The most wonderful, and at the same

world is in South America. 1t begins
and ends 1000 miles from civilization.
The terminus of steam navigation up

The task of getting European goods
into northeastern Bolivia used to be
gigantic. 1t took six months, and
every pound had to be carried on the

The railway was begun as long ago as

RegroUing Forests

The regrowth of timber provided for
in the national forests where the or
iginal stand of timber is cut and re-
moved varies with the forest types
involved. In many forest types the
regrowth is present in the form Of
seedlings or saplings at the time that
the overstOre of old and mature tim
Der is removed. Where this is not the
case carefully selected trees are left
standing From these trees come tie
seed that regenerates the area. In the
case of Douglas fir on the Pacific
coast, seed is stored up of such guam
titles in the duff on the ground that
the best results are obtained by cut
ting the area clean and depending on
this stored seed supply for regenera-
ton. In some cases 1t is necessary to
plant after cutting in order to insure
a second crop within a reasonable
time.

Quaint Annual Festival
in Sh0kespeares Tour

Coming almost coincidentaliy witt,
Thanksgiving day in Canada, Is cele-
brated at the historic town OF Strai
ford-On-Avon, immortaliZed by VIII
liam Shakespeare, what is called the
annual Mop" day, the Montreal FAM
ly Herald tells u.s. Its name was de-
rived from the oldtlme custom of men
with mops journeying through the
streets; but although this has now
died out. the fair has never lost its
quaint name. Pigs and other animals
are roasted whole in the streets, in
small, walled-in spaces. At the larg
est Mop, which was just before the
outbreak of the war with Germany,
there were SO pigs and 16 other
beasts roasted. The meat is sold at
adjacent tables or to the citizens who
send their servants to fetch it. Part
of the custom is to eat Banbury cakes
on Mop day. Originally hiring fair,
both for farm hands and for maidserv-
ants, u fortnight later it is followed
by the Runaway Mop" This was in
stituted for those who, having found
their situations unsatisfactory, had
run away Servants hired at the
Little Mop" were forced to keep their
places until the big Mop" came
around again. For the big Mop"
there are countless caravans and side
shows, switchbacks, and wild-beast
shows; but for the Runaway" there
are only small number, as few as
five pigs and two beasts sometimes
sufficing for the roast.

English Cider Customs

Cider making is quite an institution
in England. John Phillips, the poet,
praised the sweet Hereford cider as
surprising Tokay and all other foreign
vintages. footnote to history re-
lates that the earl of Manchester, am
bassador in France, frequently palmed
off this sweet cider on the French
noblesse as wine beyond price. In
the West country the old ritual called
"Griggling" is remembered, country
boys forming bands to tour the or
chards, and climb after the small
worthless apples. or griggles. The
ringleader would be expected to report
at the farmhouse, aud recite a certain
moral fable, entitled "A Rude Boy
Stealing Apples" and telling of such
rude ones fates. The good wife Of
the farm would then pour out cider
for all, a libation to insure her pro-
lection, another year, against rude rob

Cliffs Fall Laid Bare
Treasure Long Hidden

One of the most dramatic discover
les in the history of archaeology &C.
Cured when a fall Of the cliff near
Byblos, Syria, scooped a corner out
of a rock-cut tomb over 1000 years
old, the existence of which had long
been suspected but never proved.
The slide revealed to a passer-by
huge sarcophagus with a unique lid,
having large mushroom-shaped knobs
by which, no doubt, 1t was originally
handled The rock hereabouts is very
porous, and a layer Of muddy soil,
knee deep, which had filtered down
through the ages, covered the floor.
In the gallery a further small tomb
or grotto was found. The tomb was
originally entered by three pits, which
we're afterward walled in below and
filled in above. Among the objects
found were anatomical ashes and bone
fragments, lamp Of bronze or gold,
silver vases, a goblet of Obsidlan and
gold, two gold salvers, an alabaster
vase, bronze vase, and plaques of
ivory or luster ware.

IsinRIoss Production

Isinglass is the commercial name for
dried swimming bladders of several
varieties of fish. The amount Of gela-
tin in isingass is from SO to 90 per
cent and even more. 1t is prepared by
tearing the air bladder or sound from
the back of the fish, from which 1t has
been lOosened by striking several
blows with a wooden club, then wash
ing in cold water The black outer
skin is removed with a knife, again
washed and spread on board to dry
in the open air, with the white shiny
skin turned outward. To prevent
shriveling or shrinking, the bladders
must be fastened to q drying board.
The best quality of isinglass comes
from sounds that are dried in the sun
After drying, the sound is again
moistened with warm water and the
interior shiny skin is removed by ham,
mering or rubbing. Finally, 1t Is rolled
between two polished iron rollers.
