INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE
Many Small Creatures Make Contribu-
tons to the Country's Wealth of
No Insignificant Amount.

We have many insect products Of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
and wax from the bee. ~-'
There is also a Chinese bug which
secretes a kind of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and is
collected, melted and purified, when it
becomes white and glossy in appear
ance, and when mixed with oil can be
made into candles. The cochineal,
scale insect living on cacti in the Amer
lean tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is en-
ployed in coloring soldiers uniforms,
as it stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae of Mex
lean black fly which swarms in great
quantities near Lake TeXcoa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm-a native of China Which is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited in a crust
on twigs to contain the insect and its
eggs. The export value of lac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as
high as 100000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is a growing one, the en-
ployment Of lac in making dyes has
probably had its day. The best lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province of India. It is also used as
stiffening for hats, sealing wax, as an
ingredient of photographic, ink, in cleo
trical work and in the manufacture Of
gramophone records.

SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA
Rejoicing Throughout the
Whole Country.

In the United States one knows that
spring has come when he sees boys
playing marbles and flying kites. In
China, says the Christian Science
Monitor, there are regular spring-play-
ing festivals that all the people have
q part in and which are especially in
teresting for children.
Just when the spring festival comes
depends on the moon. 1t is the be-
ginning Of the year in China, and in
the first moon the magistrates and 9TH
er important persons in the town go
out in a procession "to meet the
spring."
1t Is at the lantern festival, the 18th
Of the first month, that the children
have the best time. Brightly colored
lanterns are everywhere, at the doors
Of shops and houses, and carried in
professions. Boughs Of evergreen are
also placed above the doors, and there
is an abundance of "moon cakes" lit
tie round sweet rice cakes.
The boys dress up in all sorts of fam
toStiC CiOtAcS' SlAS, udHCe anu give III

mails and Of human faces. Companies
Of them 60 about through the streets
Of their villages, and from one village
to another. Now and then group of
maskers will be seen on high stills.
There is very pretty dance where
every dancer carries lighted lantern.
This is called the lantern dance.

Ylddish.

Yiddish is a dialect spoken by the
Jews of central Europe, consisting OF
corrupted Hebrew with large admix-
ture of German. 1t has been carried
by immigrants to Great Britain and
this continent, and is now Of practical
ly worldwide use. The old Hebrew
Uncial, or Capital, letters are made to
give way to cursive or script letter
in writing; and regular written Ian
guage, and even a literature has come
into being. But for religious usage the
ancient Hebraic form and words, en-
ployed in the written Torah or Law is
strictly adhered to-. and, it will be
found as a rule that even those who
use Yiddish commonly. have also a
familiarity with the ancient language
Of their race.

Somewhat Expensive Error.

A large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West.
The vessel was outward bound from
Rotterdam, and the sailor was on deck
polishing some brasswork. Suddenly
the captain called him, and told him
to go below. The second officer on the
bridge heard the captain call out the
mans name, and thought 1t was an
order to change the course Of the YES
sci to the west. He did so, and the
result was that the vessel ran onto a
dangerous shoal. That name cost the
owners Of the vessel the sum Of $780,
900.

Experimental Kitchen.

An experimental kitchen, where SUBJ
stitutes for wheat are being tested,
has recently been established and
equipped by the Office of home eco
nomlcs, United States department Of
agriculture. In this kitchen some Of
the good old recipes which were in
use 30 to Is years ago, when corn,
buckwheat, rye and barley were IN
more common use, are being revised
and standardized, and new recipes in
which wheat substitutes play an i'm
portant part are tested and standard
lied. A group of women-laboratory
specialists and housekeepers with
special training-work side by side in
the new kitchen. Before a recipe is
made public it must not only pass the
test Of the laboratory specialists but
must also meet the test of actual ex-
perience in the hands of housekeep-
er who studies 1t for its practical
value in the average kitchen.

IDEAS HARD TO ERADICATE
Erroneous Geographical Notions That
Have a Firm Hold on the Minds
of Most People.

1t is curious to note with what per-
ideas without ever thinking that these
ideas do not, under all circumstances,
denote one and the same thing. AS a
matter of fact, the maximum heat is
between" North and South-viZ, along
the equator, and it is as cold at the
South Pole as at the North Pole. Also
the words North and South are as rela-
tive terms as East and West, and do
not, to everyone, convey the same
idea.
To make this clear, let us suppose
that A stands at the North Pole and,
turning in the direction of the country
from which he came, feels the wind
blowing in his face. He would, Of
course, claim that this wind was south
erly, and nobody would dare contradict
him, for does not the wind come from
Norway, which is south from the Pole?
His companion, B, however, who stands
a little distance further off, let us say
so steps beyond the Pole, on the
hemisphere on which America is situ-
ated, will just as emphatically assert
that this wind is northern, as it blows
from the North Pole, and the snow
flakes it carries after having passed
the polar point no longer are directed
toward the North, but the South. There
is no use disputing; both are right and,
although separated by few steps
only, that which to A is north is to L
south.

