SUGAR LONG GROWN IN JAVA
Production Has Been Pushed Rapidly
and There Is Room for Fur
ther Development.
The cultivation of sugar cane Is an
sld industry in Java. The production
tias increased rapidly and the end is
not yet. Between 1850 and 1860 Java
produced less than 100,000 tons a year.
Sugar tonnage increased rapidly and
steadily, until iu 1004 the ipillion-ton
output was reached, and it Is thought
that the two-mllllon-ton mark will he
passed within two or three years. A
writer in the Americas, Issued by the
National City hank of New York, says
that while the. cultivation of sugar is
a very old industry In Java, It has
passed through many vicissitudes. Fif
ty years ago, he says, the sugar was
raised almost entirely by native farm
ers, who paid a part of their crop to
the government as rent. The rise of
licet sugar growing in Europe made it
necessary In order to compete to In
troduce a more efficient system. To
day the cultivation is done by the
manufacturers themselves. They lease
the land from the natives, who In
many cases are the owners, or from
the native communities. Many small
properties arc1 thus united under the
management of a manufacturer dur
ing the period of one planting—thnt Is,
about three years. After each planting
the land is turned hack to the native
proprietors for growing rice or corn
nut 11 Its fertility for sugar production
Is restored.

By BURTON E. STEVENSON
CHAPTER XXXII.—(Continued.;
Fronting on 1 lie Zurielistrasse,
some half mile from the arsenal at
Strasbourg, stands a great tobacco
manufactory, covering two blocks
and employing 1.000 people. These1
men and women and children 1-ive
for the most part in 1 ho crooked
little streets of the neighborhood,
for the hours of work are long,
and to walk hack and forth from
a distance not to he thought of.
When a family has managed to
scrape together a little capital,!
more often than not the head of il
opens a liny shop, while I lie young
er members keep on working at:
the factory until the business has
established itself. Then the film
ily lakes a step upward in social]
grade.
In a. little room hack of such a '
shop in the llerinenslrasse, on the I
morning of a day late in October,
three men sat down to breakfast.
It was a silent meal, for each of the
three was preoccupied. They were
roughly dressed in the blouses and i
coarse trousers of laborers, and
their faces were covered with a
week’s stubble of beard. One was
white haired, old and seemingly
very feeble; but the other two
were in the prime of life. At last
the meal was finished, and the
two younger men pushed back
their (“hairs and looked at each
other; then they looked at their
companion, who, with vacant eyes,
was staring at the opposite wall so
intently that the other two invol
untarily glanced around at it.
“It is time for you to go, lieu
tenant," said one of the men, in a
low’ voice. “Tell me again what
you have to do, so that 1 may he
sure there is no mistake.”
“What I have to do is this,
general,” said the other: “from
here, 1 go to the house we know
of, taking a circuitous route1, loit
ering on the way. and making cer
tain that I am not followed. If I
find myself followed, I will pass
this shop, dropping my handker
chief in front of it and then turn
ing back 1o pick it up. If I am not
followed, 1 enter the other lion
mount to the roof and make sure
that everything is in order. At
10 minutes to 12, I hoist into place
the two arms to which our wires
are secured, stretching them tight
by means of the winch which we
have provided, and then I at once
start tire clockwork. I then de
scend, make my way to the tram
station, and take a third class t ick
et to ('olnmr, where 1 will await'
you at Valentin’s cabaret. If you
do not arrive by sundown, i am
go on to Paris to make my report."
“That is rigid. You have your I
passport 1 ’ ’
“Yes.”
Jam me see year wuTeli.
They compared watches and
found that they both showed 20
minutes past 10.
“Adieu, 1 hen, said the elder
man; “and let there be no fail
ure.”
“Trust me, general,” and the
lieutenant saluted and went out
through the shop.
“And now, Mr. Vard,” said
Marbeau, in a low tone, “the hour
has come.”
The old man nodded, and to
gether they left the room. Mar
beau stopped to secure the door,
then followed Vard up to the first
landing, where there was another
heavy door, which the Frenchman
also bolted ; so with the next land
ing and the next. He smiled grim
ly as he thought of M. Delcasse’s
warning to leave open a road of
escape. He had, indeed, provided
such a road, but he carried it in
his pocket.
At last they stood in a tiny room
under the ridge of the roof. It
was lighted by a single dormer,
and, looking out through this, one
could see over the house tops, half
a mile away, the grim wall of the
arsenal. Before the dormer stood
a table, to which was bolted a
; metal framework, supporting the
j box, with its sides of glass half
| covered with tin foil. It was
i mounted on a pivot, and from it
two heavy wires ran to a key such
as telegraphers use, and then
down to a series of powerful hat
| teries standing on the floor.
“Von are sure it is all right?”
asked Marbeau. almost in a whis
per.
