Geogropher Gaze Name
to All Modern Maps

Modern mapmakers regard the maps
made a few hundred years ago az
great curiosities-and so they are, yer
every atlas published in the Twentieth
century borrows an idea from the Fif-
teenth century. 1t is known as Mer-
GATORS projection.
AS a rule. the map of the world Is
represented in our aliases in two
f'orms-first the two hemispheres side
by side, with America and the Pacific
occupying almost the whole of one,
and the rest of the continents and
oceans nearly the whole of the other.
But the two circles are difficult of
mental adjustment. as they require to
be placed back to back to represent
the actual geography of the globe
This difficulty was recognized by a
famous geographer named Gerardus
Mercator. He originated the system,
still followed, of drawing the map Of
the world as though the globe were
fiat, having all the meridians of longi-
tude parallel and at right angles to
the parallels of latitude.
Thus one gets birds eye view Of
the world, as it we're, but only the
parts of the map adjacent to the equa-
tor are correct to scale. AS the map
proceeds north and south toward the
poles, oceans and continents expand
more and more. and are thus out of
proportion. Nevertheless, the advan-
tages of this projection, named after
Mercator are obvious.

CAN RASPBERRgES
FOR WINTER USE
Water-Bath Method May Be
Used for All Berries,

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture1
The water-bath method of canning
may be used for all berries, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The general method is the same
for ALL so that as the season pro-
crosses, one can apply 1t equally we'll
to raspberries, currants, blackberries,
blueberries, dewberries huckleberries,
logan backberries, and gooseberries.
Only fresh, clean, sound fruits
should be used. Can them as soon as
possible after picking within two
hours is desirable Wash the berries
thoroughly, drain them and pack them
closely in clean jars or cans Fill the
containers up with boiling hot strip,
made by bringing to the boiling point
l part of sugar and parts of water
or fruit juice. For gooseberries, equal
parts of sugar and water or fruit Juice
are generally used
Put the rubbers and tops on glass
jars and adjust the springs halfway,
or place screw tops on loosely. If tin
cans are used, seal them completely.
Set the Jars or cans on rack or false
bottom in the Gamer. They should be
entirely immersed in the water and
the Gamer should have a cover that
fits well. A wash boiler or any COW
cred vessel of sufficient depth may be
used, if equipped with a rack that
permits the water to circulate under
the Jars. The pressure Gamer at 212
degrees F. may also be used for
berries.
Process quart Jars of berries for 20
minutes, pint Jars for Is minutes, and
No. 2 and No. 3 tin cans for 10 min
utes, counting the time as soon as the
water surrounding the Jars begins to
boil actively. Then remove the Jars
from the Gamer, seal air-tight at once,
invert, and place out of drafts.
All jars and cans should be 30
marked that each lot can be identified.
Keep them at room temperature for
at least week. Discard any showing
signs of spoilage and watch others of
the same lot until 1t Is certain that
they are keeping.

through with it-kill him and carry
him out by night. But Cotton lost all
his nerve. He's protected gambling
and robbery--and, yes, murder before
this. But he's never had killing in
his house. He got nearly crazy with
that boy dying in the house. He sent
for one of their regular doctors; and
he said the boy would live while
and then go. Then they cooked up
the idea to send for you; you'd the

outside who couldn't be handled would
ever have to see the boy; they'd have
a perfectly safe and proper service
for Billy Severson, with the coffin
closed, and get him safe below ground
