country, and to
the far-off settlements In America, he
spent his last years In his own land
of Beulah, Doubting Castle out of
sight, and the towers and minarets of
Emmanuel '..and growing nearer and
clearer as the rnys went on."
His end was brought about by ex
posure when be was engaged in an act
of charity, A quarrel had broken out
In a family at Beading with which
Bunyan had some acquaintance. The
father and son were at variance, and
In the hope of reconciling them Bun
yan journeyed from Bedford to
Beading on horseback. He succeeded,
but at the cost of his life.
Returning by London, he was over
taken on the road by a storm of rain
nnd drenched to the skin. This
brought on a chill. He reached the
house of a London friend, Mr. Strud
wlck, but he never left his bed after
ward. In ten days he was dead. The
exact date Is uncertain. It was to
wards the end of August, 1088, be
tween two and three months before
the landing of King William. Bun
yan was sixty years of age. He was
burled In Mr. Strudwlck's vault In
the burying ground at Bunhlll Fields.
CAME FROM DAMAGED STOCK
Idea of Blotting taper Was the Direct
Result of Act of Careless
Workman.
Blotting paper, like many another
valuable discovery, was found entirely
by accident. One day In a paper mill
In Berkshire, England, a careless work
man forgot to put In the sizing and It
was necessary to throw out the entire
lot as spoiled. Later the angry pro
prietor sat down to write a note and
possibly for reasons of economy used a
sheet of the condemned paper. To his
Increased annoyance the ink spread all
over the pnper and he was about to
give up in disgust when the thought
struck him that It might be possible to
use the paper for absorbing Ink in
place of the sand then universally used.
After some successful experimenting
he was able to dispose of his entire
damaged stock under the name of blot
ting paper.
From that time on blotting paper
came into general use. At first It was
always pink In color, red rags being
used. Bed was a fast color and diffi
cult to blench, hence the red rags were
useless In manufacturing writing pa
paper. But ns tho color of blotting pn
per did not Interfere with its useful
ness, red or pink was as good a color
ns any other, and thus provided a
means of utilizing otherwise wasted
material.
GLASS STAINED BY X-RAYS
Experiments Have Shown These Pro
duce the Same Effect as the
Light of the Sun.
It Is well known that glass exposed
for long to sunlight acquires a violet
tint. In very old houses the windows
facing south nre often distinctly vio
let. Experiments recently made in the
laboratories of the General Electric
company at Schenectady with X-rays
prove that these can be used to dye
glass In many colors, principally an
amethystine violet and an amber yel
low, but also green and bright yellow.
These colors, nceordlng to Mr. Ro
senthal, who conducted the experi
ments, nre due to modifications of the
physical structure of the glass and not
to chemical alterations. The color can
be made to penetrate to any desired
depth, from a mere surface tint to
complete coloration of the entire sub
stance. And the same method can he
applied to tinting porcelain, enamel
nnd precious stones.
An interesting nnd Important fact
nbout this glass that has boon colored
by long exposure to X-rnys la that It
becomes Impervious to the radiations
thnt have transformed It. Thus it can
be used as a protection against the
glare of the sun or the snow and
against the X-rays themselves.
