board of naval experts has been for
more than two years at work making

consumption. The voluminous report
of the board is now on the press. and
will be ready for distribution about
August Is. Numerous requests have
been received at the navy department
for copies Of the document, in which
great interest is manifested by many

display in the building has been taken
chiefly from the royal museum OF
Bangkok and is intended to show the
art forms and technical skill of the
Siamese of century ago and also of
the present time. A collection OF
ancient weapons, musical instruments
and models of temples is shown. Of
special interest are the portraits OF
the king, queen and crown prince.
Those who visit the German sec.

any even hour of the day are inclined
to think that they have gotten into
the giant bird cage by mistake. A
chorus of cuckoo and bird-like trills
is heard, and it is some time before
the visitors realize that the sound
comes from the cuckoo clocks from

What a Nation Eats,

A committee of the Royal Statistical
society of Great Britain has recently
been engaged in investigating the pro-
duction and consumption of meat and
dairy products in that country, and
while they find that there has been
increased production, yet it has not
been on sale proportional with the
increase in population. According to
its report, submitted at a recent meet
ing of the society, the average con-
sumption per head in Great Britain
was, of meat 1918 pounds, of milk Is
gallons, of cheese 10.5 pounds, and oil
butter 1875 pounds. The amount of
meat included 56.S pounds of beef and
veal, 27.5 pounds of mutton and lamb,
and 36.S pounds of bacon and pork In
addition, the British people consume
extensive quantities of poultry, game,
rabbits, ETC., which are not included
in the above summary. The average
of Is gallons of milk does not include
separated or skim milk or condensed
milk, both of which are consumed to
an appreciate degree. In comparison
with the continental counties, Eng
land consumes much more meat, bur
considerably less than the United
States and Australia-Harper'
