Ms. Ru.se,r.. Train.

All along the Rockaway Beach di-
vision of the Long Island railroad
there are misty legends of the Cold
en- Diva Train that scoots along in
the midnight darkness like a fierce
jack O. lantern. 1t consists of an en-
CINE and two cars, and makes the run
to far Rockaway in twenty-five min
utes. One of the natives said to me
on Saturday afternoon: "P11 tell you,
Mr.. Tip, 1t is sight these black
nights. Lillian pays $50 a night for
her train, and gives the conductor
and brakeman SIS apiece for every run
That makes $50 trip She dashes
out of the theater as soon as her part
Is over, rides in a cab to the ferry
and In ten minutes more is in her
private car, flying along Newtown
Creek. But what's that to her-$60

ing 81 500 week." I did not feel in
clined to make any corrections.-New

Rev DR.. Peter Moe-dyke, who is
prominently mentioned as the possible
new American minister to the Neither
lands, is the pastor of Trinity Dutch
Reformed Church, Chicago. When
Gov. Roosevelt was-in Chicago he
heard DIR. Moerdyke preach and was
much impressed with his eloquence
and learning. The Dutch clergyman
is native of Zuland, in the Neither
lands, and came to this country at the
age of 4. He was educated at the Hol-
land Academy and was graduated
there in 1866 After passing through
the Seminary at Holland, Mich, he
was called to churches in that state,

People who laughed at the prospect
of the United States supplying Scot
land with shipbuilding material have
changed their views. The steamboat
Chatfield has landed part of it's freight
at Belfast, and coming on to the Clyde
has discharged 1000 tons of steel crop,
ninety tons of angles and rs, fourteen
tons of steel flats, 527 tons of steel
rounds and forty tons of steel angles.

but it represents just the sort of be-

An Ideal
Abiding Place

Ruatan, the largest of the five bay
islands," little chain or key lying
some 80 miles off the coast of Spanish
Honduras, southeast of Port Cortez,
and only four days travel from New
Orleans-is some 40 miles long and 8
miles wide. 1t has population Of
about 5000 people, mostly Carib In
dams, and doubt whether there is
in all the world a more beautiful and
prolific spot. The people are lazy
simply because they don't have to
work. Cocoanuts form their main
stay, and there is nothing easier to
grow.
To start grove one merely burns
off piece of land, and plants the nuts
in rows 20 feet apart. In from four
to five years time the trees are dozen
feet high, and are beginning to bear,
and after that the planter is fixed for
life. He may bid adieu to care. The
nuts are never picked, but as they ma
turc they drop off, and this shower of
fruit goes on steadily month after
month all the year around. How long
tree will bear nobody can say, but
there are some on the island that are
known to be over half century old,
and are still dropping their harvest of
nuts.
When the native needs something at
the store all he has to do is to gather
together some nuts and trade them for
what he wishes. He hulls them by

striking them on a stake driven into
the ground, and man can easily hull
5000 day in that manner.
Other fruits grow just as easily as
the cocoanut, and the only reason why
that especially is grown is because
it furnishes an easy crop, for which
there is always ready market. There
are plenty Of bananas, oranges, man
goes, plums and pineapples, and they
are all delicious. They grow wild,
without the slightest cultivation, and
all one has to do is to pick them.
Vegetables are equally prolific, and the
native vans easily average 40 or so
pounds in weight. A piece of cane

renews itself perennially for years.

INSPECTION BY TAPPING.
Quality of Meat in Cans Passed Upon by

SOUND
Among the most incomprehensible
proceedings to be observed within the
vast area of Woolwich Reserve Depot
are the doings of small party of Off
Gals, one of whom appears to do moth
ing all day long but sit at table and
tap on the top of tin canisters with a
couple of bits Of sticks something after
the manner of child beating on the
upturned end of his drum. The tins
are passed before him about as fast
as he can tap them, and absolutely
nothing seems to come of the game To
the unenlightened onlooker it is quite
unintelligible. The tins contain meat,
and before they are passed into the
store it is, of course, important to ex-
anime the condition of what is in
closed, and this. in fact, is the way it
is done. The trained ear of the expert
examiner can tell whether the meat is
in wholesome or putrid condition
by the sound emitted when raped
with the stick, just as the exam
liner of railway carriage wheels is
supposed to be able to tell whether
the wheel he taps with his ham
mer is cracked or not. The rapid
ity with which the business is
gone through and the seeming mat
tention of the performer with the sticks
and his total Indifference to all sorts
of noises about him, render the proce-
dure very curious one to watch. The
test is said to be practically infallible
