There are six miles of four-inch steel tubing in the heating and condensing apparatus, with a heating surface of about three fourths of an qcre. The boiler is rated at 3,000 horse-power by the or dinary system of rating, but is capable of operating continuously at three- , times this capacity and for short periods at four times this rate. When at full load it evaporates 200 tons of water an hour.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT OLD NEPTUNE’S BED Scientists Have Arranged to Make Discoveries . The dlacovery of a plateau only 150 feet below the surface of the water of the Atlantic ocean was recently an nounced. This is only one of many discoveries, made In the last few years, which show that obr knowledge of the ocean bed is remarkably poor. In many books pub lished a quarter of a century ago it was emphatically stated that the ocean j floor is flat, sloping gently here and there, but never broken into ranges like the dry land. Then, in 1901, the cable ship Britan nia discovered a mountain range in the South Pacific which was in every way like a range on the dry land. More recently a range of mountains, known as the Edward VII range, was discov ered in the North Atlantic, its highest peaks only a hundred fathoms below the surface. In the Atlantic, too. is Mount Laura Ethel, whose summit towers near the surface. Several small islands are only the peaks of a mountain range which have broken the surface. The Bermudas rise straight up from a depth of two and a half miles, while St. Helena and As cension island are also mountain peaks. Off the Kuril islands the bottom drops sheer to a depth of five miles, while only a mile or two from the coast of Porto Rico the depth is 27.366 feet. It is curious that although the bot tom of the sea has not changed for a million years, man still knows 'little about it. Many expeditions are now setting out with the object of salvag ing some of the $1,500,000,000 .worth of gold which is hidden in the depths, and these expeditions will, no doubt, make many discoveries concerning undersea scenery. Diving apparatus invented during the last few months enables man to des cend to depths undreamt of ten years ago; but the terrific pressure at great depths is still a great obstacle. Quite as important is the invention of a mer cury vapor lamp, which enables films to be taken at great depths. Experi ments on a lamp that will illuminate a large area at a great depth are also being made. By means of this the diver will be able to see the hillsides cov ered with olive-green seaweed, which a passing eddy turns into a wind-swept pine forest, mountains towering to the surface, volcanoes, plains, and many ‘other features which are associated with the grandest land scenery. Make Money From Pest The extent to which rabbits and hares are a pest to the farmers and stock raisers of New South Wales, Australia, is shown to some extent by the numbers slaughtered each year, notwithstanding which these little animals do immeasurable damage. The flesh of these animals forms a common article of diet both in the cities and towns and in the country, especially in the winter, when large numbers of men are engaged in their capture and treatment. The year 1919-20 was the record year for the export trade, the total value of ex ports being $15,650,000. During that year 6,950,G36 pairs of rabbits and hares valued at $2,600,000 and 9,927,- 240 pounds of skins valued at $13,- 140,000 were exported. It Is estimated that the skins and carcasses exported during that year, added to the num bers killed for local consumption, totaled at least 100.000,000. \ A Woman*s Way An unusual weapon with which to fight a burglar was used by Mrs. Clara Rernick, of Lodi, when she was awak ened by a noise early one morning. Mrs. Remlck, fully satisfied that there was someone in the lipuso, jumped from her bed and, grabbing a feather pillow, dashed into her kitchen and chased a burglar from the room. She made a swing with thq. pillow and struck the fleeing burglar over the head as he darted out of the door and down the back stairs. Then, woman like, she removed the pillow case and put it in the weekly wash before re turning to her bed. She was so aervous over her encounter that she forgot to telephone for an officer. — Sacramento Bee. Pigs That Speak French Some time ago a French girl visited some farmers ia Illinois. She heard two boys quarreling. When asked the cause of the misun derstanding the older boy said: “Well, you see, mademoiselle, that’s about old man Tyson’s pigs. I was telling Bud those pigs are French, and he said they are not.” The foreigner, rather puzzled, in quired, “What makes you think Mr. Tyson’s pigs are French?” “Well,” answered the boy. “because from morning till evening those pigs grunt oui-oui.” Brazil Advertising Business interests in Brazil, one of the large coffee producing countries, have turned to advertising as a means of coping with the so-called coffee boycott started by some South Ameri- j can coffee drinkers.

