FROM WHEAT FIELD TO OVEN.
s1 Leaves of Bread Are Ready
Thirty Minutes After the
Grain Is Cut.

A loaf of bread, the result OF record
making experiment at Blockley, IN
worcestershire, England, was recently
exhibited in London.
At $3.50 one morning Messrs. Taylor
g. Sons. of the Sheaf House farm,
started to cut field of wheat. AS last
as the sheaves were cut they were car
ried away to the granary and there
thrashed and winnowed.
These operations took six and hall
minutes. Thence the wheat was taken
to the mill of ]. H. Painton, and there
ground and dressed in five and hall
minutes. At the adjacent bakehouse the
flour was made into dough and nodded
into cakes and loaves.
Seven small loaves were taken from
the oven at nine o'clock-3O minutes
from the time the wheat was standing
uncut. The larger loaves were finished
in 40 minutes.
One was sent to the king, and otner:
presented to Lady Norwich and Lore
RedeSdale.

RARE AMERICAN PALM.
Specimen in New York Botnni cal
Gardens Found by Collectors
In Flortda.

In the large pam house at the con-
servatories of the Bronx botanical
gardens they have brought to flower
for the first time in the history of the
glass-house culture Of the plant an es-
pecially fine specimen of one OF the
rarest and most majestic of our Ameri-
can palms. This palm, which is now
almost extinct in its wild state. bears
the name Pseudophoeniy sargentii,
and was first discovered botanically
and described some years ago by Herr
Werdland, renowned student OF palms.
and at that time director of the Her.
renhausen palm garden at Hanover,
Germany. while on a collecting eXpedi-
ton in southern Florida.
This PLAN, which was found only on
Elliott's key. off the coast of southern
Florida, Is the most graceful and
beautiful of our American species. The
trunk is of beautiful symmetry, and 10
crowned by rounded mass of leaves
OF rich green, which resemble those
Of the date palm The leaves, which
are somewhat stiff, have clean-cut
appearance. and when at full growth
the tree attains a height of 40 feet, al
though the specimen at the botanical
gardens is only 20 feet high.
So far as is known this palm has
never lowered before in any conserva-
tory, and there Is no other large speci-
men. outside of Florida, in cultivation
in the world. Young plants grown
from seed are in several of the moro
important European collections, and
also in this country, but 1t will be
many years before they attain flower
ing growth.
The specimen in the gardens was Sc.
cured in the fall of 1901 by Head Gar.
dener Nash. who visited Elliott's key
for the purpose of procuring a speci-

land for pineapple cultivation, how

learned that, before the devastation
had been completed number Of large
specimens Of the palms had been taken

secured to remove one of them for the
botanical gardens. 1t proved very
difficult plant to transport, and 1t Ian

year and half in its new home before
1t sent forth its first leaf. but since
that occurrence it has done very well,
and the palm in flower, with its wealth
of new leaves, is one of the most strik-

JAPANESE SAILORS HERE.
~, En- the United states for the ES-
press Purpose of Learning from
American Seamen.

1ananese sailors are beginning TO ap-
near along the New York Waterfront
Some come round the Horn from Caii-
fornia or from oriental ports. and others
serve on vessels of American registry
trading TO Canadian ports, states the
New York Sun.
They are mostly short, but exceeding
" strong and active. They were bred
IN the sea ct home, and were attracted
10 vessels of American registry by the
high wages and sailorly management OF
such craft.
II is the special ambition of the intel
ligent Japanese sailor to see service on
as MANY American vessels as possible.
So strongly marked is this trait that
masters suppose that Japanese with
such experience have peculiar advan-
tages on their return home.
Most of the Japanese sailors are per-
fectly amenable to discipline. and
promptly obedient to their white COM
manders. Half dozen of them with a
white master and two white mates VIII
easily work big schooner from the
province.
They frequently speak only just
enough English to do their nautical
duty. Eyes, sir" mo, sir" the phrases
for the points of the compass and few
like terms, make up the bulk of their
English. They learn. however. the rope
hauling songs. and sing at their work
like genuine Yankee tars
Now and then one encounters in a
crew of Japanese man whose breeding
seems of different character from that
of the ordinary japanese peasant. He
keeps a toothbrush in the forecastle and
has prejudices in favor of personal clean
illness, while his method of salutaticn
has in it something more than the con-
yentional politeness of the sea.
Such men. whatever their origin,
shirk none OF the rough work aboard
ship Doubtless the $50 month which
is their pay, Is better than any wages
they are likely to earn at home. ashore
or at sea.
The Japanese cook, who usually ships
with such crew. has his own notion
about his peculiar art. and often tries to
give salt horse and beans something of a
charm for the palate. His wages are
good, and he is exempt from homesick-
ness in crew Of his own countrymen.
On the whole. he Is apt to be good deal
better and cleaner cook than half those
who exercise that profession aboard

ELEPHANTS GHOSTS.
A Curious Superstition That Has to Do
with the Natives of am
Asiatic Region.

In a recent number Of the Journal
of the Straits branch of the Royal
Asiatic society there appears an in
teresting article from the pen Of Mr..
A. d. Machado on the supposed evil
influence OF ghosts. He says:

lengthy stay at place called KAN

utaries of the Betok, in its turn trib-
utary of the Jelai, the principal feeder
of the Pahang river. l selected this
spot because it had already been
cleared of large trees and had only
recently been in occupation as SaKai
settlement, from the remains Of which
we reared our unpretentious little

advised us to go elsewhere. alleging
that this place was haunted by ele-
plant ghosts, and that they had been

ut is necessary to explain that at
the back of this place, not so yards
away, is to be seen one Of those Pc
culiar muddy pools which animals OF
all kinds frequent for their saline prop
critics, this particular one being known
as the Kubang Gajah Hantu (the mud
pool of the ghostly elephants). These
salt lakes are also known as genuts in
Malay. When the Sakais refer to this
place it Is usually with bated breath,
and a mysterious and awesome ges.

nightly elephants are seen and heard
breaking twigs and branches and wal
lowing in this mud pool. and yet in the
morning not q vestige Of their spoor

This account is interesting from an
chronological standpoint in so far as 1t
illustrates the beliefs and superstitions
of a race of very primitive people. AS
for the number of children dying at
the time. this would only seem nat

Uot-Air Treatment.

One of the methods which physicians
occasionally employ for curative pur-
poses is baking portion of the body.
AS yet this sort of treatment cannot be
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage, but 1t is attracting atten-
ton. The temperatures developed are
often 900 and 400 degrees above zero
Fahrenheit. These are impaired to air,
which must be absolutely dry. Any por-
ton of the body with which this comes
in contact-an arm or the inside of an
ear-must also be absolutely free from
moisture, or the heat will produce scald-

In the water fishes see only at very

length. This will seem perhaps unlike
ly to anglers. although some Of them
can cite instances showing that fish
cannot see far. Snakes seem to have
