the bed so as to form a coverlid for the person who lies upon the inflated bed. When the bed is collapsed it can be folded in such a manner as to form a knapsack, and is provided with straps to enable it to be worn as such when on the march.

To the great abundance of food is owing the great increase in population. Diodorus Siculus, who traveled in Egypt nineteen centuries since, states that to bring up a child to maturity did not cost more than 20 drachmas, about 3 dollars. I
