SC017 & MACKAY HAVE, The peculiar mark Which we call a "dimple" is really nothing more than a dent or depression in a part of. the body where the flesh is quite soft. - When we speak of dimples we naturally think of -those ini the cheek, the indetnations which appear when a person smiles. But it should be remembered that dimples are also to be found in other parts, of the body. Babies, for example' usually have dimpled elbows andknees, While infants who are plump often have several in their backs and shoulders. These are due to the fact that the fibres which lie • under the -outside skin and help to hold it firmly in • place are of varying lengths and run in all directions. Occasionally these • fibees will be toe short in one spot or another and pull the skin in, form- ing the dimple. This natural effect can be easily imitated by a slight surgical operation; the outer layer of the skin being opened and lifted ,and the fibres underneath snipped so that the skin, upon healing, is pulled 'slightly upward. The fact that dimples frequently occur in the cheek is, due to the comparative irregular- ity of the length of the skin fibres of this part of the body. the returning °nicer immediately announces the result. in handling the returns, the coun- ty is regarded au the Unit, and the largest- city in the state is the central point for the collection and tabulit- tion of the results. These are flash- ed to central headquarters and bul-• letined throughout the country, while the newspaper that has col- lected them is receiving similar news from all parts of the country after it has been sent to New York. It is in the large cities that the work is most difficult. In New York alone there are 2,737 election precincts, and to count the ballots and • make the returns demands the efforts of thousands of clerks, reporters and messengers The fact that New York State is considered pivotal, be- cause it has the largest eleetoral vote and because it cannot be claimed in • advance as either for Cox or Harding, makes it of vital importance from a newspaper point a view that the,returns there should be secured with the utmost speed, and that they should be accurate. GETTING THE NEWS OF THE ' ELECTION - At midnight of election day .in the lst. Good _sound healthy vege. tables. - 2nd. Good clean sealers with tight- fitting tops and good rubbers. 8rd. Wash the vegetables and 811 into the sealers. 4th. Cover with water salted to taste. 6th. Put on the tops and leave slightly loose. , 8th. Place sealers -in a steamer or boiler half fthled withco1d water and heat to the boiling point for half an hour. 7th. Remove sealers from boiler or steamer and tightendown the tops. - 8th. After 24 hourit loosen the tops and return to the boiler or steamer and give another half hour's boiling. 9th. Repeat this process after an- other 24 hours. Then tighten down the tops and place away. • This treatment should destroy all micro-organisms present and if the top is hermetically sealed no others can get in until it is opened. Another method of sterilizing is to give one boiling to the filled sealers for 3-4 hoer's. This, however, cannot be depended on to give as satisfactory results as the above. Another method is to heat in steam under 16 lbspressure for thirty min- utes. This is the commercial way for which special strong' steamers (autoclaves), that can withstand in- ternal pressure, are necessary. A small vessel of this type suitable for household use is now on the market. Another method' of preserving vegetables is by drying 'them in sp- ial ovens. This drying process ex- tracts sufficient moisture from the vegetables to prevent the bacteria present from having the power to multiply unless the materials should get moist before being used. If suf- ficient moisture is not extracted or should the dried materials get moist during storage, then decay or rot will rapidly develop, as the bacteria are not killed in the drying process and only require moisture to enable them to develop. In the storing of such fruits as apples and pears it is essetnial: 1. To have only sound specimens. 2. To pack carefully without bruising. 3. To store in a cool, well -ventilat- ed place where they will neither be overheated or 'frozen. Such fruits as strawberries, rasp- berries, plums, peaches, currants, blueberries, etc., which are soft, can- not be kept any length of time with- out fermenting or 'molding unless they are canned. The canning process is simply for the purpose of killing all mold spores and yeast cells that are on the fruit and preventing others getting on un- til the material is to be used. Canning fruits is not so difficult as canning vegetables because it is eas- ier to kill yeasts and molds which affect fruits than it is to kill bacteria that affect vegetables. These fruits may be cooked in a fruit kettle, sugar added to taste, and filled het direct from the kettle into sterilized sealers removed direct from scalding water. Another way to preserve such fruits is by the cold pack method. In this method the 'fruits are not cooked before putting into the sealer. Sound fruit not overripe should be used. This is picked over and filled directly into clean sealers. .Stone fruit should be pitted. A. syrup of sugar and water sweet- ened to taste is then filled into sealers so as to completely cover the fruit The tops, rubbers and. rings are put on but not screwed down tightly. The sealers are then placed in a holler containing cold water sufficient to reach three-fourths up the sealers, and this is brought to a boil and kept boiling for half an hour. The sealers are then removed and the tops screw- ed down tightly at once. When cooled, store away.—Prof. D. H. Jones„ 0. A. College, Guelph. In enly fourteen.

