DIET AND STRENGTH.
Capacity for Physical Labor of Rice
Fed People.

Capacity for Physical Labor of Rice
Fed People.
From the Honolulu Advertiser.
The stevedores and 'longshoremen who
struck awhile ago and were supplanted by
Japanese have raised an interesting ques-
tion Of racial capacity to do hard work.
AS will be seen In our waterfront columns,
these men claim that Japanese must fail
as stevedores because their food does not
give them staying power. The oriental,
they claim. relies on a pail Of rice and a
chunk of fish and cannot, therefore stand
as much work as the white man, who eats
beef and potatoes and other staples of eau
casian diet.
The argument Is not one that will impress
plantation managers who daily, monthly
and yearly see the rice-fed Japanese coolie
doing work which the white man, in his
selected tasks, does not exceed in rough
aggregate of toll. Shall we say, does not
equal? No one needs to know the orientals
very long without getting over the idea
that meat diet is essential to the conser-
walton OF human strength In manual labor
and the repair of waste. q Chinese and Jap
anese coolies work hArderftat home than do
American or Europ AM field laborers. Chi
nese and Japanese soldiers endure the ia
tgue OF marching and fighting better than
90 American or European troops, a fact
Wnlch mas been attestcd" In two wars. In
Japan TWO rfce-fed cookies, drawing a rick
shaw loaded with 20o-pound tourist, have
been known to trot thirty miles. only rest
ing once on the way Tremendous burdens
are carried on the backs OF Asiatics hour
In and hour out. Furthermore the most
enduring monuments of human energy on
earth, the Egyptian pyramids and obelisks,
were built by men who ate millet and rice.
The armies Of Genghis Khan were fed on
rice and tea; the Moors made made their
campaigns on dates. People whose prin-
cipal food comes from the sea are among
the hardest on earth. ~

The French Dream of America.
from the Chautauouan

The American of today measures the
westward march Of the people across the
continent by remembering that almost $50
years elapsed between the settlement Of
jamestown, Va, on the coast. and that CT
Marietta, Ohio, west Of the mountains and
north of the river. Few realize that the
French had set up a well-ordered govern
ment in the heart of the continent nearly
100 years before the founding of Marietta !;
that the lilies of France waved triumphant
ly from Quebec to New Orleans and from
the Alleghanies to the Rockies. while the
English colonies formed but thin fringe
along the Atlantic coast, penetrating the
interior at no place more than $50 miles
There We're French forts along the Mis-
sissippi tributaries before Georgia, the last
of the thirteen English colonies, was plant
ed. French commanders exercised their
troops in the middle west before Washing
ton was born Barrior was keeping his
record of gifts at kaskaskia when John
Adams was only two years old. Trade and
We're as vigorous 1000 miles inland as on
the coast.
If the French dream in America had been
realized the heart of the continent might
today be controlled from France in the
old feudal way, by which power was con-
centrated in the officers, while the COM
mon people remained purely subjects. It
is unlikely that tithe of the glorious ca
reer of America would have been realized
How many French colonies have become
free republics? If the French cream Lad
been realized-but to the last 1t was cnly a
dream.

ENGLAND'S NEW SHIPS.
Fast and Strong Craft Added to Grea
Britain's Navy.

Fast and Strong Craft Added to Great
Britain's Navy.
From the London Express, August 81
Next Thursday the cruiser Essex is due
to leave the stocks at Pembroke royal
dockyard, and on her doing so the fine
British navy will have been supplemented
by no fewer than a dozen battle ships and
first-class cruisers during this year alone.
Pessimistic and optimistic views will al
ways prevail as to the efficiency and the
sufficiency of the British navy, but there is
no denying that we hold the palm for the
smart turning of ships out of hand, and
the fact that our big fleet has been in
creased by twelve handsome ships and
score, or probably even more, of small
gunboats such as the Teak and Fantome
and the like. and torpedo boat craft, in the
course of eight months is something like a
record of which Britishers may we'll be
proud.
The table given below showing the bat
tie ships and frst-ciass cruisers launched
this year dncluding the cruiser Essex, is
interesting from many points of view and
more particularly as it shows that of the
larger class ships alone our already enor-
nous fleet has been supplemented by
157 $50 tons displacement, with total in
dicated horse power of 266, 900. Here is the

Small Mounts for Cavalry.

