England's Virgin Queen
as Frenchman Saw Her

In November, 1897, an ambassador
extraordinary from Henry " Of
France to Elizabeth of England was
put ashore at Dover. OF his inter
views with the queen, her appear
ance, her clothes, her demeanor,
what she said, he gave the fullest
account. This is his pen portrait:
"She was strangely attired in a
dress of silver cloth, white and
crimson, or silver gauze as they call
it. This dress had slashed sleeves
lined with red taffeta, and was grit
about with other little sleeves that
hung down to the ground, which she
was forever twisting and untwist-
ing. She kept the front of her dress
open, so that one could see the
whole of her bosom. AS for
her face, it is and appears to be
very aged. 1t is long and thin, and
her teeth are very yellow and IN
equal, compared to what they were
formerly, so they say, and on the
left side less than on the right.
Many of them are missing, so that
one cannot understand her easily
when she speaks quickly. Her figure
is fair and tall and graceful in
whatever she does; so far as may
be she keeps her dignity, yet humbly
and graciOuSly withal."

Many Gave Thought to
Making Artificial Ice

There is much uncertainty as to
who first made ice by artificial
means. Experiments for making
artificial ice were started by the
Italians in the Sixteenth century.
The first machine used was invent
ed by DR.. William Cullen (1710-
1900. Scotch physicist and physi-
clan, whose machine was based on
the vacuum principle, the at
mospheric pressure being reduced
by means of an air pump. In 1884
Jacob Perkins, an American en-
gineer living in London, obtained a
patent for a machine generally cred
tied with being the fOrerunner of
the modern compressor machine.
Many experiments were later made
by French and German inventors.
Prof. A. G. Twining of New Haven,
Conn, made many Improvements Oh
ice-making apparatus in 1850, 1858
and 1855. In 1857 DR.. John Cor
rie of Apalachicola. Fla, patented
an ice-making machine and as a
tribute to his inventive genius the
state selected him as one of her two
distinguished sons to represent
her in the Capitol at Washington.
The modern ammonia absorption
process of making ice was discov-
cred in 1S5S-Pathfinder Magazine.

Banana as a Food

The banana is known to be an al
kali-producing food. 1t is 8 food
which has been found to be efficient
in reducing the acidity of the body.
The banana when fully ripe is a
most valuable addition to the diet
of young children, particularly those
for whom a gain in weight is de-
sirable. 1t can also be given to in
fants. This fruit when unripe con-
sists largely of starch and Is, there
fore, difficult of digestion. AS the
ripening process goes on a large
part of the starch is converted into
sugar.

Construction, Boon for JobIess

Expenditures amounting to S.
680,310 are expected to be made in
the State of Delaware this year on
public construction work by the

ernments. This announcement,
which is made in a letter to Gov
ernor c. Douglass Buck from Sam
uel w. Freedman, who has just
completed a survey on estimated
budgets to be spent in Delaware
during the year, is of much inter
est at this time. Such an extern
sive building program will give
employment to many workers and
aid in relief of the economic de-
preston, it was pointed out. In
his letter to the Governor, Mr..
Freedman expresses appreciation
for the cooperation which he has
received in making the survey.
The survey was made for the Nc
Grawk-Hill Publishing Company,
publishers of Engineering News
Record. Cooperating with Mr..
Freedman in making the survey
were w. w. Mack, superintendent
of the State Highway Department,

Christian Science Churches

Spirit" was the subject of the
Lesson-Sermon on Sunday, Febru-
airy 18th, in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist. Golden Text: We have
received, not the spirit of the
world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know the
things that are freely given to US
of God. Ct Corinthians 2:12)
Among the citations which COM
prised the Lessons Sermon was the
following from the Bible: God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in
truth. John 4:24.) The Lesson
Sermon also included the following
passages from the Christian Sci
ence textbook, Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy: We worship
spiritually, only as we cease to
worship materially. Spiritual de-
voutness is the soul of Christian
ity. Worshipping through the med
ium of matter is paganism. Ju-
daic and other rituals are but
types and shadows of true wor-
ship. THE true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in
truth" Up. 40: 1922.

Safety Glass Discovery

The year 1881 is virtually the
twenty-first birthday of safety glass,
for it was in 1910 that the patent
now most generally used was filed.
The inventor was Edouard Benedic-
tus, a French chemist of Dutch
origin, who had an experimental
laboratory in Paris. One day he
dropped a bottle to the stone floor,
and although it was starred inside
like a crystal it did not break. He
remembered that it had contained a
mixture of various chemicals which
had evaporated and coated the in
terror with a transparent enamel.
Benedictus noted the formula, and
realized that on his shelf lay the
secret of unsplintered glass. The
patent was filed in 1910, but it was
not till Reginald Delpech. the Eng
lish pioneer motorist, took up the
idea that safety glass was manu-
featured.

Genius Died in Poverty

Friedrich Wilhelm Goebel, recog-
nized in Germany as the inventor Of
the military tank, died without col
lecting the 100000 marks he de
manded as compensation from the
ministry of defense for his inven-
ton. His widow was left penni-
less. Goebel, old and poor at his
death, first exhibited his tank in
1913, when it climbed so per cent
grade amid the applause of high I'M
perial officers. He maintained to
the last that failure of the kaiser's
officers to recognize the Importance
of the tank caused Germany's de-
feat in the war. The tank was one
of a long list of Goebers inven-
tions, ranging over the fields of
aviation, shipping, electricity and
warfare.

Friday the Thirteenth
Still Considered "Jinx"

With all the wealth of fact and
philosophy at his command man
continues to be a victim of super
Stition, forcing himself TO accept in
cOnveniences and endure suffering
because of fear complex. The old
superstitiOus fear that Friday is an
unlucky day, and if Friday falls on
the thirteenth day of the month, it
is jinx filed with danger and prob
able disaster to mankind, comes
into evidence continually in the mod
ern times.
The baseless fear of Friday prob
ably was born of witchery and ig-
norance, but the fear Of the thir-
teenth day of the month may have
had its origin in more modern times.
The spread of human intelligence
should have eliminated both fears
from the minds of man, but it has
not.
Recently a great ocean liner was
delayed for hours in leaving New
York so that the trip might be start
ed on the fourteenth day of the
month, and not on Friday, the thir-
teenth. officials scoffed at the SUI
perstition, but admitted that there
had been a clamor from passengers
to accept the delay and escape the
supposed jinx. There is room for
more public education so long as
people display this fear complex

we really have no use for an ele-
