That many of the algae or seaweeds of the Middle Cambrian epoch of geo logic time, some 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 years ago, closely resemble the algae growing in the sea at the present time, is a statement made by Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian institution, in describing fossil re mains of these ancient sea plants dis covered by him in the Middle Cam brian rocks of the Canadian Rocky mountains. In the remote time when these plants were deposited on the muddy sea bottom the rock formations that are now thousands of feet above saa level, formed the shore line of a Mid dle Cambrian sea. The fossil remains from which these primitive plants were identified oc cur as shiny black films on the surface of the hard, dark siliceous shale. The mucous or gelatinous mass of the plant has been replaced by a shiny black siliceous film contain ing Iron pyrite in varying proportions. It is evident that the original organic and Inorganic matter was removed by solution and replaced by the black film, ♦he convexity and relief of the plant being lost In the process and by subse quent compression.

BLASTS OPEN CANAL Prince Connects Lake Caprolace With Mediterranean. Noted Italian Engineer Uses 50 Tons of Explosives and 1,200 Bombs in Undertaking. Rome.—Don Gelasio Caetani, a orother of Prince Caetnni, the Ameri can trained engineer who laid the mine which blew off the top of the mountain Col dl Lana during the war, burying hundreds of Australian sol diers beneath it, has just dynamited a canal into existence from Lake Capro lace to the Mediterranean sea. The work was undertaken by direc tion of the prince, also known as the duke of Sermoneta, head of the Roman Campagna and Terracina, a region which the prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seashore of this strange volcanic region there are three lakes or Ipgoons, called Fog llano, Monaci and Caprolace, com municating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundred weight are shipped. Only one, that of Fogliano, is di rectly connected with the sea, and in order to unite that of Caprolace with the neighboring Mediterranean, and to greatly Increase the yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explode a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea. < The undertaking took fifty tons of explosives and 1,200 large bombs, or five times as much as was required to destroy the mountain top. It was successful, opening a channel to the sea. 'SEND US OIL,’ FRANCE APPEAL Twice President Wilson Saved Coun try From Grave Danger, It Is Shown. Paris.—Importations of oil would be subjected to government control and oil would be sold In France at prices fixed by the cabinet under the terms of a section of the tax bill being con sidered in the chamber of deputies. The limited monopoly in oil now held by the government would be ex tended until the first of next year. Discussion of the proposal in the chamber this week has brought out tlie fact that France was in grave dan ger during the war of a shortage of fuel and lubricating oils and that Pre mie* Clemenceau had to appeal direct ly tfev President Wilson on two occa stons., ' ' + Profits on oil imported during tlie war were very large, it was charged, and there was sharp criticism of the Standard Oil company and the Brit ish Shell corporation in this connec tion. “Crocodile” Eggs Cause Rush for Antidote. London.—Practical jokers find the English easy prey. A large number of persons, mostly wom en, In Newcastle were hoaxed by a stranger who started the report that eggs of a peculiar color, which had been sold over the week-end in local shops, for 5 cents apiece, were crocodile eggs from Egypt, and poison ous. The only cure for those having eaten the eggs, he said, was pep permint, and there wms a rush for the city drugstores. One chemist was visited by fifty wom en who wmuld not leave until they had each been given a dose of peppermint. The eggs came from Denmark. 1,500 DOG TEAMS PASS POST 832 Men Sheltered at Manitoba Stop ping Place During the Past Winter.

The housewife of the present gen eration and particularly of the post year or so, during which money has been rather plentiful, has been de manding meats from one or two cuts of beef; that is, cuts from the loin for steak and cuts from the ribs for roasts. This has created a tremendous demand for the loins and ribs, leaving an oversupply of the major portion of the carcass, which the retailer must dispose of at a disadvantage, owing to the lack of demand. If Mrs. Housewife would take more Interest and specialize in her buying, end would read carefully the articles that have been and are being pub lished, calling her attention to the cheaper meats, she would realize a substantial saving. She would soon become convinced that there is excep tionally good meat in the round, rump, plates, chuck, etc. In the olden days Mrs. Housewife would call for a chuck steak, round steak, as well as an occasional porter house. Mrs. Housewife now knows only on,e steak, and that is the porter house, which is naturally the most ex pensive, as it is the most called for, j and it logically must stand the extra expense. It is the world old law of supp'y and demand. How many housewives know that from the chuck they can get steaks, boiling beef, pot roasts and stew meats? The carcass (excepting the loins and ribs) contains meats that are just as appetizing, delicious and nutritious as the more expensive cuts, which are the ribs and loins. Un fortunately, however, custom recently has dictated that the ribs and loins be considered the more popular, hence the cheaper cuts have really gone out of their own. A few years ago the average house wife usually called for a chuck steak or round steak ns a matter of course. In fact, it was the daily diet and one seldom thought of ordering sirloin or porterhouse steak, except on special occasions. A good comparison would be that of ordering chicken or turkey for every day of the week just because it happens to be a “treat” or a special delicacy, and if chicken or turkey were thus ordered the outcome would simply be higher prices, due to the demand being larger than the supply. The round makes wonderful steaks. pot roust or corned beet. It repre sents approximately 23 per cent of the entire beef carcass, and the chuck rep resents approximately 34 per cent. The loins represent 17 per cent and the ribs 9 per cent, and of the entire car cass there is actually less than 5 per cent porterhouse steak, 3 per cent of club steak and about 9 per cent of sirloin steak. Among the many appetizing uses of the chuck are roasts, steaks, pot roasts, stews, boiling beef, pot pie meat and hamburger, with the fore shank for soup meat and soup bones. There has lately arisen such a re murkable demand for one or two ex pensive kinds of meats that people who formerly were entirely satisfied with what represents the less ex pensive portions never even think of calling for them. At the same time they continually complain of their meat bills without stopping to analyze the reason. “Is that the best you have?” seems to be the by-word. The more it costs the more people want it. The less ex pensive (although often very good ar ticles), go begging. If a dealer has to buy a certain portion of the cheapei articles along with his good articles and he cannot sell the cheaper ones. YOU pay the price for what he is obliged to lose. The same applies to meats. The butcher pays a certain price for the cattle and he must get that price out of them. If the demand, as stated above, all runs to one or two different cuts, those cuts that are in demand must make up the loss on so called cheaper meats, while if there was an equal selling distribution on the entire carcass, there would not be so much complrint of the high cost of meat. Every housewife personally should make inquiries of her butcher as to the different cuts of meat.
