BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Jan. 25.---"I
have learned that af1nities do not al
ways turn out as at first expected, and
though 1 have erred, every man is liable
to do that"
This statement was made by Frederick
Pinney Earle of Monroe, n. Y, when
be was interviewed at a local SAM
tarium. OF his second wife, to whom
at one time before he was divorced and
remarked he referred as his affinity, y
he refused to say much beyond this, al
though he intimated that he was through
with her and that no reconciliation
would ever be effected.
Earle arrived in this city Thursday
from Monroe, following his return from
Paris. He was DESTROYS of escaping
from the gaze of the world pending the
divorce proceedings of his "soul mate. "
Strict precautions were taken that his
presence should not become known, and
told the officials of the institution
hat as soon as his presence should be
ame known he would leave. As yet,
however, he has not done so.

CHANCE FOR A BIBLIoPHILE.
Unique Copy of Ancient Records,

Unique Copy of Ancient Records,
Full of Historical Material.
Here is an opportunity for some rich
collector Of books, or for some library
that likes to place upon its shelves
tones which are valuable as records of
bygone days, says the New York World.
The opportunity in question is book
believed by it's present owner to be the
only copy in existence, which was print
ed in Osnaburg, Germany, in 1923. 1t
is valuable not so much for it's age as
for the wealth of historic material it
contains.
This book is history of the see of
Osnaburg, the first Saxon-Germanlc
church, from it's foundation by Charlie
magne, in 772 A. D. 1t relates his
nomination Of it's first bishop, st. Who
Of Frisia, and contains, first, the order
and series of the bishops of Osnaburg,
with an epitome Of their origin and
characteristics, from TIP to 1923 and
1923, when Itel Frederick, Count OF
Hohenzollern, cardinal Of the Holy Ro-
man church, and Francis William,
Count of Wartenberg, successfully oc-
cupied the see
Second, the acts, canons, statutes and
DEGREES Of the synods and councils OF
the church held at Alemania, Cologne
and Osnaburg in 1925, 1860, 1910, 1922,
1850, 1923, 1852, 1886, 1925, 1923, au-
thenticated by notarial certificates.
Third, the apostolic mandate of limo
cent VI, dated from Avignon, 1860, to
Wilhelm, archbishop of Cologne, DE

monachorum."
Fourth, the confirmation of the Caro-
line constitutions of Carolus ", Ro-
man emperor, ratified by the council OF
Constance, 1923.
Fifth. the ceremonial Of the assem-
bly Of the major synod Of Osnaburg,
1923. and the historic sermon Of Pater
Gulielmus Aschendorf, S. ]. de vitus
nroecedentibus temporibus enatis ct
adhue durantibus"
The book belonged in 1913 to the
great library Of the Bollandists at Ant
werp On the title page, in the hand
writing of Father Jean de Bolland, the
;llustrious ancient" are the words:
.sDomus prof Soc. Jesu, Antwerp,
1643." (House Of the professed of the
Society of Jesus, Antwerp, 1643.)
When the Bollandists were expelled
bv Joseph II of Austria, their library
was seized and sold at auction. It was
purchased for the monastery Of st. Nor
bert at Tongerloo. When these monas-
tics were afterward driven out by the
French revolutionists, their library was
pillaged and the book came into the
possession Of Father Jean Francois Van
de Velde, S. J., president of the Uni
yersity of Louvain. His autograph Is
on the opening page.
The book, which Is in Latin. is bound
in yellum and In perfect preservation,
belongs now to Joseph A. Donovan,
Rochester, N. Y, who is willing to sell
it for $4,000.

NEW DISCOVERY FOR MAKING
WOOD PULP PAPER.
Invention Of a Minnesota Professor by
Which Product Worth $3.50 Is
Made to Yield $8o-like
DistiIling Sugar.


