In several places on the north coast
of Siberia the natives eat wood, not
because they must, but because they
like It, says the Lancet (London).
Wood is generally eaten even when
fish is plentiful, their favorite dish be-
ing prepared by scraping off thin lay-
ers immediately under the bark of
larch logs, chopping them fine and boil-
ing them up with snow.
It generally turns out that dietetic
habits which at first sight seem curi-
ous have a rational basis. The vir-
tues of cod-liver oil no longer rest on
empirical experience and a vague idea
that its efficacy was proportional to its
nastiness; the reputation of fresh vege-
tables was gained in the days before
the Dutch taught gs to grow turnips,
and hardy cabbages, and when some-
thing like scurvy was an annual expe-
rience of the early spring.
It is interesting to guess the rea-
son for wood eating. The cellulose
which forms so large a part of a
herbivorous diet Is now recognized as
being a subsidiary source of energy
through the fatty acids produced In
the stomach and bowels by cellulose-
splitting bacteria. But the modified
forms of cellulose which form the mass
of tree trunks are hardly attacked by
the bacteria of the alimentary canaL
It Is possible that the Siberians have
by practice and habit so altered their
Intestinal flora that they can deal
with lignin with advantage, but this
seems a troublesome way of getting
energy when fish and milk are avail-
able, and It appears hardly likely that
the explanation of wood-eating lies
along these lines.
But If the habit suggests at the mo-
ment no rationale, It is curious to note
that it falls In line with the tastes of
some other animals. The fondness of
rabbits for bark and the Immediate
subjacent tissues Is well known. It is,
perhaps, worth noting, too, that these
same Invaluable experimental animals
are peculiarly fond of hard, woody
leaves—as, for example, holly, gorse
or hawthome, and sometimes seem act-
ually to prefer them to cabbage or
milk thistle. Ponies also are apt to
be possessed of a devil or some curi-
ous appetite, and will set to work on
big forest trees and kill them by clean-
ing off the bark and conducting tissues
down to the hard wood. These and
other examples of similar tastes sug-
gest that there Is something particu-
larly good in the outer layers of trees,
and it is natural $o think that it prob-
ably resides in the young conducting
tissues rather than in the outer bark.
Of its precise nature it is idle to
speculate

Orchestras in the Steerage.
"Times have changed,” said Antonio,
as he twirled his partner to the rhythm
of mnsic. "When I come over five
years ago I no can wait till ship land.
Now—music twice each day—this good
ship!”
Anyone with a discerning eye would
see thet times have changed in the
third class section, remarks the New
York Sun. Instead of the old listless,
half-frightened attitude of those who
knock at our gates, there is gayety
and spontaneous fun in the steerage
now. Improvements in accommoda-
tion and deck sports on the big liners
account to some extent for the change.
But the greatest of these changes is
music. This innovation is a potent
factor for friendship, common inter-
est and happiness.
Youngsters from villages in Czecho-
slovakia, dark-eyed bamblnos from
Cieily; chattering, bright, quick little
citizens of France—all of them listen
to the music with a kinship of spirit.
And when the orchestra turns from
‘‘pieces” and the decks are enlivened
by dance music, their elders show
their appreciation and enjoyment.
The Indians called the Island Natls-
cotte—the country of wailing, and un-
der the modern corruption of Anticos-
ti it has added to its terrible renown.
Its whole history, from the day it was
discovered by Jacques Cartier in 1534,
to the present, is a record of human
suffering.
In August, 1S69, the family of Ed-
ward Pope, keeper of the Ellis Bay
lighthouse, was stricken down by ty-
phoid fever, and to add to his misfor-
tunes the revolving apparatus of his
light broke. The government steamer
had gone, and Pope had no means of
communicating with the marine de-
partment at Quebec or elsewhere.
The light revolved or flashed, as the
technical phrase is, every minute and
a half; and if It flashed no more it
would probably be mistaken by pass-
ing vessels in that region of fog for
the stationary light at the west point
of the island, and thus lead to dire
loss of life. Pope found that with a
little exertion he could turn it and
make it flash, and at once determined
to fill the place of the automatic gear.
Accordingly, this humble hero sat in
the turret, with his watch by his aide,
turning the light regularly at the al-
lotted time every night, frdffi 7 p. rh.,
until 7 a. m., from the middle of Au-
gust until the first of December and
from the first of April until the end of
June when the government steamer
came to his relief with a new appar-
atus.
All through the first season, Pope’s
daughter and grandchildren were ill
unto death, with nobody save him to
nurse them. He waited on them ten-
derly through the day, but as night fell
on the iron-bound coast he hastened
to his vigil in the turret, doing his
duty to the Canadian government and
to humanity with unflinching devo-
tion.
In the second season his daughter,
who had lived through the fever, took
turns with him in the light room.
This man may have saved a thousand
lives. He died in 1872, and his deed
well deserves to be chronicled, for of
the heroes of Anticosti, as of the long
.roll of her victims, the world knows
nothing.—Montreal Family Herald.

