SEEK TOO GREAT ACCURACY
Even Celebrated Engineers Have Been
Known to Waste Time on I'm.
necessary Measurements.

There can be too great accuracy, ac-
cording to Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering, which says:
"We recall one instance where q
celebrated engineer was preparing a
set of tables for publication and was
using set of 12-place logarithms. We
asked why he used 12-place tables and
he replied that they were the best he
could find, that he had heard there
were 20-place tables but he had been
unable to locate them. The interest
ing thing about this anecdote is that
practically all the data which the cele-
DRAFTED engineer was tabulating had
an accuracy which was seldom better
than / per cent, and an ordinary 12-
inch slide rule would have been amply
accurate for the work.
again, when young engineer Is
about to make a mathematical calcu-
lation, say for example the surface of
heating coils necessary to obtain GER
tain results, he will almost invariably
sit down and calculate it to an ac-
euracy of tenth or even a hundredth
Of per cent, and this in spite Of the
fact that the constant factor In the
equation (the rate of heat transfer)
may not be known within so per cent.
Herein lies one excellent reason
why many a practical man with good
common sense and wide experience
has been able to compete with en-
gineerS in many fields"

The law, like every other profession,

wore q special kind Of head covering.
to distinguish them from their clerical

When Tin the sixteen dundreds) the
wig was introduced into England from

all bewigged. Indeed. the wig was an
essential part Of clerical dress. nor

AS TO TURKEY In EUROPE
Question Involves Not Geographical
Matters but the Introduction
OF the Famous Bird.

There is a turkey question. 1t Is
not of capital moment and it Is GER
tain that the fate of Europe is not
involved in its solution, but It is still
curious, because 1t raises a point In
gastronomic history.
At what epoch did the turkey make
its first appearance on the European
continent?
Anderson and Crucy assert that the
first turkey eaten in France was at
the marriage Of Charles TX, |. e., in
1911. Now, document has been dis
covered of 1890 where mention is
made of the Indian fowls of Charles
VIII, two years before Columbus first
voyage, although this precious bird
had come from America.
Until now it was thought that the
first turkeys raised in France were in
Bourges in 1913. On the other hand,
1t is confidently declared that these
birds were introduced somewhat later
In Spain, whence they were taken to
England In 1924.
A grave problem indeed. Who will
furnish the solution?

The Child and the Animal.

Everyone knows how quickly the
child's interest is aroused in the pres
ence of an, animal. He takes to it
much more naturally than to one of
his own kind. This seems to be in
stinctive in childhood, and within rea-
sonable limits parents should encour
age it. Children brought up with ami
NAL pets are bound to show the infiu-
ence of that companionship through
out the rest of their lives, but 1t is
of great Importance that parents and
others should teach young children
how to handle these pets Of which
they really become so fond They

much that they did not know before.
They discerned masses of glistening
white at the poles. which most Of them
think are composed Of snow and ice,
though some of them consider the
patches to be deposit of crystallized
carbonic-acid gas. They also saw
areas of green, which, say one author

DRESS OF PREHISTORIC TIMES
Remarkable Frocks Worn at Recent
Display Staged In the City
Of London.

Wearing a dress copied from rock
drawing found in Altamira, Spain,

the most remarkable thing about this
costume was that it might have come
from a fashionable modiste of today,
SO near to present-day fashion did it
seem. according to the London Daily
Graphic.
Lady Warrenden's frock was esti-
mated to represent fashion existent
any time between 10000 and 100000
years ago. One young lady wore a
Spanish dancing frock believed to- be
q replica of one worn at least 100000

and chest, she wore brown tights I'M

covered with real plumage, and feath-

The Daily Graphic describes the at

Queen Boadicea (whose statue stands
on Westminster bridge. close to the
houses Of parliament). This embraced
a straight, full tunic, in royal blue
woven cloth, over a plated tartan
skirt. similar in character to those
7olors still worn by the highlanders.
Round the tunic were bands of parti-
colored embroidery, while a graceful
wrap of dark gray cloth was flung

AMERICAN TREES IN GREECE
New Verdure for Barren Hills Around

Mrs. P. Martineau, the expert Oh
Horticulture and tree planting. has JUST
returned to England from visit to
Athens, where she has been advising
the king and queen of the Hellenes In
the culture and laying out of gardens.
She has spent a good deal Of time in
California and has found that the
drought-resisting trees and flowers OF
that country are particularly suited to
Greek soil.
The queen has formed small soci-
ETY. among her friends with the object
Of furthering tree planting in the coun-
try. All the streets of Athens have
been planted with pepper trees, the
tight green foliage, of which, with clus-
,ers of berries, is very effective. The
pepper tree, an evergreen, is native
Of California Another tree seen there
is the maritime pine, with which the
queen hopes to clothe the hills Of
Greece as far as possible. Some of
the small hills surrounding Athens arc
already covered with this drought-re
sisting tree, which is particularly suited
to a soil which is practically lime and
dust. The maritime pine grows very
quickly, and Mrs. Martineau thinks
that the covering of the hills around
Athens may have the effect Of bringing
more rain.

The result of this brain starvation Is
that the wearer becomes lethargic. and
stupid and dull in his school work.
His brain is not up to the tasks It is
required to perform; he becomes in

over his books in semi-dazed man

terest in athletics, and this tends to
reduce his vitality and mental ac-
tivity.
Although the effect of wearing
high, stiff collar is not so noticeable
in the case of an adult, it is not good
for the general health, and also leads
to colds.
The old-fashioned stiff collar with
turned-down corners is still worn by
Doctor Chamberlain, while for years
Lloyd George has worn a kind OF
Gladstone collar, but without the gap
at the throat
Bernard Shaw has always de

Armies Breathe.

Every living organism, whether ami.

Any organism which does not
breathe may be considered dead. Now.
ripe apples plucked from apple trees
are not dead They are not so vigor-
ously alive as while the sap ran

apples stored in common air.
No doubt the oxygen stimulates
