Alfred G. Vanderbilt, OF New York,
was the richest passenger on the Lusi-
tania which was sunk, off the south
coast of Ireland by German subma-
rine. He was among those who receiy-
ed warning by telegram as he stood
on the deck of the vessel just before
she left her pier. He, like scores of
others who got these mysterious mes
sages, paid no attention to them. He
is now counted as among those who
lost their lives in the disaster.

Splendid Exhibit Of SheiIs.

At a time when there Is so much
said and written concerning shells of
human manufacture designed to de-
stroy life. 1t is just as we'll to be re.
minded that there are other kinds of
shells to which the name more proper.
ly belongs. and which serve life as a
means Of protection. The American
Museum Of Natural History In New
York has just opened a remarkable ex.
hibit OF shells In which practically
every variety now extant within the
knowledge Of conchologists is dis.
played. Because of the part played BY
shells In the lower organisms and the
value they have as fossilized records
Of earth's earlier ages, few exhibits
could be Of great interest to people
with mind and leisure for other things

Land Of Sickle and Sheaf.

The people in our country each need
about five and a half bushels Of wheat
to tide them over a year. Our prom
Used crop. approaching a billion BUSH
els, means ten bushels for every in
habitant. This surplus is so enormous
that, taken in the aggregate, it is diff
ficult to comprehend. No other coun-
try in the world ever produced such a
vast quantity Of white bread material
in a single year. None ever had such
a huge amount to sell to foreign peo-
pies.
During the current crop year the
United States has exported about a
million bushels Of wheat every day,
thus setting a record beyond all prece.
dent. Moreover, the price received for
it, due to the war, is far greater than
the average price during the past
decade. Viewed in a purely selfish
light, the American farmer is doubly
blessed with an unparalleled crop at
the very time when wheat is dearest.
Our exports of wheat have powerfully
aided in building up in our favor the
greatest trade balance aver accumu-
lated in a twelve-month by any ma
ton. II our country were a corpora.
ton and needed a trade mark, the hap
piest selection would be a sickle and

A Bird Mystery.

One of the most curious and inter-
esting Of the unsolved problems relat-
ing to bird migration, according to
Mr.. w. w. Cookies recent memoir on
this subject, is connected with the
chimney swift, more often called the
chimney swallow" a very common
and well.known bird Of the eastern
United States. After the breeding sea.
son the f1ocks drift slowly south and
concentrate in vast numbers on the
northern coast Of the Gulf Of Mexico.
Then they disappear as completely
Gs II they hibernated under the water
or in the mud, according to the old
belief regarding birds In general. The
last week Of March they appear again
on the gulf coast. Their hiding place
during the intervening five months"
said Mr.. Cooke, is still the swift's
secret" (Chapman's Handbook says
they winter in Central America.)
