ment so success. fully inaugura;ed 10y the
state convention held in this city yester-
day having for its object the proper pre-
sentalion Of Texas and its lImitless re-
cago in 1898 has assumed prnpor-
rions that give promise of ultimate
sucress In having Texas represented
upon scale commensurate with her i'm
rortaure. The presence of delegates TO
this convention iIom ali sections of the
stuts shows the wide spreul interest
manifested in the subject and proves that
the representative men of Texas nre alive
TO the importunrr of the movement.
The o.ly thing necessary TO promote its
ultimate success Is the securing of suffi-
cieut funds with which to make such an
exhibit us the occasion deserves AMI as
the present progress of the state will de-
mand. The legislature that will
soon convene 1t Austin will
be memoriulized AMI appealed

the best material that can be secur cd
from the various senatorial districts of
the state, asking that body AM urging

county organizations throughout the
stute. The senatorial committee hus
already been appointed, also the state
executive board, the duty of which
will be TO prepare the Texas
exhibit and exercise general control
AMI supervision over the movement.
As the headquarters of the movement
have been located here, four OF the
members Of the executive committee
have been appointed from Houston. the
idea being TO concentrate the work As
work preparing articles of incorporation
with the view of incorporating the move

rs formed by the late convention. Mr..
7. j. Hurley of Fort Worth, president OF
the organization, is an enthusiastic
worker AMI is thoroughly Imbued with
the idea of having Texas properly repre-
scented at Inc great Columbian expose

Mr.. d. D. Bryan, q well-known news

the movement the benefit of a marked

A well-known society woman here,

and was surprised that her listeners did
not commiserate her or the indignit1

women. Others had been telling al

callers, and my lady thought hers

RAW Oysters sele-Dige stive.

s'Fothergin on Indigestion" in speak
ing OF the oyster being eaten habitually
and by preference in the raw or un-
cooked state, says: ''It is interesting to
know that there is a sound physiologi-
cal reason at the bottom of this prefer
ence. The fawn-colored mass which
constitutes the dainty Of the oyster Is
its liver, and this Is nttlo less than 3
mass Of glycogen; associated with the
glycogen, but WITHHELD from actual con-
tact with it during life, is it's appropriate
digestive ferment--the hepatic diastace.
The mere crushing between the teeth
brings these two bodies together, and
the glycogen is at once digested, with
out.other help, by its own diastace. The
oyster in the uncooked state, or merely
warmed, is, in fact, self-d Igestive. But
the advantage Of this prov ision Is wholly
lost by cooking, for the leat employed
Immediately destroys the associated fer
ment, and the cooked oyster has to be
digestsd Like any othe, food by the

The Raw Material from WhfSh the Ar
sHsss5 tees Made Their Inpleme nts.
When Cortez had completed the con-
quest OF Mexico, the Spaniards among 9
great many other peculiar and extraodi-
nary observations which they made In
that remarkable country, were particu-
larly struck and puzzled by one fact.
They noticed that the Aztecs possessed
certain implements, such as knives, dag
gers, setc., made Of iron, bu1 it seemed
that only the most disting guished Of the
natives possessed such, that iron was q
great rarity, and was priced higher than
gold.
AT first the Spaniards believed that
the Aztecs extracted the metal in some
crude fashion from its ore, which
abounded in many parts OF the country,
but they soon ascertained that this was
not the case. They found that not a
single smelling furnace existed in the
empire, and their surprise was not small
when they learned that the Aztecs were
totally nnacquainted with any method
of extracting the iron from the ore,
which indeed they had never suspected
Of any kinship with the highly valued
metal.
The question whence the Aztecs had
procured the little iron they possessed
became a perp1exing problem to the
Spaniards, problem which they were
never able to solve. The natives do not
seem to have enlightened them much
on.the subject, for when asked they
mysteriously pointed to the sky and in
dicated that they obtained their Iron
from the regions above. Such asser-
tions no doubt the Spaniards received
with an incredulous smile, and they con-
cluded that the Aztecs received it by
way of traffic with some other perhaps
more civilized nation, which they sus-
pected to exist and kept looking for,
north and south, for more than a hun
dred years.
1t was left to modern science to un-
ravel the mystery. The Aztecs were
quite correct. The iron of which they
had made their implements was not
fashioned from materials of this ter
restrial globe, but had come to them
from the unknown regions of space.
Their iron was, in fact, Of meteoric
origin, like that of the Mayas of Yucca
tan and the Incas of Peru, of which
many weapons are still preserved in col
lections.
