FLEA EMBALMED in HONEY

1t is believed that the earliest fooG

very dry candy and it had lost its
sweetness, though it could still be
identified as honey.
In the bottom of the jar, well GOV.

precisely the same sort as those which
plague Egypt to this day. Apparently,
the insect had hoped into the jar

Handicapped by Superstition.
Mr.. Young pointed out that accord
ing TO the last issued bulletin of the
Department of Commerce for May,
1920. 10,121,SS1 pounds of walnuts
came TO the United States from China
in the II months ended with May, and
their vSlue was S1,SS7, ,491. He says
that the Chinese are still greatly
handicapped by their old superstitions.
After the age-old practice of having
all streets and passages irregular 20
that the evil spirits cannot find their
way, they are laying out their farms
in patchwork order, making the roads
rather difficult for anyone not famil-

"There is large and growing mar
ket in China for every kind Of ma
chinery," said Mr.. Young. "This Is
particularly true of machinery used in
the textile industry. The Chinese are
going to be competitors Of the whole
world In textiles. When a Chinaman
figures out anything and decides to
adopt it in his business he is not con-
tent to stop there. He is buying ma
chinery now for every process in which
he has learned its advantages.
"The Chinese have no feeling against
the Americans, but, of course, their
hatred for the Japanese grows worse.
Americans in business in China are
disappointed with the class Of men

that great postwar profits lie there.

ROMAN ROADS NOT PERFECT
Suitable for Traffic Of That Time, but
Would Not Last Under Mod
ern Conditions.

Modern opinion, examining the
bodybuilding Of the Romans and COM
pairing it with hat of today, has
reached conclusions which seriously
diminish the reputation of the RO-
man engineers, or at any rate show
that they built to meet the conditions
Of a certain kind of traffic. They
built for endurance, hlt their roads,
say these surprising critics, were so
rough that modern vehicles would be
shaken to pieces on them in short or
der. If julius Caesar had driven a
motor car along the Appian Way, so
suggests Motor Life, the journey
would have shaken him out of his
armor, shaken his plumed helmet off
his head, and presently have shaken
his motor into a worthless wreck. The
criticism comes from a study Of the
construction of the old Roman roads ;
bat from what one knows Of the RO-
mans, one may feel reasonably cer-
tain that if Caesar had been wont to
GO about in an automobile the Roman
engineers would have built roads that
would have made motoring less ex-
citing and expensive. And the Ro-
man chariot, one may imagine,
bumped in moderation because it's
pace was limited to match hat Of the
marching legions.

around this island in hundreds OF
thousands; and some fine morning,
when the snow has disappeared from
the top, they rise in a compact body
flying fully a thousand feet in the air,
then lowering and circling for half an
hour around and round the top Of the
island, darkening the ground with the
shadow of their wings, then settling

LIFTS HANDICAP FROM DEAF
knowledge Of Lip Reading Restores
Afflicted to Their Place in the
Industrial World.

Deafness Is a %tribulation. but It's ef-
fects are more psychological than
physical. Deaf men as a rule have less
difficulty in getting jobs than bave
men with more obvious handicaps. The
real handicap in deafness is that 1t is
more calculated to inspire Impotence
than sympathy, and Is q consequence,
deaf men grow suspicious, irritable
and complaining. The deaf man is q
trial to himself and to the world. and
he walks quite alone. Communication
is the one thing that can restore him
to normal contracts.
In order to effect this the Modern
Hospital advocates lip reading as his
immediate necessity and salvation If
he is to maintain a wholesome place
in the world Of industry.
A peculiarly Of speech reading Is
that a person who can hear, cannot
learn it.
There is a wide variety Of Industrial
conditions which contribute to deaf
ness. Because of these hazards, the
tndustrially employed form an extern
sive problem. Without training they
are not only liable t o discomfort and
u~npopularity, but they are a source Of
risk because Of their inability to under
stand orders. From two points of view
the deaf have a great need for a
knowledge of lip reading, and should
learn 1t at all costs. It fits them for
an independent, useful career in in
dustry, and in many ways re-estab-
fishes an intimate connection with nor
nal life.
