WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Profewcr Has
h'adc Public the Results of In
vestigations He Has Made.
In numerous descriptions of the ex
periences of man la the course of
more nr less prolonged fastin?, one
meets the repeated assertiou thai aft
er a brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever is felt. Since It has
been well-established that the sensa
tion of hunger is Induced by a certain
type of touic and peristaltic contrac
tions of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, it must be assumed either
that these contractions are abolished
lis a fast proceeds or that the sensa
tions are decidedly moditied.
A pr. 'fessor of the University of
Chicatr.) has lately had au exceptional
ippor;unity to investigate these ques
t!o;i. As the result of careful ob
servations on man during prolonged
intentional starvation, he found that
during the l"i days' complete fast and
the subsequent eight days of absti
nence from food with daily ingestion
of cotton fiber, the gastric hunger con
tractions of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
intensity; but the subjective sensa
tions induced by the gastric contrac
tions appeared to be somewhat weak
ened nad tinged with an elemeut of
general epigastric distress or sick
stomach.

; To a "cheoehakn," which. In the ver
nacular of Alaska, sljinities an Indi
vidual who, in the days of the storied
West, would have been called a "ten
derfoot," falls the distinction of Intro
ducing trapping de luxe Into the
North.
Harry Beagle, not long from the
"outside," conceived the idea of set
ting out on a trapping expedition In an
automobile Instead of by dog team.
Frank Burgess went with him. Load
ing their outsit Into a light car, the
pair set out for the Big D;lta country,
despite snow and almost impassable
roads.
So far ns is known nt Fairbanks, the
idea has proved a fiows.
Dangers for Game Fish.
The great cause ot the decline in fis!
life in a stream is the pollution of the
stream' and for this there is neiilu.-
palliation nor excuse. A writer iu A"
Outdoors says it is true that a broo'
:V river is a convenient place into wide:
to throw refuse. The people of medi
eval cities thought the same of theii
streets until plague and pestilence
taught them better and InsUUed the
elements of hygiene into their minds.
Such ignorant negligence was a s'gn
of their unenllghtennient, yet, with all
of our boasted civilization, we are but
u step In advance when we convert our
sparkling streams iato noisome sewers.
ENJOY SINGING IN CHORUS INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE
Why Children Should Be Encouraged
to Take Part in Exercises of
Juvenile Glee Club.
Anyone who has watched a class of
schoolchildren singing their Bongs to
gether, or the members of a juvenile
glee club raising their voices In mel
ody, knows to how great an extent chil
dren enjoy expressing themselves mu
sically. It is perhaps one of the few
times when they begin to get an ap
preciation of what concerted action
means la creating strength and power
bo.th for the individual as well as the
group. Tou seldom get a child to stand
up and sing alone, but place him
among a large group of children and
note the change in him the change in
his expression, his bearing and his
whole altitude.
It Is therefore a cause for much en-
couragement to hear the news that peo
ple are growing interested in commu
nity choruses for children. The move
ment for grownups has become wide
spread and its good results have been
appreciated by all who have taken nn
itetive part in it. The question natur
ally arises, then, why wait until a per
son is grown up before you let him
take part in that which undeniably is
beneficial to him? Why not give the
child an opportunity to musically ex
press himself before he has grown too
self-conscious to do it freely?

