The principal problems TO be faced

II Inns been suggested that the navy

from the respiration of considerable

Of a tree of moderate size present a

yards. All other forms of vegetable
life act similarly in abstractirg the

Tennyson's TactIessness,

Several stories are told of Tennyson's
thoughtless speeches. What fish is
this?" he once asked his hostess where
he was dining. whiting" she re-
piled. ''The meanest fish there is"
he remarked, quite unconscious that
he could have wounded any ones feel
ings.
Yet his kindness Of heart was such
that when his partridge was after
ward given him almost raw he ate
steadily through it for fear his hostess
might be vexed.
On one occasion Tennyson was very
rude to Mrs. Brotherton, neighbor at
Freshwater. The next day he came to
her house with great cabbage under
each arm.
II heard you like these, so l brought
them," he said genially. 1t was bis

When wood is badly denied or

piece Of blotting paper at least four
times, then saturate with water, final
