City libraries are prolific produc er of odd Incidents. Articles of every kind and description are found in returned volumes. There Is. for example, a well known book mark, eadetired to Its owner by some asso eatloo. which has been found In re turned books at least one hundred times.

Ufce is commonly ruppooed to be deficient In muscle-rcxiviug quaJHk. and yet the Japanese, whose chief and almost only food is rice, axe noted for their physical strength, and. in the la ter advance on Pckla out&?nppl the armies of Russia. Germany, England, France and America. Also, note the same marvelous energy ct the Japan ese iu the atruggle with Russia. For an explanation of these facts the Rev. H. S. Chubb, of the Philadelphia Veg etarian Society, applied recently to the agricultural dc-artmenL His letter waa referred to Professor 8. A. Knapp, who investigated the rice in dustry in China. Japan and the Phil ippines, and the explanation proved to be very simple. The Japanese and other rice-cating nations do not polish the grain except for export. In the mills the outside coating of the rice kernel is rubbed off. The outer husk and the bran Just within it are remov ed, and then the kernel is rubbed to remove the rough protein surface. This is called polishing, and the process not only removes one of the most nu tritious substances in all cereals, but deprives the grain of about three fourths of its flavor. II inn an Blood Murks.

In Yucatan the gathering of the famous chicle chewing gum is an oc cupation apparently full of romanse, not unattended with considerable dan ger. Bands of men, known as "ohic leros," go Into the deep forests, under experienced leaders, armed with heavy knives of special make and pails and ladles for the sap. Each one is also provided with a strong rope more than eighty feet. long, to be us;d in climb ing the lofty sapota trfes from which the gum is procured. Tho sap flows from gashes cut in the bark. A camp of chicleros, where the sap is boiled, resembles In some respects an Amer ican maple sugar camp. After months of work the chicleros return from the forests laden with bnckllke blocks of aromatfc gum. The finest gum, known as "sicte," is collected from the fruit of the sapota mostly by the native women, and is seldom exported, bo cause it is too well liked at home. Is The Moon Inhabited.
