This meant much to the cigar-making
| industry. The Sumatra leaf Is large,
very thin and elastic and of a beauti-
| full. satlny texture. A pound OF 1t
will cover thousand cigars. Although
IL costs from 10 to 20 times as much
as the domestic wrapper, 1t Is largely
used by the trade So the growing of
this crop under cloth has become the
principal industry Of large section
Of the Connecticut valley.
Another important discovery Is that
| of the steam sterilization of tobacco
beds. OF old the grower sometimes
had great difficulty in growing plants
| for transplanting into the field. They
would become diseased in the bed with
resulting large losses. Weeds also
caused much trouble to the young
plants. Now the enterprislng tobacco
grower eliminates both Of these diff
culties by going over the bed with :.
steam sterilizer, which kills the weed
seeds and destroys the disease organ
isms which would attack the young
plants. As result, the production of
good, healthy, young plants is now
relatively easy.
II diseases attacked the tobacco
plant only during the early stages Of
its growth In the bed the tobacco
grower would have an easy time in
deed, but there are many other dis
eases which ravage the plants in the
fields. One of the most destructive of
these Is the one known as mosaic,
which puzzled plant pathologists for
long time. They have now found our
that It is specific infection, that
certain definite germ causes the trou-
BILE. In addition to this, they learned
that insects are a factor in carrying
1t from plant to plant.
In the South the growers have suf.
fered great deal through losses pro-
duced by wilt which has been named
the Granville tobacco wilt. The De
partment of Agriculture worked out
rotation system which has greatly re-
duced the losses. No cure has yet
been found for the disease, but the
farmer now knows how to keep out
or ltS pain.
In regions of thin, light soil, tobacco
farmers have long talked about a sup
posed disease which they called sand
drown" The trouble was not too much
sand, according to recent discovery,
but the lack of magnesia, fertilizing
element which is not generally recog-
nized by farmers as being useful to
plants. Usually enough of this ele-
ment occurs In the soil to take care
Of the demands Of any crop. All rhe
farmers have to do Is to change the
plants rations slightly.
Some great advances have been
made in the field Of plant breeding.
One particularly interesting variety Of
tobacco has been developed. 1t Is now

AIphonso of Spain to Be Repri-
manded by Rivera for His
Affairs at DeauviIle.

Paris.-Europe is looking for Spain
to get rid of It's king at any moment,
or If not that, it is almost certain
that King Alphonso will get good
spanking before long-figuratiyely
speaking. King Alphonso is treadng
the path once familiar TO King Man
uel, Of Portugal, who showered good
coin Of the realm on stage beauties,
so much of Ii In fact that his subjects
rebelled and Manuel woke up one
morning to find himself without a
throne to sit on and a crown to put
on his head.
That's the way King Alphonso, the
Spanish monarch, is going, only he has
gone Manuel about five or six better.
Instead of having only one stage
beauty, Alphonso has about five or
six at time.
Queen With Babes.
Meantime his wife, Queen Victoria,
and the six children stay in the royal
palace in Madrid wondering when the
errant king Is coming home.
All Europe is talking about the
royal scandal, the way in which Al
phcnsO is behaving himself. The
comic papers Of France ridicule and
roast him. 1t is in France that Al
phonso spends most of his time, at
the fashionable seashore resort, Deau-
vile. The reason he spends so much
of his time there Is because all the
noted stage beauties, chorus girls, and
lot of women, whose responsibility
Is not matter of overmuch concern
to them, congregate at Deauville.
Squanders His Money.
There's hardly & good king In the
whole European lot any more, but
Alphonso is absolutely the worst one
they still keep over here. Instead of
attending to affairs Of state he squan-
ders his coin in gambling parties and
drinking bouts at Deauville; he plays
tennis with the chorus girls, or rather
plays at it; he referees prize fights
he judges beauty contests, and in a
word, behaves himself just exactly
| like a king ought not to behave.
The taxpayers of Spain are begin.
ming to growl about it. When their
monarch gives diamond brooch to
one of his favorite stage beauties
the taxpayers of his country foot the
bill. Besides they are getting pretty
much ashamed of Alphonso.

EskirnOs Have
Strange Laws

j. Smell, the Arctic explorer who is
spending two weeks here, addressing
Detroit school children.
"rhe Eskimo had many strange
laws before the white man came" Mr..
Smell said. "They were communists.
If you killed bearded seal, walrus or
polar bear, the meat did not all belong
to you. You were obliged, as soon as
the killing was accomplished, 10 stand
UP and wave your hands willie you
shouted as loud as you could.
XIII Man With Whale Gun.
"All those who answered your call
were entitled to supply Of the meat
and 1t very often happened that the
successful hunter got less than some
Of the others. If you neglected to do
this and hid the meat away you were
likely to be overtaken with some ca
lamity. You might suddenly become
blind, 1t was thought, or your children
might die.
THE Eskimos killed the first white
man who had my job; shot him with
whale gun. Three young men did
1t. One man set the gun In place, an
other marked spot on the door, then
knocked, and the third pulled the trig-
ger. Since the whale gun is as large
as a small cannon, hy predecessor
was instantly killed.
Relative Must XIII.
"The Eskimos themselves captured
two OF the young men and executed
them. When the United States reve-
nue. cutter arrived she sent shell or
two over on the beach to let the Es-
kimos know what could be done then
told them to go and get the other
young man.
when he was found, 1t was learned.
he too was condemned to die. And
just here comes one of the Eskimo's
strange customs. IL a man must die
he must be killed by one of his near
est relatives. A young man by the
name of Teragloona was appointed
'executioner. Teragloona was cousin
Of the condemned man and one of hjs
best friends,
'He asked his cousin whether be
would prefer to be shot or stabbed.
The cousin said shot, so aiming at his
temple, Teragloona fired. Talk about
an iron nerve; surely Teragloona had
1t. / afterward came TO know him
very well, he was one Of the finest
Eskimos In my village"
