Tr, t1 HARRIS IN THE MAZE - At the old palace of Hampton Cour not far from London, there is a curious and intricate maze, composed of alleys separated'- by box trees. about the height of a plan's head. tI is one of the easiest places in the world to get -lost in, as Mr. Jerome le. Terome indi- cates in his Mteoellany of Sense and Nonsense: Harris asked me if I had ever been , in the maze at Hampton Court, He said 11e went in once to show some- body else -the way.: He had studied •i1 up in a map, , and it wag so simple that it seenied foolish—hardly worth the twopence charged for admission,'. Harris said he thought that map moat have been got up es' a practical joke, becaitss it wasn't 'a• bit like the real thing, It was a country eouein that . Hlarrisetoolc;„ tn. He said: "Well. just -go in here, se that you can say .you've been but it's very simple. Ws absurd to call. it ii maze. Yon keep on taking; the first turning to the right" Soon after they: liad got inside they mot solve people who said they had there for three-quarters of an hour and had bad about enough of it. Harris told them they could follow hila 1f they lilted; .11e.wae just going in and then should turn round and come out again. They said it was very kind of hhn and fell behind and followed. As they went along they picked up various other people who wanted to get it over, until they had all the per- sons in the maze. 'People who had given up all hopes of ever gutting either in or out or of ever seeing their home and friends again plucked up courage at the sight of Harris and his party and joined the procession, bless- ing him. Harris said he should judge there were twenty people -following. him; and one woman with a Galiy, wlro had been there all the morning, insisted on taking his arm for fear of losing him. Harris kept on turning to the" right, but it seemed a long way%, .and his cocain said he supposed it: was' a, very big maze, "Oh, one' of the largest," said Her- res, an res, "Yes, it must be," replied the cous- in, "because we've walked a good two. miles already." Hartle began to think It rather strange himself, but he held on until at hast they passed the half of a penny- ben enny bun on the ground that Harris's cousin declared he had noticed there seven minutes before. Harris said, "Oh, im- possible! but the woman with the baby eaid, "Not at all," as she herself had taken 1t from the child and had thrown it down there just before she suet Harris. She added that she wish- ed she never hair met him and said he was an imposter. That made -Harris .---;.Inad, and he produced his map and ex- plained his thenry. "The map may be all right enough,"' Paid one of the party, "if You know whereabouts irr it we are now." - Harris didn't know" and suggests$ Met the best thing to do would be to I- go back td the entrance and begin again.. For the beginning -again part of it there was not much enthusiasm; but with regard to the advisability eif going back to the entrance there was complete unanimity, and so they turn- ed and trailed after Harris again, in the opposite direction; About ten minutes; more passed, andthen • they found themselves in the centre. Harris thought at first of pre- tending that that was what he.had been aiming at; . but the crowd looked dangerous, and he decided to treat It as an accident. Anyhow they hadgot something to start from then. They did• know where they were, and the map was once more consulted•, and the thing seemed situp - ler than ever. Off - they started for there - d tinge. Three minutes later they were back in the centre again. After that they simply couldn't get anywhere else,, Whatever way they turned brought them lack to the mid die, It became so regular at last tha some of the people stepped there• an waited the othere to tete, a walloni round and c$ back t0 thein. Harrl drew out hie neap again after a while but the sight 0? it ouly ilifuriated the slob, and they told=rem to go and cu his hair with It. 1They all got crazy at last and sem out for the keeper, and the man caul and climbed up the ladder outside and Omitted out directions to them. Bu by that time all their heads Were in such a confueed whirl that they were incapable of graspleg'anything, and so the clan told them to stop" where they were and he would come to then. They huddled together and waited and he climbed down and carne in. He' was it young keeper, as luck 1 would have it, and new ib the bus! nese; when Ire got in he, •couldn't find them, and be wandered about, trying to get to them. And then he got lost! They. caught sight, of him every now and then rushing about the other side of, the hedge, end he would see them and rush to go to them., .and they would watt there for about five min utes, .and then he would reappear again in exactly the same spat and ask them where they had been, They. had to wait till one of the old keepers came'back before they got out.

It is often said that the tallest peo- ple are•found in the temperate zones, but the "general idea is that the Bri- tish and the Scandinavians' are the tallest races in the world. If, however, you go carefully into the figures you will find that this is not the ;case. The average height of -English, Scots, and Scandinavians is'the same. A full-glewn man of each.race,aeer- ages Eft. 7 2.6in. in height. The Irish are a fraction of an inch shorter, and next come Danes 'and Belgians.' But these are not - the tallest races. In the matter of inches the records'are held. by Zulus, Iroquois Indians, Poly- nesians, olynesians•, .and Patagonians, The last, the tallest race in the world, average Eft. 10 1.3 in. Now the Zulus live in a semi -tropi- cal climate, the Iroquois in a temper- ate one, and the Polynesians in some of the hottest parts of the world, while the Patagonians inhabit the Horn of South America, one -of the coldest and most miserable places on earth. In remarkable contrast to the Pata- gonians are the Laplanders, who, re- siding almost On the Arctic circle, are the shortest race on earth. The more one studies the natter the more puzzling it becomes, .but one point seems clear enough --that cli- mate and latitude have nothing to do with height, Food and fresh air, in- deed, have more to. de with the de- velopment of the individual' than cli- mate, as Is proved by the fact thht everywhere the farm laborer is taller than the artisan. A striking example is provided by Scotland; where the farm laborer is 4in, taller and 3611). heavier than the average Glasgow artisan. Again, the. fishing population of the Yorkshire coast exceed the Sheffield workers by Sin. in height and 241b. in weight. Sea -weed as Food.

