OAK IS A NORTHERN TREE
None Of That Species to Be Found in
Africa, Nor in South America or
Australasia.

The oak family has been mentioned
sent extensions southwark, as, with
several hundred species known. there
are none in Africa south of the Medi-
terranean region, nor i'll southern
South American or Australasia. A re-
markable variety of forms in Mexico
has been revealed by the recent stu
dies reported by Prof. William Ire
lease to the National Academy of Sci
ences. Instead of two principal di-
visions of American oaks, Professor
TreleaSe finds three-Leucobalanu
the white oaks, Erythrobalanus, the
red or black oaks, and PrCtObalanus, a
probably more ancient type with inter
mediate characteristics; and the total
of American species Includes 40 of
white oaks, 40 of red, and only of
Protobalanus. With total of Us spe-
cies, Mexico has 121 OF white oaks,
10 of red, and Of ProtobaIanus.
The ri species in the United States
include 10 of white oaks, rs Of red,
and Of ProtobulanUs, and Central
America has 20 species Of white and
- Of red oaks; but South America has
only + species of req oaks; and a sin
gle species of white oaks is all that is
known in the West Indies. About 40
species of American oaks have been
traced in Cretaccous and Tertiary fos-
sis. Professor Trclease thinks the
American oaks now existing-diverSC
rs they are-may have all descended
from single late Tertiary type, and
that they have. developed without di.
rect connection With European oaks.

FOOLISH IDEA ABOUT EGGS
Many Have Mistaken Notion That the
White Ones Are So Much Su-
perior to the Brown.

Because an egg has white shell. it
is no better than an egg with a brown
shell. The popular impression to the
contrary is a childish notion costing
the housewife many a penny. It is a
good time to get this foolish idea out
of our heads.
The white egg may be more attrac-
tive to look upon than it's brown sis
ter or brother, but that is all. 1t is
not more nutritious. And just because
it is Il fad the grocer gets n higher
price for it-from 10 to IS cents q
dozen, rs a rule.
If eggs were used for decorative pur-
poses, there might be some excuse for
the greater popularity of the white
ones. But on any other ground no.
SO, when your grocer offers you white
lcghorn' eggs at 30 cents Il dozen. and
in the next basket are brown ones,
just 2s fresh, take the latter. And
then, again, the chances are that the
white leghorn" eggs were never laid
by white leghorn hens. There are not
enough white leghorn hens in the
country, however industrious they may
be, to produce half the eggs credited
TO them.
The grocer may have his little joke,
perhaps. But when it comes to eggs,
YOU needn't let him have it ut your
expenses. Remember That eggs are
just cggs.-New York Globe.

What Might Have Stopped Her.

Robert had spent much Of his sum-
mar in his fathers new car, and was
quite we'll varsed in automobile terms.
About seven O'Clock one night a friend
telephoned She was coming over 10
spend the evening. She lived only six
blocks away, and, rs always, would
walk. But by 5 $50 She had not ar
rived although we knew she had
started, FOR her mother had telephoned
70 speak to her, thinking she was at
our house.
Il thought that girl was coming over
here tonight" remarked Robert, play
ing on the floor at my feet.

she must have stopped somewhere on
The way"
Il guess she had puncture," said
Robert, casuaily.-Chicago Tribune.

Mountains That Move.

The results Of geodetic studies by
British scientists in the lIimaIayas
and the Tibetan mountains indicate an
apparent creeping of these gigantic
mountain ranges, the greatest on the
globe, sidewise toward the south, with
a consequent crumpling up OF the ST.
walk hills. For a long time it has
been known that there exist certain
anomalies in the density of the earth
under and adjacent to the Himalayas,
but this suggestion of creeping mo-
ton IS novel. The surveys that still
are in progress may eventually dis
close the real facts, but the opera
tions on the Tibetan side are rcntlered
difficult by the fact that Tibet is not
yet wholly accessible to the scientists.

Ointment ad Diet for Rheumatism.

For acute articular rheumatism the
following treatment is recommended
by n writer in the Medical Adviser.
quoted by the Medical Record: An
ointment made Of four drains each OF
iichthyol, methyl salicyIate and oil Of
tulpentinc, mixed with four ounces Of
lanolin, is applied to the affected
joints and covered With cotton and
oiled silk. The patient is put to he'd
in flannel nightclothes and between
blankets for absolute rest.
His diet must be liquid, preferably
milk, together with fruit juices, and
plenty of water. Elimination through
bowels, skin and kidHeys must be at
tended to carefully. At the beginning
of the treatment a-doSe of calomel ana
bicarbonate of soda is given and fol-
lowed after four hours by Rochelle
salts or a seidlitz powder. Rhubarb
and soda may be given to advantage
until the tongue is clean. Throughout
convalescence the patient must abstain
from all animal foods and alcohol.
