LARGE AREAS OF LAND
ARE BELOW SEA LEVEL

All the continents, with the
possible exception Of South America.
contain areas of dry land which are
below sea level.
In North America, according to the
United States geological survey, the
lowest point is in Death Valley, Cali
fornia. PIG feet below sea level, but
this is slight depression compared
to the basin of the Dead Sea, in
Palestine, Asia, where the lowest dry
land point is 1920 feet below sea
level, but the Sahara as whole is
not below sea level, although until
recently the greater part of 1t was
supposed to be. In Europe the lowest
<point at present known is on the
shores of the Caspian Sea, eighty feet
sbelow sea level. In Australia the
lowest point is at Lake Torrens
twenty-five feet below sea level.

A Dog Story.

The Referee publishes some good
dog stories. A few years ago the late
Frank Sinnet (who was drowned in
the Titanic) brought one of his rough
haired terriers to me with a bad foot.
having been crushed and trodden on
by horse. This would not heal, and
a bone protruded. | injected little
cocaine while his master held the dog
in his arms, shipped off the protrud-
ing bone, and 1t got quite well in a
week. A few weeks later was walk
ing with friend, and we passed
one of Mr.. Sinnets maids with the
two dogs. began to tell my friend
the story. when the dog ran IN front
of us, in the road, and turned over
on his back, and held up his paw for
me TO see. Was this gratitude, in
stict or reason?

Il saw your recipe for red cabbage
salad and liked it very much, >"
writes Mrs. Y. T., expect to try 1t
very soon. We are very fond of red
cabbage in our house, and l always
make a pickle of it every year. Am
sending you the recipe, in case you
would like to have 1t. Would you
mind publishing the recipe for
creamed dates? I do not know how
the fondant is made. | would like
to have the fondant of different
f1avors as l want to have the
creamed dates for Thanksgiving"
Picked Red Cabbage
Choose q red cabbage of medium
size, remove the outer leaves,
quarter the cabbage and cut out the
stalk. Shred the cabbage finely and
wash it, lift 1t from the water and
drain it in n colander. Spread the
shredded cabbage on a large platter
and sprinkle quarter of pound of
fine salt over 1t. Leave the cab
bage for twenty-four hours, drain it
in a colander and when dry pack it
tightly in glass jars. Add level
teaspoonful of red pepper and two
cupfuls of white vinegar, and shake
1t well.
Pour the vinegar into the jars so
as to cover the cabbage, and screw
down the tops on the jars and keep
for a week or ten days, when it will
be ready for use.
This pickle is of a particularly
bright color and will keep longer
than if prepared with boiled spiced
vinegar.
Many, many thanks. Will one of
my able housewife readers send in
the fondant recipe? Stuffed dates
have a holiday sound, haven't
they?
Did you ever stuff them with wal
nuts, Mrs. Y. t.? You remove the
seeds, insert halves of walnuts in
their places, squeeze the dates to-
gether, roll them in graduated
sugar, and they are ready to serve.

BIG SHIP CANAL ACROSS
FLORIDA Is PLANNED

A plan is under way to construct a
ship canal from Jacksonville to the
sea, connecting st. Johns River with
a great dock basin to be located at
Atlantic Beach. The plan provides
for the dredging of Sherman's Creek,
and the suggested Improvement would
provide direct water communication
between Jacksonville and that sea-
side resort. 1t is predicted that the
work can be completed in twelve
months. The land through which the
Dredging will be done is now swamp
for much of the distance The plan
includes reclamation of neisihSaring
Hand and the planting of palm trees
lalong the new water course.

GLACIERS RETURN
PREVENTS TREATY
United States Was Soon to
Give Canadian Outlet to Sea
in Alaska.

The unexpected return of glacier.
at Glacier Bay, on the Alaskan
boundary, to its former haunt, has
upset the tentative negotiations be-
tween the Canadian and the United
States authorities.
An outlet to the seas from Canadian
territory north of Prince Rupert
would have been provided and would
have been of considerable benefit to
Canadian interests back of the boun-
dairy strip had the negotiations pro-
ceeded
The location was formerly occupied
by the Grand Pacific Glacier. This
impeachment removed itself some time
ago, but just as arrangements were
approaching completion the glacier
returned and now constitutes an eff
fectual barrier to the inlet.
