Chinese Trees Like Ours.

Separated by 5000 miles of ocean
and 1000 miles Of land, the eastern
part OF North America and the forest
areas of China present some striking
.resemblances In vegetation. Accord
ing to the Journal of Heredity, three
species of forest trees that grow wild
In both China and the United States,
but nowhere else, are particularly
noteworthy. They are the tulip pop
lar (Lirfodendron sp.), the %sassafras
(Sassafras sp.) and the hickory
(Carya sp.). 1t has been decided by
,geologists that China and America
were at one time united by land.
Hence the trees just mentioned prob
ably grew continuously from China to
the eastern United States, with diff
f~erences between different localities

feIyeen various parts of the United

Severed conditions were such that the
trees became centered In the eastern
part of this country and in parts OF
China where the climatic conditions
were similar. The growth was hence
forth discontinuous, broken by the
Pacific ocean and the arid plains Of
the far West. Under such conditions,
the Chinese and American species. al
though far apart, have remained vir-
tually Identical through hundreds of
generations.-Youth's Companion.

| ton from larger fishes, but much
| greater protection from man, since IL
has been commonly used by fishers as
bait. The only other real h~indrance
was found in the fact that mosquitoes
may breed in water so badly polluted
that the top minnow is almost in
stantly killed when placed therein.
The pith of the results OF this in
yestigation is thai wherever mosqut-
toes were breeding p~rolihcally top
minnows were not present, but II in
troduced, the mosquito breeding was
greatly reduced If not wholly elimin-
ated. And where 1t was not eliminate
ed, and the minnows were present IN
large enough quantity. 1t developed
that the immature mosquitoes were SO
protected by debris or floating vege-
tation that the minnows could not de-
tect them or reach them.
This leads to the conclusion h
while not all aquatic plants are pro-
tections to mosquitoes, some even be-
ing repellant, 1t is very desirable to
remove from the ponds or swamps
where the mosquitoes are breeding
and minnows are to be introduced, all
plants having leaves just below the
surface. This is not difficult. The
Bureau Of Fisheries estimates hat
two laborers equipped with a spray
can, rakes, hoes and some oil, could
care for a number of ponds through
out the mosquito season.
If onyone thinks it is not worth
while. stop and consider the minnow's
actually demonstrated ability as a
"sniper'' of the swamps. The official
investigator states he observed that
one adult female top minnow ate l65
large mosquitoe larvae in less than
IL hours. Another worker. observ-
ing the top minnow in the Philippine
Islands, says one pair of half-grown
minnows, by actual count, ate 5041
mosquito larvae in two months and a
half.
A mosquito war may be staged
with a very small number of minnows.
but if the water provided protection
for the mosquitoes, a larger number
is desirable. The minnows multiply
rapidly, but there Is apparently no
danger of overstocking.
1t seems to be a case of "the more
the merrier." Or perhaps-from the
mosquitoes point of view-"the more
the sadder."

WAR ON.LLOYD GEORGE
THREATENS TO GO ON
Lord Northcliffe's Papers Say Pre-
mier Disregards Reports
Made by Experts.

LONDON, April II (by the Associat-
ed Press).-Open warfare between
David Lloyd George, British prime
minister. and Lord NorthcIiffe, Eng
lands foremost publisher, is the most
interesting result of the premier's S
flying visit to London.
Lord Northcliffe and Baron Beaver
brook. who served as the official eye
witness" for the Canadian govern
ment at the front in 1916 and later
became chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster and minister of informa
ton, always have been credited with
being the powers behind the scenes
who brought about the retirement of
Premier Asquith and the succession of
Lloyd George to the head of the ca BIZ
net. Northcliffes newspapers gave
Lloyd George general support
throughout his management of the
war.
The premier in his speech in the
house of commons credited this fact
to the disease OF vanity" and point
edly limited that it was due to disap-
pointment on Lord Northcliffe's part
peace delegation.
Iowance when man is laboring un-
der a keen sense of disappointment.
However unjustified and however
ridiculous the expectations may be,
under those circumstances he always
is apt to think the world is badly
rum" said Lloyd George.
The Times today replied with a
slashing attack, accusing Lloyd
George of overlooking reports pre-
pared by experts.
After saying that the record of the
Times during the war speaks for it
self. the newspaper apparently
threatens future attack, saying
Some points of his war records re-
quire to be more fully known"
The Evening News today prints a
cartoon of the premier lowering over
Westminster in an airplane labeled
Hot Air" with bombs for the North
cliffe papers.
