tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the

Channel Islands Customs.

The Channel islands-where there Is
still in every day use a patois almost
identical with the Norman French spo-
ken by William the Conqueror-are
the home of other quaint antiquarian
relics. A local politician whose cleo
ton as jurat had been annulled by the
royal court of the island on the ground
of his having been sentenced to a
term of Imprisonment some years ago
knelt bareheaded at the entrance TO
the courthouse and exclaimed, "Haro.

peal, technically called the Glamour

quently been raised to interrupt build
ing operations on land to which the
title is disputed-much to the annoy
ance OF unsuspecting strangers who
have settled in the islands without be-
ing aware of this curious tradition.
Popular etymology explains 'Haro" as
an abbrevlation of "Ha, Rollo," thus
making the cry direct appeal to the
first Duke of Normandy.

The Most Accurate Machine.

The worlds most precise piece OF
machinery is doubtless the Rowland
dividing engine. owned and operated
by Johns Hopkins university, Balti-
more. This machine, the Invention of
Professor Henry A. Rowland, long the
head OF the physics department in that
institution. was devised by him to rule
diffraction gratings on glass or metal
for use in the most delicate kind of
spectroscopic work in the place OF the
glass prisms that are commonly used
TO form the spectrum by splitting up
white light into its component colors.
These gratings consist OF five parallel
lines so close together that they can
be separated only by microscope of
the highest power. Accuracy is meas
ured nowadays by the limit OF error.
The Rowland gratings are not perfect
because perfection is impossible, but
their limit of error is one-millionth OF
an inch. which makes the engine that
is able to draw them the record. hold
er for accuracy.---Literary Digest.
