stations from the Adratc to the Baltic
proving that in most cases only few
centimetres of difference exist, so that
for practical purposes it may be taker
that the sea level on all the coasts oil
Europe is the same.

Flowers may be kept fresh for long
time by putting pinch of soda into the
water in which they are held. They
should not be gathered when the sun
Is shining upon them, but early in the
morning or after the sun has been
down for an hour. To revive wilted
flowers plunge the stems TO about
one-third of their length in boiling
water. This will drive the sap back
into the flowers, causing them to be-
come fresh. Then cut away the third
of the stem which has been heated and
place the flowers in cold water.

and still not avert disaster from Dave.
The whistle of the A shrilled out un-
earthly screech continually to warn even
the birds from huttering too near the
messenger of life.
The engine rocked from side to side
at the dizzy rate of speed. For the first
time the odor of hot oil made Rosa feel
faint. She hung half out of the cab

hands clinging crafty to the window
for support.
