THROWING THE DART.
AMERICA’S GREAT NEED.

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

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

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.—
