PERSHING'S TROOPS
 10 RETURN TO U. s.
NO DEFINITE DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR WITHDRAWAL OF
 MEN IN KHAKI.

Washington-Afte cabinet meet ing, at which Secretary Lane made his final report on the worlnof the Mexican-American joint con1aission, it became known that the withdrawal of Maj. Gen. Pershing's troops from Mexico and the sending of Ambassa- dor Fletcher to the Mexican capital may be expected in the near future. No formal announcement is expected, but the decision of the administra- ton probably will be made known through action.
 No definite date for the withdrawal of the troops has be~n set, but as a result of the conclusion of the work of the joint commission the question is now entirely in President Wilson's hands.
 The lifting of the embargo on the exportation of arms into Mexico has not been considered seriously. This point was taken up once by the joint commission, but the Mexican mem- bers of the commission said they could not be put in the position of ask ing for the removal of the embargo while the American troops still were on Mexican soil

LODGING DISEASE OF PLANTS
Shipping of Pollen From Washington to Japan Regarded as an Ex-
 traordnary Achievement.

The novel feat of shipping the pollen of citrus fruits from Washington to Japan for use in hybridizing experi- ments has been recently achieved by the United States bureau of plant in- dustry. Although pollen had previous iy been shipped in cold storage from Florida to California, new methods were necessary for the longer journey, and several plans were tried. One was to place the anthers in glass tubes from which the air was subsequently, exhausted. Another was to pack them in similar tubes which, besides being exhausted of air, were dried with sul- phuric acid. A large percentage of the pollen, which included that of grapefruit, tangelo, orange, etc., ger minated promptly after arrival at its destination. The long-distanee ship ment of pollen in vacuum tubes offers convenient substitute for the ship ment of whole plants for use in breed ing, in certain cases. and one which

New Cedar for Pencils.

The eastern red cedar or juniper is becoming SC scarce and valuable that the pencil manufacturers are turning to the California incense cedar for a source of their supply. This incense cedar resembles the eastern red cedar more closely than any other wood. It is somewhat lighter in color, however, and chemical process is being used to stain the wood to resemble eastern red cedar. A large percentage of our pencils are now being made from Cali fornia incense cedar. The tree is felled and cut up into large blanks. These blanks are again sawed into small slats little wider than the 'di- ameter of a pencil.-Scientific Ameri- can.
