Swamp Lands.

The national chamber of commerce
declares that had not the hospital
corps of the army definitely determin-
ed the status of the mosquito and thus
caused menacing swamp lands to be
drained it is an open question whether
the building of the Panama canal
would have been possible.
In following up this work we find
that the United States in draining
breeding places of the mosquito has
reclaimed thousands of acres of land
and made them available for ayricll-
tural purposes. There are approx.
mately l00,000,000 acres of swamp
lands in the country where for years
the mosquito has held undisputed
sway. of which 75.000,000. or about
one-eighth Of the total area of the
country, can be reclaimed for the pow-
share. The only val; @ Of swamp land
lies in its possibility Of reclamation;
otherwise It Il II serious liability AZ Il

Modern =, eadnauohts,

Beyond ali doubt modern dread
naughts represent the highest level Of
controlled strength that the human
race has yet seen. The fact that 5000
tons or more Ut metal can be driven
through water at the speed Of an ex-
press train while its big guns hurl
shells weighing three-quarters of Il
ton 10 Il distance of twenty miles is Il
miracle in mechanism.
During the evolution of the warship
to its present state of efficiency marine
engineers have been faced with the
problem OF protecting vital parts of the
vessel from the ever increasing hitting
power of large shells. In other words,
the fighting value depended upon its
ability to take as well as give hard
knocks. Some idea of the difficulty
may be gathered from the fact that n
fifteen inch shot strikes n blow ut its
maximum point of speed capable Of
lifting $4,000 tons foot from the
ground.-IOndon Standard.

And the fairies may have vanished,

I hear them in my fancy, and it's hand

Dear Evelyn:-Your Sunday din
ners were such unbalanced meals.
When. you had beef, chicken, ham,
eggs, potatoes, and macaroni you
had what we called an "unbalanced'
meal, because it contained too much
protein. Then when you had meat,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, bread,
corn, meal bread, and wheat pudding
with custard. sauce, your meal CON
tanned too much starch. Here is a
balanced meal: Beef, potatoes,
