Many of these stories could not be traced by the authorities and were attributed to heated imaginations. A correspon. dent of Lloyd's Weekly, however, has discovered a very bad case of Hun testifies to this method of mutilation by brand- ing or tattooing, being no exaggera- tion. ¥ Following up the clew given to him, this correspondent found the man he was after. His name is Roughton and he lives In a miserable slum near Waterloo, hating to go out in day- light. On his forehead was a dis- figurement, says this English writer, "that seems almost unbelievable in these days of so-called civilization: Brand Covers Entire Forehead "The man's head is covered with skort stubby gray hair, and his ni- turaily fine forehead gives plenty of room for a sinister sign that stretches from temple to temple and from the arch of each eyebrow to the edge of the scalp. It is a heavily tattooed design of a huge crablike creature which he afterward told me is called 'The Spider of Death' or the scorpion. "In some horrible frenzy of imag- ination this creature, which had been pricked with red, white and green inks upon his forehead, has been given three bodies. One lies over the other and each outline is clearly visible. It shows first the shield of Bulgaria, above that the military drum of Ger- many, and superimposed upon these, the fez, the star and the crescent of Turkey. On either side stretch eight human booted legs, while from the middle, or head of this horror, hangs a ring showing that the man branded thus is the property of the Turks for eternity. Famous as "Strong Man" «Yes, that is what I have to show for my share in the great war,' said the branded man. 'I have seen a lot in my life. I was born fifty-seven years ago in Chicago and I guess there are a good many men there yet who remember the name of Roughton, famous for feats of strength and phy- gical endurance right through from Maine to California. « «My life has been one of adventure. 1 have been a "strong man" and an acrobat in circusses. I have circled the world with a herd of Eskimo dogs--1 guess there ain't 'much in the wild 'adventure line that I'haven't done. I have been mixed up in Bri- tish wars for the last twenty years-- in: the Soudan, the Boer war and now this greatest war of all time. "Way back in 1918 I think there must have been some sort of idea go- ing round the military heads of na- tions that sooner or later there was to be a big bust up. Just about that time--April 27, 1918 to be exact -- General Sherman, knowing my rec- maple ord, gave me a letter to Mr. Tumulty, President Wilson's secretary at the White House, recommending me as an interpreter. Enlisted Early in the War "Here, you can see the letter," and, with a bent and scarred forefinger, Roughton underlined the words of a letter from the General, saying: "Mr. A. Roughton. possesses unus- ual 'qualification as an interpreter. He gives me to understand that he speaks twelve languages with facility." «Well, anyhow--that was in 1913, | and then came '14 and with it war.

I was put to work pulling a plough-- oxen were scarce in those days; it was in December, 1917--and I dragged this plough across the land, and when I didn't cover enough ground, or furrows that I made were crooked, I was beaten with a leather cat-o'-nine- tails that had nails at the end of each thong. "Then the great potentate for whom I worked seemed to realize that he was wasting good material in rough, unskilled labor, and after many weary punishments he placed me (with this badge of shame upon my brow and the price of 5,000 marks upon my head should I try to escape) as the guar- dian of his harem. : "Among the many women slaves in this place there was a young Arabian who had been stolen and sold to the man who was our master. She was unhappy to the verge of madness, and the horrors through which she went on"many decastons nearly drove me out of my mind.

By methods that are too lone to tell you, this Arabian and myself plotted and planned tosether and succeeded in escaping.