Lately it turned up | again among a mass of notes. The i Spanish mantilla was originally a mark of shame for the femininity of loose morals of the day, a day away __ • fc ack before Goya and the Spanish I painters took it out of its class and I made it an appurtenance of the dress of the ladies cf the court. Originally the mantilla crosse'd its rather straggly ends of the time down over the breast in the form~of a letter A. These bretelles were red. One wonders if Hawthorne ever knew this. There’s the plot ready made. One and another of most modern and an cient writers went and took what they wanted where they found it, a proce dure which is ethically legitimate up to a certain point. It should be remembered that the mantilla of today resembles very lit tle that of the fairy like Island of Ma jorca, where the sun ever shines and the thermometer never falls very low. By a process of development it came to be what it is, but It.was always a headdress. I put it that way, not be ing a fashion writer, hut I vouch for the rest of the statement as supported by documentary evidence and only re count it here by the possibility of be ing able to drag in Hawthorne. That happens to be vivid in my mind be cause in my youth I once lived across the street from the House of Seven Gables. I-low the circles do cut in on one another, like those of the plane tary system! Herring Is Bread What is to become of the people who live on the islands of the Zuyder -.ce in Holland when' that sea be comes dry land? Pierre Van Paassen asks, in the Atlanta Constitution. As far hack as human memory goes these people have been fishers. The sea is in their blood. “Herring is bread,” as they say themselves. From their very youth their whole life is directed to ward the sea. “Only Idiots and fools -toy on dry land,” a wrinkled old skipper told us once. The little gamins in their ’.vide trousers can hardly walk when they fashion a ship out of an old wooden shoe, fix it up with rudder and sail and float it on the ditch. When they come from school they first must see the harbor. Is there a trawler running in or a tug boat they shout: “Did you see fa ther?” and “How much of a catch did he have?” * Fish and the Calvinist sermons of the pastor are their life and breath. The Dutch government, it is said, will compensate them. Nev theless it all means the end of a pic turesque race. And it will be just as hard tc make landlubbers out of these children of the sea as it is for Russia to make Jewish merchants into farm ers in Crimea. - College for Engineers To supply trained engineers, espe cially for the automobile, motorcycle and bicycle industries, a technical col lege will be established at Wolver hampton, England. The total cost of construction will be about $600,000, of which one-third is to be paid by the county of Stafford and the remaining two-thirds by the city of Wolverhamp ton. The buildings will be divided into five sections: (1) general and admin istrative, (2) biology, (3) commercial, (4) domestic, and (5) technical, com prising engineering production with workshops and drawing offices, mate rial section, including chemistry, met allurgy, and general science subjects, mechanical and electrical Engineering, and building construction. It is intended to make provision for evening as well as day students. Bromine From Sea Water The strangest ship that ever sailed the seas left Wilmington, Del., recent ly on one of the strangest voyages that ever a ship, sailed. This ship, called the Ethyl, Is in reality a great float ing chemical laboratory, equipped to extract the element bromine from sea water. Bromine is a raw material useful in medicine, in photography and motion pictures, and in the manufacture of the ethyl fluid used in motor fuel. Through the last use of the world’s supply the chemical has become great ly depleted, and the voyage of the Ethyl is the first step In an elaborate plan to find other sources of supply. v V ( READ and reread.

Few Windjammer* LeH The windjammer haa just *tart given up the ghost, at least ae far m the British flag is concerned. The eld full-rigged vessel that once carried the brunt of the sea cargo is too slow nowadays and it doesn’t pay. The thousands of these British ships that sailed the seven seas now num ber six. All have served 30 or more years, and, with one exception are three-masted vessels. Finland seems destined to become the world’s last owner of ships of this type, as most of the British sailing vessels sold within recent years have been bought by Finnish interests, i Grain from Australia, literate from South America and salt outward from Liverpool are about the only cargoes now offered for sailing ships.—De troit News. Record in Thinness Some of the thinnest films on water ever subjected to scientific measure ment were recently described before the National Academy of Sciences by Prof. W. D. Harkins and J. W. Mor gan, or the University of Chicago. They are composed of only one layer of the molecules or building bricks of. material substances, and some of them are so very thin that ordinary X-rays could not do their vibratory dance within the thickness if such a location were selected for their performance. Numerically, the thickness of some of the films was found to be twenty-four billionths or an inch. Professor Har kins explained that such thin films can be easily formed by simply spread ing the proper kind of organic sub stance upon water. •NITRATE of SODA.
