Or, The Adventures of Captain Fraser
At Stratford he pawned his watch
and chain and sat down to a lengthy:
meal, and then, with nearly eighteen
shillings in his pocket took tram to
Liverpool Street. The roar of the
city greeted his ears like musie, and,
investing in a pipe and tobacco, he got
on a 'bus bound eastward and secure
ing cheap apartments in tie Mile End'
Road, sat down to consider hie plans.
The prompt appearance of the Tipping
family after his letter to Fraser had •
given him a wholesome dread of the
post, and until the connection between
the two was satisfactorily explained
he would not risk another, even in -his
new name of Thompson. Having
come to this decision, he had another
supper, and then went upstairs to the
unwonted luxury of a bed. ,

M.OSS IS REAL WAIL Si.SSET; Uf41iD
FOR SURGICAL DRESSINGS.
Has Greater Absorbent Qualities Than
Best Cotton and Will Take
Its Place.
"Sphagnum inoss; says a natural-
ist, "usually a light yellowish green, -
grows plentifully in the temperate
zone, and there are nineteen varieties
on the North American continent. It
forms the soil in which orchids flour-
ish, and as it dies it transforms itself
into the peat bogs which give the
Irish peasantry their fuel. In Canada
and the States, its chief users have
been florists and nurserymen, the for-
mer making it the bed for floral de-
signs because of its capacity for bold-
ing moisture, the latter wrapping it
about the roots of young trees and
shrubs to preserve them during trans-
portation."
Wonderful Absorbent Qualities.
Not the most careful examination
with the naked eye would lead the ex-
aminer to suspect the moss of its won-
derful absorbent qualities, but the
microscope revealed its lace-like struc-
ture and the way in which nature en-
ables it to take up and hold in the
minute cells of which it is composed
liquids, such as blood, which soaks
through absorbent cotton to bandages
and bedding and to render antiseptic
whatever fluid passes through its own
filtration plant.
"Of course, the best mos` in the
world is gathered in Ireland," said
the professor. So far we consider that
the best Canadian specimens come
from Nova Scotia and Cape Breton,
where atmospheric conditions are
something similar to the climatic con-
ditions in Ireland. It is also found in
Northern Ontario. In this part of the
world I find that the most luxuriant
growth and the largest leafage is to
be found under trees where the mois-
ture is held for a greater length of
time.
"Medically and economically the dis-
covery of the properties of sphagnum
seems a godsend. Its absorbent qual-
ity is six—some authorities say seven
—times greater, weight for weight,
than cotton or gauze; it is aseptic,
that is, bacteria will not grow In :it.,
it is said to be .spxiiigiel.,axirl, tlhete
fore, does not pack as does cotton
wool, and its cost, as you see, is prac-
tically negligible.
Canada to Supply Moss.
"The moss is handpicked, to free
it from leaves, sticks, evergreen
needles, etc., and it is then allowed to
dry in wide, shallow bags. Subse-
quently
ubsequently it is enclosed in cheese cloth,
or gauze, of the size required for vari-
ous pads, different qualities of the
moss being put to different uses.
Splint pads, bed pads and elbow
cushions are made of slightly coarser
moss than that used for the absorbent
pads, which are made in four sizes.
Voluntary workers were given per-
mission, a year or more ago, to gath-
er sphagnum in the New Forest for
the British Red Cross, and it is be-
ing used also in the French and Bel-
gian hospitals and in Malta, Alexan-
dria and Serbia.
With the faminb in the cotton mar-
ket and the discovery of sphagnum,
which lies ready to the hand of Bri-
tain and her allies, there comes cor-
roboration of the assertion of many
mens of science, that somewhere
Daine Nature has provided for every
need of man. And devout souls will
add to this their conviction thwt
when men's need is sorest and when
they have made use of all possible
ways of supplying that need that
there is a Directing Mind leading
them to further sources of supply
and the best means of adapting it
to their necessities.
Primitive Way of Heating.
With coal selling at iftiO a ton and
the Government gradually taking
over all existing supplies and prohib-
iting its use by hotels and boarding-
houses, and with gas and electricity
dear or the supply reduced, Italian
households and business offices have
had to revert to the ancient method of
burning finely -powdered wood char --
coal dust in a two -gallon earthcrn jar.
The jar is filled half full of charcoal
dust, placed in the open air oe near an
open window and some live coals of
wood or charcoal put in the centre of
the dust. Slow combustion. is started
and gradually the entire surface of
the dust burns to ashes while the
smoldering fire reaches downward.
When, after 12 ]hours, no more smoke
or little gas is given off, the heated
jar is placed in the cold room and let
stay there for 24 Ihoiu•s, after which a
.fresh layer of dust is placed in the
jar and the process repeated. Before
the war this means of heating had
been abandoned except by the very
poor.
