Notes of Science
IIen's eggs weighing four ounces are
reported from Manchuria, and experi-
ments are. now being made to'produce
even larger ones by the Agricultural
Experiment •Station of the South Man-
churian Railway,
It is )tnown that the domestic fowl
existed in China at least,4,000 years
ago, and that such breeds as Cochin,
Brahma and Langshae originated in
the southern part, The common Man-
churian breed is not especially large
and its eggs weigh about two ounces.
Some time ago, however, there were
1'mnoi's in- Manchuria of another type
of hen which has a very large body
find lays extremely large eggs. It was
said that the hen }neighed about nine
pounds and their eggs to weigh fully
three and one -halt ounces. To locate_
this breed, and to improve its quality
the station began work in 1986.
The native locality of this hen is
very restricted, being the northern
part of the territory of kIlahiliwa (Pit-
suwo) in Kwanto Province (Japaneee-
leased region), the eastern part of Fu -
beim] and `the western part of Chuan-
iaou-hsien, both Chinese districts. The
type had not been popular because the
Chinese sell eggs by number and not
by weight, and as the !rens were not
good layers, the breed fled nearly be-
come extinct. Bat the experimenters
managed to collect thirteen cocks and
thirty-two hens in two years from
these regions.
At first the eggs produced were not
remarkable, only three being as large
as three ounces. But in 1028 one pul-
let laid eggs having an average Weight
of about tour ounces, and este lain ono
double -yolk egg• weighing five ounces.
In 1930 there were four pullets that
Tail eggs averaging about three and a
half ounces.
It is said among Chinese farmers
that the ]rens that lay large eggs are
not good layers, and this seems to be
the case, In the station's flock the
number of eggs produced hy the pul-
lets that laid eggs about three ounces
in weight was less tban eighty a year,
One pullet, however, laid 136 eggs
averaging nearly three ounces,
"Fire -Resistant" Wood
Recently there has been a revival in
research aiming to make wood more
"fire resistant" Lumber industries
are coneerned'because of the trend in
the'abutlding industry toward cement
and steel, the so•oalled "fireproof" con-
struction; architects, contractors., and
builders are seeking cheaper and more
adaptable fireproof building material,
The public in general is interested In
the reduction of lire losses, while
wood -preserving and chemical indus-
tries see in fireproofing a field of en-
larged activities,
No treatment of wood, so far as la
known, protects wood from destruc-
tion, under Tright temperatures, so the
term "fireproof wood" is not ati'ictly
accurate, The words "fire retardant"
or 'Vire resistant" express better the
properties of wood treated with fire-
proofing chemicals,
Statistics show that from about one-
third to one-half of the antteal fire loss,
to property in this country occurs in
frame buildings and their contents.
Undoubtedly the use of more fire-re-
sistant materials would reduce these
losses to some patent,
There are two general methods of
increasing the resistance of wood to
fire; tine use of surface coatings and
treatments and impregnation process-
es.
Most coatings do not increase the
flr'e resistance materially, and their
effectiveness has generally failed. to
impress engineers, But they are cheap
and are easily applied. •
Impregnation methods are of fairly
recent origin, although the commercial
treatment of wood with fire retard
ants by pressure methods teas under-
taken in this country abort thirty -Ave
years ago.
Fireproofing sternal Were under-
taken at the Forest Products Labora-
tory of the Department of Agriculture
about 1013. •

he Barbara 'stood slim and straight in
r (the doorway. Flex clothes,: Peter not -
re ed were slim and straight, like her-
self. • So were the clothes of every
other girl on the street, but the fact
had escaped Peter's dbservation. She
t was a girl who never bothered with
ver being surprised. The cascade of coins
on the hall floor passed without im-
mediate comment,
r "Nellie needn't have put you in the
Coventry like this—out in the hall,"
she said. "Come in. won't you?"
d She held, aside a curtain and they
were in a small rather jolly little
room which seemed to be full of a
d fireplace and orange marigolds. Peter
followed the casual wave of her hand
towards an arm chair.
He was already in it before he no -
aticed that Barbara remained stand-
ing, her "elbow crooked across the core1
t ner of the fireplace. Another of tl.e
tribal customs! • He ouglit to, have
:c waited till she sat down. But it was
too late now to junta up,
"Well," said Barbara, gazing down
- into the lire and addressing the glow-
ing heap of coal. "I don't suppose
, you came on purpose to play with the
card tray, Don't tell me you're af','er
another story!"
Peter rose in his chair with de-,
t liberation. He was more angry than 1
he hal ever been in his life before,'
Anger btoke over him, wave upon
wave, and left him trembling.
Flo forgot that he had ever in his

