Recording Tree Growth.

Botanists Of the Carnegie institu-
ton keep an interesting record of the
growth of tree trunks, with their daily
and seasonal changes of shape, by
means of new apparatus called the
"dendrograph." 1t has two forms,
each using as supporting belt a
series of wooden blocks hinged to-
gether and fastened around the tree.
In one form of the instrument, plung-
ers, supporting an encircling wire at
their outer ends, touch the trunk at
selected points, and any movement
of a plunger is transmitted by the
wire to a recording pen on revolv-
ing cylinder. In the other form, a
yoke carrying four contacts surrounds
the tree, the variation in the distances
between the contacts caused by any
change in the trees girth being indi-
Gated on the recording drum.

HAPPENED IN THE STONE AGE
Man Showed His Great Devotion
for His Mate.

Club, the cave man, hurried home
through the early dawn. Slung from
his shoulder were three large stones.
and on his face was an anxious grin.
At the door Of the cave stood Bla, the
cave woman, scowl of wrath in her
face. and large, knotty club in her
hand.
Club gulped when he saw her, and
hastily set the stones on the ground.
Grinning sheepishly, he approached
and struck her affectionately on the
side of the jaw, following the blow
with a tug at her black hair. But
these Establishments were all lost on
Bla, the stOny-hearted, who fixed him
in the eye with the largest knot on
the club.
Have heart, sweetie'-or words
to that effect-begged Club.
At the sound Of his voice, Bla broke
into prehistoric shuttle and removed
the club from her mates eye.
Where have you been?" she shifted.
It'll bet | know. I'll bet you've been
over with those nasty, lowdown tree
dwellers rolling bones till all hours,
with your wife and children waiting
for you and thinking you had been
run over by glacier, and the best
ichthyosaurus stew you ever saw 60
ing to waste. O! Boo! Hoow
Breaking into loud, paleolithic sobs,
Bla once more brought the club to
bear upon her spouse's pithecanthropic
map. Club was grieved and her re-
proaches made him feel guilty, so he
knocked her down apologetically and
confessed that she was right He had
been rolling bones with Sweek, the
tree dweller.

knew you were rolling bones. A fine
thing for a man with a family to
gamble away all his good shells and
stones and even skins, when the chill
dren have hardly a whole fig leaf to
their names, and the meat is so low
that unless you scare up dinoSaur
this very day we shall starve. Fine go
ings on for man with family that
needs to be saving his strength to
60 out and get meat for them and fig
leaves and skins to keep them warm 7"
Club was repentant.
"Bla," he said. II know it was
wrong to gamble-very, very wrong
but see what won from Sweek, the
tree dweller. See the three hollow
stones filled with dinosaur meat and
Adams apples. Wah! What do you
think of your Club nOw?
Bla, in the transports of her JOY
flung the club into the cave. and flung
herself upon Clubs neck, choking him
violently.
"My own Club ~ she cried. Come
into the cave and have breakfast"

Results.

Omsk, May 27.-The general staff
of the Siberian army has received re.

The Bolshevik organ, Nash Put,

face last year. In spite of our efforts
the army moves swiftly toward the

NAVAL SEAPLANE
REACHES LISBON
American Craft Is First Airship OF
Any Kind to Fly Across
Atlantic.
GOING ON TO PLYMOUTH
Lieut.. Com. Albert c. Read and Party
Make Last Leg of the Journey
From the Azores to Portugal
in 9 Hours and 43 Minutes.

