N New Interpretation of
the Indian Monsoon

R c. WALLIS, in an article which ap-
Il peared in two recent numbers of
Indian Education" Uondon) holds that
the hypothesis which states that the south
west monsoon is due to the high summer
temperature and the low summer pressure
over Central Asia must at present be re-
garded with suspended judgment, if hot
with considerable suspicion"
Wallis bases his objection on the follow
ing four observations:
L. Along the west coast of the Deccan
the wind blows onshore from the sea from
the end of March onward, yet the rains
fall with conspicuous suddenness in June.
2. Similarly, in Burma and Assam. the
onshore winds from the Bay of Bengal
precede the coming of the rains by weeks.
3. In the case of the Madras coast. the
rains precede the trade winds in the north
and the winds last long after the rains
have ceased, i. e., during January and
February.

Brazil's Iron Wealth

CTEEL and victory are pretty closely re-

steel is coal plus iron, one is indebted to
"Syren and Shipping" (London, England)

American ally:
"Some of the deposits are almost fantastic
in their assays. There is a stretch Of the
Central Railway between Queluz, in Rio ia
metro, and Sahara, in Minas Geraes, where the
whole surface Of the country is one layer of
iron. The Mount Itabira situated in that dis
trict, Is one solid mass Of mineral, giving rs

Growing Fruit i'm the Cape

is an era when every angle of the
food question is both important and
interesting. The following resume
from an article written by e. v. Pick
stone, which appeared in "The Journal of
the African Society" (London), is there
fore timely:
During the early period of the wide
awake Dutch East India Company, which
was particularly interested in the develop
ment of agriculture and horticulture,
every then known fruit compatible with
the country's climate had been introduced:
all sorts of varieties of citrus, grapes,
olives, pines, guavas, custard apples, man
goes, pears, apples, peaches, apricots and
plums. But from the middle of the eigh-
teenth to the middle of the nineteenth CEN
fury most of these fruits, for various rea-
sons, have almost entirely disappeared.
The discovery of diamonds in the early
'7Os of the last century revived, among
others, also the cultivation of the fruit in
dustry. At the beginning the latter was
almost wholly limited to peaches, apricots
and apples, with few pears and plums
thrown in.
Citrus planting had, at that time, to be
completely abandoned owing to the raw
ages by the Icerya Purchase pest. Amer
lea, fortunately, solved the problem In
1891 by delegating the California diminu-
tive lady-bird (Vedalio cardinahs), which
was at once Hospitality lodged in specially
constructed houses in Fernwood, a suburb
of Cape Town.
The fact of the absolute reversal of sea-
sons between Europe and South Africa
was so obvious that the fruit growers in
the Southern Hemisphere had the imagi-
nation spurred with the picture of fresh
peaches in London, New York, Paris and
Berlin at the Christmas and New Years
dinner tables.
GAS to the future Of fruit growing
within the South African Union," Mr..
Pickstone concludes, cit is full of hope.
During the war progress was severely
handicapped owing to the inability to get
sufficient cold storage accommodations on
the ships, many of which are used for war
only"

The Place of Feeling in Religion

HE place of emotion in religion is surely

milton OF religion morality touched with
I emotion" But there must be emotion in
religion, very strong emotion, because re-
iigion IS nothing if it be not an uplift of
the soul 1t is true that sometimes the ap
peal to the feelings has been too one-sided
and exclusive. That was the strength. but
that was also the weakness of the great
evangelical revival of the eighteenth GEN.
fury In cold and formal age such az that
was when very narrow conception of rea-
son was made so largely dominant in life
there was need for warm food of feeling
such as the evangelical revival brought.
But the appeal to the emotions was too ex
elusive, and it was forgotten how truth
seeking intellect has also it's share in the
discoveries OF truth. The soul that is up
ilfted IN religion must be the whole soul

Jesus ls quite instructive and helpful. It is
evident that He felt very intensely and
showed His feelings. No reader of the
gospels would therefore come away with the
impression that He was weak character
but, on the contrary, that He was very strong
and very Standardization Work.

"The city population was, in 1897, 1885,
600; in 1915, 27,405,000. In 1897 there were
in entire Russia twenty cities with more
than 100000 inhabitants (total population OF
these twenty cities, 6,oo0oOO); in 1915 there
were forty-sx cities of this category, total
ling 1884 900 inhabitants
"In 1897 Petrograd had 1,367,123 people;

Climatology, the writer complains, is

candidly be admitted that facts about
winds are everywhere difficult to ascer
tain, especially in connection with rain

great advantage profit by the hints thrown
out by the English meteorological.

utilis. Seeds were generously imported
from Algiers, and there are now more
than 100000 soap-nut trees growing in
Florida alone, large numbers in other
Southern states and in nineteen foreign
countries. Some importations were made
from China by the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture
The hull of the nut supplies raw ma
terial for the manufacture of soap and
other articles which require an ingredient
with saponaceous properties. This ma
terial can even be used as soap without
compromising. By shreddng the hull and
using it with water as if it were soap a
perfect lather is readily obtained, and
some authorities state that the cleansing
qualities are superior to manufactured
soaps.
The extracts efficiency as a foam
producer makes it further useful as an
ingredient in carbonated beverages.
The kernel yields fixed oil, which
some say for culinary purposes is equal
to olive oil. Some therapeutic value is
also attributed to the nuts.

fortunate spectacle of big auto truck
stuck in a rut-perhaps holding up traffic.
The next time you encounter such a
catastrophe recall the experience described
By Edwin L. Purkess in Popular Me-

suggestions count for their full value. Mr..
Purkess writes:
"A heavy auto truck became mired in a
deep rut on country road, and the driver,
without assistance and with only the auto
Jack available, was forced to devise some
means of getting his machine again under
way. The method employed was so simple
and effective that it may abe of interest to
most motorists. Two saplings were set cross

~ been invented at last by an Eastern
man that bids fair to send the old dry bat
teries now in use to ring your front door
bell to the ashcan. 1t is quite simple ar
rangement, and it is strange that no one
should have thought of such simple device
is geared to a small dynamo, and when the
button is pushed the dynamo armature
rotates in the field of permanent mag
ret, thereby generating enough electricity
to ring the bell. The whole unit hardly
takes up more space than the ordinary
push button, and does away with the con-
slant expense of renewing batteries