The actual circumstances are declared to have been as follows: "The commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet recommended in 1914 the formation of a depth charge de- fense, and experiments and investi- gations were made. The Vernon Ex- perimetal School took the matter in hand and the submarine attack com- mittee of the Admiralty ultimately recommended the adoption of a design which was virtually the same as that used throughout the war, There were improyements from time Yo time, but the British navy adopted and devel- oped the depth charge method of de- fense two years ago. "The British navy also led the way in the use and development of the weapon and in the fitting out of spec- ial vessels for its 'extensive employ- ment. The invention of the 'thrower' and other devices in connection with the use of mines was purely British." ene fre. DISEASE GERMS ISOLATED British Army Doctors Trace Causes of Typhoid and Influenza The virus of trench fever and that of influenza and of some forms of ne- phritis have been isolated and iden- tified, according to a report submit- ted to the director general of the army medical service in France by a number of army medical officers, who have been investigating the causes of these diseases. The report, which is pre- liminary to one promised soon, is signed by_ Major General Sir John Rose Bradford, consulting physician with 'British expeditionary forces in France; Captain Dashford and Cap- tain Wilson, and is printed in the British Medical Journal. According to this official statement, the virus in each case has been proved to He a minute globular cell, varying in size and behaviour in the three types of disease.

Conservative Estimates' Made For Forests of British Columbia. To maintain the forest capital intact the annual cut must not exceed the annual growth. In British Columbia it is very much less than the amount which could be cut without endanger- ing the productive capacity of the forest. British Columbia includes so large an area and contains so many different site classes that it is difficult to make anything more than a rough estimate of its growth. Moreover, the probable loss from fires must be con- sidéred. Again, where natural regen- eration is depended upon for refores- tation, all degrees of restocking occur; fully-restocked areas are the exception rather than the rule. Also, a certain percentage of the are forested with merchantable stand contgins mature and overmature timber where the de- cay approximately offsets the incre- ment. Selected areas on the coast that were fully restocked have been found to produce an annual increment of 1,000 board feet per acré in forty years growth. Obviously, this figure is much too high for a general average, even for the coast where the rate is ex- ceedingly high as compared with the interior. Taking the foregoing fac- tors into consideration, it has been assumed that the average annual in- crement might be estimated at 100 board feet per acre, over approximate- ly 50,000,000 acres of comparatively accessible timberland, under reason- ably effective protection from fire. This assumption will give 5,000,000,000 board feet as the total average an- nual increment for British Columbia, and consequently, this amount could be cut annually without endangering the present forest capital. This is ap- proximately five tities the actual cut. The results of the investigations un- dertaken by the Commission of Con- servation show that there is 96,680,000 acres capable of producing merchant- able timber, but a large part of this area is commercially inaccessible at the present time. With the develop- ment of transportation lines, large areas, especially in the interior, will become more accessible, On the whole, therefore, the estimate of 5,000,- 000,000 feet iy considered conservative. ata ramm HUN MINE SANK "HAMPSHIRE." Admiral Jellicoe's Book Reveals Bri tish Unpreparedness in 1914. A book written by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, the former commander of the British Grand Fleet, and just publish- od, gives the cause of the sinking of the British cruiser Hampshire, on which Lord Kitchener lost his life. Admiral Jellicoe explains that the | Hampshire struck a German moored mine, which had been laid by sub- marine. : * The book contains revelations of British unpreparedness at the begin- ning of the war." The Grand Fleet had to run out of harbor several times because suhmarines were reported in- side. Admiral Jellicoe says he avoided night action with his big ships off Jut- land because. the British searchlights and fire controls were defective. He recommends a greater superiority of all classes of véssels than in 1914. ln "Anyone--a fool or an idiot--can be exclusive. It comes easy.

One method is to treat seed, before tension electricity, In 1910 a trial was made of the method near Burnham- on-Crouch, In Essex. Spring wheat is usually sown in March or April. On this. occasion, the wheat, of which the the seed had been treated by this special process, was not sown until July 19th. It was up in five days, and on September 16th was in ear. It was rea was/sown, whereas the ordinary time for wheat to mature in England is eighteen weeks. Ln Another method of forcing crops is to run a current of electricity through overhead wires. In this way the yield of oats and beans has been near- ly doubled. Experiments tried last year in Lincluden Mains Farm, in Dumfriesshire, were particularly suc- cessful. A third method is to use artificial light, either electric or, bet- ter still, acetylene. Plants are thus made to grow by night as well by day. Cabbages and lettuce are easily forced in this way, but other plants, such as carrots, seem to resent it. Flowers bloom earlier under arti- cial light, and are more brilliant.
