PREPARING THE HOTBED. '
The imtbed is prepared by packing
fresh manure from the horse barn
very evenly and firmly In the pit and
covering with six inches of rich eon.
The Manure must not have heated or
coined, lett it Is best to be heating
when used, and should be forked over
a few tiMee to get the beat even all
through before being packed in the
pit. It intelnd !reit:Arty moist, or it will

it will heat slowly and evenly and will

out burning black to an.y great extent.
. Son fov hotbeds requiree a lot of ha-
unts irt it, and it ehould be fairly rich.
Goldframes are constructed the same
tte hotbeds except that no pit is pro-
vided, as no manure ts ueed for heat-
ing. The heat comes from the sun -
Belt. The hotbed to start the plants
and the coldfraiete to grow and harden
them ready to set out makes an ideal
comblitation. It is trapoesible to grow
plante to a. large eize in a hotbed.
Two transplaattings Are Utter than
One. Where transplanting is done

British Rule In I
Germany
1 As Seen by a Fre:tolerate
--4 4.4
(By Jaul Hyacinthe Leyson).
I have just visited the whole ot the
German area occupied by the Allies
and compared the diverse methods of
the eccupants-French, British, Amer-
leam and Belgian, A thousaad ar.
tides have already been sent to their
Mere by buudrods of Allied corres-
pondents, and I eoult1 add thereto a
thousand pereottal observations.
Sriefly, eonceruing the British au-
thorities, whose houored and grateful
guest I have been during this tour, I
snalt say this; their system of occu-
pation Is ,excellent and an example to
all othera-no familiarity with the
Germans, but no bullying. ' Britian,
wholesome and elean-cul liae the edge
of her cliffs, has installed herself in
Hunland, and that's all.
.A.1,,L BRITISH CONTROL.
Fully aware of the elleretY'a MOOda
and morals -if I may so express my-
self -the Bettish have simply taken
over under their control ancl at their
eervice not only, like all the Allies, the
German Civil Service and other State
organleations, but. the private capac-
itieeeancl efficiencies crf the vanquished,
All through the British zone of oe-
cupation an Allied officer, as was 'the
case with the writer of these lines, i$
practicaly in the hands of Germ=
clerks for billeting, information, and
'all other commodities, and they are
zealotennuourteaus, versect in all
langnageni; eager to serve under any
rule, prone to curb -under any yoke,
and proud ot the demination. Thus
the British authorities, with tactfal
and cold comprehension and a sort. 01
distant eontaet, are using the Huns
as their lamina not their slaves, es the
higher domesticity of the household:
But if the British naturally behave
as gentlemen, even towards the ban-
dits who stew 15,000 of their clviliens
on sea and 6,000 on land -that is to
say, if.they are neither offensive nor
obtrusive in the slightest degree ver-
sus the eonquered-yet do they lose
no opportunity of bringing home suit-
atantially to the Gerraan the hard fact
that they are victors. As you know,
the German papers are all published
with this notice over the tine:
"Erscheint mit Erlaubnia der brine-
chen mIlitarischen Behorde" (Issped
by permission of the British Military
Command). Oh, John Bull, My friend,
what a revanehe!
A PLOT THAT FAILVD.
Now, whilst I was here in Cologne,
the venerable and stately Kolnisehe
Zeitung, the Times of former GennanY,
tried to work out a little pfeee of tom-
foolery against the Freneb, accerding
to the Instructions of the German
propaganda, which is more active than
ever, and always in the same old
hands. The device was to piratse up
the British occupation to the detrl-
Went of the French. A Fresno!' Ally
is proud to state that on the Very rao-
bunt when the number of the paper
e appeared the editor of the Kolnische
was summoned to the Britten G.H.Q„
and simply told that "that Would not
do," and that the paper would have to
be suppressed for a week, The jolly
old 13oehe took it for a vague warning,
and was totally flabbergasted (as-
tounded) to find on the next morning
that his august paper was silnpreitsed
for a week.
Other slight but trenchant hints an,
to their present conditions are also
given to the Huns in the moat remote
and direct manner, such as posters on
the walls, printed in Engltsh, whieh
all the German middle class tan read:
"The eausea of the Germani defeat: a
public leeture by Captain X, of the
British eteff, "and poster% poeters all
teeer the town in English, pointing to
the YatT.G.A. ,and to all sorts of per-
Manefit pleasurable perforraanees of
the diteltish, sueh as the daily British
theatricals for the lads.

