LOOKING TO SOUTH PACIFIC j

t
Witb Europe a seething mass of un- J
Met and discontent and uncertainty, 1
jour Britisher is looking to the islands 1
Of the Soutii Pacific, already owned by '
the empire, as the next place to go?
^ and to exnlolt. to use the expression
of a lot of people who do not know the ,
medhlng of the word. Already corpo- ,
rations are being formed to colonize j
the islands, and beautiful word pic- i
tares of the advantages of n residence <
upon them are being painted. ]
The fruth is, for some years the ]
white man has been gradually getting 1
a foothold In the region. The delight- <
lul pictures which one sees of the na- '
tives, gives a little Idea of what is '
really to be seen in the country- They 1
re not the wild, naked people roaming
at large, eating each other and '
the mlMHlonarles. Rubber plantations, 1
coconut groves, phosphate mines and '
other Industries are operated by Eriropeana.
And schools and churches "
re encountered on every hand, with (
the honk of the horn of the automo- (
bile heard In the shade of the palins. ,
The white man will not reach the ]
end of his road until there Is no more j
country to be settled up. and there \
re still vast areas to be brought un- ,
der his domain. In Africa, and upon .
the Islands pf the sea, he is setting his
fodt and clearing up the Jungles and
conquering the pests and becoming acclimated.
But the end Is not yet:
there Is still much to the done, and *
the fiances are that* the next" few
years will see an exodus to these faraway
places where a beginning bus
already been made.?Columbus Dispatch.
MADE HIT WITH RECITATION
' PrlncCa Speech Consisted of Verses
From the Koran, but Audience
Didn't Know ItIt
Is Interesting to recall that during
the recent European tour of Prince
Peisal of the new kingdom of Syria,
his memory of the Koranic versep
stood him In good stead. In London,
t a dinner In the Guildhall, the prince,
who was the guest of honor, and who
knew little French and less English,
was called eipon to reply to the toast
of his health. Beside htm sat his
friend nnd mentor. Colonel Lawrence,
Oxford profeasor and oriental scholar,
to whom ha whispered as he rose to
acXorwlodge the lord mayor's speech.
/ Colonel Lawrence nodded his assent,
and the prince addressed his audience
In flowing Arabic periods, winning
appreciation and applause.
When the guest of honor had resumed
his seat, Colonel Lawrence, as
his interpreter, rose to express in English
the prince's sentiments of gratitude
for his reception, and to voice
his devotion to the principles of democracy
and allied solidarity. It was
not until many days had gone by
that Colonel Lawrence allowed It to he
known among his friends that what
the prince had whispered to him was!
"I'll recite the verses from the
Koran about the cow."
Thus did the diplomatic professor
deceive the unwitting ears of his Guildhall
friends.?Munsey's Magazine.
Country's f^otive Energy.
The gauge of u nation's industrial
might Is the amo;int of motive energy
wuicii ii can command inr ine manifold
fields of production and the essential
contributory activities. We
have maintained our supremacy in
manufactured output very largely because
of the vast amount of power
which we could call into service, Robert
G. Skerrett wrote in the Scientific
American. Modern nations expend
far more energy than the combined
muscular ability of their population
and beasts of burden. The margin is
covered by the employment of mechanical
energy in the form of power.
To accomplish the work done annually
In the United States, would require
the labor of 3,000,000,000 hard-working
slaves. The use of power gives to
each man, woman and child In this
country the service equivalent of thirty
servant's.
Why Orchid* War* Caged.
Visitors to the flower ahow held recently
In the Royal Horticultural hall
at Westminster, England, were surprised
to find a number of rare orchids
confined, like so many wild animal*
in the zoo, within a heavy wire
cage. It was explained that as the
flowers represented a new addition to
the orchid family, the grower was naturally
anxious that his fellow dealers
-should not share his triumph. Had It
not been for the cage, an unscrupulous
competitor might have stolen some
of the powdery pollen from the
tolooms, and used It to fertilize plants
of his own. Normally adhering to the
bodies of visiting Insects, the pollen
might easily have adhered to the tip
of the thief's finger.?Popular Mechanics

United In Bond* of Peaco
In the presence of the chief executlves
of Ecuador and Colombia, the
I corner stone of a monument commemorative
of the happy termination of the
I boundary dispute between the two
countries, was recently laid at the
I bridge of Rumlchaca on the frontier.
President Alfredo Maquerizo Moreno
I of Ecuador and President Fidel Huarez
met half way on the bridge and greet|
ed each other amid a salute of artillery
and cheers of spectators of both
l nationalities. The presidents delivered
addresses referring to the monument

Potatoes Selling High.
"The advantage of being able to
market a crop alowly was brought to
my attention in a striking way this
summer," remarked Dr. Stackhouse.
"I planted three and a half acres of
Irish potatoes between cotton rows
and gathered the potatoes in time to
cultivate the cotton without any difficulty.
I did not have a place in
which to store the potatoes and sold
them early, realizing $2.50 a barrel
for them. The only profit 1 made
was the guano I used under the potatoes.
I will make just as much or
probably more cotton where I had
the potatoes planted than I will make
t>n any other part of the field. When
[ sold my potatoes the market was
pretty well glutted and I felt that I
was lucky to get out with cost of production.
But a few weeks ago the
market went to $3.50 per barrel and
& few days ago I received a letter
Trcm a wholesale house olferlng me
$6 per barrel. If I had kept my potatoes
until now I would have had a
good profit in them- This led me to
make some investigations and I And
that potatoes can be kept almost the
/ ivuuu, yiunucu iuey ?re pacKea
In ventilated barrels and stored In a
iark place. They will retain their
original flavor and can be kept
through the winter If they are not allowed
to freeze. I believe it is a profitable
crop if a person will store
them carefuly and market them
gradually through the winter."
