Roman London lies buried about
eighteen feet below the level Of
Cheapside. In nearly all parts Of the
city there have been discovered tes-
sellated pavements, Roman tombs,
lamps, vases, sandals, keys, ornaments.
weapons, coins and statues of the
Roman gods. When, little over a
century ago, deep sections were made
for the sewers in Lombard street. the
lowest stratum was found to consist
of tessellated pavements. Many COL
ored dice were found lying scattered
about, and above this stratum was a
thick layer of wood ashes, suggesting
the debris of charred wooden build
ings While building the Exchange
workmen came upon gravel pit full
of oyster shells, bones of cattle, old
sandals and shattered pottery, says
London Chronicle. Two pavements
were dug up under the French church
in Threadneedle street, and other pave
ments have been cut through in sew
eral parts of the city. The soil seems
to have risen over Roman London at
the rate of nearly a foot century.
Still further must the searcher dig to
find the third London, the earlier Lon
don of the Britons.

The centenary of the independence Of
Brazil from European rule will occur
in 1922 and will be celebrated in Rio de
!Janeiro. One of the features of the
celebration will be congress of con-
tinental American history. The ar
rangements for the congress are under
the direction of the Brazilian His
torical and Geographical institute,
which will endeavor to secure the CO.
operation of the Pan-American union
with view to having all the Ameri-
can nations participate in the discus
sion and publication of papers on the
history of the American continent. The
plan is interesting and undoubtedly
will offer opportunity for improving
the understanding between all the ma
tions of the western world.

writer's who describe them, not one

says London Chronicle. In the highly
imaginative gypsy lore of southeast

Recent Investigations show that the
longest life and best health are not
to be found among those of average
build at any particular age. On the
contrary, 1t is discovered that in those
at the younger age who are slightly
overweight and at the older ages
among those who are distinctly un-
derweight the longest life and best
health will be found. Overweight is,
above thirty-odd years, definite dis
advantage to health. 1t means stale
ness, lack of elasticity, clogged-up tis.
sues, and lack of the power of adapta-
bility to invading germs. Men from
twenty to twenty-four can be accepted
as healthy and for long life fifty to
sixty pounds above normal Less ex-
cess weight is permissible between
twenty-five and fifty and increasingly
less as you 60 up. There are one
third more deaths among men between
sixty-five and eighty who are fifty
pounds to sixty pounds fatter than
they should be for a given height. At
the ages of thirty-four to forty-five
from thirty-five pounds to forty-flve

A contemporary speaks of cryolite as
Greenland's one export. Cryolite is
used in manufacturing opaque glass,
for enameling iron ware. and in the
fiuxes for electrolytic aluminium and
white Portland cement. But there are
other natural resources in Greenland
which will be exploited some day. 1t
will be long time before industrial
development takes advantage of all
the opportunities on the planet, and
while vast areas of land lie waste it
will be silly to exclaim that the world
is over-peopled.

There has been much speculation

There has been much speculation
whether the stray electric currents
that dodge about underground in
every modern city, playing havoc with
water and gas pipes and metal foun-
dations, have any i'll effects on trees
growing in their paths. The forestry
experts Of the government, who have
been making Investigations, have
been unable to find that trees are in
fiuenced in any way by such earth
currents or by the passage of electric
ally charged wires through their
branches. And yet something mys-
teriously destructive often happens to
trees along the country roads after
electric wires are strung through
them.

Fortune in kelp.

The kelp beds OF British Columbia
are said to be capable of furnishing
annually 2S5,00O tons OF potash,
which, figured at $50 a ton, would
amount to 11,75O,O00. The iodine OBJ.
tanned, at the rate of $3,S75 a ton,
would amount to $9,6SO,OOO. The total
calculated value of these two by-prod,
ucts of kelp (at pre.war prices) would
thus amount to 100000 per annum.

Take for instance the
item of "skinning."
There is nothing at first
thought very romantic in
the subject of skinning.
But
Each coffee bean has a
thin, protective skin.
This skin boils bitter and
should be removed.
1t is removed.
This is an important
step, but not as import
ant as the next.
Every coffee bean has a
crease or crack on it's flat
side.
The bitter skin is crowd
ed or folded into this
crack.
The crack holds and con-
ceals it, and ordinarily it
is overlooked.
When you grind your
own coffee you grind also
the skin in the crack.
Your coffee then is more
or less bitter.
Most coffee then is more
or less bitter.
Not that, however, of
Berdan & Co.
They clean the crack.
Every vestige of bitter
skin is removed, side
tracked, swept away and
destroyed.
1t took some ingenuity
to devise a way of doing
it.
1t is only a detail.
But important.
One of many details,
each quite as important
in it's way.
AS a result every little
bean is kept busy; every
little bean receives flat
tering attention; every
little bean travels far,
improving as it goes;
every little bean is SUBJ
jected to a score of beau
tiful experiences, jour-
neying the while un-
touched by hand until it
is weighed, packed, seal
ed and shipped still un-
touched.
The future may see a
better way of doing
these things.
Up to now there is no
better way.
Nature is not likely to
improve upon the brand
of sunshine she is now
supplying.

reached the limit of cof-
fee excellence.

WORDS are poor, weak

could make the above
statement and make it
absolutely without foun-

1t is hard to establish a
bond of confidence and

You must supply a lit

them both.
We will agree then, ten
tatively, that Berdan &

of all the masters of cof-
fee blending.
Even so, the business of
providing you with a per-

commenced.
To know how to produce
a blend is one thing.
To know how to produce

other thing.
To produce it with the

thing.
All these things, Berdan

We certainly do enjoy a
good cup of coffee.
1t makes us feel better,
work better and con-
tributes largely to the
joy of living.
The question of securing
a good cup of coffee, con-
fronting most of us as it
does three times each
day of our lives, becomes
in consequence a matter
of more than ordinary
Importance.
The search for a good
cup of coffee discloses
much that is interesting.
Nature, we find, makes
many mistakes.
For instance:
All men are not intelli-
gent.
All women are not beau
tiful.
All children are not
healthful.
BY this token all coffee is
not good; and good coffee
is not all.
Different kinds of good
beans must be first Sc
lected and then blended
in. such proportions as
will result in a palatable
and nutritious beverage.
Not every man is able to
paint a good picture,
write a good poem, or
compose a great SYM
phony.
Not every man is able to
select and blend a good
coffee.
Each of these achieve
ments requires a pecul-
lar quality of genius.
There are only a few
great geniuses in the
field of art, literature
and music.
There are fewer still who
are equipped with that
peculiar faculty required
to perfect a masterpiece
of coffee.
Of these few there must
be one better equipped
than his fellows.
Berdan & Co. had to
have this one
This master.
They got him.
1t sounds boastful-the
usual big talk on paper,
but why should they not
have him?
With millions invested
and millions more at
stake why should they
not have the best if they
knew where to find him
and were willing to pay.
They knew and were
willing.
