TO BE COMFORTABLE SETfiOVGHCAMPINC •a

‘ca t) HEN you go Into the m w °°ds or mountains to eamp for your vacation, W you must have a com/w ji plete cooking outfit, dry provisions, and plenty °f g an \ c > "hich some member of the Ss|§|i/lb( party will furnish dailyBad cooking has spoiled many a vacation in camp and caused many a backsliding from the outdoor creed and yet there is no particular use in being uncomfortable when camping or in having bad or indigestible food. Kits especially designed for campers can be purchased at a moderate cost and it is wisest to purchase one of these outfits, as often some of the most necessary utensil^ -are liable to be forgotten when the camper is making selections. The kit includes a folding baker, pans with hinged handles, and dishes that fit into one another, so that the whole occupies but little space. The simplest way to cook while in camp is over a fireplace made by digging a hole about one foot deep and two feet square and partly filling it with stones. Build a wall about eight Inches high around three- sides, allowing a small opening at the back for the smoke to escape. z. Os course, if. you have brought a collapsible cooking range with you; the fire can be made in any convenient spot, with fiat, stones on either side. Rest two of the steel bars of the range upon the stones and lay the other two across them. It is a good plan to gather a plentiful supply of wood and keep it in a dry spot. Otherwise, after a rainfall, you may have considerable difficulty in getting the wood to burn. Any sort of wood will do for ordinary cooking, but for broil1. or baking in the hot ashes, you must have coals from hard wood. For the supplies the lists vary a great deal, but the most desirable and nutritious articles that can be easily transported are flour, baking powder, rice, beans, sugar, baking powder, coffee, tea, salt, pepper, bacon, pork, butter, onions, potatoes, raisins and some kind of dried acid fruit—prunes or apricots are good. Vegetables you must get as you can. Condensed soups, especially tomato and tomato-okra, are particularly appetizing. To make good coffee is an art. Manypeople claim that the bent is made in this way: For six cups of strong qeffee, take one cup of ground coffee, mix up with one egg os the shells of two, add a few grains of salt, and six cups of fresh cold water. Place over the fire where it will heat slowly, aiid bring to a boil. Let it boil up three times, stirring well, then place where it will keep hot but not boll until it settles, the addition of half a cup of cold water will settle it more quickly, and the coffee when poured should be clear and strong. Camp bread is one of the tests of the outdoor cook. If you have brought with you a baker, biscuit or bread maybe baked In it. ,If not. you will have to make use of the frying pan for that purpose, covered with a saucepan lid, or even two frying pans. Such a baker must be placed right in the heart of the fire and live coals piled again on top. The commonest fault is in having too much heat; the beginner usually burns the first few batches of biscuit. Camp biscuit are made by mixing one quart of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt, and a small piece of lard or butter, with sufficient water to make a dough

EARTH GRADUALLY DRYING UP Scientific Theory That Water Is Passing Into the Upper Air as Hydrogen, Never to Return. When water is decomposed by radium or by ultra-violet rays it produces hydrogen and peroxide of hydrogen, and it does not form oxygen. Electrolytic decomposition forms oxygen. A German investigator bases a new theory relating to the drying of

Unforeseen Complication. Jimpson, in London, had rung up a well known shop in Paris by telephone to communicate an order on behalf of Mrs. Jimpson. After waiting two hours for the connection to be made, he entered the booth and began. Two minutes later he emerged. “Say, mister,” said he to the 1 attendant, "can’t you put me on a wire that’ll translate what I have to say into French? I can't make that darned jackass on the cither end of the line z

easily handled. Mold inta small, flat cakes, and bake in your baker or on a griddle over a moderate fire. Very convenient for the camper is the prepared flour, which is accurately mixed with the lightening agent, and which only requires wetting with milk or water to make biscuits or pancakes, Add four level tablespoons of butter or lard to a quart of prepared flour with enough milk to make a very soft dough. Drop from the point of a spoon on a hot greased pan. These should be cooked first on one side and then on the other for seven minutes, and should be eaten with butter and syrup. The ordinary formula for pancakes is: A small-sized can of Condensed milk, three cups of flour, half a cup of cornmeal, two eggs, a pinch of salt, and a teaspoonful of baking powder. Be careful, however, to mix the milk and eggs together with some water in one vessel, while you keep the other ingredients in another. Having stirred each mixture, pour them together and continue stirring until all the lumps have disappeared. A little syrup will make the cakes brown better, but too much will make them stick to the griddle or pan, which should be kept well greased. The bean pot is one of the reliances of the woodsman, and beans are ideal baked in a regular bennhole. This must be dug deep and wide and lined with stones. In making the fire hardwood should be employed, and when the fire has been reduced to a bed of coals, remove half of them, insert the bean pot, and pack the coals that were removed closely about the sides and top. Pile the dirt on top of all, stamping* it down well, to make it absolutely airtight. The beans should remain in the hole about 18 hours. Soak one quart of beans in cold water over night. In the morning, drain, cover with fresh water, heat slowly, keeping the wafer below boiling point, and cook until the skins will burst, which is best determined by taking a few beans on the tip of a spoon and blowing on them, when the skins will burst if sufficiently cooked. Drain beans. Scald rind of three-fburths of a pound of fat salt pork, scrape, remove onefourth inch slice, and put in bottom of the bean pot. Cut through rind of remaining pork every one-half inch, making cuts one inch deep. Put beans in pot and bury pork in beans, leaving rind exposed. Mix one tablespoon salt, one tablespoon molasses, and three tablespoons sugar; add one (nip of boiling water, and pour over beans, then add enough more soiling water to cover beans. Cover bean pot and place in the hole. Game can be cooked better in camp than in any restaurant in the world. It is better for hanging at least over night. For broiling, game should be carefully skinned, cleanly drawn, and washed. Then split your bird up the back, flatten it with the side of an

the earth on the fact that one form of decomposition produces oxygen, while the other form does not. Part of the water vapor emitted by the seas is decomposed by the ultra-vio-le,t of the <|un; the hydrogen formed rises toward the high atmospheric strata, and all the water does not return to the surface. Therefore, the quantity of w’ater on the face of the globe is always diminishing ami the earth is incessantly, if gradually, drying.

