sounds very modern in the argument.
complaints by Englishmen may be
met by pointing out that they still pay
less than foreigners, and that the

Remarkable Bread Baking.

What, we wonder, was the ultimate
result Of an experiment made in
MarylebOne, England, In April, 1854?
Two Frenchmen affirmed their ability
to produce $50 fOur-pOund lOaves from
a sack Of -four, which Mt that time pro-
duced only 90 TO 100 loaves. The
MarylebOne guardians lent their bak-
cry for trial. The bread was to
bear chemical tests and to contain
nothing preiudlcial to health, but the
process by which it was made was to
remain the secret of the two French
men, who offered a demonstration Of
their skill. The experiment was de-
clared at the time to be perfectly sue
ceSsful. Two sacks of flour, under
seal, were issued by the workhOuse au-
thorities. One was worked up by Eng.
lish bakers, and produced 90 loaves,
weighing $50 pounds; the other was
worked up by the French bakers, and
yielded 134 lOaves, weighing 500
pounds Several scientific men were
present, to "see fair" but not, as may
be guessed, to penetrate the mystery
Of the French bakers.

NATURE PROVIDES FOR BIRDS
Perfect "cold Storage" systeml OBJ
served by ornlthologlst In North
ern Russia and Siberia.

For a long time human ingenuity
has been devlslng systems OF cold
storage for food products; but for an
unknown number OF ages such syS'
TEN has existed IN natural form In
northern RUSSIA and siberia, II was
discovered by the famous ornltholo-
glst, Henry Seebohm
In the course of his travels he Wis
ited the Plethora river which hows
from the Ural mountains into the Arc
tic ocean opposite Nova Zembla.
Along the lower part of that river
stretched the tundra, drenry, unih-
hublted, treeless swamp, covered WIN
ice and snow Nevertheless, he found
that this unattractlye spot was the
summer home 0f almost half the bird
population Of the old world.
The naturalist reached the region In
early April. Forest and tundra were
as devoid of life MS the desert OF Sa-
hara, but n change was near. Sud
denly summer broke over the scene;
the Ice on the river split and dlsap-
peared; the banks steamed In the sun;
and innumernble birds Of all sizes ana
colors appeared within 4S hours after
the first warmth. The fNoZen tundra
became n wide moor, diversified with
numerous bogs and lakes. II was COW
cred with moss. lichens. healthlike
plants, dwarf birch and millions OF
acres Of cloudberries, cranberries and
crowberrles.
The perpetual sun Of the Arctic
summer causes the latter plants To
bear IN wonderful profuslon But
fruit-bearing must follow blOssomlng,
and blossom and fruit cannot be per
fected In 4s hours. The birds were
arriving in thousands. The fruit would
not be ripe until the middle or end of
the summer; II the birds had to wait
until then they would starve.
II soon appeared, however, that na-
ture had made due provision for
them. Beneath the snow lay n whole
crop Of last years fruit perfectly pre-
served in natures cold storage.
Each year. when the berries are ripe
and before the birds can devour many
of them, the snow descends upon the
tundra; 1t covers the crop and pre-
serves 1t In perfect condition. Then
comes the spring sun to melt the snow
and uncover the bushes, loaded with
ripened fruit, and the ground beneath
covered with the fallen provender.
The berries never decay beneath the
snow.

| fatal spot was missed by few inches.
However, the force of the blow, which
was delivered with both hands without
releasing the handle, was so great, that
it depressed the creatures head, and
the head-on collision did not crash ia
I the side of the boat as IL probably
would have done otherwise. The top
Of the head struck the bottom of the
boat, breaking the lance handle short
Off against the side, and | was con
fronted with very serious defect in
my equipment | had acquired, by
| years of work with the lance, such
confidence in my ability to place it
where desired that had not thought
it necessary to provide more than one
spade lance; but now my fish was very
much alive and fighting mad and l
was without u spade lance.
The water was so thick that the
NIanta could not be seen until very
near the surface, but Charlie kept the
slack Of his harpoOn hauled in and the
line showed the direction in which the
fish was travelling under water. Cap
tain Jack steered the boat, which was
kept running, and that it was well
handled is shown by the fact that not
once in more than a dozen rushes did
the deyilfish reach the surface without
finding our boat on her back. Each
time l drove the lance through her
heart or brain one or more times, and
after the fight she showed 23 such
wounds.
Through all this fight there was one
uncertain and disturbing factor that
we were not in position to guard
against-nameIy that the great male
mate of the wounded Manta kept near
us until the fight was over and three
times nearly capsiZed US by pushing
the boat from the back of the female.
Once, just after we had been nearly
capsized by a heavy blow from the
head Of the male, and when the female
was fighting most violently, when we
were all covered with the blood Of our
victim and the boat was almost filed
with water, the youngest member of
the crew Uuther Dixon), thinking that
the end for all of us was near, tried to
force a harpOOn into my hand as he
screamed, Iron the big bull and let's
all 90 to h in tow of a team of
devils" l quote this to show the tenn
per of the men, for while Luther, and
probably others Of the crew, thought
this our last fight, neither he nor any
other man showed even trace Of fear.
Then the dying Manta raised her head
against the side Of the boat and gave a
loud harsh bark or cough, and as l eX-
"Watch her eyes looking two
ways at Once!", the stricken creature
slowly rolled one of her eyes, until
with that one only, she seemed to look
at all Of us behind her in the boat.
Before striking the Manta had
looked at my watch and called out the
time and as the big fish died, l again
pulled it out and asked, How lOng?"
Not one Of the crew placed the time Of !
the fight at less than two hours and
when | told them that it had taken on
ly % minutes, they wanted to see If |
the watch had not stopped. The fight |
was now over, the great female Manta |
that we had come for was dead but |
there was still a man-sized job in front |
Of us and we at once made the fish |
fast to Our stern and headed for Blind |
Pass, more than mile away.
