the orientals very long without get
ting over the idea that a meat diet
is essential to the conservation of
human strength in manual labor and
the repair of waste. Chinese and
japanese coolies work harder at
home than do American or European
field laborers. Chinese and Japan
ese soldiers endure the fatigue of
marching and fighting better than do
American or European troops, fact
which has been attested in two wars.
In Japan two rice-fed coolies, draw
ing a 'rickshaw loaded with 300
pound tourist, have been known to
trot 30 miles, only resting once on
the way. Tremendous burdens are
carried on the backs of Asatics hour
in and hour out. Furthermore the
most enduring monuments of human
energy on earth, the Egyptian pyra-
mids 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 their
campaigns on dates. People whose
principal food comes from the sea
are among the hardest on earth.

PERILS OF BACTERIA.
Danger from Infection by Eating
Food That Has Been Exposed
to Contamination.

In busy and crowded thoroughfares
the practice of exposing food for sale
is open to the greatest objection. The
air of such places presents a terrible
meteorological history and the con-
tamination of food sold in open places
becomes an easy possibility Street
dust is full of tubercle bacilli from the
detestable habit of splitting; il may
also contain the microbes of pus, ma
lgnant oedema, tetanus and septi'
caemia. 1t is true that the faint de-
posted on food exposed for sale may
be purged in the process OF cooking
and micro-organism may, be de-
stroyed. although it has been pretty
strongly asserted that the cookery OF
fish in particular has not been effec-
tual in destroying the typhoid bacillus,
instances of typhoid fever having been
traced to contaminated yet cooked
fish, says London Lancet.
The avidity with which certain foods
would appear to absorb noXiouS odors
is well known. Milk is peculiarly liable
TO take up unpleasant odors, and so,

when exposed in shallow trays to re-
duce the smell of paint in house.
Fish cannot be placed in the same par
eel as coffee or other pungent smelling
article of food, a. it so rapidly absorbs
the odoriferous principle.
Busy streets re seldom free from
offensive effiuvi ., and it is reasonable
to conclude that these would easily
affect many articles of food exposed
to them. In our own knowledge quite
recently complaint was made that a
salmon tasted strongly of creosote.
The fishmonger might easily have been
charged with selling fish brushed over
with a powerfully smelling antiseptic.
But it subsequently proved that the
Strand Gas usuaD was "up" and that
the stacks of black wooden bricks were
giving off strong naphthalene odor

injurious to health. but possessed a
decidedly unpleasant taste.
Butchers meat might easily get

recorded that meat exposed to a cur

powerfully toxic, and this again af-
fords further illustration of the dam
gers involved when food is indiscrim-
inately left in contact with air of
doubtful purity. 1t is not desirable
that food offered for sale should be
exposed to the free influx of air from
the streets. If it must be presented
to view to attract customers it should
be exhibited behind a glass screen,
and adequate provision should be made
for ventilation with pure air.

limiteo. Step by step the present
engine has been raised from 500
horse power to 1.500-horse power and
more in some cases, but not by
means of startling novelties of any
kind. The chief improvement has
been secured through increasing the
boiler power from $50 pounds per
square inch, which was a maximum
Is years ago, to 200 pounds as a rule
and 225 pounds per square inch, in
some engines; but the steam dis
tributing details remain just where
they were IS years ago, with some
notifications in dimensions-none
whatever in application.
The greatest stumbling block is
the line itself, as it exists on most
American railways between impor-
tant terminals-the large cities-and
it seems hopeless to expect any i'm
provement until the roadbeds of the
railways of the United States are
constructed for high speed. There is
no object in building higher-powered
locomotives to drag trains up steep
hills and around short curves, or
upon gradients more or less heavy.

There is nothing to prevent high

to permit it--that is, were they near

the specific object of high speed in
lieu of general traffic.

