An American capitalist who has

oil of Tobacco.

Some interesting Investigations have
Just been published by the analysts OF
the government laboratory with respect
to what Is known as the "oil Of tobaC-
CO."
In making up raw tobacco leaf into
the article with which we fill our pipes
manufacturers use olive oil, and AT one
time they made n use of ii which, like
Sam WeAer's knowledge of London,
was extensive and peculiar. In order to
protect the smoker a paternal legisla-
turc has enacted that not more than
per cent Of olive oil shall be used by
manufacturers for making up or tla-
yoring." and the businesSlikc manufac-
turcr has sometimes complained that
this per cent is not q sufficient allow
nnce. because the tobacco leaf itself
supplies an oil which might be mistak-
en- for the manufacturing product
The government analysts have, there
fore, experimental with forty-siX to-
baccOS, and they find that the essential
oil Of tobacco usually exists only in the
smallest of quantities, sometimes not
more than % per cent The oil is
paratIin, technically a paratfin hydro

Man Who Named America

Few Americans are aware OF the fact
that the name Of their continent Is due
to German scholar In 1901 Martin
Waldseemuller. also known as Hyla-
Comylus, of 81. Die, IN the Vosges,
edited Il book called "Cosmographiss
lntroductio," in which he gave a trans
lation Of AmerigO Nespuccrs descrip-
ton Of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
gos fame filled the world, while Coum.
bus disgrace overshadOwed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village In the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpcted forth his own
glory. SO Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not 4 part OF the Indies, no name would
suit II better than that Of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discOvcrer
was known. the name was already
rooted too deeply In general use 10
be abolished, and was even extended
to the north part Of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant It for
the present South America ca.-National

Undi&ested Food.

The recurrence Of the flavor OF food
for some time after eating is always
an indication. writes a physician In n
medical journal, that the food Is not
being properly digested. Il can taste
It," we say after eating canned fruits
and vegetables preserved by adding
salicylic acid or formaldehyde, sub
stances that embalm food against the
digestive juices as completely as they
protect II from the microbes Of the
outer air And II can taste tt would
probably be the report of one who had
made a hearty meal on a turkey kept
several months In cold storage. "A
man trying to live on such meat would
simply starve to death or die OF blood
poisoning" adds the physician.
He does not fail TO remind us that
the storage warehouse IS generally a
convenience and n benefit and only
when misused n source Of danger. But
neither he nor any one else could lind
a good word 10 say for manufacturers
who put slow poison into a food prod
uct. The fitting punishment for them
would be 10 give them nothing to eat
but their own canned stuff.

Robin. PIny at Being Dead

One morning a we'll known naturalist
was greatly surprised to see a robin
lying on his back evidently dead, being
rapidly pulled round and round by an
other bird of the same species.
The naturalist ut once came to the
conclusion that he had come in time
TO witness the end Of a deadly en-
counter, and that the live robin was
Indulging in the cruel triumph of drag
ging his victims lifeless body over the
stones.
But he was mistaken, for suddenly
the live bird went down upon his back
his wings and legs We're stiffened, and
he gave every appearance of being
dead, while the other robin who had
been shammirG death hoped on his
legs and proceeded to serve his com
pauion in the same way as he had
done him. Finally the two birds flew
away together to a neighboring tree.

The nIrd That File. Lonse.t.

Mr.. j. Lancaster, naturalist, who
pent five years on the west coast Of
Florida studying birds there, came to
the conclusion that of all the feathered
tenants Of the air the frigate bird can
ly the longest without resting. He has
seen one flying for a whole week night
md day without repose.
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma
terials for it's nest and even sleep on
he wing. Apparently its wings can
be controlled automatically, without
the power Of its will. and it probably
adapts itself to take advantage OF the
upward or bearing force Of the wind.
The spread of the frigate birds wing
Is great, and 1t can fly at speed OF
ninety-six miles an hour. without seem
ing to flap It's wings much.
The albatross-that king of the high
seas" as 1t has been called-is larger
than the frigate bird, but II II follows
