quick as lightening and of a sil
very white hue. Termites, infor
mation disclosed, are white or
light colored but not silvery. Also
they more, closely resemble an
ant and are frequently erron
eously called white ants.
Acts Like Termite
The Silverfish is only slightly
smaller than the earwig but is
much flatter and moves much
more rapidly. It belongs to the
sub-order Thrysanura of the or
der Aptera and lives among
books, papers, linens and cottens.
Whether or not it is very de
structive to these is a mooted
question. Since the insect came
up for discussion, a number of
householders have reported see
ing some of them from time to
time in attics, old chests and
other containers in which papers
or clothing were stored.
Local scientists are of the opn
lon that termites will not enter
the Silverton country In any de
strumtive number for at least a
score of years. They base this
theory on the method in which
the insect works In belts and the
space it covers in a given time.
Silverton folk add that they hope
California, with all her insect
and quarantine laws, will dis
cover some way of exterminat
ing the insect before the 20 years
are up.

a sacramentary of choir books,

The task of removing the man
uscripts from the backs of the
books was a very laborious one,
hours being necessary sometimes
to remove only -a few Inches.
Specially designed tools were
used in the work. Dr. Schmidt
said that the pigments and inks
used seemed generally resistant
to water- and some of the glues
even resisting solvents.
Dr. Schmidt's estimate Is that
some of .the manuscript frag

old. He is now seeking a restor
