violent. disagreeable excitement. But
as his doses increased in frequency
and size their effect became pleasant
There was no longer pain or excite

ravenous appetite and mood of joy.

He was as robust as blacksmith But
he said he would die at 40 or so. that

Eating of arsenic is common in Sty-
ria. The Styrians say that arsenic
makes one plump and comely and
gives one strength for great exertions.
such as running or mountain climbing.
Styria. in Austria, gives the world
vast quantities of arsenic; the manu-
facture of this drug is indeed the main
Syrian industry. They who make ar
senic eat it. as a rule. for they say
that only the arsenic eater can with
stand the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters ca the drug
are comely. They have a blooming
and clear color. They look much
younger than they are.
THE foreman in a certain arsenic
factory told me that in his boyhood.
when he first came to that plant, he
was advised to begin to eat arsenic

In Alameda. California. a suburb of
San Francisco, there are many vege-
table gardens, some kept by Italians,
some by Greeks, but most of them by
Cinnamon.
Ten years ago these gardeners were
almost all Cinnamon. and they ac-
quired the belief that monopoly of
seventy of them had formed a colony
Just outside Alameda. and laid out
garden of about twenty acres.
One day some Japanese showed up
and leased an adjoining strip of land.
They put up some shacks. and then,
to the great Indignation of the China
men. they began plowing up their
land for garden truck.
OF course, there could be no
friendly relations between them, but
for a year their enmity found express
sion in nothing worse than scowls
and occasional boundary disputes.
Then came the Chino-Japanese war.
Feeling ran high among the San
Francisco Cinnamon because their
local papers printed some fiery edi-
torials against the Japs. This spirit
of jingoism was communicated to the
Alameda Cinnamon. and the relations
between them and their Japanese
neighbors became intensely strained.
The Japs placed outposts Song the
boundary fences. fearing that the
Chinese would raid their truck

gether. Then layers of crushed stone,
each layer being of inner quality
than its predecessor. are rolled into
and over the foundations. The final
layer is of very fine crushed stone.
The whole settles itself into COM
pact mass. almost as smooth as flag
stone. from which water runs off as
soon as it falls. The Telfofd road is
more expensive because its founda-
ton is laid with more care. The foun-
dation stones are of a uniform size
and are laid with the ends uppermost.
like so many bricks set upon edge.
These are bound together by smaller
sizes of stone, the various dressings
of finer stone being laid and rolled
in the same way as for the macadam
roads. The durability of such high
way is unquestionably longer than any
other kind of road known.

The cost of road building varies In
the different places according to the
