A giraffe immediately after its birth measures six feet from its hoofs to the top of its head. Telephone troubles in ,the tropics are largely due to the Wires 'becoming covered with air plants. The Pacific ocean is said to be more favorable for long distance wireless transmission than the Atlantic. Malaria is common in India, and one-sixth of the world’s supply of quinine is consumed in that country. Vesta coal mine No. 4 of California, Pa., which has been.worked for ten years, has produced in that time 14,000,000 tons of coal.

A parasite which destroys the dreaded San Jose scale has been discovered, and is now being used in Pennsylvania, where It has been highly successful in combating the ravages of the pest which has done such to American fruit and nut trees. The parasite Is the Chalcld fly, which comes from the same part of China from which the San Jose scale first came. There the Chalcld fly has effectively checked the scale.

Arctic explorers often report the discovery or flowers blooming In Icebergs. The explanation of this is as follows: It appears that some animals carry on their feet a growth of. moss, which is deposited on the ice while it is attached to the mainland in polar regions. In time this decays and forms a shallow soil in which the seed of buttercups and dandelions often find a lodging, borne - by currents of, wind that doubtless caught them up in some southern clime. These take root and bloom when the great gleaming iceberg floats out to sea, and . is carried southward, where the soft winds melt the surface and give the plants the moisture they need. . . j
