Why Not Grow Water Vegetables 2

In China many OF the shallow pools
have their bottoms planted with edi-
bic lilies, lotus, water chestnuts,
water spinach and other vegetables
which thrive in marahy lands. These
grow rapidly, and in the warmer Sec
tons produce moro than one crop
each year. 1t might be wise to try
some of these water vegetables in this
country, rs they will furnish a greater
variety of fool than already exists

lent to death. When the knout was
done away with, the plet, n simple lash,
was substituted for IT, This was con
sidered much milder form Of punish

ways Of increasing It's efficacy, and
George KEENAN,, In his recent book on
Siberia, says that he was informed by
Russian officers that death might be
caused by hundred blows Of the plet.
