STORY OF MOCHA COFFEE
It Was the Sheik Schoede1i Who Pop
,ularized the Drink.

It Was the Sheik SchOede1i Who Pop
ularized the Drink.
Mocha is not alone the name of a
kind of coffee, but also of a port in the
district of Yemen, on the Red Sea. The
patron saint of both was Sheik Schoe-
dell, whose memory is venerated by
the Mohammedans almost as much as
that of Mohamet himself, says writer
in the Los Angeles Times.
One day 500 years ago a vessel from
the Indies cast anchor in the port.
Those on board had noticed a hut, and
they disembarked to see what it was.
The sheik (for it was his dwelling) re-
ceived the strangers kindly and gave
them some coffee to drink, for he was
very fond of it and attributed great
virtue to it. The travellers, who had
never seen coffee before, thought that
this hot drink would be cure for the
plague Sehoedli assured them that
through prayers and the use of his
drink not only would the plague be
stopped, but also that if they would
unload their merchandise they could
make a good profit by it. The owner
Of the ship was impressed by this
strange man, especially as he found the
coffee so palatable. On the same day
a large number of Arabs came to listen
to the hermit's preaching, and among
them were some merchants, who pur-
chased all the goods on the ship. The
Indian visitor returned home, and, tell
ing his strange adventure and profit
able trading, many of his compatriots
came to visit the sanity Schoedeli.
A beautiful mosque was built over
the tomb of Schoedeli after his death,
and his name will never be forgotten
as long as Mocha coffee is drunk. All
of the Moslem coffee-housekeepers
venerate him, mentioning his name in
their morning devotions. Travellers
say that in the town of Mocha, or Ocha,
as the Arabs call it, men take their
oath not by God, but by the memory
of Schoedeli.

The finding of the lifeless body of John

appearance twenty-four hours earlier. 1t

Mr. Kubat went to the pasture to make

and killed in a desperate encounter. mat
Mr.. Kubat struggled heroically for his life
is evidenced by the fact that the ground
around a tree near which the body was
found is torn in a complete circle by the
hoofs of the Infatuated bull, while close
to the tree is a wellworn path made by
the old gentleman in his efforts to escape.

HIS SHE'LL a SUCCESS.
Gathmann's Gun Cotton PrOjectile
Tested at Sandy Hook.


Tested at Sandy Hook.
Louis Gathmann, the Chicago inventor,
achieved a remarkable triumph at Sandy
Hook. A big cannon loaded with gun
cotton SHE'LL to which was attached one. of
his special fuses, was fired. The gun was
blown to pieces, but the shell remained in
tact, showing that through the device of
Mr.. Gathmann, gun cotton shells can be
safely used in war as engines Of destruc-
ton. The experiment further demon
strated that gun cotton will not detonate
when discharged by means of high pres
sure.
It was believed the cruiser Vesuvius had
made new era in naval warfare when
gun cotton shells were discharged by pneu-
matte pressure. In the Sandy Hook ex-
pertinent the gun was purposely exploded
in order to demonstrate that gun cotton
could be used with the minimum of dan
ger. The element of safety was introduc-
ed by the Gathmann fuse.
