COMES OF ANCIENT FAMILY

information has been received from
Copenhagen that the Danish consul
general in London. j. E. Boegglld,
has been appointed Danish minister
to Iceland. Mr.. Boeggild is widely
known in America, having been
Danish consul in San Francisco and
Chicago, consul-general in New York
and commercial adviser to the Danish
legation in Washington.
Mr.. Boeggild seems especially fitted
for the post, as he has Icelandic
blood in his veins. On the maternal
side he is descended from the Tulinius
family of Iceland, which traces its
origin back to Thorfnn Karlsefni,
one of the famous Norsemen who
discovered America nearly one thou
sand years ago.
Karlsefni, of whom statue, was
recently erected in Philadelphia, was
the first white man to settle in AM
c:::co, spending two years in "Wine-
land" where his wife, Gutrid, gave
b!:tl? TO boy, who was called Snorri'
From Snorri descended a numerous
and distinguished lineage, among
who is numbered the Tulinius FAM
:'v. and the new minister to Iceland
ic chus lay claim of being descended
| fro the first white man born in A
! merica. a.-Detroit News.

NEW RACE OF MEN

New York, May 1.-THE exploring
party headed by DIR. Alexandria
Hamilton Rice, which clashed last
February near the banks of the Orio-
COW with giant cannibals, returned
here today from Para on the steamer
Alban.
Arriving with DR.. Rice were Mrs.
Rice, formerly Mrs. George D. Wild
ener, of Philadelphia, who accom-
panied her husband on some of his
South American explorations; Ches-
ter H. Ober, geographer of the ex-
pedition; A. W. Swanson, ]. E.
Mason and DR. G E. Byers.
While exploring an unnamed tribu-
tary of the Orinco, DR.. Rice's party
was attacked by wild Indians. The
discharge of firearms failed to scare
off these savages who were described
as being large and very fierce.
The explorers only escaped, it was
said, by firing into the savages killing
either two or three. The party, on the
advice of the guides then turned
back. Mrs. Rice was not with her hus-
band on this particular occasion.
"The cannibals who attacked the
party were almost white in color.
Professor Rice said. "In all my years
in the tropical jungles I have never
seen such ferocious looking savages
Nearly all were armed with bows and
arrows and carried spears and blow
guns. These men were more than s'X
feet tall and I recognized them as

trol,' Daniels declared. "Let me

Congress and to the American people
IS plainly as 1 can what is at the
bottom OF all this blatant hue and
cry you have been deluged with.
Deeper than the egotism and preju-
dice, if you have not already seen the
cloven hocf, you will find a deep
seated determination to organize the
navy department upon the approved
russian = plan by giving all power
to the military"
Daniels said some officers Of the,
navy wish to see civilian authority
discarded and military direction sub,
stituted. "I have no quarrel with any
officer who believes the Prussian sys-
tenn is better than the American sys-,
tenn, but most of those wao advocate
it camoufage their Prussian ideas"
Daniels declared. "They wish to,

Reviews Increase.
The witness reviewed the increase
in size of the navy during his admin
istration and the results of naval ac-
tivities in the war.
"Yet there has never been a time,
except in the throes of war, when
those who wished a Won Tirpitz and
military control have not been ready
to discount the great work of the
department and the navy in order to
try to induce Congress to pass legls-
| lation which would take the admin
istration out of civilians hands,"
Daniels said. Before the war some
of them openly advocated the Ger
manmllltary method. oilCc tne lall-
ure of the German plan they do not
call their demand for full military
responsibility by its right name.
No English-speaking nation has
placed full military authority in the
hands of military executive, Dam
icls declared. He quoted former
Secretary Long, secretary of the
navy during the Spanish-Am"rican
War. as having sounded a warning
against plan at thai time For the
transfer of naval authority to mil
itary man.

SOY BEANS VS.. COWPEAS

When the soy bean is compared
with the cowpea it is more valuable
in many ways.
l. It will collect more nitrogen
from the, atmospherethan vii! the
cowpea, thus being great soil i'm
proven.
2. The seed will remain on the
ground until late fall-November or
December-without rotting, thus
giving a longer grazing period.
8. 1t is erect in growth, without
runners, and can therefore be
easily cut for hay or silage.
4. 1t will resist drought better than
the cowpea will.
5. There are varieties of soy beans
that will mature seed much earlier
that the earliest varieties of cowpeas;
hence it can be planted earlier and
later than the cowpeas.
6. 1t will produce far more grain
than will the cowpea; and the richer
the soil the more grain there will be;
whereas the cowpea makes more vine
and less peas.
T. The SOY bean natures all its fruit
at once and can therefore be harvest
ed with machinery and the seed re-
moved by common threshing machin-
ery, whereas the cowpea must be
| picked by hand and threshed by spe-
cial machinery.
8. 1t is not troubled by weevils and
other insect pests which injufe cow
peas.
! 9. Its chief advantage over the
cowpea is that it is richer in protein
and fat. 1t contains an average OF
35.4 per cent of portein nd 2O.4 per
cent of oil, as compared with 25.3 per
cent of portein and is per cent OF
oil in cowpeas.
On the other hand the cow p2a Eas
some advantage over the soy bean;
|. The soy bean cannot be grown
as we'll as the cowpea in corn.
2. It cannot be grown as well
bros least, for the seed do not germl-
nate uniformly, because they need
more moisture
g. Soy bean hay is harder to cure,
because leaves shed so readily. |
4. The soy bean must, to get the
best results, be planted in rows and
worked.-Prof. j. N. Harper.

ferocious of all the savages in either
Venezuela, Columbia or Brazil.
The professor declared he believed
it was the first time that the canni-
balls were met by white men since

pedition discovered them. Twenty
minutes after the Rice party met the
savages, he added everything was
