THAT gives fifty pounds of food material
for s.. This list may be varied in many
ways for the same amount of money.
Five Cents Pound.
1.-The water added in cooking many of
these articles would carry the weight Of
cooked food to sixty pounds or more, max
ing an average cost of the food cooked 5
cents pound. It is not difficult to make
a varied. nutritious and appetizing dietary
at less than cents pound, but that will
suffice. l have given a hearty four-course
lunch to six men at a cost of 30 cents for
the whole-one and a half pounds each.
Now, If you can find twelve people who
can eat sixty pounds of cooked food at
meal, you will have to go to the brick
yards. or to the men who are engaged in
the hardest kind Of manual work If you
take the average of the community, sixty
pounds would serve four families of five
each-two adults and three children per
family-for one days nutrition. II you as
sign the whole supply to one dinner do
not think you can find twenty-five avera ge
adults in Washington who would consume
it all. Some part would be left.
This food could be completely and thor
oughly cooked in one Aladdin oven in three
charges with a consumption Of one quart
of kerosene oil, costing at the advanced
price three cents. These are facts, not theo-

THE KUNGPAI DISASTER.
Five Hundred Chinese Soldiers

Five Hundred Chinese Soldiers
Meet Death bv Drowning.
It has been ascertained that
the destruction of the steamer
Kungpai was due to All explosion
of gunpowder, not to the blowing
up Of her boilers, as was at first
supposed. Of the foreigners on
board at the time six lost their
lives, the third engineer alone
being saved. About 500 Chinese
persisted. The disaster occurred
on the morning of the 18th Of
October. The steamer had on
board 700 soldiers When the pow
der explosion set her on fire. The
crew worked hard for more than
half an hour to extinguish the
flames, but in vain, and another
explosion, probably from the
boilers, followed. The captain
and chief officer, being wounded
by the first explosion, were laid
in a boat to be brought to shore,
but the soldiers crowding into
the boat, the davits broke and the
boat was smashed by the heavy
sea running at the time. The
steamer sank in shallow water and
the survivors. one foreigner and
200 soldiers, were sitting on the
wreck for seventeen hours, the
sea being too heavy for any boat
to reach them.

NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispe.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
| the complex ones aye seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, II patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through us, and whether he &C.
cures the prize or not the inventor will hav

PEASANTS OPENED THE DYKE.-A
dispatch from Buda Pest says the
Temesvar district has been threatened
for several days with floods from the
swollen waterways. The peasants held
meetings to consider means of saving
their crops and decided eventually to
cut the dykes ofthe Bega canal, thus
giving vent into the territory of royal
Dutch company which owns much land
and thousands of cattle in the district.
The company was forewarned. 1t
posted force of its employees at the
point where the peasants planned to
open the dyke and instructed them to
drive of everybody attempting to ap-
proach the canal.
The peasants attacked the employees
with scythes and clubs, dispersed them
after hot fight and cut deep ditch
through the canal bank. They were
obliged to flee for their lives when the
water burst out. Thousands OF acres
were under water within a few hours.
Some Z 500 of the company's pigs were
drowned and 10000 head of cattle are
in imminent danger. The company
claims heavy damages from the govern
ment. The ministers of the interior
and agriculture will investigate the
matter.

CINCINNATI, Mar. S.-The steamer
Longfellow, en- route from Cincinnati
to New Orleans, on leaving here at
seven o'clock this morning with forty
passengers aboard, besidesa crew of 50
and 20 laborers, struck the pier OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
bridge, sinking Immediately. She sank
in thirty feet of water opposite the
Marmet coal landing at the foot OF
Smith street. She struck the channel
span of the Chesapeake bridge and
sank within three minutes. According
to the best information eight persons
were lost. The pilot in charge Of the
boat says the fog was so dense when
she struck that he was unable to dis
Germ the pier in the mist and was not
aware of its proximity. The steamer
literally crumbled to pieces immediate
~ following the collision and the bow
of the boat sunk while the cabin and
stern hoated away. The steamer Car
rell had the steamer in tow at the time
ofthe accident and coming alongside the
passengers left the sinking steamer and
boarded her. Among the lost is Capt.
J. L. Carter, of the Longfellow.
The body of a sixteen-year-old girl
was recovered from the wreck this af-
ternoon. She is supposed to be an in
valid from New York, who was on her
way south, attended by her physician,
lady known as Doctor Anderson.
