Sample of Terrible Price That Is Some-

His face always wore the same ex
pression—the look of the stoker who
comes to the deck for a breath of fresh
air. His business was, once every
second, to give a certain machine a
twist in order that a piece of wire might
bend into a circle. He had done this
sort of thing so long that two fingers
had acquired a peculiar hardened
curvature. One shoulder was lower
than the other. He knew no other busi
ness.
It seems that the man bad had an
unusual boyhood. While others were
at their sport, his hours were spent in
passionate reverie. The literature of
romantic chivalry, the story of fol
lowers of the Cross, the fine heroism of
soul-starving deeds for others claimed
him and made him tremulous with as
piration. He knew of nothing larger,
more captivating for him than a life
eked out in some remote field of self-
sacrifice for the redemption of the hu
man race. And to tills he pledged him
self. But then his father died. Ruin
was the specter at the funeral feast.
An unnamed Nemesis pursued him, try
as he might to keep faith with himself
and the call of mortal hunger. Self-
sacrifice.

FOOD FOR ALL THE WORLD

Concerning the value of banana flour
there is no possible question. Henry

Africa, tested that matter thoroughly.
For something like two yeurs It was
one of the staple foods on which he
lived, and his testimony regarding it
is both cleur and convincing, though
the flour he hnd was made in the most
primitive fashion, by the natives
among whom he was living, and was
not comparable, save in the single
particular of cost, with the flour that
has been produced and is being pro
duced today in New York city.
The world's available supply of ba
nanas is practically inexhaustible.
Growing wild as the banana does with
all the excessive prodigality of trop
ical vegetation, In localities far out
side the ken of civilization, there Is
no way of estimating the possible ex
tent of the annual crop, but It may be
said that enough bananas to feed the
world grow somewhere each year.
Moreover, modern science has dis
covered the methods by which táis

tlally ripe fruit in such fashion that

It Is strange that the novice will al

This Is decidedly the incorrect meth

In fact, anyone will arrive ultimately

Raven Not Extinct in England.

papers, that the raven 1 b practically
extinct in England, has been denied by
a dweller on Exmoor. The raven, ac

means, rare in Somerset, where he Is
often seen and heard. The story of
his having a dummy nest to mislead
marauders is due to a misunderstand

Twelve days In the history of Amer,
lea are blank, an exchange remark*.
If you should try to learn wlmt hap-
pened in the period between Septem
ber 3 and September 13, 1752, you will
find no records, for those dates do not
exist. Under the old style calendar,
September 2, 1752, fell on Wednesday.
The next day the Gregorian or new
style calendar was adopted by Great
Britain and her American colonies, and
the date set forward to September 14.
Up to this time the Julian calendar
had been followed by the English-
speaking world. As reformed by Jullu»
Caesar in 46 B. C. it made the year
consist of 365 days and six hours, with
an extra day added to February each
i
fourth year to account for the six
hours. This was the most accurate
calendar year yet devised, but it was.
11 minutes and 14 seconds longer than
the true Bolar year of 365 days, 5 hours.

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to Bo
the Best Backing That Can
Be Employed.
The electrician is frequently re
quired, in the installation of wires tn
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the plastered walla
or ceilings. Before these holes can be
replastered some sort of backing must
be put in which will take the place of
the lath. The majority of men makd
use of old rags or paper for this pur
pose.
The writer, in replastering holes,
uses a backing of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about one-quar
ter inch larger than the hole to b»
filled, and when pressed into it will be
found to make a good, stiff backing, as
the edges hold It firmly in place. Far
less plaster will be necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost of the wire screen,
and a more workmanlike and durable
job is obtained.—W. F. Perry, in Elec
tric World.
Protection for Birds.
Some twenty states of the Union
have provided bird sanctuaries, or
laws for the protection of migratory
birds on their long flights in search
of feeding pluces. The matter has
even been made the subject of an in
ternational treaty between the United
States and Canada affecting practi
cally all birds that regularly migrate
between the two countries.
The
treaty provides. In effect, that no bird
Important to agriculture because of
insect-destroying proclivities shall be
shot at any time. Second, that no
open game season on any species of
game shall extend for a longer period
than 8% months. Third, that both
the countries shall so restrict open
seasons on game birds as to prevent
them from being taken during the
breeding season.
Noah’i Ark In China.
A curious Chinese picture Is of great
antiquity, and is supposed to repre
sent Noah’s ark on the top of Mount
Ararat. As is well known, the re
ligious literature of almost every na
tion and race contains an account of •
deluge, but a Chinese manuscript re
cently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded in the Bible.
It Is particularly Interesting In that
the roof of the Chinese ark Is of the
gable variety associated with the
Noah’s arks which prove such enter
taining toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however, shows a dou
ble-storied vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in th»
roof, there are windows In every pos
sible space. It would be Interesting
If some Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date of th»
