SOME RICE RECIPES
RICE MERIyeuE,

Take one cupful of rice and one
quart of boiling water, and boil till
the rice in very soft, then drain in
colander. Add to the rice one pint
of milk, the yolks of six eggs, beaten
very light with two cups of sugar;
two tablespoonful butter, and the
juice and grated rind of one lemon.
Mix thoroughly, place in baking
dish and bake half an houf in a
quick oven. Then beat the whites
of six eggs to a striff froth, and add
gradually six tablespoonfuls OF
powdered sugar. Continue to beat
till the whites will stand alone, then
pour over the rice and place in the
oven few minutes to brown. This
pudding may be served either hot
or cold.

WATER AS A FUEL.

Mr.. Frank Elmers, well known
knight of the grip, guest at the
fremont, was discussing oil fuel,
coal fuel and other fuels last night.
"About the last thing one would
expect to make a fire of is water"
said he to News reporter. eve
hear of wood and coal and peat and
many other articles as combustibles;
and occasionally some one boasts
that he has money to burn;' but
who ever heard of any one kindling
his fire with a pitcher of water or
setting a rain barrel with its con-
tents under his furnace? Yet,
strange, as it may seem, a Wash
ington inventor of repute, announces
a device by which pure water may
be burned and made to yield as in
tense heat as is wanted. There
seems to be no limit to the achieve
ments of science, but fuller details
will be awaited before this latest
announcement is accepted in full.
1t is explained, however, by the
statement that the process consists
IN decomposing the gases. 1t is the
latter, therefore, not water in its
crude state, but only some of its
constituent elements, that are burn
ed. Several more or less familiar IL
Illustrations may bring the device
within the range of probability.
Most persons have noticed that in
great fires water, if sprinkled on in
limited quantity, rather adds to
than quenches the flame. Practical
application of the same principle is
apparently found in the burning of
ashes mixed with water, which was
resorted to by householders during
the fuel famine of last winter. Such
a mixture, pasted over strong bed
of Goals, was found to burn a long
time and give out great heat. But
without specializing further, or
peering too curiously under the
cover, it is sufficient to say that
this inventor of the latest water
cure treatment will earn the ever
lasting gratitude of all housewives
If he tells them how to kindle the
fire with bucket OF water or set
the pot boiling with accumulated
products of the rain-clouds. Gal

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug. 3.-Minister Richmond
Pearson. at Teheran. Persia. writes as fol-
lows to the State Department:
Upon the invitation Of Tigran Corogantz
Khan. who will have charge Of the Persian
exhibit At the Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
ton, have to-day examined the collection
of articles which will be sent to ST. Louis.
THE most interesting and valuable part
OF the collection consists Of old six and
velvet brocades and embroideries, old rugs
vegetable colors, characteristic Of the Per-
sian textile art for centuries past. There IL
q very large collection of modern carpets,
silk, velvet and wool, which will doubtless
remain In America. Their value, Of course,
Is commercial rather than artistic. and they
are naturally very much cheaper.
The collection Of antiquities includes rare
and very old pottery, kitchen and household
utensils. some Of them 1000 years old: arms
time Of the Crusades; tiles. the art Of max.
ing which has been lost for thouss nd
years; Persian illuminated books that date
back TO the time of Solomon.
Strange to say, there are no pearls OF
tLrquoises in the exhibit. Mr.. Coroganfx
tells me that the demand for these jewels Is
SO strong and constant In England and tho
United States that they are shipped direct
from Bouchire. on the Persian Gulf, and
that this country has been drained practi-
cally bare.