Minneapolis, Minn.-One of the most
significant industrial discoveries of the
age was admitted the other day by
Dean George B. Frankforter of the
college of chemistry of the University
of Minnesota
It means, says experts, that the
United States will produce a hundred
times as much wood pulp paper as was
believed possible. 1t means that every
cord of fir lumber will yield ten dol
lars profit on by-products alone, and
that the greater part of the 60 per
cent. OF a tree now wasted. will be
turned into dollars and cents. 1t
means huge plants and new industries
A prominent lumberman Is almost
the sole sharer with Dr. Frankforter
of the process. So convinced is he Of
the enormous commercial value of the
discovery that an experimental plant
will be constructed this summer in the
west, to be followed Immediately by
the building of mammoth plant.
DR.. Frankforter has experimental on
these processes for IL years. The per-
fected process consists of taking small
pieces of waste wood or sawdust, lay
ing 1t on steel incline over furnace
and subjecting 1t to chemical process
of distillation. Carbon disulphide, or
gasoline, is poured over the sawdust,
dissolving the turpentine and resin
pipes leading to tank.
The process is similar to the distilla-
ton of sugar. Wood pulp remains free
from pitch, and eminently suitable for
the manufacture of paper. The exist
ing method of distillation left the pulp
in the form of charcoal DIR. Frank
forter extracted from one cord of Nor.
way pine, worth $3.50, turpentine worth
$41.60 and wood pulp worth 500, or
a yield of $50 from $3.50 worth of raw
material,
The story of the discovery reads like
story book. Walking one day in 1890
through the pine woods of the north
ern part of Minnesota, DR.. Frankforter
noted an old stump, which gave out an
odor strangely unlike that of the or.
binary turpentine. He took sample
back to the university, showed ii to a
friend in the faculty who happened
also to be friend of Weyerhaeuser
and mentioned his desire to expert.
ment further.
Within week milk can filled with
the pitch of the Norway pine-for IL
was that which he had taken home
was sent him. He set TO work. The
then known process of distillation
consisted in boiling the wood until the
pitch was separated and the wood left
as charcoal. Neither of these sub.
stances had much commercial value.
He then happened upon the present
process. Later he erected a small ex-
perimental plant near his home, and
capitalists interested came to his as.
sistapce. The discovery of the process
of making wood pulp came like a flash

MENGETT|NC BIGGER
AMERICA is THREATENED WITH
A RACE OF GIANTS.
College Boys Growing Larger Every
Year, According to Statistics
Gathered at Yale-Tests
Of Ten Years AGO.

New Haven, Conn.-The American
citizen of the future is to be a giant.
according to the statistics of the ath-
letic instructors. DR.. Born. medical
director of the Yale gymnasium, has
made public the 1908 statistics OF de-
velopment in the university. For the
comparisons 500 athletes from the
crew, the football and baseball teams
the track men and the student athletes
generally were measured.
The general average is compared
with the averages taken In 1903, and
the 1908 averages are generally higher
than had been expected. The new col,
lege man has grown an inch and one
half in five years, He has gained q
pounds in weight md has 72 cubic
inches more lung capacity than his
prototype of five years before.
The list bears out the assertion.
commonly made during recent years,
that the American man was becoming
greater physically than any known
race of men has ever been.
The comparative measurements
given out by DR.. Born are:

You think Enid might be with Ma

Yes, II Cipriano Danella has her.
He apparently wants chance at my
life If Saliceti misses it. He may have
taken Enid to some out of the way
place, so that striving to find her l
may die In his vendetta"
So he and Edwin walk their horses
up to the junction of the Morosaglia
road.
Did you find that flower here?" he
asks Edwin.
Yes. pretty well toward the middle
of the path"
Thoah the moon has just risen they
can fin1 no more cyclamen blossoms
and here a sudden complication con-
fronts them. Another road leading to-
ward the northwest and running to
Novella, Belgodere and the lie Rouse,
also leaves the Bastia road at the same
point.
1T is just as probable that Marina S
course was directed toward the north
west as toward the east. In fact, it is
toss-up which way your wife went"
remarks Barnes. Now, there is only
one way to settle it, if this cyclamen
flower means anything. That is for
you to investigate one road and the
other"
So 1t is arranged that Barnes takes
the road toward the lie Rouse, and
Edwin follows the path leading to the
east toward Morosaglia
IF | find no more of these flowers
going toward the northwest. I'll return
here and follow you, remarks Burton.
