Encyclopedia of China Is
Most Stupendous Literary
Work in History of World

The first European encyclopedia
was probably the work of Abulphara.
giu, the first volume of which was
published 676 years ago. To the Chi
nese, however, belongs the credit of
having originated the encyclopedia
idea, and China boasts of having the
largest of these. The Great Encyclo-
pedla of China is by far the most stu
pendous literary accomplishment in
the history of the world. The work
of compilation has been carried on
for centuries. and has engaged the
labors of over 1000 scholars. The
CHARACTERIZATION" as the work is
called, comprises over $4,000 sections
and is bound in 1000 volumes, each
half an inch in thickness. The work
contains total of OH, 4S0 pages. The
volumes when laid fat one upon an
other form stack of books 400 feet
high. There are only a few complete
sets Of this gigantic work in exist
ence. The first English encyclopedia
was issued in 1920, and the great
French one was published in 1751 and
succeeding years. The Encyclopedia
Britannica was first published by Will
liam Smellie, in 1171.

Waste Not
"Clean-Up" Movement Rewarded
by Government

The definition of waste Is apprecia-
bly, narrowed by the war which the de-
partment of commerce, in conjunction
with the national "Clean-Up and Paint
Up" campaign bureau of the savings
division the United States treasury,
has declared on the city dump. That
institution is a notorious prOdigal.
How extravagant are its destructive
methods, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
is demonstrated by the governments
plan to exchange War Savings stamps
for sufficient quantities of trash"
gathered together as a result Of the
spring housekeeping.
Old paper is especially valuable.
The practice Of burning 1t on the dump
has been a glaring example of Ameri-
can extravaganza. England was cured
OF this sort of wanton destruction dur
ing the war. The opportunity of the
American housewife is now at hand.
She can augment her collection of War
Savings stamps, make the cellar neat
and at the same time aid the govern
ment IL she deals with the Cleanup"
agents who will visit her.

call anything worthless trash" nova
days is likely to be way off in his Geo.
nomics.

St. Ethelbert, King of Kent,
Was First English Ruler to
Be Given Christian Baptism

The first Christian king Of England
was ST. Ethelbert, king of Kent. Ethel
bert reigned over Kent from $50 to GIG,
and he also held imperial sway over
the other Saxon monarchs as far north
as the banks of the Humber.
Like all his predecessors on English
thrones he was pagan. To increase
his power he married Bertha, daughter
of the king of Paris His queen was a
Christian, and she brought with her to
England French bishop, who held
services for the benefit of Bertha and
her attendants in a small building near
Canterbury. King Ethelbert was not
very favorably impressed with his
wife's new-fangled religion and pre-
ferred that of his fathers until an Ital-
ian missionary, St Augustine, arrived
in England. The king and his stall
wart pagan warriors gave hearty
greeting to the missionary, and Angus
tine soon convinced the Kentish king
that Christianity was an improvement
over the old faith Ethelbert was duly
baptized, and the lesser chiefs and
common people soon followed his ex-
ample. Go great was the eagerness
of the people to embrace the religion
OF Christ that on one day 10000 peo-
pie were baptized.

As Animals of Earth Grew
Smaller So Did the Humans

That the human race, like the ami
mails of the world. was in prehistoric
times Of marvellous size is a theory
that has been advanced by many stu
dents Of antiquity. 1t was, however,
only the French orientalist, Henrion,
member Of the academy, who fixed ex-
act sizes for the earliest members of
the race, declaring Adam to have been
1913 feet q inches tall and Eve 11S feet
9.75 inches. He also gives table say
ing that Noah was 103 feet tall, Abra-
ham, q feet tall Moses 13 feet tall
Hercules, 10 feet tall; Alexander the
Great, 6 feet tall, and Julius Caesar, 5
feet tall. This proves, according to his
theories, that great men are not all
big men, and also proves that as the
animals Of the earth grew smaller. so
did the humans, until today the man
who is more than six feet tall is con-
sidered above average height.

Great Advance With More
Unity Has Been Made in
Grammar and Spelling

In the days Of Chaucer there were
undoubtedly differences among writers
which made their grammar and spell

composition was well advanced. That,
however, says the Christian Herald.
was not the greatest age 1t came In
the Elizabethan period: and while the
literary peculiarities of Shakespeare
style were strongly defined. II could
not be said In any sense that they re-
veaied lack of knowledge in either
grammar or spelling, the standards OF
that day being suited to the culture
OF the time. And great advance had
been made over the days Of Chaucer.
In the days Of Addison, Johnson, Swift,
Congreve and Goldsmith, we find n
great advance with more unity In both
grammar and spelling. The authorized
version of the Bible in the line of lit
erary workmanship noted the greatest
advance of all, and reached a point
which has not been surpassed If, in
deed, equaled. There was a certain
latitude in spelling, ii Is true, to which
we today look back with interested GU
riosity; but even that was not the
result Of ignorance, but rather of Gus
tom, which allowed the latitude, and
it was in no sense q literary disfigure-
ment.

Evaporation of Moisture
Aids to Keep Body Cooler

Evaporation OF moisture from the
surface of our bodies Is one Of the
things that keeps us from getting too
hot in the summer time. Humid days
seem to be much warmer because
there is not SO much evaporation OF
moisture from our bodies to keep us
cool. In winter, too, moist air seems
to be warmer than dry air. Even at
20 degrees the air in room will seem
