Plant Strength Will Force
Stones Out of Their Place

One would scarcely associate great
strength with so delicate and fragile
a thing as maiden hair fern, yet If its
roots have not sufficient room they will
break the pot in which the plant
grows. Blades of grass will force the
curbstones between which they spring
up out of their place. Indeed, plants
are on record as having broken hard
rocks. The island of Aldabra, 10 the
northwest Of Madagascar, is becoming
smaller through the action Of the
mangroves that grow along the foot
Of the cliffs.

Nearly All Undersea Boats
Are Equipped With Kitchens
Where Cook Prepares Meals

In the earlier submarines no pro-
vision was made for cooking the mems
meals. Everything had to be eaten
cold ,--.
This did not matter so very much
when these craft were quite small,
with correspondingly small radius of
action.
But when larger undersea boats
came to be built, the provision Of prop
erly cooked hot meals became press
ing necessity.
So now, says a writer In Parsons
Magazine, all but the very oldest types
of submarines are fitted with a small
galley, no bigger than a very moder-
ate-sized cupboard, where the cook
has Just room to stand In front Of his
dolls house stove. This latter is cleo
trically heated, in order that the al
ready oppressive air may not be fur
Their vitiated by smoke or fumes.
The menu on board submarine is
not varied, consisting mostly Of stew,
with an occasional '.mugup" Of salt
fish for a change, and plenty of strong.
piping-het coffee to chase away sleep
from the tired eyelids.
Meals are eaten out Of aluminium
dishes in collapsible mess-tables when
the vessel is submerged. When the
submarine is running on the surface
her crew usually prefer to take their
nIataS nf Stow IN dack and the North
sea attends to its sailing for them.
