We Need Macaroni' Factories.

After successful endeavor to intro
duce macaroni wheat into this country
the Department of Agriculture is con-
fronted with the discouraging sequel
that there is no factory at which to
market the product. Macaroni, it
should be explained, requires certain
species of hard wheat for its manufac-
ture. Efforts have been made to use
the ordinary American wheat for this
purpose, but they have not been en-
tirely successful, and at present nearly
all the macaroni used is imported. The
department sent abroad and secured
from Algiers and Russia the particular
kind of wheat used in the italian and
French macaroni mills, and has sue
ceeded in making it grow in several
parts of the West. Now the authorities
say there is an opening for some bright
young macaroni maker and an accom-
modating capitalist.

Diamonds in Meteorites.

The largest iron meteorites come from
the Canyon Diablo, in Arizona, and
were discovered about ten years ago.
Of this famous ''falp' Professor Ward,
the natural history collector, has seven
large specimens and twenty or more
smaller ones. The surface of the larger
ones is covered with 1ndentations or
pits scooped out by the air through
which they fell, as if by chisel. Some
times holes were thus bored entirely
through these openings, that the speci-
mems might be suspended for more
effective display. The Canyon Diablo
meteorites are remarkable in being one
of the two kinds that contain diamonds.
The diamonds are black and micro
scopic, and have no commercial value.

3. The Smallest Postoffice.

The smallest, simplest and best pro-
tected postoffice in the world is in the
Straits of Magellan, and has been there
for many years. 1t consists of small
painted keg or cask and is chained to
the rocks of the extreme cape in a man.
ner so that it floats free opposite TERRA
del Fuego. Each passing ship sends a
boat to take letters out and put others
in. This curious postoffice is unpro-
vided with a postmaster, and is, there
fore, under the protection of all the
navies of the world. Never in the his
tory of the unique 'office" have its
privileges been abused.

BRIEF REVIEW.
Coal Mines in Ocean Depths.

Coal mining is being carried on this
summer in the waters of Long Island
sound. Scattered all along the shores
of Long Island and Connecticut be-
tween New York and Montauk Point
are the wrecks of coal barges and coal
schooners that have been abandoned
by their owners and by the insurance
companies that had insured the car
goes. During the past winter one of
the submarine boats that has been ex-
perimented with in the sound has 10
Gated a lot of the wrecks of coal barges
while the work of testing the value of
the boat was in progress. The wrecks
were buoyed, and where there was
proof that the owners of the cargoes
had abandoned them the wrecks were
charted. Since then number of VEN
turesome capitalists have organized a
company that will soon get to work
hauling the coal from these wrecks
and sendingit to markets where it may
be disposed of.

An Educational Mistake.

Whether or not a college education Is
advantageous depends entirely upon
the ability of the recipient to absorb
and utilize such an education. In
fortunately such view of the case is
seldom considered by parents and
guardians who are inclined to send
their children to college simply be-
cause it is considered the proper thing
to do. Consequently we find through
out the country thousands of young
men who have passed through college
acting as cheap clerks, bookkeepers or
even as car conductors and restaurant
walters. Having learned no mechan.
zeal trade for which they may be adapt.
ed and being untitled by nature for a
profession, they go through life discon
tented with their lot and vaguely be
lieving that the world owes them bet
ter treatment because they have gons
through college.-Los Angeles Times.