LUKER and it is a long-established principle for pewspapers not to concede any- thing -contrary to their hopes, as long as there is tile slightest chance of it being premature. In 1916 the delay and the first' erroneous reports were due to the conflicting returns. from California -and some _other Western States. California had been count-' e3 on as a sure Republican state, and when it was known that Republican candidates for the Senate and vari- ous other offices . had been elected, It *was naturally taken for granted that Hughes also would be elected. That he was not was a result of the treachery of Senator Hiram joke - son, of California, later on distin- guished as the most ferocious op- ponent of the League of Nations. tI is a tremendous feat of news gathering to speedily collect the elec- tion returns and have them flashed to all the neivspapers in the United States and Canada taking the As- sociated • Press Service., The de- • spatches are sent to more than 1,260 daily newspapers. To carry the mass of reports the service will use more than '40,000 miles of telegraph wire, in addition to the 60,000 miles -em- ployed in its daily service. For eighteen months before election night an expert on election returns travels all over the United States arranging the organization that is to be. called upon on the first Tues- day after the first Monday in every °fourth November. Accuracy and speed are. the twin essentials to the ,collection and compilaticie of elec- tion returns. 'There is no demand for literary style. That is left to the various experts who write the general introduction. The task was greater this year than ever •before, because there are not • only thousands more polling precincts, but millions more veters. In 1916 the number of votes cast Ines 18,628,843, and it can be only guessed at what the number was Monday. Some think it may be as low as 26,000,000, others as high as 35,000,000. It may be either low- er than the low estimate or higher than the high. Only a fraction of those entitled to vote will do so, de- spite the frenzied interest that is worked up about an election. For instance, there are said to be about 26,000,000 qualified women voters, and yet the total vote cast may be less than the -vote the women alone are entitled to register. Interest in the early returns will centre in three or four states, regarded as pivotal, states that are neither cer- tainly Republican nor certainly Democratic, • but which have been both and may be either to -day. The sharps will saidy eagerly the Indiana, and if they can also get a flash at the apparent trend in the Middle West they will probably take a chance and predict the election of whichever candidate is 'eroding in these communities., There will be little interest in the returns from the South. That is solidly Democratic and promises to remain so indefi- nitely. It rnest puzzle Canadians to read the first of the election! returns in evening newspapers that may go to press about noon. The reason is that in certain states the law per- mits the 'to be counted as soon as the known voters have cast their ballots. If everybody has voted by noon the poll is closed and directed, and Constantine could swiftly leave in a yacht in the event of a successful 'movement to restore him to the throne. Switzerland would no doubt be greatly relieved should Constantine decide to 'go to Italy, and the ex - King would be glad to go.

She instructed Mr. Morse to bury the arm which has been pre- served bY him. Tattoo marks made indentification of the arm easy. Two clasped hands were tattooed on thee arm. Belo* were the words; "For- . get:me-not Annie." The only- other parts of the body found were a rib and a few bones. Because Stephens's body never rose to the surface doubt was express- ed by some people that he was in the barrel when it passed over the brink. The body was probably held under the fall until it disintegrated and the various parts undoubtedly passed downstream unobserved. • AS A WOMAN THINKETH • Why she regards her sex so lightly —and takes herself so serimesly.

CONSPIRING FOR THE GREEK THRONE Greece is not at the end of her troubles with Ring -Constantine, his German wife and the other ,royalist conspirators who from Switzerland and Italy carry on their plots to seize the throne. Prince Paul has declined to become King of Greece because, it is reported, his father has not re- nounced his'claims. Now it is said that Prince Christopher may make•an effort. It is conceivable that 'Con- stantine might not forbid his brother. to do so, because he is deeply indebted to him. It is suspected, indeed, that .Christopher has been financirrg the Greek ex -royalties for some time past, and has been supplying the funds needed for their machinations. Chris- topher is in a position to do this, be- cause he married Mrs. Leeds, an American. whose husband left -her many millions" Should Christopher shut off the money the royalist move- ment might be in danger of collapse, although it may be that Constantine did not leave the country entirely empty handed. - It is an open secret that Constan- tine has been abusing the hospitality of Switzerland to ',plot against the present Government of Greece, and it has been, hinted, horribly enough, that it was one of his supporters, who brought about the recent tragic death of Constantine's own son; the late King. • According to an affidavit by the Greek Consul at Berne, three months ago Constantine was present at a meeting in Switzerland with Prince Andrew and his wife, Prin- cess Alice. In the course of the dis- cussion Andrew and ' Alice swore that they would rid Greece of Verii- zelos at whatever personal cost , to themselves. As .a result Of the at- tack made uporiaVenizelos in Paris, • the Greek Government pointed out to the Swiss Government that Con- stantine was engaged in murderous plots. The result was that a leMt was conveyed to Andrew that his presence in Switzerland was no long- er desirable. Fearing that if he remained long- er • Constantine might be coinpro- mised Andrew left for Italy with his wife arid children. They first went to Venice, which was a convenient half -way place between Constan- tine's headquarters and Siena, where the former _Greek Premier Gunaris is established with his staff. Gunaris is said to be the brains behind. the movemeitt to have Constantine re- stored just as Christopher is the financial backer -o1-the project. He seems to htive considerable inflti- ence in Italy, and it was he who secured permission from the, Italian Government for Constantine to pay a visit to Milan.- It is curious that Italy should have granted this per- missiOn in view of Constantine's war record and the fact that he is en- gaged now in a constiracy Against the peace of a country which, was an ally of Italy's in the war, b'uf mat- ters of etiquette concerning foreign royalty are necessety al,scare to the ordinary citizen.

