Although it is i:.mpossible for officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to fore- cast the result of the investigation, they expressed the opinion that it was quite certain a valuable amount of da- ta would be obtained which would be of groat benefit to stock breeders. For example, it was said, it may be found that certain breeds of cattle are immmune from the wart disease, In this' connection it was recalled that the work of the Foot and Mouth Con. mission in India in 1912 was rendered abortive by the discovery that Indian cattle were not subject to the disease.

Parcel Lots on Walks of Hatton Garden. Go into Hatton Garden any time be- tween 10 and 4, except Saturdays and. Sundays, and you will meet men. carrying in the aggregate anything from half a million to a million pounds' worth of diamonds, says a London writer. These men are dealers in diamonds• and the'r market is provided by the doorways and pavements of H.atten Garden and another thoroughfare,. Charles street, which runs at right angles to it and parallel with Holborn, London. Looking at many .of the mend you would not think they were worth a. dime. Nearly all are Russians, Many have Iong, shaggy b=eards and longer and shabby overcoats. Yet in honesty they must contribute to the income tax. They buy and sell parcels of dia- monds, loose diamonds wrapped in white tissue paper and of a wondrous lustre. One habitue never has less than $250,000 wort:h in his pockets. Business' is conducted on simple lines. One man approaches another. They stand an the curb or in a door- way and a parcel of gems is exchang- ed for a roll of bank notes. That is all. No questions, no entries, no books. A parcel niay change hands three er four times a day, with a big profit on each transaction. Interesting "Garden" Market. Dealers in "the Garden," as they call it, trust one another implicitly in business. It would be useless for one to ask another for the loan of $00. That is not business. But ask for a parcel of $50,000 worth of diamonds for a probable custoiner, and it is handed over readily enough. Stolendiamonds find their way into the Garden, but not by direct means. They go through -so many hands that by the time they reach the Garden the purchase is an ordinary trade trans- action, the diamonds cannot be identi- fied, and it is almost impossible to trace them back to the thief • The dealers are experts. From hun dreds of stones they readily, pick` out those cut in Amsterdam. The Dutch cutters are the best in the world. Light yellow (or Cape) diamonds can be made into bluish -white stones like unto the finest Kimberley or Bra- zilian gems by the mere process of dipping them in hot water tinged• with blue. Thus treated, they will keep their false face for a long time. But do not try to deceive the street deal- ers. They know. The majority of these street mer- chants are teetotallers, accomplished chess players and fond of a gamble. At the end of the day they ,deposit their precious diamonds and notes in safe custody and go to their unpre- tentiors-looking homes. Grasses Help Bind Sifting;._ • Sands. • • That Holland has been able to with- stand.tlie waters of the North Sea end hold the lands laboriously wrested from it is due largely to a defense af- forded by grasses, whcee deep and widely penetrating roots ,bind the sand together in 0 network of strong fibres, defying the encroachment of the waves. These grasses, whose creeping rooi•s- are really underground stems, also do much useful work along the Atlantic. seacoast, holding the `soil in place and preventing valuable tracts from literal destruction. On Cape Cod ,since very early days they have been systemati- cally planted for protective purposes. 'The principal soil -binding grass na- tive to Cape Cod teed all the coast. from Massachusetts to Maryland is called "marram" South of Maryland it is replaced by "bitter panic" grass, which extends to Florida and around to the gulf of Mexico. Others, native to the South, are "creeping panic" and. "St. Angustine grass. The town and harbor of Province- town, on Cape Cod, owe their preser- vation to enarram. At one time Prov- • incetown had.,_• ' beach grass commit- tee, clothed with power to • enter any man's landed property, sunnier or winter, and Plant mari'am if the sand was tufcovered or movable. Sand- storms, once the terror of the town, were .thus entirely prevented. Marram has been introduced along the California coast to bind sand dunes and prevelit them from overrunning farm land, . It is otherwise known. as the "sand reef," and Its roots often attain a length of twenty-five or thirty feet, beeolniifg closely interwoven, so as to fofin.:a sort of mat. These roots make good ropes, and in Europe coarse mats are woven 'of them for household use.
