On July 13 Prof. Skinner, of the

6S men, which he estimates had been
buried at least 700 or 500 years. The
average height indicated by the skel-
etons was seven feet, but many were
taller. Evidence of the gigantic size
of these men was seen in huge axes
found beside the bones.-The Chris

POTATO JAM A REALITY
That Ii One OF The Possibilities Be-
fore Us, Scientists Say.

A Parkville (Mo.) dispatch to the
Kansas City Star leads one to believe
that the day is at hand when the Irish
potato and the strawberry will be
equally esteemed as fruit; when the
cherry and the cabbage will lie side
by side In the preserve kettle; when
the artichoke. the ounce, the per-
simmon and the parsnip will vie with
one another in lusciousness and
food value and will be displayed
without distinction in the stall of
the dealer in fancy fruits as we'll as
in the bins of the green grocer.
And In that day, furthermore, the
desert will blossom like rose, the
waste places of the earth shall be
made glad, the nightingale shall sing
in the wilderness and the sugar beet
and the papaw shall lie down 'togeth-
er. And all this is promised by
Prof. Howard Dean, a teacher of
chemistry at Park College, who has
made a revolutionary speech before
the Missouri Valley horticultural
Society.
The professor proclaims that by
feeding certain plants on formalde-
hyde they can be made to develop
sugar and starch. His Investigations
show that plants manufacture COM
pounds that are not normal in them.
He has already succeeded in reduc-
ing the starch of a potato to sugar
by chemical treatment. And chem
lists are searching the leaves of
plants In an effort to find the agent
which converts the carbon dioxide
in the air and the moisture into
plant products. These chemists may
be trembling on the verge Of the
great discovery.
The Investigator asserts that when
the secret is found the finder will
possess an unlimited source of ener-
gy. Man can convert the suns pow
or to his own uses. Plants can be
grown so that they will taste exact
ly as the grower desires them to
taste-potatoes may acquire the
flavor of cantaloupes and carrots will
approximate pomegranates. And it
will be possible to fill the desert OF
Sahara with plant life. SO that the
nations of the earth will be able to
get a menu from soup to nuts and
a bottle of wine thrown in. at less
than the cost of ham sandwich.
The millennium is coming again
at least for the far-sighted investors
who are getting options on acreage
in the Sahara-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

USING BUTTERFLIES FOR
DECORATIVE PURPOSES

The collecting Of rare and beauti-
full butterflies is ordinarily thought
of as the interesting though not par
ticularly profitable task of a natural
list. but in Boston there is a woman
who has transformed butterfly col
lecting into a commercial enterprise
yielding handsome profits. For this
woman's unusual line of trade a
force of trained collectors. scatter
ed over all parts OF the world, is en-
gagged in gathering no less than 700,-
900 specimens year. She was first
interested in this work through the
work of her husband, who was a
Harvard entomologist. Now instead
of these exquisite insects being
mounted for scientific collections on
ly, they are used chiefly for decora-
tive purposes In a score of different
ways by jewellers, florists, modistes,
and others.-From the December

RUMANIAN KING MAY
LOSE PRIVATE FORTUNE

Budapest, Dec. 1.-The Bucharest
Independence Roumaine reports that
the entire private fortune of the Ru-
manian royal family is deposited in
the Deutsche Bank and other large
banks in Germany. The deposits
amount to three or four million dol
lars and will now probably be con-
fiscated by the German government.
When King Ferdinand saw that he
could no longer resist the pressure of
Russia and the war clamor of a large
part of his people, he tried to with
draw his deposits, but the German
banks refused to transfer them to
Swiss banking houses.

Islands there will remain to her only
two colonial observation-disclosures and
Iceland. which have an aggregate area
more than five times as large as the

ty-seventh the population. The 13S
square miles OF Denmark's West Indian
territory sustain nearly three times as
many people as the 46, 740 square miles
Of Greenland.
Naval officers regard the Danish
West Indies as most valuable for any
European government wishing to quar-
rel with the United States, and have
urged it was essential to the largest
degree to keep them from falling into
unfriendly hands. They have pointed
out that they are very near the naval
station at Guantanamo, only a thou

Ragsdale's suggestion that provision for

given the Commissioners of the Dis
tricr all the jurisdiction over school
buildings when used for public forum
purposes. thus taking away from the
board of education any authority in
the matter, but leaving them with the
entire responsibility of the property.
The bill as reported today provides
that the authority and responsibility
shall rest entirely with the board of

hearing at which Miss Margaret Will
son appeared as the leading advocate

The bill provides that twenty adult
persons, all being parents of children
enrolled as pupils in public scrool,
may organize for a community forum
purpose and receive the permission of
the board of education to use the
neighborhood school.
Board Must Cooperate.
The bill makes it necessary that the
board Of education shall cooperate
with the community forum and make
all necessary arrangements in the
school building for the comfort of the
meetings.
The real consideration" bill, which
is measure well known in the District
OF Columbia for several years past, speci-
fies that it shall be unlawful Tor the re-

trict unless it is accompanied by a state
ment, subscribed and sworn to, setting out
the entire and real consideration actually
passed between the buyer and seller.
The bill provides that mo considera-
