VISITING CUBAN SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Chance to Give Them n Valuable
American object Lesson.

american oDJect LessOh.
To the Editor of The Evening Starr
The people of Massachusetts, with that
zeal for education which has always char
acterized the people of that commonwealth,
have arranged and perfected. through the
authorities of Harvard. summer course
for some 1900 school teachers of Cuba,
and these teachers will soon be brought
to our shores.
Never since the visit of Peter the Great
to England, during the reign of William
III has there been such momentouS po-
Iitico-economic event. The teachers
tactng with all that is best in American
education will absorb and carry back to
their native island some of those elements
which, combined, go to make up the edu-
Gated American. Thus equipped they will
become centers from which will radiate
diffusing powers which must be valuable
for the upbuildng of Cuban citizenship.
But under the scheme as formulated the
effect to be produced must be largely per-
sonal and mainly beneficial to the instructed
teachers and almost solely along pedagogic
lines While this will be of incalculab!e
benefit to the recipients and those to whom
they shall transfer the knowledge obtained,
still the visit of these pilgrims to our
shores should be made an occasion for the
inculcation of a lesson far more important
than that to be obtained at any seat OF
learning however well equipped.
Now comes the opportunity of inStilling
into the minds of these teachers what is
meant by the United States of America. in
their physical force moral grandeur and
mental power. To the Cuban of average
intelligence this country is but a vague
idea a mere force which has driven out the
Spanish power. What should be learned Is
this country as 1t is and all for which 1t
stands Were it feasible these teachers
should traverse the whole country, and
with their own eyes see it as its people
know it. But one thing Is feasible by which
they may obtain in a short space of time
adequate conception of our country.
The Cuban teachers should return homo
,,y way of Washington. Here. and here alone,
ill they gain, in a few days. some idea Of
that our country is and what liberty
'eans. Diation upon this would seem to
e superfiuous. 1t should be automatic.
And this is a matter in which the whole
cople of this country should be interested.
do not advocate the matter as pleas
nor even as means of instruc-
lion personal to themselves, though the
latter is of value But 1t is to be viewed
IN its Importance to the peoples of Cuba
and this country and their relation to each
other Obtaining in this city due and fit
impressions, the teachers will convey these
TO their people at home, and thus vivid
and correct views of this country will be
scattered through Cuba.
Believing sincerely in the value of visit
to Washington by these Cubans and that 1t
is a matter not of local. but OF national.
Importance, l sincerely hope that fed
eral authorities may see the way clear to
carry out the plan.

A Good Use for Excursion Tickets.
TO the Editor of The Evening Star:

In my travels among the business houses
I find the merchants liberal buyers of ex-
cursion tickets of the various relief and
beneficial associations. two-thirds of which
are never used. Would it not be a good
idea to turn these tickets over to poor
families, where the tired mother may take
her delicate child or children down the
river and get a Whit of the cool breezes?
suggest that the merchants hand them
to the ministers of their churches for dis
tribution among the deserving poor.

Peter cooper Me, the sp,rit..

During Peter Cooper's lifetime he
was a frequent visitor at the home OF
s. ]. Pardessus, on Pacific street,
Brooklyn.
At one time Mr.. Cooper became great
ly interested In the spirit manifesto
lions of the Fox sisters and was anx-
ious to investigate their rappings per-
sonally, but he did not like to attend
one of their public seances, for he fear
ed recognition and consequently a
great deal of talk. Finally 1t was ar
ranged that one of the sisters should
spend a night at Mr.. Pardessus' house
and the doughty Peter be invited to
meet her.
Miss Fox came, and the spirits came
too. The family retired early, Mr..
Cooper occupying bedroom on the OPP

Waiting 10 BE Eaten.


The wasp is not vegetarian. like the
bee, and so the wasp mother has be-
fore her the problem Of supporting her
young with meat. AS her eggs are laid
out in hot weather and as food enough
must be stored in the cell with the egg
to mature the young insects, the Ques-
ton Is how TO preserve the meat fresh
for SO long time.
After a tube Is finished except one
end, which Is left open, she flies on on
hunt for spiders. She finds a fat
healthy one, pounces upon 1t, stings 1t,
carries 1t off and places 1t In the mud
cell She repeats this process until
she has placed as many spiders In the
tube as. according to her Judgment
will be needed. She then lays an egg
In the cell and walls up the opening.
Whether 1t Is the result of subtle
poison or whether 1t is a special spot
In the spiders nervous system where
the sting is inserted we do not know,
but certain 1t is that after being thus
stung the spider lives on In paralyzed
condition for weeks and even months.
1t can move only slightly and remains
helpless In Its mud sepulcher until the
wasp egg matches into a yoracious
grub, which at once falls to and eats
with great relish the meat thus miracu-
lousy preserved.
Whether the spider can feel pain In
this paralyzed state Is not known. but
1t certainly retains Its sight and SO
watches the wasp grub growing. and
a spiders natural fear Of a wasp would
cause ample suffering to atone for Its
own onslaught on flies.

FACTS AROUT SARDlNES.
The Greatcs Part of This Country's
Consumption Now Packed Here.

.
Formerly the sardines consumed in
this country were all imported from
France. Now about three-quarters of
the sardlnes eaten in the United States
are put up here, the chief center of
the sardine industry In the United
States being the eastern coast OF
Maine, though some sardines are now
put up on the coast of California. The
packing of sardines In this country
was begun about 1886.
Thousands of people now find en-
ployment In one part and another of
the work In catching fish. in making
cans and In canning and packing and
marketing and SO on.
Sardines are put up in greater va
fiety than formely. there being now
adays sardines packed In tomato
sauce. sardines In mustard. spiced sar-
dimes and so on, but the great bulk of
sardines. both imported and domestic,
are still put up In oil. Sardines are
put up also In greater variety of
packages than formerly. there being,
for example. various sizes and shapes
dimes are imported In glass. but as the
great bulk of all sardines are still put
up In oil. so the great bulk of them are
still put up In the familiar fiat boxes.
the great majority of these being of
the sizes known as halves and quar-
tiers and far the greater number of
these being In quarters. Sardines are
packed 100 tins In case. and the con-
sumption of sardines In this country
is roughly estimated at from 100000
to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods of every descrip-
ton. sardines are cheaper now than
they formerly were, and American sar-
dimes are sold for less than the import
ed. American sardlnes are now ex-
ported from this country to the West
Indies and to South America.-New

that In the cheaper grades the shell Is

lighter the chocolate the better the
