CANA JAPoNESA

Sc ha iniciado con vivo entusiasmo
el cultivo de la CANA Japonesa EN- los
pueblos del oeste de La isla. Los agri-
cultores Sc sicnten llenos de optimis-
mo con esta variedad de cana la es-
tan plantando en- gran escala con
,pgeferencia a todas las demas varieda-
Ges. En- puebios como San German y
sabana Grande todas las otras varie-
dades dc cana han sido desp1azadas
For Ia Japonesa. Hubo una epoca en-
cue Sc rechazaba esta cana, 6poca en-
que cada cual argumentaba a su ma
nera unos decian que no servia por
10 fra; otrcs, por 10 pobre en- sucro-
50 y pureza; otroa, por ser dificil de
cortar; y otros porque las centralcs no
la aceptarian sino con grandes des-
cuentos; ETC., Pero aldando el tempo,
VINO Ell corte de las piezas establecis
tias, y cuando Sc observe que una cuers
10 de Gaia Japonesa renilia 25. 80 II

des no acostumbraban a rendir mas de
6 7 toneladas, Y cuando Sc vi6 que

ojos de todos los agricultores la s'be-

PAPYRUS BOOKS WERE ROLLS
Modern Term "VoIume" Has Been
Found to Have Had Its Origin in
These Cylindrical Works.

In forming papyrus into books 1t
was customary among the ancients to
use long sheet or web of it, and roll
1t upon stick, as is the custom in re-
spect to maps at the present day, says
the Detroit News. The writing was in
columns, each of which formed sort
of page, the reader holding the ends of
the roll in his two hands and reading at
the part which was open between
them. AS he advanced he continually
unrolled on one side and rolled up on
the other.
The term volume" used IN respect
to modern books, had its origin in this
ancient practice of writing upon long
rolls. The long sheet was rolled upon
a wooden billet, which gave the volume
a certain firmness and solidity, and af-
forded it great protection.
The ends of the roller projected be-
yond the edges of the sheet and were
terminated in knobs or bosses, which
guarded in some measure the edges of
the papyrus or rolls of parchment,
which were often made in the same
manner. The whole volume was also
inclosed in a parchment case, on the
outside of which the title of the work
was conspicuously recorded.

This telegram was brought to the
Coolidge home at PlyIhouth Notch by
w. A. Perkins of Bridgewater, who
owns the telephone line running from
Bridgewater to Plymouth. About five
minutes later newspaper men arrived
in Ludlow.
A drive of thirty miles through the
mountains brought them to the Cool
idge summer home.
Mr.. Coolidge and Mrs. Coolidge had
retired about an hour before the death
messages were received. Ten minutes
after the arrival of the newspaper men
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge came downstairs
into the sitting room of the Coolidge
home. Mr.. Coolidge was dressed in
black sack suit and wore a black neck
tie. Mrs. Coolidge wore a black and
white gown, white shoes and stockings.
Mr. Coolidge was very pale and showed
deep regret for President Harding's
death. He seated himself at a table,
while Mrs. Coolidge brought a lamp
and read the kilograms he had re-
ceived.
He then called his assistant secre-
tary, Irwin Geisser, and dictated to
him his statement and the telegram to
Mrs. Harding.
Mrs. Coolidge Weeps.
In the meantime people were arriv-
ing from all directions. Mr. Coolidge,
seeing the house becoming crowded,
gave orders that an adjoining house
be opened for use as press headquar-
ters.
Meanwhile, the new first lady of the
land sat weeping softly and exclaim-
ing in sympathy for the bereaved first
lady in San Francisco.

to poor Mrs. Harding" she said. "She
had had such a heavy burden, In her
own illness, to bear up under-and
now this"
Finally Secretary Geisser returned
with the press copies Of the state
ments, and pushing back the old
photograph album and the family Bible
on the center table, Mrs. Coolidge
busted herself with the work of help
ing distribute them.
The newspaper men had scarcely
gotten out of sight when another tele-
graph messenger arrived with a CODY
of the presidential oath from Wash
ington. In the same sitting room
with its hand-braided rugs, its clutter
of venerable colonial furniture, its old
wood stove and its family Bible-Cal-
vim Coolidge received the oath of Office
from his father.
President Coolidge left Plymouth
early Friday morning by automobile
for Rutland to catch a train for New
York, where he Immediately boarded
a train for Washington He was ac-
companied by Mrs Coolidge.
He was mentioned as a possibility
for the presidential nomination prior
to the 1920 campaign, but he made a
public announcement that he would |
not consider the nomination. His !
domination and election to the vice |
