KAMERUN AND TOGOLAND

Kamerun and Togoland are part of
African territory lost to Germany through
the Great War.
German East Africa comprising approx
imately $4,000 square miles; German
Southwest Africa $4,000 miles and Nam
erun (the "Cameroons") and Togoland
adding respectively 191,130 and $1,000
square miles, make the loss of German
colonies aggregate 931,03O square miles.
The total colonial possessions of Germany
in Africa before the war were estimated
at 1,03s,0S6 square miles, whereas the
area of Germany itself, comprising twenty
states, had an area of only 20S,7S9 square
miles.
German Togoland surrendered to the
Allies as early as August, 1914. Kamerun
surrendered in February, 1916. Kamerun
extends from the Blight of Biafra north
eastward to Lake Tchad and eastward
and southwark to French territory in
Equatorial Africa and the Belgian Congo.
Most of the territory is now under French
control as result of the mandate given
France by the Supreme Council of the
Allies. The rest is under the control of
the Government of Nigeria, British
colony and Protectorate.
Much of Kamerun rises above 1900 feet,
and in the northern portion the Adamawa
plateau rises to an average elevation of
5000 feet. Near the coast is Kamerun
Peak, raising from a volcanic rift to an
altitude of 1880 feet. 1t is link in a
volcanic chain which extends into the
Blight of Biafra in Fernando Po, Princes
Island, and St. Thome (all Portuguese is
lands famous for cacao).
The coast line is short in proportion to
the area of the colony, and heavy swell
known locally as the "Kalema" breaks up
on it all the year round, and makes its
approach difficult. There is a good har-
Dor, however, in Kamerun Bay, on which

A two-year course in practical garden
ing has been inaugurated by the New
York Botanical Garden, in Bronx Park,
in order to meet the growing demand for
trained gardeners and to help provide
careers for convalescent soldiers and sail
ors. Indoor lectures as well as laboratory
work and practical gardening will be in
cluded in the course. The garden has an
extensive horticultural library, we'll
equipped laboratories, etc.
Numbers of people who live in poor
health do so writes medical correspon-
dent) by keeping personal poison fac
tory on their bodily premises. They do>
not know it, perhaps, but it is there all
the same. This poison factory is usually
situated in the nose, the teeth, the tonsils,
or the digestive canal. The dental supply
is kept up by neglected, carious teeth and
stumps, badly-cared for plate, or (worst
of ally pyorrhoea. Septic tonsils are an
other common cause of "toxoemia," as it
is called. And there are those who by
persistent neglect of natural functions turn
their bodies into so many ambulant cess
pools.
Naturally enough, we do not think of
orchids in connection with things edible.
They appeal not to the gastronomic, but to
the esthetic side of the human being, and
are priced chiefly for their beauty. But
of the $4,000 different species belonging to
something over 400 genera, there is one
genus that has practical value, and this is
the genus vanilla. Of this genus there are
but few species and of these the most
important is vanilla planiforia, from
which the vanilla bean of commerce is de-
rived. The genus is native in the warmer
parts of Mexico and portions of Central
America, but has been introduced and is
extensively cultivated in certain of the
West Indies, and in the islands of the
East Indian Archipelago.

Hoover specified ''the president the

Of the cabinet as responsible for
failure to buy the Cuban crop at 6hs
cents per pound.
Hoover declared the predominatfng
causes of the high cost Of living were
shortage in commodities due to under
production of Europe and the drain
upon American exports imitation,
especially in expansion Of credit
facilities for use in speculation;
profiteering and speculation; mal-ad-
