Record Size for EQa

The epiornis, an extinct reptile bird
of Madagascar, much like an ostrich
In size and structure, laid the largest
and strongest eggs known, measuring
IS inches by on inches. These dimen-
sions are twice those of an ostrich egg,
and an egg Of the epiornis would hold
the contents of six ostrich eggs. Ira
dition and the evidence of some bones
indicate that these birds were exter-
minated at an undetermined time
since human occupation of Madagas
car began.

I Synthetic Products

Synthesis means putting together,
and it is, therefore, the opposite Of
analysis, which means taking apart,
splitting up into It's constituent parts
In chemistry, synthesis is making
rapid strides, and substances are
made now synthetically to such an
extent as to do away with the neces-
sity In some cases of producing them
by natural means. The production of
indigo is a striking illustration of this
fact.

CHAPTER XIV

Mrs. Polly Johnston, returning from
an aimless walk about the piazza, was
teld by the elevator boy that he had
just been given message to the eff
feet that a gentleman was waiting for
her In the lounge.

king her nose little in front Of the
mirror to see If she needed powder.
The boy handed her slip of paper
on which was written, ITO see Mrs.
Johnston, with a message from Mr..
Rangeley."
"Take me up first" Polly instructed
the boy, "and have the gentleman told
] will be down in moment"
She went to her room, Strengthened
her hat, powdered her nose, tucked
q stray lock away under her hat, sur
veyed herself carefully in the mirror,
and sauntered back to ring for the
elevator again, wondering about the
message.
Claude had chosen a secluded and
recessed corner, from which he could
obtain an unobstructed view of those
who entered from the lobby into the
lounge. He wondered about Polly,
after all these years. What was her
mind toward Loren Rangeley? What
changes had time wrought? He had
only that momentary glimpse in the
Hillsborough inn to go by.
When he saw her he forgot every
thing else. Changes! To be sure she
had changed, as twenty years must
change every man or woman, but she
was Polly, and as he admitted to him.

FINLAYSON SCHOOL NOTES

There's a mystery in the Finlayson
high school. We can't guess why,
but the freshmen are looking pale and
tired, as if carrying great load on
their minds. They come in quietly,
and it's almost impossible to get them
to talk. Their eyes have a haunted
look as each freshman watches the
closest sophomore with deep interest
bordering on fear.
The whole freshman class has TAX

joy Of power over their lower class
men. They watch the freshmen with
eyes that speak of triumph. Juniors,
