ratical tactics have been practically eliminated. The improvement is com mendable, even though it was brought about only after the neutral world had condemned the kaiser for such acts of barbarfty.
 Germany attempts to make good for some of its misdeeds in this respect by offering compensation for the wrongs which 1t has committed. Such is possible when cargoes are con- cerned as in the case of the Dutch ship Rijndijk where it was proved by the fragments of a torpedo of Ger man manufacture that that country was responsible, but it is impossible for that country to restore the lives which have been taken in carrying out such a practice. The plea of a mistake under such circumstances fails to make much of an impression The very act and the failure to ob- serve the precautions which are de- manded under such circumstances shows the intent even though after the offense has been proved an at tempt is made to rectify it. Money cannot overcome the impression which German methods have left upon the world. Instead of rectifying such mistakes it is preferable that they should not be made.

years has superseded wheat, olices
 figs and vines. Barley is shipped mainly to England, but the crops are subject to great variations, owing to
 the uncertain rainfall.
 Much has been said in the press by Italian political writers about the grandiose prospects of the country These prospects are mainly based up- On the supposition that Tripolitania was. under the Roman empire, a prov ince of four}shinG agriculture and en- nor1nous wealth. There can be no doubt that Tripou once saw better days, although the accounts of some Of the ancient writers seem to be ex- aggerated. The causes of the decline arc manifold and far from clear. The oecIlne 3Ii commenced when Rorne.s pow CT began to weaken. The wild tribes of the desert. which had been kept down by force, took advantage of Rome's weakness and attacked the boundaries of the colony. The eIabor- ate system of irrigation could only
 work when there was absolute se- curity When peace was no longer assured. the agriculturtst was hinder ed in his york.
 "A second cause of the decline of the country-which is, however, still a point of controversy-is a. change in the climatic condition of the region. There is probably some truth in this assertion. Every man who has seen, in the midst of the desert the ruins of Roman castles and villas comes to the belief that some nightier power is re- spOnSible for such Q change. A great tragedy has been enacted here
 "A local tradition says that the bad behavior of the women prevents the clouds from giving rain. Apart from the drOUghts, which are sometimes Of five. seven and even ten years dur. atiOn, we find in the invading sand dunes another great enemy of agri- culture. Quite near to the palm gar- dens around the city of TripoIi one can see sand dunes rising to a height of about 70 feet.
 "SOme fifty years ago TripOIi de- served. with a certain right the grandiOse names of the Kev to Gen. tral Africa and the Queen of the Sa- hara' Today these glories are of the past. Once TrlpOH was the great en- nOrium of the trans-SahaTa, trade Not far from Europe. and by it's situation In the Svrt nearer to the heart Of Africa, # was the gateway of the trade with Central Africa. Large cara vans arrived laden with the goods nf the Sudan and the Niger countries. These goods were ostrich feathers. ivory. skins minerals and slaves. The slave traffic was the most renunera- tive article of that trade.
 'The decline of the trans Sahara trade began when the representatives of the European powers protested against slave trade.
 "Put more inDortant than all these causes just mentioned was the advent of European control of the NOger countries and FJausaIand. Shipping was started on the great rivers NO- ger and BinUe, and the communica- tiOns with the west coast Of Africa were greatly improved. The new route by shin and rail is safer. chaaD- CT. quicker than that of nearly 2OO0 miles across the Sahara where water is scarce and robbers abundant"

USE PIGWEED FOR BEER.
Peruvians Also Use It's Seed as Sub
 stituts For Oatmeal

Two species of pigweeds are regu- lar1y grown in the valleys that lead up to the Pass of Fla Raya, between Cuz- co and Lake Titicaca, in Peru. The largo species often contains a
 large species often attain a heiNnt of 3 or i feet and is called quinca, while the smaller species is called canihua- In eneraI appearance both species are much like our pigweed. but they are regularly planted and harvested by the Peruvians, and are the only seed crops grown in the elevated districts that arc 100 cold for maize, writes O. F. Cook, in the National Geographic Mag azine-
 Considering quinoa as a high-alti- tude substitute for maize means that it is valued chiefly for making beer, and in some, districts most of the crop is used in this way. The white quinoa makes an excellent breakfast food, and fairly comparable to oatmeal, and like ly to be preferred by many, both for the taste and texture. The seeds be- cone soft with cooking. but retain their form, and do not appear so slimy as oatmeal when treated in a similar manner. The chief use of Canihua is as a travel ration for the shepherds who go out on the high plaJeaus with their f1ocks of IIamas, aipacas and sheep.
