Sam Has sunIit Nation, Too.

shall not forget my first sight of the Aleutian islands, writes Frank C.. Carpenter from Alaska. We had passed no land for two days when we came to the Island of Unimak, which is at the end of the Alaska peninsula and which forms the beginning of the great chain of islets that reaches from Alaska almost to Asia. The islands lie in a great crescent which look like stepping stones on the face of the sea. They form the arc of great circle reaching from the western to the east ern hemisphere. Unimak lies on our side of the world and Attu, the last of our islands, Is in the orient, 1,5OO miles distant and not far from Kam- chatka. We have a coaling station on the Island of Kiska, which Is in the eastern hemisphere, and there the evening twilight has not disappeared when the sun Is rising in Maine. John Bull often boasts that the sun never sets on British possessions. The same Is true of Uncle Sam's dominions, when we take in Attur island and the Philippine archipelago.

BIG CANALS IN MESOPOTAMIA
Bagdad Once Had the Most Remark. able System of Irrigation That
 Has Ever Been Constructed.

Many years ago great irrigation schemes enabled Mesopotamia, Ar menia and other countries in the near and middle East to become the seats of empires in spite of their arid cli- mates. Today writes Dr. Arthur Sei- wyn-Brown in the Scientific American, they have few cities of any importance. Bagdad, which has a population of about 150,0OO, had 100000 ten cen turies ago. The difference between Mesopotamia then and today IS the result of the destruction of the canals.
 In the height of its prosperity Bag dad had the most remarkable system of irrigation that has ever been constructed. The canals about the city measured over 5000 miles in length.
 There are others, both north and south of the city, that joined the Eu- pirates with the Tigris, and there were several that ran parallel with the rivers.
 The largest was known as the Chosroos canal. It was built in early historical times to connect Bagdad with the city of Dur, about 1OO miles north. Whenever this canal passed through loose soil 1t was over 200 feet in width and six feet deep. Where the ground became rocky it was reduced to a width of 40 or 50 feet.
 Between Dur and BasSora ther9 were over 50 trunk canals between the Tigris and the Euphrates, and they IT, rigated 37,O0O square miles of rich farming land.

Sea.SaIt as Fertilizer.

Close observers at the Royal Agri- cultural Station of Magyar-Ovar, Hun gary, find that sea-salt markedly ar fleets certain crops. It is generally supposed that sea-salt Is poisonous to plant life-an impression strengthened by the fact that many parts of the country near the sea are barren. Some plants, however, thrive well on soii that has been washed by the sea, and the Hungarian experiments seem to prove that certain quantity of sea salt acts as a stimulant to crops Tn general. The investigators fertilized some beet-sugar fields with sea-salt and got astonishing crops. The experi- ments will be continued, although the results for the last four years have been uniformly the same.

DRAINAGE DUE TO MOSQUITO
Savlno of Millions Results From De- termination of Status of Insect
 by Army Hospital Corps.

The National Chamber of Commerce declares that had not the hospital corps of the army definitely deter mined the status of the mosquito and thus caused menaeing swamp lands to be drained, 1t 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 agri- cultural purposes. There are approxi- mately 10O,000,OO0 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 blow share. The only value of swamp land lies in its possibility of reclamation ; otherwise 1t Is serious liability us a breeder of disease.-Leslie's Weekly.

How Nature Proteets Orchids.

Orchids are the most skilled of all plants in the art of stimulation. They choose for imitation some insect, bird oisnnimal free from danger. Some or chids initiate poisonous spiders. The fly orchid and the bee orchid are ex- amples which initiate so skillfuily that trained scientists are often at fault in detecting the deception.

Cattle Raising Possibilities.

Utilization of the South's cut over lands for live stock production will meet a worldwide demand and will perform a service of world wide benefit, declared Geo. M. Rommell, chief of the animal hus- bandry division of the United States department of agriculture, in an address at New Orleans be- fore a conference of the recently organized Southern Cut-Oyer Land association on The Necessity for Increased Meat Production. ,
 The section of the United States of greatest promise for the future development of meat pro- duction is the southeast of the Mis- sissippi. the states of Louisiana and Arkansas, and the eastern part of Texas" said MT. Rommel. In addition to the partially used farm ing lands of this region, here lie millions of acres of cut-oyer tim Der lands now practically unused, to which large areas are being an- nually added.
 The area of these lands is esti- mated at approximately z6,OOO,- GOO acres, to which the cutting of timber is adding about 1O,OOO,OOO acres each year. Eventually the total extent of the cut-over timber lands in the South will be in the neighborhood of 5OO,OOO,OOO acres, which is greater than the present unsettled public domain of the United States. The utilization of these lands is therefore very much in the nature of a public ob- ligation.
 To get enough competent men to develop these areas for cattle or sheep ranchng will be a serious problem but not an insoluble one. To get approximately half a million farmers to develop 16O-acre homesteads or a quarter of a mill i ion to develop 52O-acre home steads is practical impo 5sibility There are approximately six million farmers in the United States. If the drafting of small percentaoe of their employe into the army is working a hardship on the owners, what hope is there then to get nearly 10 per cent of the owners of farms elsewhere to undertake the agricultural development of these cut-over lands.
 Finally, the problem seems to resolve itself into question of whether the Nation and the world needs most the live stock which these lands can produce or the crops which may be grown on them. The live stock shortage is an undisputed fact. So far as crop production is concerned, let the experience of the settler on irri- gated or dry farm land in the West bear witness. What those men fear most is competitor and what they need most is an opportunity to market the products of their farms by way of live stock.
 In plain English, neither the Nation nor the world needs the fruit and vegetable products which these lands could grow, but they do need the animal products which they can give us. Stated as a formal logistic syllogism, our con- clusion is: Live stock can be raised on these lands; the worlds supplies of animal products are not equal to it's necessities; therefore, he utilization of these lands for live stock production will meet worldwide demand and will per form service of worldwide bene- ft.'
