been that Germany had full knowledge
of all Austria's plans and stood unre-

Germany. however. has denied the

BERN, Switzerland. August 2.-(De-
layed)-All dispatches received here point
to the growing difficulty of the situation
in Poland and it is doubtful whether the
conference of Chancellor Michaelis, Count
Czernin and Gen. Won Beseler can satisfy
the increasing demands of the Polish
leaders unless radical changes are made
in the present program. The conflict is
nearing a crisis because of the arrest of
Joseph pilsudski, brigadier general of the
Polish legion, and member Of the Polish
council of state.
Germans say that his arrest was the
result of his forming a secret organiza-
tion of legionaries directed against the
official organization of Polish legions.
1t was feared that this might lead to
revolution throughout Poland against
the central empires as well as giving
aid to Russia. Many officials in the Pill
sudski organization also were arrested.
The Germans say that Pilsudski was
responsible for the refusal of the ma
to be more than 1000
out of 6,000-legionarieS to take the
oath of allegiance to the future Polish
king as well as present obedience to
the representative of the central
powers. This oath was agreed to by the
Polish council of state while Pilsudski
was a member.

Expectations of the Kitchen.

Cooking is such practical everyday work that it seems strange for super stitiOns. to invade the kitchen. Yet probably there is not a cook in the world who would venture to stir any sort of mixture, from a eustard to- a gravy, in any other direction than with the sun." Many a cook will tell you that a custard will curdle if stirred in the opposite direction, and that cake will be heavy if the mix ture be not always worked round sum- wise.
 It is a common saying that if the crank of a churn be reversed-after turning it in the proper direction for a time-all the work will be undone. In some parts of the country, when butter does not come easily, live coal is placed under the churn, "so as to save it from bewitchment."

Marvellous Strength Shown
 By Insects in Proportion
 To Their Size Explained.

An insect measuring 2A inches can draw little wagonette of tin weighing nearly 1% pounds. Increasing the weight by one-half, the insect can con- tinue to drag it's load few more paees. In other words, it can drag 45 times it's own weight.
 One leg of this same insect, when at tached to dynamometer, was able to move weight of half pound. If q man weighing 125 pounds were to per form the equivalent of this feat he would have to lift 1,250 pounds with one hand.
 Another insect of the Hercules" va- riety, weighing three ounces, was able to support on it's back brick weighing over pound. A human being, If sub jeeted to proportionate weight, would be crushed.
 The ordinary housefy can lift q match between two of it's feet and carry it. A human being, to perform a similar feat, would have to lift q beam SA yards in length and 16 inches thick.
 What is the secret of this marvellous strength of creatures so tiny and de- fenseless that one can kill them with one finger?
 Prof. A. Schmidt points out that gravity and atmospheric pressure have everything to do with it. Also, in or der to compare the weights drawn by
 
 different animals, 1t is necessary to re- duce the weight carried to the same thickness as the animals muscles But the muscles of insects are by no means abnOrmally thick, nor are they larger in proportion than the muscles of man or other animals. Therefore, an animal ten times the size of an insect should be able to carry 100 times as heavy a load, owing to the relative size of the muscles. But instead of carrying d heavier load they carry much smaller load approximately than the insect.
 This is because the animal ten times larger than the insect has 1000 times the mass to carry. This fact explains the strength of insects and the com parative weakness of the elephant.

Suuar Palms Product.

From the sugar palm in the southern part of French Indo-China the natives obtain both food and drink. the latter a kind of wine. However, the princi- pal product of the tree Is sugar. Sev. eral varieties of this palm are exploit ed by the natives. The tree attains height of fully 20 feet, but cannot be tapped to any advantage until fifty or sixty years of age, when it begins to flower. The flowers. which generally appear at the end of branches, are cut open, and the sap which exudes is col leeted in little bamboo cups. Some times a single flower will produce a quart and half of sap daily for a month, but the average is about a quart-each day per tree during the four or five months of inhorescence.
