WARMING the Eqqs.

There was once an old lady in Scot
land who kept a few hens. AS she
lived close to the house in which a
church minister lived he asked her to
send him two new laid eggs every
morning. and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs, and the ministers servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm, as
if they had just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold, so
the servant asked: Are the eggs fresh
today, Janey? They do not seem
warm"
The simple girl looked at the maid
and then said, "Ou, aye, they're quite
fresh, only my mother could not get
the cat to- sit on them this morning.

Value of White Oak.

The white oak has served for more
useful purposes than perhaps any 9TH
er tree. and its wood today is worth
as much as mahogany. Furniture of
''solid oak" is now a rarity, for the
wood has become so expensive that it
is used in the form of a veneer over
baser woods. So used it loses none of
its beauty. and even the thin veneer
resists wear for an incredibly long
time. This wood was a useful one to
the early agriculturists as well as to
those Of the present day. Itwas dura-
BILE when exposed to the elements and
was also durable in contact with the
soil. 1t was and is still used in fenc-
ing, and much of the second growth

There are two kinds of food-pro

these as the full grown man. often
more; carbohydrates. which are the
fats and sugars and starches that
supply heat and energy.
The boys protein food need not all

plenty of these rich and relatively
cheap foods he will not crave meat so
mordlnately as some growing boys 90,

"The boy needs large quantity of
carbohydrates. That is why his de-
mand for bread and butter is limited
only by the supply at hand: and when
he uses almost as much butter as

butter is expensive. but it is pure,

BREADFRUIT IN
PREHISTORIC FLORIDA

A change of climate is supposed to
account for the shrinkage of Alaska
glaciers, for the disappearance of
those clever stone masons whose ham
dlwork is found in the midst of Mex
can jungles, and for many other
things. Great changes of climate un-
doubtedly have taken place in differ
ent parts of the world. Impressions
of fossil plants are found in the arctic
regions and fossils found in the rocks
elsewhere prove that temperature and
moisture in some regions have been
very different in other times. The
present vegetation in northwestern
Florida represents a temperate flora
that has received additions from the
Tropics. A few years ago a pan dig
ging in a clay bank on Apalachicola
river, west of Tallahassee, found fos-
sill plants which prove that in Tertiary
geologic time, some millions of years
ago, the flora was distinctly tropica!
and was gradually becoming invaded
by members of temperate flora as a
result of a change in climate. He
found fossil remains of such trees as
the breadfruit camphor and satin
wood, and with them remains of the
elm and buckthorn. By far the most
abundant fossil was the palm, whole
layers of which were found fossilized
in sand. This discovery suggests that
in Tertiary time, near the coast and
along sluggish rivers, only few feet
above sea level, there were in that
region extensive palmetto swamps or
brakes.
The subtropical or warm temperate
climate in which these palms and
breadfruit lived in western Florida
was cooler than that of the preceding
period, when, in the area that now is
land, a shallow tropical sea swarmed
with shellfsh.
These fossil plants, which point to
former more tropical, climate, were
found at Alum Bluff, on Apalachicola
river, most interesting spot to th,
student of fossil plants because of it's
almost unique flora, most of the spe-
cies so far found being new; to the
botanist for the living relics of for
mer foras and to the physiographer
because of the striking contrast in
topography between the east and west
banks of the river.
A description of the clay and mari
beds and of the fossil plants found at
Alum Bluff is contained in a paper by
Edward w. Berry entitled "The physi-
cal condition and age indicated by the
flora of the Alum Bluff formation"
which has just been published by the
United States geological survey as
Professional Paper 98-E. A copy of
