Champion Champagne Drinker

When Charles S. Newhall of Boston
absconded as treasurer of the Melrose
Cooperative bank his habits were close
ly inquired into. At first it was thought
that his defalcation would amount to
only few hundred dollars, but exami-
nation of the books showed that it ran
into the thousands. Then, one day. they
found among his effects trunk in which
he had carefully treasured 5000 cham
pagne corks. Each of these corks rep
resented the purchase of one quart bot
tie Of wine. 1t wa searned that this was
his fad, to carry away the corks. This
amount of wine he had opened in less
than four years, and it cost at the lowest
figure $4,000. Three thousand bottles Of
wine means 250 cases of wine, quite a
pile. more than can be loaded ON two
regulation freight cars. 1t is more than

above the needful quantity of that sub
stance required.
This simple Illustration will serve to
show how essen tial 1t is TO make proper
choice Of the food supply for use in
country remote from points of purchase,
and where 1t is impossible to run around
the corner to the drug store. A man
starting off with 500 pounds of properly
assorted food is away ahead Of the man
who has 1900 pounds Of food that, how
ever gratifying to the palate, is lacking
in the proper proportions of nourishing
constituents. Then the question of
packing food over the trail is important.
To pay 20 cents per pound for quantity
of non-nourishing food is the height of
folly. In the Arctic the body Graves fatty
foods, and the amount of walrus blubber
that an Esquimaux belle will get away
with is astonishing, while for traveller
to give an Esquimaux child a tallow
candle is to win its heart for life. 1t will
suck at 1t and make long drawn out
sweetness of it, just as children nearer
home daily with a stick Of candy. The
Hudson Bay company's employees use as
their principal articles Of diet "pemmi-
can." This is simply meat of any kind
sun dried and then pounded in mortar
and mixed to the consistency of a thick
paste with the fat Of the animal. Such
food packs close and is most nutritious.
Then a close study has been made of
concentrated foods in Europe for army
purposes, and may be turned now to
good account. The New York expedi-
tion previously alluded to took guam
tity of "zomosa." 1t is put up in the
shape of tablets, each tablet making
quart of rich bouillon. A variety of
soups are put up in this form, and a wide
range Of concentrated foods are now to
be procured from which judicious selec-
ton can be made. Then, too, camp
ing outfit is now being made consisting
of 54 pieces, which will fit in one-gallon
can and weighs but twenty pounds.

Roulette With an Electric Fan

In Pittsburg there is a gambling re-
sort in nearly every business house
Roulette is the game. 1t is played with
an electric fan.
If roulette wheel merely consisted of
red and dark marks with little black
marble coursing around, uncertain
where to stop, and seldom stopping
where 1t ought, then swiftly revolving
electrical wheel ought to stop in some
uncertain place when the current was
shut off. Acting upon this scheme, the
inventor of the new form of gambling
proceeded to number the blades. Then
each member of the gambling fraternity
puts his money upon one blade If the
suspended animation of the fan proves
that his guess was correct he wins the
stake. 1t is such an easy way of waging
money that in most Of the offices where
electrical fans are used there appears
upon each blade the numbers, "One.
two, three, four, five and six"
To the uninitiated they mean little.
but to the now habitual player on this
newly devised wheel of fortune they evil
dence much. He. walks into a, strange
office, incidentally turns off the curren I
of the electric fan, and if he sees the
numbers there he Immediately remarks: !:
Il choose six," or whatever may be his
favorite number. Some member of the
firm or clerk Immediately places his
faith upon some other number turning
up, and there it is In a minute there
is first-class game going a full speed.

