NEW VALUABLE FOOD PLANTS

Recently Brought From Peru by Men* bers of the Yale geographic Expedition. ----- -.—=== ' <1 ■ ■ T - — A new and important breakfast food plant has been fetched from Peru by file Yale geographic expedition. It yields a product" declared to be quite equal to oatmeal. The plant in queslion is a cultivated pigweed. ami yn- + rfvntly was one of the two principal grain producing erbps'* of the Incas. Today |n Peru it is chiefly used for i the iiianufHcture of ‘•chi<ha." a native l beer. From a valley high up in the ! Peruvian Andes the expedition obtained ; a D ew * n d remarkable wild relative of the tomato. It has an apple-like flavor, and Is the fruit of a desert plant, found in company with eaq/i and other such water-starved Vegetable species. The plant is a vine, which, say the experts, may he trained over arbors. It may be crossed with our own tomatoes for the production of vnfieries with "special 7 edible virtues. Another remarkable acquisition was a kind of tomato that grows on a„tree. - It is only a little tree, four or five feet high, wjth branches that ! spretld horizontally, giving it a flat- ! topped effect. The tomatoes are egg I shaped, and borne in pendant clusters ' from near the ends of the branches. | Yet another prize, deemed valuable for introduction into the United States, was the “lucurul” which can hardly be called a... discovery inasmuch as it has long bptjn a popular l fruit in Peru. It has rich, mealy , flesh, somewhaF teseufld+ftg -in texture 1 and flavor a cooked sweet potato, ami is hardy enough to be grown tn FlorI ida or in southern California.

HAD REGULAR SINGING TIME

Thoreay’s Interesting Account of the Chanting of Vespers by a-Whip-poorwill Chorus. What a pleasure it would be to know The woods and the wood folk as Thoreau d)d. In “Walden,” he tells us that “regularly at half-past seven. In one part of the summer, after the evening train had gone by, the whippoorwills chanted their vespers for half an hour, sitting on a stump by my door, or upon the ridgepole of the house. They would begin to sing almost with as much precision as a clock, within five minutes of a particular time, referred to tile setting of the sun. every evening. I had a rare opportunity to become acquainted with their habits. Sometimes I heard four or five at once in different parts of the wood, by accident one a bar behind another, and so near me that -I distinguished not only the duck lifter each note, but often tfiat singular buzzing sound like a fly in a spider’s web. only proportton•aily louder. - Sometimes one would Circle round ami round in the woods S few sept distant as if tethered by a string, when probably I was near its ■eggs. They sang at intervals throughout the night, and were again as musical as ever just before and about dawn.”

Moving Picture Expenses.

The moving picture industry takes In millions of nickels daily, but a hlg part goes out for salaries, for “stars” ami for needless expenses. Quite recently a very much excited individual stopping at one of the big hotels in New York city called up Los Angeles, Cal., 911 the long distance telephone many times daily and rolled up a weekly bill of $3,000 for this item alone. “Who Is he?” queried a bystander, to whom the hotel proprietor related the story. “One of the new oil millionaires?” “No,” was the repiy, “he is a movIng picture director. That Is just a sample of the high cost of turning out moving pictures today.”—Wall Street Journal.

Flu Again Ravages London.

Influenza has broken out again - in London, making a third wave in less' than a year. The cases that are complicated by pneumonia, tend to follow the usual course common in the years before the war. This is in contrast with the rapidly fatal type characterizing the summer and autumn epidemics. and suggests a distinct decrease in virulence. Of those attacked previously very few have been again infected. Some immunity seems to have been established, for in most easels of reinfection there ate only vague rheumatic pains and malaise lasting a few d'hys.

The street ear was crowded, which wasn’t unusual. A man carrying a baby boy pushed his way inside to a strap. The swinging piece of worn leather caught the baby’s eye. and he reached for it. and missed. It swung again, and the baby caught it tightly. The crowd laughed, and was glad it had something to laugh about. “That’s it. son.” said the father “Might as well learn young. You'll have use for that it yon stay aroupd this town long.”

Country's Lumber Production.

A total lumber production of 32.760000.000 feet is the estimated cut for the year 1918 on the basis of partial returns received by the forest service of the United States Department of Agriculture from 713 sawnjllls. each of which cut 5,OOO.Oi)0 or more feet in the years 1917 or 1918. In 1917 the total production amounted to 36.000.000.000 feet. The decrease In 1918 is not confined to any one region but is genehd. It ,is largest in the southern ?*nd eastern states and least U» the western states.

