WAR TIME SECRETARY
 IS ALSO NATURALIST

BERWICK-ONTWEED. Eng, Nov 2&.
 Viscount Grey of Fallodon. formerly Sir Edward Grey. war time secretary of the Foreign Office, who was tenn porary British ambassador in the Unit ed States in 1919. and who has just recently re-cntered the political arena. is naturalist as well as statesman. In an address before the Berwickshrc Naturalist Association he gave an ac- count of his personal observation of the wild fowl which he has reared at Fallodon for the last &7 years.
 He said that the Carolina of North American wood ducks were monoga- nous and domestic life was highly de- yeloped among them
 Lord Grey was unable to confirm the statement that wild geese paired for life and that, on the death of one. the survivor took no other mate, but he called to mind remarkable case of the kind with a pair of red crested pro chard ducks.
 The drake kept with his mate until she had to be killed after meeting with an injury. It was expected that he would then mate with another fa- male of the same kind but he ignored her and after two or three weeks rest lcssucss he flew off and was not seen again.
 Ut was as if he had gone off on an endless search to find the mate he had lost remarked Lord Grey.

PROSPERITY COMING
 BACK TO ITALIANS

ROME. Nov. 2&.- Although the cost of living is still going up in Rome and milk. meat, fish. butter and bread all cost more than they did during the summer, figures lately published by the Commune of Rome show that the prosperity of the people is steadily in creasing, and that the Romans eat and drink better and amusc themselves more in 1921 than they did in 1920.
 During these two years the popula- ton of Rome has increased at the same rate as it did before the war, some LOGO new inhabitants having ar rived in the course of one year.

WILL MEAN MUCH TO ARIZONA
New Mexican Harbor. Soon to Be De-
veloped of Vital Interest Also to
Southwestern States.

The new Mexican harbor at Rocky
Point, on st. Georges bay, which, dis
patches state. Is to be developed very
soon, will open to passenger traffic
and commercial development a rich
portion of the southwestern United
States, as well as a part of the North
American continent on the Gulf of
California that is little known and
explored, according to a bulletin of
the National Geographic society from
its Washington headquarters.
The Bay Of st. George marks the
northern limit Of deep water in the
Gulf Of California, and when its new
harbor is connected by a short spur
of track with the railroad already in
existence, there will be an all-water
outlet through the Panama canal to
eastern United States for the mines of
Arizona. Once, just after the Civil
war, the people Of the Arizona mines
had all their supplies brought them
from California by water the ships
steaming down the California coast
up the Gulf and the Colorado river
to Yuma, and now it seems that the
old method Of handling their products
will come into vogue again.

HAD GREAT FEAST OF SALMON
Citizens of Bremerton, Washington, In
Luck Through Error Made by
Fish Coming to Spawn.

A seething mass of silvery salmon
was impounded in the big dry dock
at Bremerton, Wash. when the revenue
cutter Bear was admitted for repair.
When the pumps had started to
lower the water the salmon leaped up
the steep sides of the drydock in des-
perate attempts to escape into deep
water.
Navy yard employees, sailors and
marines did not wait for the water to
be entirely pumped out, but waded into
the mass Of silver sides, picking the
best salmon.
They are the fall or silver salmon,
which make their appearance in Puget
sound in late fall 1t is believed the
fish in seeking the mouth of spawn
ing stream, mistook the yawning open
ing of the dry dock for one.
More than a thousand salmon were
secured from the 1,100-foot dock, and
there was an unmistakable odor Of fry
ing fish in the Navy Yard town for an
entire day.
A few months ago fox-shark or
thrasher was imprisoned in this dock
and gave employees some exercise

fairly leaping out of the lowering
water in an effort to fasten his fangs

Chile May Soon Export Coal.

The coal mines in Chile have re-
Gently witnessed great development,
and at present are producing about
100000 tons per annum. The old
mines produced rather inferior prod
uct, but the new developments are
turning out very acceptable coal, and
there is plenty of room for extending
operations in that country. Virtually
all Of the coal mined in the country
is being used by the manufacturing
interests there, but there is no doubt
that if the development continues at
the present rate there will be enough
produced not only to care for the
home market, but to allow enough
for expectation.

Waterfowl Peculiar.

