Fear Plague
Toxic and Yokohama are huge
pyres in which corpses of 100000
victims are being cremated with
wholesale funeral services, in an
effort to avoid plague following
the earthquake, tidal wave and fire
which devastated q great part or
Japan.
The bodies which had been heap
ed i'll the streets, are thrown into
the burning ruins while hundreds of
priests conduct the rites.
Warships are cruising along the
eastern shore or the island of
Hondo, surveying the destruction
and loss of life in hundred of costal
towns and villages which were
overwhelmed by the tidal wave.
The extent of the horror in many
interior villages can only be im&g

there has vet been received. How
ever, the total casualties may equal
those of the larger cities. Half a
million people at the lowest estim-
ates are homeless.
Refugees Need Rice
Thousands of tons of rice are
urgently needed for Toxic s ref

the eonflagration was sweeping tow

Martial Law In TOXIC

Despite the efforts of police and
troops, who were called out to aid
the firemen, the flames advanced
steadily upon the government build
ings which were destroyed. Docu-
ments Of inestimable value were
lost.
Martial law has been proclaimed
in Toxic. The city is without food
and thousands Of the refugees are
threatened with starvation. The
water famine is also causing much
suffering. Hundreds of the victims
are without clothing.
Reports from other cities on the
island of Hondo, principal one Of
the japanese archipelago indicate
that the quake centered in the
town Of Naagoya, which was laid
in ruins. In addition to the terrific

Bamboo i'm Texas,

IT is said that in southern Texas
cultivation of bamboo has met with
considerable success. The plants
seem to be as we'll adapted to the
soil and climate of that region as
in their native lands. Some of these
oamboos are OF quite an age and have
heights in excess of sixty feet.
While no attempt appears as yet
10 nave been made to convert the
Jointsd stalks to commercial use, it
is said that consideration is being
given to the question of manufactur-
ing furniture of the bamboo. 1t is
known that bamboos are particu-
larly serviceable for windbreaks and
the substance will probably be extern
sively used for this purpose in the
lower gulf coast region of that state.
One of the serious problems con-
fronting the farmer and gardener of
that section is to provide some cheap
and effective method Of protecting
the growing crops from the terrific
winds that sweep inland from the
ocean during nearly the entire year.
1t has been demonstrated that the
bamboos are well fitted to serve as
barriers against the winds and that
hedge of bamboo planted on the
windward side of a field insures pro-
lection to the growing crops for
many years. The plants require no
attention and often attain a height
of from twenty to thirty feet the first
year. They lend a picturesque tropi-
cal beauty to the farms and gardens.

Flour From Sugar Beets.

A n important additional use for the
sugar beet is found in the manu-
facture of flour therefrom. Indeed, it
is reported that this kind of -four is
turned out in considerable quantities
at Suresnes, in France. where an en-
terprising person has built a large
dryer" for the purpose
The first part of the process con-
sists in chopping up the beets and
drying the water from them They
contain, to start with. about 70 per
cent of water, nearly all of which is
removed by evaporation. BY this
means 100 pounds of dry material are
obtained from S57 pounds of beets.
The dry material contains more
than 20 per cent of sugar-that is to
say. there will be more than 20
pounds of sugar in every 100 pounds
of the evaporated product. Accord
ingly, the latter, on being ground
to fine meal is exceedingly sweet and
well adapted for the making of cakes
and puddings. 1t is estimated to con-
tain something like SO per cent of
pure nutriment.
The expectation is that this sort of
-four will eventually come into extern
sive use, particularly in the manu-
facture of cakes and sweet bread 1t
is said to be not only very nutritious,
but guaranteed to be germ free by
reason of the high temperature to
which the raw material is exposed
in the process of evaporation.

rear and alternately on each side, it
seemed as IL we were to receive an
attack simultaneously on front, rear
and fianks.
A worse position to defend 1t would
be almost impossible to conceive;
spearmen could approach unperceived,
and launch their spears from the
cover of the grass into our packed
men; while clubmen could get right
on top of us, before we could see to
shoot with any degree of certainty
of hitting what we were shooting at;
and once amongst US, shooting would
be out of the question for fear of
killing our own carriers. In the
event of our advancing toward a bet
ter position, we should be forced to
straggle in long line of single file.
which would expose our carriers to
flank attack: and in the case of a
Doriri rush we should be in imminent
danger of our line being cut in two.

