NEW ZEALAND

"A newspaper item stating that
New Zealand lemons have recently
reached the Canadian market will
probably III some readers to get
out their aliases to try to prove that
an editor has nodded" says d bull
letin from the Washington, D. c.,
headquarters of the National Geo.
graphic Society.
This British dominion nearest to
the South Pole is spoken of so often
as the Antipodes of Great Britain
that the opinion is common that its
climate is the same in every respect.
There are many similarities, it is
true, but in general it is the warmer
half of England that is most nearly
like the cooler half of New Zealand.
The distance separating the north
ernmost mainland point of Great
Britain from the North Pole is 500
miles less than the distance between
New Zealand's southernmost point
and the South Pole; the North Cape,
New Zealand, is a full 600 miles
closer to the equator than the sun
bathed Riviera of southern France
and Italy.
Citrus Fruits Grown in "TOe'
"It is to Italy, in fact, that New
Zealand may perhaps best be COM
pared yer though the n is a pen
insula and the other an island group.
BY a strange freak of geographical
conformation, the two large islands
that practically make UP New Zea-
land form, when taken together, al
most as perfect a boot as the fam
Gus Boot of Italy, 1t is perhaps
more properly the unbooted leg and
foot of a man that the shape of New
Zealand approaches. The range of
north latitude covered by Italy al
most exactly correspond to the de-
grees of south latitude owe I'd by
New Zealand; and just as the Gala
brian toe of Italy reaches louth-
ward into the Mediterranean, 30 the
instep' and toe of the Auckland
Peninsula of New Zealand extend
| ~equatorward into the warmer waters
of the Pacific.
"With it's comparison to Italy in
! mind, it is easy enough to under
/ stand how the warmest parts of New
| Zealand a produce citrus fruits.
Until quite recently fruit culture had
been confined to the common or
chard fruits of the temperate zones
and had naturally been developed
south of the Warmest regions of
North Island. Even as late as 1916
New Zealand was dependent on i'm
| ports to furnish the lemons which
the islanders consumed. The lemon
industry has gained rapidly since
that time and latest reports show
that one New Zealand firm alone has
handled 1900 cases of domestic
| lemon his year..
although New Zealand can de-
l,velop in it's warmer regions a citrus
! fruit industry of considerable i'm
p~ortance, it is as a dairy and sheep
| country that it is best known and
probably will continue to be known.
In "a recent year its wool exports
were valued at more than $4,000
900. and it's exported mutton and
lamb at more than $30 $1,000, 600,
while the butter and cheese and milk
shipped out of the country were
worth upwards of s50,000,000."

O.. How long have quarantine
methods been used to check the
spread of disease?-G. L. II.
A. The L-ombardians were the
first people to use effectual quar-
antine methods against plague ana
infectious diseases, and mention OF a
quarantine is made in Lombardy ana
Milan as early as 1874. Prior TO
hat time Christian com munities re-
signed themselves to the visitation Oh
the plague, regarding it as a divine
punishment.
O. Are sailors in the Navy who
die at sea, merely thrown over
board?-O. o.
A. When a man of the Navy dies
at sea, his body is brought ashore
and buried in the regular way, un-
less the vessel is not to make port
for several days. When the body
may not be held until a port is made,
it is buried at sea with military hon
ors and a formal ceremony.
@. Can an airplane fly upside
down for a distance of five miles?
E. NJ.
A. The Air Service of the Army
says that no plane has ever been
known to fly upside down for a dis
lance of five miles, or even for one
mile. A plane can fly in that posi-
ton for a short time only.
@. What metal will burn when it
touches water?-V. D. b.
A. When potassium is placed on
water, it displaces hydrogen at SO
high a temperature that the gas
catches fire, burning with a lilac
flame.
@. What is the highest position
ever held by a negro in the United
States Il. j. w.
A. Probably that of United States
Senator. A negro. Hiram X. Revellr
was Senator from Mississippi shortly
after the end of the Civil War.
@. Are our five cent pieces made
of pure nickel?-T. C. e.

federal service would in time be
seriously impaired.
Misrepresentation as to age, for
instance, affect the retirement act
because If the employe retireS two
years ahead of his actual age ne has
perpetrated a fraud upon the gov
eminent. In addition to this, false
hoods as to age and experience af-
feet the qualifications of the appli-
can't or employe because the govern
ment has found, after long expert
ence, that certain ages. are best
adapted to particular classes of
work. If the applicant c~ircumvents
this rule by misstatement he Injuries
the service. Again, by securing a
position through such methods, he is
depriYing a worthy competent per-
son of the job because there are al
ways more applicants than there are
positions to be filled.
The penalties in these various
named offenses run all the way from
debarment for a period of one year
to a fine or d demotion or removal
or conviction and imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
From 1911 TO 1928 there have
been 5000 cases of debarment by the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion, and the problem involved in
perjury by applicants is one the
commission has ver before it. In
relation to the entire number who
have taken examinations every year
the number of those who falsitied
may seem insignificant. In proper
ton to the number of applicants
who have been accepted as qualified
i. is serious.
Commissioners William c. Dem
ing, George r. Wales, and Helen II.
Gardener are anxious to see these
cases of perjury diminished in num-
Der. They believe that only as the
public is better informed regarding
the Civil Service will trucking Uncle
Sam be recognized as not merely
dangerous, but futile.
