ALUMINIUM IN THE ARMY.
Wal Department Experimenting With II
for Light Equipment.

- iiiignlilS WIN ~
for Light Equipment.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-War depart
mento officials of tho ordinances bureau
are giving attention to the properties
of aluminium. This metal promises to
be one OF the most important materials
in the equipment of modern armies.
Already the German armies, which are
among the first to accept improvements.
have adopted aluminium for n variety
OF uses. The war department is in a
measure following the lead of the navy
in giving attention to the new metal.
1t is in the line of small equipments
that the army is expected to utilize the
metal. Samples are in the ordnance
bureau OF aluminium cups, belt buck
les, hooks and horseshoes.
The ~lessening of tho marching
weight is one of the problems which
always is before the officers who SUI
Perlntcndent the matter of equipment.
1t is hoped that in the near future it
will be found practicable to use the
light metal, not onld for drinking cups
and dishes for the soldiers, but for
bayonet scnbbards and other accoutre-
ments in which strength is not the
first requisite.
To a private, Joseph II. Kahn of one
of the artillery companies stationed ut
Fort M%c1enry, the war department is
indebted for the design of a new and
Important patcnc which may prove SER
viceable in campaigning. 1t is q COM
bination of shovel and pick axe not
more than q foot in length, which may
be carried at the belt, and used in dig
ging in~trenchments. BY it's use the
soldiers might, If hard pressed, hur-
r'edly dig up eurthworl1s or intrench-
ments for their own shelter.

THE HAWAIIAN CANDLE NUT.
A Tree that Is usefu, in Many Ways to
the Sandwich islanders.

In all the valleys of the Hawaiian
Isles the tourist notices a tree with a
%quiveriug leaf which is light green on
the under side and dark on the TOP.
which he is told is the kukui or candle
nut. 1t is SO named from the fact that
in ancient times the kernels Of the nuts
were strung On the midrif OF the cocoa
leaf and used as torches; as the upper.
most kernel burned of the nextignited,
and SO it burnt until the last was con.
sumed.
The tree was n very useful one TO the
Hawaiian, not only in furnishing light
at night but for many other reasons.
The nuts are encased in i husk like our
wa!lnts, but it frequently occurs that
two are formed in the same husk. The
kernel is extremely rich in oil, which
has been expressed and used for house
painting, although it is but q poor SUBJ
stitate for linseed, in that it is difficult
to get it to dry, and it always has q
peculiar odor. The natives used the
oil as an external remedy for some
diseases, and especially as an aid in
parturition. Should you collect someHof
the nuts you will find them good eating,
but | should advise that you stop at one
OF two, or YOU will find YOU have an
emetic and a cathartic which will GER
tainly respond muy pronto, as the
Mexicans say.
Tho natives roast the nuts in the
ashes. and, having removed the shell,
crush the kernels to a paste, mixing
them with salt and pepper. This is one
OF the most delicious and appetizing
tests imaginable. and is an essential ele-
ment to q good feed of raw fish aud poi.
1t may be that if some Of our enterpris-
ing capitalists would 20 into the manu-
facture of inimona, as the natives cali
this paste, he might find an cver-in-
creasing market for it. 1t certainly is
preferable to the suspicious Russian
caviare. The burnt shell Of the kukui
was used for making an indelible ink,
with which tattooing was done. The
green husk contains all aerid juice which
has a reputation as a remedy in diseases
OF the throat.
From the bark Of the cethere exudes
q gum called pilale, which is as useful
as gum Arabic or gum tragacanth for
many purposes. 1t was also used as
medicine by the Hawniians in cases of
dysentery. Being harmless, it would be
useful in confectionery in making gum
drops and jujuhes.
The wood of the tree is somewhat like
our bass wood, and is of little value in
building or in fencing, rs it rots very
speedily. Sometimes the natives made
canoes of it. but never considered them
of any value. AS the trees die off in
the forest their trunks and limbs arc
found to be covered with an edible fun
gus, called pcpeiao, which was formerly
exported in great quantity to the
Chinese markets.
To-day the kukui nut is largely used
in the manufacture of jeweiry, which is
much priced by tourists as mementoes
of Il visit TO the Paradise of the Pacific.
The she'll is quite hard and takes Il bril-
liant polish, and can be had in black
and browS -HaWatian. Gazette.

