FOOD FOR WARM WEATHER.
Fruits and Vegetables should De the
Principal Diet During the
summer Months.

Not cold food, but food which will
generate a minimum amount of heat
in tho body. is the proper fare during
hot weather. Instinct aud common ex-
perience lead MS to avoid at this season
foods known TO be heat-producing, such
as pork or other fat meat, and corn
Ecal. The properties of fat and oil
which cause them to burn readily in
the air make them excellent fuel in
the body. Oatmeal. which contains
twice and I'm some cases three times as
large proportion Of fat as corn meal,
and four OF five times as much as
cracked wheat, Is the least desirable OF
breakfast cereals for summer use. Rice
has no fat, hence its value as a hot
weather food.
II is not to be inferred from these
facts that we need no fat In hot wealth
er We are likely, however, to get all
that we need, II not more, I'm our or
binary allowance of butter, milk, cream
and meat, q certain amount being
mixed through even lean tissue.
The juicy fruits aud vegetables album
daut IN summer seem intended by ma
ture 20 replace in the system the wa
ter lost by excessive perspiration. For
rebuilding the tissues Of the body we
require u constant supply Of foods con-
tanning nitrogen, "Aesh-forming" foods.
as they are commonly called. Meat is
rich In this material. but Is contained
I'm larger quantities when rare than
when well done. As in the ease of fats,
appetite guides US in this matter, max
ing Slice of rare beef less tempting in
August than in January, Fish and
fowl. being less stimulating than meat,
lgr-e,y take its place in summer with
benefit to the health Of the household.
Milk and eggs, peas aud beansare good
tissue builders, free from the undcsir-
able qualities OF meat. Where these are
plenty the housekeeper need not fear
that the household will suffer, even II
good meat should be hard TO obtain.
Do not omit soup from the summer
blll of fare. A slow FIRE Is sufficient for
preparing stock. The vegetables or

THE WOMAN AND THE WORM.
One Cnse In which Dainty Timid
Looking Girl showed
Real Nerve.

calm, well-balanced woman of dig
nified mien sat on seat in an open
street Rar facing dainty, birdlike little
creature of her own sex, whose face,
while il was decidedly pleasant to look
at, bore witness that she was a sister
of the "clinging vine" variety, sadly
devoid of strong purpose or will power
Sire was one of those atoms of woman
hood whom even a woman is inclined to
embrace upon the shortest acquaint-
ance, and the men-well, she was of a
style that is simply irresistible TO the
lsterner sex.
The woman smiled half amusedly
as she watched her vis-a-vis' bright face,
the verEpicture ofinnoeence and sweet
ness. Suddenly the calm woman
frowned and drew herself together with
the faintest possible shudder For
there, on the white pique skirt of her
pretty neighbor, was n small green

maculate surface. She leaned forward.
intent upon informing the young girl
iof the monsters presence, but drew
'lrlck again, realizing the possible re
suits. II there was one thing that the
calm woman loathed and abomiuated It
Nwas worms In general and green ones

tion of the shy little woman opposite
her TO the fact that she was Mt that mo-

girl would scream, Of course, and whisk
the Objectionable reptile off her own
skirts on to those of her informant.
The calm woman, who was rapidly
losing her calmness under the nervous
strain inspired By the sight of the
worm, decided she would not risk in
reference. All the way downtown ST.,
watched the hideous thing, a moving
blot upon her neighbor's immaculate
apparel. She felt for the girl, but dared
not tell her of her predicament Mean
while the girl remained in blissful ig
norance. At length the green streal
moved up to the girls gluved hand
which reposed in her lap. Fearing lest
the creature should crawl up her sleeve
the erstwhile calm woman, who pridet
herself upon her self-possession under
ordinary and even sometimes cxtraor
dinary circumstances, leaned forward
and said almost hysterically:
Il beg your pardon, but but-ther,
is a worm on your hand"
Then she drew away shudderingly 81

THE EFFECrs or EROSION.

