National Mauseum Collection. Boy Scouts are among the chief beneficiaries of the recent new ar- rangement at the National Museum, whereby all the birds, mammals, in- sects, etc., of the District and of this immediate region are gathered into one collection for easy comparison and study. Rooms 44 and 47 on the main floor havé been set aside for this’ purpose. The large number of scouts who visit this exhibit every week 1s testlmony to the wisdom of the museum management in under- taking such an arrangement. Scouts he merit badge in bird study have there a most excellent oppor- tunity to become acquainted with all the birds that frequent this section. Scouts from other towns would turn | green with envy it they could know the advantage that fall to the boys of the capital city, New Merit Bndges.

Themeaningof words and sentences was conveyed by the aid of pictures called hieroglyphics, specimens of which may be seen on Cleopatra’s Needle, onthe Thames Embankment, London. The Egyptians first wrote on stone, but they soon discovered that a good substance on which to write could be made from a plant growing on the banks of the Nile. This plant was the papyrus(fromwhich comes our word ‘paper’). They would scratch the letters on with a pointed stick or write them with an ink made from gall-nuts and sulphate. The art of writing has progressed since Tux- ankh Amen’s days, however.