Fasting to Cure Fits.
Epilepsy may be cured by fasting.
Dr. Hugh Conklin told the 26th annual
convention of the American Osteo-
pathic association. Epilepsy, accord-
ing to Dr. Conklin, Is caused by the
Improper functioning of certain glands
In the bowels. By fasting for 22 days,
taking only water, a cure may be ef-
fected, he said.
"Many people,” said Dr. Conklin,
“fast 30 days and are never afflicted
by fits again. The longest fast which
any patient ever took under my direc-
tion lasted 60 days. Out of 37 tests in
which children were used as patients
only two still are affected by the dis-
ease. The children all were under the
age of eleven years, hut we effect
cures In older patients in from 50 to
GO per cent of the cases we under-
take.”
"Caution."
The psychology of New York state’s
highway warning signs Is interesting.
Instead of saying “danger,” “sharp
curve ahead,” “bridge,” etc., these
signs simply read “Caution.” This
isn't a very exciting warning, either
on paper or on the signpost, but it ex
cites the curiosity. The driver
doesn’t know whether he Is coming to
a washout or a steam roller. And be
Where the Sparrow Justified Himself.
News dispatches inform us that the
English sparrow "Invaded Alaska this
spring for the first time.” Arriving in
America about 1850, it “has been grad-
ually working westward ever since,”
driving out most other small birds as
it goes. It has already spread over
nearly the whole of Europe, and in
spite of everything seems likely to
make a place for itself all the way
• round the world.
Because of its fecundity. Its inabil-
ity to live peaceably with other birds,
and the depredations it has been ac-
cused of making on brick chimneys
and buildings, some people—even bird
lovers-—have greatly deplored its
coming to this country.
But it can be a useful bird, as it
proved to South Carolina farmers in
1917, writes a correspondent of Penn-
sylvania Grit In the spring of that
year the army worms started an inva-
sion of our fields, devouring everything
as they went. The farmers were in
despair, when they saw how bare the
worms were leaving the earth. Then
the English sparrows swarming In the
fields in greater and greater numbers
daily, began to devour the worms with
a voracity truly gratifying. The num-
ber of worms which one sparrow would
devour in a day was incredible, a farm-
er told me. And the poisonous mix-
ture, with which the worms were
finally exterminated, before they had
injured the crops Irreparably, had no
111 effects on the sparrows. They ate
worms so long as there were any, dead
or alive, to be found.

which he made for the purpose of

He found two entirely new species
tlonal reason or any other apparent
reason why trains consisting of 10 or
15 such cars should not be built, where
the traffic calls for the use of larger
units.
There are four principal advantages
which have been proved In the experi-
ence of the company, with these trains.
1, reduced first cost; 2, reduced weight;
8, reduced running cost; 4, Improved
riding of cars. The last is due to the
fact that there Is no overhang of the
bodies beyond the trucks, and that the
adjacent ends of the bodies are car-
ried on a common truck center.