understand a word I say. Harpers Weekly. One of the Knox Knocks. Philander C. Knox, the secretary of state, received one day in his office a bunch of high-browed newspaper correspondents. In the number was William Hort.r, who stepped to the front with a copy of his paper in which was one of his dispatches under big, black headlines. The dispatch dealt with the affair of the department of state, and ran along glibly as If the writer

axe. salt and pepper it, a:«<l broil It over the coals. Add butter to finish the cooking and browning. For this work you ought to have a broiler, the kind that Clamps down in two halves, one on each side of the bird. If you have an oven large ducks can be roasted in it. In cooking a bird you want sharp heat and continued heat so that the outer tissues may be seared as soon as possible. Fish i,s more difficult to cook than game. The main thing is to have plenty of grease in the frying pan and to keep it hot. Some people prefer olive oil to bacon in camp cooking, and certainly brook trout may be cooked most deliciously in olive oil. Large fish may be embedded in hot ashes and cooked for 30 minutes or longer, according to size. First split your fish open, clean carefully, wash out the interior and season well with pepper and salt and put it in the hot ashes. When done, remove from the ashes, wipe clean with a cloth, aud peel off the burnt outside. A delicious camp dish is a stew of meat, game, birds rice, potatoes, onjons—anything you happen to have —seasoned with plenty of salt and pepper, and a dash of sherry, or a touch of chili sauce. It is hard to go w.-M>ng if you give your stew plenty of time and plenty of water. An hour or two will not be too much; in fact you can go qp cooking your stew day after day, for warming over a stew improves its richness. If you have in your kit a big and little kettle, you can fill the large one with water. put a few stones in the bottom, and set your stew kettle in on top of the stones. This will lessen the danger of burning. The theory of the stew kettle is a -slow fire, a low fire, and a long fire. Let your housekeeping arrangements while in camp be as concise and cleanly as in your home kitchen. Do not throw refuse of any kind —least of all food —around the camp. Burn all garbage every night. Keep everything in its proper placce. Be careful of the fire while in the woods. It is well to be certain before leaving' cj-mp for any length of time that no treacherous spark is lingering behind a log. or under some leaves where it may Tundie a blaze and do untold damage in your absence. In for It. “Always eat the skin of the fruit,” ordered the doctor. “The skin contains essentials that you need." “That may be, doc. But I know I’m going to get my throat allscratched up the first time I try to eat a pineapple with its skin on.” Her Preference. “The leading lady of your company used to do her own cooking.” “I suppose that is one reason why she wants roles with the most ‘dough’ in them.”

To cite one example: On -the north side of the Alps there is a continual falling off in the depth of the lakes and a gradual formation of swamps. Two hundred and fifty years ago there were 149 lakes in the canton of Zurich, today ther are seventy-six. The destruction of the forests and the cultivation of the land partly explain this, but the loss of hydrogen is an important factor. The hydrogen accumulated in the higher atmosphere is diffused in interstellar space. —Harper’s Weekly.

had enjoyed the confidence of Mr. Knox regarding the whole matter. "What do you think of this article?” asked Hoster, exhibiting no modesty as he handed the paper to the secretary of state. "After looking this over,” said Mr. Knox graciously, “I must say, Mr. Hoster, you are the nestor of Washington correspondents.” At this Hoster took on the aspect of a balloon and looked exceedingly pleased until Knox added softly: “Mare’s nester.” —Popular Magazine

'‘Doctor,” she plaintively said, “I want you to tell me just what is, the matter with me." "There is nothing the matter with you,” the.doctor replied, after he had questioned her concerning her symptoms, “except that you need a good rest. Go away- to some quiet place, where you can sit or lie around and be free from worry of any kind. You don’t need medicine. ’ It wouldn't do you any good if you took it.” "Where would you advise me to go?” “Oh, you must suit yourself about that. There are plenty of places where you can go—any place that is quiet, where you can sit or lie around will do.” “Thank you. Do you think Atlantic City would be a good place for me?” “No, don’t go to any place like that. Select some quiet spot where you will not have to worry about dressing or anything of that kind. If you could go up into the woods somewhere, or if you could spend a couple of months an a Montana ranch, it would be the best thing in the world for you.” “Oh! Well. I’ve just had six new gowns made, and if you can’t give me any medicine that will make me feel better I shall go to some other doctor. I never did believe you knew anything, anyhow.” y A Roundabout Explanation. “Have you ever gone into a ticket office to make inquiries concerning the cost of a trip by’boat or by rail?” “Yes." “And have you ever found the young man who was supposed to be on duty there so calmly indifferent that he declined to give you an answer to any of the questions you were bold enough to put to him?” “I have had experience of that kind—yes.

There’s a beautiful lake about six miles ffom here that we want to show you, and there’s Rocky glen, and the Robbers’ cave, and—” “ ’Tain’t no use. child,” broke In Aunt Hepsy. “You’re all just as good an’ kind as you can be, but the sun rises here in the north an’ sets in t ie south, an’ the north star is over in the west, an’ the moon is in the wrong part of the sky, an’ I can’t get things straight to save my life.
