Army Grows Its Potatoes.

The British army has started to
grow its own potatoes. Instructions
have been sent, or are being sent, from
the war office to every command, indi-
eating the lines which should be fol-
lowed.
Military requirements are very large,
and little more than half the usual
supplies of potatoes are coming into
the markets, with the result that pre-
war prices to the public are nearly dou-
bled.
At one camp in Surrey digging opera
tons began recently, and the seed po-
tatoes are to be planted in few days
in rows between the huts. A number
of men are being told off each day for
digging, and others are being asked to
help in spare time. At a camp in
Yorkshire potato growing began some
weeks ago. 1t is understood that instruc-
tons will soon be issued for the grow
Ing of vegetables.

A Silent Salesman.

Many manufacturers of machinery
that is too heavy or too bulky to be
sent for inspection to prospective
customer now give their travelling
statesmen sets of motion pictures that
show exactly how the machines work,
According to the Engineering Maga-
zine, the statesmen carry small, light
motion-picture projectors that can be
connected with the lighting circuit i'll
the office of the customer. A blank
wall serves for screen. Since the
motion picture is Independent of the
seasons, the statesmen can show n har-
vester at work in winter or a seeder
or planter in the fall. The films also
help to overcome the instructive oppo-
sition that many buyers of machinery
and equipment display toward new ap-
paratus and new methods. Such men
will not listen to the salesman or go
to see the new machine in operation,
but they will look at the motion pic
cures.-Youth's Companion.

Flowers of the Sea.

Like the land. the sea has it's flow
ers, but the most brilliant of the ma
rine flowers bloom not upon plants but
upon animals. The living corals of
tropical seas present display of floral
beauty that in richness and vividness
of color and variety and grace of form
rivals The splendof Of a garden of
flowers. The resemblance to blossoms
is so complete that some persons find
it difficult to believe that the brilliant
display contains no element of plant
life, but is wholly animal in it's Or
ganiZation.
Among the sea animals that bloom
as if they were plants are included,
besides corals, the sea anemone and
the sea cucumber. 1t has been re-
marked that the birds and butterflies
of the upper world are replaced by
fishes of curious forms and flashing
colors which dart about among the
animal flowers.