From the London Globe.
The present war has brought conspic-
uously before our eyes the great advan-
tages for many kinds of work possessed
by small and light horses compared with
the stamp of animal which has become the
traditional standard for the supply of our
cavalry at home, and although 1t would
probably be unWise in this respect as in
many others to allow the particular fea-
lures Of the present campaign to weigh
too strongly in our estimation. 1t seems
fairly clear that we have not ready to our
hand even for our needs on more re-
stricted computation an adequate supply
Of small, tough mounts capable of Tending
for themselves upon a campaign to a far
greater extent than is possible for the pres
ent cavalry horse, an artificial product by
comparison with the delicacy which In such
products is inherent. 1t is instructive In this
connection to note that, as Sir Waiter Gil
hey points out in recently published vol
ume the three famous SireS from which all
our thoroughbred horses are sprung were
under fourteen hands high. 1t seems pos
siDle that the greatly increasing demand
for polo ponies may work in the future
with mutual advantage by the side of this
military need, for after the very pick OF the
small horses were sold at highly remu-
nerative price for polo the others, still
sound and useful animals, would serve as
light mounts for the army or reserve forces.
tust as breeders OF hunters dispose of their
superf1uous stock for present army needs.

German With an Irish BrOgue.
-om the Outlook

OF late years many German boys go to
Ireland to learn the language, and acquire
at the same time the Irish middle class
opinion of England, which they cherish
and propagate on their return to their ma
tive land. Perhaps that Is one of the
sources of German dislike for the English
man. Another thing that the German boy
acquires in Ireland is rich and varied
brogue. and one Of the most amusing
things one hears in Germany is the waiter

A Call for an Inventor.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
The suffering caused by the unprecedent-
ed heat of July has prompted the query
ing processes in such common and general
use in refrigerator plants and storage
warehouses may not profitably be extended
to residences, stores, factories, railway
coaches, and other places where people are
compelled to sweter through the torrid
weather with no alleviation of their misery.
The query is practical and calls for an
answer. If the precise methods followed In
freezing meat and preserving fruits could
not be adapted to homes, hotels, factories
and hospitals, surely the inventive genius
and resourceful faculties of the American
people are equal to the task of devising
other methods by which the same cooling
reducing the sum of human discomfort in
our cities and towns. 1t Is quite conceiv-
able that with the facilities and the knowl-
edge we now possess of processes for lower
ing temperature, a system could be devised
combining the elements of cheapneSs and
availability in such a degree that life might
be rendered much more tolerable during the
heated term for all classes of people in all
places, indoors and out. Something of the
kind should at least be introduced in the
hospitals, where it would help very greatly
in mitigating suffering and In reducing the
mortality rates. There is an opportunity in
this direction, and in the others suggested,
for some wide-awake Individual to confer
great boon on mankind and incidentally,
to enrich himself And he cannot go about
the business too quickly.

SUFFOCATED BY GAS.
Thomas Z. PeddicOrd Found Dead in
is His Bed.

Thomas E. Peddicord was found dead in
bed yesterday morning at the home of W.
c. Wilkinson, 81 New Jersey avenue
southeast having gone to bed Saturday
night and left the gas turned on at full
head. Coroner hewitt made an investiga-
ton, and reached the conclusion that the
affair was an accident. 1t is believed that
Peddicord blew out the gas.
Peddcord was thirty-seven years old.
and lived at Gaithersburg, Montgomery
county, Md. He was an architect and
builder, and had recently returned from
Newport News, where he had been ensa ged
in business. His wife and three children
are at present stopping at the home of her
father Thomas Briggs, a farmer, near
Gaithersburg. Several days ago Peddicord
came here to look for business opening
and Saturday night he attended one of the
theaters, where he met Mr. Wilkinson.
When the performance was concluded Mr..
Peddicord went home with Mr.. Wilkinson
whose wife and two near relatives were
also members of the party. On account of
the bad weather Peddicord was induced to
remain over night at the home of the Will
kinsons, and yesterday morning about IL
o'clock his dead body was found.
Relatives were notified of his death. His
body will be buried at Gaithersburg.
