After Pirates Gold

The ever-stirring lure of pirates
gold has started another little band
of adventurers off to Cocos islands
where, at the bottom OF snug little
harbor. are said TO lie huge brass
bound treasure chests. In little
craft of 60 feet. the eight men who
form the expedition have set sail
from port on the Atlantic seaboard.
The central figure In the group is
Andrew B. Cullen of Haileybury. Ont.
who Is the owner and operator of
the instrument with which he claims to
be able to discover any kind of
metal. and upon which the pro-
moters depend to find their fabulous
riches.
Another essential figure is one Nc
Grath of New York, the promoter Of
the venture. They will be accom-
panied by prospector of Swedish
descent who Is said to have discov-
cred book and maps In the Hudson
bay district of northern Canada
which contains directions as to the
approximate location Of the hidden
riches of the pirates OF olden days.
The instrument is expected to do the
rest.

SAFETY OF THE AIRPLANE
Passenger Can Expect to Fly MIiiior
Miles Without Danger Of
Accident

The airplane is the fastest machine
man has ever built, but fast as 1t Is
II has not yet caught up with Its repu.
tation for danger. That reputation
vas acquired when the plane was In
Its infancy. when man was just be-
ginning to master the air and In the
mind of the average man 1t has not
yet been downed.
The British air ministry collected
statistics on all commercial flying In
that country for the last seven months
of 1919. The results amazed even
pilots and engineers. who long had re-
garded the risk in flying as negligible
says the New York Sun. The figures
covered 1880 flights by 403 machines
of a total time in the air of S,36S
hours. during which time $4,000 miles
were travelled. In all this flying In
COCO weather and bad. one passenger
was killed In every 1906 passenger
hours In the air. To put It different
iy, a single passenger might expect to
fly about 1.1S0.0O0 miles-forty-severi
times around the world-before becom-
ing the victim of fatal crash. That
sounds utterly absurd to the land
sturm. yet the British government
stands back of the ngures.
The pilots who tested experimental
planes did stunt flying and ran other
unnecessary risks showed .4S death
per 1000 hours. as compared with the
passenger rate of .06 per 1000 hours.
Coming nearer home. figures COM
piled by the postofiice department
show to the end of last year 405, 1000
miles flown with loss of three pilots.
These pilots, of course. ran many
risks. for they carried the mail through
rain. snow and fog that blinded them.
Even In training pilots the figures
are exceedingly low. From the be
ginning of the war until the end OF
1918. 1900 men learned to fly In the
United States air service. They spent
705. .243 hours in the air. One man
was killed In every 2,310 hours. OF
one to about every 10000 miles. with
these positive proofs of aviation's
safety before us, American airpane
manufacturers are going ahead build
ing planes, confident that the realiza.
tion soon will come everywhere that
man can take care of himself as sure
ly in the realm of the birds as in the
realm of the fishes.

lower per pound than that commanded
by potatoes packed In the customary
manner.
At present there are about fifty
types of hampers and over twenty
sizes of round-stave baskets in use.
Many Of these sizes are simply the
outgrowth. Of custom In various ship
ping localities; others are used for the
express purpose of deception. And
aside from the confusion and uncer-
tainty that result from the use of doz-
ems of different kinds of containers
millions Of dollars are annually lost
through destruction of produce in
transit on account Of the weak con-
struction of the containers used.
Would Reduce Number Of Containers.
Many large growers. shippers and
basket manufacturers appreciate the
desirability of reducing the number of
these containers. and nationwide
movement is on foot to eliminate
many of them. Cooperative selling
organizations are already doing much
to promote uniformity and Standard
zation. II means money to them not
only because of the familiarity of the
trade with the containers used but In
permitting methods of loading into
cars that reduce the likelihood of
breakage to a minimum.
After careful canvass of the situ-
alton the bureau of markets believes.
and in this those who have studied the
problem are of the same opinion, that
five standard hampers and four stand
ard round-stave baskets are sufficient
to meet all shipping requirements. The
specifications provide for volume, d.
mensions or shape and strength. In
addition to the advantages of uniform
ity the adoption Of these sizes will
enable the railroads to work out load
Ing rules that will permit of a more
intensive utilization of car space, and
which will be bound to reduce to a
minimum claims on account of dam
age in transit.

sloniflcant Fossil Remains.

