HAS SEEN LIFE'S BITTERNESS
Granddaughter Of the Mighty Nape-
leon ! Worthy of Remembrance
by the French People.

Paris observed the centenary of Ma
poleon Bonapartes death with eiabo-
rate ceremonies a few weeks ago.
Amid ell the pomp in honor of the one
time arbiter of Europe another figure
stood out In contrast-that of woman
Of fifty. dressed in black, with fine,
open face, lined by sorrow and the in
cessant effort to exc out livelihood,
a teacher In an ordinary elementary
school near the Boulevard st. Michel.
This poor teacher, now living in tiny
apartment with her cat and few mea-
ger possessions, is the granddaughter
of Napoleon l. Her father was the ille-
gitimate son of Napoleon and Eleonore
de la Plaigne, a maid of honor to Caro-
line Murat. Napoleon gave the boy the
title of Count Leon. Born In 1906,
"Count Leon" died in 1881, after an ex-
citing and feverish life into which he
crowded excessive gambling, many
duels and love affairs and some mys-
teal meditations. The counts only
daughter, Charlotte Leon, was born
when her father was sixty years old.
She began life as teacher in Algeria
to support her widowed mother, to
whom the count had left but small
means Of subsistence. After hard years
of struggle on pittance she finally
went to Paris, where she married a
M. Mesnard, taking the name of Nine.
Mesnard-I con. Her husband is now
dead and she lives alone, barely re-
moved from want meditating on the
strange destiny of her grandfather, the
great emperor, of her fathers wild and
stormy life-and of her only son, who
died for France at Rheims during the
war.

WISCONSIN WILL NOT POOL


Significant and important were the
conferences held in Madison on Au-
gust 18th and 10Th. report of which
appears in this issue of Hoa-d's
Dairyman. The representative organ
izations, gathered together on these
OCCASIONS, decided wisely and well to
hold firm to the Wisconsin plan of
marketing on commodity basis
through the federation of local CO.
operative units. This marks q soli-
dairy of forces that should insure a
sane and truly progressive develop
ment of the marketing methods of
Wisconsin dairymen.
While the incident that necessitat-
ed the calling of these conferences is
regrettable, yet it has focused atten-
ton on the marketing plan for Wis
consin, the plan evolved at state
wide meeting, called last February by
Governor Blaine and endorsed by the
Wisconsin Division of Markets. the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, and
every farm and dairy organization of
the state, including the Wisconsin
Society of Equity. The sudden and
secret abandonment of this plan by
the Equity is due to unwise leadership
and this society will now have some
difficulty in extricating itself from a
bad position.
The moving purpose or motive OF
these officers is given in paragraph
IA of the contract, which provides
that every signer must become
member of the Equity and pay dues
in that organization. 1t indicates
that the real purpose of the Equity
plan is to secure Equity members and
Equity dues, not to advance and I'M
prove the position of the dairy farm
er. 1t is singular that these men do
not understand that to succeed they
must look to the benefit of the indus
Try first, and to their success as an
asso ciation second. To reverse these,
as was done in this case, leads to UNI
wise and poorly considered action.
Even with the handicap of an ul-
terror purpose such as disclosed
above, a good plan may sometimes
succeed. The pooling plan proposed,
however, is not a good plan. 1t is not
sound economically, it has never DEM
onstrated itself a success over Sc
ries of years and it is appealing only
because it is a radical departure and
promises the impossible.
The Dairymen's League of New
York may have, and doubtless does
have, the best system for meeting its
particular problem. Blu it has been
in operation relatively short period

ALCOHOL FROM THE JUNGLE?
May Yet Be Economically Manufac-
tured From Moist Vegetation of
Tropical Forests.

We clutch at anything as substi-
tute for gasoline. Professor Whitford
of the Yale school of forestry says
that alcohol could be economically
manufactured from the moist vegeta-
ton of tropical forests and jungles.
"The evidence is conclusive" said Pro-
fessor Whitford, "that the tropical
sun has the power to store up more
energy in the form of cellulose in
given time than has the temperate sun.
If this is in utiliZable form it re-
mains for the ingenuity of man to
overcome the difficulties of profitably
applying it. With the increasing needs
of the nation it is reasonable to ex-
pect that sooner or later it will be
necessary to utilize more fully the
plant resources of the tropics"
Professor Whitford said that the an
nual production of alcohol from the
nipa plant in the Philippines was now
nearly 100000 gallons and that one
distillery there had produced 93 per
cent alcohol at a cost of about 20
cents gallon, and if operated to full
capacity could make it at cost Of
Is cents a gallOn.-Scientific Ameri-

Reversing Speech.

A curious photographic instrument
was invented by Poulsen, capable of re-
versing the sounds of word or SEN
tence. A steel piano wire, carried on
two spools, passes between the poles
of small electromagnetic so connected
with telephone transmitter that spo-
ken words are magnetically recorded
on the moving wire and reproduced in
a receiving instrument. When the mo-
ton of the wire is direct, the words are
heard as in ordinary conversation, but
If the motion is reversed, the sounds
come to the ear in reverse order. like
words spelled backward. To represent
the order in which the reversed sounds
strike the ear, however, not only must
the order of the letters composing a
word be reversed but each letter must
itself be reversed from right to left, as
when reflected in a mirror.-Christian
Science Monitor.

Remarkable Calculation.

Charles L. Dodgson, professor of
higher mathematics at Christ Church,
Oxford, known to most people as
Lewis Carroll" and the author OF
"Alice in Wonderland" is responsible
for the following peculiar calculation:
Write down the number of your
brothers that are living. Multiply this
by two. Add three. Multiply the re-
suit by five. To this add the number
of your living sisters. Multiply the
result by ten.
Add to this result the number OF
your dead brothers and sisters. From
the total substract 80.
The right hand figure gives the
number of deaths, the middle figure
gives the number of living sisters, and
the ieft-hand figure gives the number
of living brothers.

and it would be surprising if certain
defects will not be found in actual
trial. Given good management we
have high hopes for it. but it is con-
cerned primarily in the marketing Of
whole milk in a territory close to a
consuming population of many mil
lions. Wisconsin's problem is differ
ent, as nearly all her nine billion
pounds of milk is manufactured into
various dairy products and shipped
outside the state. The pooling plan
is not adapted to her conditions at
the present time. Even were it sound
economically, it is impossible of ac-
complishment where the industry is
varied and interests conflict. No
statement is made by the promoters
as to how many farmers must sign
the contract before it becomes oper-
alive, and it would appear that the
should have at least so per cent of
the milk if they are to hope to make
it useful to the signers. 1t is sur
prising that no attention was given to
this, but practical problems do not
seem to have been considered. In
this connection it is well to recall
that there are 1896 farmers in
Wisconsin owning dairy cows, and it
will be exceedingly difficult to sign
up any considerable percentage OF
these men.
Wisconsin dairy farmers. we be-
lieve, have confidence in the associa-
tions and men who stand behind the
organization of their industry on a
commodity basis. They are getting
back of the Wisconsin Cheese Pro-
ducers' Federation, are preparing for
butter producers de.ation, and
later will evolve satisfactory milk
producers association for condensery
districts as well as for city milk sup
plies. Wisconsin will retain its local
cooperative associations, and on
these as its foundation will build a
truly efficient and satisfactory mar
keting organization
