DISCOVERY OF FOOD.

In these days of rumors about scar
city Of crops In many parts OF the
world, some interest is taken in a
plant which is said TO be largely culti-
waited in tropical Africa, by the ma
tiyes, and used for food. Its African
name is Woandsu II has been trans.
planted, 1t seems, to Brazil and to
some parts Of Asia, and it is supposed
1t will attain popularity as 1t becomes
better known.
The fruit according to the descrip-
tion given, natures under ground, like
the peanut. The eatable kernel is said
TO have the shape OF an egg, and is
dark red, with black stripes and white
hilum, like most beans. II furnishes a
very white -four whose flavor after
cooking much resembles that of chest
nuts.
a french chemist who has analysed
the kernel found the following com
position: Fifty-eight per cent Of
starchy substance, - per cent nitro
genous. 10 per cent water. 6 per cent
oily, per cent cellulose substance and
per cent ashes.
Consul General Richard Guenther re-
ports that, chemists who have had
wide experience in the chemistry Of
nutriments call this fruit the most per-
feet in nutrlment property Of any they
have examined" II Is claimed that
two pounds OF these beans will supply
the needs Of the human system for one
day.
The Woandsu may not become the
rival OF the potato which since It's
discovery has played 50 import
ant role In the household
economy, but II 1t is what Is claimed
for II, it should be q welcome addition
to the food supply Of the civilized
world And then II may become a
factor In the civilization Of Africa, as

KRUGER HOLDS OUT.

The latest utterances Of the former
president Of the Transvaal. in an inter
view with William Redmon, are re-
markable because they show that Mr..
Kruger's faith IN the ultimate success
Of the cause OF his people is still UNI
shaken. Nothing, apparently can
change his mind on that subject.
Speaking of the proclamation of Lord
Kitchener, he said the Beers are not
10 be frightened by such threats which
win only encourage them TO continue
fighting.
That proclamation was issued on the
7th Of August, and It calls upon all
Boer commanders to surrender their
arms before the 18th Of September. 1t
sets forth that the two republics have
been annexed by Great Britain, and
that a majority Of the citizens either
are prisoners or have submitted TO Bril-
fish authority. For this reason his
majesty's government is determined to
make an end ito a state of things
which is aimlessly prolonglng blood
shed and destruction and inllieting ruin
upon a great majority Of the inhabi-
tants."
The proclamation Is virtually a no
tice to the leaders Of Beers that after
the date mentioned, they will not be
accorded bellIgerent rights, but be
treated as bandits. Mr. Chamberlain
clearly defined the governments policy
He intimated that Beers convicted of
killing wounded soldiers and natives
in British service" would be shot, and
that houses sheltering yioators Of the
rules Of war would be burned. lie
declared that the time for sentiment
had expired and that from now on
the Beers must be suppressed sum-
marlly.
To an outside observer. this declara-
ton and the proclamation that follow
ed 1t are a notice to the world that the
war has entered upon it's final phase,
and II Is hardly possible to draw more
than one concuslon-that the tragic
end Of Boer Independence Is about to
come. But to Mr.. Kruger a proclama-
ton more or less has no significance
lie believes his Beers are determined
to fight and die fighting Finland, a
hundred years ago. had just such
struggle with Russia. Her armies were
destitute OF everything except brave
generals and indomltable courage They
fought on against the most fearful odds,
They did not conquer, but they Sc
cured for their country some privileges
of an independent state which. how
ever, since then have been gradually
wiped away.
The world is deeply interested in the
drama that is being played on the
South African veldt, Its denoument
bids fair TO be the determination of
people fighting for liberty, by another
people which for a long period Of time
has been a standard bearer Of liberty
In the world. Impartial history OF this
war will read like strange fiction. II
will furnish themes for future Homers
