The value Of Hadley's instrument
was not at once recognized by mari
ners, but its worth has been amply dem
onstrated by the fact that no essen
tial change has been made In 1t since
1t first appeared, nearly two centuries
ago.
With the sextant perfected, the ap-
paratus used by q navigator was
greatly reduced In bulk. Some OF the
ancient ships, bound on long voyages,
took along a great variety OF applt-

Now the American officer, ready to

E TO MAKE UP
SHORTAGE IN

Norwegian materials without the ad-
mixture Of foreign vegetable oils,
which experts had declared to be es-
3ential.
The discovery is due to the research
es Of a committee appointed by Hr.
Vik, the minister of supply. For the
present the Vera fat refinery will
manufacture the article. and it Is as
serted that the factory will be able to
meet the requirements Of the whole
country.
The secret Is the use of different
kinds of fish oil, OF which there is
plenty on hand, both OF whale and
other fish. The price will be slightly
higher than the former oleomargarine.
because there Is a duty on fish oils
higher than hat on the vegetable oils
previously used.
A representative of the Morgenblatt
has been given the opportunity Of tast-
ing the new product and asserts that
in flavor and appearance it is equal to
the best oleomargarine. 1t is expected
to be on the market as soon as q sup
ply a be manufactured.

TROPICS TO Be DEVELOPED
SubjuQation Of the Sea Not the Only
Important Step Being Contem-
plated Toward More Effective
Utilization Of Nature.

LondOn.-The worlds supply of oils
and fats is going to be derived In rap
idly increasing measure hereafter from
the seas. This is the conclusion to
which investigators Of this problem,
which was one of the first to become
acute after the war started, have
brought themselves.
The problem indeed was beginning
to be q real one before the wal start
ed. The production Of live stock for
a long time had not been keeping pace
with the worlds requirements. This
has beer In considerable part because
OF the increasing number of peoples
that are requiring more and more meat
IN their diet. and partly from other
causes.
The net result is that In the search
for new oils and fats, and indeed for
new uses OF fish as q substitute for
meat. important progress has been
made. Some recent developments sug-
gest that the seas are altogether likely
In coming generations to take the place
Of the great ranges Of the Americas
and Australia for the production of
some important food articles.
Butter Substitute From Fish.
The announcement recently from
Norway that a satisfactory substitute
for oleomargarine had been produced
from fish oils, while it was regarded
Us extremely important. Is in fact only
n evidence of this increasing de-
tendency Of the world upon the seas
sources Of supply for various neces-
saries. Now 1t is asserted that the
denizens Of the deep waters are pres
emily going to be put under contribu-
ton for u variety of new foods and
substitutes for leather in many uses.
The subjugation Of the sea is not
the only great step that men are con-
templating toward q more effective
utilization Of natures bounty. The
tropics are going to be developed, after
this war. at q rate never before ina
gined, unless all signs fail. Not only
are the governments preparing to give
more systematic and scientific encour.

English sergeant, just back from

He was captured at Cambria. Dur
ing one of the visits of the german

and said: "Ach! What's the matter
with your finger?"
The sereant assured him the finger
was all all right, but the doctor insist.
ed that the finger was poisned and
that he would have to lance it. He did
so, and three days later three OF the
ingerswere inf1hmed. 1t went from
bad to worse and eventually the hand
had to be amputated.

that originally there was nothing

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-President
Wilson and allied diplomats are ex-
changing views as to time, location
and details as to the forthcoming

for an early conference occupies the

quarters. The president, however,
holds that order must be restored in
Central powers before they can be at
the peace conference. Meantime the
blockade article in the armistice
terms should be amended to include
necessary provisioning of Germany
during the armistice. In reply to
Soils appeal for mitigation, it is like
~ that the president will shortly as

and require Germany to surrender all
her submarines, as is now the case
it is thought the Russian question will
be settled at that time.
