Bunted Camels in U. S.

Early settlers of the American West <IB7O-’80) relished the meat of the wild camel. Camel steaks were a favorite dish. These wild camels were descendants of a herd imported from Egypt for army use in 1858. Turned loose because they caused horses to stampede (camels have a strange odor), the camels multiplied rapidly until wiped out by American hunters in search of the fine-flavored meat.

HOUSE HUMIDIFIERS CAN BE HAD IN MANY FORMS

* I 'HERE are many inquiries on * methods for humidifying the air of a house. With radiators, water pans can be set on top or hung to one side; but these are of no great] effect because radiators do not become sufficiently hot to vaporize the water in any great amount. A much better type consists of two water pans of the same length as the radiator, so that there is a space between them. A piece of coarse mesh cloth is placed across the space, with its ends dipping into the two water pans. Water absorbed by ; the ends is carried through the rest of the cloth, and evaporation is rapid! by the passage of hot air through the part of the cloth over the open space^—Bans of this design are on general sale. The large electrical' companies and heating contractors can supply a humidifying device to | be attached to the ceiling of the cellar connected to a register in the floor above. A circulating fan, a water spray connected to the plumbing, and air filter, all under adjustment, will provide the house with the degree of humidification that is required, j Moldy Odor Question: How can we kill the moldy smell in one of our downstairs rooms, caused by ground being ununder the room? I Answer: ; The best thing to do Would be to put down a good concrete floor in the cellar and to provide more ventilation. Until you are ready to do this, however, it would help to use one of the blanket types of insulating materials, nailed between the floor joists. This kind of insulation is covered with a waterproof paper and in one and two-inch thicknesses. The thicker the better. You also can dry up some of the dampness by using calcium chloride, an inexpensive chemical that has the property of absorbfng moisture out of the air. Place several pounds of this in a wire basket, and stand it on a pail to catch the water that will form. Your heating plant should help to dry out the air of the cellar. * Protecting Water Pipe Question: Last winter the pipe leading from the well into my cellar froze up. The pipe is only two feet below the ground level; but it will be impossible for me to bury it deeper. My plan is to dig it up and put insulation around it. What is your advice on this? Answer: First, cover the pipe with a thick felt insulation. Then box it in, making all the joints of the box watertight by forcing in caulking compound. Then place additional insulation in the box, using mica pellets or water-repellent rock wool. There should be at least three inches of space to fill in between the insulated pipe and sides of the box. After putting on the cover, you can waterproof the box by applying two heavy coats of liquid tar or asphalt all over it. {Paint for Cement Block Question: j, What kind of paint should I use on my cement-block garage to make the walls waterproof inside and out? Answ r er: Use a cement base paint that contains a waterproofer. Most mason material yards handle this product. It comes as a powder, to be mixed with water. Size of Anthracite Question: I should like to bum canncl and anthracite coal in an open grate in my fireplace. What size anthracite would be best suited: stove or nut? Answer: Nut coal would be the best for your purpose.

Map of 1200 B. C.

The oldest existing map in the world is a route map of a mining district in Nubia, made by Egyptians about 1200 B. C. It is on papyrus. AVe are aware that the Romans surveyed large parts of their Empire, and had excellent maps, but not one of these has survived: The only relic is a 13thcentury copy of a map made for the Emperor Severus. * The first of modern maps is one of a part of Switzerland dated 1513. In 1575 Saxton published an Atlas of England. This was from actual surveys an& contains 35 sheets. The French government was the first to start a survey of its whole country. This began in 1683, but was not published until 1744. In 1745 the Jacobite rebellion revealed the need of a correct map of the Highlands of Scotland, and the work began in 1747, but it was not until 1791 that Parliament ordered a survey of England for the production of a map of one inch to the mile. This was not completed until the year 1870.