For answer. Vard closed a
switch, opened the key and then
depressed it. slowly. There was a
crackle of electricity, and a low
humming like that of a giant top.
“No, no!” gasped Marbeau, and
snatched the switch open.
34
The inventor smiled.
“There is no danger,” he said,
“until the other current is turned
on.”
Marbeau'k face was livid and
headed with perspiration. lie
wiped it with a shaking hand.
“Nevertheless you startled me,”
he said. “The sound the machine
makes has a frightful menace in
it!” Then he looked at his watch.
“It is now 11.”
Vard nodded, and bent again
above his apparatus, touching it
here and there with the touch of a
lover -tightening a wire, examin
ing a contact, testing the vibra
tor * * *
11 is usual pale face was flaming
with excitement, and his eyes
shone with a strange fire.
Marbeau glanced at him uneas
ily, then stared out at the grey
wall of the arsenal. 1’pon its sum
mit a sentry walked to and fro
with the precision of a machine.
High above him flapped the im
perial flag of Germany, display
ing its eagles and complacent mot
to. Marbeau, like every French
man, considered that flag an in
sult, for the lower arm of its cross
bore the date “1870,” and he
stared out at it now, dreaming of
the future, dreaming of the day
when France should tear it down
* * #
Vard touched him on the arm.
“I should like to see the plan of
the fort again,” he said.
Marbeau opened his shirt, and
from a little oilskin bag produced
a square of tracing paper. lie un
folded it and handed it to the in
ventor.
“This is the side toward us,” he
said. “There are the magazines,
the main one being here in the
center.”
With a nod of understanding,
Vard carried the drawing to the
window and compared it carefully
with the stretch of wall, swinging
his pivoted machine from side to
side to be sure that, its range was
ample. Then he refolded the map
and returned it to Marbeau.
“It must be almost the hour,”
!m said.
With a start, Marbeau pulled
out his watch. It showed 15 min
utes to 12. Then, watch in hand,
lie stood gazing out at the bastion.
Four minutes passed, five, six,
seven * * * 1
Suddenly from the fort came the
deep boom of an alarm gun. A
minute later, a file of men ap
peared upon the sumit of the bas
1 ion ; a gate, away to the right,
swung open and an armed bat
talion marched out at the double
quick.
“ llu; signal! gasped Marbeau.
“It is the signal! Their wirelss
tin'll have picked it up!”
Again the alarm gun boomed
sullenly, and they could hear the
faint, shrill calling of a bugle.
Then came the distant thunder of
the answering guns from the forts
about the town; from the streets
rose excited voices, the clatter of
running feet * * *
One minute—two—three—
“Now!” said Marbeau, snapped
shut his watch and thrust it into
his pocket.
Vard, his face twitching, closed
the switch and touched the key.
Again came the sharp crackle of
flame, the deep hum of the vibra
tor. Marbeau, the marrow frozen
in liis bones but with the sweat
pouring from his face, stared out
—and then, close beside him, came
a white burst of flame—the horri
ble odor of burning flesh—
He jerked around to see Vard
| fallen forward above the table,
while about his hands played those
lived tongues of fire * # *
Half an hour before midnight of
that day, a man. roughly dressed,
with a stubble of beard masking
his face, appeared at the ministry
j of marine, was passed at once by
the guard at the entrance and
1 made his way quickly to the office
| of M. Deleasse, lie tapped at the
! door, which was instantly opened
j by the minister himself.
“Ah. Marbeau,” he said, quiet
ly. “Come in. We have failed,
i then?”
“Yes, we have failed,” groaned
j Marbeau, and sank into a chair.
Deleasse touched him gently 01
I the shoulder.
“Do not take it so much tc
I heart,” he said. “There is some
! thing wrong, perhaps. He can tr\
again—”
“No, we cannot try again,” ant
Marbeau's face was piteous.
“Vard is not captured!”
“No; he is dead.”
“But his instrument—his inven
iion?’’
"is destroyed, fused, burnt to a
mere mass of metal,” and Mar
beau told the story of that last mo
ment.
“But what happened? What oc
curred?” asked the minister
dazedly.
“f do not know—I was staring
at, the fort. He may have had a
seizure and fallen across 11 is in
strument, or he may have broken
the circuit in some way -displaced
a wire, perhaps—and received the
full shriek himsctf. it was over in
■an instant. He was dead when I
dragged him away.”
For some time Deleasse walked
thoughtfully up and down.
“You could not, by any possi
bility, reconstruct it?” he asked
I at last.
“1 fear not, sir; he told me
nothing. I do not even know the
principle involved.”
Again Deleasse paced back and
1 forth; then he sat down before his
| desk, with a gesture of aqui
I escenee.
