They had got six 'fish all told; that is to say, Mr. Hodson'. !boat 'had got one more in the afternoon, while .Miss Carry had managed to pick .up a small thing of eight pounds or so just as they were leaving off, The fiaot was, they did not care to prosecute the ,fishing till the last moment, ,for there was to be alit- tle kind of dinner celebration that ev- ening, and no doubt some of them wanted to make themselves as .smart as !possible—though ,the possibilities as a rule don't go very far in the case of a'fis'hing-;party in a Highland inn— all to pay due h.anor to the 'beide. And surely if ever !Meenie could lay 'claim to 'the title of ,Rose Meenie it was oh this evening .when she came among these stranger folk—who were aware of 'her story, if not a word was said or hinted of it—and found all the women Ibe petting her, And ,Mrs. Douglas was there, radiant in silk and ribbons, if somewhat austere in man- ,ner; and the big, good-natured doc- tor was there full 'to''ovedRowinig ,with jest and 'quips and aoctiit Scotch 'stor- ies; and Mr. and Mrs, Murray had done their best for the 'decoration of the ,dining-room—though tSuthesl'and- shire in April is tar from 'being Flor- ida. And perhaps, too, Miss Carry was a little paid ou't when she saw the per- fectly servile adulation • which Mr. r. C. Huysen [(who •had a sensitive heart, according to the young men of the 'iNew Yo11k Sun") laid at the feet of the pretty young bride; though Me. Hodson rather interfered with that, clanging .Mrs, 'Strang as his own. Of coarse ,Miss 'Kerfoot was rather down- hearted, 'because of the absence of her Toto and .his 'banjo; but •'Ronald had promised 'her she ,should kill a salmon on the morrow, .and that ,comforted her a little. Mrs. L•alor had recovered, and was .chiefly an amused spectator; there was a good deal of human nat- ure :'bout, and she had eyes. ,Altogether' it was a pleasant enough evening; for although the Americans and the Scotch are the two nations out of all the world that are the most madly given to after-dinner speech making nothing of the kind was at- tempted. Mr. Hodson rmerely raised his 'glass and gave "The 'Bride!" and Ronald said a few manly and sensible words in reply. ,Even Mrs. Douglas so far forgot the, majesty ,of IGleengask and 'Orosay as to !become quite com- placent; !perhaps she reflected that it was, .after all, ,chiefly through the kindness of these people that her daughter and her 'daughter's .husband had 'been placed in a comfortable and assured position. !Ronald and Meenie had scarcely had time as yet to cease from ibeing lovers, and so it was that on this same night he presented her with two or three more of those rhymes that sometimes he still wrote about her when the fancy seized him. In fact, he had written these verses as he sat on the deck of the big screw steamer, when she was ,slowly steaming up the R•aasay Sound: '10 what's the sweetest thlfig there is In all the wide, wide world?

This one 'usually mums to a palters A Siberian trapper has lost all of his food to wolves, After he has stumbled along for days, on the ,verge of starvation, he 'spies a cltanap sof fur sticking out of the ice. He chops the ice away and Ifin.ds that the ftir 'belongs to a mammoth—one of the hairy elephants that 'became ex- ,bi'not some 20,1000 years ago. So perfectly has the 'beast been pre- served by the 'cold that the trapper cuts Himself off a steak, eats it and I plows happily back to 'civilization. ,Preposterous though it sounds, the mstmmoth story just 'happens to 'be true. Pictures are available of a mam- moth exhumed in a nearly perfect state of preservation as recently as 1005. So far as scientists know, nie'at, 'frozen ,properly, .can easily survive for twenty milleniums. iFu'rthermore, there is evidence that more plebeian things !than mammoth steaks—straw- berries, lobsters and asparegtrs, for example—become practically .immor- tal if chilled properly and kept at a sufficiently low temperature. This new knowledge hasn't been used merely to amuse a group of fac't- seeking research men. On it rests a brand-new industry: the quick-frozen foods industry. To 'prevent confusion cast 'lfrozen" foods out of your mind. The new industry has nothing to .do with frozen fish and chickens :that most housewives complain so bitterly about. The new industry was born during the depression and today is in about the saute :position that the canning, in- dustry was in fifty years ago. !Each year since its inception 11 has grown at least •fifty ,per cent over the previ- ous year. I'1 it .continues to grown— there is every indication that it will-- count will—count on it for n' heavy proportion of the victuals you will eat in your old age. It is making all manner of goofy things possible: oyster stew .in Aug - est, and corn on the cob for Christ- mas dinner; asparagus in October and saran berry shortcake for Thanksgiv- ing. The industry's ability to laugh at the calendar rests on the 'fact that its foods may 'be months old But its oy- sters taste just as fresh as of they had just been scooped out of Chesapeake Bay, and its corn just as tender and sugary as ears pulled a few hours be- fore. Against nature, you night thielk. And you certainty cite illustrious ex- amples to establish your point. Freez- ing.,you may properly contend, turns potatoes bl'ac'k and peas !brown. lit makes them 'leathery and inedible. But "quick" freezing doesn't. There is a world of difference be- tween the two methods. You can get a graphic picture of it by looking in- side a bean, Well take' a sliver and place it under• a microd'bo'pe. The cel- lular structure looks like a 'honey- conrb, each cell being filled with vis- cous liquid. 'If we put our'microsco'pe and our bean •sliver in a .cold atmos- •phere—say O5' degrees 'F.—you can see what 'happens ,When freezing is Blow. Long, jagged, irregular ice crystals start forming within the cell. They grow and 'finally form a solirl conglo- merate with 'needles shooting gaff dike the tqullls on a 'porcupine. 'Finally the mass 'becomes so large that it .punc- tures cell •wal'is. This is all very well, so Tong 05 the 'sliver of bean remains frozen. But, once thawed. extensive chenge takes, place. The liquid in the cells— mineral salts and other products that give the bean its taste—lea'k away. There's nothing left but a (flabby, un- attractive mass of vegetable matter. llt is tasteless, worthless. - Thirty years ago a scientist, named Planck observed this happening and wondered if there weren't some way of preventing it. He wasn't so couch interested in preserving vegetables as he was in finding new I'atvs of crystal formation, Planck was to pure scien- tist bent on discovering basic new principles. 'lie (found that in :freezing any 'fluid there we, a zone of naaxi- itmm crystallization. Simplified, this simply means that in a certain tem- perature zone the !biggest crystals are former!. He found this zone to lie be- tween 215 and i3l degrees F. It occurred to other investigators that if you could -whip vegetables through this one rapidly enough you would get a different set of crystals within the cells. They tried all 'sorts of methods. They immersed vegeta- bles in liquid air. sprayed them with brines at 50 degrees :below zero. and froze them 'between plates packed in dry ice.

