HOW COCOANUTS GROW.
.And How the Palm Grows Where
None Grew Before.
Why do cocoanuts have " eyes?"
This, say the naturalists, is the rea-
son : Cocoanuts generally grow at
the edge of seas or rivers, and a good
many of the nuts as they become ripe
fall into the water. The nuts are
covered with a thick husk, which has
a waterproof covering, so that they
will float. As they float, the three
eyes, which are all at one end of the
'nut, are always on top.
Once in the water, nature goes to
work. From one of the eyes there
comes a shoot that sends forth broad
leaves that act as sails. The wind
catches these sails and wafts the
cocoanut on a journey that may be
many miles long. As it sails, the
Wither two eyes send out roots, which
'at first groin among the fibres of the
woody husk.
In time the cocoanut is swept on an-
other shore, perhaps on another is-
land. The roots embed themselves in
the soft earth, the sail becomes the
trunk, and very shortly a thrifty co-
coanut palm_is growing where none
grew before.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
What is an insect ? The dictionary
tells us it is " a small flying or chawl-
ing nrximal.'
What an interesting small flying
animal, then, is the grasshopper ! It
is credited with the power to fly 1;000
miles before the wind and spring one
hundred times its own Iength.
Itis near relative, the cricket, is an-
other extraordinary creature. By an
action of the wings the male section
of this family make their well-known
chirping noise, which is said to be
tstinguishable a mile distant..
But Mrs. Cricket scores over her
husband, for she possesses ears on her
forelegs !

also the peeled, crisp cucumber; but-

chicken, then lay the tomato rings on

the mayonnaise on the tomato and last
the slice' of brown bread. This has
the effect of a club sandwich. It
should be placed on a very large

AN IMPERIAL MEMORIAL
Appeal to the British Public for As-
sistance.
Peace is not yet yet in sight, but
it is not too soon to prepare to deal
with certain problems which will arise
on its conclusion and directly affect
the welfare of those who have fought
for us. When peace does come one
of the first thoughts of a grateful peo-
ple will be as to some Memorial to
its heroes, to those who have fallen
and to those who survive.
The eucleus of such a Memorial al-
ready exists in the Veterans' Club,
Hand Court, High Holborn, London, a
Club which is very clear to the hearts
of many now fighting in the trenches
or keeping watch upon the seas. The
original Club was opened five years
ago to fill the want often expressed
by the ex -service man, of a place
where he could meet old comrades in
better and brighter surroundings than
a public house, or such other resorts
as were within his means,. a place
where he could get a bed, write his
letters, and obtain help or advice, es-
pecially with regard to employment.
As to this latter matter the Veterans'

HUNS BEMOAN BUTCHERY.
German Soldiers Describe Verdun as
a Hell -Hole.
H. Warner Allen, special represen-
tative of the British press with the
French army, sends some extracts
from letters written by German sol-
diers before Verdun and taken from
their pockets when the writers were
captured.
From a letter written by Lieut.
ElliUen, of the 6th Reserve Infantry
Regiment :-
" April 3. -You can form some idea
of our position from the fact that all
our officers have been renewed. Loss-
es of the regiment are high, for its
position on the plateau of Vaux is
simply disgusting. Our battalions
relieve one another, but our positions
when in reserve or resting receive as
many shells as the first line."
From a letter dated April 11, Whit-
ten by a private soldier named Shro-
der, of the 80th Infantry Regiment :-
" We are absolutely in a hell -hole
here. The artillery fires night and
day. If only this wretched war would
come to an end. No reasonable man
can justify such a butchery of men.
Though we have not been long in the
firing line, we have all had enough of
it and are looking for peace. We
should like to send to the front all
these gentlemen who caused the' war
and who profit from it."
MEN RE -MADE FOR WAR.
Two Instances of Mechanical Surgery
Are Told.
One of the results of' the war has
been the enormously improved method
in the manufacture of mechanical
limbs, both in England and in France
and Germany.
According to Surgeon -Major Gam-
per of the Swiss army, it is a fact that
the Germans have devised remarkably
ingenious arrangements for patching
up disabled and crippled men. Lec-
turing at Bulach on cases that had
actually come under his personal
notice in Germany, Surgeon -Major
Gamper declares that he saw such
wonderful artificial legs of German in-
vention that soldiers fitted with them
were able to rejoin the cavalry for
active service,
They sat on their horses as well and
as easily as if they still possessed a
sound pair of legs and could do as
quickly, smartly and thoroughly any
feat required of a perfectly able-
bodied man.
A well-known case in England is
that of Lord Lucas, who was wounded
. early in the war in Flanders, with
the result that he lost a leg. An
artificial limb was fitted so success-
fully that Lord Lucas was able to
transfer his services to the Royal
Flying Corps and is now serving with
that branch of the service as a fully
qualified pilot somewhere in Egypt.

SIGNALING AMONG ANCIENTS -
Various Methods Were Employed to
Transmit Messages.
Considering the amount of thought
and attention bestowed on the art of
war by the ancients, it is strange that
so little information regarding the
methods of transmitting orders among
their armies and fleets should have
filtered down to modern times. For,
as the Greek historian, Polybius, who
lived in the second century, B.C., very

DIAMONDS' JUBILEE NEAR.
South African Celebration Is Due
Next Year.
South African diamonds upon which
an export duty is being placed to help
pay for the war, will soon have their
jubilee celebration.
The first of these diamonds was
found, and used for a plaything, in
1867 by the children of a Boer named
Jacobs, who owned a farm near the
Orange River. It passed through
various vicissitudes, fell into the
hands of an Irishman named O'Reilly,
and was filially identified in the same
year by Dr. Atherstone, an English
scientist, who happened to be staying
at Grahamstown.
So a movement is on foot among
the few survivors of the old ICimber-
ley� diggers to celebrate the jubilee of
what has developed into an important
South African industry, either lei 1917
e 1 " after the war," if peace has not
'then returned.