“So that dream is ended,” lid
! said. “ it was too great, no doubt,
- to be accomplished. God willed
otherwise. But at least we are rich
er than we were. From time to time
we will terrify these Germans with
a little blast of wireless. That will
be amusing, and it may cost them
| some ammunition. And in the
struggle over Morocco France
| wins! That is assured! Good
night, general. Yon need rest.”
All the world knows now, ol
course, that France did win. On
November 4, the question of her
supremacy in Morocco was settled
once for all by the treaty signed at
Berlin. When Europe learned the
terms of that treaty, it was shaken
with amazement. For Germany
i had receded, after swearing that
she would never recede; had guar
anteed to France a free hand in
Morocco, with the right to estab
lish a protectorate if she thought
proper;—and in exchange for all
this received a small strip of the
French Congo! Yes, there was
one other thing she received of
■ which the treaty made no men
! tion. When Herr von Kiderlen
Waecliter had affixed his signa
ture, Ambassador Gambon, who
acted for France, gave him silently
an envelope sealed with a black
seal. He glanced at the signature
of the paper it contained, and
placed it carefully in his pocket.
! An hour afterwards, he handed it
j to his emperor.
And two days later, Admiral
Heinrich Pachmann, returning
from an audience with the emper
or, went quietly to his quarters. At
the usual hour, his aide, coming
i for orders, rapped at his door,
I There was no answer, and, open
[ ing the door, the aide glanced in
i side. Pachmann lay sprawled
'across the floor, a bullet in his
! heart. His staff hand gripped a
duelling pistol — a handsome
weapon, which bore, chased along
its barrel, the motto of his house,
“I love and I obey'!”
THE EN IX
Sawinq Ships in Half.
Prom Harper's Magazine.
The great lakes have contributed lib
erally of their vast tonnage to replace
the ravages of the German submarines.
Through the entire autumn the com
■ ing of heavy ice and the closing of
i navigation upon our inland seas was
forecast by a steady procession of their
| craft down the river St. Lawrence.
Nor was that as easy as it reads, for
i the passageways from the four upper
lakes—upon which the greatest traffic
rides—to the blue waters of the salt
seas is barred by great natural im
pediments. Rut long years ago the Ca
nadians passed them by means of ca
nals. And the determining factor in
navigation from Lake Erie to the sea
has been the chambers of the canal
locks, about 2(15 feet in length, 45 feet
in width and 14 feet in depth. Long ago
the lake craft that conformed to these
dimensions were found by searching
eyes and taken out to the Atlantic, and
other craft were built at the abund
ant and efficient steel and wooden
ship yards along the. upper lakes. And
between 15 and 20 modern steel vessels
averaging from 350 to 3So feet in length
—almost the extreme for a cargo ves
sel of less than 45 feet beam—were
| taken through the Welland canal and
jtho canals of the upper ir>t. Lawrence
this last autumn.
The process was simple, although not
partieularlv easy. The vessels were
sawed in half. Gangs of men in the dry
docks of Cleveland and Buffalo,
equipped with acetylene torches, did the
iob in i time to bo measured in hours
rather than in days. Temporary water
tight bulkheads were Installed and the
vessel towed in two sections to the wa
ter harbor of Montreal. It was another
job of hours rather than days to join
the hull together at the dry docks of
that port and to fit the fresh water
trump with condensers and other equip
ment necessary for a craft who digs
her heels into salt water for the first
I time. _

THE SHORT AND TALL OF IT.
Where lies the trouble when one la
undesirably tall or short? What are
the possibilities of changing one’s
stature? Can one runt himself by
smoking cigarets or by eating improp
erly? Can one increase one's stature
by eating abundantly? Why are some
people long and others short?
These are daily questions, and, in
addition to the few who ask them
openly, there arc multitudes who would
like to know hut either do not care to
ask or do not know where to ask. The
eugenics office undertakes to answer
some of them in their bulletin 18.
It says that the largest factor by
far in establishing stature Is inherit
ance. A person is tall or short because
his parents are tall or short. If a tall
person replies that his parents are
short, Professor Davenport comes
back with the reply that Inheritance
is from some recent ancestor—prob
ably one or more grandparent was
tall. Tallness Is very apt to be either
a quality of the parents or of the
stock.
The answers seem simple enough,
hut somehow they do not seem to sat
isfy. And when we come to analyze
conditions things are not so simple.
Stature is not a simple matter com
posed of but a single part. The length
of tlie leg below the knee is one factor,
of tlie thigh another, of the trunk a
third, and of the neck and head a
fourth. Scientists would even sub
divide these divisions.
Now let us see what bearing these
facts have. A man may Inherit long
legs from one parent and a short body
from another, the result of the combina
tion being a long stature. Perhaps his
brother will Inherit long legs from one
ancestor and a long trunk or a long
neck from the other, the result being a
tall stature. This is enough of Itself
to account for a good many of the vari
ations In size among the brothers an<^
Bisters of a family. And then there may
be a difference in the persons inherited
from. One brother may inherit from
the father, another from the mother,
and a third from some grandparent.
