GERMAN GRAIN EXPR OPRIATION
FIRST SINCE TIME OF PHARAOH
Order Brings War Home to Every Teuton
Observation-Disclosures Provides for
Reduction In Livestock.

BERLIN. January 81. via London
| The governmental order for the eX-
preparation Of all stocks of corn, wheat
and flour, which was announced most I'M
expectedly. is naturally the chief topic
Of discussion by the newspapers and the
people. All are inclined to accept it in
| the best spirit. and without grumbling, as
necessary measure to check the misuse
of grain stocks. which has been going on
despite the earlier governmental measure.
and to conserve the grain until the nexi
harvest.
The Tageblatt, however, is inclined to
crlticise the government for its delay in
nndlng out that the 1914 harvest was
only an average instead of a bumper crop.
as at first announced. and It's failure to
adopt long ago steps which are found
necessary.
Touches All Households.
The measure, which brings the war home
10 the Germans as nothing since the days
of mobilization, reaches right down to
the smallest household. Each family, no
upon to declare its stock of grain or flour
Quantities below 22O pounds are exempt
from seizure
The order was determined upon, it is
Tau Neiy stated, because OF the fact
that, in spite of all warnings and appeals.
the consumption Of bread made of wheat
and other -four showed no signs of de-
creasing. and was continuing at a rate
winch threatened the exhaustion of SUD-
plies before the next harvest
The available alternatives omen to
the government were either to allow
the natural rise in prices to check the
consumption. which would have thrown
the whole burden of war prices unon
the poorer people, or to eXpropriate the
supplies and thus insure equitable dis
trlbution at price which was not ex-
CeSsive.
Speculative Abuses,
Additional reasons for the ADOPTION
OF the second alternative were found in
speculative abuses. which, notwith-
standing the patriotism of the German
people in general. have been going on;
diregard of the regulation prescribing
an admixture of rye and potato flour
with wheat, and particularly the feed
inf grain to live stock
The measure provides for reduction
in the number of live stock, which at
the present time is the greatest on rec

ELECTRICITY MADE AT HOME
Explanation Of Simple and inexpensive
Way of Producing Electric
Sparks.

The ordinary person either does
not understand or is afraid of elec-
tricity and could scarcely be persuad-
ed to manufacture it himself, and
yet, after all, a little electrical expert
ment at home is both amusing and
instructive. All that you have to do,
says London Answers, is to take a
glass, expose it to the fire so that
it shall be perfectly dry and place
it upside down upon the table.
Afterward take a tray, also per-
fectly dry, and place it upon the glass
in such a way that it shall preserve
its equilibrium. Finally, take
sheet of paper slightly smaller than
the tray, heat it and rub it rapidly
with a brush and it will become
quickly electrified. Then place it
upon the tray.
An electrical machine will thus
have been constructed without any
expense. If the finger be brought
near the tray spark will appear.
This spark will be so much the
brighter and the series of sparks will
be so much the longer, in proportion
as the glass and tray are drier.
If, when the sparks are being
drawn from the tray, the room in
which the experiment is performed
be darkened, these sparks will appear
extremely brilliant.

CHECKS WORK OF THIEVES
Simple Bicycle Lcck Used in France
Said to Be One of the Best
Yet Devised.

An excellent method for locking
bicycles to prevent them from being
stolen is used in France, and it is
one of the easiest to fit on by a clever
amateur. The device is applied to
that part of the frame where the
front fork joins the main or upper
horizontal tube of the frame. On
the head of the fork is placed stout
collar, riveted on to prevent turning.
the collar having projecting wing
at the back so that this projects over
the horizontal bar. On the bar it.
self is placed a second collar having
a vertical projection which is pivoted
to the collar. The combination makes
one fixed and one movable wing
which can be brought together, and
a paddock is passed through holes in
each. The trick of the device is that
the first wing lies at slight angle.
due to the mounting of the collar, SO
that when locked, the front wheel no
longer lies straight, but somewhat in
clined, and in this way it is impos-
sible to ride the misunderstanding
American.

HELPED WHALE OIL TRADE
Mines Have Driven the Mammals in
Immense Droves Into NorWe-
gian Waters.

The war has filled the Arctic with
whales, according to the belief OF
some whalers, who say the mines.
torpedoes and shells in the North sea
have driven the mammals in schools
farther north this winter. One of
the large Norwegian whaling COM
panies has just distributed a divi-
dend of rs per cent among share
holders on this seasons catch. The
whale oil refneries of Norway are
sharing this prosperity.
While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway the reports of the
department of agriculture is disap-
pointing as to the amount of crops
yield, which falls about $2,O0O,000
below the average year. Fortunately
the quality of grain has been unusu-
ally good and the higher price, due
to the war, is to the advantage of the
farmers. The economic loss, how
ever, will be felt by the country. Hay
and potatoes were the only crops
reaching their normal yield.

NOT THE GIFT OF JOHN MUIR
California Redwood Forest Was Do
mated to Nation by Former
Resident of Chicago.

California numbers among its
many show places a redwood forest
known as Muir woods, in honor of
John Muir, who died recently. The
place is a national park, owned by
the United States government.
Credit for this circumstance was
ascribed to the late naturalist in
many of the accounts of his life and
death.
This, it seems, is a mistake. AS ad-
mirers of his have made plain in let
ters to newspapers, the man who
bought the forest and presented it to
the government in 1908 was Mr..
William Kent of Kentfeld, CAL, for
mer Chicagoan, banker, dealer in
lands and live stock, civic worker and
at present member of the national
house of representatives for the Sec
Ond district of California. Theodore
Roosevelt, then president, is said tc
have urged that the tract be called
Kent park, while the donor insisted
on the present title, declining tc
"stencil his name on a benefaction.
1t is asserted further that except for
the timely act of Mr.. Kent the for
est would have been cleared away by
a public utility corporation and
probably not one of the giant trees
in it would now be standing.
