Iron and Steel Work in India.

India has already laid the basis of q
steel industry in the establishment OF
two important and successful iron and
steel works; namely, the Bengal Iron
and Steel works at Kulti, which turns
out 100000 tons of pig iron per month
and the Tata Iron and Steel works al
Sakchi, about 155 miles from Calcutta
which has a monthly production of
about 10000 tons. Most of this pig
iron is converted into steel, which is
largely used locally in the production
of rails and the smaller structural
shapes, but even with the additional
furnaces now under construction
which in the case of the Tata works
will more than triple its previous ca
pacity, not more than a fraction OF
India's needs of iron and steel will be
supplied from these two works.

are the friends that never fail, and the
men and women that only live in books
are the best and the most real friends
of all.
If l were to set down the names o.
the 20 friends who mean most to me,
should find that more than one-half OF
them lived in the novels of Dickens
and Thackeray, Dumas and Daudet
Wells and Hardy and Meredith.
The happy life is not spent altogeth
er in the world of streets and shops
and offices. A large part of it must Be
lived in the world of imagination. And
living with the imagination of great
writer's we. too, learn to dream, and
the happiest homes in the world ar;
the castles in the air that we build for
ourselves. They are, indeed, the only
homes the foundations of which are
unshakable rocks.-Sidney Dark, m

East Holds Rubber Supremacy.

Until ten years ago rubber meant
rubber from Brazil. Today Brazirs
supremacy is gone. In less than q
decade the far east has jumped to the
front and now is producing nine-terthe
of the rubber of the world. In the
late sixties, just when the first expert.
ments with the automobile were under
way, an Englishman, II. A. Wickham
who had spent much time in Brazil
conceived the idea that rubber plants
could be grown on plantations.
Securing a commission from the In
dia government he boxed up thousands
of seeds, chartered a derelict ship up
the Amazon, and started for India.
The fist trees grew at Heneratgoda
in 1881, and that same year the first
experiments in tapping began.

MEN ASCEND FROM W0RMs7
Samoan Tradition as to the Origin of
Humanity Is One of the Most
Curious.

As term of ridicule, human beings
have often been called worms" and
in this connection the inhabitants of
Samoa have a strange superstition re
garding our origin. A very peculiar
occurrence takes place in Samoa once
year for a period of 4S hours. To
ward the end of October, a dense
mass of sea worms appears on the sur
face Of the water surrounding Samoa.
These forms, which are of various
lengths, are great delicacies Of the
Samoans! known as ''Palolo," they
are sought for with enthusiasm by eg-
cry native man, woman and child, and
as they only stay on the surface of the
water for a short time, in favored
parts, these worms want watching for
1t is in connection with these weird
worms that the Samoans' superstition
arose. The story is that Tangaloa, the
chief god Of the Samoans, sent his
daughter, Turf, down to earth to
search for a home. In all the waste of
water there was only a bare rock, and
she went and told her father of the
shortage of dwelling accommodation.
He thereupon gave her a wild vine to
plant on the rock which she had found.
and it flourished for time, then died.
Turf was vexed TO think the vine
would not thrive, but her father or
dered her TO dig it up. This she did,
and discovered that all the withered
leaves had turned TO worms, and that.
in some strange manner, these worms
afterward became men and women,
And thus the Samoans say, men were
created

Potatoes Used as currency.

Potatoes are now used as the stand
ard currency in certain remote agri-
cultural districts of Poland. since the
value Of the potato auctuates less
than that of paper money. In the
district around Grodno, for instance,
the American Red Cross reports, all
the local help employed in warehous-
ing. or in the activities of the field
units is remunerated in a weekly wage

1t was a gray, faded old sign, swing

cusing ray of sunshine slanting across
it. Pierre had made it, after a porten-

Pierre Pastoreau the, prince of pastry
cooks, 'sans rivale," as his adniring
customers said Of him?
In the CHEEKY little shop on the cor
ner of Rue Royale and La Champlesse
the CHEEKY little "marmiton' and his
CHEEKY little wife conducted the bust
ness that had made them famous.
Great long names did Pierre apply to
his masterpieces. "MerveiIlevendant-
sucre" was the, name of marvellous
pie, and LondrepleveiIlance," this fat
little chef, in a burst of inspiration,
had called a gorgeous tart.
His customers accepted each new
masterpiece reverently, as one would
regard something sacred. Madeleine
his wife, as she sat in her chair by
the window, would greet each custom
er with a ''Bonjour, Madame" or a
Belle journee, Msieu" She greeted
everyone with a smile, but many there
were who knew that an effort was be-
hind il.
For, more than two years ago their
son, their jean, had given her last
embrace, had clasped Pierre's hand
again and again, and marched proud
" out of the little shop, down the sun
lit street around the corner, and off to
the war. Ever since they had been
watching for the trim figure, listening
for the firm step, waiting for their boy
to return.
Perhaps he is dead,n said Made
leine, solemnly, when word from their
loved one had ceased. ISL.

that great wind storm was coming.
The sign creaked in the wind, but up
above there was an omipous cracking;
the great beam was giving way in the
gale, and from the ancient old wall to
which it was attached, stone fell now
and then to the pavement. Pierre had
been preparing to mend the wall.
He was recalled to the front Of the
shop by a cry from his wife:
Pierre! Come. A letter." and the
excited Madeleine thrust a paper into
his pudgy hand.
''Peste!" he cried, 'tmy glasses
He adjusted them and excitedly read

something at once painful and com

there was brought to US a young man,
a victim Of shell-shock, who does not

determined to summon you here that
you might learn the truth, when dis

wandered off in the night. I can find
no trace of him, but feel it my duty

After q long while, Pierre breathed
heavily, then stopped to pick up the
paper which had fiuttered to the floor.
And then the two old people were
together on their knees by the window,
offering silent prayer for their boy to
be sent back to them. For long while
they knelt there.
They listened dumbly to the furious
wind, until Madeleine said slowly: ~
IF our boy should be out in this
somewhere near US"
A sudden, loud crack, as of over
strained wood giving way, and then a
muff1ed thud from outside their door.
'sThe beam!" cried Pierre. at has
given way at last! God help anyone
who happens to be near it"
The gale roared more furiously than
ever, and suddenly stopped for brief
moment. And then the two rushed TO
the door. Could they be mistaken, or
had they heard human voice-of
some one in pain?
On the steps, lying across the pave
ment, was the great beam, and under
it the form of man. They raised him
up, and in the black shadow of the
corner struggled to. drag the uncon-
scious figure into5the shop. They laid
him very gently upon the couch in the
back room, and then Pierre brought in
a light.
They stood transfxed and stared at
the face of the man before them.-
Madeleine uttered piercing cry, and
then she was on her knees at the side
of the bed.
''Water, brandy-hurry she cried.
Gentle fingers undid the coat and
rested for a moment over the heart.
HE is alivel God be thankedv' she
sobbed. And as Pierre rushed in she
took the things he held out and did all
that yearning mother love could do.
The man stirred suddenly and strug-
gled slowly to a sitting posture.
Strange, the bewildered way the hand
CROPPED to the bandaged head-the sud
den dawning look in his eyes, as of
man who had been cropping in dark
ness and is suddenly confronted with
dazzling sunshine. Then he uttered a
cry that spoke of a mind recovered,
memory regained:
