home after one of these flyaway trips, tie found his mol tier in great dial: ess because his father, who had gone oul in the morning for a short time, had

not returned.

"Don’t worry,” chirped Chip. ‘Til find him,” and off he went. He meant what he said, loo, for the the thought that his father was really gone made no impression in iiis funny linl* head. At dusk he came back aubdued and alone, yet half expecting to find his fattier there One glance »t hia mother showed Chip that he mutt provide for her; so the next day

he began.

Long before he had enough food gathered the nuts near by were gone; then he had to take longer journeys from home. He ran far beyond the top of the hill one day and discovered a gieat white house and across, the road from it a aonaller one tilted wc. U

corn.

. Chip sat up Just where he was w h* n he (aught sight of the coveted treasure, ami then with a chirp he skipped (0 tlie corncrib and waa busily slowing the grain in his side pockets Wien he was pounced on hy a great lury, lifted off his feet and carried to the tig white house. Thfie he was dropped at the feet of a smaller fury’ that selxed him In a twinkliwk and ran with him into a large yard. Taking a hasty glance at Ms surroundings. Chip discovered that he could readily make his escape) hy way of a tree that stood, near if he could manage lo get out of thal creature’s mouth. He wrlggleeT’to twist himself out of ihe kitten’s grasp, wiieteupop puss dropped him and iufled hla ears. Chip sprang for the tree, hut the kitten sprang for him and caught him, loo. The foolish puss did not see what he was trying to do, however; and 'so did not think it woi I, while to take him farther from the tree. « 'Only one more chance like that," thought the squirrel, twitching his whiskers, "and i’ll show you a trick." The kitten dropped him again; iwai went Chip up the tree, the surprised and unthinking puss following wiih her stretched out nose close at the end of Chip’s tail. Quickly he led her out on a small branch; out, out, hejond her weight; then, as the cat fell down. Chip sprang up, limbed in another tree, and reached the top soon enough, to see the uutmanouvcied . t on the ground ^u c t where she had I ruck,' hertail switching and her > >' fixed In a comically bewildered tine on the swaying bianth when) eii w; \ g bad, to her, so unexpectedh parted.

ing Actinicity Under Certain Condition*. New York.—A ay-stem to simplify the measuring of light and to eaiahlislt a unit of measurement has been devised by F. M. Steadman, a photographer. which lias attracted the atten lion of teachera of physioa thrqughqut tlie country. Although tlie ayatem wasdevised hy Mr. Steadman for use In hia photography and la not as yet well known, those who have heard it discussed and explained believe in its

rae-rlts.

At a recent lecture before the Pamela Club, Mr. Steadman toid of tbs uses to which tlie theory could be put and showed the value of measuring light In taking photographs wiTere much aneution Is devoted to light aud slisdow effects. Briefly, the theory of Mr Steadman, ts that since all light has an effect in causing g change on chemically sensitized paper, light epuid be measured by tbe number of seconds It takes. to gauge s.uch •

change.

It was said by Mr Steadman In explaining the measuring of light that the present,system of using the candle light as a unit is unsatisfactory, as it necessitates a certain amount of guess work. If A standard sensitized paper could be used and the falnteat change taken the tjme unit required in making the change could be used as the unit for measuring the strength ot the light. Tlie name "actinicity" has already been, ua.cd for the property w hich any object has to cause a chemical change on a sensitized medium, and Mr Steadman suggests that tlie milt of measurement be called an "ac-

, tlno."

The purpose of Mr. .Steadman In giving Ida time to the advancement of his theory, is explained by him In bis book. "Unit Photography,” where he says. “As every pjjjec t about us. even one so indefinite aa the sky, emit* light capable of effecting this chemical change to some degree/this property la evidently a quantitative one, and. aa will he shown, can be measured in simple units This property lias already been termed actinicity. "In taking up the discussion of the unite of actinicity It must be understood that the purpose wf this system Is not to suggest a primary light source of unit power as a standard, but to furnish a practical means of measuring nt:d expressing In simple number* tlie Intrinsic- actinicity of alf light aourcee, as the sdn. the sky. flemes snd *11 vis- j Ible surfaces about us In nature.” MODERN LUMBER JACK A REAL ARISTOCRAT
