The depth of $3.50 meters to which
the founding line of a German sur.
vey ship is said to have sunk in the
Pacific ocean near the Philippine
Islands is some 1000 meters deeper
than the previous deepest sounding.

globe, 145,000.000 square miles, about
one-third stands more than three
miles above the bottom of the sea.
but until now no part of the great
oceans has been discovered deep
enough to submerge Mount Everest.
But II there is no mistake about this
depth OF $3.50 meters (32,0sS feet)
the worlds highest mountain could
be sunk there until fits highest peak
was 1900 feet below the waters level.
The deepest soundings have all been
made in the Pacific; 23,250 feet is the
record Of the Atlantic, IN proximity
to the West Indian Island Of St
Thomas; while the North sea only
averages 300 feet, or about one-tenth
the maximum depth Of the ICY waters

Another OF the few things that have
been the source of considerable un-
favorable criticism has been the un-
muffled motor boat Unlike Massa-
chusetts, there is unfortunately no
law in this State requiring power
hoats to muffle their exhausts, but II
seems strange that the fishermen,
who are the principal offenders,
should not realize that they are only
doing themselves injury by causing
the summer residents annoyance.
The latter are one of their chief
sources Of income and by driving
them away they are doing harm to
both the Bay and themselves.

There is much in breed and much
In pedigree, but these are worthless

Cabbage to be stored in commercial
storage houses should be very care
fully cut and cloaely trimmed so that
no loose leaves get into the storage
house, In hauling cabbage from the
field to the storelsouse, spring wagons
should be used and the heads should
be passed from hand to hand and
never thrown Tito the wagon body
The same care should be observed in
placing the hN;ds in storage
If the heads are to be stored in bins
more than IS or Is feet from front to
back, and sac heads not more than 6

car not reach the lower bin from the
one above. This plan of storage is
not, in general, as satisfactory as to
store the cabbage on shelves. The
heads may be stored in single layers
or in layers two or three deep on the
shelves. Precautions should be taken
to provide an area way between the
outside wall of the building and the
storage bins or shelves.
The walls of the building should be
so made as to provide a dead-air
space to prevent the penetration of
frost.
The secret of success in the man
agement of storage warehouse is to
have disease-free, well.matured, firm
carefully-handled stock grown from
high-grade seed and the storage house
so constructed that the temperature
can be lowered and maintained as
near "a degrees F. as possible
throughout the whole storage period
This means that the greatest care
must be exercised to take advantage
Of cool, frosty nights which occur
during the storage period, and as soon
as the house is filled to keep it closed

you cannot make it too pleasant OF
convenient. Narrow city lots are not
well calculated to supply light, espe-
cially during the fall and early win
ter months; but a kitchen built in
this fashion comes about as near solv-
ing the problem as is possible to do.
There is an advantage in a full two
story house. The extra space over
the upper rooms is worth great deal
to keep the house cool The shape and
height of this house gives it good
appearance from the street 1t does
not look like a narrow house. Prob
da have something to do with this
but it is fact that house built like
this looks larger than 1T really is.
Such a house may be built under
favorable conditions for about $4,000
or $4,000. A great deal depends on
labor conditions and the distance that
building materials have to be shipped.
Some communities are Disseminated
against when it comes to house build
ing because building supplies must be
shipped long distances. Some COM
munites have no stone or sand-two
commodities which are very Import
ant in the building line, 1t is no
ticeable that such communities very
often have to bring lumber from con-
siderable distances. All these things
affect the cost of the finished house.

the benefit of the low night tempera
lures. The other extreme OF too low
temperature should also be provided
against. During protracted cold
spells the temperature inside the stor-
age houses may get dangerously low.
To guard against loss from freezing,
oil heaters are placed at suitable in
tervals in the walks and alleys to
maintain the temperature above the
danger point.
Storage troubles are more largely
the result of careless handling and
bad ventilation than of diseases.
Practically all Of the rotting which
takes place during the storage period
is the result of organisms attacking
the badly handled or slightly diseased
heads under bad storage conditions.
Poor cultivation, bad harvesting meth
DDS, long haul to storage, and rough
handling in unloading and storing are
all to be avoided IL cabbage is to be
kept successfully through the storage

means of which they take dictation by
