"Since the days in which Mark Twain .wrote that in Bermudian metaphor the onion stood for absolute perfection, that vegetable has fallen ; from its high estate and is becoming of decreasing importance/' say Mr. McCallan in the agricultural bulletin of the Bermuda Department of Agriculture.

Exports n fish, for ths last 10 or 12 ysers . tl great source of cash returns, will 1 surprisingly heavy this year, he r ports, while a mining revival is evidence and exports of high-grai lumber, cut from the Tongass Natio al Forest, shows a promising begi ning. "The people of southern Alaska a particularly pleased with the effor of the Forest Service to establish pulp and paper industry there, m with the roads built by the Servii and by the Bureau of Public Bonds Mr. Sherman says. "The road proi lem in Alaska is unlike that ei countered elsewhere. In the state travel and traffic exist before tl government bfegins building road in Alaska we have to anticipate tl demand." The completion, probably ue: January, of the government railroi from .

"It looked last year as thoug the salmon industry was facing earl destruction, but the run this yet was in some cases greater than ,ev? before." The relatively new herring curin irduBtry also has seen increased a< livity. Alaska last year shippc about 170,000 barrels of mild-cure herring, which was more than in an previous year. A shipment of a most twice as much is expected t :? this year's total. Mr. Sherman says that at one sea h rt he saw a vessel loading a cai << of 1.800,000 feet of Alaska lum x r for Australia.

I - j Declares England Does i Not Need Gulf Stream ( London, Nov. 20.?-Science has come j forward recently ro destroy another of ' man's long cherished illusions, but at the same time it hits removed a source of constant anxiety to those who ' would attempt to understand the ; causes of climatic conditions. M. Danots, the well known nydroi- 1 ?gist, who has made a special study ' of the waters of the Atlantic, has declared that the temperate. climate of the British Isles and the northern ( coast of France does not depend on the Gulf, stream, and that its diver, sion would not therefore leave this section of the world in tha jp~ip of an Arctic winter. M. Danoia claims to have proved that the Gulf stream, rising to the north of the Antilles, does not pass the Sargasso Sea, and the notion must be discarded*that it traverses the Atlantic to bathe the shores of England and France. He. oppresses the view that the Gulf stream is merely the backwash of the equalaalal currents.

There are about fifteen million seres of agricultural lands \n Japan, of which approximately one-half is paddy field, which is exclusively devoted to the growing of rice.

DUCTS CO. | r American Aviator Flys Over Andes Lima, Peru, Nov. 20.?What is probably the most daring aviation feat yet recorded in South America is the fight by an American aviator, Elmer J. Faucet, from Lima to the Amazon port of Iquitos. Faucett, who is attached to the statT of the National Aeronautic Company of Peru, left Lim ain a Curtiss "Ohiole" plane, in an cnort to win a prize of $5,000 for the first airplane flight from this capital to Iquitos, offered by thp Peruvian congress. The first lap of the flight was to Chiclayo, 400 miles north of Lima. Faucett made this distance in six hours, and landed safely on the arid plains near that city. Several weeks were required to get the plane in condition for the second stage of the flight, which was particularly dangerous in the absence of air maps or any other guides. Iquitos imore than 500 miles froh Chiclayo in a straight air line, and the intervening country is as wild as can be found in South America. This region is a vast tangle of difficult mountain passes, cascades, and rapids until the highest ranges of the Andes are passed at an elevation of from 16,000 to 17,000 feet. The Maranon river and its affluents, which flow into the Amazon, have cut tremendous chasms in the ranges of the Andes, down which swift, turbulent streams flow in their mnnu) tn fko 4flnnli<? Aftur tln.i come the tropical lnnds leading up to the Amazon proper, whore impem*. trabie jungles and swampy wastes make travel of any kind difficult. It was over such a country that Faucett had to fly when he made his final "hop-off" from Chiclayo on October 6. Had his motor failed him. no trace of aviator or plane would probably ever have been discovered. As It was, he was forced to land when only 40 minutes of flying separated him from his goal. A driving rain and tlranderstorra forced him down o<i an islet in the Tigre river, where his plane became mired in the soft sand, causing him to break a propeller. A passing launch from Iquitos picked him up and carried the stranded aviator to the isolated Amazon port, where he was given a tremendous ovation. His flying time from Chiclayo up to the moment of the accident was also six hours, or a total of 12 hours from Loraa.
