Owner Dazed at Offer for
Stamp on Torn Envelope
' I? this worth an;, thing orn
lino that?''
As 1 m poke, the man laid the
turn end of an old envelope on
the counter and looked up at us
Yii'ih jn.n a trace of belliaerence
in his e;. cs.
The piece had been torn in
Jlidi a v. ay that a corner of the
three-i ent stamp was mining but
tiie adjacent stamp, a seven-cent
Hem. was still intact.
"Yes." said Fred, the owner
of the stamp shop. " It s worth
something, though not so much
as it would be if the three-cent
stamp hadn't been torn."
"The most I can gi e tji is
$7."), ' he said.
'I he man looked as if he had
n't, heard correctly.
"It isn't the tear on die three
rent stamp that makes it so bad,"
Fred explained. -'That wouldn't
be worth more than a dollar or -two
anyway. But its hrnv close
the trar come to this California I
Fenny Post item. Though the !
tear missed it, it came so close'
that it won't have a good quar-j
ter-inch margin all around when !
FIVE-MILL PIECE WITHOUT
"A five-mill piece: There's no
such thing." said the man stand
ing next to me.
"I can show ru one." replied
the fellow just beyond him.
"That is. 1 will if you make it :
worth my while,"
"Okay," said the doubter.
"But let's understand our terms.
A mill is a thousandth of a dol
lar. So five-mill piece would
be five-thousandths of a dollar, j
Right:-
"Right you are. Five thous-'
andths or two hundredths of a :
dollar." I
"Right." j
There was the snap of metal j
on the mahogany, and presently
I saw a copper coin lying about
two feet away. The man next to,
me picked it up.
"Liberty. 1796." he said, read-j
lng the legend on the face of the
coin. The lettering was clear,
surrounding the Liberty heid
with a cap resting behind it. "It
says nothing about any mills
here."
He turned the coin over.

The owner looked somewhat
da.ed, and Fred went on to ex
plain about the oval-shaped
stamp with the words "PAID
SEVEN CENTS" in the renter,
surrounded by the legend "CALI
FORNIA PENNY POST COM
PANY." The firm was one that operat
ed in San Francisco, Marysville
and other central California ci
ties back in the mid-1 3."irjs. It
picked up and delivered local
mail for the U. S. Post Office and
sold L". S. stamped envelopes on
which it impressed its own
stamps.
"If this were a perfect cut
square stamp, with generous
margins. I'd be able to get $200
for it," Fred went on. "But as it
K I won't get over SI 2.1. So $7j
is the best I ran offer."
"Ill take it." the main said,
"but what would the whole orig
inal envelope be worth un
tornn" "Id give you at least S200,"
said Fred.
CAP WORTH FIVE-HUNDRED
"See." said his companion,
pointing to the wording on the
reverse. "It says "HALF
CENT" right in the middle of
the wreath. Am I right or
wrong0"
"But that lfn't mills. It. does
n't say nulls."
"All right." replied the owner
of the coin. "But it says 1 200th
just below the wreath. And we've
agreed that five mills and
l200ths are the same."
"Okay, okay," said the first
man. "I'll buy the drinks. But
how about the coin, too? How
much for that?"
"Sure." said the other. "You
can have it for S350, but not a
cent less."
No money changed hands.
though the price was not out of
line. There was a cap behind the j
Liberty head on the face of the ;
coin, and I had noticed that no j

Neill Our girl wants to
"discuss'' forever.
Fay The strain's ton much
for me.
Neill Our 1 1 year-old daugh
ter. Pat. is giving us a very hard
time with interminable discus
sion of her favorite subject
men. Jly wife has evidently got
ten the idea from some new book
that we owe it to her as good
parents to give all our time to
her favorite subject and answer
all her questions in infinite de
tail and endless repetition.
I feel that we are asking fur
big trouble if ue do not assert
ourselves now and make Pat
understand that she cannot dom
inate the household by holding
forth at her pleasure and put
ting us through the third degree
again and acain. When I sug
gest that one of Pat's outbursts
is out of order, my wife over
rules me and encourages Pat to
go on, only to reach the point
of loud desperation later on in
the proceedings, when I must
assume the role of peacemaker.
If we could have a little united
or at least, well-timed firmness,
I think we could bring Pat
around to rational conduct, but
my wife swings from revolt to
surrender, without being able to
make up her mind about a res
olute stand.
Fay If Neill would meet Pat
halfway, and if 1 did not have
to carrv the strain alone. I would ,
not blow up when she presses!
me too far. Pat 15 l:Ro ;i ,it of'

would .he so tedious and un-j
relenting about it if Xeill did
not make it plain to her that he '
considered her too young for that i
kind of discussion. :
Pat wants to know just what ;
kind of man we will let her
nrarry. That may seem childish,
hut it docs seem to show that
Pat feels ery insecure about
her relations with her parents,
something I feel we should cor
rect without delay.

Airplane Propeller
Thought Here To Slay
Buffalo. N Y. UP' Research
at the Cornell Aeronautical Lab
oratory indicates tiiat despite the
increasing trend toward .jet en-
! gines the airplane propellor may
i not go out of style.
I Perfection of a propeller blade
that can drive a plane at super
sonic speeds is the aim of ex
periments currently under way
at the lab.
According to an article in the
institution's quarterly publica
tion. Research Trends, the new
tvpe of blade will be as flexible
as that of a carving knife. One of
the difficulties to be overcome in
research work is the tendency
possessed by thin blades to set
up high amplitude vibrations
that cause severe stress. This, in
turn, might cause failure from
blade fatigue.
The blade also must be able to
stand the strain of rotating at
some 8,000 revolutions per min
utes. Under testing conditions, the
blades are rotated in a steel
chamber that contains a partial
vacuum similar to the pressure
at 100,000 feet altitude.
Thin propellor blades have
demonstrated in wind tunnel
tests efficiency at trasonic and
supersonic speeds. Powered by
turbojet engines, they may pro
vide high-speed, long-range flight
with considerable fuel economy
over jets.

