FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES—No,• 8
The Consuipption of Tea
Tea as a beverage is used in nearly every
country in the world. It is estimated over
200 .billion cups are consumed annually.:
Australia leads h tea drinking with an
annual per capita. consumption of about
nine pounds, which means that every Aus-
tralian consumes frons six to eight cups of
tea every day. The consumption per capita
in England is 8f lbs., and in Canada nearly
5 lbs. In the United States,.' it is less than
11b,, butthis is largely because Americans
have not been able to get fine teas until
comparatively recently. "SALADA" is con-
sidered one of the choicest blends on the
market, and is the largest selling tea in
either United States or Canada,

piness of any''carnping trip,' Heise a!"tl
solus hilt1s lot' the uninitiated cafnpel";
In the fin'st place, the site for your.
camp ie important. Much needless
aY'o1'lt a1141 trouble canbe eliminated if
you go about this matter in the right
way. The ground 00 which 'yeti pre•
Pose to locate .bops camp Shahid be

water and a good spring. The cold,
sparkling water of a unountatn creek
makes the most exhilarating morning
wash possible. But be careful. 0 re-
inennber one of the first years that I
went. camping we pitched our tenite
right on the edge of the creek. and one
night about'. a.m. ;.here came a terri-
fic downpour of rain. The creek start-
ed to ripe steadily and soon some of
our provisions were floating away,
When we leek account of speck the
next day we found. we had last two
cots, ane small tent, several pieces. of
clothing and nearly all our food.
Good drinking water is an important
asset of a good camp site. The health
of any camp depends largely on Uhe
pua'ity of its drinking water.
Tents and Shelters.
Wherever possible, I would advise
the beginner to take a tent Per sleeping
quarters daring his first camping trip.
In the mountains the nights are very
damp, and to any boy ituaccustonred
to such exposure it i$ a dangerous
thing. After once having become ac-
customed to Life in the open, there are
various kinds of shelters you eau snake
for aleaping purposes.
Ohne of the most serviceable shelters
(easy to melte, Loo) is the common.
I "lean-to,". Cuttltvo poles aboiltsix feet
long -that are forked at the top. Put
these in the ground about seven feet
apart, and enve'tlre top of the poles
I at least five feet from the ground. Now
cut another pole about eight feet long
and rest it in the forks of the two up-
right poles. Be sure that this frame
stands securely. Now cut poles aver-
aging ten feet in length, rest one end
of each on the horizontal bar, and the
other end on the ground. When you
have placed enough poles in this posi-
tion to make a formidable -looking
skeleton for your shelter, cover thie
sloping roof with hemlock'Eoughs.
Weave the branches in and out be-
tween the sloping poles andsoon you
will have a abetter„ . that is almost
water -proof.:- The., open side of the
"lean-to" should face the seutliwest.
As for your bed—I would not advise
the beginner to sleep directly on the
ground. To do s0 often causes several
days of pains and aches. If you can't
manage to take along some sort of
portable cot, spread 801710 hemlock
bouhs, or any other s ringY boushs

On the ground, and 71e on triose The

at first, but Use new camp-
er is' usually tired enough when night
comes to sleep ou tacks.
The motto for camps should be clean-
liness, for on this depends the health,.
the enjoyment and the appearance of
the Camp. A11 bed -clothes should be
aired at least -two hours every morning
before making' your bed. All waste
papers and rubbish should be deposit-
ed in a ditch dug for the purpose some
few feetfrom the sleeping quarters,
All tents and shelters should have a
dhoti a few niches deep dug around
their edge in order to drain off the.
rain -water. ' •
A Unique Sight.
One of the most unique and little-
known sights in the Old World is the
"Cave of the horse's ear" at Syracuse,
Sicily. A cavern 160 feet high, 300 '
feet deep and 60 feet wide was hollow-
ed out of a solid rock formation and
carved in the shape of a- horse's ear
(whence ite name), forming a huge
whispering gallery. It was used as a
place of confinement for political pris-
oners. •
Due to the construction of the cave,
any plots which might be hatched, no
matter how lowthey were whispered,
were amplified and converged toward
an aperture in • the . roof, where they
were heard by spies .constantly • kept
posted there, thus enabling the king to
retain his position much longer than
was -customary in those days (about
350 B.C.).
As for the conspirators—well, any
one with sufficient cunning to devise
such a.Piece of confinement. 'surely
would not have to puzzle his brain to ,
find a means ofpermanently removing
his enemies.
As+.a monument to man's skill in con-
