PhilanthrOpist and Elephant

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The philanthropist: "Is this the ele. phant?"
 The keeper, a practical person: That's $ what it's called"
 I mean is this the elephant that is chained and deprived of it's liberty?"
 never saw one that wasn't"
 Wasn't what?'
 Deprived of It's liberty"
 ou are very calloused person. You Enow very well that this unhappy creature has been brutally treated. and chained to the floor, and prevented from taking the exercise that an all-wise Creator in tended for it. I know what you will say. You will say the elephant is un- trustworthy and treacherous and dan gerous. That's the usual old story. But have you ever tried kindness?''
 Tried everything, sir
 "Ah, but not in the right spirit Let me show you. Here, old fellow, nice old fellow-nobody will hurt you. Nice old chappie. Want a peanut?''
 The chained elephant shorts violently and thrusting out his trunk blows off the rhilanthropist' spectacles and hat and with wild shriek tries to get his trunk around the good mans neck.
 The philanthropist, falling back in wild alright: Get away from there, you flap- cared old brute, You try that again and I'll jab my umbrella into your mangy old ribs, you old ruffian!'
 And the keeper draws him away scold- ing and fuming.

'NOBLEMAN'S" DAUGHTER
 DAZZLED NEW YORK;
 IS ACCUSED OF THEFT
"A CADET OF BELGIUM"

From the Globe Democrat
 New York.-It was entrancing romance Of the movies" which led Marie Des- mont, 19 and unusually pretty, from her East Side home to Broadway, where as "a daughter of a Brazilian nobleman, ," her winsome manner, command of several languages and her gowns and jewels quickly won popularity for her as nov ing picture actress. But the romance was blasted when the girl was arrested on a charge of stealing $500 worth of jewelry from Miss May Tevis of the Hotel Mar tha Washington.
 When the girl first appeared at the Broadway offices of various film com panies two months ago she said she was the daughter of a wealthy Brazilian cof- fee planter, who bore an ancient Portu- guese title. She said she had just arrived here and wanted to pose for the pie lures just for fun Now it Is learned she is the oldest of nine children of an East Side shoemaker and until she left home in February had been a cloak model
 The girls mastery of Italian, Spanish and English readily won belief for her story.
 While out on bail on another charge she gave silver necklace to Richard B. Lynch, moving picture actor, explain ing that 1t was a family heirloom Lynch was not satisfied with the explanation and turned the jewel over to the police.

Boy Scouts

From the Indianapolis News.
 Ten thousand Boy Scouts, gathered from the London area and home counties. re gently went through all manner of drills at review before the Queen Mother, Alex. andra. But drilling is only a small part of what the Boy Scout learns In this country there are thousands of Bo, Scouts who have been elisted in the fou, years since the movement was launched here. The effect of the movement is that every boy joining 1t becomes interested a, the dangerous age' of adolescence, is drawn out of doors and into the most healthful kind of recreation both bodily and mental.
 Such boys are enlisted practically il, gangs" but they are under the direc- tion Of grown men, who utilize the boy Instinct for adventure and turn their en- ergy into useful paths. They learn, says the Worlds Work, the scout law-to be trustw orthy, obedient cheerful, thrifty clean and reverent.
 The boys like the effort because it is good fun, and because they learn to do things for themselves that they have read about They learn to cook meat and potatoes in the open without ordinary utensils; to know the points of the com pass, and to find their way in the woods by the moss on the trees; to swim 5f yards; to resuscitate drowning person. what to do for snake bite, and other things of this kind. The spirit of the Instruction teaches them to do ''team
 work" to be square with their com panions. At home or away from it they must do one good turn a day.
 What splendid upbuilding of chara cter such thing is. Last year the boys to the number of $50 from surrounding towns helped the veterans at the Gettysburg re- union, acting as guides, running errands, erecting tents, helping the sick, etc. They heipeo Tn the ohio flood district, both to relieve the sufferers and to collect funds They helped in clean-up campaigns in several eastern cities.

GERMANY SOL WING
 FOOD QUESTION IN
 THE USUAL MANNER
Commission Appointed to Consider Matter From All Angles = Feeling Lack
 of Fertilizer Severely
By FREDERICK WERNER

Berlin, May 29.-(Special )-With wonder tul self-control and self-sacrifice the en- tire German people has willingly submitted to the food regulations laid down by the government and very little is heard about the great food question among people in general This, however, does not mean that the question has ceased to exist, on the contrary it is being dealt with by government experts with characteristic German thoroughness.
 Immediately it became evident that England had the means to maintain a serious, if not complete, blockade of this country a commission of 16 persons among whom were three physiologists. one practical housewife and several ex- perts on political economies, agriculture and statistics, was appointed.
 This committee assuming that Germany was cut entirely off from the outside world began to examine how much food, how many calories, to use scientific ex- pression, were needed to keep a popula- tion of 6S,0O0,000 alive for one year. The commttee's confidential report distin-

