Home Tact.

We hear frequently that 1t is love that makes the world go round. There used to be a catchy song to that effect that sounded quite convincing. But, occasionally, one entertains the suspicion that with love alone to steer by, the world might very easily fly off on any tangential path that presented itselfy and that nothing short of genu- inc tact, nice discernment, inborn courtesy-call it what you will-freely exercised in the same place where charity, too, should begin, will hold the spinning earth in it's proper groove and keep 1t from colliding with tho rest of the universe.

Who Dehes the Kaiser and

The Queen was forced to fee with
the defeated Rumanian army, aban-
doning all her luxuries, her Jewels
and her personal belongings. She
had six children before the baby's
death. The three younger ones OF
the survivors required her constant
care during her flight.
This fight was maintained with
many hairbreadth escapes until the
Queen and the army found refuge
at Jassy, in the extreme northeast
ern corner of the country, behind
the Carpathian Mountains.
The Queen, who has displayed
such unexampled heroism, is noted
as the most beautiful woman Of
her rank in Europe. She is a
daughter of the late Duke Of Edin-
burgh, second son of Queen Vic
toria, and of the Grand Duchess
Marie of Russia, from whom she in
herits her temperament. Before the
stern fires of war tried her she was
famous for her luxurious and ro-

EucaIYptus and Malaria.

"What Is the connection between
the eucalyptus and the disappearance
of the malarial trouble? This has been
only very recently explained. There
Is probably no tree having a greater
avidity for water than the eucalyptus.
Experiments with seedlings grown In
water have shown that baby blue
gum will take up the liquid at an ex-
trcmely rapid rate. As. the blue-gums
grow at a marvellous rate Gotten as
much as ten or twelve feet is added
to their height In a single season.,
the consumption Of moisture from the
soil goes on at rapidly increasing
rate. Now, 1t is well-known that the
malarial poison Is introduced~in the
blood of man through the agency of
certain variety of mosquito (Ano-
pheles), and the dwelling place of
these insects, when In the larval stage,
is to be found in pools Of water. With
the planting Of the eucalyptus trees
the pools disappear and the marshy
land becomes comparatively dry. Thus
fhe breeding places of the mosquitoes
are destroyed and the insects are no
longer able to carry on their pernicious
activities."-S. Leonard Basin, In st.
Nicholas.

Evolution of the Lamp,

DR.. Walter Clark of Philadelphia
has recently made some interesting in
vestigations to find out how the old
time lighting conditions In his city
compare with those Of today, says the
Popular Science Monthly. He has dis
covered that until as late as 1885, only
Pickering sperm oil and candles were
In use. Not until the following decade
did the "highly improved" kerosen"
lamp appear. Gas did not come ou'
until the period between 1865 and 1875.
And then only the wealthy could use
it. 1t sold at $3.50 per thousand cubic
feetl The efficient Welsbach mantIi
came out ten years later, revolutioniz
ing artificial illumination. The pres
ent era began in 1895, when gas and
electricity came into general u"e-gas
selling at 81 per thousand cubic feet
and electricity at 10 cents per kilo
watt hour. Since that time the gas
mantle and the electric flament have
seen vast improvements, so that today
the average family is obtaining about
eighteen times as much light as the
people of half century ago.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
ia;ed In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored l0O,OO0,OO0 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port--but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0,O00,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,OO0,OO0 BUSH
, els waiting for ships.
India, ut the same time, had
100000 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
500O0,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add l35,OO0,OOO to
the left over.
Ii is not problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world lit is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
nr our stock with the Allies.

ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July l, 1914. to
January /, 1918, is given by figures
just announced by the U. s. Food Adj.
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
Iy rations for 57,100,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion Of the diet
for %, 1911, $50 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
flour to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3St.OO0,OO0 bushels.
Pork exports for the 81 years amount
ed to almost 2,000,O0O,010 pounds FIX
ports Of fresh beef totaled 4i3,4S4. 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.
