Twelve varieties are issued, among which strawberry, it is stated -.largely predominates. The soft fruit crop of 1914 was al- ready on the market when the war began, and the jam manufacturers had to rely entirely on , apple and stone fruit crops to meet the. Gov- ernment contracts. Hence the "plum and apple" of , war notoriety. In 1916 Australia, New Zealand and South .Africa implied 41,000,000 pounds of 'tank ,and it was thus pos- sible to supply - fresh fruit jam at seasons when it could not be obtained in* Britain. The daily ration at the front in- cludes three ounces of cheese. To en- able this issue to be made "the army contract department bad, up to the beginning of this year, purchased 167,000,000 pounds of cheese, and be- tween 1,000, 000 pounds and. 2,000,000 pounds is being sent every week to the aimy in France alone.

The density of these bodies and the great size of some of thein are held to constitute arguments in favor of the view that they most have been ejectedfrom some massive body it. space such as the sunor a star. With reference to the peculiar meteorites that fell some years ago at Brenham, Kansas, it may be inferred from their composition, one authority has suggested, from what part of the heavenly body that ejected them they came. The heavy metallic meteorites called siderlites may plausibly be supposed to have eom,e often from the deeper parts of a star, the Light sto y ones, called aerolites, from the superffcial layers; andthe rare "pall:.sites,' -like the Brenham meteorites, which are latch. - mediate in 1composition, from the transitional zone between the outer crtAt and the dense interior nucleus. • -(boon. f • Cotton grows best in low coastal land in tropical latitudes.
