REEVES interest and belief in the
idle lands, and stirs the commun-

SO there are men travelling all
over the world IN the most mae
cessible places searching for plants
as the Spaniards of old, crossed
mountains and deserts in search of
gold. And in many experiment
stations in all parts Of the United
States are thousands of the plants
which the explorers have sent back
from their travels, being tested
to see whether they will increase
the fertility of the already fertile
lands, or restore the waste places
to profit. And there are already
many farms in the United States
more valuable because these for
|elgn crops that suit their needs
have been introduced into this
country The plant explorers are
helping to make nature more
efficient servant to the American
people.

his bayonet into the dog. Its own
CT sued him in the county court for
its value, and the evidence given
showed that the soldier had not been

PRoWESs OF SAILORS.
Miss Jane Wilkes Adds to Exhibit
in National Museum

In the hall of American history in the
United States National Museum are eX-
hibition cases that testify to the appre-
citation by the world of the prowess of
our sailors. Miss Jane Wilkes a daugh-
ter of Admiral Wilkes, has recently added
to the collections now on exhibition me-
MORALS of her father.
Capt. Wilkes conducted the famous eX-
ploring expedition that visited the south
ern and Pacific oceans during the years
lS::S-42, and for recognition of his serv
ives the Royal Geographical Society of
London conferred on him its gold medal
in 1913. This medal has been contributed
to the museum. Other interesting de-
posts by Miss Wilkes include a jeweled
sword presented to her father in 1862 in
recognition of his services to the gov
eminent in effecting the removal of the
confederate commissioners, Mason and
Slidell from the British mail steamer
Trent His service sword. his cooked
hat, and epauletS are likewise included
in the collection. Other personal relics
from his various cruises are among the
articles received, but perhaps best of all
is the flag flown by him on his great
exploring expedition, when he made the
valuable collections in natural history
and ethnology that so largely formed the
beginning of the nucleus of the National
Museum.