What makes the luntp come in my throat when I cry? The lump which comes up into your throat when you cry is caused by a sort of paralysis of the rings of muscles ia your throat The muscles of yeur throat can make these rings of waves upward also, but it is more difficult upward than downward probably because of lack of prac- tice, as we say. When you have put something into your stomach that makes you sick and causes you to vomit, the throat muscles take the matter from your stomach and bring it back to the mouth in the same Way, exceptof course, that this action, be- gins at the bottom. Sometime •s when you cry or lose control of yourself in some other way ,(you know, of course, that in cry- ing you always lose control of your- self, don't you?) practically the' tame effect is produced as when you have something itt your stomach that should come out.

I;LAIN.KEROSENE HAS' SCORES • OF HUMBLE USES FOR EVERY DAY One of the common! things of com- mon place service is plain kerosene. There is no end to the things it helps out in, and one of the big ones is the daily demising of the porcelain. Clean bathtubs, wash ',bowls, toilets and. sinks are a refinement no good house- keeper can do without, but scrubbing them daily with sandsoap and gritty powders is death to the • finish of .the enamel and wears the porcelaini more than its service. That they may be quickly, thoroughly and safely groomed every day with a harmless purifier is a message of good "cheer to the careful manager. Simply use a soft cloth dampened with kerosene and the usual soap and warm water and every bit of grimy dirt -will dis- appear like magic, leaving a velvety polish which is actually a preserva- tive to the enamel. If it leaves an At- mosphere as well, rinsing with hot water -will take it away at once or it will soon disappear. The best plan is to prepare a kettle of kerosene and keep it on the shelf in the bathroom ready for daily use. To one part of kerosene and twelve drops of oil of lavender and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. A few minutes each day given to the porcelain with this home- made, harmless solution will keep it immaculate and sanitary for it leaves a fresh and invigorating odor. -Grease in the pipes. Grease in pipes causes much trou- ble, but by the liberal use of kero- sene many stubborn cases can be rea moved without calling in. the expen- sive trouble -nn. Pour a quantity of kerosene down the pipes at night and allow -it to remain till morning; then flush- them with a strong, hot solution of soda or ammonia water. This will wash out all waste and grease, clearing the pipes and puri- fying them as well, for kerosene is one of the best disinfectants known.

It may be just a reminder to say that kerosene cleans woodwork, en- amel, paint and durable finish almost better than anything else. • It also brightens up carpets wonderfully. In treating them use cornmeal saturated with just enough kerosene to moisten it and sprinkle over the carpet before sweeping. Linoleum, oilcloths and tiling can be ciaickly transformed in the same way. Wipe the framework and wire netting of the door and window sereensefrequently with kerosene and they will not rust, will last longer and look better.

Simply because, when you are scared or frightened, the:blood almost leaves your face entirely. Under nor- mal conditions, the red blood which is flowing though the arteries of your • face gives the face a reddish tinge, and your face becomes white when you are frightened, because then the blood leaves the face. It is quite sin- gular, but when you are really fright- ened, whatever the cause may be, the human system receives such a shock that the heart just 'about stops beat- ing altogether. When your heart stops beating, of course, the flow of the blood from the heart stops, and then there is ne supply of fresb red blood corning through the arteries under the skin of your face. Therefore, you look white—the \color your face would be if no blood ever flowed though your arteries and veins. Some people have faces so white they look as though they were scared aU -the time. This is not because they have no blood fie -wing through the veins and arteries in their laces, but be- cause their supply of blood is less NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE Mica deposits sufficiently large to develop are known to exist in 2$ states. • A Tubber tip On a new bathroom door hookeprevents it injuring a wall when the door is opened.