Start Education Early.

MAKE USE OF PRINTER’S INK

Federal Official Urges Necessity of Campaign of Advertising to Attract Attention of Consumers. “Advertise youx business/! I owe all iiy suo exs to printer's Ink.” This was the language of P. T. Barnum. and that he was it conspicuous uiccesk is general Ij’ admitted. Something of the same sort seems t« lune -truck Washington. Roger W Babson, director of education service. labor department, has issued a statement urging a campaign of advertising saying In part: "Prosperity ultimately depends upon the consumer. If there is not a market for goods They w ill not -be ( produced. . . . ■Only by advertising can buvliig power be stimulated, but advertising does stimulate tmying power and brings a very direct return to the man who adIt is sound advice. It Is also timely. Advertising is tlim xdiief auxiliary in ' trade. It is not the road to success, hut success Itself. Advertising Is jp, the business man what machinery is to the mechanic. How can a man know whqt you want unless you ask for It. or what you have to sell unless you advertise It? “My advice to the merchant.” says .Mr. P.ibson, “is this: For your own Interest uml for the good of the country, increase the advertising appropriation you have made for this year. If it is $20,000. make it $25,000; make it more if you can.” And all must Tear in tiiifid that the prosperity of the country means the prosperity- of the individual. —New York Telegram.

FORCED TO FINE DOG HERO

But New York Justice Took Into Consideration Animal’s Brave Deed in the Past. Two medals bestowed for bravery*, hung from the collar of Jim. a -GreatDane. when he appeared in the West side court the other day. charged with having been unmuzzled in public, says the New York World. Patrolman Joseph B. Ward, attached to the health department, said he had seen Jim in a ear without a muzzle. Jim wotild not let the policeman come near when an attempt to serve the summops was made, Ward testified. Harry Gilpin, a druggist, told the magistrate about Jim’s heroism. Mr. Gilpin ami his daughter were asleep in their house one night in 191 G, when I a fire started. Jim was running up ami down outside when the firemen arrived. He failed to make the firemen or the crowd understand what-the trouble was. So he darted into the smoke and fire and dragged out first Mr. Gilpin and then MisS Gilpin, both overcome. For this Jim received the Spiers medal that year and Miss Gilpin gave him another. Recently the Alps club of Riverdale honored him. “A dog that is as brave as you are deserves consideration,” Magistrate Nolan said, “but you weren’t muzzled and you resisted the officer. Fine sl.” Jim carried the bill in his mouth to the clerk of the qourt and took the receipt back to Mr. Gilpin.

Submarine Signals.

During the war. as is well known, submarine sound-signaling made great strides. In Schiffbau an account Is given of a device employed in Germany. In this device the receiver is secured to the outer layer of the ship's hull from inside and Is filled with water. the liquid being in contact with the outer plating of the vessel. The essential point in this device appears to be that the means for producing the sound are placed externally- on the wall of the liquid tank, whereas in most cases the Sounding device J httHFrto li&bn arranged inside the tank or receiver. Another special feature is an automatic arrangement for maintaining constant, or adjusting, the level of the water, which can" be manipulated externally. —Scientific American. ,

Wrong Kind of Clothes.

Little tragedies occur to the men who have to chronicle the larger ones. On Thursday evening our “special correspondent” (arrayed in a hat and the best morning costume) arji/ed to find his mission meant the late train to Whitehaven and a plunge into a burning mine. He telephoned at once for the proper clothes, hut the message must have miscarried in the ear of the careful maid, who packed up a valise of dress clothes and shirts for the man who was to go down the mine.—London Chronicle.

Got It Bad.

The young man about town had just been accepted by “the one girl In the world,” who, nevertheless, was a member of a forty-strong beauty chorus.' “So you think you love her?”.snrtled his father. “I know I love her!” swore the infatuated youth. _ .“Are you sure you love her as much as you think you do?” “I'm sure of more than that- I love her as much as she thinks I do!”

Making Success.

Make today successful. % Bend your energies 'toward accomplishing something within the next 24 hours whichyou , can think of with satisfaction when you put your head on your pillow at night Enough successful days make a life success; and there is no other way" of doing It —Giri’s Companion.

