As soon as the plants wilt they are no
longer dangerous as source of infec-
lion. In damp regions. however. care
must be taken to gather up these
plants and burn them or otherwise de-
stroy them. lest while lying on the
ground they sprout and SO spread the
disease.
Appearance Of Mosaic Disease.
1t is difficult TO describe the appear
ance of sugar-cane mosaic verbaily.
and this is one of the reasons why the
federal authorities are using bulletin
with colored Illustrations. BY means
of this bulletin anyone can readily as-
certain the exact appearance of infect
ed plants. This disease is an infectious
chlOrosis. similar in many respects 10
the mosaic disease of tobacco, cucuin-
be:, bean. tomato and potato. Scieh-
fists have come to the conclusion that
some virus is responsible for the ap-
pearance of all new cases, and thht the
only source of Infection is some other
infected plant. Experiments in Porto
Rico and elsewhere have repeatedly
demonstrated that cuttings from IN
fected stalks will invariably give rise
to infected plants. The shoots seem
to be notified as soon aS they appear
Therefore. the use of diseased stalks
for planting results in IA wider distrl-
button of the disease and insures the
survival of the virus even in the alb
sence of secondary infections.

MOST ELOQUENT
SPEECH OF WAR

Washington.-The most eloquent
speech made during the war, according
to Bernard NJ. Baruch, former chair
man of the war Industries board, new
er got into print. 1t was made In the
dark days when the cry from France
was "AIen, more men, and the supply
available in the draft was running
low.
General Crowder," says Mr.. Ba-
ruch, "servcd notice on the board that
he must have something like 300'OOO
men, and the question was where they
we're to come from. The draft had
taken out everybody available, and
the only way was to take men from
Industry. Hence the appeal TO the
war industries board.

The biggest feat left for a traveller to perform in
Arabia, perhaps in all Asia, is TO cross the Yemen,
then on TO Nejran, from there along the Wady
Dauasr to Alaj and High Nejd. The southern
most provinces of these lands noted for their
waters and comparative fertility have still TO be
seen by western eyes and it would now seem that
these eyes will be those of an airlnan, whose air.
ship will be more than probably worshiped as
miracle from the celestial blue. He will have to
determine what becomes of the inland flowing
waters of west-centra Arabia. and to throw light
on the mysterious valley region which MOslems
in the middle ages said existed on the north-cen-
ral fringe of the Great desert, and contained half
buried cities among whose ruins the Bedaws
found coins. He should learn much about the
mysterious Kahtan Arabs, and their possible
African origin.
But for the modern Investigator South America
still offers the largest field Of intelligent inquiry.
Regions the poles and In the arid deserts can
only lend themselves to the progress Of material
development In purely auxiliary capacity, or
provide quaint lore OF the customs and conditions
of effete, almost noneXistent tribes. But South
America is teeming with virgin riches that are
only waiting the magic sesame of the aerial po-
neer.
Equipped with powerful flying machines the
work of exploration should proceed more rapidly
than II has ever done. and soon the unexplored
enyrons of the poles patches of central Asia a
large interior of Arabia especially of the Sahara
spots in central Africa, large tracts of South
America especially between the great rivers and
certain areas of Australia should be on the page
of accomplished exploration.

were called in and the scheme. as well

To Eradicate Disease.
The measures of control now being
taken by the federal authorities in 90
operation with various local agencies
were preceded by complete survey of
the Southern states undertaken to as
certain the extent of the infected
areas.
In badly diseased fields the only
remedy is to grind up all the stalks,
say the representatives of the depart
ment of agriculture. This means, OF
course, that carefully selected seed
cane must be brought in from other re-
gions for replanting. There is still an
abundance of healthy stock in Louisi-
ana and the other cane states. so that
the industry should not seriously suf-
fer from these attempts at eradication,

Aerial Exploration Costly.
But aerial exploration is not to be lightly un-
dertaken There is the cost of airplanes, hangars,
landing places and maintenance of personnel. Ex-
ploratiop is a stationary thing at times, and bases
must be erected. 1t is one thing to fly over an
untrodden region and quite another to explore II.
Science demands much knowledge from the modern
explorer Possibly nation or nations could
only furnish the necessary means to provide the
material for the aerial highway and stations which
are Indispensable to satisfactory exploration In
remote quarters of the earth. Hundreds Of miles
of Arabia which westerner has seen have been
flown over by European officers during the war.
Members of these military expeditions have dis
covered most interesting ruins OF halfburied
cities But this work done from properly
stations may prove the jumping-of points for fur
ther expeditions under state aegis. Desert flying
would lead to the linking up of the old caravan
routes by tracking successive oases and then.
from the beaten paths, the wastes adjoining would
be searched for historic ruins.
The fact remains that the aerial pioneer will he
the first In many virgin fields of science and his
tory and will in his quests find the wine Of ad-
venture In bumper draughts.
This Strand Magazine writer is right. These
explored regions of the earth full of fascina-
tion for the explorer For example. take the head
waters of the Amazon and Orinoco-a region Of
mystery that has baffed every explorer from the
conauistadores down TO Theodore Roosevelt. The
airman armed with wireless. quinine pills and fly
screen, ought to succeed In this centures-old
quest Other explorers have died of fever because
they had no quinine or succumbed to the rapids of
the rivers or got lost because they had wireless.
or had been infected and died from the bites of in
sects.
Undoubtedly there is much of importance to the
world be gained by thorough exploration Of this
region. And by way of mystery there is the legend
of the White Indians the Guahariva of the upper
basins. The Spanish explorers of 1750 mentioned
them; an Engshman in 1853 and a Frenchman i'm
1886 reported them; and others have been told
about faem by traders and Indians.

ernments have done little in exploring this vast
region which is full of unknown riches
