Manten, N. C. A a fitting tribute to the first English settlement in this country (on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, in the year 1587, under the sponsorship of Sir Walter Raleigh), a series of celebrations was held on the island this summer. The Idea is to commemorate the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the colony. On August 17 was observed the three hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birthday of Virginia Dare, the first child born of English parents in America.

This was In July, 1387. Colony Disappears. On August 27, 1587, Gov. John While, who headed the expedition, bade farewell to his companions and to his granddaughter, Virginia Dare, and sailed to England for supplies. Upon his return four years later, the colony nine-day-ol- d had completely disappeared, the only traces left being a few broken pieces of armor and the word "Croatoan carved on a tree. What happened to Sir Walter Raleighs lost colony" is a mystery which for centuries has baffled historians and legends Many explanations have risen. Did the colonists Intermarry with the Indians and are their descendants living In North Carolina today Was the colony exterminated Were the setby the Spaniards tlers massacred by the Indians No one knows for sure. Governor White himself told the story of his return to the island in 1591. Upon this story are based all accounts of what happened. "We returned," ho said, "round about the north point of the island untd we came to the place where I left our colony. "In all this way. we saw in the sand the print of the savage's feet of two or three sorts trodden in the night, and as we entered upon the sandy banks, upon tree, the very brow thereof, were curiously carved these fair Roman letters, C.

But there was no need, for just then the stranger stepped on a stick and it broke with a snap. Jimmy Skunk turned about Of course Peter expected to see Jimmy run as fast as ever he could. "Jimmy seldom hurries, but he will this time," thought Peter. But Peter was wrong. Jimmy did nothing of the kind. For a minute he just stared and stared. The big black stranger kept right on coming Then, instead of running, Jimmy went forward to meet him. Yes, sir. Jimmy Skunk just marched straight toward the stranger with his head and tail held high. The big black stranger stopped and eyed Jimmy a bit doubtfully. Then he stood up on his hmd legs and he was as tall as Farmer Browns boy. This made Jimmy stop for a minute. Never had he seen one but any Farmer Brown's boy himself who could stand like that. But it wouldn't do to let this stranger think that just because he was big and had cruel looking claws he could scare everj body, and so Jimmy once more m.nched forward You know he really has a great deal of confidence in that httle bag of scent he always The stranger carries with him. growled. Jimmy kept right on. Then what do you think happened? Why that great, big stranger began to back away! Peter Rabbit could hardly believe his own eyes.

The main problem seems to be how to get the horse to stand still and to arrange for the RELATIVE lightning. Anyhow, John F.

An old horse of his, he said, was floored by a heavy bolt and struggled to his feet able to hear as well as a colt.

' relt-ase- cerarented yond that, any more water causes a drip. The amount of water vapor that air can take up depends on temperature. The warmer the air, the more vapor it can hold; the greater will be the quantity of water vapor needed to saturate it. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor actually in the air, compared to the amount of water vapor that would be needed for saturation. Air that is fully saturated, and that can take up no more vapor without forming a drip or a mist, is said to be 100 per cent humidified. The relative humidity of a body of air depends on the temperature of the air. Consider a room in which the air at a temperature of 40 degrees contains a certain quantity of water vapor. If the temperature of theair is then raised to, say, 60 or i0 degrees, with no more water vapor added, the relative humidity will be less, for at the higher temperature. the air has a greater capacity for absorbing water. Now suppose that the air in a room is at 70 degrees, and contains a quantity of water vapor, but not enough for saturation. Coming into contact with cold window glass, the air will be chilled and will lose its capacity to hold water vapor. The excess above the relative of 100 per cent, whicn is humidity saturation, be squeezed out, so to speak.