of it, Be stood -aver her, tall and

"Yes, sir?"
Peter jumped. The door stood ope
framing a maid done in India pit
and Chinese white, The tone.of h
voice indicated" that the door had' bee
open and the maid standing•thore fo
an interval long enough to requi
patience.
"lel like to speak to Miss Cavan
augh," Peter spoke with his best .Her
-
aid dignity to cover that abpurd star
"Yes, sir. What name shall I.gi
sir?"
A small shining tray was whrppe
into play before him, Peter had neve
possessed a calling card in his life
The only cards he owned were prints
with "Evening Herald" in large 01
English letters in the iddle, and "J
A, Piper" in small blots letters in th
lower left hand cornet, He Tooke
haughtily past the small shining tray
damning it into invisibility.
"Tell her it's Peter Piper of Th
Herald" His tone challenged th
India -ink -and -Chinese -white outoma
ton tcr'make the most of it, The til
of his long chin ev_a indicated the
for two cents he'd knock her bloc
off. The automaton stood her ground
undeterred by this display Of aro,
gance.
"I lon't think—" she began.
"Weil, you needn't, need you?'
There was something sudden and dis
arming in Peter's wide smile, "Sup
pose you put it up to her? I'll be
you two bits she sees me, Are yot
on?"
The faintest flicker of responsive
friendliness rippled aoross the auto-
maton's face.,
"Wil, you come in and wait, sir?"
Peter dropped into the nearest
chair in the hall, and lapsed into un-
plumbed depths of cliseomfurt, It avis
like sliding down an inclined 'plane.
"Peter Piper of The Herald" had slid
from his Nps by habit. What did he
want to say that for? It sounded un.
believably silly—like "Lod Raven of
Ravenswood."
What had he comp, for, anyway?
He and this girl had absolutely no-
thing in common. Curiosity—that
was it! Curiosity was said to be,fatal
to east. "Cats—bats—bats—cats."
Alio in Wonderland. The immortal
wonder -child of Lewis Carroll's itn-
agination. Was she really like that --
Alice in Wonderland grown up? Or
was he betrayed by tint trick of
drawing her fair 'lair straight back
from her round foreiead? The real
Alice probably grew up quite differ-
ently. She wasn't mixed up in a mur-
der, anyway! Lewis Carroll made
foie of us all—he made you love his
Alice so.
Peter Piper brought himself up
with a start. That; word was danger-
ous`•. He was walking straight into
danger—a danger that befogged your
clearness of vision in a mist of senti-
mentality. Peter had a deep distrust
of sentimentality., It was all' right to
be sentimental over "Alice"; yoti
couldn't very wellhelp it, and "Alice"
was safely out of harms' way, in fic-
tion. But this was reality, the twen-
tieth
wen
tieth century, and Sheila O'Shay was
dead and Barbara ,Cavanaugh had
fainted at the news of the discovery.,.
There were too many Barbaras-
the "Alice" Barbara and the orphan-
age Barbara• and the young lady Bar-
bara with 'MT those strange tribal cus-
toms he knew nothing about. And
was there another Barbara—a deep,
clover, wits -about -hg_ Ba?bar'a whom
lkg didn't Itnpw at all,',:. Well, he had
wits of Ile own if it came to that,
Curiosity. Let it rest there. If
curiosity made •a fool of him, he
wouldn't be the first cat to succumb,
It'brought him up 'e his downward
jtjg towards despondency to. insist
i n the singleness dff his motive. Curi-
osity. He turned his back resolutely
on that other, more dangerous word.
And -she couldn't do more -than turn
him out -4n which case he'd remember
to slip the black- and-wite automaton
her two bits, He needn't mind—he'd
Veen tr.rned out of'plenty of houses
before,
But he would mind—he would mina
quite sickeningly. The other times it
was The Herald that was turned out
—just Peter Piper of The Herald.
But this time it would be Peter Piper
himself. Aghast at his own egotism,
dawned -with curses—on Peter
at there wasn't a chance in the
old that Barbara had been coneam-
with any curiosity about IIIM i
He wiped his hands on his handker
hipf-they warlo cold and damp with
orspiration-and bunched the,iland-
kerchief into his already sagging coat
pocket. >He snatehed his hat from the
bench beside him, She'd know what a
fool he'd been -it was too late to help
that now --but he'd salvage the reiil-
nants of hie folly, _ He'd get out be-
fore she 'turned him out.
He had already taken ;a step' to-
wards the' door when he :remembered
the automaton and hastily clawed two
dimes and a nickel from the chewing
gum, rubber bands' and paper clips
it this trouser's pocket. The little
shining tray winked up at him from a
small table. He laid the three coins'
in a row on its gleaming surface, the
nickel, being the largest, in the,mld-
Ten he glared at it balefully,
'Damn!" he said softly, addressing
the troy, "Damn! Damn! Damn!"
"Well, if it" isn't Peter Piper
swearing 'at the worldf" Laughter
rippled through the voice, through and
under and around, like broken lights
playing across water.
For the second time that day, Pete
jumped at: the sound of a voice,
Then he jerked the little tray a foot
into the air,. tossing the coins.\high
pcattering them to the corners of -the
ZOOM. t
"She's lost her bet! Bless Pat, the
