Experiments were begun at the Cen- tral Experimentel Farm, Ottawa, in 1907 to coMpare seed of the saute varieties of potatoes from varioua eourcee in order to learn whether PO- tatoee were better for seed from one part ot Canada then from another. The results were very striking the first year the experiment was tried, and the results each year since have shown more and more the great im- portatsce of planting seed ot strong vitality and free from disease. The yield ot potatoes had been good at Ottawa up to the year 1906 from home grown seed, but in that year and the two succeeding ones the yields were poor owing to unfavorable weather conditiona, Since 1908 Ottawa seed has shown great inferiority to that grown in seem other parts of Canada. Seed from Nova Sdatia yielded from two to five *times ai much as Ottawa Ets,ed in 1906, 1907 and 1908, and Saskatchewan seed, in eater years, gave differences 3ust as gfeat. Following are some of the results obtained: Yields of Green Mountain Potatoes from sources, in 1917, grown side hy side at Ottawa; Northern Ontario seed, 400 bushels or acre; New Brunswick seed, 341 bushels per acre; Ottawa see& S5 bushels per acre. Average yields of eleven varieties at Ottawa: Saskatchewan seed, US bushels per aere; Ottawa seed, 96 bushels per acre. Seed from other parts of Canada will give just ae striking differences in results as the aboye. Wherever potatoes greet vigorous- ly, as a rale, until the tops alas cut down by frost in the autumn, there will good seed potatoes be .obtained, provided they are free trom disease. Such scources of seed canebe found in all the provinces of Canada where the days and nights during the grow- ing season are relatiVely cool, and et ere there is usually a good supply of moisture in the soil.

A curious transformation has been wrought in' the Island of Elba, in the Mediterranean off the Italian coast. MIA's pripciple title to fame has been the tact that it was the residence of Napoleon Bonaparte after his abdica- tion of Emperbr of France in 1814. It a as front Mita that Bonaparte escaped itt February„e815, landed in France, rallied an arney and began the attempt, to recoup his fortunes which consti- tuted the activities of the , famous "hundred days," culminating in last- ing defeat at Watreloo. The second deposition of the Emperor was follow- ed by exile to St. Helena, where he remained until his aeath. Elba now comes into notice because of the sud- den development of the iron nines on the island. R has long been known that Elba had huge deposits of meter- als, including Iron ore of high grade, but comparatively little hed been done in exploiting this natural wealth. Difficulty in getting iron from other sources has led to mining on .a large scale and to the erection of blast °fur- naces and other works. The island has become a busy place, and with the furnaces in operation and in view from the mainland the spectacle is interesting. The people are hav- ing a fresh access of prosperity, and come are slyly expressing the hope that the Kaiser may be dethroned and sent there, as was Napoleon more than. a hundred years ago. Should thia prove to be the case Itis safe to as- sume that such a watch would be kept as to prevent Wileelm. from making his escape as easily as Napoleon. - Troy Times. • -• Warts on the hands is a disfigure- ment that troubles many ladies.

And so scholars have proposed "ar- origines" or "treeborn," and yet others "aberrinies," or "nomads." As mie Writer has put it, the most that can be said is that, if not a general term, "aborigines" may be the name of an Italian stook, about whom the ancient knew no more than ourselves. And yet there is, after all, some- thing specially appropriate in the fact that the origin of the word ehould be Unknown, beeause that is the first pre- requisite of the aborigine. lnaeed, the moment his origin is known, he ceases to be an aborigine. And It is this fact, no doubt, which, has Al- ways rendered him such an attractive figure in history and in fiction, Eydn the black man of the Australian bush, whose annale, as far as can be ascer- tained, coe tabs nothing of the great deeds of the North American Iudian, Is not without his honored piaee in story. Then, of course, when it comes to the North American Indian, the doors of one of the greatest hunting grounds of romance and hign adventure Which history affords is immediately thrown open. In the company of such master guides as James Fenimore Cooper and 'Captain Mayne Reid, one takes the trail as easily end naturally as ever aid a Hawk Eye, or one of elontealm's Indians. And so every aboriginal peo- ple, almost has its special chronicler. One of the great difficulties about aborigines is to be certain fleet they are „eborigines.

