It is unique in this characteristic. No matter how much it is stretched without breaking it will, under ordinary circumstances, return to its original length, reveals an authority in the Philadelphia Inquirer. A single wool fiber, if kept wet and stretched slowly, can be extended by 70 per cent of its original length without breaking and when the stretching fore* is .released it will return exactly to its former length. - •. Wool fibers are fine aM li ,ht in weight. The diameter of a fine wool fiber of 90s quality is about 4 one two-thousandth of an. inch. The weight of such a fiber, six inches long, would be less than a millionth of an ounce. In fact, if 90s quality fibers were placed end to end for one mile the total weight would only be a hundredth of an ounce. Therefore, one ounce of wool fiber of 90s quality would measure 100 miles in length. • ] "f The heat retaining power of clothing is a factor of great importance in every climate.

When Romans Used T«is and Measured the Miles Whefl Pertinax, on December 31, A. p, 192, succeeded Commodus as emperor of Rome, he held an auction of the effects of his murdered predecessor. ^ In an inventory of the goods we read--"Carriages which have contrivances to measure the distance over which theyare driven to count the hours spent in the journey"-- the first mention of taximeters, says a writer in Answers Magazine. What the contrivance was we can't tell, for the next mention of anything of the kind is in 1652, attributed to a member of the Royal society and known as a "chariot way-wiser" -- way-wiser, fi;om the German wegweiser, guide Or indicator. It is described as^having "threO circles, one pointing to the number of rods, another to the miles --very pretty and useful." Later, in 1846, an engineer at Putney, Von Uiter, patented a meter which, though crude, was very similar in principle to our own. ' Anyhow, the fact remains, that 2,000 years ago the poor passenger felt the need for the protection of a taximeter. V * Ferdinand Magellai A noble of Portugal, exiled at thirty-seven after distinguished explorations of the East Indies, Ferdinand Magellan joined the court of Charles V of S|>ain. Twenty-seven years after Ck>hanbur failed to find a westward .passage^ Magellan set sail with five ships on the same mission. It was a year and a half before he discovered the straits, now bearing his name and entered the southern ocean he called the "Pacific." Finally, in the Philippines, on the very edge of his eastern expeditions for Portugal, Magellan was slain by a treacherous chief. Only one ship, the Vittoria, reached Spain. But Magellan's discovery of the way around the world, used by commerce until the Panama canal was ofrenett.'has been hailed as one of the most important in all history.

There the President's well-wishers scented is not much chance of positive action vindictiveness in his outspoken crlti cism of the mentality of the jurists--• particularly the U. S. Supreme Court, which voided pet social and economic schemes fostered in the early days of the Nor Deal. Cloakroom conversations show widespread jesting as to elimination of the "elder statesmen" or present Senate leaders who have ambitions for appointment to the highest tribunal. f The clear intimation that the present jurists were fossilised in their thinking because of their .years docs not set well with veteran Senators and Representatives, who are proud oi their long exerience in lawmaking. The public gestures of solons wanting "the mantle to fall on their shoulders" are watched by their colleagues with amusement. It is not likely that Congress will prove rebellious toward this newest White Houre transformation plan. Legislators have never liked the idea of ar> independent judieiaty with power to say what is the law of the land. The Spcial Security Act, which vitally affects millions of citizens in all vnlks of life, will be revised shortly, flie Administration has forked out several amendments to extend its benefits and at the same time exact a better Spirit of co-operation on the part of state governments. The states have been reluctant to contribute their share in the belief that the national authorities would continue to hold the bag.

The Board is further required to recommend amendments to extend the system to workers now excluded.

Frequently the egg capsule may be seen protruding from the end of the abdomen of the 'smale. The young hatching from these eggs resemble the adults in appearance, but are smaller arid lack wings. They shed their skins,, several times while growing. Cockroaches emit a peculiar odor, which is sometimes imparted to food over which they walk, and often dishes also will reveal their presence.
