To Pronounce Vase.

How is the word vase pronounced,
is it a or a, is 1t Influenced by the
shape? r.
1t is like sightseeing trip over the
field of one of the great battles Of
history. Thirty years ago the pro.
nunciation of this word was the cpl
tome of the whole warfare Of culture
with whatever Its enemies may have
been, but it was all SO long ago that
it has slipped from memory just what
were the foes that culture had to bat.
tie with. Anyway, If you pronounced
vase right you arrayed yourself on
the side of culture and out with your
cudgel to do valiant deeds: vaz seems
to have been the fighting sound Of
the word with which you enlisted to
do or die. Now when we have other
battles to fight and culture manages
to get along quietly without starting
row the best dictionary authority
prefers the sound yes. With the
same vowel sound but with the hard
sibilant vez is preferred by Walker
and Webster and is Smart's second
choice. The only authorities who
give the preference to vaz are Stor.

style of pronunciation which afforded
the raw material of humor to the top.

BAMBOO PULP FOR PAPER.

Experiments in Burmn Show Its
Value for Local Use Only.
Consul General W. II. Michael, In re-
Spouse to an American inquiry as to
the utilization of bamboo In India,
writes to the bureau Of manufactures
from Calcutta as follows, says the
Washington Star:
The general outcome of the expert
ments to ascertain the suitability of
certain Burmese tlmbers, bamboos and
tibers for the making Of pulp for paper
manufacture, has, 1t is officially re-
ported, gone to show that the pulp pro-
duced from the Burmese woods expert
mented with, while 1t might find a
local use In Burma for the manufac-
ture of cheap paper, would not enter
into serious competition with the high
class wood pulps obtainable in England,
If exported as paper pulp thence. The
report estimates that ton of I'M
bleached bamboo pulp could be pro-
duced in Burma for $27, including man.

laneous charges. This cost, supple
mented by the freight to England and
sundry dues, would be increased to $37
as the price delivered to London OF
Liverpool, and considering the quality
of the pulp profit should be realized,
since wood pulp Is valued at $40 to
S45 a ton. The value of the pulp for
local use in paper mill in Burma is
considered to be undoubted and the
manufacture of paper from bamboo
therefore offers favorable posslbilitie,
as new industry for Burma"

Gently the Episcopal Church of the
United States celebrated at Richmond
Va, the Booth anniversary of the
Church of England on American soil.
The settlement of jamestown ana the
establishing Of the Church of England
were synonymous as to date, for of the
105 men sent over by the London Com
pany in the expedition of 1907 nearly
all were members Of the Established
Church. and almost the first thing they
did afr selecting what is now known
as jamestown as the site for a COLONY
was to hold the first regular service
Of the Protestant religion in America.
A sailcloth spread between two trees
served as the first sacred ediflce and
has been succeeded by thousands of
splendid buildings throughout the
country, for the Episcopal Church
never lost the impetus gained by that
Initial service under the trees in the
great American wilderness three cen.

this first service was Rev. Robert
Hunt.

The church of which the ruins are
still visible on the abandoned island of
jamestown was the second successor
of the little frame building in which
Ann Barras was made a bride. This
third church, of which part of the foun-
dations and ruined tower alone re-
main, was built in 1880; Its predeces-
sors probably were destroyed by the
Indians, who, after Powhattan's
death, developed n ferocious hatred Of
the whites which led to many horrible
massacres. The tower of the old
church is IS feet square and SO feet

tower is perforated with loopholes for

which enycloped those early deyotees.

Hereaity in Plants.

The general principles of heredity
formulated by Mendel give much prom
Use In the way of crop improvement
through more systematic methods of
breeding. 1t is believed by many biol
ogists, says Harpers Magazine, that
Mendel's law offers in part a solution
to some Of the perplexing problems in
plant and animal improvement. 1t is
TOO early, however, to predict what
benefits can reasonably be expected
from Its application. This law at
tempts to reduce to mathematical ba-
Sis the characteristic of the progeny
OF plants and animals; n certain per-
centage having the individual charac-
teristics of each parent, and GER
tain percentage the blended character
isties of both parents. 1t is not too
much to expect that the proposed law;
with notifications, will do much to
place the science of plant breeding
upon rational basis.
In the case of corn, careful serec-
tons OF seed has resulted in the pro-
duction of plants which have tenden-
cy to produce an additional ear there
by increasing the yield 10 to 25 per
cent. Also ears Of larger size and
more uniform character are secured
by breeding and selecting the seed corn.
one of the best examples of the i'm
provement of crop by selection and
breeding is the sugar beet, which has
been developed from the common stock
