multiply the chance of error. More
over, IL the nine thousands, the eight
thousands, the seven thousands and
the six thousands were scattered all
over the master list ndiscriminately,
the cancellation by boards having
small groups would be very tedious
and would open the way to numerous
errors. All this is easily avoided.
Suppose we drew only 1000 num-
bers. We could then provide that
the drawing of the number S7s would
also draw the numbers 1878; 2,s7S;
3.s7s; 4,s7s: 5,s7s; 6,s7s; 1873;
S,s7S and ISIS.
an that way only 10000 numbers
need be drawn, and by making our
master list consist of one sheet for
each 1000, we could provide a mas
ter list easily applicable to lists with
only 5000 numbers, since such
boards could disregard all except the
first three sheets.
I'VE should do this but for the fact
that this makes it certain that men
in the first, thousand would be called
first, men in the second thousand
next, and men with the high serial
numbers last of all.
"Since the assignment of numbers
Is also done by chance, this does not
interfere very greatly with the even
chance of all men, but it does inter-
fere to some extent. For this reason
1t was decided to have one drawing
to determine the order in which the
sheets of 1000 each should appear
on the master list, instead of arbi-
trarily assigning the sheets of 1000
in their natural order. This reduces
the whole matter to an absolute
equality of chance.
The Details of the Drawing.
"One group Of numbers, from l to
1000 and a second group, from
naught to nine have been carefully
imprinted on opaque slips of paper,
black on one side, counted and
checked. These slips have been roll
ed up and each put inside a gelatine
capsule with the black side out. To
insure absolute accuracy OF count,
the capsules containing numbers
from / to 1000 have been counted
into ten glass jars in groups of 100
each, the glass jars have been sealed
and kept in safe, awaiting the day
Of drawing.
"The contents of the jars will be
decanted into a large glass receipt
acIe from which the capsules can be
readily drawn.
"A blindfolded man will stir the
capsules in the receptacle thoroughly
before any are drawn, and will keep
stirring them during the drawing.
"A blindfolded man will then draw
capsules out, one at a time. AS each
capsule is drawn, it will be handed
to an announcer, who will break the
capsule and announce the number
drawn. While he is announcing the
number, a second capsule will be
drawn and handed to second an
nouncer, who will break the capsule
and read the number. The drawing
will proceed in this way until all the
capsules are drawn.
Three tally sheets will be- kept
One keeper Of a tally sheet will re-
peat each number as it is announced
and all three will write it down. In
case of disagreement between tally
sheets on any number, the sheets
that agree will control.
Immediately before the drawing
of the numbers from 1 to 1000 the
drawing of the numbers from naught
to nine will take place to determine
the order in which the thousands
shall appear on the master lists.

CANNING a SIMPLE PROCESS.

Canning is quite simple process
when the reasons for the different
steps are known. In the cold-pack
method, the vegetables or fruit are
first dipped into boiling water (the
time varies for different fruits and
vegetables) and then dipped into cold
water. This is called blanching, 1t re-

is needed; it sets the color; 1t loosens
the skin and makes the pulp more
firm, Then put into cans and then
boil the required time. The covers
should be placed on loosely during
the boiling so as to prevent the Jars
bursting. When boiled, tighten the
covers The boys and girls can can
by this system as well as grown cups.
The point is to kill the bacteria
and to seal the cans tight so no
