Flight of 1000 Miles.

The government biological survey calls
attention to the fact that the human
flier is still tar behind the bird IN point of
mechanical effiency.
Thus, for instance, the golden plover
flies all the way from its breeding grounds
in Alaska TO Hawaii, a distance OF 1000
miles. without alighting or pausing for
rest-the speed al which it travels beng
estimated at fifty miles an hour, so that
about forty hours, flying dav and night.
must be required TO accomplish The trip
The bird. considered as piece OF
mechanism, is far superior TO the best
flying machine yet made. II remains in
the air several times as long as the long
est endurance test Of an airplaine and the
difference in efficiency is enormous.
Less than two ounces OF fuel in the form
of a body fat suiiices 10 carry the plover
at high speed over that2 ,000-mile course.
A flying machine, to be equally econom-
ical, should be able 10 fly twenty miles
with single pint OF gasoline, instead of
the gallon now used by the latest models.
Nature is the best machine maker
The human body is far better machine
than any that man has ever constructed.
il will outlast five locomotives, or ten of
the most improved high-power motor
cars.

Alcohol FIays Armies.

II may be said that alcoholic insanity,
which is something quite different from
lntemperance and a totally disabling al
fair, becomes especially conspicuous
under war conditions In the Russo
Japanese War, one-third OF the Russian
officers who became insane became so
by reason OF alcoh oil.
Alcohol has always flayed armies.
In addition 10 the ineffciency and dis
ease which il causes during the soldiers S
service, it beguiles him at the period
when practically all habits are formed
Army organization might be an efficient
aid in the campaign against alcoholism.
II does what if can. II excludes alcohol
from its barracks and camps, but it meets
with very little cooperation on the part
of the civil community, as is shown by
the drinking resorts which collect in the
neiehborhood OF military posts.
Drinking should be made impossible
near large points OF concentration. For
tunately for the troops stationed lasted
summer along the Mexican border, Texas
had a local restriction regarding alcohol
which forbade the sale after 9p. m.
Even such a restriction was a great ben
etit and resulted in there being little al
cohollsm among the troops serving along
the Rio Grande.

Enforcing Health.

The general health OF the million OF
men. now engaged in the war in Europe
has been such as TO arouse the wonder
OF the world. In no other war has the
percentage Of illness been so low. The
reason is that every officer and every SOL
dier has to be more or less q sanitarian.
He must observe and practice certain
rigid rules OF personal hygieHe ever in
the daily lite in the trenches In France
bathing has prevented the spread OF many
diseases, especially typhus. AS rule
troops remain in the trenches only about
two weeks, and are then sent beck TO
rest and recuperate and TO undergo a
through cleaning. First OF all, they take
hot bath, and at the same time their
outer clothing IS disinfected with live
steam. After bathing they put on clean
stockings and underwear, and are then
free from lice, the special carriers Of
typtus fever. Typhoid. the scourge OF
former armies, has hardly showed itself,
because everyone has been vaccInated
for typhoid, camp waste is disposed OF in
sanitary ways, drinking water is chlor-
mated, food is carefully inspected and
flies are suppressed AS the bulletin Of
The Chicago School OF Sanitary Instruction
points out, the important element in the
personal hygiene and surroundings OF the
soldier in the field is the fact that he is
obliged to do the things that make for
his physical health and safety, so far as
protection from preventable sickness is
concerned. In civil life people often fail
to heed the warnings and injunctions of
The health officer. That's why preventive
measures do not always prevent. The
people who do obey health regulations
often have TO suffer for the sins Of the
careless or the ignorant who do not.

Autopsy Held On King Dead For 200
Years,

An autopsy on King Charles XII,
Sweden's warrior king killed in battle al
most two hundred years ago. TO determine
whether the shot through the temples,
which caused his death, came from the
enemy's lines or from an assassin among
his own men, has just been made in
an effort TO solve one of the mysteries OF
history. II the bullet entered the right
temple il would indicate that il came from
Fredriksnad fortress before which the
kings forces lay entrepched. while shot
from the opposite direction would show
that il was fired by traitor in his own
ranks.
The scientists have not yet announced
their conclusions and will not until they
have made an effort 10 fit together the
pieces OF bone taken from the wound. but
The indications are that the bullet entered
the right temple aud came therefore from
the enemy. The wound on the right side
is comparatively small as i! made by an

blown entirely away and the left side OF
the skull shattered as would be caused
by the missile as il emerged
The kings body was examined in the
old knights Church where it lay in a
simple coffin. Il was covered with lin
en- shroud with the arms at the side, the
fingers meeting across the waist. the
hands encaSed in faded yellow gloves.
On the head was laurel wreath placed
there in January, l7l9, the day he was
buried. Those who viewed the dead
king were struck by his masteriul count
enance still bearing through all the years
the look OF leader oi men.
The wound, covered by patches OF lin
en-, was found 10 consist OF cleit IN the
skull beginning at the left corner OF the
left eye and extending at an angle OF about
IS degrees upward 10 the right for about
three inches. a triangular piece OF bone

Give Up Potatoes For Other Foods.

NV ~ EoeoeoSo W SeuST TOOUSs
Potatoes are not now the "poor
mans food" says R. w. Thatcher,
chief of the division of agricultural
biochemistry, University Farm. Po-
tatoes contain, on the average, IS per
cent of water and % per cent of
actual food material. A bushel of po-
tatoes, therefore, contains only a little
over 13 pounds of actual food sub
stance. At the present retail price of
potatoes, $500 bushel, each pound
of food which they contain costs over
"a cents. A pound of rice which con-
tains 88 per cent of food and II per
cent OF water costs 81s cents, so that
one pound Of food almost exactly like
that in potatoes can be bought as rice
for little less than 10 cents. A ten
cent loaf of bread contains about ~
ounces of food and ounces of water:
hence pound of food as bread, which
is a much better balanced food than
either rice or potatoes, can be bought
for l21s cents. Wheat flour furnishes
pound of food at cost of 6 cents.
!. At present prices, potatoes are four
times as costly as wheat -four, twice
as expensive as bakers bread, and
two and half times as expensive as
rice, the food which most closely re-
sembles them in the character of food
furnished. People can we'll afford to
stop eating potatoes altogether until
the price falls to less than half what
it is at present.
