aeeorcflng. to a study made by J. A. Lee
r * r vt the HU1 ** u,oL ' Fottstowa. Pa.
To find out which word* are moat (t*
fluently misspelled. Mr. letter com¬
piled a list <>f the 50 words moat often
found incorrect In the composition^
written during a period of seven years
by 2,414 candidates for college eu»
trimce.
This Inquiry suggested to thd rwteU
ers of London that a similar list might I
he compiled from the work of British
pupils. As a preliminary to this stutty
the 00 words that had stumped Ameri¬
can students were tried out on British
puplll Teachers in all parts of Eng¬
land, Scotland and Wales dictated this
list to 1.254 pupils In the elementary:
schools. t
As a result of the test, It was found
that British and American students
misspell different words. The word
“too,” flrft on the American list,
was forty-third In order of words
misspelled by#British pupils. '‘To¬
gether,” another seemingly bard
word for American pupils, is not
a stumbling block • to the British.
It was fourth mi the American list and
forty-ninth on the British.
Thy only word which appeared
among the ten most frequently mis¬
spelled by both American and British
pupils was “committee.” Whether or
mrt to double the ro’s, t’s and e’s was
evidently a puzzle to both groups.
No comparison can be made of the
spelling ability of American and Brit¬
ish pupils, as the British elementary
school children were, of course, much
younger than the American high school
graduates. This difference of age ac¬
counts somewhat for the dissimilarity
in the misspelled words.
Long words were hardest for the
British children, whereas the mutter of
length was not an index to those mis¬
spelled by Americans. The 25 words
of the 50 which British pupils most fre¬
quently misspelled contained 229 let¬
ters, whereas the remaining 25 con¬
tained only 160. American pupils, on
the other hand, misspelled about an
equal number of long and short words.

Vines Twine Right or Left
Some vines always twine to the
right, while others almost invariably
twine to the left. Many vines, how¬
ever, wind their main stems and
branches spirally around stiff trunks
and stalks. This enables the vine, al¬
though powerless to stand alone, to
display Its flowers to the bees and of¬
fer its seeds to the birds and the
wind. Some vines fn twining always
bend to the right and others always
bend to the left. The efimbing garden
bean is a good example of the vines
which always rise by twining to the
right. Wherever the cultivated or
wild runner beans grdw, whether
feeble or strong, in sunshine or shade,
every part of the main stem will be
found bending constantly to the right
In climbing Its support. The common
hop vine Is just as constant in Its in¬
clination to the left.
Uata on Oil and Gas
The Department of the Interior has
just Issued bulletin 736 of the geolog¬
ical survey, which Is made up of eight
reports that have already been pub¬
lished as individual booklets. This bul¬
letin will be of particular interest to
geologists and oil and gas operators
working in the Rocky mountains, mld
eontlnent and gulf coast fields, for it
contains the geological survey’s re¬
ports on the geology and oil prospects
in the Osage oil field of Wyoming, the
Crow Indian reservation of Montana,
the El Dorado oil field of Arkansas,
the Madill-Denlson area of Oklahoma
and Texas, the Ranger district of
Texas and the Brooks, Steen and
Grand Saline salt domes of Texas. The
bulletin Is illustrated with’ maps, geo¬
logic sections and well logs, which
■should be of use to drillers and op¬
erators in the areas described.
Tin Reduced to Fine Powder
While tin has been in use for a
great many centuries, yet ancient ves¬
sels of tin are so rarely found by
archaeologists as to be well-nigli u n
known. This is not due to the fact
that tin rusts, for the metal does not
combine chemically with the oxygen of
the ah- or that of water, but to the
circumstance that a sort of decay does
attack it, producing a change In its
crystalline structure, the nature of
which does not seem to he clearly un
derstood. This ends in reducing the
tin to a fine gray powder, The process
proceeds much more rapidly at certain
times than it does at others and
seems to be transmitted from one piece
of tin to another, almost like an in¬
fectious diseaze.

Winchester cathedral owes ItB pres¬
ent stability to the work of a diver In
the employment'' of a Arm of wreck
salvors and treasure-raisers. He had
to work in a pit below the foundations,
placing bugs of cement la the dark by
sense of touch. Though the* Idea of
employing a diver to restore the solld
«f the building was a last resource,
it was a complete success, and one of
the "stlffest propositions that a diver
has ever been called upon to tackle”
was brought to a satisfactory conclu¬
sion. l’lte
divers employed ln the Redding
pit are using the plpe-Une type of diff
lng dress, but the self-contained type
is frequently used for unusual work.
It was only owing to the existence of
the self-contained type that the Severn

was thought that this great under¬
taking would have to be abandoned.
After the water had broken Into the

that the sluices at the face were

1,200 feet along the tunnel in the dark,
Constantly meeting with obstructions
and stumbling over sleepers and rails.
At last Lambert closed the sluices, or
rather thought he had closed them,
but not knowing that one of them
worked on a left hand screw, he shut
one only to open the other. He there¬
fore, had to retrace his steps and cor
the error. m
In Canada some years ago divers
were used in connection with the po¬
lice to unravel a disappearance mys¬
tery. The manager of a mine had con¬
stantly been threatened by “bad hats,”
and one day he disappeared.
. Divers went down, and there among
a Utter of old trjachinery they found
the body. The man had been bound
with wire, weighted, and dropped to
his death in the shaft.

Then He Shut Up
It is annoying when one goes to the
theater and has one’s view obstructed
by the hat of a woman seated In front.
Nobody has much sympathy for
those of the fair, sex who choose to
wear their largest tints while seeking
amusement; but. on the other hand,
there is the crusty old gpan who finds
fault with everything and pretends
that he Is unable to see the stage even
when the hat in front of him is of the
smallest variety.
One of these was at the theater
when, after fidgeting for some time,
he growled In a loud voice to the girl
in front of him: “Do you mind rei.iov

The girl turned and looked at him
quietly for a moment, and thep said,
calmly: “Very well, change seats; I
