SCIENCE IN PACKING BOXES.
Special Machine to Determine Avail
ability of Timber.

More than four and half billion
feet of lumber yearly is made into
boxes in the United States, and the
problem of lessening the great losses
due to breakage of boxes carrying
merchandise is one of Importance. A
specially designed testing machine is
now being used at the Forest Prod
ucts laboratory in Wisconsin in the
attempt to determine the best kinds
of boxes for given service and the
woods best suited for box making.
A heXagonal drum with 1-2 foot
sides lined with thin sheets of steel
and pieces of scantling bolted to the
end cause the boxes placed inside to
be raised and dropped back as the
drum is rotated. The fall is regarded
as an imitation of the average hand
ling in transportation. The test boxes
are filled with cans containing water
and a careful record is made of the
number of falls required to break up
each box thus loaded and of the man
ner in which it fails From data
yielded by the tests already made,
box woods have been classified in
three groups.

FISH VERY SAFE.
Little Reason to Apprehend Para.
sites in Their Flesh.

Parasitic worms in fish often give
such concern that over sensitive and
uninformed individuals acquire a
strong aversion fer species that has
been known to be wormy. In a
circular of the United States bureau
of fisheries, Prof. Edwin Linton and
DR.. G.. w. Stiles call attention to the
fact that no species of animal is free
from parasites, and probably no in
dividual animal is long without them.
The wormy butterfish of which COM
plant has been made to the New
York health department are quite
harmless. Investigation has shown
these parasites to be nematodes
Ground worms or thread worms) of
species never found alive in man,
and while these worms are very COM
mon in the stomach and it's append
ages in most fishes, they appeared
in the flesh in only four butterfish
out of 5000 examined, and each of
these four fishes had but one worm.
The flesh of most marine food fishes
is notably free from parasites. Un-
like the trichniae of pork, these
thread worms-even uncooked-have
never been known to infect a human
being and, unlike the insect larvae
or maggots that develop in decaying
meat, the presence of nematodes still
active is an indication Of the COM
parative freshness and good quality
of the fish. To condemn the butter
fish on account of these parasites
cannot be justified on grounds of
public health. If this fish is thrown
out, consistency would demand that
all other fishes be rejected as we'll
as fowls, game, beef, mutton, pork,
etc., as all have parasites.

PRINCESS CHOPS TREES.
Alice of Greece Does 1t to Keep Her.
self Fit.

The Princess Alice of Greece, who
was the English Princess Alice OF
Battenberg, has spent the past sum-
ner chopping down trees to keep
herself fit.
The Princess Alice is 30, cousin
of the queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up
telling trees to begin again her work
of encouraging the Greek women to
earn their own living by home sew
ing-the Princess Alice's own par
ticular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Prin-
cess Marguerite and Princess Theo-
dora, II and 10, respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swim
ming every day for an hour and a
half in the warm translucent water
of the Corfu channel. Prince An
drew's wife herself is a fine, strong
swimmer now, but it has not been
a long time since Sheldon White
house, who was then secretary of
the American legation. pulled her out
of the water and saved her life when
she had gone down three times.
The villa of Mon Repos. the sum-
.mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princes Alice, was the favorite coun-
try residence of the late King
George, who left it to his third son.
but unfortunately he failed to leave
the means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is colonel of a
cavalry regiment-not lucrative
employment. Princess Alice also is
not rich, and the pair. who for roy
alties are poor as church mice, have
four children, all girls, a sad pros
pect these days when Europe is full
of royal girls and short of royal boys
to marry them.-Corfu (Greece)

Origin of the Curfew.

A note by Ruskin Butterfield re-
minds us that although Shakespeare
speaks of ''the curfew bell'' and Mil
ton of 1.-The far-off curfew sound, !"
Chaucer more correctly refers to
"corfew tyme," as curfew was orig
inally an appliance for covering the
fire. There are examples still in ex-
istence, for instance, in the Hastings
museum; they look like large tea
cosies in metal. They served, as
moderns use freguards, to prevent
sparks setting the house on fire, and
the housewife heaped the embers to-
gether at night and placed the curfeW
over them to lessen the combination
and in the morning save the trouble
of lighting the fire again.-London