The amount Of erosion accomplished
by the Colorado river and its tribu-
taries in the great plateau Of Western
North America was a revelation for
geolOgists. The surface Of the plateau
being covered with tertiary lacustrine
deposits, and these deposits having re-
mained intact on both banks OF the
5000 to 5000 feet deep canyons which
intersect the plateau, it was proved
that the rivers had cut their beds
through these deposits, ais well as
through thousands Of feet of underly-
ing hard rocks, since the tertiary
period. In certain places the horizon
tai strata Of which the plateau is built
up have been excavated, so as to pro-
duce a cleft 1900 feet deep, running
between two vertical walls which are
separated from each other by the width
only Of the river.
In other places the rocks are SOUP
tured into separate mountains and
ridges, from 5000 to 5000 feet high, by
a network Of eroded valley, the noun
tain scenery obtained in such cases be-
ing one of unsurpassed grandeur Il
became evident that under certain IA
vorable conditions Of relief and eli
mate "a river was able TO excavate a
bed 300 miles long, about II miles wide
at the top Of the gap, and from 5000
to over 5000 deep, almost since mans
appearance on the earth. Moreover
within the same relatively short geo.
logical period MASSES Of rocks, several
thousands of feet thick 10000 feet in
certain places), had been removed by
denudation from the surface Of the
plateau. .-.NfnHteenth Century

One Found on the Supply
Ship Port Victor.
PUT THERE BY SPANISH SPIES.
Diabolical Attempt to Blow Up Captain
DriokIey's vessel Contained Thirty
Pounds of Dynamite and Gun
Cotton with CIookworx Fuse.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Information
Of an attempt to blow up an American
ship by means Of an internal machine
was brought to this city yesterday by
letter to an army officer who has his
headquarters in the Army building.
1t came from Captain William G.
Brickley, who is in command Of the re-
frigerating and supply ship Port Vic
tor. which sailed from this port for
Tampa on July 12.
Captain Brickley writes that the ship
had been out three days when he asked
Harvey Schiller, chief steward of the
Port Victor, about a long box which
was on the main deck near the cabin.
He had noticed II on the first day out,
but thought nothing Of its presence, be-
lieving IT was part Of the supplies he
was carrying to the south, and would
soon be removed to its proper place in
the ship.
When he saw 1t lying there the second
day his curiosity became aroused and
he examined it. Still he did not think
1t necessary to make any inquiry about
the box.
He became annoyed and suspicious on
the third day when he saw the box still
lying where it had no business to be,
and then asked the steward what II
was doing there.
Schiller said he had no idea OF the con-
tents of the box. He had believed it
was part of the cargo, which had been
placed on board by the captains orders,
and had not taken the pains to make
any inquiries about it.
Captain Brickley then began an in
vestigation. The box was carefully
turned over in the hope of finding some
indication of the contents. 1t had alb
solutely no lettering on the outside, and
the strength and finish Of it gave rise
TO more suspicious.
The commander Of the ship summoned
an expert officer and the box was taken
out of sight Of the crew and opened
with great care. II was found TO be
made Of 9M inch lumber, neatly grooved
and jointed. II was is inches wide, %
inches long and 9 inches deep.
Inside was found a similar box fitting
snugly This. too. was opened, and ther
1t was seen that the officers were deal
ing with an Internal machine.
In packages inside the smaller boz
was 80 pounds of dynamite and CUR
cotton. These deadly explosives were
connected by numerous wires with &
"clocllike mechanism" which was de.
signed to cause an explosion at GER
tain hour.
The box was weighted and dropped

the expert officer. The seal Of sec-ec!
was placed on the two subordirat 3. anC

Members Of our own society Of Psy-
chical Research" which, by the way,
has not been much in evidence OF late,
should be interested in the fate which
has befallen the French body with
identical aims. known as Ia Societe
des Sciences Psychiques." The latter
hes just been reduced to a state Of
hopeless disruption by the conduct OF
a section OF its adherents, who, pre-
sumaIbIy weary OF combining their psy-
chical researches TO the chasing Of
elusive "spoobs," have gone astray az
ter such lievlier branches Of occult
science as the preparation of tails
mans, the concocting OF love philtres
and the telling Of fortunes. The earn
est ghost hunters. disguised by this
descent to the methods of the common
or commercial charlatan, have resigned
in a body and formed a new society OF
their own. II is by no means certain
however. that those who remain have
not proved themselves wiser in their
generation than the seceders; for, while
ghosts are unmistakabiy "off" in thesl
days. the interest in other forms oi
mystical quackery seems to be as
strong and widespread as ever.-Lon'

wiped out by fire yesterday, 200 dwell
ngs. churches 20 stores, hotels and
several mills being destroyed. The fire
started I'm a business block through
lamp exploding and a high wind, and
the complete absence Of water supply or
fire fighting apparatus soon carried the
flames beyond control. With few ex-
,eptions the buildings were wooden. and
large section of the town was closely
built.
At this part the fire swept through
whole blocks with lightninglike rapidi-
". and people fled for their lives, losing
everything. The foreign shipping in
port was slightly damaged. The town
was little insured owing to the absence
of fire protection. The inhabitants are
now encamped in the fields and woods.
Several people are reported missing.
but it is impossible yet to tell who. If
any lost their lives. Relief is being
