.ALGERIA'S WINE CROP YIELD
Product, Distinctly inferior to That OF
Previous Season, Will Total Only
About 159,5o2, 800 Gallons.

The wine crop of Algeria is distinctly
inferior to that of year ago. The Of
fetal statistics of the vintage Will not
be issued for several weeks; but, ac'
cording to the general estimate, the
yield approximates 100000 hecoli-
tiers Q5S,5O2, 300 gallons), compared
with S,7S1,26 hecoliters (231,975,1 100
gallons) in 1916.
The seasons unusual dryness, which
lasted from spring until the full ma
turity of the grape, states Commercial
Reports, has resulted in wine appre-
ciahly stronger. Phylloxera and other
plant diseases did considerable dam
age to the vines, and the late siroccoS
further tended to reduce the output.
The lack of labor was also handi-
cap, especially in the department OF
O.an, which was unable to draw upon
Morocco TO any extent.

Swauaer Stick BETRAYED.

A discussion, which began with ac-
tual preparedness in America and
which has continued now and again,
here and there, pro and con, was re-
vived, writes a New York correspond
ent. with the arrest of a fictitious army
officer. who, let it be known here, car
ried a swagger stick. The question.
"Why. oh. why, do they carry them?"
WAS intensified by the fact that one of
the detectives asserted in English that
had 1t not been for the swagger stick
he would never have suspected the
camouffage captain. Luck was with
the detectives, and when the prisoner
was taken to police headquarters he
admitted he was not a captain at all,
but bold. bad young man who had
been telling naughty lies and stealing
automobiles and other knick-knackS
ever since war was declared. However,
he Indignantly asserted that he was IL
legally arrested to begin with, for the
reason that army officers do not wear
swagger sticks right now. He seemed
to think that his arrest shouldn't count,
inasmuch as the detectives were mis-
taken in their first and most important
clue.

LIFE-PRICE WE PAY FOR II
Penalties Of Fame Are Debts Of All
Existence, With "High Cost OF
Living" Significant

The penalties Of fame are the penal
ties of all life, which, when one views
1t resolutely and without taking refuge
behind rose-colored spectacles, teens
with contradictions that give deeper
significance to that well-worn phrase,
"the high cost Of living" And the
chief part of the expense lies not In

which are demanded by our material
and bodily needs as human animals.
writes Mary Garden In the New York

TREES NOISE LIKE WHISPER
Needleiike Points of Stiff Leaves
Scratching Upon Each Other Re-
sponsibIe for Odd Chorus.

HeEry HeineIIe of Santa Monica,
a hike to the wilds of the Malibu by
reporting the discovery Of nest Of
dunes Of singing sands, has again
caused nature students to sit up and
take notice, according to the Los An
geles Times.
This time he reports the discovery
OF a clump of whispering trees. The
find was made far up in Los Tunas
canyon. where the county surveyors
gang recently ran lines for mountain
road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the Topanga at its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
BUTTON of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road is hung on the side of the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
point are invariably attracted by what
sounds to them as If somebody in the
underground were talking in sub
dued voice.
Shouts failing to bring response,
Mr.. Heinelle, after listening to the sup
posed whispered conversation, left the
trail and, descended the PERCEPTIONS
side of the mountain, expecting to dis
cover some hunter who had fallen and
injured himself. But there vas no
evidence of life anywhere, although
the air was filed with indistidguish-
able whisperings.
The sound always came from the
same general direction, and the will
o-the-wisp directed him to a clump OF
scrubby trees, much in appearance like
the English holly-and then the mys-
terry was solved. The needle-like points
of thousands of these stiff leaves,
swayed by the breeze blowing up the
canyon, scratching upon the surface
of other leaves was responsible for
The noise made.by one leaf was so
slight that 1t could not be heard foot
away, but the thousands grating con-
tinuously together kept the sound VI
brations in such constant motion that
their sigh was heard above the ordi-
nary rustling of the leaves of the chap
arral.

RAT UP HIS TROUSERS LEG
Ohio Groceryman Experiences Exeit-

to Be Too Familiar.

One of those unfortunate things

which relates in its graphic and grip

Mr.. Carlton Stone, described by the
Journal, which, of course, knows him
well, as the handsome and debonnair
grocer of Gallipolis.
Mr.. Stone, 1t seems, under stress OF
great and repeated provocation, had
been led to say some rather sharp
things concerning the general char
acter and the unpleasant habits OF the
huge rats which infest his emporium,
and one Of their number, gaunt,
gray, wiry fellow, at last was unani-
mously selected to essay reprisals.
This our rodent did by lurking and
prowling about, awaiting his opportu-
nifty, and, when in his best judgment
1t had come, by making sudden s0rtfe

The verve and dash Of the wholly
unexpected attack all but robbed our
hero of his usual calm presence Of

sailing party passed the knee sector,
Mr.. Stone, realizing that something
must be done. and done quickly. recov-
cred his customary poise, formulated
his plan of attack and soon was en-
gagged in counter-movements combin-
ing high kicking. frantic slapping and
complete removal Of trousers with a
versatility, a vigor, determination
and a change Of pace that beggar all
description.

rat in scarcely more than trice was

SALVAGE Corps at Battle Front.

According to the systems now estaD-
lished In modern warfare, it Is stated
by war correspondent, a salvage
corps is daily going over all the ground
near the battle front exposed to hre,
and is gathering all the debris dis
carded by the contending armies. None
of the scrap is neglected, with steer
worth one shilling to one and one-hall
shillings per pound, and copper and
other metals in proportion. All the
metals are taken to shops in the rear,
and there worked into the various mu-
nitions that a modern army uses.
All the lead that is fired is prac-
tically lost, as bullet travelling at a
velocity of 1000 feet or more per sec
ond buries itself SO deep into any OBJ
ject it hits as to be lost entirely. Otn-
er metals, however, such as tangled
steel from wrecked motor cars, large
pieces Of shells, bits of copper, pieces
of aluminium, etc, are carefully collect
ed and later turned into disable condi-
hon.