Washington, May 2S.-The United
States navy seaplane NC-4, blazing
the way of the first air trail from the
under Lieut.. Com. Albert c.. Read,
swept into the harbor at Lisbon,
Portugal. 1t was the first airship of
any kind to cross the Atlantic under
its own power.
Taking the air at Ponta Delgada,
Azores, at 6:18 a. M, Washington
time, on the last leg of the trans
oceanic portion Of the voyage from
Rockaway Beach, Long Island, to
Plymouth, England, the NC-4 covered
the 800 miles in hours and 43 min
utes, maintaining an average speed Of
better than 80 knots an hour. The to-
tai elapsed flying time from Newfound-
minutes.
At the first opportunity, the big
plane will continue to Plymouth, us
nautical miles to the north.
The great object of all effort lavished
on the undertaking-na of a
seaplane across the Atlantic through
the air-has been accomplished. Twen-
tieth Century transportation has
reached a new pinnacle and the Unit
ed States navy has led the way. -
Plans Work Out Like Machine.
Naval officials emphasized that the
long delay at the Azores was due to
the weather and to no weakness Of
the machine or its daring crew, nor
to any failure of the carefully laid
plans of the department to guide the
fiiers to their destination. The IA de-
stroyers strung from Ponta Delgada to
Lisbon reported with machine-like pre-
cision today as the flight progressed.
The plane never was off its course and
there was no moment when officials in
Washington did not know to within a
few miles where it was in the air.
To maintain adequate communica-
ton for this stage of the journey the
destroyers stuck to their posts after
the flying boat had passed, relaying
back to Ponta Delgada reports from
ships further eastward. The chain
was not broken until after the plane
was moored for the night near the
cruiser, Rochester at Lisbon.
Destroyers Ready With Flares.
The destroyers that will guide them
across the bay already are in posi-
ton, provided with the flares and
bombs that have made the trip safe
thus far-except for the fog that
forced the other two machines of the
seaplane division, the NC-1 and NC-3,
out of the flight after they had safely
negotiated virtually the entire distance
from Newfoundland to the Azores.
Commander Read had with him in
the flight to Lisbon the same crew as
that which left Newfoundland on the
NC-4 on May 16. Lieuts. E. F. Stones,
of the coast guard and w. X. Hinton
were the pilots, with Ensign R. c..
Rodd as radio operator and Chief Ma
chinist's Mate E. S. Rhodes as reserve
pilot engineer. The crew was met at
Lisbon by most of the members of the
crews of the NC-1 and NC-3, who had
preceded them on destroyer.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain eitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judgin- from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy. developing arms, neck
and bust. and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back BY feeding the nerves directly ana
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro -phos-
phate quickly produces welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing:
This increase in weight also carries WIN
It a general improvement In the heaitn:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, duE
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleepIessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to its remarkable nesh-
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

LINES PLANNING
TO MOVE CROPS
Director General Hines Decides
to Control Shipments by
Permit System.
EXPECT BUMPER YIELD
Problems Involved in the Transporta-
tion of 1,2oo, 200, 900 Bushels of
Wheat Are Being Solved by
Rail Administration. 40.

Washington, May 2S.-The railroad
administration will use permits for the
shipment of grain from interior mar
kets this year to control the move
ment of the mammoth harvest just
beginning. s ..
Problems involved in the transpor-
tation of 1,200,000,000 bushels of
wheat, the yield estimated by the De-
partment of Agriculture, have been un-
der consideration by Director General
Hines. r-.
1t was apparent that unless some
method of restriction was devised, con-
gestion which might paralyze all trans
portation facilities was possible when
the farmers eager to market wheat
quickly under the standard price guar
antee, began to pour the crop onto the
market.
After consultation with leading grain
men in the West and officials of the
Food Administrations grain corpora
ton, the director general decided that
a permit system similar to that in
effect during the freight congestion of
last year would be the best solution of
the problem.
Shipping Zones to Be Established.
Machinery for operation of the sys-
tenn is being worked out at the Rail-
road administration Grain control
committees will be instituted at each
market and perhaps shipping zones es-
tablished. Although the harvest al
ready has started on the southern edge
Of the wheat belt, the system will not
be put into use until threshing begins
next month in the Middle West
THE permit system is a beneficial
system of controlling traffic at the
sources to prevent serious congestion
on the road and at destination" Di-
rector General Hines said. while the
permit system at the ports is still in
operation it was suspended few
months ago at the interior markets
due to improved ocean shipping and
the fact that the bulk of the grain had
been moved" -s'-.

CURIOUS IDEAS ABOUT GOLF

some Of the curious ideas they had

Do you need many dogs to play golf?"
A younger lady said she knew ex-
actly how the game was played.
'They get what they call caddies
to hunt about in the grass till they
find a round stone, and then they
hit it into a rabbit hole"
A third lady, who had evidently en-
joyed a nearer view of the game, said:
1T is played by two men. One is
gentleman and the other is COM

a ball on lump of dirt, and the gen.

Steamer Without Wireless.
Some LOO miles out from New
Foundland and 500 from the Irish
coast, on Monday, May 10, the aviators,
making the best of an engine which
was failing to function properly, were
forced to alight on the water. The
little Danish steamer Mary, bound
from New Orleans and Norfolk for
Aarhuus. Denmark, picked the way
farers up and continued on her north
ward voyage.
Lacking wireless outfit, the cap
tain of the steamer was obliged to
withhold the good tidings of the res
cue until he was opposite Butt of Lew
is. where the information was signal
ed by means of flags, that Hawker and
Grieye were aboard. .
Word was flashed to the British ad-
miralty, which sent out destroyers to
overtake the Danish vessel and obtain
confirmation. This was done, and one
of the destroyers took the airmen off,
and later transferred them to the flag
ship Revenge.
From this safe haven Hawker sent
a message that his machine had
stopped owing to the blocking of the
