MAKES GOOD ABROAD
.Potato Storage
• From one bag of potatoes planted
in the spring Norman Langdon, of
Blizzard Valley, Sudbury district,
harvested 72 bags and 00 pound.: of
potatoes, a record for that district.
Owing to the fact that a Nese
percentage of the potato crop in the
important growing Ar - s of Canada
is usually kept in storage. for :sev•rel
mouths, the amount of profit from
these potatoes depend- on the de-
gree of shrinkage which taken place
under such condition.. Experiments,
conducted by the Division of Botany
of the Dominion Department of Ar -
riculture, show that shringage in po-
tatoes, occurring while in storage,
can be greatly reduced, if correct
storage practices are adhered to
The following requirements are
essential for the beet storage of a
perishable crop like the potato. All
tubers placed in storage should be
mature, healthy, as free from moist-
ure on their surfaces, dirt, and me-
chanical injury as possible. Even the
storage of a small percentage of
diseased or field -frosted potatoes en-
dangers all of the healthy stock, re-
gardless of how well storage condi-
tions are maintained. It is practic-
ally impossible to keep large quan-
tities of potatoes in good condition
for prolonged periods unless the pro-
per type of storage house is used.
Pamphlet No. 10 published by the
Domin194 Department of Agric,llt-
iite fully explalhs tie requirements
for a proper type of storage house.
The time of storage may be divided
into the early, middle, and late nar-
iods. The early and late are the
most critical periods. The early
storage period usually includes the
first six weeks, during which time
the potato is active and gives off
large quantities of heat and moist-
ure. Successful storage during this
period consists in properly ventilat-
ing the building ir, order to carry
off the heat and moisture generated,
and in getting the stock into a dor-
mant state, Proper ventilation dur-
ing this period will also prevent the
developement of rots which nauaily
set in at this time it•trles the
middle storage period which in-
cludes, in general the winter months,
the potato is dormant runt requires
little attention, except taking pre-
cautions to prevent frostings. The
late storage period involves the pass-
ing of the tuhrrs from a resting
state into the action state of erowtlm.
In order to provent growth of
sprouting, the temperature must be
kept as low as possible without dan-
ger of freezing. A temperature: from
Jeanne Dusseau, Tronto girl, was
recalled fourteen times at her recital
on October 15 in Wigmore hall,
London, and critics were unanimous
in their praise of her work.

HUMAN SPINNING TOPS,
Dervish Whirling Vonslsts of Spin
Oleg hound bike a Top.,
The famous wltltlleg Dervishes of
Syrian Tripoli put en a wonderful ex-
hibition, writes one who was privi-
leged to witness them he sotto*.
"Whirliug consists of spinning retied
like a top, to the accompaniment of
.weird music.
"The whirling," says the write!',
"was at drat vttly slow but gradually
increased in speed, while the man's
arms seamed to unfold and stretch
out automatically, until the right was
borizontal from shoulder to elbow,
bent vertically upward at the elbow,
the hand bent backward, palm up-
ward; while the left .aim was stretolt
edout straight, palm downwards, As
the speed inereamel the shirt unfold-
ed, ballooning ;upward and outward
until it whirled in a great circle tee
ntietw.tist-high Mane, the baggy
white drawers, Ona after another,
the twelve men went through the rit-
ual. Even when they had attained
their full momentum the dancers did
not whirl at equal speeds; the rove-
lutions varied from 64 per minute to
about 30. The average was about 6'0
—almost one complete revolution per
seeund. The men's bodies were rigid;
they span for all the world like tops
that had 'gone to sleep." Their faces
were calm and expressionless. There
was no questioning the fact that for
the time, being they bad actually
passed into a trance ---into the state
of hal, as they call it. At the end of
11 minutes—it seemed like an age__
the Siena Zan arose stamped vigor-
ously uu the floor, evidently the sig-
nal to stop. But only two of the
dancers heard it, and he had to clap
his bands and stamp again loudly be-
fore all of th:e,a heeded him and be-
came stationary. The dancers 'did not
wobble as dizzy men would, but re-
mained motiveless as statues, their
heads bowed and their arms once
more crossed on their breasts."
