Industry Worth Developing.

Little use is being made of the floss
from the inside of the pods Of the
silk cotton tree in the West Indies.
In the Philippines the collection Of
this product-known throughout the
East as "Kapok" an industry
of considerable promise. 1t is being
more and more used in the manufac-
turc of patent life-belts, and agrtcul.
turists in the British West Indies
might with profit turn their attention
TO the collection Of this floss. The pro-
duction for 1913 was 245,009 pounds,
as against 69,606 in 1901. The de-
cline in 1911-12 is attributed by the
Mindanao Herald to increased local
consumption. Most of the kapok for
merly went to the Netherlands, either
direct or via Hongkong; but In 1912
IL it was exported chiefly to the Unit
ed States, Germany and Australasia, in

KITcHENERS KNOWN TO FAME
English Military Leader lie the Third
Of His Name to Have Won
Distinction.

Kitchener of Khartum is not known
FIRST but the third Kitchener known
to fame. The first was DR.. William
Kitchiner-the variation in the second
vowel counts for nothing-a London
literary man who died at the age OF
flfty-one In 1927. He inherited a for
tune of S350,000, was noted epicure,
and even wrote book entitled "The
Cooks Oracle" in which culinary In
structions are given with such entic-
ing pleasantly and clever anecdote as
to win the dullest reader. The second
Kitchener was a noted jockey, who
rode in the year 1874 the horse Red
Deer for the Chester cup and won,
says an exchange. He had weighed
in at two stone twelve pounds (forty
pounds), and four years before he
went to scale at Ascot weighing only
two stone seven pounds. Having
spent many years in France, he came
back to England in 1854 and won the
Northamptonshire stakes on a horse
named Dollar. While the great Kitch-
sner is now a central figure in the
European conflict, 1t was the Franco
German war Of 1870 that proved the
lndoing of the great little Kitchener.
That war drove him back to England,
where he died in 1872 at the age Of
'orty-three years. Johnny Reiff, the
title American Jockey, who achieved
glory on the English racecourse on his
irst appearance, weighed four stone
,wo pounds, and was eighteen pounds
heavier than his diminutive predeces-
