First Editions.

To the average book buyer who buys
his book in a book store and takes u
home to read, how extraordinary
must appear the point OF view Of his
fellow citizen who buys his books at
auction and, very likely, never reads
them at all; for example, the happy
purchaser who recently paid $14,250 IN
New York, for a copy OF MIltoa's
"Comus ~ There are, however. some
remarkable things about this 'fCOmus."
There is hardly another copy like if
in the world. It is a first edition, ded-
icated to the son OF the Earl OF Bridge
water, with the Bridgewater crest inn
pressed on the binding; the mask it-
self was produced at Ludlow castle IN
1854, ION MichaelmasSe Night Before
the Right Honorable John, Earl OF
Bridgewater." And it Is still as good
as new, for If remained in the Bridge
water library till 1917. when it was
purchased by a collector, who sold e
in 1913, to Mr.. II. V Jones OF Mime
apolis, for 5000. It was Mr.. Jones
who sold II, the other day. for $14,25a

HAD GONE WEST"
Pathetic Incident in Hospital
Bombarded by Huns.
Wounded Young French Infantry on
Ger Thought He was Going lover
the Top" and in That Be-
lief Passed On.

The head nurse watched the stretch
er bearers clStter slowly and awkward
ly down the path and disappear in the
darkness bearing between them a 81
lent, blanket-wrapped figure. Then
slowly and thoughtfully she turned and
entered the field hospital tent The
pale little nurses aid, CARRIED in the
picturesque blue of the American Red
Cross, rose and came to meet her. In
Subdued whispers, scarcely audible in
the big vacant stiffness Of the tent,
she told the story of any changes
which had taken place in the condition
Of the boys who lay so bravely silent
on the so tiny cots.
"Bartrand, that young infantry Off
Ger in bed No. 9, with the bad chest
wOund-he does not seem right" she
said softly. His lips are blue, and he
sleeps so much"
Bring your FASH replied the head
nurse, as she led the way over to the
dark corner, where, in a bed separated
from the rest, the young Bartrand lay,
apparently sleeping. Leaning over him
lightly, with a mother touch she laid
her hand on his forehead. The boys
eyes opened, dazedly, and blinked in
the glare OF the aids fashlight- Then,
as with an effort, he smiled.
Suddenly the tent flap nearest them
opened. The Scotch orderly entered,
reached quickly for the knob that gov
erned the big center tent light and
switched it off Without a word the
aid covered her flash and sprang to
extinguish the desk light, while old
Macdun, the trusty, crept along the
tent wall behind the beds to be sure
that each window was tightly closed.
Overhead there gradually came into
hearing a steady, regularly interrupted
drone. like that of malignant insect
then f1ash-a great roar, not very far
away-and the tent shook like a leaf
in the wind At the first sound of the
raid Bartrand had started, sitting up
right in bed. The head nurse, helpless
in the intense darkness and fearing to
make him more restless by attempting
to put him down, held him in her arms.
Soon, says Modern Hospital, in relat-
ing the story, he began to call out or
ders, rapidly, precisely, like a man who
was used to being obeyed. and then
still louder, with more spirit, until his
voice rang and reverberated through
the open spaces of the tent "Atten-
ton = AllOns, mes enfantsl - En-
avantI"
From somewhere in the darkness
the voice of the aid, trif1e shaky,
said: HE thinks he's going over
Another fiash-anOther defamation
this time nearer. The head nurse felt
something warm and wet soaking the
front of her uniform. Then a silence
it seemed for ages. Finally Macdun,
flashing on the light, called out:
They're gone, the beggars %
He came over to the bed and gave
one look at the burden the head nurse
held in her arms. Then. taking of his
hat, he held 1t, folded, in front OF his
coat

think there's just work for me and the
stretcher bearers now. The puir lad

crippled by the tragedy of infantile paralysis That
falth IS fast coming to the top again, after they
have been given the much-needed attention.
The women of the motor corps feel that if there
is anything they do to make these children
whole again they are going to do 1t. large per-
centage OF the treatments given the children is
successful as most of the children young.
Another form of service rendered by the women
OF the motor CORPS still using Jamaica as an illus
tration, takes the district all over the city
This nurse follows up the Of the children
who have been treated at the hospital and does
good work in finding out what the other needs of
the children are. In some cases it is nourishing
food, in others shoes, in others clothes.
There is only one district nurse in Jamaica and
her salary is paid out Of the proceeds of second
hand clothing shop which is run by the welI-tO-do
women of the community This shop is patronfzed
by the poorer people of Jamaica and has proved a
source of great help to them.
One day a stability dressed woman walked into
the shop ard looked around. She saw two Holland
shades the counter and paid three cents apiece
for them. The woman who waited on her was
very interested and could not imagine what she
wanted the shades for, when she was evidently in
greater need of other things. few days later the
woman reappeared at the store and proudly dis
played white waist and pair Of white pants her
little boy wearing
st bleached the shades" she said, because we
have opportunity to go away to the country for
a week. We told that we must have a change
of clothes, so was able to make change by doing
this. We are going away tomorrow"
The giver OF the shades would feel glad If she
could know what good had been accomplished by
her act.
Jamaica is not the only city where the people
have realized what the word service" stands for
In New York state alone there are ninety-two
branches Of the National League for Women's
Service, and the league has a national enrolment
of three hundred thousand members and Is estab-
lfshed in thirty-eight states.

strange facts. not the least of which
is that the dyestuffs undergo a chem

such an extent that you can never

Another fact OF great Importance
is that he has found that different
granules OF the same cell absorb off
ferent dyes and manifestly perform
different roles.

'sTo stick like limpet'' is an old say

that a limpet is able to stick as ii does

emily of the edge or frin which sur

American Chemical Prodye+.

The interest In chemistry and chem
Zeal products has greatly increased In
the United States owing to the fact
that this country has been forced by
the war to depend upon its own re-
sources in this direction. The follow

products: In making soap and paper

mineral oils, caustic soda is used soda

Process Developed by War

Making parabOlic mirrors by chemi-
cal deposition on a glass mold is de-
scribed as one Of the war-quiekened
processes a layer OF silver was de-
posted chemically on a highly polished
glass mirror, and was thickened cleo
trolytically, after which it was given
a sixteenth inch plating of copper and
a suitable backing of strengthening
material Difference in expansion on
heating gave a ready means of loosen
ing the metal from the glass. The
silver surface was given a waterproof
and heatproof coating OF lacquer, and
was ready for use In much less time
than would have been required for
grinding and polishing a glass mirror.
