BraziI Has a Fine Tea.

United States Consul Ayme writes
from Para a recommendation of Bra
lillian beverage, yerba mate tea, which
Is prepared from the roasted and pull
verified leaves of an evergreen forest
tree.
Yerba mate is largely consumed in
Paraguay and In the Brazilian States,
where it Is made 1t Is extensively
consumed In Argentina, in Uruguay,
and to less extent in Chill. There is
a small consumption in other States
of Brazil, a small quantity is exported
to Europe and still less to the United
States and Canada. Estimated exports
may reach $4,000 to $1,000 tons annu-
ally.
Yerba mate has a peculiar bitter.
smoky taste, which is usually consid-
cred unpleasant, and this has largely
operated to prevent its more extensive
use as a beverage, This smoky bitter
ness is chiefly due to the rude meth
cd employed for drying the leaves and
it seems likely that the improved
methods of drying the mate on iron or
copper pans would give a much more
delicate and agreeable product. Mate is
said to have all of the best qualities
of coffee and tea as a stimulating
health beverage, without the disadvan-
tage of either. 1t is a more gentle
stimulant than either and is said to be
much used in the hospitals of Paris.
The tree could probably be grown
in southern California, perhaps in
southern Texas, certainly in many
parts OF the Philippines.

The electro-sterilizato of NJ. Otto is
an attempt to solve the problem Of
ozonizing water at the home Of the
consumer. The apparatus includes a
little box containing a transformer and
an ozonator, with a commutator for
reversing about one hundred times per
second II the current is continuous.
The ozone generated passes through a
filter OF wadding to an emulser, where
the water and ozone are theoretically
mixed before passing from the spigot.
The ozonator may be connected to an
ordinary lighting circuit, and the cur
rent required is about the same as for
simple incandescent lamp.
An ingenious Englishman, Harrison
Martindale, has invented a radium
clock, which, 1t Is computed, could run
10000 years If uninterfered with. 1t
consists of tube containing a small
quantity Of rGdium. supported on a
quartz rod in an exhausted glass YES
sci. To the lower end of the tube is
attached an electroscope, consisting of
two long strips of silver. The natural
action of the radium sends an electric
charge into the strips, causing them
to separate until they touch the sides
of the vessel, whereupon they are in
stantly discharged and fall together
again. This operation is repeated au-
tomatically every two minutes, so that
each beat of this singular timekeeper
may be said to be two minutes long.

Princess Irene of Prussia is better
provided for in the matter of god
fathers than any other woman in the
world. She can boast of no fewer than
1000 godfathers, and how she came
to obtain so many is a pretty story.
When she was oorn the war OF 1866
was drawing to an end. and peace be-
ing concluded just at the time of her
christening, her father, Prince Henry
of Hesse, requested all the officers and
men of the regiments under his COM

EACH RACE ITS ODOR.

Orienta1s Said to Object Strongly to
Western Peoples on that Score.
Western nations, with their usual
conceit, imagine that they are superior
in every respect to the races of another
color and consequently to those of the
Far East. One OF the charges which
white men bring against the negro is
that the odor emanating from him is
the reverse OF pleasant and occasion
ally, In hot weather, is almost unbear.
able.
The Caucasian never pauses to think
that possibly the odor of his skin Is
by no means pleasing to the sense of
smell of the negro or the Indian. New
ertheless, it is stated that the smell Of
the white man is not so fragrant to the
negro as 1t is imagined, but is, In fact.
Objectionable to a degree.
According to a recent issue of the
New York Times. a Japanese medical
man has published a treatise concern
ing the odor Of the Occidental races,
declaring that 1t takes some time for
the Oriental to become accustomed
to It,
The writer advances the theory
which has been discussed before-that
each race has its peculiar odor. that 1t
is partly radical, but is in a measure
Influenced by dietary and other condi-
lions.
The Japanese do not smell each 9th
er, but the perfume from their bodies
Is waited by the breezes to the Rus
SLAMS, who can distinguish the smell
Of thedr enemies at a long distance. The
writer, however. states that 1t is moth
ing like the pungent and penetra ting
emanation proceeding from the West
ern nations. in which traces of garlic
and ancient cheese and the volatization
of a coarse and over-abundant dietary
are sure to be found.
There are reasons to think that the
Japanese doctor may be right and per
haps each race has its characteristic
odor.
Certain 1t is that primitive races
have a much keenor sense OF smell
than the members OF highly civilized
race. With civilization and the art OF
living In an artificial manner, from dis
use the senses Of sight and smell be
come less acute The japanese ha~
not embraced civilization for 50 long
a period as to lose the qualities OF a
people living in a state of nature. In.
deed, the great majority are not civ.
ilized at all.-Chicago Chronicle.

INTERESTING TREES OF INDIA
Eagle or Aloe Wood and Chinese Tal1o W
Tree Much Prized.


Tree Much Priced.
Two interesting numbers of the
Agricultural Ledger have just been
issued in Bombay. They are devoted
to a description Of two trees which
grow and are much priced in India
the tagle, or aloe wood, and the Chi
nese tallow tree. David Hooper, the
director Of the Industrial section Of
the Indian Museum, who is responsible
for both these papers, describes in an
extremely readable manner the various
uses to which the products of these
trees are devoted, how they are collect
ed and where they are found. The
aloe wood tree is a native of the noun
tains east and southeast of Sylhet, in
Burmas, and in Bengal. 1t is valua-
BILE on account of a dark, resinous,
aromatic juice with which the wood
is sometimes gorged. This resin, or
sugar as it is colloquially termed, is
used for its perfume and supposed
medicinal properties. 1t is very costly
and is used both for incense in re-
ligious and other ceremonials and also
In the preparation of a perfume called
agar altar, which is practically as
costly as altar Of roses. The most In
teresting feature in connection with
the aloe wood tree is the uncertainty
as to whether any particular tree will
be found to contain the precious resin.
A tribe of hill men known to the ma
tives as agar kumlahs make 1t their
business to search for the resinous
wood. Their trade is a secret which
they always endeayor to preserve from
all natives of other tribes. A party
of agar kumlahs goes off into the
mountains with provisions for as long
as three months. and they prosecute
their tedious search in districts where
probably a human being is not seen
from month to another. Trees have
to be chopped down and hacked to
pieces before 1t can be ascertained
whether they contain any Of the resin
GUS deposit, and sometimes, after a
wearisome search through half dozen
trees, young and old, not single
piece Of agar is discovered. Again,
1t may be that a rich find is made,
and then the collector is repaid for
half month of work. The forest
department preserves the tree and col
lects the agar. Some years ago the
officials Of that branch of the service
were disposed to believe that the tree
was becoming extremely rare. How
aver wear nv year the sales of the
department increase, so that 1t may
be assumed that as yet there is nc
ground for the fear that the tree may
become extinct. The Chinese tallov
tree grows in the United Provinces and
in the Punjaub. 1t is valuable because
OF a species Of vegetable tallow which