This time, instead olf the large porcu- pine mass, billions of tiny, needielike crystals form. They are usually about a hundredth the size of the slow -froz- en 'crystals. -But the important point is this; -they pack themselves tightly together like toothpicks and do not break the cell walls. On this phenom- enon is 'built the new industry 'that each year increases Its sales over the year 'before by several millions of -dollars. You'll find these foods in the retail markets of a relatively small section of the country. !However, they reach institutional otttlets in ,forty -!five states. You've certainly eaten ,the quickafrozen peas on railroad .diners and the flounder 'fillets in 'hotels, The retail outlets have lagged behind for the 'quite simple reason 'that paokers, in their wildest flights of fancy, have been unable to foresee with what en- thusiasm the public would . receive their products, • So each year markets have 'consum- ed the 1510 per cent increase iri produc- tion and pa'c'kers 'haven't had the , chance to extend retail outlets as they hoped to. 'Fluethermore, 'toward the end of th•e 'quickefrozen season—they are generally calculated to compete with out -'oaf -season vegetables—sales ressure has .been i p stooped. Otherwise supplies wouldn't last. The means by which' these things reach the market is a 'fascinating tale of ,organization that would make the owner of a highly mechanized circus feel dike a hopeless (blunderer. Here again the story starts in the labora- tory. Let's take a look at the largest packer in the ,field. 'Before he starts freezing any foods lie first decides 'what varieties 'best lend themselves to the process. 'When the company started on peas, for ex- ample, it found the high -starch peas which made admirable canning varie- ties didn't work ou't well in the freez- ing •process. The high -sugar garden varieties did. This, however, •was dis- covered only after 1115 varieties had Ii eengiven themost exhaustive ve tev s .

Empire Exhibition to Make 1938 Scotland's Year '':4'`".47 :- 'As i a ,r..., .eser,; 3. As last year was England's, with Coronation, and Fran- ce's, with the Paris Exposition, so 1938 will be all Scotland's and mostly Criasgow's, with the great Empire Exhibition which King George will open in the Scottish metropolis on May 5. Weekly throughout the summer Canadian Pacific liners will laud visitors by the hundred at the famed Tail of the Bank, almost 'within sight of the exhibition grounds in Bellahouston Park. Not: only will they see the exhibi- tion, but in the majority of cases these visitors attracted to Scot- land by, the big show will go on from there to see much of the gest of Scotland. Appropriately enough this year has beenchosen by the Canadian Scot's Re -Union for oau u_ ours to the homeland. They will sail lu a large tarty in the Duchess of Richmond from Montreal . on Illy S. In the natural beauty of Bella- houston Park, visitors will find the greatest rhnw o` Emmis en- gineering, and industry ever gath- ered into one place. Modernistic pavilions will house the .exhibits of every Dominion and there will be palaces of engineering., the arts, inuustr;t. to mention but a few. Tree -top restacraurs, built on stilts, a 300 foot observation tower atop the central hill, spaci- ous walks and gardens and amu- sements galore will provide re- laxation for the visitors. Color will be a striking feature, nevi - lions willbe•eolored, there will be green ones, blues, reds and yel- lows. The open-air restaurants and avenues will be gay with bril- liantly colored sunshades and awnings and at night the whole scene will be :flood-lit—a fairy-like scene on the banks of the Clyde. The handsome pavilion 'seen in an artist's drawing at the top left is the Canadian Pavillon at, the Empire Exhibition as it will ap- pear when completed. Lower r_,ht is a view of Loch Lomond, one if the scenic beauty spots that otos,: visitors to Scotland make a paint of seeing during their visit. At the left is a view of some of the cottages of the Highland clachan at the Exhibition and at the top are artists' conceptions of two pavilions, the West African; Colonies at the left and the Palade of Engineering at the right.
