AS a defensive weapon the value of
the machete is small Even its offensive
effect depends less ON the weapon itself
than on the continual and skillful
usage made of it by the Cuban peasant
from his earlier age, which imparts a
peculiar training to the muscles of the
wrist ami, arm of the operator The
consequence of ssSis skill is that when
ever a quarrel bccurs between two
.'guajiros' or 1tnonetros' they settle
the matter withTfheir machetes as cour-
ageously and tenaciously as two game
cocks. and generally both parties are
seriously injured for life or are killed
on the spot
Owing to this { act and to the natu-
raj kindly disposition of the Cuban
peasants. they are not quarrelsome
people and respect everybody. to be
equally respected With the machete a
few curious accessories are used. The
principal are thin strip of leather
closely tied to the right wrist. small
round piece of grinding stone to sharpen
the edge of the tool. and whenever the
machete is employed to cut down the
thorny heath of tropical vegetation
small branch of special shape. called
the ..garabato. is used to hold the
heath and do rapid work without be-
ing injured by thcrns Island of Cuba

DAWN.
Over The chilly sea

Over the chilly sea
The dawn comes shiveringly,
Pearl white the night dreams clinging to hel
eyes.
Forlorn alone she waits
BY the aorlds open gates,
A timid stranger under alien skies.
= little while, and loi
Her robe of pallid snow
Kindles to silver shot with orange streaks
As the still skies unfold
Swift change from gray to gold
How the rose red Pushes her virgin cheeksl
She hears from tiny Threats
Melodious greeting notes
The waters brighten foaming round her feet
Ger many drowsy mile
Earth wakens with smile
And dawn's heart leaps her loveliness t.
greet
Dawn goes to day, TO eve,
That lingeringly takes leave,
Brought in the suns care Ger the shining
dome;
Then in the nights recess
She drinks forgetfulness,
In dreams knows not the days desired home.
So when she comes again
Across the glooming main
Ever thus sad and strange is that new birth,
Ever unknown and new
The joy that thrills her through,
Kindled at sight of the awakening earth.
Ever man 8 aged eyes
Greet with new sweet surprise
The lily of heaven, child of all days deceased
And mans heart. old so long.
Uplifts the primal song,
Smitten like Memnon from the sacred east.

Filters for purifying water are of
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture but. according to the report of the
Maryland state board of health. it
would appear that such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come first class culture beds for bacteria.
In evidence Of this position an example
cited is that of man in Baltimore who
sends the whole water supply of his
house through large filter and subse-
quently pnt his drinking water through
one of the small domestic filters COM
mon in the market
A test of this arrangement showed
that on day when the city taps were
running $40 bacteria to the cubic CEN
timeter the large filter was delivering
some Q. 300 bacteria in the same water
When the large filter was repacked.
only bacteria per centimeter got
through it. though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came out with II bacteria per cent?

This aspect of the matter is still fur
Their strengthened by another example.
a case where a filter supposed to be the
best in the market was in use. The
effectiveness of this filter was so short
lived that the precaution was observed
of boiling the water after il was filtered.

In considering the problem of heat
ing the large department stores which
are now to be found in nearly every
big city it is very well worth taking
into account the animal heat distributed
by the many customers who come into
such establishments That this is con-
siderable is evidenced by the experience
of at least one engineer, who in one
such case. found that after $50 a m.
on day in midwinter. with the Their
mometer at the freezing point. no other
heat was needed to keep the place
warm This fact. however emphasizes
as well the great need Of good system
of ventilation in such buildings. al
without it the air would soon become

permissible degree Casters Maya

nuts are grown on bushes or shrubs,
which are arranged in groups that are
from Is to 25 feet apart SO as to insure

They thrive best in a deep. clayey soil,
and the planting takes place during
November and December of slips from
the mother plant. Seeds could be used
but the growth would be too slow to be
profitable. AS it is, the shrubs do not
bear fruit until the third year, any
blossoms appearing before that time be-
ing removed. so that the plant shall
not be impoverished. The plants are
periodically pruned. when any slips
which have failed to sprout are removed
and replaced by others; so that there
are plantations which remain in full

Egyptian DANCING In Egypt.


The genuine native dancing girls per
form in the little cafes that abound in
the Arabian quarter. These places are
usually small and about 80 men squat
ted around the seats that line the walls
make full house.
Here the Arabs come to smoke and
drink coffee and hear the music, while
in the center of the cafe the dancing
girls perform. The places are filed with
the smoke of the nargile and ciga-
rettes. and the dreamy natives who
lounge along the walls puff everlasting
ly on, barely noticing the girls who are
weaving and swaying in the sinuous
undulations of the dance to the time of
a groggy tomtom and the mellow drone
of reed whistle. The dance is about
the same as the one seen at the World S
fair in Chicago, Invested of most of its
offensive trimmings. There it was de-
signed to startle and shock and come up
to western notions Of oriental depravity,