ARE FLEMING AND WALLOON

People of Belgium of Both Races, the Finings Being Slightly lnthe Majority. The kingdom of Belgium dates from 1830, when the . seven Catholic provinces revolted from the distasteful union with the kingdom of The Netherlands, Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor writes in a communication to the NathmaH Geographical society. A conference of the great powers in 1831 determined the boundaries between the two countries,. Though obliged by circumstances to recognize Belgian independence, the copfeyence did not sympathize with the authors of the revolution. In consequence the boundary line was traced to the disadvantage of the new nation. It Is alleged. The Dutch were assigned peoples tdst of the Meuse, who were strongly pro-Belglan, and were granted both sides of the Scheldt, thus’ cutting off approach to the sea by the great port of Antwerp. , Belgium is made up of Flemings and Walloons, with the former In the majority. In 1910, of the 7,751,000 Belgians, there were 3,221.000 who spoke only Flemish, 2,833.000 who spoke French (spoken by Walloons) and 871,000 who spoke both languages. The Flemish provinces are bilingual. Germany tried to divide the Flemings and the Walloons during the great war, but the descendants of the warriors who fought against Caesar refused to be divided. The ancient Belgae occupied all Gaul north of the Seine and west of the Rhine-, but today it covers only 11,373 square miles.

ARE NOT REALLY LOCUSTS

Unwelcome . Visitors Expected This Year Periodical Cicadas, According to Wisconsin Entomologist. Be scientific —call the “17-year locust” by its right name, the periodical cicada, and no one will worry about tt, II; F. Wilson, entomologist at the Wisconsin experiment station. Cicadas are common insects, but locusts are reminders of the scourge of locusts in biblical days and the grasshoppers. or true locusts, of the early .days in the southwest. Even the orchard-man’s fear, of the effect of this particular cicada is not very well founded, judging from the Information entomologists have about the insect, for other members of the tribe appear each year and injure the shade and orchard trees in exactly the same way. The injury Is the result of the cicada’s laying eggs in the twigs of trees. From the eggs the larvae of the insect hatch. The twig enlarges at that point, growth is Interrupted and sooner or later the twig rots and breaks off. The only treatment is to prune off the parts affected. No preventive methods are considered necessary by either horticulturists or entomologists at the station. Charts of the different broods of the so-called locusts have been prepared by entomologists of the United States department of agriculture, says Mr. Wilson, and they show that the brood expected this year is No. 10. Seventeen years ago it was reported in Wisconsin only in Dane county. The last brood appeared in 1915 and was quit® generallj- scattered over the state.

Made in Germany.

Dr. Arthur Davis, who used to be the kaiser’s dentist, is authority for the statement that the crown prince Is the most egotistical person he ever met. As an instance of his conceit the dentist recounts an occurrence in one of the palatial dugouts at the front where captured champagne had been flowing freely for some time. “Your highness,” finally asked a young officer, “who is the greatest of all German generals?” "I am,” promptly retorted the crown prince. “True, of course,” said the brother officer, “but how could you really prove It?” “I don’t have to,” retorted the crown prince. “I merely say lt„ and It is so!"—Minneapolis Tribune.

Convincing.

J. A. Strahan, the eminent professor of jurisprudence, tells in his reminiscences several good law stories. One of the best concerns a certain chancery judge who (writes Mr. Strahan) was so notorious for the brevity of his notes of evidence that, in a case which appeared to make an appeal probable, the parties agreed to have a shorthand note of it. Later, the court of appeal, puzzled by his decision against the plaintiff, whose uncontradicted evidence seemed convincing, sent for tjie judge’s note hoping it would enlighten them. It did. It consisted of a vigorous drawing of an oily-faced, evil-looking person. Above was written The Plaintiff, and below it And a liar.— Pearson’s Weekly.

His Consideration.

“Now, gents,” with elaborate sarcasm said the proprietor of the Right Place store in Petunia, addressing the prominent and influential loafers that Infested his emporium, “I have placed a batch of comfortable pine boxes around on the shady side of the store, where you can set and spit and whittle and cuss the government and argue about nothing from morning till night, and not be disturbed by customers trying to edge around you to buy' something of talk ovtr a little private business with me without having your snouts stuck Into it.” —Kansas City -Star. ..