"The value Of such letters to soldiers
Is beyond estimate. The harm that
discouraging letters from home do to
him is clearly indicated by reports at
the adjustant generals office. Here
are some extracts from recent reports
Of division commanders:
"T find, also, that many of the fam
ilies Of the men write to them of un-
satisfactory conditions at home. sick
ness Of relatives, and how much va
rious members Of the family wish to
see the soldier. These letters, so far
as sickness, etc., are concerned, are
often overdrawn, but, combined with
the homesick feeling, often result in
the man going absent without leave
and finally being dropped as de-
serter.

FINNISH PEOPLE IN UNITED
 STATES REJOICE AT WAR ENn

Many Finnish people joined in the jubIati0ns which attended the announcement that the war was over. The spirit with which they receivei the news is reflected in the editorials printed in the Finnish A merican press. At the first intim- ation that hostilities were finished, thr Paiyalehti, q Finnish non-so- ciaIist daily of Duluth, Minn., came out with the following editorial:
 Tt seems that the Unitea States has accomplished the first part of it's great task" said the Paivalehti. The disturber of world peace has been overthrOwn, and the only thing remaining is that the second part of the work shall be accom- Dlished in an equally brilliant man ner; viz, the recognition of the in dependence or the small nations, and their emancipation from oppres sicn and bondage. Let us hope that this will come to pass, and that every nationality that has been suf- fering under a foreign yoke shall be liberated from its chains; that it shall stand forth as a free people among the larger nations, and that among these shall be included our old home, Finland. Let us be con fident that those things for which the United States called out the boys to fight; the freedom of the world and the rights of the small nations, will be realiEed!"
 Similar sentiments were voiced by the New Yorkin Uutiset, a Finnish liberal tri-weekly, It said: Great is the present time, although Ore ceded by sorrow and pain. Happy seems the moment when the dead ly work oN the battlefield shall cease and the nations may return in peace to continue their orderly de- Yelopment." :5ai ,M

FAMOUS CHEF
 LEAVES NORTH

One of the outgoing passengers for Seattle on the City of Seattle last night was Joe Tyozima, who for almost a dozen years has hardly missed prepsrInE one meal in the famous kitchen of the Pullen House
 About 12 years ago Joe came to Skagway a bright young Japanese boy, and while an adept ct fgiures' he being a graduate accountant of Nippon university, ha knew little or nothing of pots and pans, the cooking of meats ana game, pastry and pudding.
 However, he was willing to learn, and under the careful tutorage of tfie pHoprietoress of the famous hos telry he proved an apt pupil, and for the past eight or ten years he has exercised his dominion over the culinary department of the Pullen House with an iron hand only equa?' ed by that of the kaiser.
 He has been faithful and grate- ful to his emloyer, and 1t lR safe to say that no other single chef in the Northland has catered to the oalstes of Ps many tourists and RorIherners as has Joe "Pullen" as he has been better known to all who have some in contact with him. r.
 Like all famous chefs, Joe had a temper, notwithstanding which, how ever, he will be missed by the pa trons of the hotel, and as he has made many friends among the tradesp ople of the town, his ever courteous and polite manner will be missed, .-+

ITALIAN UNIVERSITY MAKES
 COLLECTION OF WAR BOOKS

Another evidence of the r-reach' ing efforts of German propaganda, which unfortunately is not so readi sllenced as the German guns, Is in cluded in a collection of books re- gently presented by the English gov ernment to the University Library al Bologna, Italy. It takes the shape of an anti-English book printed by German agents in San Francisco' and it is written in the Hindustani language. It is probable that Ger man propaganda was widespread in A number of indian dialects.
 The English gift forms part of a coll ection of books, pamphlets, pho tographs, documents, and other printed matter pertaining to the great war which has been begun in the University at Bologna. The collection already consists of about 7,ee0 volumes. Noteworthy sddi- tions have been sent in by cor respondents appointed from abroad The French goVernment has also sent in g number of volumes. The University of Bologna aims eventually to have 8 fair-sized bibli ograpny of books on the war. A complete bibliography is almost an ImnnssjbilitT.
