When Tim Hung Heavy.
Today, when there la such premium
on time, one finds It bard to realize
the condition portrayed by William
Wistar Comfort in the Bookman:
"In its day and (or two or three cen
turies later 'The Itomance ot the Rose'
was the most popular work composed
In medieval Europe. It consists of
about 23,000 eight-syllable verses in the
old French original. ... That forms .
very considerable poem. A poem in
two volumes would be sufficient in our
day to rebuff most readers. . But think
ot copying out in longhand such a
POemT A, :' :. ,.....-!. -'i
Time was something to be killed by
our ancestors, aud bunds were found
to copy this endless poem almost 200
times. That is to say, we have uear-
200 French manuscripts, of the
Roman do la Rose,' aud that does not
account for all those that must have
been lost in the course of 000 years.
However, the figures give us some idea
of what medieval literary popularity
was."

A physician says, "Girls in feeblt
health should take a tramp through th
woods or fields every day." :
But suppose a tramp should object
to being taken through the woods oi
fields every day by girls in feebh
health? There are two sides to toil

Two Men and a Problem.
When Lord Raylelgh, the British sci
entist, was a student at Cambridge the
examiners set amongtherproblems
one which they based on an article in
German mathematical periodical sup
posed unlikely to have penetrated t
Cambridge. Only two men solved it
Mr. Strutt (Lord Ilaylelgu) and another.
The examiners asked the other man
about this problem. -Oh," he sald.J'I
take the (mentioning the name of
, the periodical), and I was very glad to
And that, thanks to an article in the
last number, that problem came out
flulte easily.",: When Mr. Slrutfs turn
came they expected a similar answer,
but he astonished them by ' replying.
! "The fact is, gentlemen,, tuut I some
times contribute to , and I could
not help feeling greatly flattered that
yon should have thought my little prob
lem worthy of a place in this examina
tion." . He was awurded the prize.
The 8cle on a Map.
Distance on. a map Is measured by
its "scale." By laying a rule on a gov
ernment ,inap and ' ascertaining the
number of inches between two points
the number of miles between them can
readily be calculated. Nearly all maps
are drawn to a scale representing one,
two, three or more miles to the inch,
as the inch is the common unit of meas
urement in the United States by which
the. eye is accustomed to judge dis
tances on paper. ,
A scale of 1:02,500, used In the well
known United States geological survey
tnnncrrnnhlcnl mniiH. denotes that one
Inch on . the -map represents 02,500
inches on the grouna,- wuicn is me ap
nwiTlmntA number of Inches in a mile.
Therefore the scale is, almost exactly,
one inch to one mile. A scale of
1:125,000 is approximately two miles to
one inch, and a scale or i:i,uuu,uuu rep
resents sixteen miles to one Inch.

PACKING- AND STORING- DRIED FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES
(By George Martin, United Press Staff Correspondent)
. Washington, Aug. 17. Now we come, to the packing
and storing of the fruits and vegetables you have dried.
Although not necessary, tin cans or glass jars make
good receptacles for storing dried products.
Pasteboard boxes with tight covers stout paper bags,
and patented parraf in paper cartons also afford ample
protection for dried fruits and things, .when protected
from insects and rodents.
The products must be protected from the outside moist
ure and will keep best in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
In humid regions air tight containers should be used.
v If you pack just enough for a meal in each container, it
will not, be necessary to open a container the contents
of which cannot be consumed in a short time. '
If a paper bag is used the upper part should be twisted .
into a neck, bent oyer and tied tightly with twine. ; You
might also paint it with a brush dipped in melted parra-v
fin. . You might take an added precaution by putting .the
bags in a tin container with a tight fitting cover, such as
lard can or paiL Label all bags to show what they con
tain. ,: - , .. .. . . .... ..
;If fruits or vegetables are packed in tight containers
immediately upon being thoroughly dried they will re
main just as brittle as when taken from the drier. If not
dried thoroughly , they will soon mold. To prevent this
the material should be examined within 24 hours after
packing and if it appears moist it igugt be dried further.

for a refuge to which they may fly

Ocean travel except to the Orient
is practically out of the question,
so the refuge must be found in
