:
The Christmas Eve bath was quite a tradition in Finland be
fore the advent of modern plumbing.
, The oldtime Finnish bath-room was usually a three-room hut;
o i one room was used for steaming and scrubbing, one for rubbing,
; I and one for dressing.
<>
The hut was warmed by a stone
oven, heated for hours before the
scheduled bath, and the "bath
room" was really steaming. After
bathing came the rub-down and
the switching of the body with
birch twigs to Increase the circula
tion, topped off by a roll in the
snow, supposedly to whet the ap
petite for Christmas Eve supper.
For supper there was usually
stockfish and prune tarts to be en
joyed, plus the traditional barley
porridge in which cream and
sugar and almonds were mixed.
After supper the boys and men
matched their strength: while the
girls—garbed in the men's work
clothes—blackened their faces and
stole away to visit other homes in
cognito and "see Christmas." The
girls never spoke nor accepted
food, but went from house to house
merely to watch the festivities.
And when the evening's festivi
ties were over, the smaller chil
dren made their beds in the clean
straw spread on the floor in com
memoration of the Christ Child.

out to kill that ancient symbol of
peacemaking and love, the Christ
mas mistletoe.
The unusual battle front is Aus
tralia where too many valuable
trees each year have been receiv
ing the kiss of death from the
harmless looking shrub. Despite
mistletoe's popular reputation as
the Yultetlde promoter of romance,
it is a public-enemy parasite in the
woodlands, killing off the trees
that play it host.
Australian foresters have finally
resorted to the flame-thrower as a
quick executioner for the plant and
are using radio-active tracers,
furnished by the U. S. atomic en

mistletoe saps the water and min

Mercury is the nearest of the
major planets. Its distance varies
from 28,600.000 miles to 43,400,000
miles, averaging 36,000,000 miles.
(The mean distance of the earth is j
about 93,000,000 miles.) However, j
in 1949 Dr. Walter Baade, of the
Mt. Wilson observatory, discovered |
a minor planet, believed to be less j
than a mile in diameter, which ap- j
proaches within 17,000.000 miles of |
the sun. Its greatest distance Is
about 180,000,000 miles, greater than
that of Mars. The new little planet
has been named Icarus, after the
boy in mythology who flew too close
to the sun.
