full minutes duration. He knew that
1t might end at any moment in an at

There followed another silence. It
was broken by the tread Of light feet,

Making Soap from Sugar.

The discovery is announced of a
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar. of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce.
In the past it has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little val

the soap produced Is not fine and dell
cate. but IT acts as efficiently In salt
water as in fresh-a fact that may
make the soap valuable for the navy.

The Whale and the Eagle.

There are two animals that puzzle
naturalists more than any others. They
are Natures submarine and aeroplane
the whale and the eagle. 1t is known
that whales occasionally descend as
far as 1900 feet below the surface of
the sea-a depth at which, from the
pressure of water, they ought to be
crushed fiat. Why they are not in
jured naturalists have yet to discov-
err. 1t is this pressure that prevents
a modern submarine from descending
more than some 800 feet. Eagles have
been seen. through telescopes, to fly
with apparent ease from 10000 to 49,
600 feet above sea level. At that
height no human being can live, ow-
ing to the rarefication of the air. How
the birds live and fly at far greater
heights than man can endure is an
other question still unanswered

Six Flags Have Flown Over
The Territory That Now Is
Included in State of Texas

Six flags have flown over Texas, in
Guiding the banners of three foreign
powers France, Spain and Mexico.
First came the French flag, which was
carried down the Mississippi river to
the Gulf of Mexico by the intrepid La
Sale; following this was the Spanish
emblem, first thrown to the breeze I'M
der the direction of the franciscan
priests; then came in succession the
Mexican flag and the Lone Star en-
blem Of the Republic of Texas.
The Stars and Stripes followed the
Lone Star, but was supplanted for a
time by the Stars and Bars Of the
Confederacy.
In the struggle for ascendancy
among these various groups, 1t is need
less to say that much blood has been
spilled and countless tragedies have
taken their places on the pages of his
tory.
The history of the Republic of Texas
is one of the most unique examples of
national sovereignty that the world has
ever seen.
A province of 10000 people won in
dependence from nation of several
millions. But these 10000 were gen.
orally men of sturdy AngIo-American
stock.
A few years later these same fearless
and independent Texans voluntarily
gave up their sovereignty to become
one of the galaxy of stars under the
banner of the United States.

the same, excepting that tulips take
more time than the others.
Here are few hints:
A six-inch pot is the best for all
purposes.
Use light garden soil in potting.
Place a piece OF broken pot over the
hole in the bottom to secure free drain
age.
Fill the pot three-quarters with soil.
Three hyacinths, as many narcissus,
five tulips and dozen crocuses can
be placed in six-inch pot.
Space evenly.
The practice of placing a. layer of
clean sand directly under the bulbs is
always good. 1t helps keep the newly
formed roots clean, but it is not es-
sential to success. A dark corner of
the cellar is a good place to place the
pots. The keeping of the soil damp
is thereby aided. In the winter prop
er some of the quick-growing species

so that it just touches the bottoms of
the bulbs, and set in dark place un-
til the glass is filed with roots. Then
bring into the room, and change the
water once or twice week. Tempera-
ture of from go to Go degrees is about
right for the venture.
Personally, like to experiment with
bulbs. The results are usually assured
with small care.

WAR THREATENS FLOWERS
BY ELIZABETH VAN HENTHuYsEN


1t is good, far cry from the grim
horrors Of war to the pretty hyacinth
and the crocus, but recent news brings
the. interesting information that the
great European conflict is presenting
a serious menace to the chief source
Of imported bulbs.
Private advices received in New
York from flower folk in Holland,
who cannot be considered as preju-
diced or even interested in the larger
affairs of state, say that there is dam
ger of having the bulb supply for the
next half century destroyed. Holland
has her army ready to fight either
side, and she has a number of issues
which might make her entry possible.
AS a first item of defense she plans
to flood all the lands in her dixie sys-
tenn.
This, say the flower experts, will re-
suit in the destruction Of the great
bulb industry. Not for so years, ac-
cording to the sages of fowerdom,
will the industry recover from such a
calamity.
All of which is but news preface
to the remark that the raising of bulbs
in pots, pans and glasses during tine
winter months is simple and mex
pensive process if one is fairly care
full of the requirements. Among the
many methods by which bulbs can be
successfully grown, there are:
In soil placed in pots and pans, with
drainage at the bottom.
In fiber, which is light, spongy ma
terial, prepared with view to prevent
souring. Bowls. jardinieres, vases or
any other receptacles where the roots
can take hold may be used.
In water, with pebbles or sand in the
bottom of glasses, to prevent the bulbs
from falling over.
Hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils, tu-
lips and crocus are among the joys
that are easily possible with little eff
fort. Almost every dealer in the coun-
try has his stock of bulbs ready for
the market.
If forcing is wanted. the larger bulbs
should be taken. They grow larger
and stronger flowers. The last Of No
vember is not too late for planting,
and the treatment of all bulbs is about
