Fully 200, 100000 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every
year, according to estimates made by
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Many of them are jack rabbits, the
majority of which have not been util-
ICED in the past. If all the rabbits
killed were consumed. they would
represent between 100000 and $780,
900 tons of valuable food, and if
proper measures were taken to insure
the collection of skins, these alone
would have a value of $20,000,000.
The Biological Survey has frequently
been called upon to help Western
farmers in coping with the rabbit
pest. In view of the probable eco
nomic value of rabbit meat and fur
in the coming few years, the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this
important resource. Already a num-
Der of establishments for collecting,
dressing, canning and shipping rab-
bit meat are in operation in Western
centers. AS in Australia, the trans
ition of the wild rabbit in this coun
try from its status as a pest to a
source 1t is believed.

One of the principal industries of
Southeastern Manchuria is the rear
ing of the silkworm that produces
the "tussah," or wild silk, from

of cocoons are produced each year,
one in the spring and the other in
the autumn The first crop Is used
principally to obtain eggs for the Sec
ond which is the more important and
furnishes the major part of the COM
mercial supply. The 1918 spring crop
of cocoons is approximately smaller
than usual. The quality is also
much poorer than in normally large
rainfall in the late spring and early
summer. AS a result Of the unsatis-

MAY MEAN MUCH 70 WORLD
Aviators Believe That Flying Is Bound
to Have Great Influence on the
Minds Of Men.

Flying, In the opinion Of British
aviators, is going to change the char
acter of the worlds thought. It will
have a broadening influence and it
will bring a fresher, cleaner Cow of
ideas into the brains Of men.
A man, the flyers argue, who has
seen before him at the same time the
cliffs Of England, the long fat fields of
Holland and the smiling countryside
of Belgium and France is bound to
think in q different way than a man
whose horizon has always been bound
ed by bricks and mortar, or even by
hill and dale.
Travelling may have made him think
nationally, but flying will make him
think far more largely. He will see
England and France lying close to
each other, separated only by shin
ing strip of water. He will see the
green and brown mosaic Of Belgium,
which in its turn merges into the dis
tant shadow Of Holland, while, still
farther on, across the wide Scheldt
he will see the distant lOwlands sweep
on over the rim Of the world.
How will he regard petty spites be-
tween individuals and cliQues then

his thumb from the heights fever
ish city swarming with million peO-
ple What will he think Of those who
live next to each other and will not
speak? How mean and petty their
quarrels and jealousies and hates will
seem.
The true meaning Of human inter
course and friendship will come home
to him. He will gain an almost divine
outlook upon the world. Dishonesty,
civil strife. all will seem to him
contemplate. Perhaps, say the avia-
tors, this Is the new view which will
bring the millennium.

INDIAN STALKERS GIVE TURKS
ATTACK OF NERVES

Silent death in the blackness of
night, the fate of unnumbered Turk
ish sentries surprised at their posts
by patrols of Indian troops with the
British army, has imposed upon the
Ottoman soldiers wholesome re-
spect for these dark-skinned fighters
who have replaced many white con-
tingents sent to other fronts.
The cleverness of the Gurkhas at
stalking has had a terrifying effect
upon the minds of the Turks, who are
constantly finding their men dead at
advanced stations, with nothing to
betray the coming and going of the
foe. The result has been case of
nerves" among the enemy, prompt
ing constant alarms
Garkhas and Sikhus, eager for ac-
tive fighting, are continually sug-
costing raids and sectional attacks.
In action the Indian troops are as
keen as in anticipation of it. Their
approach, even after the warning of
a barrage, inevitably is so swift as
to take the Turks completely off their
guard. Recently in broad daylight
Gurkhas reached unobserved a point
within close range of the enemy
trench. They rushed it and without
firing a shot, killed fifteen Turks and
brought back as many prisoners.
Only one of the attackers was wound
ed. A subaltern in charge of a party
of the Indians had an extraordinary
experience in this raid. He had stuck
his bayonet into a Turk, but was un-
able to disengage it, owing to the
narrowness of the trench. Another
Turk nearby began jabbing the butt
end of a rife into the officers ribs.
Suddenly the Englishman saw his as

ers, Gurkha having dexterously de-
capitated him with his kookhri, an
