TWO MILLION POUNDS OF JAM
WEEKLY
Neary two million pounds of jam
in papier-mache containers is sent to
France every week. 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.
More than 500,000 pounds of tea is
sent weekly to the army in France.

Meteor>r. :Stones -
There has always been more or letss
speculation as'to the origin of tic; me-
teoric stones and irons that occasion-
ally fall from the sk'y.. 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.
