CANNED WITH THE TOMATOES.
A Factory Girl Loses . Watch in This
Manner.

Manner
The finding of a gold watch and chain
In a can of tomatoes by an Indianapo-
lis woman brings out a remarkable
STORY, says the indianapolis News. The
find was reported and the circumstance
noted in the News, and the next day
a young woman who is employed in
cannery appeared at the office and iden-
tilted the watch and chain.
She lost them, she said, two years ago,
and while employed at the factory. She
did not know how she lost them, and adj
vertised in the News at the time for
several days. She says this would have
discovered her property If it had not
been sealed in a can in a storehouse.
She had long ago bought new one.
The lost one was dearer to her, however,
both because it was prettfer and be-
cause it was given to her. Her theory
is that the watch and pendant chain
dropped from her belt into one of the
elevator buckets of tomatoes, was car
ried to the filler, and went through the
filler to the can. The bow, or ring,
which connects watch and chain, was
not found, and it is believed that this
part was not solid gold, and was, there
fore, eaten by the acid of the tomatoes.
The handspring was broken. but every
thing else kept intact during the two
years handling of the eau, and the
watch is again as good as new and 10
keeping good time. The foreman Of
the factory says that another watch
was lost by one Of the girls last year.

ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION.

Mexican Government Sends Out warship
,ZaragOsa on photographic Expedition.
The first scientific expedition prose-
cuted by the Mexican government has
just started out from San Francisco.
All the scientists who will participate
in the governmental Investigations
went early aboard the Mexican war ship
Zarag osa toperfect their arrangements,
and it is to them that the expedition is
intrusted.
The Zaragosa is connected with the
Mexican photographic bureau. The
government heretofore has been utiliz-
ing the reports of foreign bureaus, and
this expedition is the first attempt to
secure information by native investiga-
ton. With this object in view, the Ear
agosa will proceed directly to Honolulu.
Complete records will he taken of all
photographic conditions Of the various
places touched. From Honolulu the
ship will stop at the following places in
order: Japan, PHILIPPINE isiunds, Su-
matra, Calcutta, Bombay, Red sea, Suez
canal, Egypt the important ports Of
southern Europe and England. Then
the return to Vera Cruz will be made.

BICYCLE FOOT THE LATEST.
Addition to the List of Ailments Peculiar
to Wheelmen.


Addition to the List of Ailments Peculiar
to Wheelmen.
Horror of horrors-here comes the
bicycle foot!
Think of it, madame, if you persist in
bicycling it will eventually affect your
footl 1t will swell the muscles, thicken
the bones, spread the joints, enlarge the
cartilaginous tissues, destroy the con-
tour of your ankle, broaden your heel,
snd-thisis in strict confidence, madame
1T will make you wear bigger shoe.
The important question before wheel
women to-day is: Shall bicycling be
abandoned and the diminutiveness of
the foot preserved, or shall the health
of the body be improved, even at the ex-
pense of the poor foot? This, of course,
Us matter that each lady must solve for
herself. 1t lies entirely between her
conscience and her foot.
Here is how the feet are marred, says
the New York Journal. The hinge joint
between the tibia and fibula and astras
galus is capable of very little motion,
consequently the effect Of continuous
motion is felt mostly in the articula-
tions of the small tarsal bones and the
bones of the metatarsus. Gradually
the ligaments and muscles uniting these
bones become elongated and enlarged,
the bones spread slightly, and the result
is an abnormally developed instep and
ankle. Then again, constant pressure
upon the sole of the foot hardens the
fexor longens ligitorum, or long flexor
of the toes, and thus destroys that pref
ty curve that is supposed to be the index
to aristocracy.
Even the calcis, or heel bone, feels the
effect of this violent exercise. The
tendon of Achilles is brought perman-
emily into action, and is greatly
strengthened and enlarged, thereby
rounding out a normally slim heel,
much to the owners displeasure.
Each of the small bones of the tarsus
has two or more ligamentous attach
ments, and there are from II to 20
muscles uniting the seven bones of the
tarsus with the four metatarsal bones
and the IA phalanges; consequently,
when each of these muscles is developed
ever so little beyond the ordinary size
it cannot help but make the owners
feet considerably out of proportion to
the rest of the body.

To the Daily Light.
In your issue of July 18th in speak
ing of Orangeman's day you say the
authorities put a stop to the parade
on account of the bloody fights. Were
the fights not caused by the Hiber-

hair and blue eyes and who are neither
dark nor fair may wear certain shades
both of yellow and of blue, the middle

is A HELPMEET, INDEED.
How the Wife of Thomas Edison Enters
Into His Labors and Triumphs.

