"Great American Desert" Still Exists

the blazing sunlight, give one either
a sense of vast freedom or of oppres-
sion, depending upon his mood and
temperament.
And, although the sun blazes. the
air Is bracing. The nights are posi-
lively cold. Nowhere in the world,
says the survey, do the stars seem so
bright as in the heavens above the
desert Occasionally the desert trav-
eler comes upon palm-tree oases which
look as though they had been trans
planted from Egypt or Arabia.
The survey issues the warning that
the tenderfoot easterner must not
think that because this desert is a
part of the United States, 1t has all
the safety and all the modern con-
veniences of an American city. Quite
the contrary. The American desert
can hold as many terrors as the wild
est sweeps of the Sahara.
One of the special destinations about
the Salton sea basin is the fact that
much of it lies below the level of the
sea. Originally, the Salton sea basin
was a part of the Gulf of Lower Cal
ifornia and was not a desert but
great body of water.
A curious fact about much desert
land is that while 1t appears to be de-
void of all possibility as producer of
vegetation, all that desert soii needs
is water to make it highly productive.
The famous Imperial valley in Cali
fornia Is ample proof of thia.

Many New Currencies Appear in Europe

currency unit equivalent to the franc,
for which the name zloty is used.
Austria, having already stabilized its
paper currency, has announced the in
PRODUCTION of a new silver shilling"
coinage. The representative coin is
to be the equivalent of 10000 kronen,
or about one-seventh of dollar, and
others in the series will be multiples
or fractions of this standard coin.
Germany's latest effort to reorganize
its currency consists in the issue of
rentenmarks, a Temporary currency
limited to period of two years. While
the nominal value of a rentenmark is
one gold mark ($0.23S), the new Issue
Us not convertible into gold.
The Free City of Bremen has adopt
ed an emergency currency in the form
of notes which bear on their face their
value III dollars and also the equiva-
lent in gold marks.
Another emergency currency Is that
of the city of Hamburg, which has
established n bank to issue notes on
the basis OF gold credits at the banks
disposal outside of Germany.

equal to 10 gold rubles or S5.15.

den's most profitable crop should not
continue to bear in perpetuity.
During the war Chief Forester Gree
ley was lieutenant colonel of that ex-
pansible unit known as the forestry
section in France, when he directed
the operations of some light and port
able sawmillS.
But we had to fell trees in the gov
ernment and city owned forests in obe-
dience to the rules of the French for
esters," said he. 1--WE Americans were
only in France for the day-just to
win the war. The French proposed to
go on, living there and so they pre-
served their forests as carefully as
though war had never been heard Of
We We're allowed to cut a tive-years
growth of trees, where in peace time
we could cut only one years growth.
Well, there's a reason. A French
forest ranks with a bank as gilt
edged investment. One year with an
other they pay from to 6 per cent
and will go on paying that dividend
forever because they are cared for.

Three Important Inventions Promised

"The Research corporation is taking
revenue from inventions that have
been successfully commercialized to
help other inventors to get hearing
from the Industries that can utilize
their inventions. This work of discov-
ering. helping and conserving Amerl-
can inventive genius is without paral-
lei. II is an experiment in social eco
nomics and business which promises
results of far-reaching importance.
Men come to the Research corpora
ton with lnnumerable so-called pat
ents. Hundreds must be discouraged,
because they only redlscover old de-
vices. others contemplate new uses
for old inventions. But every now and
then some startling. unexpected inven-
tion Is discovered.
I'm single year we have uncovered
a marvellous calculating machine that
can compute algebraically; printing
machine that dispenses with type, cleo
trotypes and halftones, and Instead of
printing from a design which carries
the ink, prints more rapidly and bet
ter from a pattern which never comes
in contact with the ink.
1--WE are on the threshold of an era
of changes in the great field of metal
lurgy Steel has ruled king of indus
try. Its position is being threatened by
those who have been pioneering in the
fields of the alloys. The inventor who
can produce new metal with the
strength of steel, noncorrosive, lighter
in weight, already is on the horizon.