They were, it lie true, the people that the great old Dutch navigator Tasman found the when, on the 13th of December, 1642, he cast anchor off a "high mountalu- ous country," to which he gave the name of Staten Landt.

Experiments to Determine How They Meet Needs. , Few if any of those who have read and understood the warninge in the news- papers as to the shortage of cereal and sugar can aave failed to be impressed by their sinister significance. The facts are not new and have been well- known to scientific and government authorities for the last year or more. But few if any people fully realize that unless a miracle happens a shortage of butter and animal fats will grow out of this scarcity of sugar and grain. Hence Professor W. D. Halliburton of London, the celebrated writer on foods, has ren- dered a service to society by publishing the facts .In the Journat or Physiology in a form so clear and cogent that any- body can grasp them with ease. In the first place, sugar and grain are necessivy footle for pigs and cows, ani- mals that supply a great deal of edible fat. Butter is a stable of human diet, and it is not easy to economize in the direction ol this fact. It contains more nutriment for its bulk than any other foodstuffs except meat and cheese, ana it is probable that the amount usually consumed by workers or,busy men can be reduced with advantage. What has happened lately in England may soon happen here, and it is there- fore Nyorth while to inquire how people can do with leas butter. In England most lasses with means are in the habit of cousurnIng, with tare exceptions, four meals a day; that is to say, a substantial breakfast front 8 to 9 o'clock, a luncheon from 1 to 2, a tea be- tween 4 and 5, and a dinner from 7 to 6. In Scotland, as any visitor knows. there Is sometimes a fifth meal at midnight. During the war even the workers have been able to enlarge their meals con- siderably. There are some 16,00,000 men and wo- men who are making unprecedented wages, which they spend largely on food. It is no wonder that there Is a shortage of butter and fat. Afternoon teas have been cuftalled, as sugar and tea are scarce. But at ,many of these Ineals butter Is consumed., and must be supplied as long as posslale. The scientific reit- sons for this eeem satisfactqry. At break- fast, for example, the average man're- quires a greater balk of food than at arty other time throughout the day., This Is caused by the long demand on his un - replenished' reserves of energy during the hours of sleep, by the drop in body tem- petature during the nfght and by the loss of energy, or, what Is hero the same thing, heat, in bathing and dressing. If he is t work soon after breakfast or if he has .worked until late at night his breakfast 'should consist mainly of food welch can be feuickly digested that is of butter; cereal, milk, eggs and fruits, both uncooked and preserved with Sugar. Prof Halliburton reveals an new rea- son why the,avere.ge man can replenish his stores of energy with butter. He has discovered -with other scientIsts-for he lays no claim to exclusive discovery - that butter and other fats of animal or- igin contain a vegetable eubstance essen-: Bat to human growth. He called it the SW), 11-.6.CETTS ORI "accessory growth aubatance," and by some it is identified evith vitamines. Ile divides the edible fats Into two groups coital -Sting of butter and animal fats, and the vegetable fats. The growth sub- stance is present in butter, butter fat, butter oil, egg yolk, eod liver oil, kind- rtey fitt and heart fat. He found by feed- ing experiments of animals that it Is &b.. sent from the majority of olls of vege- table origin, since olive oil, alnlona oil, torn Oil, sunflower seed all, bleach- ed Cottoneeed oil aud linseed oil Were un.