WITHDRAWING Machine.

TN the manufacture of certain kinds
of wire, especially fine aluminium
wire, a machine is used which is sur
prisingly similar to the spinning ap-
paratus in a modern cotton mill. In
fact, it is a mechanical twister, by
which the wire is separated from
what might be called the supply coil
into strands of the requisite thick
ness and wound upon spools. The
supply coil passes over a pulley above
the spindles and through what might
be called a drawing frame. From this
1t is carried to the spools of certain
size. From these it passes through
second drawing frame, which de-
creases its diameter, again winding
1t on spools, the third drawing frame
turning it into the size required for
commercial purposes.
While some of the machines will
draw out enough wire TO fill twenty
spools at once, so complete and so
simple is the mechanism ,aat but one
person is needed to attend each ma
chine.

with the cooking fires still burning
in them.
lI TPoN the following day we marched
~ for this spot, and found the
shelter, as described by the police.
situated at the junction of the Buna
and Wakioki rivers. Here, by the
size of the shelter and the number
of footprints. we came to the conclu-
sion that it had contained about
thirty ,Doriri, who were probably at
tached to a much larger party. Care
full scouting and full examination of
the direction of the Doriri footprints.
which we now found to be very nu-
merous, all showed that they led up
the wakioki toward their own
country.
We were now of the opinion that
possibly the Doriri had discovered
our presence and were retreating
upon their own villages: in any case,
they were moving in that direction.
Pursuit, and that by forced marches,
was now the order of the day. With
far-fiung scouts, endeavoring to To-
cate the Doriri ahead, we began the
chase, straining the endurance of the
carriers to the last ounce. The rear
guard of six constabulary and four
village constables mercilessly drove
on the skulking Maisina, or helped
the truly failing Kali Kali with the
load.
Early in the afternoon we reached
a point near the gorge from which
the Wakioki emerged; and there the
track scrambled up loose boulder
strewn bank about thirty feet high,
up which we likewise clawed Here
we found many Doriri shelters that
had only just been vacated and still
had the fires burning in them.
We pitched camp here, right under
the magnificent Mount MacGregor
and shortly afterward a violent
thunderstorm rolled down upon us

fork lightning being succeeded by in
Simultaneous claps of thunder, the
whole being followed by a torrential

and the grinding roar of the enor-

Next day we struck camp at dawn

police had found the footprints Late
in the afternoon, after marching over
rough. well watered country, we
came to a stream running into much
larger one. and upon the banks of
which we discovered freshly erected
lean-to bush shelter, such as are used
by travelling natives, and a large
number of newly cut green boughs,
which had been used for making

keep so many men absent in Collinr-
wood Bay for so long a period.
Some small gardens near were re-
morselessly stripped to furnish our
carriers with their evening meal. and
every village pig and dog was
slaughtered; many spears and arms
were also found and burnt, the Mails

carriers plundered and destroyed gar
dens to their hearts content and Bar
toms grief. The Doriri, however, had
apparently had stomachful of the
awesome. magic f1re-spear, and had
departed from their villages for the
hills.
Now evidently had come the time
for departure; the Doriri had learned
that there was a power stronger than
themselves, and a power too, that
could make itself unpleasantly evil
dent. The most essential thing to do
was to convey message to them,
telling them to abstain from rafding.

they did not wish again to incur the
anger of that power. This we were
shortly able to do.

be the result of furthyf raiding: time
alone would show whether the war
