RECORD IN EFFICIENCY

Comparison of statistics, (which
have Just become available, as to
freight traffic from March l., 1920,
when federal control ended, to Janu-
airy last shows that the railroads Of
the country not only broke all rec
onds in the amount of freight handl-
ed, compared with the corresponding
months IN previous years, but also
operated with greater efficiency than
ever before sss. sss
The total net ton miles for the
ten months period was 381 ,482, 253,
900. This was an increase Of 12k
per cent over the total tor the corr
responding period in 4 919 $500 OF
one per cent over the same months

up to the past year; and 6.23 per

INSECTS MAKE. LEAVES WALK
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
in Australia.

There are some strange leaves in
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. d Whenever
there came gust Of wind these queer
leaves blew Off in a perfect shower.
AS leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
ground. Then theyo-would.- seem to
crawl toward the trunk of the tree
from which they fell. Since that time
1t has been found that these leaves,
as they were thought to be, were real
insects and lived upon those very
trees. Their bodies are thin and flat
and their wings veined, just like q
leaf. If they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded away under their
bodies, leave their whole shape ex-
actly like the leaf of tree, with stem
and all. Bright green in the summer,
these singular little insects, chame.
leon-like, slowly change their color to
10 dingy brown, just like a leaf that
has been frosted. 1t Is strange that,
with wings, they do not fly, but rath'
p walk or crawl along the ground,

Persian Bread Has Many Uses.

At Kasvin, Persia, q British patrol
base, we were lodged in empty wards
of the. military hospital, writes Mary
e. Griscom in Asia Magazine. Our
provisions had almost given out by
this time, and We were reduced to
Persian stone bread. So, far as l
know, only the coconut and the bam-
boo serve more purposes than the
flaps Of Persian bread, which are
about two feet long one foot wide
and a quarter Of an inch thick. II 1t
is raining, the Persians use them on
their heads as umbrellas; and If it is
sunny, as parasols; in winter, they
wrap the flaps around their shoulders.
If they do not need them for protec-
ton they roll them up and carry
them under their arms. In the hos
pitfalls they spread them out on empty
beds to dry.
