The United States has only some 400 millions- of its 985 million acres of arable land under cultivatibn, yet it raises, among other things, one-sixth of the world’s corn supply. The farms of America ‘raise less that balf as much wheat to the acre as those of England, yet .even with her present standard size could raise enough corn to meet the needs of Europe on the land that is now lying unused. Russia produces only ten bushels to the acre of corn, but when science has access to her untold millions of acres, and brings their capacity up to the standard of our own farms, then she alone will be able to supply the world's cereal needs) with the excep- tion of maize and rice. Less than a third of the world's pop- | ulation gets what we should call three | good meals a day, yet the working ca- pabilities of the, from our viewpoint, | underfed continents of Asia and Af- | rica will compare very_well with either | Europe or America.

There are many popular, as distin- guished from religious, superstitions in Japan. These okiginally sprang from mostly moral precepts .and are quite harmless. They prevail more widely among people in the rural and mountain districts than among city dwellers and among the older and ig- norant classes thun among the young and educated groups. Some ol these superstitfons are: At a marriage ceremony a dress of | purple color, is taboo, lest the Tutual love of the: bride and groom' be isoon to fade. i If while a.person is very ill a cup of medicine bé upset by accident, it is a sure sign of his recovery; he needs medicine no longer. Fire isthe spirit of the god Kojlin, It is supposed to have a purifying ef- fect and must be pespected. To step on fire, to throw refuse in it, will cause the wrath of the god and hence .a calamity. «The bore is not unknown in Japan, and the Japanese are pes- tered with visitors who sit their wel- come out-and drive their hosts into a frenzy of eagerness to get rid of them, The Japanese recipe of getting rid of them is as follows: Go to the kitchen, turn the broom upside down, put a towel over it and fan it lustily. | The tedious visitors will soon depart. Japanese babies und children are not allowed to look into miirors, for If they do, when they grow up and marry they will have twins. When measles, chickenpox or whoop- Ing cough prevails in a neighborhood and parents do not wish to have their "children become infected they put a notice on the front door stating that their children are absent. HILL RICH IN HIGH-GR—ADE ORE Mound in Mexico That Is Said by Ex- perts to Be Worth in Neighbor- hood of $5,000,000,000. ° Primitive peoples have an uncanny instinct for naming things accurate- ly. Centuries after the natives had named a hill outside the city of Dur- ango, Mexico, “The Devil's Finger Tip,” scientists came along and sol- of hematite, and had appa Jabbed up through the earth from molten masses far below. This iron hill rises for 700 fect sheer above the surrounding plain, and is said to contain 600,000,000 tons of high-grade ore rated at 70 per cent in iron content. In a report made Just before the World war a British expert said that the iron in the hill Is worth $5.000,000,000, or would he tly been surface | i so located ‘s td assure protection in the operation of the \property. Put in another Mercado moun- tain, for the hill is so named after the Spanish explorer who was the first white man to see it, contains iron which, if marketed today, would bring more money than the entire sum represented by all of the gold and silver taken out of Mexico between 1603 and 1803, when the exploitation of Mexican mines was at its peak., True Trachoma Easily Transmitted.
