Lumbana. Nuts In Philippines.

The bureau of agriculture in the
Philippines has been making efforts
to develop the lumbang, or candlenut.
industry in the islands, and to encour!
age the planting of trees to replace
the wild trees, which are being extern
sively destroyed. A. w. Prautch, an
expert of the bureau, has made q
study of this industry for some years.
At present, it is conducted In very
haphazard manner, the collecting be-
ing done chiefly by the wild tribes and
the trade being conducted by Chinese.
Most of the nuts that reach Manila
come from Mindanao. The soft-shelled
variety is the one that offers the best
possibilities of development for COM
mercial purposes. Lumbang oil Is
used as an illuminant, in painting, and
ror .calking.-Scientific American.

German spies found this out. Ger
man spies knew that the U-boat had
failed because of the barrage Of mines
that the British and American navies
had strung across the North sea. Ger
man spies sent word to the general
staff that in spite of their best efforts
to check the Americans at the home
base, they were outgeneraled. So the
German staff learned that the Ame1i-
cans had thrown their unlimited re-
sources into the scales with the allies,
and the German staff turned yellow"
