Removing Stamp from Paper

Care should be taken in removing
-aper from the backs OF specimens bo-
fore mounting them, pulling off hinges,
ETC., often damaging the stamp. Most
stamps can be soaked preferably IN hot
water and dried on plotting paper.
A few like Russians, early Bulgar-
fans, current United States due stamps
1885 issue of China, recent British
ard British Colonial stamps having
green in their coloring, and stamps
printed on chalk surfaced paper are
effected by water and should not be
immersed in It. A piece of wet blot
ting paper placed against the hack I'M
Ill the paper is damp enough to re-
move is the best way to treat them.
OF course mounting is only to be
done with hinges. and care should be
used not to soil the stamp or page
when it is done.

Accurate instruments

For exact punctuality there are few
things in the possession of the United
States government that approach the
big telescope in the Washington OBJ
seryatory, and its partner, the sideral
clock that hangs on the wall near it.
BY the aid of thisteIesco pc and the
clock, it is possible to locate star In
the heavens on the exact instant pre-
dicted by astronomers a score of years
ago and set down in the almanac. A
strand of spider web wire across the
field of the telescope marks the pas
sage of star. It is seldom that the
telescope and the clock vary as much
as quarter of a second in verifying
the astronomical calculations. The
clock is one of the most perfect time
keepers in the world today.

Up a little lane of Lerwick's one

garden-at least, it is an enclosed

Great Cost Of |
Operating Telephones

The New York Telephone Company
began the presentation Of
testimony on the valnati Of its
property In New Jersey before the
Board Of Public Utility Commissioners
in support Of its application for
increased local telephone rates. For
the most part, the witnesses were local
real estate experts who gave their
appraisals Of the values of the land
owned by the telephone and buildings
have been erected. Their appraisals
| did not include the value of the
buildings.
AT the opening Of the morning
session, FranRland Briggs, attorney
for the company, stated the company's
necessity for making the first general
increase in local rates in New Jersey in
more than ten ears, and declared
that the pr posed rates were reasonable
and would not exceed the value Of the
service. Mr.. Briggs pointed out in
general terms the growth of the New
jersey telephone system since the
pre-war years, and explained how
telephone expenses hal increased
enormously since 1914. Higher wage
schedules. higher taxes and raising
costs of contructi and maintenance
were included as principal factors in
the company's increased operating
expenses.
The first witness for the company
was Harland A. Trax, Chief Accountant
who testified that while the company
earned net return Of about percent
on its New Jersey property in 1919, the
return in 1923 had dropped to
considerably less than 6 percent.
Based on a single unit. Mr.. Trax said
that since 1919 the coiDpany's plant IN
vestment per telephone had increased
from 5 s1.22 to $204.85 in 1928, and that
net revenues per telephone had
decreased from $15.38 in 1919 to $11.75
in 1928.
These witnesses were cross-examined
By Senator Thomas Brown, unset
for the Utility board.
At Tuesdays session. it was announc-
ed that State League of Municipalities
had retained Frank l.. Sommers of
Newark, as counsel for theLeague in the
North Jersey telephone inquiry.
Showing by witnesses that the fair
market valne OF all its land in New
jersey, without buildings. is about
81, 074. 900, the New York Telephone
Company completed the first step
in offering testimony before the public
Utilities Commission on the value of
its New Jersey system in support of
its application for new local telephone
rates. This phase of the inquiry was
conducted by Edward w. Beattie, the
company's Tax Attorney, by introduce
ing the testimony of local real estate
experts who hal made appraisals of
the Telephone company's land. The
witnesses were cross-examined by for
mer Senator Thomas Br wn. Counsel
for the Utilities Board and Frank HI.
Sommer, who made his first appear
ance as counsel for the State
League of Municipalities in the North
jersey telephone inquiry.
Real estate appraisers gave testi
mony on the bare land of the
companv's properties in the following
places: Elizabeth $101,0 900; Passaic,

"A scientist says he always thought
little fish were protected against the
mouths OF the big fish chiefly by their
markings looking like the stones and
reeds in the water. but he now con-
cludes that all shinging, silvery fish
IRE mirrors rejecting the dark bottom
cf the pond, and 1t is only when such
fish come to the surface that the light
shines on them, and they become in
visible to the big fish that prey on
little fish. So long as the little, silvery
fish stay close to the Bottom they look
like mud and stones. only showing
their shining silver when they come
near the top. and so are soon swaE

The inventor Of the Compass

Flavio Gioja introduced or improved
Che mariners compass about the con-
clusion of the eleventh century; pre-
yiously a needle was magnitized by
the lodestone run through piece Of
straw or wood and floated in saucer
or shallow dish, containing water.
Then as the old chronicler says: 1.-THE
point infallibly turns to ward the pole
star, and when the night is dark and
gloomy and neither star nor moon is
visible, they set light beside the
needle, and they can be assured that
Ire star is opposite to the point, and
thereby the mariner is directed on his
course. This is an art which cannot
deceive.

How Chinese Trap EaaIes

Thousands, of Chinese hunters trap
wild eagles in Mongolia every year by
tie employment of tame eagles as de-
cos. They carry the tame eagles on
their shoulders and when likely To-
cality is reached they arrange nets.
within which are placed large quanti-
ties of bait, usually small fish.
Operating lines are stretched to 3
distance of about 500 yards from the
nets and when the wild birds have
Joined the tame ones at the feast these
nets are brought into action. The val
ue of the capture depends upon the
condition of the feathers, which are
used for fans. Only the largest feath-
ers are of use. and a fan OF black
feathers, white near the middle, brings
as high as SIS.
