A Boys Science.

Al interesting story is told of the
childhood of Prof. FEDERICO
Delpino, of Naples. His earlier years
were largely spent in his fathers gar
den at Chiavari, where he grew fond
of studying the habits of ants, bees
and wasps, and discovered by his own
observation the manner in which the
great black bee, Xylocopa vic
lacea, constructs it's nests:
Years afterward, when Delpino Wa
employed in the customs service, i.
friend called his attention to the II ;
port of an English naturalist descrih-
ing the manner in which the same be-
pollinates the flower of an orchid. Tie
memory of his childhood's studies in
stantly came back, and he exclaimed
that the insect performed similar
service for the flowers of the Aslepia j.

his statement, and the result was =

may be applied in this relation. This
tree is known as the bassia, and Of
the three important species two show
sugary flowers and the third is called

rich in sugar, and drop from the tree
in the early morning. They are picked

Nom Church GOers
Campaign in Hub

Boston. Oct. ID "a. P.)-Preachers
of many denominations from all
parts of the country and from
Canada and England will participate
in series of daily services in
historic Kings Chapel now under
way and to continue until next May
for the purpose of drawing non
church goers into some church, re-
CARELESS of denomination. College
presidents and prominent writer's al
so will be among the speakers. On
one day of each week the service will
he entirely musical.
The first Kings Chapel was erect
ed in 1855 and the present structure
was built in 1749. 1t was the first
Episcopal church in Boston and here
the British officers worshipped while
the city was besieged by the Con-
tinental army in the Revolution. In
1885 1t became the first Unitarian
church in the United States and has
since been affiliated with that de-
nomination. The present pastor is
Rev. Harold f. B. Speight.
The Preaching Mission, as 1t IL to
be known, was opened by the ring
ing for the first time in years of the
Paul Revere bell in the church tower
and the playing of several chorales
by eight trombonists from the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra stationed
in the balcony outside the tower
The first preachers were DR.
Alexander MacColl, minister Of the
Second Presbyterian Church, Phil
adelphia. and Rev. Vivian T. Pome-
roy. Congregationalist, of Bradford
England.

Rice Field Waste Valuable

From the fibrous rice materials
the hulls, straw, and fibers-which
formerly cost money to dispose OF,
now is being made a product that
not only brings a return to the plant
ers and the mills, but finds a ready
use as an economical substitute for
boneblack in refining sugar, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine in an
illustrated article. The fact was dis
covered by accident when a chemist
who was experimenting with the
paper making qualities of rice waste
left some of it in his drying oven Tor
several days. He found that though
the waste had become thoroughly
carbonized, it had not shrunk or lost
it's shape, which indicated it to be a
porous material Of clarifying prop
critics. He mixed some with molass-
es and there was no change, but
when he boiled it with caustic soda
to remove the silica, and then mixed
it with molasses, the mixture cleared
up at once.
AS a decolorizer it is mixed with
sugar solution in the proportion of
one half pound to 100 pounds of SUI
gar, heated in a suitable tank, and
filtered. The material still possesses
considerable coagulating properties
and gum absorbing power, and is
used for clarifying impure cane juice.

More Bibles Read
From Year to Year

London, Oct. 2 CA. p. by MaiD-
People are reading the Bible today
more than ever before, says the
Daily Telegraph, which quotes f1g-
ures of the British and Foreign Bible
Society to support its assertion.
There was an increase in the num-
Der of Bibles published in the Eng
lish and Welsh languages during the
war, followed by q decrease after the
close of hostilities. The year 1922
again showed an increase, however.
which points to a revival of Bible
reading in the homeland"
Significant of the worldwide In
f1uence of the Bible are the society's
figures of their issues in all langu-
ages for the past century and a
quarter. The figures are summaries
of totals at intervals of -25 years, and
include Bibles. Testaments, and por-
tons of the Scriptures:
1908. S1,157 1883. 1854, 636
1888. ). 536,S4l 1908. .5.6S8,381
1858. 1,602,1S7 1929. .S,679,3S4
Take, too, the test of translation.
Homer has been rendered into more
than a score OF foreign languages,
and Shakespeare into nearly forty.
Both together fall far short of the
TRANSACTIONS OF the Bible, for the
Gospel has been actually printed In
more than 700 different forms of
human speech, and the Bible Society,
as their share of this work. has help
ed to spread the message in 55S
languages and dialects.

All Professions Open to German
Women

Theoretically all professions IN
Germany are now open to women.
This includes even stock-broklng,
and already the first woman broker
has been admitted to deal on the
Corn Exchange. Only the pulpit IS
still closed to her, and here 1t Is not
the state but the ecclesiastical courts
that refuse to permit women to take
holy orders Women. however. study
theology and present themselves at
examinations for lectures on divinity
and assist clergymen in their parish
work as lay curates or deaconesses.
In Baden a woman officiates as min
lister of the Gospel in a womens
prison. :.
For some years and in the face OF
innumerable difficulties German
women sought to enter the legal
profession. but until the present time
their work in the law courts was
chiefly that of clerks without emolu--
ment, because they were not allowed
to pass the final examination. Only
in July, 1922, was a bill enacted to
remove these barriers. Another new
law permits women to serve as
Jurors. and on Dec. 81. 1922, for the
first time a case in Berlin was tried
before jury that included women
