Collectors Of I'd ke books and manu-

the announcement that a first edition
Of Shakespeare's works, published In
1923, was sold at auction In London Z
few weeks ago for 1,150 pounds ster
ling. The volume 10 said to be In ex-
cellent condition, though the binding IL
considerably worn.
This costly book has Increased In
price by bounds. At the beginning Of
the eighteenth century the volume was
bought for five pounds from q book
dealer. In 1900 It was valued at fifty
pounds, and in the year 1890 24O
pounds was paid for It This was a
record price until 1892, when tn value
again increased. The Indications are
that with the years the price Of 1,150'
pounds will again be advanced, as the
value Of the volume will be more and

Few Reminders Of Raids.


Studious lovers of London will not
fail to notice how swiftly, true to her
marvellous gift Of eternal youth, she Is
obliterating every trace Of the air raid
period as If It had never been. Some
Of the scars made by enemy bombs
still remain, as In the wholesale mar
ket in Covent Garden, but they might
pass as unnoticed as the effects Of re
cent fires which IRE always to be
found in the great city. Notices Of the
air raid shelters are, however, already
hard to find; an odd one may be dis
covered on a lamp post in Tottenham
Court road, or at Gresham college,
which had not found leisure to tear
down the shabby poster about its use
as an air raid shelter; while in
Southampton row the New Zealand
record Office has not yet demolished its
sandbag revetment. Speaking general
~, however, all signs Of the reign Of
terror by night have vanished like
the baseless fabric of a dream, leaving
not q wrack behind."-London Globe.

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS CARD


The Christmas card ID the legitimate
descendant Of the school pieces or
christmas pieces" which were popu-
lar from the beginning to the middle
OF the nineteenth century. These were
sheets Of writing paper, sometimes sur
rounded with those hideous and elab-
crate pen lourishes forming birds,
scrolls, etc, 80 unnaturally dear to the
hearts Of writing masters, and some
times beaded with copper plate engrav-
ings, plain or colored. These were
used by schoolboys at the approach Of
the holidays for carefully written let
tiers exploiting the progress they had
made In. composition and chirography.
Charity boys were large purchasers Of
these pieces, says one writer. and at
Christmas time used to take them
around their parish to show and at the
same time solicit a triie.
The Christmas card proper had its
tentative origin in 1854. Joseph Cum
dali. a London artist, claims to have
issued the first in that year. It was
printed in TYPOGRAPHY, colored by hand
and was Of the usual size of a lady's
card. = p.
Not until 1862. however, did the Gus
tom obtain any foothold. Then expert
ments were made with cards Of the
size Of an ordinary carte de viste, in
scribed simply "A Merry Christmas"
and "A Happy New Year." After that
came to be added robins and holly
branches, embossed figures and land
scupes. .

Hard to Find Good In Crow

s nara 10 Plno 1OOO ~ NTVWs
About as omnivorous as anything
could well be. crows eat dead animals
and are dreaded agents in the spread
ing of diseases such as hog cholera,
foot-and-mouth disease and glanders.
Unsuitable egg eaters, they scour the
fields, hedge rows, thickets and o--
chards for nests Of birds and even for
eggs Of the barnyard fowls. They dis
played, I well remember, almost human
intelligence in watching our turkey
hens to their nests, and then waiting
on some nearby fence stake or dead
tree top for the eggs. They follow the
wild ducks to their nesting grounds tn
the far north to feast on the eggs and
young. Prairie chickens suffer severe
~ from their d~epredations and the
pheasant preserves are the frequent
victims Of their marauding habits

Butter is churned from cooonut
milk as from cows milk. According
to a British patent Of late date the
milk is completely extracted by crush-
ing the fresh kernel Of the coconut
to a paste with the addition Of
skinned coconut milk from a later
stage. The cellulose is then separated
In a filter press, ana the resinous mat
ter is removed in q centrifugal sepa-
rator. The cream is then collected
from the purified milk in a centrifugal
cream separator. The separated cream
Is pasteurized, subjected - . laetic
fermentation, churned into butter, and
this is washed with water. Albumen
or vegetable casein Is precipitated
from the skinned coconut milk by
heat and powdered gypsum, and 10 COL
lected, washed, pressed and dried.

Paper UndercIothinQ.

An excellent and durable quality Of
underclothing has been made Of a fine
grained paper by Japanese manufac-
turers. After the paper has been cut
to a pattern the different parts are
sewn together and hemmed, and the
places where the b~uttonholes r to
be formed are strengthened with calico
or linen. The paper is very strong and
at the same time very flexible. After
a garment has been worn a few hours
it will interfere with the perspiration
of the body No more than do garments
made Of cotton fabric. The paper is
not sized, nor is 1t impermeable. After
becoming wet the paper is difficult to
tear. When an endeavor is made to
tear 1t by hand 1t presents almost as
much resistance as the thin skin used
for making gloves.

