LOOKS LIKE A. CHANCE FOR -
CHEAPER BINDER TWINE
The world's supply of hard fibre is
now in excess of current demands as a
result of excessive production result-
ing from high prices during the war
not accompanied bycorresponding con-
sumptions. The hard fibres, including
Manila and Yucatan hemp, are among
the few commodities which have been
so Iargely produced in excess of con-
sumption as to bring them. down .be-
low the prices obtaining at the termin-
ation of the war. Manila hemp is still
above the pre-war price for most
cades, but its future appears to de-
pend upon the disposal of a very large
surplus stock, which is still in the
bangs of holders in the places of
production, who are largely growers.
The immediate question - before the
trade now is that of finding new uses
for both sisal and Manila" hemp, which
can be relied upon to absorb the ex-.
cess. stock. Duringthe past year a
considerable quantity of . low-grade
Manila hemp was converted into
binder twine, but this only partially
relieved the situation.
TURKEY SUFFERS FROM

The high cost of living is badly..
-hampering the Turkish households -
especially with regard to wives.'
The sultan has reduced the size of
his harem; pashas who formerly were
rich also are retrenching in: this re 1•
spect, and, notwithstanding the I
Koran's authorization of four wives I
to -a man, the proportion: of unmet-
nied women' is said to be increasing
.as the men are finding more than one
wife too expensive to maintain:
Turkey's loss in population is not ;
beginningto be made up by polygamy,
according to the reports made to the
:Sheik Sulzik. These losses, it is esti-
mated, have resulted in there being
three women for every two men. In
the interior of the country, maidens"
are so numerous that well-meaning
natives have offered them as gifts to
American and other officers engaged"
One angle of the present situation i

MRS.
MRS. TOM THUMB FAMOUS
DWARF', IS DEAD AT • HER HOME
Countess Primo Magri, known to
the general public as Mrs. Tom Thumb
'
arid one of the best known Lill putians
in the world, died at 'her home in
`.Middleboro after a long illness. She -
was seventy-seven years of age and
'had traveled around the world several
times under the management of the
late P. T. Barnum. Countess Magri
wasthe daughter of James S. and
Hulda Bump and of Revolutionary
-tock. Count Magri, her husband,
survives. '
Countess Magri measured only 32
inches in height. She weighed only
.29 pounds. Born in Middleboro, she
outlived all the professional'associates,
of her generation. - Her first husband;
General Tom Thumb, had been ; dead
for thirty years. j Her sister,, also. a
dwarf, still smaller, died 35 years ago.
-The parents were of Targe stature
and numerous children bora to them,
with two exceptions, were of normal
size. At birth Lavina Warren, for
Buell was Mrs. Thumb's -maiden name,
Weighed six pounds and at the age
of one year was of normal size. For
the next nine years she_ grew slowly,
.aid then suddenly stopped altogether.
At seventy her hair was still jet
black, and fine black eyes sparkled
from a full, round, dimpled face, and
ter voice was always soft and sweet.
Accumulating a large fortune, Mrs.
Thumbs made,. her -farewell tour in
1912. Her seebnd husband, Count
Magri of Italy, is also a dwarf. He
became a naturalized citizen of the
;United States shortly after .his mar-
riage to Mrs. Thumb.

evidently, was one •of those wile be-

march triumphantly into Paris, and
accordingly had prepared, a goodly
assortment of busts of the all highest

trusted, they would be in demand for
setting up all over the City of Light.
The American girl laughs every time
that she thinks of her bust solemnly
keeping company, there in the 'gar-
ret, with the • eighty-one effigies of

