Secretary Watson Of the Lumber

that within the last two months a vast
forest of walnut had been unearthed

adding to the accretions. Less tina
two months ago two farmers. walking
through a part Of the district, noticed
what 10 their eyes seemed TO be the
ends Of walnut trees sticking out Of the
suuken places and tipped over. Re
~membering that ast amounts OF cedar
wood have been dug up in various
places. the farmers reported their OBJ

Secretary Watson states that there
are two PARTS to a walnut tree. The
center consists Of solid. black wood.
and the rest Of the tree is a soft. sappy
growth. which Is Of little use for COM

Cuban insurgents had led many per-

But the future of Cuba presents no in

Is Sunstroke Epidemic q!

1t may become possible to forecast
sunstroke opidemics. The weather
bureau, at Washington, is conducting
board investigation with that end in
view Among the interesting facts
brought cut by the statistics collected.
says the New York Press, are that the
old notion that sunstrokcs are not ant
to occur on dry. hot days is falla :ious;
that people in Boston are more liable
to the afflicticn than are those in New
Orleans; that sunstrokes are not due
to sudden rises of temperature, but to
continuous hot weather, and that in
order to produce sunstroke epidemic
the nights, as we'll as the days, must
be hot.
Experiments recently made in
France show that one is much more
liable to become sunstruck when tired
than when rested
Like scarlet fever, sunstroke often
leaves to its victim some permanent
malady. On the other hand, it has
been known to have acted like the gold
cure OH men who had previously been
addicted to drink.
Many Of our soldiers in the tropics
have been victims of sunstrokc since
the war began. large number of the
cases occurring on board the TRANSPORT
vessels when the men were inordinate-
ly crowded together pending delays.
A large proportion of the strokes oc-
cured at night.
A military surgeon, who had studied
heat strokes. in the army for twenty
years, says he has seen most victims
fall when the sun was obscured by
clouds or mist.
Sensational reports that this work
of the weather bureau was being done
in order to be able to forecast waves
of crime due to weather conditions
has been somewhat embarrassing to
the department because there was no
such purpose in view. Nevertheless,
some statistics lately collected tend to
show that the public morals really are
at lower ebb in summer than in win
ter. The Chicago police records, com
pared with statistics Of that city's
weather bureau, show tha: foT period
of eight years marked increase of crime
set in with the hot weather. They
also show that crime increases as rain
fall decreases, and that the pcopis Of
the Windy City are most immoral when
winds are southwest and least so when
northeast.
