FINEST RESINS IN WORLD
able Supply of Tree Products
h Great Demand.

In what " as lately German East
Africa lie great tracts where some
of the finest resins in the world may
be found. This is the gist of an ar
ticle n the Cornhill Magazine which
in few pages lifts a corner OF the
veil from the romance ofthe worlds
copal trade from far Cathay to the
Fiji islands. But the writer's at
tention is fixed on the east coast Of
Africa, to the resins carried by
Arabs from Africa to India for sale
in the markets of Bombay and Cal
cutta. In Sir Richard Burton's day,
as centuries before, Mombassa
traded in ivory, in hippopotamus
te h, in cattle, in cereals, in slaves
fl tie interior, and in resin. It
was the possibilities Of the resin
trade which Sir Richard wished to
investigate. He desired to see the
,copal tree with his own eyes. His
purpose was practical but he could
not refrain from barking back to
those days when Mombassa, the
desc'ate, was, as spoken Of by Camo-
els, a home of ancient grandeur.
Bur ton's optimistic forecast for the
Immediate future Of the resin trade
did not lead to it's development. For
!. ars copals have mainly come from
4 COLA, Bentuela, Congo, Gaboon
and Loanga. Now it would seem as
if, with the passing Of German East
Africa, a fresh opportunity had
arisen for the collection Of those
<stree-products which link US so
strangely with the East"

ONCE HAD FINGERS AND TOES
-Environment Has Caused Change,
Scientists Say.

Scientists say that all animals
started out with ten fingers and ten
toes, and that environment has
caused a great change in both the
ends of the limbs and the limbs
themselves. The fingers were orig
inally the toes Of the fore legs. The
horse, for instance, has developed
into a one-toe, or one-fnger animal,
and the COW into a two-toe animal.
The hen has three toes and part of
another on each foot.
History shows that the horse once
had five toes on each foot The
same is true of the cow, and also of
the hen, scientists say. Something
happened to cause the change, for
the rule Of five fingers and five toes
has been universal. # you examine
a chicken in shell you can see dis
tinctly FIVE toes on each foot, and
there are five little points on the
ends Of each wing, which might de-
velop into fingers, under other con-
ditions. Some of the newborn
chicks toes do not develop.

WHAT NATIVE HAWAIIANS EAT
Compelled to Subsist on Such Plant
and Animal Life Found Along
Their Coasts.

It was because of the limited food
supply, no doubt, that the early
Hawaiians learned to use for food
almost every living thing, both plant
and animal, found along their coasts,
Almost every kind of seaweed that
could possibly be eaten was used for
food by some Hawaiians, while GER
tain of the more attractive algae
were universally used wherever and
whenever it was possible to secure
them from the sea. The hungry
Hawaiian gathered seaweeds, large
and small, and also the fine green
algae Of the fresh water to satisfy
his desire for vegetable food. The
limu had to take the place Of all
green vegetables, such as onions, let
tuce, beets, beans, peas, ETC., as well
as the fruits which now go to make
up a well-balanced diet.
There are over 70 distinct species
Of algae or limu used for food by the
Hawaiians. OF these about 40 are
in general use. Most Of the imu
is gathered by native women and
children, except that which grows in
the deeper or rougher water, far out
on the coral reefs or on exposed
rocks, where expert swimmers are
required, and where q boat is usual
~ needed.

CRESCENT BADGE OF TRIUMPH
Turkish Emblem, Regarded as Essen
! tally Mohammedan In Significance,
10 Of Christian Origin.

The Turkish crescent, although
now regarded as essentially Moham-
medan in significance, is, it appears,
of Christian origin. A crescent moon
was the emblem of the Byzantine
empire and of the Eastern church.
The Turks adopted it as a badge Of
triumph after the capture of Con-
,stantinople in 1853.
With reference to the crescent, the
story Of the origin Of the crescent
shaped Vienna roll is Of curious in
terest. It arose in the sixteenth CEN
tury, when the Turks were besieging
v ma. Failing to carry the city
by assault they began to mine the
walls. at that period the city's
bakehouses were in the walls under
the Notifications, and when the
mines were almost through the
sound Of the work was heard in the
underground bakehouses, and an
alarm was given. To celebrate this
event, the bakers Of Vienna adopted
the Turkish emblem as the form in
which to mold and bake their bread.

far they are not much worked. The
tunnels of the mines at Whitehaven
extend some four miles from shore
under the Irish sea, however, and
there also is some submarine coal
mining at Bolness, near the Firth Of
Forth, and at Monkwearmanth, In
Durham.-Le Pele-M ele, Paris.
The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1919-10-30

the more potent one, is that there is
deep-rooted superstition among the
Chinese that the death of a baby
arises out of punishment to its soul
for sins committed in a previous
state of existence. 1t is, therefore,
an accused creature whose coffin no
one will follow. Therefore, babies
are often laid down by the roadside
to breathe their last. By thus not
allowing them to die in the house,
the parents will not allow the wicked
spirits into which the babies turn to
live under the same roof with them.
WEIGHT OF THE GREAT OCEANS.
1t has been stated that people are
as ignorant of the size of the sea as
they are of matters dealing with as
tronomy. Few are aware, for in
stance, that the Pacific ocean covers
100000 miles; the Atlantic 3d.
0OO,OC0 miles, and the Indian
ocean, Arctic and Antartic, 42,000,-
900 miles. To stow the contents of
the Pacific it would be necessary to
fill a tank one mile long, one mile
vide and one mile deep, every day
Eor 40 years. Put in figures, the
Pacific holds in weight 84,00O,000,-
oOO,OOO,0OO,0OO tons The Atlantic
averages a depth of not quite three
miles It's waters weigh 325,00O,-
00O,OO0,00O,O00 tons and a tank to
contain it would have each Of its
sides 430. miles long.-Tit-Bits.
