SILK PRODUCTION IS
 SUFFERER THROUGH WAR


 Tok1o. April 25.-The worlds silk production is sufferfng 2s result of tha war;, according to information gathered by the Japanese Department of Agriculture and Commerce. Re ports show that the main sericultura1 countries in western Europe in the Near East, and Asia Minor had all ready been affected when the rearing of spring worms was due last year. In most of these countries many la borers had gone ito the batt1efields. the reAxing rooms we're requis1tioned for military purposes and the mulber- ry plantations trodden by the soldiery Thus in many districts it was impos- sfBEe to rear the worms. Since the out break Of war the worlds raw silk market has been in 2. depressed con- dition.
 No complete reports are yet avail able as to the result in China but it is certain that the cocoon crop has shown a great decrease over that in the previous year. On the whole, the official report concludes that the worlds sericulture during last year was seriously affected by the war as well as by the abnormal weather. The same can also be said about Japan Therefore, the worlds silk supply for the present year is expected to be re- markedly limited.

PRINCE OF MONACO1S ARMY, 86 STRONG, HAS
 DESERTED MONTE CARLO

Monte Carlo, April 25.-The old Guard of Honor of the prince of Mon aco, four officers and s2 men, which constituted the military force of the principality in pre-war times, has dis appeared since the European war came, for the whole gendarnie of Monaco was recruited from abroad, and the members were all either FrenchTnen or Italians They have now been called to the co1ors of their respective countries, so that neutral Monaco found itself suddenly without adequate protection. Then the peo- pie volunteered for service, but to prove their independence as well as their dislike for militarism, they wear no uniform. merely their ordinary ci- viIian costume and a. sred-and-white woolen arn1et.
 In front of the main entrance to the Palace stands a sentry, a 16-year old boy, leaning on an old pattern rifle, it's fixed bayoner towering sew era1 feet above his head. He is dress ed in nondescript tweed suit, very baggy at the knees, and wears no car fridge belt, merely the red d-and-white arm1et
 Yet Monaco is not entirely neutral Many of it's youth have entered the French Foreign Legion, and the Heir Apparent, Prince Louis, holds a com mission in a, French regiment.

INDIAN RUPEE
 IS MADE LEGAL
 TENDER IN EGYPT

Cairo, Egypt, April 25.-The Indian rupee has just been made legal ten der in Egypt, and large quantities of the coins have been brought into cir cuIation.
 There has for some time been a shortage of silver and other change in Egypt owing to the great influx of troops A considerable quantity of newly Tninted Egyptian coin was brought from England last year, but it proved insufficient to meet the To- cal demand. Some of the consign- ments brought from England were lost at sea, and since it would take some time to replace them, the Egyp- tian government decided for a, time at least to use the Indian rupees, large quantities of which are available. The innovation is only a provisional one until sufficient new coin can be mint ed in England and sent out

WAR AND CUPID

One of the results of the war will be to necessitate many changes in the matrimonial projects of European rulers for their sons and daughters. One of the most charming of the maidens whose destinies have thus been changed by the war is the Prin- cess Victoria Alexandra Alice Mary, the only daughter of King George and Queen Mary. The Princess Mary, as she is usually called, begins her twen- tieth year tomorrow, having .been born on April 25, 1897. Even before the war was dreamed of English n1atchnakers had discussed a suit able marriage for the pretty 1.-the Princess. The war has greatly re- duced the number of eligible princes of suitable age from whom Princess Mary may choose. Prince George of Greece, the eldest son and heir Of King Constantine was freauent1y mentioned as a desirable husband for Princess Mary, but the relations be- tween Great Britain and the Hellenic
 monarch have become so scraInec by war as to render such a match un- likely. An alliance with a German prince was looked upon as very prob able before the war, but it has now become impossible. Among the Teu- tons mentioned before the war as possible sJ1itors for the hand of Prin- cess Mary were Prince Sigismu urld, the son of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the Kaiser; the Crown Prince Josiah of WaIdeck; Princes Sigisnund, Leopold and Charles of Prussia, nephews of the Duchess of Connaught; Princes Stephen and Henry of Schaum mburg-Lippe, and the sons of Prince Frederick Charles Of iHesse, a brother=in-1aw of the Kaiser. It is possible that a, Danish prince may be the fortunate main to win the heart of the Princess.

REAL HORSE POWER.

Here, you high school students, is a fine mathematical probleh based on a feat performed in San Francisco one day in February The feat which we describe was performed on a. Sunday, so as to avoid the congested wagon and motor truck traffic of the week days.
 Thousands of cburch-goers and Sabbath morning pedestrians watched two 4o-horse teams pulling two giant cable reels mounted on huge trucks from the American Steel & Wire lCo., Sixteenth and Folsom streets, to the plant of the California Street Railway 1 Co., Hyde and California streets.
 The largest of the cables. including the great reel carriage, weighed l26 tons. Horsepower, as is generally known, is a standard theoretical unit of the rate of work, equal to 3S,Oo0 pounds lifted one foot high in one minute.
 The 40 horses moved the giant cable of 26 tons. or 52.0OO pounds, a mile and a half, or 1920 feet, in 50 min utes.
 The problem is how much horse power was actually expended during the moving of the cable.
 The largest cable is Is, 900 feet long. It will be used in California street be- tween Prestdio avenue and Hyde St.
  is 1A,0oO feet long. It will be used to pull cars between Drumms and Hyde streets. The two cables cost $10,00O, and their lifetime covers about 15 months. A6
 Forty Horse Team.
 The forty dray horses, presenting a superb array of animal strength, com nanded the admiration of the thou sands of on1ookers. At corners the crews of each truck, consisting of three drivers and two brakemen,, dis played their traffic generalship
 It was nevcessary to swing the trucks around corners by sending the orses over the curve ten abreast. Even leverage was thus nrought to bear on the mast-like truck tongues. Ten men assisted alongside each truck No accident occurred in spite of five grades encountered along the mile and-a-ha1f journey.
 Several Sunday-school meetings were disturbed through the children being attracted to the windows by the rum bling of the passing loads, but on the whole the long pull was accom- plished with the absence of much squeak king and groaning.
 Traffic on the main highways was not interfered with, the horses digging in with their iron-shod hoofs snort ing cones of vapor from their nostrils giving them the appearance of dash ing chariot steeds.