For about fifty years, in the ninth century, it was one of the first cities In the world. Before that time it had hardly even existed, and, after its short-lived greatness, it stead- ily fell into decay. It was in the heyday of the power of the Kalifs of Bagdad that the story of Samara began. The reign of the famous Mamun, one of the greatest of the Abbasides, after the Kalif Man- sur, had just come to a close, and the succession was sought by one Abu Ishak al Islotasim. Motasim, as he has confe to be known, had fora long time been preparing himself for thia project. Every year he had bought Turkish slaves, and, when he accom- panied Mamun on his last expedition, he had with him a formidable body- guard composed of some 3,000 twits. Backed by this force, he appears to leave compelled Mamun to designate him his successor, and the chroniclers record that he wrote, in the name of the Kalif, to the authorities at Bagdad and elsewhere, intimating that he was to be Mamun's successor. His inten- tions, however, wero not greeted with favor by the army, whieh insisted that Abbas, Mamma's son, should take hie father's place. Abbas, however, mib- Hely renounced all claims to the Italie fate, and in the end the army, with that rapid change of front so common in those days, accepted Motaslm, who hastened to Bagdad and made his pub-, lie entry into the city as kalif on Sep- tember 20, 833. The people, apparently, received him well, but the new kalif was determin- ed to have more than one string to his bow for the purpose of malting his po- sition secure.

One of his first acts, there- fore, on coming to Bagdad was to pro- cure officers for his guard, and for this purpose he bought up all tee Tur- kish slaves in Bagdad, who had in any way distinguished themeelves, and many of them afterwards became fa- mous.' The Turks, however, were un- ruly and undesciplined, and they uot only outraged the good people of Bag- dad by their excesses, but scandalized them by the opeh contempt they dis- played for the religious precepts of Is- lam. At Wet the people could stand it no longer, and they rose against the guard and slew as many as they could. Motasim was in a Fferious difficulty. He dared not, act with .aeverity to- wards the cit', so he decided to solve the problem by moving his capital. Proceeding up the Tigris, along much .the same cource as. General Maude's forces have been following, he came to the little town of Samara, ceose to the edge of the great MesopotaMiam pla- teau. There- he Wilt hinteelf a new residence., changing the name of the place from Samara, which could be in- terpreted to "Unhappy is he who sees it," to Sorra-Man-raa, "Rejoicing is he who 'sees it."

But the steeplejaelc is en - different to height and proximity to the abyse. The coolness aud resource of these men wore never better shown than in a case which happened in upper New York State a few years ago, A steeple jack had flown his kite over a chimney and subsequently drawn himself up to the top. lie was islet beginning his inspection of the werk when by soma miahap he dropped his rope and was left, like Saint Sitneon Stylites, alone on his pillar. Attemnts mere made to fly another kite, over him, but the wind had dropped. There were iron ladders in- side the chimney, but the fires would have to be drawn and the chimney let cool for hours. The steeplejaolc was then seen to unlace one of his shoes, take off the long blue stocking worn by such work- men and Get to work carefully to un- ravel it, knitting the pieces of yarn together when necessary. 110 then fastened a stone to the end, plumbed the depth, plated the other stocking to pieces and added it to the first ength of yarn and let it down far enough to meet a tall ladder, from which he drew up first a piece of strong string, next a rope and then after completing his inspection of the chimney top, lowered hirneelf to the ground. -Los Angeles Times. is r'ree i'ort? What is meant when we speak of a tree port in the sense that the term will be used in public discussions? When the subject of a free theatre was being discussed in this country some years ago a great many people were in favor of it because of their belief that the seats would be as free as those at public band concert. - Whereas, the meaning of "free" used in thia connection was that the thea- tre should be free from commercial or other Influence that would trammel its higheet artistic development. So, in speaking of a free port; in the sone° that it is used by the tarift commission, the reference is not to ports that are free in a physical senso for the ships of all natione to euter, or free from wharfage or pilotage or other port dues; but free from the custonlhouse regulations and restric- tions, the inspection cf goods and the levying of duties. The United States has never had ti free port in this sense. Nor is it meant that certain ports shall be favored above others in the sense that through them foreign goods may enter the 'country without the payment of duty. The free port is, in fact ,extra-terri- tbrial. It is a port for transshipment jOsif freights or for the receipt of me+ ,Materials that are to go through somo Process et manufacture before going t out of the country again; or, In the bventrthat they finally enter the coun- try, Vs pay their duties at the time warehoase to its highest point of effi- cien.cy.:Exchange. t, NOT IN STOCK.