MUCH MARRIED PEOPLE.
Remarkable Matrimonial Records of
Women who Had Many
Husbands,

A Spanish journal has unearthed O
remarkable case of woman who has
six times been a widow in six years
and is on the eve of taking a seventh
husband. This calls to mind other
notable cases of the sort. Lady Efiz
abeth Percy, in the seventeenth cen
fury, was twice a widow and three
times wife before she was out OF
her sixteenth year. The third mar
who married this much-married girl
was the duke of Somerset, Charles
Seymour, who stood by the coffin OF
Charles H. after his death and by
the throne of George II. at his
GROWING. He was a notable figure
in six reigns. He was well married
into the family which has become
known in history as the Proud Per
cys." When his young wife, Lady
Elizabeth Percy, died, the duke be-
came the husband of Lady Charlotte
Finch, and it is recorded that when
his lady once tapped him on the
shoulder the duke turned round and
said: Madam, my first wife was
Percy, and she would never have
taken such a liberty"
John Evelyn in his diary tells a
story before which the record of the
Spanish lady pales. Toward the end
of August" he writes, II returned &c
Haarleon. They showed us a cottage
where they told us dwelt woman
who had been married to her twenty
fifth husband, and, being now a wild
ow, was prohibited to marry in the
future; yet it could not be proved
that she had ever made away with
any of her husbands, though the sus-
picion had brought her divers times
into trouble.
An American lady, DR.. Mary Spen-
GER, not many years ago took unto
herself an eleventh husband In a
town in North Wales. She was IA at
the time, so that she had had a new
husband every three years.

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

The stevedores and 'longshoremen
who struck awhile ago and were sup
planted by Japanese have raised an
interesting question of racial capac-
ity TO do hard work. As will he 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 Caucasian diet, says the Honolulu
Advertiser.
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 ag-
gregate of toll. Shall we say, does
not equal? No one needs to know

90 three or more miles in an indi-
natural obstacles. the crooked route
has, in the vast majority of instances,
been laid out. The earning capacity
of a railroad depends. other things
being equal, upon the hauling power
of the locomotive under the most
favora BILE conditions, that is, the cost
per train mile. Consider the case of
a trunk line railway following q tor
tuous water way for long distances,
directly upon the foreshore. Heavy
trains, consisting of SO many cars
that the whole train is often upon
reverse curves, are run at the high
est speed possible, but with great
loss of time and power, and this not
for short distances, but for hum
dreds OF miles on several different
lines. 1t is not a matter for wonder
that the average speed is low; it is
astonishing that ii is not less. For,
while it is true that the locomotive
of to-day is far more powerful ma
chine than it was 20, or even ten,
years ago, it must be borne in mind
that the load and duty imposed upon
the modern engine have been large
" increased. This is one reason
why the average speed is still less
than 40 miles per hour.
Some writer's have urged the adop-
ton of new type of locomotive.
Those in use in the United States are
of similar type in their several
classes. They differ but in matter of
detail and proportion. but these very
differences have been evolved only
after long years of trial and error.
The inventor of the NEW locomo-
tive" is fertile in devising, but nearly
all, even the freak machines, are pa
tiently tried on their merits.
Mr.. Watson thinks regarding the
future development of the American
locomotive as high-speed and high
power machine, that a radically new
locomotive is not available for i'm
mediate service; that railway Off
Gals will give promising devices fair
trials, and, lastly, that the field for
radical improvement is exceedingly

Boys Essay on WATER.

A very original essay on water is

of the writer's ideas upon the subject
are strikingly novel.
For instance, he divides all water in
to four subheadings-rai water, soda
water, holy water and brine.

a good many things. Sailors use
water to go to sea on. Water is a good
thing to fire at boys with a squirt gun

SPEED OF LOCOMOTIVES.
The Average Rate on United States
Railways Not Materially In
creased in 70 Years.

The discussion of the high speeds
already attained by railway trains
and the speculations why still great
err speed cannot be, obtained on the
railway as at present organized, is
perennially an attractive one for both
the technical and the lay press. The
desire that American-built engines
should have fair chance to prove
themselves abroad, joined with the
suspicion that they were not getting
such chance in England and France,
has stimulated a very general public
interest in the general subject
among even those who know little
or nothing of the details of the case.
In a recent number of the Engineer
ing Magazine Egbert p. Watson
writes of the machine, as at pres
ent developed and built in this coun-
try, simply as a high speed device
After reference to the notably quick
runs. Mr.. Watson says the average
speed of the railways of the United
States is not markedly higher to-day
than it was 25 years ago between the
principal cities of the union. 1t is
not asserted that managers of rail
ways are Indifferent to this state of
affairs. for it is believed they have
done all that is possible in certain
directions, but the gains in time are
slight in comparison with the popu-
lar demand. Careful consideration
of the subject of higher speed leads
Mr.. Watson to the belief that it will
not be attained for some years to
come. unless there is radical change
in the permanent way itself, for
therein, according to his opinion, is
the chief obstacle. All the railways
In this country pass through the
lines of least resistance, except
where detours are purposely made
for commercial reasons. The right