The ways of the waterfowl are as
strange as the ways of men. Not very
long ago matronly wild duck held
up all traffic on Beacon street, in Bos-
ton, while she conveyed a large brood
under the noses of the painting motors
to a summer home in the Fenway.
And now we have Lord Grey telling
a Berwick audience of wood
duck who built in a hollow elm 300
yards from the water. When the
eggs were Matched, she flew down
from the hole into the grass, and be-
gan to call. Thereupon the ducklings
scrambled two feet up the inside of
the tree to the mouth of the hole. and
then fell from there to the ground, a
matter Of some 81 feet And yet it
is said that only cat has nine lives.

kNAT0LIA A LAND OF PLENTY
Food in the Greatest Abundance, but
WoefuI Scarcity of Water, Is
the Situation There. (

Americans who find life expensive
would secure unbounded relief if they
could go to Anatolia, in Asia Minor.
In the area through which the Greek
army passed in its advance on Angora,
lambs sell for 60 cents each, chickens
for u cents. whole cows for 50 and
eggs for half cent Everywhere food
is found in great abundance and at
prices such as America never heard Of
even before the war.
The fertile fields of Anatolia rival
those of the most productive American
state. Wheat is the principal COM
modify of the thrifty Turkish and Kurd
farmers. They raise sufficient guam
titles to feed q continent. When King
Constantine's army made it's advance
into the heart of the Kemalist country
it found hundreds of thousands of tons
of wheat and grain.
The Greeks also found incalculabla
numbers of cattle and sheep. Cows,
oxen and water buffalo swarm the
plains of Asia Minor while the famous

so numerous that they sell for about
the price of a pound of mutton In any
American city.
1t is this great cOrnucopia that has
made 1t possible for Mustapha KemaPs
army to subSist so long without out
side assistance. 1t is also this great
abundance that has kept the Greek
forces going. Their onward march to
Angora would not have been possible
upon the meager food supplies they
have been able to transport from
Smyrna and Greece.
The only thing scarce in Anatolia,
particularly in the southern part, IL
water. The territory over which the
Greek troops marched is made up
largely of desert land and barren hills,
with water only at distant intervals.
For days the weary soldiers had to
march under the burning Asia sun
without a drop of water

One Of the new applications Of
small motors Is the tying of bundles.
1t takes an expert to tie a bundle
properly by hand 1t seemed to be
one of the hand operations that would
not soon be usurped by a machine,
yet here is a parcel tier driven by a
half horsepower motor that automati-
cally ties and releases each bundle
or box placed on its table. Moreover,
the machine may be depended upon
to tie square knot and after the
tying is completed the parcel is thrown
oft to make room for the next.

Ban on Fairies.

Fairy tales are no longer allowed
to be told to children in Russia. The
minister of education for Bolshevists
has issued an order that fairies Or
princely heroes are not to be men,
toned, and do harm, and are there
fore forbidden.
Instead of fairies, children must BE-
told of scientists and leaders who
have served humanity"
Aladdin must not be misrepresented
as a good-hearted prince who used
his magic lamp for the good Of all
the people around him; he must b
shown in his true colors," for ha
was a prince, and therefore IAN op-
pressor and a despot."

POWER FROM VOLCANIC HEAT
Italian Industry Has Probably the
Cheapest Motive Force in the
Universe Today.

In central Tuscany is a large cleo
trio pOwerhouse that obtains its initial
driving power from volcanic heat. In
the neighbOrhood are many cracks in
the ground, from which powerful jets
OF very hot steam spout high into the
air. Early experiments in using the
steam for driving engines failed COM
mercially, for the borax salts, sui
phurated hydrogen and sulphuric acid
In the steam, on account of the cOrro-
sive dctiOn. made necessary frequent
repairs. The difficulty has been over
come by applying the steam. not di-
rectly, but to u boiler in place of fuel.
SO applied it produces steam in the
boiler at pressure of two at
mospheres, which is then passed
through a superheater and on to the
steam turbine used for driving cleo
trio generators.
Prince GinOri-COnti, who financed
the undertaking, has made three large
installations on that system. One of
3,0O0-kilOwatt units has been at work
since January, 1916; the second since
April of that year, and the third start
ed not long ago. SO far these groups
have worked very we'll and have been
a great boon to the industries of Tus-
cany, which have been under a great
disadvantage owing to the scarcity
and high price Of coal Since the
volcanic region extends for many
square miles around Darderello there
is nothing to prevent the installa-
tons from being increased until they
produce thousands of horsepower.
