The Sein islanders rarely eat any ami.
NAL food except fish AS it is brought
in the women salt IL and lay it out to
dry on the quay wall or ON convenient
rock, so that before the winter they have
made large provision. Dried conger
is especially esteemed. Their ordinary
cooking is well adapted to keep in check
too eager appetite. Potatoes in their
skins, with layer Of dried fish dropped
upon them during the boiling, is an all
the year round dish, which il consid-
cred one of the most satisfying and eco
nomical The common drink is water
or cider. Fresh water is precious, for
much of that which is used is brought
over from the mainland.
The women have a mode of baking
bread which is probably one Of the most
ancient still practiced by mankind A
thick layer of live embers having been
spread upon the forepart of the hearth,
circular iron plate foot or more in
diameter is pressed down upon it. Up
on this the dough, made into the desired
shape of the loaf, is laid. Over it is
placed a convex iron cover; then a fire
of dry seaweed is made upon this. The
seaweed burns slowly and supplies just
the heat that is needed In every house
there is all that is requisite for baking
in this manner, for although in summer
there is regular supply of bread from
the mainland the furious currents Of the
Raz and the westerly gales may keep
all communication interrupted for
weeks together in the bad season 1t is
true that there is telegraphic cable,
but the means of feeding people by cleo
tricity has yet to be discovered. Tenn

Gas and Electricity.

Notwithstanding the confessed imper-
fections of the system of coal gas making,
the evil odors which attach TO the works,
the yet more offensive exhalations given
off from streets through which the main
pipes are laid, the destructive accidents
which occasionally occur from gas explo-
sions, and the heat and sulphurous fumes
evolved during its combustion, not one OF
the numerous substitutes which have been
proposed has been able TO rival it in any
large town or city where coal is market
able commodity.
AS against the System of electric light
ing, which Is how being brought into com
petition with It, it may be already demon
strated that for busy ythoroughfares, almost,
1t may be said for open air lighting gen
orally, as also for large halls and inclosed
spaces, electric lighting will in the near
future supersede gas, but that 1t will be
equally available for domestic purposes is
not yet so certain, and, until 1t can be
shown that current may be subdivided
practically without limit, that the supply
can adapt itself TO the demand with the
same ease that the pressure Of gas is regu-
lated, and that the lights can be raised and
lowered equally with gaslights, till these
and other conditions are satisfied the dis
use Of gaslighting is still very remote

Fierce War In Chinatown.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.-Chinatown
is in a turmoil and a boycott war is
fiercely waging. The Chinese six com.
panies, which for SO many years have
controlled matters in the Chinese quar-.
ter, no longer work in harmony and
will probably never again be united.
The quarrel has spread all over the
county among Chinese from here to
New York. The trouble originated in
the murder of Chang Wal, q member
OF the Sam Yup company, Mok Tai,
q Cay See Yug man, was arrested for
the murder, but his company believed
him innocent and asked the Sam Yups
to call off the prosecution. This they
refused to do and the Chinese consul
sided with the Sam Yups. Then q
boycott was declared against the Sam
Yups by the See Yups. The latter are

Mgr. Satolli's successor would de.

pope, who is an Italian, sends as his
ambassador an Italian, one who is