The question of the origin of the
West Indies win be decided, scientists
aver. when the indigenous animal life
is found to be related indisputabiy to
that of the South and Central Ameri-
can mainland. But mammals. which.
being wingless. could not have flown
over the Intervening seas. are unfor-
tunately the most poorly represented
group of the higher life of the Antilles.
For this reason much scientific inter
est attaches to recent expedition to
Jamaica. backed by the American Mu-
scum Of Natural History. asserts an
article In Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. Believing thnt the West Indies
once had much larger mammal in
habitation than today. the expedition
concerned itself with the excavation
of fossil fauna from the islands lime
stone caves. Many fossils were found.

MOSAIC DISEASE OF
POTATOES PREVENTED
Yield of Affected Tubers Is Great
Iy Reduced.
AiIment Is Spread by Aphids or Plant
Lice Which Carry Infection From
One Field to Another-Meas-
urss Of Control.

Prevention of mosaic disease of Irish
potatoes, which decreases yields of af-
fected potatoes 20 to so per cent, and
for which no satisfactory control meas
ures have been generally adopted, now
appears possible as result of series
Of investigations conducted in Maine
by specialists Of the United States
department of agriculture and the
Maine agricultural experiment station.
The essential points are that mosaic
is carried over from season to season
and from farm to farm by planting po-
tatoes from diseased hills. The spread
of mosaic in a field is due mainly to
aphids or plant lice, which feed upon
MOSAIC plants and then upon healthy
ones. The potatoes thus inOculated
may show the disease very soon. or II
may not appear until the following sea-
son. when the progeny will develop
mosaic. Mosaic may be spread also by
rubbing crushed leaves of diseased
plants upon healthy ones. and by in
jections of the juice of diseased plants.
The percentage of diseased plants in
field may not change greatly from
year to year, but the tendency is for
the mosaic to increase. particularly
when aphids are abundant. Seed from
hills that grew near mosaic hills are
more likely to yield mosaic progeny,
and more so II the parent hill contains
only two or three tubers. and as the
relative size of the tuber In the parent
hill Is greater and as the seed-plece
is nearer the bud end or Is larger
The conclusions drawn from the ex-
periments are that the first essential
Is to secure seed stock from fields en-
tirely free from mosaic. or as nearly
so ms can he found. These potatoes
should be Isolated from all fields where

II Is generally agreed that IL food
costs are to be lowered more eco
nomical system Of distribution of farm
products must be perfected and placed
in practical use.
Standardization, say experts Of the
bureau Of markets. United States de-
partment of agriculture. is the essen
tial basis for such system. This
means not only standard grades for
fruits and vegetables, but standards
for the containers in which they are
packed.
Should Sell by Weight
The bureau of markets Is charged
with the enforcement of the United
States standard container act which
provides only for standard capacities
for grape and berry baskets used In
Interstate commerce. The application
of this law has resulted In the wide
spread use OF these containers In In
trastate commerce also, for shippers
have come TO appreciate the benefits
derived from the use of uniform
methods of marketing such fruits.
Standardization of larger shipping
containers, such as hampers and
round-stave baskets. is equally desir-
able, say the bureaus experts. OF
course the best method is to sell prod
uce by the pound, but where it is i'm
practicable to sell by weight uniform
containers should be used. Bushel
baskets of peaches from Georgia and
Colorado should contain the same
quantity of peaches. The same is true
of any other food commodity shipped
In hampers or baskets
An Illustration of how the present
methods result in dissatisfaction is
