Only an advance in culture could enable him to control his environment and secure a steady sur plus of births over deaths. The cause of man's peopling of the world was not & mere wish to do so, but the necessity arising from growing numbers and cor- respondingly decreasing supply of food, It was this which eventually led to ag- riculture, This spreading over the globe was conditioned by three great laws— movement in the direction of least re sistance ; movement in the direction of the greatest prospects; movement due to a force from behind, or compulsion. Scientific American, DISEASE AFFECTS ALL TREES White Pine Blister Rust an Enemy te Be Combated by the Entire Civilized World. Glant white pines In Switzerland that in 118 years have fought their way to a height of 180 feet and more are being killed by white pine blister rust, and no effort is being made te control the spread of the disease, ac cording to Dr. Perley Spaulding of the United States Department of Agricul ture, who recently returned from an eight months’ study of rust conditions In Europe. Doctor Spaulding, whe made the trip to determine the ex- tent of damage done to old trees and to seek any new points In the life his tory of the disease, says that the white pine blister rust has been known in Switzerland since 1854, but that it has on only within the last ten years that it has spread to such Rf state of destructiveness. The ur gent necessity of co-operating In the attempt to control the spread of the disease in the United States, he says, will be better realized and facilitated by lumbermen throughout this coun- try when it can be pointed out to them that the disease affects old trees as easlly as young seedlings.

The other day May arranged her entire family In a row In the big rocker, There were assembled three rag dolin, an unbreakable doll with a broken nose, a drunken elephant and an armless teddy bear. She placed herself before them rigidly and wagged her finger up and down. “Don’ touch the baby’s bottle. Don’ you dare” she sald In exaggerated mimicry of me. “Did you hear mam- ma?" she exclaimed sharply. She seized the elephant, spanked him smartly and placed him back with a decided thump. “Dere, now young lady,” she sald to him severely. Then, after a moment's silence, “Well, don't ery. Mamma kiss you, but you mus’ mind your mamma.” Whereupon she took up the dis graced elephant, kissed the injured spot warmly and mothered him ten. derly, I feit humiliated, but was glad te see she made It up with the disrepu- table oid thing.—Farm Life, Honor System In Prisons One of Itallan Premier Mussolini's first actions on coming to power has been the adoption for state prisons of the “honor system” In vogue in Ore. gon and other western American states and which was once tried out at Sing Sing. i Mussolinl is greatly impressed by the success of the system as practiced In America and has ordered that, among other things, solitary confine ment be abolished In Italian peniten. tinries, and ali prisoners be given a chance to work on farms or in fae tories at stated wages, These wages will be divided Into three parts, one of which goes to the state, to form a fund for the better ment of prison conditions, a second part to the party which suffered under the crime for which the prisoner was convicted, and the third part held In trust by the authorities until the day of the prisoner's discharge, Italy is the first European country to adopt the honor system, Useful Radio Improvement, A French trans-Atlantic steamship company was the first to experiment with the radiogonometer, Invented by Bellinl and Tosi.

That 1s what bappened to the Topo- lobampo, with its 80 or 100 Mexicans unaccounted for on land or sea.