very sheet time ih anything like real-
ly bad wettthen. Neverthless, it may
be possible in the time to come to
build flying boats a such enormous
size that, if compelled to descend on
the water, they would be capable of
riding Out even an Atlantle sale.
It must, however, be some years at
any tete before boats of nu:eh a size
can be built, for they would cost many
tens of thousands of pounds to build.
and it hardly ,eeems likely thatany of
the aircraft firms of to -day would be
justified in going to the 'expense 01
buildine suck vessels experimentally.
There remains then the airship. It is
fairly well-known that a German air-
ship made a trip from. the Balkans to
Central Africa and back th November,
1917, which was equal in length to a
voyage from Eugland to New York
and back. It is true that he had not to
contend with bad weather and that if
had met with severe head winds It
Ventild have iled to return, but it
seems probable that even against a
fairly strong head wind the =proved
airship of to -clay should be able to
make the Transatlantic trip, in one
direction,
LIKE A BALLOON.
. .
The airship also has the advantage'
that, in the event of engine break-
down. it can drift like a free balloon
until the defect has been put right.
The greatest objection to all airships
of to -day is the constant danger • of
fire. The engines themselves ' are
driven by the most inflanimaiale of all
fuels, and the airship itself is heated
by means of the mist inflammable of
all gases. Fire at san in early steam-
sbips, and even on selling vessels, was
always the chief dread ,of sailors, and
fire' on an • airship in 'min -Atlantic
seeras even a worse prospect.

"STEEL,"
Origin of Wor-d ie Wrapped in
Mystery.
It appears that we do not know
whence the word "ste,e1" came, nor
even the original meaning thereof. A
leading authority claims the word as
having started in England; he Appears
to be mistaken, when an examination
Is made of all the records.
earlien the word first matte its ale

had become a proper name on the con.
tinent, shewleg the goueral difthsion
of the term. We are equally disap-
poirited in the Greek and Roman
cassias. They knew how to harden
soft iroe, but had .110 tame for the
fintshect produce we call steel,
The Greek e obtained a good brand
pi- teel from Chalybes et Sinopee that
brand they caned "clialybe" or "eh*.
base' add the Romans adopted the
term. But the comnion people did not
use the word, svIrich occurs mainly in
poetry. It was so employed by Aeschy-
lus, about 475 B. C., and in Lane by
Virgil, a few years before the Christian
era.
Whed the writers of good Latin
prose wished tO convey the idea of
steel they Were, apt to use the word
"tides," which emans a sharp edge
or a sharp point. In the third ceutury
of our era we find the word "salmis,"
atid later etill the word "aciarium,"
whence the French "actor," Inca:ling
steel.
The word "steel" has not been found
prior to the eighth century. It occurs
in the so-called Epthangloss, where
"steeli" is given as the Anglo-Saxon
equivalent of the late Latin "aceear•
lura," just mentioned. This may be
verified by a consultation of Henry
Sweet's edition of the gloss, 1883,
page 2.

Long hair should be dealt with prefer-

preparatory to going to bed, It should
first be well brushed with a brush stiff
enough to go well through It to the

head. This brushing cleans the hairs,
and gets the dust of the day out of the
scalp. Then a piece of soft clean rag
should be dipped .in a mixture of one
ounce of glycerine with six ounces of
water, and the scalp and roots of the
hair shotild be firmly*. but gently rubbed
with it, drawn over the finger tips. A
patch ot the scalp shraeld be massaged
with the tips of the ftngors and moved
gently to and fro on the skull till it feels
loose and elastic, when another par-
sboulci be dealt with in the same way.