Davenport states a few of tlie law*
governing inheritance of stature. When
both parents are tall or very tall and
of tall stock, practically all of the chil
dren are tall or very tall. When both
parents are short or very short and ot
short stock all children are short of
very short.
The children of tall parents are mor4
apt to “row true to form” than thoss
of short parents. The people of medium
stature are usually the children of peo
ple of medium stature. The children of
short parents are more apt to be me
dium hi stature than are the children
of tall parents.
The length of the trunk Is from 25 tc
35 per cent of the stature. The head
and neck length is about 17 per cent of
the stature. When both parents are
short from the knee down about one
fifth of the children are tall. When
both parents have legs that are long
from the knee down none of the chil
dren are short. In certain families there
Is inheritance of long bodies; In others
of long necks, and in others of long
legs.
The tendency to growth is inherent
Growtli is stopped at certain ago peri
ods by the secretions of certain glands.
Through inheritance this growtli stop
ping secretion may be more or less or
come into play sooner or later.
Democracy Gains.
From the New Republic’.
The Intolerable hardships, above all the
scarcity of food, the constant sacrifices
of thousands of men, and the untiring
propaganda of radicals and socialists have
combined in bringing about in the minds
of the Hungarian people the realization
that they were compelled to fight for no
purpose, or, worse still, for the purpose
of somebody else.
The entrance of America into the war
afforded Fount Karolyi an opportunity,
among others, to drive home the point
that after all It cannot be worth while
for Hungary to fight against the com
bination of all the democracies In the
interest of Prussian ruthleseness. But
the event that doomed the Hungarian
Junker party was the announcement
by the Russian government ©f the peace
formula of no conquests and indemnities.
Hungary, which was hurried into the war
by the dread of Muscovite imperialism,
was made to see that Muscovite imperial
ism wa* no more and that the Hungarian
people bad nothing to fear from the great
rising democracy in the east.
Whatever the ambitions of the Mag
yar Junkers have been, the Hungarian
people themselves have never dreamed
of conquest Thus it has not been too
difficult for the radicals to convince the
majority of the people that the one in
surmountable obstacle to peace was the
regime of Count Tisza and the junkers,
and that the way to overthrow this ob
stacle lay through universal suffrage.
Fortunately for the cause of demoe
racy, this time the interests of the Hun
garian people coincided with the desires
of the new king. Charles IV seems to
have realized from the very beginning
of his reign that the only chance for the
survival of his house and of the Austro
Hungarian combination was a quick
peace, and that an all powerful Prussia
was anything but a blessing for Av»s
tria and the llapshurgs. Consequently he
was inclined to support the Hungarian
people against Count Tisza, the exponent
of uncompromising Prussianism. By giv
ing his consent to the democratic reforms
and by ridding Hungary of the junker
government he inclined to enhance the
possibilities of an agreement with the
allies. Accordingly. Count Tisza was dis
carded. and the reforms promised.
It is noteworthy that tin* fall of Tisza i
came almost simultaneously with the in
dorsement by Count Czernin of the Rus
sian fv'ace formula, and it is to be re
called that as an adherent of trialism.
or the plan of an independent Jugoslav
state as a third unit within the Hape
burg combination. Count Czernin was
always bitterly hated by the Magyar
junkers. _ _ _

One of the Best Ever Harvested.
Tlie cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year,
but the price obtained was double thn*^
of 1910, which in turn was almost
double that of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1910,
many farmers were able to pay for
tlieir land outright with the proceeds
of their first year’s crop. Further evi
dence of the prosperity of Western
Canada is shown by the fact; that one
in every twenty of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. If
the farming community alone is taken,
it will be found that the proportion of
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the corre
sponding periods of 1910, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500,000,000 more was
cleared in the It months ending No
vember 30 than in the same months a
year ago.
The entry of tlie United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting a greater production of
foodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportts®*
nity. Not only can larger quantities
of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during tlic past three
years, there are millions of acres oi
arable land in Western Canada wliicfc
can still be bought at a low price.
Western Canada lias an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to when!
in 1918. It is larger than in 1917. nin
Will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915. when
(lie largest crop over known in the
West was harvested. The year 1919
should also see a further increase In
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid
erable sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers tc
the possibilities of sheep, and such was.
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that it wns impossible to meet It
adequately; the campaign for grentei
hog production is expected to yield an
increase of between 25 and 50 per cent
iu 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do bettoi
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest it
in the fall. In this way they will lit
able to achieve something that will
not only bo of great benefit to them
selves, but also to tlie great cause foi
which the Allies, Including the United
States, are now fighting.—Advertise