Where Smokers are Banned.
Science and smoking often go to-
gether—but not always. One scient-
ist has recently revealed that tobacco
is fatal to certain kinds of research
work. For instance, scientists have
been trying to estimate the phos-
phates in sea -water, So delicate are
the tests that an investigator can esti-
mate down to one ten -thousandth of
it, milligram, but if a smoker entered
the laboratory while he was doing
this, the whole of the work might be
useless. Even though he wasn't smok-
ing if he had the tiniest speck of
tobacco ash on his coat, containing,
say, one per cent. of phosphate, that
would upset everything. Smoking 1e,
of course, banned where explosives
are made or kept; and it has also
been made illegal in certain large for-
est districts in America, because of
the risk of fire. This risk exists in
Britain also, and many destructive
heath fires have probably been start-
ed by smokers.
A Ration of Athletes.
Czecho-Slovakia has appropriately
become termed "A Nation of Ath-
letes." Every summer there is held
in Prague an athletic meet which is
known as the "Sokol," where 12,000
women and 15,000 men, delegates
from many athletic societies of the
nation, go through the gymnastics
like one vast machine, to music com-
posed for the occasion. This is one
of the greatest sport shows of the
world t0 -day.
The "Sokol" has been an annual
event In Bohemia for more than half
a century. As a national institution It
grew out of the spirit of independence
amens; Bohemians, who suffered long
from the oppression of Austrian
Hapsburg rulers, Universal athletics
kept alive the Czech's desire for na-
tionality, and trained their bodies to
fight for freedom when the time
should be ripe. That time arrived
during the great war,
Norwegians to Protect Whales.
The Storting has passed a law pro-
hibiting the capture of any female
whale which is followed by its cub,
or of any cub which follows Its
mother.
The law applies to baleen whales.
The Government proprsal states that
Norway is more interested than any
other country in preserving whales.
The, law provides that Norwegian
companies wishing to carry on what -
hag must report to the Government
department concerned; that it is pro-
hibited to retch the Atlantic right
whale, and that the Government is
authorized to give directione regard-
ing the catching and control of
whales., includiug the payment of a
royalty to be used partly for research

PRE VAILING SUPERSTITION.
Bailors and Irishmen are Unanimous-
ly Awarded Pride of Place.
A woman recently died because her
superstition would not allow her to
call in a doctor on Friday, Saturday
was too late.
That superstition is still rife, is to
some extent proven by the fact that
hundreds of tbousands of people still
consider that it is unlucky to walk
spill salt. That three cantles on a
table bring bad luck. Met crossed
knives spell unhappiness. That to cut
one's nails on a Friday is to court
disaster. That the new moon seen
through glass is an evil portent. That
to open an umbrella in the house
means misfortune. Similarly, how
many Londoners do not believe that
it ie lucky for a black cat to cross
one's path, or that to fall upstairs
spells a wedding?
The war -time superstition of three
lights from a match is still believed;
there are probably several million
people in England to -day who ex-
claim "Touch wood" on the slightest
provocation. In the country villages
of England the inhabitants firmly be-
lieve that to sea a white horse means
the presence 11 the vicinity of a red-
haired girl, while a cross-eyed villag-
er Is still an object of suspicion to be
combated by crossed fingers and a
whispered incantation. Sailors and
Irishmen are unanimously awarded
pride of place among believers in the
superstitious, nevertheless the Lon-
doner is hard to beat.
Futuro of Antwerp.
Will Antwerp be a village and mar-
ket place for dairy farmers some day,
instead of Europe's busiest contin-
ental harbor? Experts who have stu-
died the question in recent days fear
that Antwerp may have the same
fate as quaint old Bruges, which was
a flourishing seaport in the Middle
,4ges but to -day is a dead inland
town. Because tine Scheldt river, Ant-
werp's highroad to the sea, becomes
sandier and muddier every day, there
is some probability that in the distant
future cows wlll graze on rich mea-
dows where to -day seagoing vessels
travel. Even modern technical devices
may prove insufficient to stop the sea
from depositing fertile mud along
the river banks twice a day, as the
high tide of the North Sea rushes up
into the month of the Scheldt. -