NEW VARIETY OF FIELD BEAN
- PRODUCTIVE AND HARDY
While beans have long been grown
and appreciated in certain parts . of
Canada for table use, both in the green
state and in the form of the ripened
seed, this crop has not been as ex-
tensively cultivated as would ;be de-
sirable. One _of the principal difficul-
ties in the way of the more extended
production of ripe beans is the sens-
itiveness of the plants to: feast.
Ordinary" beans cannot be ripened in
any district where .the season is very
short. There are,however, some. sec-
tions of Canada where the cultivation
of -beans for the ripe seed -is almost -
unknown at present and where, never-
theless, - this crop -would likely prove
successful, provided suitable varieties
were tried:
With a view to extending theuse
of ripe beans. for human food, the
Dominion Gerealist is distributing this
winter, for the first time, samples of
a (,productive and very early -ripening
field bean. At this variety is brown
in color, and as it -does not perhaps
give as heavy 'a yield as some - of the
later -maturing white sorts, its culti-
vation is not recommended for dis-
tricts -where the more popular varie-
ties can be grown. Farmers in al
most any part of Canada where or-
dinary beans fail to to ripen would do
well 'to apply- for a sample of the
beans now offered. The variety in
question is a selection from, a sort• ob-
tained years ago from Norway. It is
being introduced underthename "Nor-
wegian,- -Ottawa 710." While. the
number of samples available is nec-
essarily limited, it will be -possible
to send. a : few, at, least, to almost
every district where they are likely
to be of 'use. Applications from
farmers . in localities where beans are
already 'recognized . as a • successful
crop will not be filled;, but request..
are invited from . farmers wile, hay
not yet found a variety which rip-
ens suficietely early.
Although these beans are of a brown
color, they are excellent when-cook-
ed,
hen - cook-
ed and there is no reason why they
-should not 'give complete. satisfaction
for table use, even though their color
be not fashionable. They are not re-
commended for use in. the green state.

BUSTS OF KAISER
Here is a new and entertaining story
of the Hun's plan to capture Paris
in 1914. It is told by- the daughter
of an American millionaire whose
name is as well known in England
as it is in -his own country. The
-damsel in question has quite decided
talent as a sculptor. A few months
before the war began she was study-
ing under a German sculptor who for
years had had a big atelier in Paris
and was so prominent a figure in the
art world there that most people had
forgotten that he really was a Teuton.
One day he asked the permission of
American.pupil to make a bust of
her. Considerably flattened, she duly
eat for him, and in the end he produc-
ed a study of her, that was undemiably
a work of real art. A bit later• the
girl returned to 'England, where, her
family makes ;its home, and soon af-
terwards war broke out.
Now for the amusing sequel. The
Teuton sculptor . stayed on - in Paris
almost up to . the battle of the Marne,
and then fled, his ultimate fate- being
unknown. Eventually, however, his
remises were searched, and when
this happened they discovered, in the'
garret of his atelier, the bust of the

EXPLORERS LEAVE FOR•THE
JUNGLE
In search of Apes • and a tribe of
Jungle Dwarfs,- Carveth Wells and
Marshall Mclvor leave Canada short-
ly for the Jungles of the Malay Archi-
pelago.
Darwin tells us that we - all , come
from apes, and it is a wonderful fact
that there exists to -day in the Malay
Jungles a tribe of -dwarfs called
Semang-; whoin many rests are not
so far advanced as - the Orango-
Outlang of Borneo, that immense ape
with long red hair.
The missing -link no longer is lids:-
sing.
isesing. The fossil remains of a crea-
ture intermediate between; the Ape and.
Man, known as the Pithecanthropok
Erectus, has actually been discovered-
in
iscoveredin the Jungles of Malay.
Polar explorations under the condi-
tions described by Steffannson is a
holiday compared with the life of - a
jungle - explorer.
Whereas infense cold and polar
bears' constitute the chief danger in
Arctic - exploration-, -death in a thous-
and different forms lurks in the etern-
al gloom of a tropical jungle._' Tigers
and - tarantulas, , scorpions and centi-
pedes, huge snakes like the thirty foot
Python, and the . twelve -foot Ham-
adryad or King Cobra, the most dread-
ed reptile in the world, because it is
the only one that attacks without pro-
voc`ation; crocodiles, panthers, rhin-
oceros and elephants are merely ex-
amples -of what' awaits the intruder
in a 'jungle.
. It is not generally known that in
India alone over 24,000 people are'
killed by snakes:, annually, .800 by ti-
gers, 400 by panthers and more than
100,000 head of cattle carried off , by
tigers.
But the most dreaded death in
Malay is from the tiny poisoned dart
shot from the blowpipe of the little
dwarfs that these explorers intend to
seek. .
Standing only four feet .six inches
in height, -these little jungle men move
with remarkable: agility through the
. densest jungle, being almost as much
at home in ,the trees as on the ground
where: they' sleep.
Mr. Carveth Wells has already spent
six years in the jungle exploring for.
the British -Government. Mr. Marshall
McIvor is the son of. G. C. Mclvor, of
Avonhurst, Sask., one of the oldest..
Canadian pioneers.
The men intend to cross the Malay,
Peninsula at its widest part, on bet,
re. riling to Canada via India and
Egypt, thus making a complete cif-
-mit of the world.
