PASSING or MALARIA.

AT meeting of the Royal Colonial
institute, in London recently DR.. MAI
colin Watson gave an account of his
work in the prevention of malaria in
the Federated Malay States. He
showed that pool breeding mosqui-
toes could be abolished by open drain
age, that stream breeders could not
be SO abolished, but required drain
age, and that countries with no hill
stream breeders had no hill malaria
He described investigations which he
had carried out in other parts of the
world where malarious conditions
more or less prevailed, in the Duars
at the foot of the Himalayas, and in
the Jeypore hills in Madras, in SUI
matra, Panama, British Guiana and
Barbados, and declared that the new
knowledge had given absolute control
over the malaria of low, fat land and
high hopes of control over that in
hill land. There was also every hope
Of abolishing malaria from rice fields.
He believed that the prevention of
malaria, the improvement in health
of the agriculturist and the cultiva-
ton of the land were all intimately
connected and that what helped the
one would improve the other The
enormous commercial value of the
control or prevention of malaria in
tropical countries will be appreciated
by all familiar with conditions in those
localities.

A farm is the landscape of the own
er's heart and the reflex of his mind.
If man can be judged by his clothes,
he can more truly be read by his farm,
which is an extension of his vest
ments, says the Breeders Gazette
Beauty and order can never be appre-
ciated as a part of environment until
they are inner relatives. What a
man is, inevitably reveals itself in
his words and works. A farm adorned
with improvements, crops, animals
and trees, makes picture of peace
and plenty, unfolding the expression
of it's owners ideals. It is the won
drous canvas on which he leaves the
subtle strokes of genius or mediocrity
1t is to the interpreting onlooker a
kind of autobiography. Wherefore a
farm is exceedingly interesting as an
index of the character of its owner

10Y OF LIVING.

The wish to live and the joy of liv-
Eng are constantly sustaining forces.
They influence US In almost every
thing We do and In some measure
enter into every days experience
When, II ever, the time comes that
the joy OF living has lost its SAVIOR
and the desire to live has yielded to
adverse circumstances, there is little
or nothing left worth while. Money,
position and power are equally futile
20 Offset the depression of spirit and
oppression Of mind consequent upon
such a lapse from natural and innate
impulses. Hence it becomes a duty,
Imposed in part by the necessity for
self-preseryation and in part by the
obligation to family and friends, for
men and women to guard themselves,
as best they can, against anything
which may tend to detract from the
Joy Of living For, next to the hope
OF and faith in immortality, that is the
richest heritage we have This is a
postulate which you can test and
prove up for yourself in half min
ute's reflection. Imagine, if possible.
that, in addition to perfect health, you
were in possession Of ample fortune,
of unrestricted leave to go and come,
OF every conceivable creature COM
fort and personal luxury, and yet had
no Joy in living. That would be an
empty existence-fat, stale and I'M
profitable. But you can turn the
Hypothetical case clear around, strip
yourself of all the things mentioned,
and you will have no difficulty in be-
lieying that you could still have joy
lof life and still want to live the psalm.

REAL REWARDS.

Somebody somewhere has said
something to this effect: Whoever
writes must do SO for consideration
other than monetary" Ordinarily,
though there are some notable excep-
tions to the rule, literary pursuits
have not been primarily remunera-
tive, nor followed with any such pur-
pose OF expectation. Often, on the
contrary, their limitations for mate
rial aggrandizRment are clearly and
severely outlined beforehand to those
engaging in them. But so it is with
many of the most useful and truly
fruitful fields of endeavor. While
laudable money-making Is not to be
decried, the real rewards of merit
more often come in other kinds Of
coin. BY harsh combination Of cir.
cumstances which fate seems to Inn
pose, science itself sometimes is de-
MED the big emoluments of it's In
ventions. Then, again, exactly the
opposite is true. Edison is a rich
man, so was Westinghouse. Their
wealth came from their inventions.
Luther Burbank, on the other hand,
is not yet classed among the Ameri
can kings of finance, nor has he
commercial mind, although it remains
scientific men of our DAY bequeath
more to humanity than he does. Had
Burbank turned his genius into me-
chanical instead of plant science he
would by now undoubtedly rank
among the rich inventors. But he has
no way Of reaping the fruits Of pat
ent rights on his vegetable phe-
nomena.