Eyes that Follow You.


How is it that the eyes of some por.
traits seem to follow a spectator arouno
the room. 1t is thus explained: Sup
pose a portrait have its face and eyes,
directed straight in front, so as to looG
at the spectator. Let a straight line be
drawn through the tip Of the nose and
half way between the eyes. On each
side of this middle line there will be the
same breadth of head, of cheek. of chil
and of neck. and each iris will be in ths
middle of the whole of the eye. If one
now go to n side. the apparent hori
zontal breadth of every part of the llcad
aud face will be diminished, but the
parts on each side Of the middle line
will be diminished equally and at every
position, however obliqne, there will be
the same breadth Of face on each side o
the middle line and the iris will remain
i'll the center of the eye-ball, So that the
portrait will preserve all the characte,
of a figure looking N the spectator and
must necessarily do So wherever III
stands. In portraits the apparent mo
ton OF the head is generally rendered
indistinct by the canvas being impcr
fectly stretched, as the slightest con
cavity or convexity entirely deforms thu
face.

obtain food that the man died, but he
had a structure in his throag TINT pre-
vented food from passing into his
stomach.
Such cases are not as rare as ono
would suppose. Every once in u while
they are encountered by well known
practitioners, but they generally battle

TO the sufferers relief. Carson died a
few honss after reaching Kansas City.
In bis Iexa home he was unable uo OBJ

been saved.

Painters, Pickle.


Painters pickle is used for removing
old paint. 1t is useless to waste tine
and money applying good enamel paint
over old paint, for it quickly cracks and
grows shabby. Mix one and and one
hall pounds of stone potash. one and
onc-half pounds TO two pounds OF soft
soap. and ono-hnif pound of washing
soda together, and stir into about a
gallon of water. The pickle should
then be boiled Till the potash is melted.
Apply this with a brush. then let it
stand for several hours. The work
must afterward be washed thoroughly
with strong, hot soda water, using no
soap. This pickle may lie applied
equally well hot or cold. Great care
must be taken in using the pickle. as it
discolors the finger nails and takes the
color outof anything it to,,ches.-M. Y

Making 1t Unpleasant for tho Occupants of
His Former Residence.
JOHANNESBURG, Ky, Sept. 24.-Citi-
zens i'll the heretofore peaceful and
quiet little village of %Sherburne, eight
miles west of :his place, are just o
greatly excited over the appearance of
. real live ghost. The people of the
village are not superstitious, but there
that the ghost OF Joseph Scott, q for
that place, and who died four ycals
within the last three weeks. The
supernatural visitor was first seen by a
colored boy, who reported the fact
credence was put in his
weeks ago. while the widow was sitting
in her parlor shortly after dark, the
apparation suddenly appeared to her.
Not six feet away was the ghostly Wis
itor, sitting in what wa the deceased's
tavorite rocking chair, slowly rocking
to and fro.
Mrs. Scott was greatly frightened at
the apparation and ran out of the
AoOHi. DIG Immediately summoned iieT
son in law and daughter, Mr.. aud Mrs.
Mort Goodpnster, and telling them of
what she had seen the three returned
to the parlor and there saw the appn-
ration Still rocking back and forth
in the chair. They watched the
ghostly visitor for a few min,
ntes, when it slowly faded from
their sight. So greatly alarmed were
they that within the next few days
they vacated the dwelling and rcntcd
the property to q Mr.. Saunders and
family, who at the time knew nothing
Of the occurrence. The new occupants
were soon visited by the same appari-
ton and our informant says they are
making preparations to leave the
haunted house rs quickly as possible.
1t was attempted to keep the matter
quiet. but so many have seen the appa-
rition that the whole neighborhood is
excited over it.

cuRAcoA CORDIAL.
First Made by Negroes on u South AmerI.
can Island.

