Marine PecuIiaritieS.

There are two natural phenomena
of quite regular recurrence which have
given unique face in the japanese bay
of Toyama. The lightning cuttle-tish
is a rather tiny species that emits a
wonderful phosphorescence when
aroused, and while the fish is not con-
fined to the locality, it swarms along
the coast in April and May. AS the
fishermen seek them with special nets
the alarmed creatures glow with ex-
ceptIonal brilliance. The second phe-
nomenon is the Shinkero, or mirage.
The mirage seen along the shore, be-
gins as a faint mist and then develops
into a panorama Of forest, castles,
bridges spd Iuarching pAn and horse

Ar6&ntina Cattle.

The Argentina cattle industry is
capable Of much expansion in time of
war stimulation. In the northern end
of the pampas are boundless fields of
grass where the cattle feed the year
round. Sweet water there is In
abundance, and windmills dotted over
the plains keep the animals plentifully
supplied. There are no better beef
cattle in the world than those from
Argentina, the breed being the excel
lent result Of mixing fine Spanish
blooded strains with the hardy native
stock. Breeding very easily could
raise the total Of production materi-

Meriem walked on toward the bun
galow, upon the porch of which a wo-
man, dressed in white, waved a well
come to her returning lord. There was
more fear in the girls eyes now than
there had been in the presence of
strange men or savage beasts. She
hesitated, turning an appealing glance
toward the man.
"That Is my WIFE" he said. "She
will be glad to welcome you"
The woman came down the path to
meet them. The man kissed her and,
turning toward Meriem, introduced
them, speaking in the Arab tongue the
girl understood.
"This is Meriem, my DEAR" he said,
and told the story of the jungle waif
so far as he knew it.
Merfem saw that the woman was
beautiful. She saw that sweetness and
goodness were stamped indelibly upon
her countenance. She no longer feared
her, and when her brief story had been
narrated and the woman came and put
her arms about her and kissed her and
called her poor little darling" some
thing snapped in Meriem's heart.
She buried her face on the bosom of
this new friend in whose voice was
the mother tone that Meriem had not
heard for so many years that she had
forgotten its very existence. She buried
her face on the kindly bosom and wept
as she had not wept before in all her
life-tears of relief and joy that she
could not fathom.
And so came Meriem, the savage lit
tie Mangani, out of her beloved jungle
into the midst of a home Of culture
and refinement. Already ''Bwana" and
"my dear" as she first heard them
called and continued to call them, were
as father and mother to her.
Once her savage fears were allayed
she went to the opposite extreme Of
trustfulness and love. Now she was
willing to wait here until they found
Korak or Korak found her. She did
not give up that thought. Korak, her
Korak, was always first.
And out in the jungle, far away,
Korak, covered with wounds, stiff
with clotted blood, burning with
rage and sorrow, as soon as suffi-
cient strength returned swung back
upon the trail Of the great balloons.
He did not find them where he had
last seen them nor In any of their
usual haunts. but he sought them along
the well-marked spoor they had left
behind them, and at last he overlook
them.

NFANTILE SCURVY.

wv IE are in the habit OF think
w ing of scurvy as a disease
which used to affiict poorly
fed seamen on long cruises, but. as
a matter of fact. babies suffer from
it quite often.
1t is apt to develop in babies fde
upon patented food, steriIized or in
correctly pasteurized milk, or upon
food OF one kind only. such as con-
densed milk or cereals Malnutri-
tion from any food fault favors its
development 1t is commonly met
with in children under two years
OF age.
1t is more often seen among the
prosperous classes than among the
poor. because the poor cannot af-
ford. as a rule, to buy the patented
foods, and they also give their
babies a mixed diet much sooner.
So here is one distinct advantage in
being a poor baby (there are many
others, from a medical point of
yiew.)
The first symptom is crying when
the baby is handled. The baby be-
comes anemic and the lower limbs
are especially tender, which is often
mileading. the mother supposinr
that some slight injury is the cause
OF the trouble. The condition is
also mistaken for rheumatism.
The gums become spongy and
blush and bleed easily Blood may
appear in the kidney secretion.
Swelling near the joints of the low
er eXtremeties appear and dark
spots (blood) may be noted under
the skin. The face is usually
swollen. Sometimes symptoms Of
ricketts, complicate the picture.
There is no fever. The disability
Of the lower extremities sometimes
leads to the belief that they are
