THE POTATO IN GERMANY.
Berlin Exposition Devoted to the
Famous American Tuber.

An exposition is now "on" In Berlin
devoted to showing what can be done
with the potato as human food, as food
for animals and as material for alco-
hol, starch, deXtrin, etc. A full account
of 1t is given in report By Consul
General Mason.
One-eighth of all the arabic land in
Germany is planted to potatoes For
every 10000 people we plant Si5 acres.
Great Britain and Ireland 81 acres,
France 9S acres, Germany lGO acres.
The quantity of potatoes raised per
acre is greater in Germany than else
where. 1t has been increased thirty
eight per cent. In recent years by men
in spectacles who never touch hoe.
but investigate soil needs.
One-half the potatoes are eaten as
human food. so that Germans must eat
far more potatoes than do other peo-
pies. Prizes are now offered for the
best apparatus for preparing potatoes
for animal food.
Dextrin and potato starch are famil-
lar everywhere, but potato-acohol de-
yelopments in Germany are thoroughly
up to date. The Daimler Motor Com
pany-the same that makes automo-
biles-built fifty-horse power engine
run by potato alcohol as fuel for the
Russian marine department; it was
greatly admired by Emperor William.
Lighting apparatus for streets, rooms
and shops and many forms OF alcohol
heating stoves are interesting The ad-
vantages are obvious No smql,c. no
smell. no great exhaustion Of the air,
comparative cheapness. The hest lights
are those which pass potato-alcohol
vapor through a mantle like the Wells
bach
Alcohol for commercial purposes
pays neither tariff nor tax in Germany.
The Central Association for alcoholic
distribution sells 1t at any railroad sta
tion in Germany for from 10 to II cents
gallon--a cheaper fuel than oil is In
this country under the benefcent tar
iff that protects the Standard Oil Com
pany's Infant industry"
Motor carriages, even yachts and
small naval vessels can be driven by
potato-alcohol engines.

IN LAND OF "EvANeELlNE."
Beautiful Bayou Teche Country Ap.
peals to Every Visitor.

PSa'o " GNS'y S'Siso''
The "Teche country" Hov often
one hears the country of southern
Louisiana spoken of and so few really
have seen the beauties of it, and still
1t lies In a most convenient locality,
with several important little cities
and many magnificent plantations on
its banks. Then again, Longfelow
immortalized the ancient river in his
"Evangeline." There is a certain some
thing, say dreaminess, which takes
hold of one, and enthraled by the haze
of the sunshine and mist you look
upon the commonplace as sunshine.
At st, Martinsville the widespread
ing "Eyangeline oak" is near the
bridge, md one can almost see the
cove into which the skiff was drawn
as Gabriel passed up the stream. each
wandering in search of the other, and
the thick underground of palms and
vines obscuring the gaze from the
passer-by. The town itself seems to
have changed but little. a settlement,
more or less. The creole French is
spoken in shops and market. Narrow
brick pavements, shaded by galleries.
are built out to the curb, pavementa
always spoken of as "banquettes" The
white chapel with its graveyard, with
two brick oven graves, claimed to be
those of the two romantic lovers, adds
greatly to the Impression that yo,
have stepped out of the busy world
for time and cannot realize that
somewhere electric cars are dashing
through streets or imagine traffic
stopped to allow some scurrying pc
destrian to edge to a crossing.
Here the dust is undisturbed and
the bayou flows peacefully on, on past
some roomy, wide plantation house,
on to the sugar house, with Its tower.
ing chimneys. sheds and machinery.
Then cabins, like rows of dusty sugar
loayes, add to the characteristic pan
Drama. The mammoth trees, with
their dropping moss, hanging low to
the waters edge, intermingled with
shiny palms and luxuriant ferns.

The thriving town of New iberia Is
fast gaining prominence. Then Jean

recognition. The timberland and lum-
bering facilities are fast developing
interest and attracting speculative
attention, all through the waters of
the long neglected, sleepy, unused
