Im provem ent on Nature
I f experiments at present In prog­
ress prove satisfactory, In time to
come steam boilers will not be used
to work big power plants—mercury or
i sulphur vapors w ill be employed In­
stead.
The Idea Is that such vapors Involve
much higher temperatures than even
superheated sfeam, and the higher
the temperature, of course, the great­
e r the power produced.
The hot vapors, after driving a tnr-
Iblne, will be condensed, yielding their
heat to water, thus generating steum
for use In Its turn.
This century has been a wonderful
one for the chemical industry.
Even new materials have been pro­
duced. writes Mr. Harrison E. Howe
In "These Eventful Years." The de­
mand for silk at a low price lias
brought about the production of a rti­
ficial silk. The liber looks like silk,
land answers the purpose of s ilk ; yet
i t Is made from wood pulp or even
cotton.
In the plant world science Is Im­
proving on nnture.
On sugar cane
iplanleflons it has been found that a
certain kind of paper, when spread
over the rows, discourages weeds and
thus minimizes hoeing.
The eane shoots can push through
this specially prepared paper, which Is
tough enough to prevent quite effec­
tively the growth
of soft-topped
i weeds.

"G etting In to Scrape"
Has Various Meaning»
The phrase "get Into a scrape” can
be traced back as fur as 1709. Rich­
ard Steele used It In “T he T n tle r” and
It Is said to have originated from the
notion of huving been scraped In go­
ing through a narrow passageway, but
this Is pure conjecture.
Scrnpe In
dialectical English designates a trap
and is much older, and to this day the
¡word is used for a lure for birds In
,cold weather, says the Fam ily H er­
ald.
According to Lowsley’s “Glossary of
Berkshire Words and Phrases,” scrapes
• re of two kind s: the first Is un old
door supported by a stick under which
corn Is pluced, and the stick being
pulled by a long string the door falls
on the birds. The second Is made by
placing corn where snow has been
swept sway, and birds, when congre­
gated, are shot In numbers,, being en­
filaded along the scrape.
Worlldge In Ins (’lrilonnry, edited
In 1881, describes a scrape as "a place
baited with chaff or corn lo entice
birds." To get Into a scrape is to get
Into an awkward, emharrussing or
troublesome predicament.
Toxins are the poisons e f dtseMs
and produce the symptoms common to
the disease after circulating through
the blood.
Antitoxins are subetances that work
against or neutralize the toxins In
any given cases, and they are pro­
duced by the use of the bacteria of
the toxins. These are Injected Into
an animal, usually a horse. In Increas­
ing doses, until It becomes habituated
to them and la no longer made 111 by
them. The Immunity or resistance re­
I sides In the blood, which has now de­
veloped a defense mechanism against
the poison.
T he animal’s blood Is then drawn off
In small quantities, filtered and puri­
fied. Thia blood la In turn Injected
Into the blood of a man, where II
exerts the same protecting Influence
against the particular toxin by which
It was produced as It did In the horse.
This Is very briefly the nature and
mode of operation of antitoxic se­
rums. The use o f an antitoxin In
diphtheria has already saved count­
less lives and has changed the once
dreaded and fatal disease to a rather
simple complaint I f diagnosed early
anil treated with antitoxin.
The discoveries of the Dicks and of
Dochei promise to give the same re­
lie f from scarlet fever when methods,
originated only In 1924, are perfected
for this particular disease.— D r. W ai­
te r 'll. James In the Outlook.

Marvel» of Jelly-Fhh
The Jelly-fish has a truly wonderful
wuy of reproducing Its species. Ia
most cases the beginning Is an egg,
which, lying on the bottom, p ro d u c t
a beautiful tree-llke growth.
The
"tree” fastens Itself to the bottom and
brings forth buds which, when ripe,
drop off and develop Into jelly-flsh.
The latter In turn lay eggs and the
process Is repeated. Moet of the very
large species have a different way of
reproducing themselves. The egg la
set free In the w ater and develop« Into
a pear-shaped larva, which for a while
swims about rapidly, being provided
with halr-llke appendages that serve
the purpose of ears. Then the larva
settles down, nnchors Itself to the bot­
tom, Increases In size rapidly, and
finally splits up Into thin, flat discs
which swim off and grow up Into large
Jelly-fishes.

JOHN SCHIMKE
Hcpplewhlte was one of the eminent

flourished under the reign of the
Georges In England, and whose furnl
lure was In vogue about the time of
the American Revolution. When he
died In 1788 his w ife carried on his
work and produced other pieces anil
original designs that were very popu­
la r for several decades. Much of the
Hepplewblte work was done In m i

But the Roman Catholic traditions of
another country house, the chronicles
of which have Just been published, ure
even more rcnmrkahle than those of
Baddesley Clinton. At East Hendred
house, nesr Abingdon, there Is a pri­
vate chapel In the grounds which has

! Church’t M odest Beginning
In about the year 1780 the first
Methodist church In the United States
was built In Kent county, Deluware. It
was called B arratt's chapel and Is as
•olid today ns on the day It was opened
fo r divine worship. The land It occu­
pies was deeded for the purpose by
-Philip B arratt, In M urderklll Hundred.
Here In 1774 Bishop Thomas Coke of
the Methodist church met Bishop Frnn-
ids Asbury, the la tte r the first man In
America ordained by the Methodists
Ito the Episcopal olHce. Out of the
meeting grew a plan to carry Method-
'ism all over the United States. The
first native Methodist minister In
America Is said to have been Richard
'Owen of M aryland. One of the most
fam ous of such ministers was “Father”
Joshua Thomas, who for the better
part of a half-century traveled up and
down the Chesapeake In a big “hug
yye,” ns the long, narrow, and very
staunch boats of a certain type are
called, preaching to the Islanders, moat
ef whom were and are fishermen.