Oh the northern coast of Venezuela
lies n little island named Curacao, or
Curacao, about forty miles long and ten
wide at its widest part. which has cut
quite q figure in history. 1t was settled
by the Spania,ds as early as 1877, and
10Y years after it Was seized by the
Dutch, then at the height of their
maritime glory. In 1893 and again in
1896 it FELL into the hands of England,
but was finally coded back to Holland
in 1911.
Since then its only claim to fame or
tallsman for the attraction of CONNER
cial attention has been the dreamy,
luscious, truly tropical liguor.or cordial,
which bears its name. The thrifty
Dutch planters. after exporting for
many years sugar, cotton, indigo, to-
bacco and salt, which is now the main
export of the island, discovered that
from a species of small, bitter orange,
the citrus, aurantium c~urassuviensis,
which grew i'll wild abundance and to
which no special heed was paid, q pecu-
harry pleasant drink was rudely distilled
By the negro slaves in their hours OF
leisure.
OF course, the Dutch planters, with
superior methods of distilling improved
on the rude invention and in process of
inc only the peel of the bitter orange
came to be used, not the fruit itself.
This peel was cutoff in rings orpendant
spirals and then be dried, after which
IL became an article OF sent
principally to Holland for it was only
for a few years that the liquor was
made on the spot in any largequantity.
To-day curacao is made in Italy,
France, Germany, Spain, England and
America besides, but still the Dutch
brand is considered by eonnoisseurs as
far superior. OF this there arc several
varieties, but Is ruban-vert, or green
ribbon, curacao is accounted the best,
This again is sub-divided into two kinds,
the red and the white. and of these there
are four grades, the doux, T. sweet. the
deml-doux, the sec, or dry, and the
triple sec.
The oranges whose peel is preferred
are now mostly grown in the south of
Europe, and q yellow kind as we'll as Il
green is much in vogue. These IL
are peeled nowadays in quarters as well
rs in spiral strings, or ribbons, but one
OF the principal manufacturers Of this
cordial in this city imports chiefly the
green-iibbon kind. but because there is
much less waste to it, the peel being
twice as thin, and therefore half as
leathery.-M. Y. World.

"A BIND Girl Printer.

a remarkable case of what can be
done by a blind person is now being
exemplitied at Swaledale, Iowa. Soma
twelve weeks ago S. b. Angel pur-
chased the Swaledale Bee. and not hav-
ing enough assistance his blind sister,
Miss Hattie Angel, prevailed upon him
10 allow her to 20 into the Office and
assist in the work. For the first few
days she found occupation in folding
papers, etc, and she soon became so
proficient in that that she asked to be
allowed TO set type, and was given a
case to see what she could do. In less
than an hour she had the boxes learned,
and her first stiekful of type was set in
fifty minutes.
What is still more remarkable she can
o set as much type as the average
~compositor and do it with greater accu-
racy. She experiences but little diff
Guilty with her copy. She is expert in
writing the language of the blind and
matter is dictated to her. Writing it
down in her lnnguago, she goes to her
case aud gliding her fingers over the
raised surface she retains in her mind
entire sentences and accordingly can
set with great rapidity. In order to
get the type right side up her middle
finger is used in feeling the hicks, and
this is done while the type is being
lifted into position in the stick. She
has not yet attempted to distribute type,
but she expects to soon become master
OF this art as well. Miss Angel is a
very intelligent young IN and is a
fine player on the piano. She has also
achieved quite a little fame us a singer.
Bcst-Dressed Woman in the World.
The be~st-dressed woman in the world
is said to be Queen Marguerite Of
Italy. Her wardrobe includes q count
less variety of elegant costumes, and
she seldom wears d dress more than
oncc. This is not quite such q reck-
lessiy extravagant proceeding rs at
first appears. for the queen sells her
gowns to buyers, who are very glad
&c. get them, even at the high prices
which are charged for them. III this
connection there is a pretty story tohl.
Not long since Queen Marguerite asked
her royal Censor. for his opinion as to
whether she was still young enough to
wear her fayorite costume of white
muslin. His majesty replied: ".Ihls
matter requires reflection" Two
weeks later a box was carried to the
queens apartments; when it was open
ed the box was found TO be filed with
white gowns which King Humbert had
ordered.
