Flood Trouble in South.

Texas and Oklahoma have had seri-
Gus trouble with floods this spring.
The railways in these two states have
been the heaviest sufferers as many
miles of track have been washed
away. High water has caused a great
deal of annoyance also, as trains have
been delayed for several hours because
it was found necessary in many in
stances to detour them The latest
flood victims in Texas were the Katy
and the International and Great
Northern. The trouble is somewhat
remedied now, although a great loss
has been sustained.

IT'S A FAKE THEORY
Child of One Man Won't Resemble
Male Parent of Another.

Paris, May 6.-The theory which
contends that all children of one wo-
man will resemble the father of the
first child, no matter who is the father
of the succeeding children, was de-
bated in the Academy of Medicine
when the welfare of women ,victimized
by German troops was discussed.
Hereditary experts agreed unani-
mously after testing the theory on diff

FIuctuation In currsnt Trade.

Hollands tulip craze recalls the
rush which developed in Greece some.
thing like thirty-five years ago. when
landowners staked their all on the fu.
ture of currants. After the vineyards
OF France had been ravaged by phyl-
Ioxera, there sprang up great de.
mand from that country for Greek
currants to 5e used in wine-making,
and prices scared to heights never be-
fore known in the currant trade. I'm
der this stimulus Greek landowners
all through the currant-producing
provinces uprooted their olive groves
and planted the lands to currants, un-
til within few years the acreage had
far more than doubled Then France,
having found means to combat the
phylloxera. placed upon currants a
prohibitiye import duty, thereby per-
manently shutting off from Greek cur
rant growers the market whose de-
mands had stimulated them to in
creased production. Immediate sup
ply overtopped demand in the worlds
currant market--this district, which
supplies the worlds currants, was pro-
ducing 80 per cent more fruit than
It could dispose Of Prices fell pre-.
cipitately. and for decades the currant
trade was in bad condition.

BIRDS FRIGHTENED BY WAR
Those Of seleIum Have Largely Die

Where are the birds Of Belgium?
Everyone who has known the Belgium
Of the past will ask himself this ques-
ton in thinking Of some of the ad-
mirabe Flemish restaurants he has
visited. For the Belgians were ma
ton OF bird eaters, and in this little
country as in Italy every variety OF
bird was pressed into service.
No one who has been through the
forests OF the Ardennes will fail TO re-
call how strangely silent they were,
how lacking in bird songs. for the
wholesale slaughter of the birds went
on until one wondered where the little
song birds appearing on their pieces
Of fried bread came from. Now with
the noise of battle over all the
land, the constant cannonading has
frightened away even the boldest OF
the native birds.
Grives were the aristocrats of Bel
gian game birds, and one of the most
delectable dishes known to the Bel
gian cuisine was grives a la Manu-
roise. Thousands of grives were
served daily in autumn in restaurants.
and as no Belgian dinner is considered
complete without a bird of some sort,
just where SO many came from always
remained mystery. A grive is a
thrush, but blackbirds and starlings,
SO nearly of the same size. often mas
queraded in the Belgian casseroles as
thrushes.

The partridges of Louvain were fa-