PREHISTORIC RELICS FOUND
Exploring Party Finds Many Mounds
and an Ancient Fort

The St. Paul Dispatch publishes A
detailed account today of an exploring
expedition recently sent out by it in
charge of Louis de Lestry, to locate,
survey and define the prehistoric mounds
Of the Missouri river valley in South
Dakota. A synopsis is herewith given:
THE existance of mounds near the
Missouri river has been known to the
leader of the expedition for some five
years, while another member of the
party was also aware of their existence
fourteen years ago. But a no time has
there ever been ar. effort made to cor
rectly locate them and obtain definite
knowledge of their exact character.
The expedition was so successful that
another immense area of work has been
opened to the field of archaeology.
THE expedition located two distinct
fields of prehistoric mounds and one
well-preserved fortification within dis
tance of five miles in lergth and three
quarters of mile wide.
Both groups of mounds are of con-
siderable magnitude, The largest group
was located opposite the mouth of the
Grand river, and contains 500, 900 square
feet Of territory. with eighty-four count
ed and surveyed mounds upon the field,
am elevation of ITS feet above the Mis-
souri, river. One Of the largest mounds
was opened by the party, and immerse
quantities of prehistoric specimens
secured and brought back to this city.
"The second field of mounds within
this same area, was four miles distant,
and to some extent obliterated by the
plow. But there were upward of fifty
mounds in this field, and prehistoric
pottery, arrows and stone implements
were found here also ir. large numbers.
Close to the edge of this second field,
which lies in township 124, North Wal
worth county. South Dakota, the party
found several trenches containing hu-
man skeletons, and several skulls were
brought back.
zone in particular is that of very
aged, person. Most Of the teeth are
still preserved, and the skulls have ex-
cited the attention. of medical men in this
city, They are harder, heavier and
thicker even than those of a negro and
much unlike those of the Indians of the
Colum bia.
"A mile and quarter below this place
the party located a well-pre eeserved for
tification of earth, still showing the
outer and inner works Two springs
are i'm existance In close proximity, while
the gateway or entrances to the fortih-
cations are still marked.
Here. too, the evidence Of prehistoric
character was abundant, and a number
of stone implements were secured. 1t
seems as If an entire prehistoric settle
ment had been properly located, In
cluding it's means of last defense. The
field invites the closest attention or. the
part of the archaeologists." s."-Chica go

COUNCIL FORECAST
What Is to Be Considered at the Ses-
sion on Monday

The city council will occupy the time
at today's session with routine matters
almost exclusively. None of the COM
mittees have anything to report, but the
officials on the first floor may make rec
ommer.datiors concerning matters
brought before them by the public late
on Saturday.
Engineer Dockweiler will, as usual
report or. the bids made for street work,
but the superintendent of buildings will
not return anything Of Importance.
THE WATER QUESTION
The water supply committee Is quietly
awaiting an answer from the water
company concerning the city's offer to
arbitrate, but nothing along that line
will occur today. Senator White, attor-
ney for the water company, Is still out
OF the city, and there are other reasons
why nothing will be done. So far the
outlook is not promising for lively
meeting.

Dyea, it seems as If the old time pork
and beans, bacon and the other good
old standbys were being utilized to the
fullest extent. And yet there are rea-
sons why a little more thought should
be given the question of food than II
seems hitherto to have received
The trappers in the employ Of the Hud-
son Bay company have got the food
question down, perhaps, to as fine a
point as any body Of men and science
endorses their methods
The supply of food to the body Is in
the nature of feeding fuel to keep a ma
chine running; the best kind of fuel will
enable the machine to run at higher
speed with less friction, and with the
greatest economy. So with the body.
The application of science to the regula-
ton of the continuous demands of the
body for nutriment aims mainly a three
objects-health, pleasure and economy.
smuch as a trip to Klondyke is not
a picnic the consideration of pleasure
may be wiped out. A miner doesn't look
for or expect pleasure of that kind, and
if he did he wouldn't get it. But health
and economy are vital points. Suppose
a gang of strong healthy men to void in
the shape of breathed air, etc., 711s
pounds of carbon and AZ pounds of nj
trogen-about the actual amount as
estimated by physiological works-then
both nitrogen and carbon to that ex-
tent must Of course be supplied in the
food. If they were fed on bread only
there would be wanted daily at least
$50 pounds of it to sustain them, for il
takes that weight to yield the4A pounds
of nitrogen daily excreted; while in the
$3.50 pounds of bread there are the 1881
pounds Of carbon, which is 81 pounds

or so later Manuel, sitting in boat
handled by another soldier. was pulled
alongside the fighting skiff, his boat
coming from the Texas side. Then, at
the same moment, each of the prluci :
