WORLD IS FAR FROM FAMINE
Only one-Thir Of Its Potential Food
Producing Area at Present Un-
der Cultivation.

Only one-third of the worlds poten-
tivation, and the crops raised on that
third, thanks to agricultural science,
Increase yearly.
The United States has only some 400
millions of it's 935 million acres Of
arabic land under cultivation, yet II
raises, among other things, one-sixth
of the worlds corn supply. The farms
OF America raise less that half as
much wheat to the acre as those of
England yet even with her present
standard size could raise enough corn
to meet the needs of Europe on the
land that Is now lying unused.
Russia produces only ten bushels to
the acre of corn, but when science
has access to her untold millions of
acres, and brings their capacity up to
the standard of our own farms, then
she alone will be able to supply the
| worlds cereal needs, with the eXcep-
tion of maize and rice
Less than a third of the worlds pop
ulation gets what we should call three
| good meals a day, yet the working ca
| pabilities of the, from our viewpoint,
| underfed continents of Asia and At
rlca will compare very well with either
| Europe or America. The average
meat consumption of the world is 80
| pounds a head yet both the Australian
! and the American eat nearer $50
| pounds per head, and the Englishman
is not far behind with about 12O
pounds.
1t is evident, then, that we can tight
en- our belts a hole or two yet with
out running any undue risk of starva-

Wonderful Theatrical Setting.

A variegated Richard III, was Of
fered in Berlin to an audience that
gasped little at first but proved ap-
preciative when the first surprise was
over. For Richard was clothed SYM
bOlically in black when he was brood
ing, in blOodred when he ascended to
the throne, and this actual ascent was
presented literally by a flight Of steep
bloodred stairs that lead to the COW
eted seat. The scene was so drenched
with the dreadful color that when
later on, in the dream, the phantom
warriors were luridly clad, too, the ap.
pearance of Richmond's forces in pure
white completed the symbol No at
tention was paid to court customs and
costumes; all else paled besides the
enhanced effect of Richards demOni-
acal appearance.

Determining Poisonous Vapors.

In its efforts to determine the ex-
tent to which the vapOrs Of fires are
actively poisonous the United States
bureau of mines has sought vacuumN
bottle samples of air from different
places in burning buildings in 25 cit
les. Certain indications have been re-
ported from the contents of such bot
ties as have been returned. Most
dreaded at fires is carbon monoXide,
but only one sample of air from above
ground showed this gas, the quantity
in that case being too small to harm
when breathed a short time. The air
and smoke in cellars, however, con-
tain considerably more. The ventila-
tion giving good combustion apparent
ly disposes of any carbon monoXide
produced, but there may be some ac-
emulation in close places where ven
tilation is poor. Air charged with
dense smoke was quite free from poi
sonous gas, the effect of such air be-
ing mechanical irritation from breath
ing the smoke; and the most poison
Gus air found was a sample contain
ing little smoke that was taken from
poorly ventilated space among cases
in basement.

"CRUCIFIx FISH" ODD CURIO
vealed on Dried Skeleton of West
Indian Product.

Joseph Reichenbach of so Henry
street, has curiosity In the way Of
fish which throughout the West In
dian country Is known as the "crucif1x
fish," and is regarded with a mixture
Of reverential awe by the natives who
throw specimens caught In their nets
back into the sea and cross them
selves when they come on the skull Of
one.
The dried skeleton Of this fish shows
plainly on the under side of the skull
the figure Of a man on a cruciflx with
a halo about his head. On the other
side Of the skull Is figure Of a mon-
with a cowl bending before an altar.
Mr.. Reichenbach prizes the specl-
men very highly. He keeps 1t in a
little wooden box like a coffin. For
merly he was barber in the Hotel OF
st. George, and one day John L. Sui
livan, the famous pugilist, happened
in and Joe showed him a specimen Of
the odd fish. Sullivan was deeply I'M
pressed, and expressed wish to have
one like It, so Joe made him a gift
of duplicate Of the fish.
There are other peculiarities about
this fish skeleton which Joe has. When
1t is lifted up and shifted there is a
rafting in the skull like dice rolling.
Those are what are known as the "air
ones"-Brooklyn Eagle.

East LamOine.

The ladies of the sewing circle
have been hustling this winter, and
are now being we'll repaid for their
work. Two quilts have been sold
by tickets recently, and there are
three more to be sold. The first
one was drawn by Mrs. Luella
Davis, who generously returned it
to the circle to be resold. The
second was drawn by Mrs. Ardell
Hodgkins of Bar Harbor. The OBJ
ject of the sale is to extend the
cemetery fence around the lots that
have been purchased outside the
original yard, and also around lots
that are still for sale. Those from
out of town owning lots have
responded generously in purchasing
tickets on the quilts which is very
encouraging to the few who are
left here to work. There is now
about $100 in the treasury, and
when the quilts are all disposed of,
there will be about $50 more. The
circle will be discontinued during
the summer, but wants the money
ready to commence work on the
fence in the early fall. The East
Lamoine Cemetery society, which is
q ull CI CuC VI SiulAdIlol, was pic
sented recently with generous
checks from Messrs, Howard,
Charles and Carl DeLaittre of Min

improvements.