1 Preo recently won one that be
': gan in 1951 and is currently in
i another that isn't expected to
end until 19f0.
Preo. an Owens-Illinois Glass
Co. employe, recently took the
honors in the 19th Grand Na
tion al Correspondence Chess
Tournament. The tournament
began in 1951, and he won eight
matches in the first, state round.
Then he took nine games and
drew the 10th in the second re-
gional round to qualify for the
j seven-game championship round
! with eight chess masters out of
! a starting field of 1.000..
j The games are necessarily
; long because they are played by
jmail and each move is made by
letter. Both players keep rec
ords of the moves and since
there are 30 to 50 moves in a
single game, it usually takes a
month to complete one.
With the 19th championship
under his belt, Preo is currently
entered in the 20th Grand Na
tional, scheduled to conclude in
1957, and the 21st and 23rd. The
23rd began last year and prob
ably will require four years.

Is That So?
I Next time you see a humming-
bird dart in and out of the trum
pets of flowers seeking food.
; remember this: smallest of all
; warm-blooded animals, this little
j fellow eats more food and con
sumes more oxygen to produce
more energy than any other
animal living! Proportionately,
that is. After all, he weighs no
; more than a shopworn dime.
Should an elephant's cells, for
example, burn up their fuel at
the same rate, the ponderous
packyderm would collapse and
die within minutes from over
heating . his system simply
i couldn't begin to throw off the
; heat generated fast enough.
Having the highest rate of
! metabolism among warm-blood-I
ed animals, each gram of the
'hummingbird's tissue metab
olizes 15 times as fast as that
of a pigeon, and more than 100
times as fast as that of an el
ephant. This ultra-high speed of metab
; olism better said, this high rate
of living, is at a tremendous cost:
the little fellow's food consump- j
tion must be enormous. As a
result, he it is destined to devote '
most of each day to ccthering !
; food nectar and insects, main- ;
j ly. Deprived of his rich food for j
only a day, he would starve.
What then happens 1o this j
j supercharged bird during thei
; night? How then does it prevent i
, starvation?
As with all rrratiiiTS, a most
curious and wonderful adiust
7-28-5
ment takes place. To avoid over
night starvation, the bird hi
bernates. That is, it becomes
completely torpid at midnight
you could walk up to the tree
on which it was perched and
pick it off its branch like a fruit,
practically inert and insensible,
scarcely able to move, and when
it does stir, it moves as though
frozen.
Temperature Dropi
Taking its body temperature.
Dr. Oliver P. Pearson of the Uni
versity of California, has found
thai ii dropped almost 30 degrees
from around the daytime tem
perature of 105 degrees Fahr
enheit to 75. Thus, by the simple
expedient of slowing down all
body processes to almost one
fifteenth of its late afternoon
activity the hummer is able to
stretch its food stores from dusk
to dawn. And remain alive.
Then, just before daylight, the
bird s body automatically returns
to its normal temperature and its
former high metabolic rate is
restored. By early morning, it
is asain warm, awake, and ready
to dart off in search of its life
saving food. And, in a hurry.
Because of its tremendous
energy demands, most humming
birds live in the tropics where
nights remain warm. A few how
ever are found in the high Andes
where n,ight temperatures are
; frequently well below freezing, i
I How do they manage to live dur- !
; ing their overnight hibernation ;
; there and not freeze? By the !
1 simple expedient of retreating
: at night into caves. '
j As far as I know, no other
i bird hibernates overnight like
j the hummingbird. A mammal,
the bat. does it however in re
verse; it forages by night and
slows to torpor by day.
! The hummingbird's greatest
j consumption of energy, it is be
llieved, occurs when it is hover
ing around 55 completed
strokes per second about six
times that while resting. And,
as anyone who has watched the
I hummingbird can tell you it sits
for only short intervals. It must
; be off eating, and that entirely
, on the wing.
I When flying, it is believed the
rate of energy consumption drops
i a little like an airplane, once
the bird is in forward motion it
i does not have to expend so much
I energy to stay aloft.

Ranger-Naturalist
which has puzzled birdmen re
mains: how does the tiny ruby
throated hummingbird w h i c h
spends its summers in the eastern
U.S. and winters in Central
America, get across the Gulf of
Mexico during its annual migra
tions a distance, at the shortest
point of more than 500 miles:
Some ornithologists contend it
can't be done: the bird must fly
around the shoreline because it
could not carry fuel to make
such a nonstop flight across the
Gulf.
Others say, nonsense. And
many people have repeatedly
seen flights of hummers head
out over the Gulf. Surely, they
contend, these birds were not
heading out for a flight which
was sure to be fatal0
There is a possibility how
ever. Carrying fuel reserves in
the shape of body fat say a
gram at most, would yield nine
calories. On this, it is estimated
that the bird could fly seven
hours and 42 minutes. At 71
miles an hour- as timed hv
Charles L. Whittle, who observed
one male ruby-throated chasing
another this would carry them
55G.7 miles. But surely, they
could never maintain this break
neck speed. . .
Well, you figure it out.