Still more profitable for seaweed farmers is agaragar, which Japan exports in large quantities for the manufacture of isinglass, Coarse -forms of seaweed are utilized by the Japanese for the Manufacture of a'variety of objects, such as clogs., picture frames and electric switch- boards, while a substitute for cotton is made by blending the two kinds of seaweed called in Japanese "segunio" and "goehoguma" : - Thoug'h the British Channel Islaud- ers do not-cltltivate seaweed, the; Royal Courts of Jersey and 'Guernsey lay/down strict rules for the harvest. of Vi g i ;, . sic and these arep, eriodi- cally posted about the towns and vil-, lageS.

A few months ago considerable in- terest was aroused in the scientific world when engineers demonstrated a method of transmitting picturesby wire. NOW, by the same process, pia - tures in eight colors are transmitted and reproduced within an, hour. The: transmission of colored pictures Is effected by a method resembling that used in printing pictures in corers.. Three pictures are sent over the wire. From one all colors except red have been screened out; from the second, ail colors except blue; from the third, all colors -except yellow"?. The pictures are transmitted.- and received in black and white by the usual process. Then, when received, the original colors are restored, and the result is a, picture that containe -not only the•.three pri- mary colors t'ansmitted, but.ilve other - intermediate tones just as 1n coke* printing one color plate is superinr- Posed on the printing of the other col - The transmission of colored pictures was undertaken merely as a laboratory experiment,' but the engineer's who de- veloped the process say that it is fraught with .practical possibilities, such asthe identification of criminals or stolen property. fIj // tri n,- /7 / I I . / i li/, iJ�, it �1, 'i.. �1t�ki 1,, \ �� —i^ Gam.. �t• ,', i .

Now that the hot days of summer are with us, mothers should give special attention to procuring pure milk for their children and the houses- hold. Milk is one of our most nour- ishing and cheapest foods, but unfor- tunately it may also be a very danger- ous food because of certain bacteria that get in from careless handling. These germs cause typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis and summer complaint of infancy. Germs are like plants, they grow best in a warm, moist place, and -will not thrive in the .milk to any extent if the milk is kept cold --as cold as deep well water. It should be chilled immediately -after milking, and should only be delivered to you in bottles that have been thoroughly washed and sterilized. When it reaches you, do not let it stand in a warm place, but keep; -it chilled, Some people used to say that thunder would sour the milk. Don't blame the thunder—it has no- thing to do with it—it is the warm weather that accompanies it and the fact that the milk is not kept cold. What can we do to prevent disease being transmitted through milk? Let us find out all we can about how tale milk we drink is produced. Pay a visit to your dairy and satisfy your- self that the cows, the utensils, and dairymen are scrupulously clean. If you can, use only pasteurized or certified milk as pasteurization is our best safeguard, against the spread of disease through mills, It is theduty of parents to save the lives of many children this summer by giving them good, pure, safe milk.

Many methods or transportation are noW available to the traveller who would cross Canada. Patslia' railway trains provide a daily service, while even in an emergency the air route. may be followed. Now, the journey is to be attempted by motor car. Down deep in the makeup of many descendants of the early pioneers of Canada and the United States there still lingers that spirit of adventure which carried the early explorers on- ward, and it finds its outlet lir devious and extraordinary ways. How some of them are conceived has excited a great deal of wonder in the Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior, which fs reaching a vast number of enquiries for such information. One of the lat. est of these requests bears evidence of this re -birth of the spirit 0f adven- ture in a number of the present gene- ration, but under more modern con- ditions: The writer says "a party of throe of us is thinking of making the attempt next summer of running an automobile from Halifax to Vancouver entirely through Dominion territory. We are aware that this has never been done yet. With the exception K'f a small stretch in the Rockies, all the difficulties seem to be between Sud bury or Sault Ste. Marie and the Manitoba boundary. There are no automobile road,. there, I understand. We contemplate working our way through lumber roads, trails, any open spaces, and anything else that seems possible " r•q R During the piesent season there will be a few places in Canada remaining of which it can be said that thefoot of white man has never trod, and our lit- tle known and even unknown rivers are going to carry the canoes of those lovers of nature and of adventure who appreciate the pleasures and excite- ment of breaking new trails or follow- ing the old ones over routes unexcell- ed for scenery or recreation. The Na- tural Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the Interior has a vast amount of information on the touring conditions in Canada, whether of motoring, camping, canoeing, fish- ing, or just resting, and United States and Canadian vaeationists are making good use of this service.