Many Small Creatures Make Contribu
tions to the Country's Wealth of
No Insignificant Amount.
We have many Insect products of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
nud wax from the bee.
There Is also a Chinese bug which
secretes, a kind of grease on various
trees. This- hardens into wax, and is
collected, melted and purified, when it
becomes white and glossy In appear
ance, and when mixed with oil can be
made into candles. The cochineal, a
scale Insect living on cacti in the Amer
ican tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is em
ployed in coloring soldiers' uniform-;,
as it stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae of a Mex
ican black fly which swarms in great
quantities near Lake Tcxcoa are used
as .fertilizer. No enlargement Is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm a native of China which- is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substauce produced by nn East Indian
scale insect and deposited In a crust
on twigs to contain the insect ami Its
eggs. The export value of lac from
; Indian ports in one year has risen as
! high ns 33,000,000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is a growing one, the em
ployment of lac in maklug dyes has
probably had its day. The best lac is
obtained from Bengal tad the central
province of India. It is also used as
stiffening for hat3, sealing wax, as an
Ingredient of lithographic ink, In elec
trical vork and in the manufacture oi'
gramophone records.
John C. l'rown and son Edward
came down from Walla Walla the
past week to remain here for
several days. They have been sup
erintending some work on their
Heppner property, getting new con
crete walks built and making other
repairs. They have been debating
whether or not to return to Wallu
Walla just now, owing to the
epidemic of Influenza that seems to
have Invaded that city.
Wright Saling was in from the
Bill Hendrlx ranch Monday. He
states that he is so busy these days
getting ready to put in a big crop of
grain that he can't find sufficient
time to do the work. Me had three
big drills all rendy to begin work on
Sunday and just as fast as the
weather will permit he will be put
ting the seed in the ground-on well
prepared summerfallow.
Herman J. O'Neill, draftee, was
up from lone on Monday to undergo
; physical examination before the
local draft board.
D. Cox, Jr., was in Heppner on
Saturday with his family. Mr. Cox

SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA
Beginning of tha Yjar U a Time of
Rejaicing Throughout the
Whole Country,
In the Vniiid Stii.es one knows that
spring has come when he sees boys
playing marbles and flying kites. In
China, says the Christian Science
Monitor, there are regular spring-play-iug
festivals that ull the people huve
a part in and which are especially in
teresting for children.
Just when the spring festival comes
depends on the moon. It Is the be- j
ginning of the year In China, and In ;
the first moon the magistrates and oth-I
er Important persons in the town go
out in a procession "to meet the
spring." 1 !
It is at the lantern festival, the 15th
of the first month, that the children
have the best time. Brightly colored
lanterns are everywhere, at the doors
of shops and houses, and carried in
processions. Boughs of evergreen are
also placed above the doors, and there
is an abundance of "moon cakes," lit
tle round sweet rice cakes.
The boys dress up in all sorts of fan
tastic clothes, sing, dance and give lit
tle plays. They weur musks of ani
mals and of human faces. Companies
of them go about through the streets
of their villages, and from one village
to another. Now and then a group of
maskers will be seen on high stilts.
There Is a very pretty dunce where
ehry dancer curries a lighted lantern..
This is called the lantern dance.
Explaining "Mizps)h."
Mlzpah or Mispch Is the name of
several towns in Palestine. The name
is derived from a verb of the ancient
Hebrew signifying to look or watch
out. The word occurs in several places
In the Old Testament The first men
tion is the most significant. Jacob and
his prospective father-in-law, Laban,
met on a slope of Mt. Gllead and en
tered into a covenant Lahuu had sev
eral times violated his agreement as
to the wages he was paying Jacob,
and Jncob demanded a fair deal. When
they came to an agreement they raised
a monument of stones, which Laban
declared should be called "Galeed, and
Mizpah." "This heap shall be a wit
ness between me and thee this day.
The Lord watch between me and thee,
when we are absent, one from the
other." This passage Is used as a
benediction by the Young People's So
ciety of Christian Endeavor.

British Columbia's Coal.
Writing of the discovery of coal In
British ColumMn, Johnson In his "First
Things In Canada," states : "One day
in December, 1849, an ofllcer of the
Hudson's Bay company in Fort Vic
toria was informed by the foreman of
the blacksmith's shop that nn old Na
naimo Indian chief had just stated that
he knew where there was 'stuff' like
that which the white man wns using In
the blacksmith's fire. The Indian was
told that if he would bring some pieces
of the 'stuff he would have his gun
repaired free and receive a bottle of
rum. The chief reappeared In the fol
lowing April (18.10) with his canoe
laden with coal. A prospecting party
went out and found the coal where the
city of Nanaimo now stands. In 1874
the production of coal from the Na
naimo mines amounted to 1,000 tons;
in 1890 it exceeded 1,000,000 tons.
