THE HUMBLE BEET
May Soon Be A Greater Friend To
Man Than The Potato

School debaters will soon be able
to add to their list of stock subjects
for debate, the question: Which is
the greater friend of man, the
potato or the beet?" And there will
be lot to say in favor of the beet.
Some of our millions OF minor
ode to this vegetable. The beet is
prolific producer Of succulent root
and the coarser kinds make excel
lent cattle feed. People who keep
poultry hang a beet up in the
chicken-house and it is great
thing for the chickens to have to
peck at; it exercizes them in winter
and also gives them needed veg
etable matter. The finer varieties
OF beets make grand dish for the
table, either boiled or picked, and
the tops are fine for greens. The
variety of beet known as chard is
one OF the most useful vegetables
in the whole catalog of garden stuff.
In this beet the growth goes to the
tops and yields an inexhaustible
supply or greens the season through
or the year around in some lati-
tudes. The possibilities of the hum
Bile beet are shown by the fact that
by careful selection 1t has been en-
couraged to produce up to rs per
cent of sugar. A beet is an in
dividual sugar factory, and it's i'm
portance as such is shown by the
fact that when the war started
practically hall the worlds con-
sumption of sugar was derived from
beets. And the latest thing is that
specially selected beets are being
sold by seedsmen for planting in
flower gardens; the foliage is SO
beautiful that these beets are now
used for purely ornamental pur.
poses. One advantage OF the beet
is that it doesn't exhaust the soil as
most vegetables do; on the contrary
it helps build up the soil. II some
body would only develop a strain OF
beets that would give milk, produce
butter and lay eggs, all would be
forgiven. You think this Is a joke
but it isn't; vegetable dairy anu
poultry products will be the com
mon thing before many years. The
possibilities are there; they merely
await the lAtience and energy OF
some Edison OF Burbank to see anu
develop them. The time Is coming
when the equivalent of meat, milk.

HINDU MYSTERY SHOWN.
Noted Basket Trick Is Performed In
All Sections Of India.

All Sections Of India.
Those who have been to India can
hardly have failed to see the great
basket trick. Indeed this tricle has
been performed on the theatrical
stage in Europe and America, by Hin.
du magicians, and always with start.
ling effect. Travellers have told ex-
aggerated tales about it, but when In.
vestigated 1t proves to have no more
mystery or real magic about 1t than
any of the tricks which form the
stock in trade Of professional rnagi-
clans in all countries.
A large basket is brought on the
scene. This has hinged top which
opens up to show the inside empty.
The magician displays 1t to the audi
ence. Meantime Hindu girl runs
out and exhibits herself TO all, so that
they can identify her again. She is
dressed in clothes of brilliant colors,
to make this easier.
The magician then starts to catch
her and she runs about and tries to
escape from him. She darts in and
out, but finally he grabs her. throws
sheet over her, Grams her into the
basket and shuts the lid. Then he
takes sword and jabs 1t down
through the basket a number of times.
The girl utters horrible screams,
which grow weaker and at leangth
cease, and the magician withdraxs

ed with blood.
In conclusion, he opens the basket
and shows it apparently empty, and
as his two assistants are CARRYING
1t away. the girl springs out from
among the audience and exhibits her.
self alive and unharmed.
A considerable amount of dexterity
is involvedin the performance, but
It is nothing but piece Of common
trickery throughout. The basket has
movable partition in it. The girl
who Is placed in the basket is q
substitute girl, and is very slender;
she is contortionist and can twist
herself up into remarkably small
space-being trained for this by
months of practice.
When the magician chases the
original girl, she manages to run be-
hind screen or some other object,
and 1t is at this moment that the
magician throws the sheet over the
substitute girl, who is dressed in tie
same brilliant colors as the first one
and changes places with her. The
magician places the substitute girl in
the basket, but the audience are un-
der the fixed impression that IT IL
the same girl they have already seen.

When Europeans Learned OF New

When Europeans Learned OF New
Worlds Size.
It was not until some thirty years
after Columbus discovered America
that the Europeans learned OF the
new worlds immense size. The ex-
plorers who visited 1t In those early
years believed America to be an
archipelago and constantly sought
for a strait or passage through 1t
which would permit them to reach
the spice islands of the east to make
a fortune for themselves by carrying
home cargoes of the valuable prod
ucts OF that region.
AS every schoolboy knows II was
Magellan, a Portuguese captain In
the service of Spain. who found the
passage round the southern extremity
OF South America. With rebeilious
crew he had spent several months
along the Brazilian coast. then. de-
spite the fear that the vessel was
heading directly for the south pole
whence they could never return. they
sailed south along the coast. On Oct.
21, 1890, his little fiotilla entered tue
strait at the southern end Of the cen
t.nent which now bears Magellan's
name. In honor of the day they called
It the "Strait OF the Eleven Thousand
Virgins"

four times it's strength. while the
same Is expected to be done at San

If 1t is found that the plant at Hon

open to Manila, only a substation will
be maintained at Guam. Otherwise a
large plant will be constructed at that

along the coast lines has been in the
course of development for the past
