A Pioneer Of the Sea.

The kings recent visit to Port Glas-
Cow recalls a fact in the history Of
ships and shipbuilding which has a
particular interest at the present time.
AS everybody knows, observes the
Montreal Herald, 1t was from Port
Glasgow that the first steamer ever
built the Comet, owner Henry Bell,
was launched In 1912. She was 80
ton vessel with an engine of three
horse power, and was found to be so
successful that within the next two
years two larger craft were construct
ed. One of these was the Marjery,
and from the Clyde the Marjery was
transferred to the Thames, and piled
between London and Gravesend dur
Ing the first months of 1915. But she
was viewed with disfavor by the
Thames watermen, She was very
much of a novelty, and they were sus-
picious of novelties; besides, they con-
sidered that this Scotch-built boat In
terfered with their rights. So the
Marjery left the Thames for the
Seine; her owners having sold her to
a French company. To reach the Seine
she had to cross the channel, and she
was thus the first steamer to do so.

One of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council is the search for wild
plants which may be used as wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war DIR. John
Porcher, a southerner, published
book giving a list of plants of the
South which could be substituted for
much-needed food and drug plants.
The American Botanist, Joliet, Ill,
proposes. with the aid of its readers,
to compile a similar list. Informa-
ton Is sought as to any plants not
ordinarily cultivated which have edible
fruits, seeds, roots, etc. 1t Is sug-
gested that valuable knowledge on this
subject might be obtained from hunt
ers, trappers, woodsmen. farmers, In
dams and the foreigners, who pick
up considerable food from the country
side. Similar information is desired
concerning plants that can be used In
medicine.

daily bringing before us the impor-
lance OF food supply. Meat is a popu-
iar FOOD because Of its flavor, due to
certain substances. called extractives.
Ihese extractives are In no sense nutri-
tious' but have n stimulating effect
upon the appetite and digestive or
sans, so that they are valuable aids in
the digestion Of foods. Too much meat
eating, however. dulls the taste for
milder. less highly favored foods, as

Tor plain bread and butter.
One reason for the popularity Of
meats. such rs steaks and chops, is
that they may be cooked and served in
rev minutes. Meat being the main
dish, other things having secondary
Importance, helps to solve the every
day problem of what to have for din
ner.
If the purse is ample there is no
reason why we should exclude meat
from our tables; but once day for
dinner Is often enough to serve. In
many experiments carried on by stu
dents 1t has been shown that a de-
crease Of meat to one-sixth of the
usual amount has made an actual in
crease In their capacity for physical
endurance.
Our faith in the Strengthening prop
erty Of meat has no doubt come down
to us from our ancestors who from
necessity lived largely on meat.
We know by observation and statis-
tics that the amount of meat con-
sumed in our country is gradually be-
Ing reduced and everybody concerned
Is better in health for such restric-
ions.
AS meat proteins are particularly
liable to putrefaction in the intestinal
tract, these products through the ac-
tivity Of bacteria, are often poisonous,
and when absorbed into the system
give rise to hosts of ills.
The foods which may take the place
Of meat supplying the body with all
that 1t needs to repair waste and give
heat and energy, are milk, eggs. cheese,
nuts and peas and beans. By using
these foods and cutting down the meat

Many Indian Languages.

Before you write the government or
the Smithsonian institution and re-
quest 1t to send you the Indian name
for this or that thing, bear in mind
that there is no one American Indian
language, says the Popular Science
Monthly. On the contrary, there are
no less than one thousand languages
in the two Americas and practically
five hundred distinct Indian languages
north of Mexico. Thus, 1t is impossible
to give the Indian word for any Eng
lish equivalent. II you do receive an
answer to your inquiry, the word given
is probably chosen from the language