Mrs. Thomas A. Edison has always
been in full sympathy with her hus-
bands work and is supremely happy
over the wonderful success he has at
tanned in the field of science. She is
at once loving mother and affection
ate and dutiful wife and helpmate.
She reigns queen of the Edison palace
in Llewellyn park, while her husband
yields the magical wand of genius In
his laboratory at Orange, N. j. She
often visits him at his laboratory, even
assisting him in his experiments. On
some occasions when he has remained
in his workroom for days at q time,
delving into the wonderful laws of ma
ture and seeking to apply them to his
purpose, she has been with him the
entire time, sleeping on cot near his
work bench.
That Is the only kind of a woman that
could live happily with Edison or any
other genius, and that is also the only
kind of woman that is suitable and
agreeable wife to a man whose life is
a slave, or rather tool, to science. Mrs.
Edison was Miss Miller, an Ohio girl,
the daughter of mechanic and en-
gineer Of some inventive genius. 1t
is'apropos to say that tom" Edison
is also a Buckeye. He was born at
Milan, Erie county, o., February IL,
1S47. His mother was sensible, agree
able and well-educated woman, and his
father was village jack-of-all-trades,
earning a living by doing odd jobs for
neighboring farmers. Edison's entire
school life amounted to two months.
His biographer writes: whatever else
he knew as boy he learned from his
mother. Edison's first wife was a
bright little office clerk, whom he ad-
mired, proposed to and married all
within the short space of three days.

ADVANTAGE TO FARMERS.
American Government to Establish .
Biological Survey.


The secretary of agriculture will es-
tablish u department on July to be
called the biological survey. The re-
suit is expected to be a tremendous
economic advantage. Agriculturists,
horticulturistS and stock raiSers are
to be given charts showing the exact
position of each state and territory
where certain animals and vegetables
can be advaDtageously raised. These
will be supplemented by large cata-
logue containing every land animal
and vegetable of the world, and indi-
eating the areas in which they may be
raised or cultivated by Americans.
Millions of dollars are thrown away
each year by farmers and other pro-
ducers who plant seed in the wrong
soil or climate, or who undertake to
breed animals where the atmosphere
and food resource ig uncongenial. An
efficient corps of naturalists connect
ed with the biological bureau will
make a detailed survey of the whole
country, counting and classifying the
living species found in each county of
each state and territory. They will also
note the conditions of climate, altitude
and soil, and will note how far each
condition influences the distribution
of the species. The chief Of the new
survey win be DR.. C. Hart Merriam.
A survey Of the entire country will
be made, and charts will then be pub
lished showing the exact location Of
the various species. No other country
in the world has ever instituted sur
vey of this kind.

HOW SALMON ARE CANNED.
The Rough and Elementary Process
Through Which This Table Dainty Goes.

The Rough and Elementary Process
Through Which This Table Dainty Goes.
Salmon, though usually considered
delicate and somewhat expensive dain-
ty, are canned by a process which is
both rough and elementary, says Pear
sons Weekly.
At the spot where they are to be
landed, rude sheds are built close down
by the waters edge. The salmon are
thrown out of the boats by forks, and
passed into the first shed, where a
butcher, armed with long knife, de-
prives them of heads, tails, fins, cuts
them open, and hands them on to the
washing room.
Thence they pass into the hand of
another butcher, who divides them up
into suitable lengths. These are stuffed
into the cans, which are then placed on
an inclined plane, their tops being au-
tomatically soldered on as they roll
down.
The cans are arranged on a tray, and
immersed in boiling water. They are
taken out and tested, they are given a
lacquer bath and tested again, by the
simple means of hammering a nail
against the tins, and judging the quail
ity by the sound given out.
Forty-eight cans are packed in a
case, and the salmon, short time ago
alive and fresh, now cooked and canned,
Is ready for the market.
An average sized fish will fill 20 cans.

MEMS HANDS.
Hhey Are Awkward Appendages I'm So

They Are Awkward APPENDICES I'm So
ciety-the Bon Bon Box.
1t is sometimes interesting to observe
the awkward use men make of thcir
hands at formal indoor assemblages of
the two sexes, says the New York Sun.
To the larger number these members
are a positive iReumbrance, and every
device is resorted to to find employment
for them. Even in the older social CEN
tiers of Europe a graceful and easy dis
posal Of the hands, by men, is recog-
nized as exceptional. During the reign
of Louis XIV, XIV. and XVI, when the
elsgancies of high life were studied in
the minutest detail, the superfuity of
the hands was matter of grave con-
Germ. Relief was found, however, in
the pommel of the sword, the bonbon
or the snuff box. These proved Ravens
of refuge, and manual awkwardness
was saved from shipwreck. The snuff
box endured until the early years of the
present century; but since it has passed
away the society man is left to such de-
vices for the use of his hands as inge-
nuity can suggest. The beacon of SAL
walton is at last in sight through the
vogue, now in progress of growth in
Paris, for the use of bonbon boxes by
men. These receptaeles are coming
into common use, and many are of great
cost and beauty of workmanship. They
are made in chased gold and silver, or
enameled, and set with. precious stones.
Not only do they contribute a decofa-
tive note to social functions, but they
offer grateful relief to those men whose
hands are apparently superfuous OR
such occasions. Without doubt this
new fashion will find favor with us, and
within brief period thousands of these
bonbon boxes will be made in Newark
and exhibited in Chicago society as an
cestral heirlooms of the time of Louis
XIV