guishes between albumen, carbohydrates and fat and figures that 1 grain fat gives a.S calories, l grain carbohy drates gives II and 1 grain albumen also Al oalories, It says that grown up man needs 5000 calories of food day. a woman 80 per cent of this babies 20 to 30 per cent and a child of IA 80 per cent. On this basis the people of Germany need 5s,750 billion calories to keep soul and body together for one year..
 Going into details the experts then ar rive at the result that the amount ox albuminous food needed during one year Is 1,605,000 tons Before the war the Ger man people consumed 0,420 billion calories and 230I,0O0 tons of albumen a year. or in other words they ate much more than necessary. An examination of the food stuff on hand showed that Germany pos- sessed 67.S60 billion calories and 1,545, 900 tons of albumen when the war broke out.
 The lack of labor in the country dis trcts Is being remedied by making the prisoners work in the fields. horses are being supplanted by oxen and mechanical ower. The greatest menace, however is the lack of fertilizers especially Chiii nitrates of which Germany used 525,000 tons in 1913. while not single ton reaches the country now. The loss is being made good partially by natural manure, but the evaporation of the nitrogen from this causes an annual loss to Germany of S120,- GOO, 0C0 it is figured.
 Pigs are being. killed because the food N hich pig consumes will feed twice as many human beings as will it's meat and fat.
 By killing 5,500,000 pigs and 1,0oo. 900 cows it is hoped to save 2S78 billion calories and H7.000 tons of albumen.
 Besides. everything is being done to do away with the daily waste in housekeep- ing. The importance of this will be real ized when it is stated that by peeling the potatoes before they are boiled Ger many loses two billion tons a year The same applies to fat, for the famous food expert. Professor Rubner, has examined the water of the Berlin sewers and has figured out that through these alone 25 per cent of the amount of fat needed daily Is going to waste.

THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY" By Stewart Edward White illustrated;
 Doubleday, Page & Co.,, publishers, Gar
 den City, New York.
 ''The Rediscovered Country Is MT Whites diary of his hunting trip to the last virgin hunting ground in the in- babited part of the world-a field as large as that of British East Africa and near ly as accessible, which has never knowr the sound of a gun. Here game abounds as in the already known parts of East Africa before the coming of the white man, while the trophies to be had arc larger and finer than can now be found in any other part of Africa because here they have not been picked over by other hunters. Emphatically, it is not soft mans country, but to any man who cares to see the last frontier-to say that he was among the first to open the last new land. the difficulties are not unsurmount- able.
 In 1910-11 MT. White accompanied by MT. Cuninghame travelled extensively through the game fields of British East Africa This journey he describes in ''The Land of Footprints and African Camp Fires" While on one of the side trips, the party approached a range of noun tains on the German East African border beyond which the country was almost un- known both to the natives and to the government officials. Rough army survey maps had been made some years before but after the passing of this one party the country had been left undisturbed Roughly 1t is that part of German East Africa lying between Lakes Natron and Victoria Nyanza-south and east of the latter. In 1913 MT. White, again accom- panied by MT Cuninghame, set out to rediscover this country. The pages of MT Whites diary show how interesting this trip was. The land Is high and the cli- mate good. Rivers and frequent streams and waterholes make travelings when once the country is reached, not much harder than in the East African game fields provided the hunter knows how to travel light. The scenery MT. White found un matched in Africa

keep him from laughing himself to death Perhaps Cellette also helped-Cellette, the model, who lived in terror lest someone should discover that she and Lewis were good.
 The brilliant, sophisticated father has 8 richly colored past, particularly with regard to one woman and some others, and wine and gambling and reading and travelling and thinking; and he filters through himself" stained glass;" he says the light of his own experiences for the benefit of his son. His urbane, antiseptic commentaries upon life as 1t flows for ward upon the boy touch nearly all the great questions that civilized men and women must look at to live.
 The novel is love story that travels fast and far There are good many memorable women in it. There are Helene, the honorable Violet Cellette and Folly. There are also Natalie, the girl bacs home. and the tender shadow of Jeanette, the girl who died for love before the story began.
 MT. Chamberlain has a gift for swift narration. This was shown in Home" and in a number of short stories. This newest novel fairly flies. The author dramatic instinct compels him to depend good deal on his readers imagination and thus to make them his partners in the story; 1t enables him to suppress tedious details and to leap forward to his situa- tion.
 In the beginning of the story the elder Leighton says: "Life to me- is like the train, lot of sections and lot of coup lings. When you're through with a car, side-track it and-yank out the coupling Like all philosophies it has it's flaw. Once In while your soul looks back and sees some long-forgotten, side-tracked car beckoning to be coupled on again If you try to go back and pick it up your re done. Never look back, boy; never look back"
 At the end of the story, the elder Leigh ton goes back to the scene of his first and only great love, and then he flees to Africa and elephant hunting for for getfulness. He is mortally wounded ''l went back for a side-tracked car" he writes his son. But the younger Leigh ton goes back to America for Natalie, and-well-the reader must learn the rest for himself