NOTE INCREASE OF RABIES
Recrudescence Of Dread Disease De-
cIared to Be a Direct Result
Of the War.

Among the plaques to follow the
great war, rabies must be reckoned
with. Already it has reappeared In
England, while from the very begin
ming an increase was apparent in
France. Before the struggle began
Belgium and the districts doomed to
be occupied in northern France
swarmed with dogs, and rabies was
sufficiently common. This abundance
was due in part to the extensive . Of
the dog as a draught animal in those
localities. After the invasion these
animals moved westward In large num-

HOW BOOKS ARE STERlLlzED
Simple Apparatus used by French Gel.
sntlsts In Conducting Their
Deadly Gas Attack.

Almost the first thing to meet the
eyes Of French ~hygienists In their war
time campaign for protecting the
younger generation was their old en-
envy, the circulating book, well known
40 a carrier Of disease. The many OBJ
vious solutions Of tho problem shared
one disadvantage while killing the
GERMS they destroyed the book also.
For the method perfected by Doctor
Marsoulan, and now practiced in the
Institute for Wounded and Infirm
Workmen at Montreuil, It il claimed
that for one-fourth Of q cent for each
book, and with safety to operators,
books can be sterilized without the
slightest injury. Two pieces Of very
simple apparatus are used, a heater
and a disinfector. ~
The beaten is a long box open at one
end and communicating at the other
with an ordinary stove. Inside Of the
beateE are wooden rods SO arranged
that the turning Of a handle will cause
them to strike on the books placed on
a sliding frame. AS the rods beat the
books, the heavier particles Of dust
fall out into a tray Of disinfectant be-
low, and the lighter r carried by an
exhaust fan to a stove, where they are
burned. r. .4 =
The books are hung, open, by spring
clips from a skeleton framework, and
wheeled into the d~isinfecting chamber,
which is equipped with a tank contain
ing a solution Of formaldehyde. The
temperature is raised to 12O degrees
Fahrenheit, the formaldehyde kills the
germs. and the fumes are carried of
by a funnel.-Popular Mechanics Mag

MYSTERY OF LIFE
Who Knows Where It Comes

and the Wild Thinos, In Their View
Of Death-lower Animals LIE.
tie Impressed.

Some folks talk about ''the mystery
Of life," and 1t is as good a way as any
to speak Of It. For, truth is. nobody
seems to know anything about life.
Yet everything pays attention to
living than to anything else. Prsc-
tically every motive in the world.
among the wild things, Is to live.
Not even man. with all his knowl.
edge, knows where life comes from. or
what 1t is, George F. Burba writes In
the Columbus Dispatch.
It is just the opposite Of death, he
will tell you; n either lives or dies.
# he is living, the body is In a certain
condition. The blood flows through
the veins. The heart beats. The body
Is warm. One is conscious Of that
which goes on abont him. The very
opposite is true when a thing is dead,
whether the thing is q man OF a dog
or a bird or a fish. But the why OF 1t
all-nobody understands that.
The wild things strive with all their
might to escape death, but they pay
little attention to the dead things about
them. It doesn't seem to make any
impression upon an animal to run up
on another animal that, is dead, out In
the woods. They fear death, but they
do not respect the dead, nor show any
emotion in the presence Of death.
They do not know what 1t is-that is,
they do not know that the dead crea.
ture they encounter in the woods is
dead and done for. If 1t is something
they want to devour, they devour It;
If it is not, they pass on without pay
ing much attention to 1t.
Death is more of a mystery to man.
That is, it impresses him to q great
er extent. He thinks more of it. He
tries no harder to live than do the wild
things, but there is something in con-
nection with the presence Of a dead
creature that impresses a human be-
ing. This is especially true If n en-.
counters death out in the fields or
woods. Tramping through a forest, and
coming suddenly upon a dead animal.
one pauses in contemplation of the
mystery before him. Yesterday q

woods in triumph; strong and swift
and beautiful conscious Of his strength

Sapphire ls New Fashion Gem.

That person who wishes to be In 1t,
to use the English equivalent for the
French phrase, will wear sapphires.
Such is the edict Of fashion. One rea-
son for this is that it has been com
paratively easy to initiate the ruby,
hitherto enthroned as the show gem.
Another probably is that the sapphire
has been somewhat neglected and it is
prudent to get rid Of accumulated
stock.
