Mate, or Paraguay tea, which is the

of some 10000, 900, grows wild in the
woods of the southern half of South
America. For many years it's cultiva-
ton was a lost art. Although large
plantations were planted by Jesuit
missionaries nor than a century ago,
later attempts to raise the plant were
fruitless, and not until recently have
new plantations been established in
Paraguay. The secret of cultivation, it
is alleged, is that the seeds will not
terminate until treated with a potas-
SUM salt. The leaves are usually pre-
pared for market by roasting over a
brushwood fire, grinding to powder,
and ramming into rawhide bags; but
the dried leaves are sometimes merely
broken. With a liberal supply of mate,

The spontaneous combustion OF coal
has always been a source of danger
upon golfers and other vessels carrying
it in large quantities as it absorbs con-
siderable oxygen from the air, which,
in combination with its ca%rbonaceous
constituents, generates heat, and this
IN turn results in combustion. Many
attempts have been made to overcome
the difficulty, but so far all have proved
futile. Thomas Clayton, of London,
England, however, it seems, has sug-
gested a method which promises to be
efhcaeious, and is at the same time
quite simple. After a vessel is loaded
he injects into the hold containing the
coal sulphur dioxide gas and then bat
tens down the matches. A number Of
experiments have been tried with the
method and they all appear to indi-
cate its entire success. A chamber was
filled with about six per cent Of the
gas, and upon thrusting into it a light
ed torch it was Immediately extin-
guished. A long lighted torch, inserted
slowly, was next used with the same
result. Then a broad bar Of red hot iron
was tried and a torch composed of
straw saturated with naphtha, also a
bucket Of naphtha into which a red hot
bar of iron was thrust, but nothing
would ignite OF explode in the pres
ence of the gas.

made to a " the tree that yields the
valuable gum from destruction. No
satisfactory substitute for the gutta-
percha found in the forests of the
Malay Peninsula and in Malacca has
been discovered, but the natives, in
order to get quick returns, are destroy
ing the trees so rapidly that a gutta-
percha famine is feared. To prevent
this, the French, Dutch and British
governments r striving not only to
prevent waste of the trees already K
isting, but to increase their number
by transportation and cultivation. Ex-
periments with transplanted trees are
being made in Reunion and Madagas-
car. At present it is said to be almost
impossible to find a f~ull-grown gutta-
percha tree.-Youth's Companion.

Mrs. Fitzgeorge has a name that is
uncommonly interesting. Her husband,
Col. F~itzgeorge. is a son of His Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, own
cousin of the late Queen Victoria, and
the only man living who ever called
that venerable monarch wick" as she
once mournfully observed, not long be-
fore her death. The duke was born a
month or two earlier than the queen,
but his father, the first Duke of Cam
bridge, was a younger son of George
III. than her father, the Duke of Kent;
otherwise the bluff old duke would
have been king of England. He was
rather expected to come to the throne
any way, for Victoria was a delicate
child. and this cousin of hers was next
in line. BY a similar twist of luck.
also, the duke only Just escaped being
king of Hanover. But the duke him
self put the browning touch on his
story of What Might Have Been by
throwing away all royal favor, reject
ing all the right royal princesses he
might have welded, and breaking the
stern law of royal blood to marry an
actress named Miss F~arebrother, who
was noted neither for power or beauty.
Half the crowned heads of Europe tried
to persuade him to throw her over, He
could not give her his name or title,
and he had to invent a name, Fftz-
george, for their children. But he stuck
to her through thick and thin up to
the day of her death. Queen Victoria
forgaye him in time and had him made
commander-in-chief of the British ar
my, a position he held till the British
public demanded fresher blood for the
place, and Viscount Wolseley was put
in power. The duke will begin his S4th
year next month, and is now almost
helpless physically, but his mind is as
bright as a dollar, and he is still able

thai the signs on something like half
a dozen of the millinery and drapery
shops on fashionable Band street hide
under assumed names the financial in
terests OF as many peeresses or daugh-
ters of titled families. One of them,
the dashing Countess of Warwick,
came out boldly, as is her wont, and
put Countess of Warwick in big let
ters over her shop front, and used to
make a practice of being on the prem
ises as much as possible.
The shop was started for the sake OF
the fancy work done by the girls Of the
village of Easton. Finding new occu-
pations for women is a pet pursuit of
Lady Warwick's, and two or three
years ago she had the ingenious idea
of having English girls taught the art
Of embroidery as it is practised in
France. The girls produced such fine
work, and the demand for it grew so
rapidly, that it was soon necessary to
open London headquarters, where or
ders could be taken.
Perhaps the most marked manifesto
ton of Lady Warwick's real business
capacity was her level-headed adjust
ment reorganization of her husbands
business affairs. 1t was entirely owing
to her suggestion, and largely by her
aid, that her husband, the Earl of
Warwick, turned himself into a limited
liability company, under the name Of
THE War@ick Estates, Limited" an
action which has proved to have been
exceedingly well advised. The brilliant
countess, who is one Of th@Smost beau
tiful women in England, is interested
in half a dozen other schemes, some
of them philanthropic, and some of
them intended to contribute funds to
her own pocket. She also writes maya
zine articles, and accepts the checks
with charming grace.

1t is becoming more and more ap-
parent that irrigation is destined to
have a larger place in the agriculture
OF the humid portion of the United
States than a few years ago was

problem of irrigation rests largely in

He explained to Secretary Hay that it had been the hope of the Rome Government at first to reach a satisfactory settlement of her claims against Venezuela such as France had secured.
 To this end polite, but firm note was addressed to the Caracas foreign office after the ultinlatums of Germany and Great Britain had been sent. Pending a reply to this note the Italian authorities did not resort to drastic measure. When inc reply came 1t was found to be not only a rejection of all Ttaly's demands, but its tone was wholly displeasing and fl was therefore necessary for Italy to +o,Iow suit with Germany and Great Britain and join in the allied naval demonstration. There is one Italian ves- sel now at La Guiara and two more are understood to have sailed today from Naples
