In peeling potatoes it is often Oh. tlerred that the enter flesh of the tuber contains brown slivers extending fiem the surface inwee-d to the depth of about: oee :an inch. These sliv- ers dl Laree efe. pt to snehtly injure the appearance of the cooked potato. Usually their location is indicated ex- ternally by a minute puncture in the skin, In sonic cases eaeh sliver is sur- mounted by a pronounced elevation, and tuhere so affected are caned pim- ply potatoes. The slivers and accompanying pim- ples are caused by minute white worms, the iarvm of the -common flea beetle, which bore into the tubers while they are growing. Naturally slivers are most common in potatoes in locali- ties where flea beetles are most abun- dant It is likewise plain that to pre- vent the appeatance of slivers in the tubers it is neeessary to prevent tea beetles from attacking the tops. This is best itecomplikthed by spraying the plants very thoroughly with borde.aux mixture containing paris green at the rate of about twelve ounces to fifty gal- lons of bordeaux. The same treatment prevents blight and the ravages of/po- tato bugs. -F. C. Stewart in American Agriculturist Chinese Anatomy. Chinese physicians have some curlotte notions in regard to human anatomy. The truth is they know nothing about anatomy as that word is understood by' American physicians, their principal authority on the subject being a work entitled "Neitjing." of which Huang Ti, who lived from 2697 to 2597 B. Ca is said to be the author. According to :Chinese physicians, the human heart occupies air oet the same position as is assigned by European and American physicians to the atom- aeh, and biles they maintain, has its origin in the back of the head. They also claim that a human being has 365 bones, which correspond to the 365 days of the year; that a "man has twelve ribs and a woman fourteen and that a man's skull is composed of eight and a woman's six pieces. Moreover, they say that in every hu- man body there are twenty-two parts which are important and fifty-six which are unimportant, and they lay great stress on the necessity of taking good care of the Important parts. Korean Schools. In Korean schools the master is dressed in white„ generally wears spec- tacles and always has a rod in order that the child may not be spoiled.. He gathers his flock around him in the most fatherly manner and deals out justice with an unsparing hand. The scholars are dressed in their best, but must study without their shoes. These latter. are kept In sight of the master at all tithes. The course of study Is not 'very extensive to look at but when it comes to studying the Korean language through the medium of Chinese it must be confessed that the beginning of a course is difficult. The scholar is first taught the name and meaning of Chi- nese characters and then their meaning in Korean, just as though he were: obliged to learn: English through the medium of the Greek alphabet.

Talking Through the Body. To talk througn a human body, or a row of human bodies, for the matter of that, is one of the weirdest of the elec- trician's feats, If a telephone wire be severed and the two ends be held by a person, one in each band, but far apart, it is quite possible for two indi- viduals to carry on a conversation through the body of the medium as readily and as (listinetly as if the line had been properly connected.

In peeling potatoes it is often Oh. tlerred that the enter flesh of the tuber contains brown slivers extending fiem the surface inwee-d to the depth of about: oee :an inch. These sliv- ers dl Laree efe. pt to snehtly injure the appearance of the cooked potato. Usually their location is indicated ex- ternally by a minute puncture in the skin, In sonic cases eaeh sliver is sur- mounted by a pronounced elevation, and tuhere so affected are caned pim- ply potatoes. The slivers and accompanying pim- ples are caused by minute white worms, the iarvm of the -common flea beetle, which bore into the tubers while they are growing. Naturally slivers are most common in potatoes in locali- ties where flea beetles are most abun- dant It is likewise plain that to pre- vent the appeatance of slivers in the tubers it is neeessary to prevent tea beetles from attacking the tops. This is best itecomplikthed by spraying the plants very thoroughly with borde.aux mixture containing paris green at the rate of about twelve ounces to fifty gal- lons of bordeaux. The same treatment prevents blight and the ravages of/po- tato bugs. -F. C. Stewart in American Agriculturist Chinese Anatomy. Chinese physicians have some curlotte notions in regard to human anatomy. The truth is they know nothing about anatomy as that word is understood by' American physicians, their principal authority on the subject being a work entitled "Neitjing." of which Huang Ti, who lived from 2697 to 2597 B. Ca is said to be the author. According to :Chinese physicians, the human heart occupies air oet the same position as is assigned by European and American physicians to the atom- aeh, and biles they maintain, has its origin in the back of the head. They also claim that a human being has 365 bones, which correspond to the 365 days of the year; that a "man has twelve ribs and a woman fourteen and that a man's skull is composed of eight and a woman's six pieces. Moreover, they say that in every hu- man body there are twenty-two parts which are important and fifty-six which are unimportant, and they lay great stress on the necessity of taking good care of the Important parts.
