Siberian Alfalfa.

The Ontario department of agriculture

experiments IN propagatinS siberian al
falfa. The legislature of that state mas
voted s250a0 Ter carrying on the work OF
tlansplauting Russian and Siberian al
falfa started sel eral years ago under the
direction OF Professor Hansen. The ST.
beriau alfalfa. which is yellow lowered
differs from the common alfalfa of this
continent in being hardy enough to resist
severe drought and frost. 1t will thrive
ard spread on dry uplands where irrisa
ton is an impossibilty and the covering
of a blanket of snow is not necessary Tor
its protection in severe winter weather
1t is as coed forage as the alfalfa known
to most farmers of North America. and
is almost ideally suited for turning semi
arid wastes into sources of cattle fod-
der. The main obstacle in the way oil
using the wastes of stock raising has
been the lack of winter forage. If the
claims made for the Siberian alfalfa.
which is indigenous to the hleakest parts
of northern Asia, are suhstantiated. a
boon of priceless value to the United
States and Canada has been brought to
public notice.
Professor Hansen made his first trip
into Siberia in 1907. to hunt for cold and
drought-resisting plants for the Ameri-
can northwest The alfalfa plant was
one of his finds. In eastern and northern
Ontario are great areas where such Il
hardy alfalfa would mean the difference
between success and failure in land oc-
cupation 1t would turn to productive

MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM.
Interesting One Which VIII Keep the
Amateur Busy.

What is the greatest diameter of the
earth? The form Of the earth is that
of a fattened spheroid. greater in
diameter at the equator than at the
poles. but this is modified by the ac-
eidents of its surface. So that the
diameter varies according to the point
at which it is measured.
It might be expected that the diam
eter would be greatest if measured
from the top of the highest mountain.
which is Mt. Everest, in the Hima-
layas, but, unfortunately, the point at
which the diameter would emerge on
the other side of the world is the
Pacific ocean. where this is more than
1000 feet deep.
Prof l.. Henkel Of Sehulpferda, says
the greatest diameter of the earth is
that taken from the summit of Mt.
Chimborazo, in Ecuador, 20,13 feet
above the sea level. This, he says,
emerges at the antipodes on high
point on the north ccast of Sumatra.
This diameter is 1928 miles.
As Chimberaze is almost on the equa-
tor, its summit is that point on the
earths surface which is most distant
from the center. There weight Is
feeblest and centrifugal force greatest.
The earths smallest radius is that
from the center To the north pole, but it
is not certain that the line through the
poles is the smallest diameter, because
the south pole is on high plateau 1t
might be found that line little distant
from the poles which would emerge at
sea level at each end. woud be even
shorter than the polar diameter. such
a line would be found from point in
the Arctic Ocean between Spitzoe. gen
and Greenland t. a point Just OF the
coast of the Antarctic Continent in the
big bay overlooked by Mt. Erebus. In
about f75 to $50 degrees east and 10 to Sc
degrees south.
This would be a pretty problem to SET
class of high school boys: TO find the
earths shortest diameter giving them
a large globe and the very latest map OF
the antarctic regions to work with.
1t would also be interesting to set such
a class to verifying Prof. Henkels fig
ures The present writer is inclined to
believe that the diameter taken from
| the summit OF Mt. Chiles, in Colombia
| 1890 feet above the sea. might be great
er than that from the summit of Chin
| borazo, for a careful study of the map:
indicates that at its antipodes it woult
| emerge ut a higher point in Sumatrf
| than the Chimborazo line. The latter
would emerge Il \. lat, 101 f. long.
which point is in the marshes on the
| plateau near Serentang. The line from
| Mt. Chiles would emerge at S. lat, 1902
e. long, which is on the northeastern
slope of the Barisan Mountains at al
elevation of about 1900 feet. Which o.
| these lines is the longer depends upoT
| the elevation of their respective anti
| podes. Chimborazo is more than 400
feet higher than Chiles. so the Chile.
| line would have to emerge at least tina
| much above sea levei.-New York Even

Soloists, chorus. quartet and or

factors in building up a program that

Naterville folks long ago realized that
anything produced by the Cecilia

the mention of the word Cecilia in mu-

perfection.
To single out any one individual in

more in the limelight than those who
took part ia collective numbers, but
yet the york of the others was no
less appreciated. Miss Efie Pooler,
