OCToBER.-The beautiful month, all that
all love, has set in. 1t is the month of chest
nuts, ohinequepins, weddings, country fairs
and pumpkins. The trees have begun al
ready to shed their leaves, and the woods
have no longer that greenness that was so
beautiful to look upon few days ago. The
effect of the weather is more noticeable in
the mountains. The leaves are turning,
rapidly. In the midst of clump of green,
way up on the mountain side, there will be
found bright dash of red, of the dogwood,
which is one of the frat to turn. Nearby,
climbing the trunk of huge oak, is the Vir.
ginia creeper, which has changed from its
green to many. .coored red. Some of the
leaves are bright carmine; others have
dark brown streak in them. and still others
retain the green, though the gloss is gone.
The foliage on the chestnut trees is growing
yellow, and the burrs begin to show that
ere long they will open and allow their fruit
to be plucked without danger to ones fin
gers. 1t is no wonder that the month is be-
loved, and that its coming is hailed with joy
and its departure with sadness. All nature
is beautiful, and though it is the beauty that
precedes death, it does not seem mournful
and sad as in November, when the chill of
winter has nearly killed all that was lovely
in summer. The earth has yielded her
fruit for the year, aud is now in her full
mature beauty, the perfect bloom that pre-
cedes decay.

SOME STARCH FooDs.-Cookipg starch is
got from maize, and, besides corn and pota
toes, there are several other sources of starch
foods. Arrowroot ia got from a West In-
dian plant, by grinding and rasping the
root and washing the pulp, which is 25 per
cent. starch, the grains of this separating
from the rest The cassava root of South
America furnishes manioca, and there is q
bitter, poisonous variety that yields the ir
regular hard Jumps of tapioca. This root is
sometimes three feet long and weighs twen-
ty pounds; the milk juice is removed by
pressing. and the poisonous principles by
heat. The true ssgo palm is one ofihe most
abundant sources OF the nutritious starches.
Three trees furnish as much nourishment as
an acre of wheat and six times as much as
an acre of potatoes. 1t is said that ten days
labor will supply man with sago cake suf.
fcent for years. eustenance a single tree
contains from 25 to 80 bushels of pith, which
will yield from 600 to 500 pounds of fine
starch. Three starch fruits that are destined
to hold higher position among the worlds
food products are the yam, the bread fruit
and the banana. The last is q rival of the
sago palm in supplying the maximum of nu-
triment with the minimum OF labor. The
weld is forty -four times that of the potato ;
the percentage of starch is greater aud the
fruit is richer in other elements ofnutrition,
80 that the meal, made by drying and grind
ing the pulp, resembles wheat flour iu food
value. 1t is not expensive to prepare, is
easily digested, and is largely used in British
Guiana for children and invalids.-

A NEW MODE OF HARBoR DEFENSE
Rear Admiral Luce, OF The navy, recently
visited Philadelphia harbor in eteam
launch by the canal route, because he want
ed to examine the praclicsbiity of big
scheme and the best way to 90 II was from
the deck of the launch. A company backed
by millions of dollars has proposed to the
Secretary of the Navy striking and posi-
bly, effective scheme for the defense of that
harbor and the barbors of other cities from
the attacks of an enemy's feet by shooting
gnited petroleum at the unfriendy ships
from the bottom of the river and burning
them up. The petroleum defense scheme,
the orignators of which have induced the
government to make this preliminary ex
animation of the harbor, is brilliant one
in more respects than one. 4 company has
been organized at Washington to develop
the plan and TO show its practiCability. It
Ia proposed to sink perforated iron pipes in
the river bed and the approaches to the har-
Dor, through which petroleum can be forced
to the surface Of the river by machinery and
at high pressure. In this way n fierce
stream OF blazing oil can be ssut down into
the enemy's fleet and destroy il or drive tbe
ships away. 1t is claimed by the projectors.
that q flame can be produced 10 this way as
high as ships mast aud sent with terrific
force into the attacking vessels many miles
from the point where the oil ID supplied to
the system of submerged pipes. Iron yes
sells could not pass through this lake of fire,
because it could be made to extend many
miles along the river. An experiment iu
connection with this scheme will be made
at Fort Mifdin in few weeks. The neces-
sary apparatus is almost ready at the pres
ent moment, and great things are expected
from this test.

A CAPITALIST TALKS OF WICHITA.

Mr.. Lombard, the head of the great
mortgage and banking company, whose
branch houses are scattered from his prin-
cipal house in Boston all along through
the west, is in the city, and made the
EAGLE a call yesterday. Mr.. Lombard,
who had come on from Boston to Gales
burg, Illinois, his home, to vote and thence
west to Kansas City and to Wichita, said
in the course of his conversation that there
was renewed confidence all along the
line and better feeling in business circles
over the result of the election. The will
and hope and beliefs of the American peo-
pie, that portion especially whose states
and communities control the business of
the country, had been seconded and rati-
fed and the result would be solidity and
prosperity Mr.. l.. was very compliment
tary of Wichita. In his estimation there
is no other such city, no other such people
in the United States, and he says so
wherever he goes. But entertaining all
these high notions he said he was perfectly
astounded over all that had been accom-
plished the past year in the way of solid
improvements and magnificent permanent
buildings

BOSTON IN WICHITA.

We had delightful call yesterday from
several Boston capitalists in company
with Mr.. ]. Oak Davidson, whose guests
they were, the party consisting of c. E.
Stratton, Esq. A, L. Thorndike, owner of
the great hotel bearing his name, and w.
T. Babcock, vice president of the David
son Motor company These gentlemen
have been in the city since Sunday, taking
in every part of it, in spite of the mud and
unfavorable weather If good nature
happy faces and great prophesies for the
future of the metropolis of Kansas means
anything they must have been highly
pleased with all they saw Boston be
lieves in Wichita more and more each sue
ceeding year, and with each year we well
come the greater number Of visits from
her monied pen. Wichita is but just get
ting ready to really grow, getting in her
foundations and fixing her bounds that
the superstructure may be no less substan-
tial than symmetrical. All of these gentle
men united in the affirmation that no city
on the continent boasts better or finer
country at its back which doubly assures
Its coming Importance.

others. smaller in size just east of it, were
owned by Mr.. Lane, who lives on Mosley

by Joseph Wright. The two houses owned
by Mr.. Lane were unoccupied, but in both
of the others a family was living. In the
Garrison house lived P A. Earl; the other
was occupied by Mr.. Wright and family
The fire is supposed to have
been caused by the explosion
of lamp in Mr.. EarPs
house All the members OF the household
were away attending a dance on Oak
street: and Mr.. Wright. who was the first
to discover the fire. said he saw the blaze
through the window and gave the alarm
through the station at the corner of Third
and Wabash. No answered but only the
chemical could be used, and by this a
small house but few feet east OF the
burning structure was saved and Mr.
Wright's house was saved from total de-
structioD.
In the absence of the Earl family all
household goods were destroyed. Mr..
Wright succeeded in saving most OF his
furniture
The loss was not stated last night, but
will reach several thousand dollars. Mr..
Garrison had his house insured for 81 GOO.
