this man has discovered that The heat
radIating from the stove strikes the
roof and the circulation is so quicken
ed that the camp is warmed in much
less time than would be required IL

the floor"
The other professor was OF the opin.

thought that lie was entitled TO some
rccognition-as he was-for the work
lie had done. and he applied for con-

mean. believing that the soJourn there
would improve his wife's health.
Months went by and he heard moth
Ing of his application. except that 1t
had been received by the president.
Then came the blow. He was notified
that he had been made consul ut some
little town In Iceland. Smith sat down
