England and from England to the United

by Sir Richard Weston in 1915, who saw
it growing near Antwerp ia 1914, and
noticed the speed of its growth and how
soon it recovered after moving. In ten
years it had spread through the kingdom

History of a Single Bean.

The history Of single bean, accident
ally planted at that, in garden at
Southbridge, Mass, is traced by cor
respondent, who figured out its product
for three years. The bean was dropped
on 81 rich, loamy soil, and when gathered
in the autumn its yield, as counted, was
81, 515 perfectly developed beans from 3
single stalk. Now, if single stalk pro-
produces 1,515 beans, and each bean pro-
duces 1,515 more, the sum total of the
second years product would be 2,295, 225

five thousand two hundred and twenty
fve), equal to 1,195 pounds, 597 quarts,
or 1890 army rations, equal to 1Ss bush

second year. Now, if we plant the
above product and the yield is the same,
we should have product of 5,26S, o5S,-

a New Delicacy.

A new Australian delicacy is finding
its way into the London markets in the
shape of dried kangaroo tongues. The
tails and skins of those animals have
long been utilized-the former for MAX
ing soup, the latter for leather; and the
recent enormousde destruction of kangaroos
has given considerable impetus to these
two trades. Struck by the waste of
food occasioned by the slaughter of so
many thousands of these marsupials,
whose bodies are frequent left to rot
where they have fallen, Warroo settler
made an experiment in curing the
tongues of some of the slain, and so
highly were they approved that con-
siderable trade has sprung up in this
community. The tongues are usually
cured by drying in smoke, like the
Russian reindeer tongues; but much
better plan is to preserve them in tins,
like the sheep and OK tongues received
from America Tengueslend themselves
to this treatment better than almost any
other portion of an animal, as they
stand the excessive boiling better than
beef Or mutton.

Puebla. Thirteen persons accompanied
him, one of whom died at the top from

Seven thousand steps had to be cut in
