QUARTER MILLION OF
RUSSIANS EXPECTED
PARIS, April 27—Due to the
heavy storm ehcounterd in the
Mediterranean, the arrival of the
Russian transports with the large
re-enforcement of soldiers for the
allies-.was delayed considerable- The
delay, nowever, caused no anxiety
because every precaution for their
protection had been taken
The coming of Russian troops
to the western front has been talk
ed of by military people for two
or three months- The reason for
bringing the Russian troops here
is given that it is easier to arm
and supply fighting material to
those troops on the western front
than on the eastern front.
It is said- that Russia has still
many hundred thousand men under
training than she can use on her
fighting lines, due to the lack of
ammunition and other supplies- It
is thought that possibly 250,000 Rus
sians will be brought into France
this spring.

SUNFLOWER PITH IS
LIGHTER THAN CORK
The pith or medullin of the sun
flower stalk is by far the lightest
known vegetable substance. The
structure and formation of all piths
are essentially very similar, being
composed of thin-walled cellular
tissue- The cells filling the interior
of the sunflower stalk when young
contain sap and a large number of
starch grains
The starch gradually disappears
as the foilage, which is in com
munication with the pith, becomes
fully organized- After the leaves
are developed the pith soon dries
up, leaving only the very thin walls
of the cells- •
The pith in this state has a speci
fic gravity of 0-028, while that of
cork is 0-24- One of its chief uses
is the making of life-saving ap- |
pliancet,
