the first steamer ever built in Chi

other vessels exactly like her are now

70 CAN TREE ANTS.
Insects Found In the Woods Of the
NOrthwest May lie Put Up as
Condiment.

Some enterprising dealer in canned
goods could make small fortune"
said visiting lumberman, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"by going into the northwest and
putting up tree ants as a condiment.
No, Pm not joking" he continued,
"and what's more, the product would
need no introduction to the people
of that region. All through the lum-
ber districts of Minnesota and Wis
consin ants are regarded as q great
delicacy, and the only trouble is that
they can't get enough of them.
don't know why it is, but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire n strong craving for some
thing sour, and the big, brawny
choppers and teamsters found out
long ago that ants were n palatablc
substitute for pickles. They use only
a peculiar variety, large and red in
color and found in immense quanti-
ties under the bark of dead trees.
1t is not very hard to collect a quart
pail full. and after killing them by
scalding they are spread on n board
and dried in the sun. When ready to
eat they look like coarse, brown pow
der and have a very agreeable, aro-
matte smell.
"Of course, it is impossible to de-
scribe exactly how they taste. but
the general favor would remind you
OF some fine fruit vinegar. and If you
have any squeamishness over the ma
ture OF the dish il doesn't take you
long to forget it. can't see. how
ever. why there should be any objec-
tfon to dried ants as table delicacy,
They are perfectly clean and certain
" as attractive as snails or shrimps"

NEW RAYS DISCOVERED.
Render Almost Every TraHsparsat
Substance Luminous In
DarkAcss.

Consul General Richard Guenther, OF
Frankfort, transmits some interesting
information concerning the --latest
rays. In 1898, he says, quoting from a
German technical paper, French
chemist discovered rays emanating
from the element uranium which pos
sessed properties similar to the
Roentgen rays. They were called Bee
querel rays. after their discoverer.
But while the discovery of Rocntgen
aroused great interest in the whole
civilized world. leading to radical
changes in medical diagnosis, the Bee
querel rays were only employed in a
very limited way in physical >labora-
tories. and ar, an,assertion by the French
scientist Demarcays that they were
not emitted from uranium, but from
new element. made no impression.
Recent experiments by the Berlin
high school OF technology have proved
this assertion--that new element is
responsible for the Becquerel rays
and the interesting fact has been OBJ
served that these rays render almost
every transparent substance luminous
in the darkness.
These rays make it possible to tell
genuine diamonds from artificial ones
IN the dark. This will prove of great
practical Importance in testing. The
experiments have also resulted in OBJ
taining. for the first time, larger guam
titles of the new element. which has
demonstrated that rays emanutinp
from u larger quantity make the air
such conductor of electricity that il
is hoped this property can be utilized
In wireless tclegraphy. Experiments
Tor this purpose are being made in the
Berlin institution, but the deepest Sc.
recy is maintained concerning them.
1t Is stated that the results will soon
be laid before the emperor, which
seems to indicate tina: the discovery is
regarded as one of great Importance.

that the japanese is one of the best

for wonder, because it is not the out

the western methods were sown on a

Washington, D. c., Aug. 3O.-Secre-
tary Hitchcock will recommend to con
gress in his annual report that the
laws relating to the disposition of
public lands be materially changed.
The idea OF the secretary is TO require
a residence on the public land of five
years, regardless Of previous service
in the army or navy, before the set
tier can make final proof and secure a
patent to his land The object Of this
Is to prevent individuals who have no
expectation of residing upon home
steads longer than is necessary TO
perfect their title to the property and
dispose Of their claims from making
homestead entries.
If the settler is compelled by law
TO reside upon his claim for FIVE years
he win fealize in advance that he
must remain uron and cultivate the
land for that period. Under the pres
ent law the settler can make final
proof In fourteen months after settle
ment Many people. realizing that
they viii only be compelled TO remain
a short time upon the duaitca cection
taken under the homestead laws, set
tie on the land with the object of
disptl az of It as soon as they can
perfec their title BY extending the
time TO five years instead of four
teen months, as at present, an ele
ment OF speculation would be remov
ed which would inure to the benefit
OF the honest homeseeeker who is
