ENGLISH STAMP COLLECTOR.
A Collection Which Is Said to Be Worth
a Million Dollars.

An important addition has recently
been made TO the Tapling collection OF
postage stamps in the British Museum.
The collection is one of the finest ever
gathered by a British philatelist and its
value at present Is estimated to exceed
81 100000. 1t was bequeathed to the
British Museum by T. X. TAPPING, a
member of parliament for Leicester
shire, who died in 1891 at the age of 80.
His stamp collection then contained
more than 100000 specimens. including
a great number of minor varieties and
different shades in coloring of stamps
of the same denomination and issue
BY his gift to the British Museum, Great
Britain is the only nation which
possesses a really valuable and compre-
hensive collection of postage stamps of
old issues and from various countries.
The addition which has lately been
made and which virtually brings the
TAPPING collection up to date has been
provided under the auspices of f. ID,
Bacon, president of the Royal Philatelic
society and official curator of the Tap
ling collection of the stamps of Great
Britain and the British colonies cover
ing the period from 1890 to 1920, includ-
ing chiefly modern stamps of the Crown
colonies and protectoTates presented by
che Crown agents. The stamps are pre-
served in a series of loose-leaf albums,
but plans are being made to exhibit
them in one of the galleries of the
British Museum. An alphabetical list
of the most notable additions has been
published in the journal issued by the
ROYAL Philatelic society.
The late Mr.. TAPPING began the col
lection of postage stamps at the age of
10 years. During his lifetime he pUr-
chased several large private collections
One of the best he bought in Paris
paving about $4,000, which prior to
1880, was an, exceptional price to pay
for a private stamp collection.-Rutland

American merchant in China, but it
proves that competition is the life (and
sometimes the DEATH of trade. Our
China trade was languishing because our
merchants could not compete on basis
of equality with British, japanese and
French merchants in China, whose gov
ernments had for many years devised
means of exempting them from income
tax on their China business.
The Hongkong ordinances have long
afforded British firms who wish TO do
business in China q tax-free vehicle for
their trade, and British companies or
ganized under these ordinances have
never had to pay dollar to the British
treasury for corporation income tax
Likewise. the japanese and French gov
ernments have both devised means of re-
uniting income taxes paid by their ma
tlonals on China business. Hence the
American merchant has been operating
under severe handicap ever since 1919.

ELECTRIC CURRENT AS FOOD.
Can Be Made to Serve TO Some Extent
i'm Place of Nom'ishment.

4 French scientist has brought out
the fact that electric current can pc
made to serve to some extent IN the place
of nourishment for the human body.
Should this idea be carried to ITS ful-
lest limits it may be possible. 1T Is
thought i'm some quarters, to dispense
with taking food and simply remain Tor
few minutes in high-frequency
electric cage so as to have the body sat
urated with what might be called cleo
trical nourishment, or, III more accurate
language. the electric currents act TO
restore energy to the human body IN q
manner which is analogous to the effect
of food.
When high frequency currents first
began to be used. is is SAID, 1t was
shown that these could set up very strlk-
ing heat effects in the organism, so that
the human body is internally heated.
Owing to their harmless action, no other
effect than development of heat is pro-
duced.
The liver, heart or brain can receive
the high-frequency currents without any
bad effect upon their working. Thus the
current can supply as large an amount
of energy as is desired by the human body,
provided the heat is not brought too high
so as to cause death of the protoplasm,
as occurs in Doyen's INSTRUMENTATION
method. But it is not hard TO keep with
in the proper limits and no danger need
occur.
With some organisms which are weak
ened on account of their being deprived
of nourishment for any cause the gem
eral temperature may become lowered
even by two degrees. A person can thus
lose quantity of heat which Is repre-
scented by one twelfth of the daily ration
of that organism.
1t is, therefore, wonderful result to
make uD for this deficit without
calling upon the digestive organs, and
without increasing ones daily rations,
also without introducing any drugs into
the blood or tissues. Electricity allows
of sending a quantity of energy, which
may be considerable, into the living or
ganism under the form of high frequency
and low-tension currents and this action
can be repeated as often as is needed.
1t is found that IN experiments made
at Bordeaux college with oyerworked
or enfeebled persons, anemics and the
like, the current causes a toning up OF
the system. Force reappears and con
siderable gain i'm weight Is claimed
Commenting on this. Doyen remarks
| that we once thought that chemistry
would solve the problem of food. and that
we could be nourished by chemical pro
| ducts. But this does not appear to be
+. realized even in this age of progress

come in where chemistrv failed, and in

Bleaching Foods.

Sulphur dioXide has always been con
sidered effective in bleaching foods. but
those manufacturers who use this bleach
ing agent have had great difficulty in re-
moving all traces OF the bleach after its
work was done. The government pre-
scribes that food bleachcd in this way
must contain no trace of sulphur. i
process has now been patented which en-
ableS the manufacturer to use sulphur
fumes for this purpose without encounter
ing any difficulty in their subsequent re-
moval After the bleaching action Is
finished. enough hydrogen peroxide IS
added TO remove all traces of sulphur
dioxide still left in the food. This process
can be applied with good results to the
bleaching of cherries, gelatine. fruits,
syrups, nuts, potatoes. apples and
cereals.-Industria Digest.
