pulling at the weakened growth, with the result very often that the original tone and productivity is entirely re- stored to the scalp.
 "No, there is no unguent for the scalp superior to cocoanut oil, and as . proof of it's eficacy I should like you to see the native mem of the Island of Ceylon. Few men in that spicy isle but boast suits of hair that would set an American girl daft with envy. Their great names fall often clear to their feet, the quality of the hair is curly and silken, and the color is a pure black. Even the guides. who take you about sightseeing feel the tenderest pride and pleasure in their magnificent tresses, which all day they wear twisted in a mighty coil at the back of the head. with never a hairpin to hold the heavy loops in place. By twist of the wrist the end of the long hair is tucked in to support the rest, and on inquiry I find that the daily toilet of the humblest Cingalese begins with shampoo. No soap or comb is used, but in a tub of clean water the hair is dipped, wrung out, strengthened with the fingers, and rubbed and shaken until quite dry, and then teaspoonful of perfectly fresh cocoa nut oil is rubbed in and through it all.
 "If every American woman coul1 af- ford to bathe her head seven times a week. use absolutely fresh oil and ab- jure hats and hairpins, the effect would be nothing short of marvellous. because it is for want of moisture, fresh air and freedom that our wom- en are in imminent danger of losing permanently their natural crowns of curls and braids and shining band of beautiful hair

RACING A SIDE ISSUE.
Oealsy Has Become one of Raglan A's 0est vashionabls 1s0ss-
 beat RssoRts.

Time was, and not 90 many years ago. either, when Henley was a small river gatherings regatta in name and also in fact, and the very reverse of society function. Nowadays Hen- ley is kind of rehearsal for Good wood, with little water, a little rac- ing, and no betting. The banks al- most from the Red Lion to Temple is- land, are lined with house boats. The lawns from Fawley court to Green lands seem to have emptied tNeir gar den party frocks on the river, says the London Daily News.
 Curious crafts abound. A gondola from Hardwick looms black among the white fiannels. A New Zealand dugout, with great mustard spoon paddles. forces its way by sheer dint of weight. A Canadian whaleboat gets clumsily through the crowd and col lides with a sampan from Bourne End.
 Houseboat life is, of course, the grandest way in which to do Henley. It is important, imposing and expen- sive. Members of the stock exchange revel in houseboata, many of which are fitted up with an extravagance of decoration that rivals the butter fly in gorgeous hues. It must be ad- mitted that it is becoming more and more the fashion to ignore the rae ing at Henley. It has become quite . mere "side issue."
 The cost of running houseboat va ries according to size and position on the course. You may have to pay anything from ESQ to f2OO for the bare rent for . week. What with food. servants. hire of boats. decora- tions. music and that elastic term sum- dries. the expense of entertaining your friends on houseboat for the three Henley days may be anything from . hundred to thousand pounds.

COMPRESSED AIR IN BROOKLYN
The Rapid Transit Company TO Try
That Method in the Future.

BROOKLYN, \. Y, June lG.-It may be
that in the near future compressed air
will be used. in part at least, By the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company as
means of propulsion for its cars. The
announcement was made yesterday that
the company is to give an air motor
test on it's elevated structure, with a
view to determining its availability as
substitute for electricity and steam.

been shipped from the factory in Rome

within ten days None Of the officials of
the Rapid Transit Company could be
found last night to give any information
on the subject but the fact that the
compressed air motor was TO have a
test was stated by an empIoye.
Since the electric machinery of the
Kent Avenue power station was damaged
a few weeks ago there has been an in
sufficient supply of electricity for the
cars. and in consequence the company
has been obliged to return to the use Of
steam locomotives for the propulsion OF
the elevated trains which run to Brighton
Reach. The project of having all the
elevated lines equipped with electricity
nv Julv ] has also been knocked in the
head. IL will be nearly a year before
the new power house designed by the
company can be ready for use. and in
the meantime the compressed air motor
may have proved its efficiency.

TO COUNT THE FILIPIN0S.
Problems which Our Colonies Pre-
sent to the Census BureRu.

As soon as quiet is restored in the Phii-
ippine Islands It is proposed to take a
census of their population. Information
of this sort is badly needed, the spanish
censuses having been little more than
compilation of local estimates. 1t IS es-
pecialiy important. moreover. to take an
account OF stock near the beginning OF
our authority. just as was done in Porto
Rico and Cuba, as basis for future
comparisons With this end in view, the
Census Office sent out a supervisor
year ago to look the ground over. He
devoted himself principally to getting an
enumeration OF the American civilians
and soldiers who were in the Islands. lie

According to statistics on file here
about $50 600 horses and mules have been

have dealt with the English army officers

them?
Africa is about nine days. Soon after the
outbreak of hOstihties against the Crown

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
A New York Scientist Declares That
Rubber Can BE Grown Here.

NEW YORK, June 16.-Dr. n. l.. Brit
ton. director-in-chief of the New York
botanical Gardens, has completed an ex-
pertinent which may bring untold mil
lions to Southern planters. He has in cul-
tivation a new rubber plant, which may
be capable of cultivation within the
Southern borders of the United States
and the West Indies.
The plant is being reared with the ut
most care by DR.. Britton and his assist
ants in the great conservatory in the
Eronx. Here is the story of how it came
into being, as related by DR.. Britton:
Every once in a while something Is
printed about q shortage in the supply Of
rubber. The rapidly Increasing demand
exceeds the supply. and II is said that
the trees are dying AS result OF care
less tapping. W hen we heard of another
plant, rich caoutchCuc we were deeply in
terested. and about a year ago ! man
aged to obtain six seeds from Colombia,
of which country the plant is a native.
! These were carefully planted, but only
| one germinated. This has developed into
a fine, healthy young plant, which. we
| hope, will flower next year, so that We
| shall receive plenty Of seed FROM which
| To propagate. | ana also ondeavoring to
obtain other seed from the original source.
THE important fact is already demon
strated that the milk Of the plant is rich
! in true caoutchouc. The sap flows abun-
! dainty from the slightest iacision. and a
! chemical and physical investigation
/ proves its value beyond a doubt.
| What we now have lo learn is its cul-
| tivation. That it is a genuine rubber pro
! ducer Is established. and the next step
| will be ascertain its commercial value.
! We must study its habits. find the tenn
! perature to which 1t is adapted, to what
| extent it is capable of cultivation, and
finally how much rubber can be produced
| from so many acres, and at what cost in
| money. But these things require time.
In its native growth il is a half shrub,
! continued DR.. Britton. 1t is possible
| that it may be successfully grown in
| Southern Texas and other warm regions
of the United States.
| The solitary specimen which is re-
| ceiving so much care is now about TWEEN
! ty-seyen inches high and very healthy.
Shall you undertake the cultivation of
| the plant on a large scale. with view OF
| realizing a fortune from your discovery
THAT would be entirely out of my
line" said the director-in-chief. 'One
can't be a botauist and a business man at
| the same time. When / have shown the
| possibilities of the new rubber plant In
! Il scientific way il Will be for others 10
