The Mutiny ofshe Albatross

Abduction and kidna ping for ransom
seizure and footing, crimes once COM
m"n TO the high seas, are now prac-
ticaiiy confined to the land Why

Tor successful pursuit would seem TO
be less on the ocean than on the land.
occurrences of modern piracy are rare,
but II is not Illogical to expect them
now and then.
In this tale OF deviltry at sea, the
author has pictured series of adven-
cures that are well within the realm
OF probability and are about as pulse
SURFING as any of those glamorous ep-
isodes celebrated In buccaneering lore.
There is high romance too. not any the
less pleasing because il is placed In
the twentieth century and not In
distant past
JUST picture a millionaire aboard his
staunch and luxuriously appointed
ocean yacht, awakening to the realiza-
ton that, by a skilfuIly engineered
plot, most of his honest crew have
been replaced by a selected band of
escaped convicts-all killers-men who
nave followed the sea and are desper-
ate to take any chance. Picture these
outlaws, iniamed by money lust and
under the diabolic guidance of mas
ter mind. Imagine the things that
may happen and the rare sort of pirate
story that VIII evolve.

Testing Seed Is
Important Task
Ordinary Unglazed News
paper Cut Into Strips Is
Found Useful.

Recent experiments at University
farm with newspaper testers have de
veloped speedy and cheap methods of
testing seed. particularly seed corn.
Use Wet / iper.
"Ordinary unglazed newspaper may
be torn or cut into strips about &
inches wide and ~ TO IA inches long"
says III. X. Wilson, assistant agron-
omist of the Minnesota experiment
station. "About six sheets of paper
should be thoroughly soaked in water
by kneadng ii into ret roll. Ii Is
Important that all sheets be wet. The
strip of soaked paper is spread on d
fiat surface and kernels of corn 10 be
tested distributed in the same manner
employed in making rag doll. About
30 kernels can be placed in each doll.
Next, another strip of several thick
nesses of soaked newspaper is placed
on top of the corn, the edges of the
paper are crimped together and then
rolled into a compact doll. The ends
should be tied loosely and the roll
placed In twO-qGart fruit jar.
This jar does not require lid
but should be turned upside down
and set in warm place. A small
nail placed under one edge will per-
NIT air circulation. Ii is unnecessary
to give any further attention TO the
test until The results are taken one
week later.
Carefully Tested Plan.
"This plan was carefully compared
with the plan of placing lid on the
Jar and punching hole in ii for air,
which has been recommended in some
quarters, and gave per cent higher
termination and much more vigorous
seedlings"

Some things people do to help the
bowels whenever any bad breath,
feverishness, biliousness, or a
lack of appetite warn of constipa-

Only a doctor knows what will
cleanse the system without harm.
That is why the laxative in your
home should have the approval Of
a family doctor.
The wonderful product, known to
millions as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is a family doctors pre-

thousands of times in many years
