Death From Superstition.

A superstitious Buddhist caused q mans death in Mura, Japan. A dealer in clogs went mad, owing to money troubles. His wife and his sister con- suited Buddhist. The ignorant de votee, believing that the man was pos sessed by fox, advised them to take him to Nose temple. In accordance with the request of the mans relatives the devotee took the lunatic to Nose temple. where he threw him in a pool beneath waterfall known as Shintaki, holding him fast there with ropes.s He repeated the process for few days. Needless to say the lunatic'S health suffered considerably by this extraordi- nary treatment. A few days later, at about a. m., the zealot threw the lunatie in the basin of the waterfall 9s usual and left him there for few hours. Before .he, returned the man died from exhaustion and cold. Amazed at this result the ignorant bi- got buried the body in temple known as Takusonji in the same village, and made out that the lunatic had died from sudden illness. The police, however, heard of the affair and ar. rested the man.

Acid Not Only Foe to Tin.

The popular idea that only acid sub. stances attack tin is wrong. Fish, as. paragus, beans, pumpkins and spin !ach are not acid, and yet their corro. sion of tin is quite marked. This is probably due to antino compounds, substances related to ammonia. In the case of shrimps the cans are often eaten through in a comparatively short time. So alkaline is the methylamine contained in shrimps that worklnen in ,he canneries find the skin peeiing off their hands. Observation by some can ners led to the discovery that ii shrimps were iced for a day before canning, the corrosive action of the juices was greatly diminished. This is now the universal practice. In addi- ton the cans are lined with paper to prevent the contact of the shrimps and the tin.

NO MENACE IN TOBACCO.

'srhe tobacco crop showed a 40 pel' cent perease n 1916 over that of 1915, kdfld' attribute that largely to tue fact women are smoking more cigar cites than they used to. All thosa tobacco fields should te planted t. wheat"
 Thus spoke a woman orator to q lwoman's convention.
 It is true that tobacco acreage has increased, but not because few thou sand society women in the United States have gone in for the savory weed. It is because the cigarette hab- if has been extended to an enormous extent, largely among youths. Ia cities 1t is now an exception to find youth who doesn't smoke cigarettes.
 But in spite of the added acreage glven over to tobacco culture, it is not queston of substituting wheat or corn culture for that southern spe cfalty-which wouldn't be considered! seriously anyway-but rather ques- ton of raising more wheat upon the idle lands in the Unted States.
 Just think of the crops that could be raised on the 400,c00,0OO vacant and uncultivated acres in this coun- try! Most of them ate part of farms, and are being held idle merely be- cause their owners do not care t, work them, merely holding the land for semi-speculative purposes.
 The government could put, a stop to all this it would tax unused land into use.
 That's the crux of the entire situa- tion-tax unused land into use. Make 1t so that the owner of land can only obtain profit by working it himself or selling it to somebody who will work it.
