TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. SEPTEMBER 13, 1917. — - THROWING THE DART. AMERICA’S GREAT NEED. OUR NATIONAL FORESTS, Vsnica and Cork, For Différant Rea son», Observa Thia Old Custom, Toaohing That Will L,ad to Content ment and Stability. Th«y Are 153 In Numbar and Ara Scat tered Over Nineteen States. No steam boiler Is safe without its provision against overpressure. A per fectly even application of its power to the work it Is doing is not possible. All through mechanics runs this same necessity of safeguarding against the surplus of force which must be generat ed to accomplish the work which the machine Is set to do. The safety valve for steam power and the fuse for elec tric circuits are mechanical essentials. Sanity, national as well as individual, demands balance. It demands men and women who unite with special practical efficiency in producing an equal skill and wisdom in using products. The most vitally important question of our Immediate future 1 b not what wealth and leisure can we achieve as an aver age for our people, but what shall we do with the wealth and leisure which as an average we do secure. It is assumed in our educational thought that with more money and leisure will come more contentment and stability. These will only come to a people prepared to secure and under stand them. Unless our schools give their pupils this preparation we shall some day need a cataclysm to show us the eternal fitness of things.—Ii«x:hester Post-Express. Under authority of an act of congress passed in 1891 the president of the United States is empowered to set apart public lands bearing forests as public reservations. The primary pur poses of the national forests are to in sure continuous production of timber and favorable conditions as to flow of water. As means to these ends strict supervision is maintained over the sale of mature timber, and the forest areas ■re guarded against fire. These areas are much used by camp ers, hunters and fishermen. "Recrea tion maps” are issued, which not only present maps of many of the national forests, showing towns, streams, roads and trails, but contain Information per taining to camp sites, fish and game, and campers’ registers are kept at the headquarters of the forest supervisors. The national forests, 153 In number, are scattered over nineteen states, Alaska and Torto Rico. All but two of •these states, Florida and Michigan, lie west of the Mississippi. The total area of national forest land, excluding that of other lands within national for est boundaries, is 244,189 square mile«. This area is nearly as great as that of the state of Texas, or of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, District of Co. lumbla, Virginia and West Virginia combined, or of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin combined. In widely differing communities— Venice and Cork—there obtains a curi ous ceremony, that of throwing the dart. In the first case this Is an ancient custom signifying the marriage of the Adriatic. Every year since 1177, on Ascension day, Venice has been made the bride of the sea, and the throwing of the dart is a picturesque feature of a picturesque ceremony. Equally Interesting are the circum stances attaching to the similar func tion on thé first Thursday of Septem ber in Cork harbor, Ireland. By virtue of a clause in the city charter the mayor of Cork is constituted admiral of the port. Every three years he must evidence his jurisdiction by throwing a dart into the seat. At 2 o'clock In the afternoon the mayor, the town council, all the civic officers and the band of the Cork civil artillery embark on a vessel and pro ceed to a point between Poor bead and Cork head, which is held to be the maritime boundary of the borough. Ttie mayor dons bls official robes and, attended by the mace and sword hearer, the city treasurer and the town clerk, likewise wearing their official robes, goes to the prow of the vessel and launches Into the sea a dart made of mahogany tipped and winged with bronze, in this way asserting bls ali tbority as lord high admiral of tile port.—Argonaut VENOMOUS SEA SNAKES. MEANING OF HORSEPOWER And How a Person In Lifting Weight May Expend That Fores. It has been estimated that to lift 550 pounds on« foot In one second requires what is known as one horsepower. Similarly a horsepower Is able to raise twice that weight one foot in twice the time or one-half foot in just that time. Moreover, It can raise half 550 pounds one foot in half a second or two feet in a second, and so on. Therefore, if you lift one-quarter of that weight, 137*4 pounds, four feet in one second you are exerting a horsepower. Accordingly, when a person who weighs 137*4 pounds runs upstairs at the rate of four feet a second he is ex erting the equivalent of a horsepower. For a man weighing twice that much, 275 pounds, It would be necessary to climb at the rate of only two feet a second to exert a horsepower. It is poesibls to do much more. As a matter of fact, a horse often exerts many times a horsepower. The aver age horse can draw a wagon tip a hill where a ten horsepower engine with the same load would fall. A horse power does not represent the greatest momentary strength of the average horse, but is a measure of the power which he can exert continuously.— Syracuse Herald. EAT ORANGES AT NIGHT.