In remote Alpine hamlets and vii
lagos, especially in the Bernese Ober-
land, there still exist ancient and pref
ty customs of proposing marriage by
the language of flowers. If a maid
accepts bouquet of edelweiss from
man she at the same time accepts
him as her fiance, the idea being
that the man has risked his life to
obtain the flowers for the woman he
loves. Another method which exists
in the canton of Glarus is for the
young man to place a flower pot con-
tanning single rose and a note on
the window sill Of the girls room
when she is absent from home and
wait-perhaps days-for a reply. If
the maid takes the rose the young
man boldly enters the house to ar
range matters with her parents, but
If the rose is allowed to fade away
the proposal is rejected without any
words having been exchanged be-
tween the couple. Sometimes tickle
girl will keep young man waiting a
day or two for an answer, but what
ever it may be it is considered final.

The charge that English peerages
go to the highest bidder-that liberal
contributors to the campaign fund of
the party in power receive these dis
tinctions in return for their cash as
sistance in the carrying of elections
indicates that peerages in Great Brit
ain are on about the same plane as
ambassadorships- sometimes-in the
the United States. But there is one
essential difference; British peerages
are hereditary, while the prize of an
enthusiastically sometimes is so fleet
ing that it is yanked from under
winner before he has time to get out
of the country.

The tuning fork is the latest marvel

The tuning fork is the latest marvel
or medicine. DIR. James Camille, a
doctor who learned many strange
clinical secrets during his adventures
In China, and who is today one of our
greatest experimentalists in the field
of tropical medicine, has discovered
that the tuning fork can prove Of
great help to physicians. BY vibrat.
ing tuning fork and moving it about
against the body the density of the
organs situated beneath can be
gagged almost to a hairs breadth.
The fork used gives out the note of
c sharp; it has a specially designed
striker attachment, so that it need
not be removed from it's position for
the purpose of revibrating. DR.. Can't
lie in certain cases compared the re-
suits of his tuning fork method with
those obtained by means of X-rays,
and found that the former were abso-
lutely accurate. He believes that the
method will be very useful when deal
ing with broken ribs and other bones,
and he is now trying to tabulate the
different sounds made by various liv-
er complaints.

Hundred-story buildings are not
only possible, but probable, according
to statement by Henry w. Hodge,
consulting engineer, in the Engineer
ing Record, in which he forecasts the
future of steel construction It Is
pointed out that recent advances in
design have called for great improve
ment in the quality of building mate
rails. The modern trend is from plain
steel to its alloys-nickel, vanadium
and other metals-which have been
found to increase strength in greater
proportion than cost.

The dispute over a cargo of con-
served, dried fruits from Canada,
which the French sanitary authori-
ties condemned on the ground that
the fruits contained boracic acid has
led to an authoritative statement be-
ing issued by Dr. Roux, director Of
the Pasteur institute, to the effect
that all fruit contains small quanti-
ties of boracic acid, boracic being pro-
duced naturally by all living cells
Messieurs Bertrand and Aguilhon,
whose work on this subject was
cited by DR.. Roux, discovered a
new method of quantitative analysis
enabling the chemist to distinguish
between the presence of pre-existent
and artificial boracic introduced for
preseryative purposes. The Bertrand
Aguilhon table of pre-existent boracic
fixes at 112 milligrams per kilogram
the normal amount of boracic acid in
dried apricots and cherries, 56 milli-
grams in wood strawberries, 28 milli-
grams in English pears and 22S MILL
grams in black grapes. Almost all
vegetables, notably carrots, beans,
turnips, onions and cucumbers, con-
tain from Sc to 1873 milligrams of Dor
acic per kilogram.

SLOW PROGRESS:

Ours Is an age which prides itself
on rapid progress. Wherefore, by
measuring the time it takes a radical
departure TO become established in
this modern era, one may get some
notion Of the slow pace of invention
and discovery in more conservative
periods. Aluminium is metal SO
abundant that every claybank is a
mine of it. It does not rust, as iron
and steel do; 1t is very light in pro-
portion to its strength. 1t has so
many good qualities that the predic-
ton used to be made that aluminium
was sure to supplant iron, even as
iron had taken the place of bronze.
But 1t hasn't done so. Aluminium
was first isolated in 1928. Improve
ments in its manufacture were made
in 1856, and since about 1890 the pro-
duction of this new metal on large
scale has been pretty well standard
lied. 1t has been applied to many
uses. but it hasn't made a dent in the
supremacy of iron and steel If four
score years of knowledge and a quar-
ter of century of specialized indus
trial effort under modern conditions
have had so little effect in substitu-
ting aluminium for iron, how long do
you suppose it took our respected an
cestors to make up their minds that
copper was better material for break
ing heads than was Clipped flint?
