STOP EATING POTATOES.

The New York World suggests that we stop eating
potatoes Abroad the price is becoming prohibit
i've. And there is the added danger that thirst for
profit will cause growers to sell seed potatoes and so
prolong the shortage.
At such prices says the World potatoes long
er good food. They never good food as we
have come to believe. The potato is three-fourths

tains not quite one-hfth Of that element Only one

the anti-scorbuuc elements. valuable of course,
but they are in such slight amount they
worth the price OF potatoes today.
There are substitutes Rice is the most resem-
bling potato food qualities. Brown rice is much
more wholesome all-round substitute than white rice.
Why eliminate the potato from the diet for while,
thereby saving the seed potatoes insure crop
next year? Now that the qualities of the pottao-
cheapness and abundance-are gone there's use
clinging the potato habit.

1t is a singular fact that just as
the lOftiest peaks are found in noun
tain ranges. and not isolated, so the
deepest depressions of the ocean eX-
list in long trenches, which are cut
like burrows in the sea bottom. The
greatest known trench Of this kind
runs through the western part OF
the Pacific from a point northeast
OF Japan TO the Nero deep, already
described. distance Of at least p
400 miles.
However, this is not all one an
broken trench, but rather a series
of burrows more or less closely con-
pected, and bearing different
names. Two of the holes along this
line are. respectively, 24.4S0 and
p $50 feet deep. South of the equa-
tor, in the Pacific, are the Tonga
and the Kermadec trenches, with
measured depths of 30,136 and So
$50 feet. The least of these is a

Everest is high.

In regard TO the sinking or met
ais in water there is a persistent
misunderstanding. Not only lead
and iron. but aluminium as we'll,
would sink TO the uttermost bottom
of the sea The confusion of
thought on this subject probably
arises from the general knowledge
that the pressure rapidly increases
with increase of depth in water. If
the density Of the water also in
creased in proportion. a point might
be reached where a body that sank
near the surface would. lower
down, be buoyed up with sufficient
force 20 keep it in suspension.
But i'm fact water is so slightly
compressible that at a depth of a
mile cubic foot of seawater. which
weighs about 63 pounds at the sur
face. would have its weight il
/ creased to a good deal more than
ton per square inch.
The whole principle rests upon
the fact that when a solid is put
into water il displaces volume Of
water equal in weight 10 its Cthe
solid's) own weight. and if the i'm
/
I bulk. of water displaced equals that
of the solid. Suppose that the vol
ume Of the totally immersed solid is
4 a cubic foot: then il will displace
/ cubic foot of water
But. if the solid is less dense.
Ii. e. weighs less. bulk for bulk,
than the water (as is the case with
most kinds OF wood. then instead
of becoming completely immersed
IL will sink only far enough 10 dis
place a bulk Of water &c ual in
weight 10 its own weight, and this
/ bulk OF water will be smaller than
that OF the solid for the reason that
the water. bulk for bulk is heavier.
Next. suppose thai the solid is
/ equal in density to the water; then
! il must weigh Just as much as its
own volume of water. and. neglect
ing the slight difference of density
at increased depth. il will remain in
! equilibrium. completely submerged,
at 9ny point beneath the surface
l where il may be placed. Finally.
suppose the solid TO be denser than
water. like lead. iron, or aluminium,
then the amount of water that IL
would displace will still be equal 10
its own volume, but since bulk for
bulk. il is heavier than water, the
" eight of the volume OF water dis
placed by il will be less than its own
weight. and so IL will sink 10 the
bottom. continually displacing the
water beneath IL as IL goes down.
Ii must Oe remembered that wa

as well as upward and sideways
while a solid body. whether i'm

Responsible Germans Abandon Hope
of Peace Through Them.
Copenhagen, June 1.-THE Associ
ated Press correspondent today had
an opportunity to converse with man
just returned from Germany, Who
said responsible Germans had quite
abandoned hope of forcing an end OF
the war through submarine activity
ana that the people in general were
now declaring in increasing numbers
that they had been deceived and mis-
led by the preachers of submarine
ruthlessness, who had promised them
a speedy peace. but had merely
brought the United States into the
war.
The German Admiralty is showing
no haste to publish the submarine
statistics for May No estimates OF
them, or even approximations, have
yet been issued though announcement
of the 1,000,000-ton result in April
was made May 6, and the figures for
March were published April 10.
The delay tends TO confirm the I'M
preston that the May statistics VIII
show considerable falling off from
the April figures, information from Ger
many being to the effect that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons We're
sunk in May 1t is also thought here
that the German Admiralty is endeay-
oring to prepare the public for the
situation by long dissertations that
results are to be measured not by the
actual tons sunk, but by the guns and
men which the necessity of arming
ships keeps from being sent to the
front.
The newspaper writer's at the Der
lin press conference on Friday were
instructed to emphasize the delay
and embarrassment to allied com
merce caused by the necessity of CON
yoying ships.

New York, June 1S.-Agents OF tire
Federal Government have been eX-

the hope of discovering German spy
or plot funds, Of which there are said
TO be several millions in this country.
1t is understood that the Government
has located several deposits which
run into large figures This money has
not been seized, but tho banks, it is
said, have been ordered not to allow
it to be withdrawn without the
knowledge of the Department of JUS

Goldman and Alexander Berkman,

Ever since the German spy aud plot
work started in 1915 the agents of the
Kaiser have been spending large
sums of money in efforts that failed
Millions of this .aioney was said to be
available for the spies. Since the en-
trance of this country into the war
and the departure of Ambassador Won
Bernstorff the plot and spy business
has been slack, and the Government
is working on the assumption that
much of the Kaiser's trouble money
is still in American banks.
