RADrUn COLOR TEST.
Experiments to Be Mado to Turn Skin of Negro wkAte-

Experiments to Be Mado to Turn
 Skin of Negro wkAte.
 A startling series of experiments, their object being to turn the skin of negro white, has been started by Rob- ert A. Roos, senior in the college of chemistry in the University of Califor mia, who will work under the supervi- sion of the professors of that depart ment, says San Francisco special dis patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Radium and X rays will be the fac tors in the experiments, and the effect of the combined rays of the two forces on the coloring cells of the body, both in the blood and the skin. will be the object of the research. An exhaustive study of the properties of radium will be made, and large sum has been set aside for the purpose. No expense will be spared in discovering the exact eff feet the wonderful mineral has under all possible circumstances. /
 In the experiment on the negro 1t Is the intention to use the blackest one that can be found. From minor exper- iments already made 1t is believed that by careful treatment he can in short time be turned absolutely the color of n white man and with no pain or dan ger The subject has already been se- lected as far as color goes, and if he is found to be In perfect health, physical iy and mentally, the experiment will begin shortly.
 The man will be kept isolated from all but Roos and the professors while the test is being made and will be fed on q special diet calculated to put him In the best condition for the experiment.
 Q cents will break no man. but might gain many dollars for him. Just try an ad in the Democrat once.

INVESTIGATING FIRE.
State Fire Marshall Looking Up Blaze
 in Fruit Store.

The state fire marshall is still inveS- tigating the fire which occurred in D. Maniot's fruit and candy store on Gen. ter street several weeks ago. At the time of the fire Chief Snagg said 1t was his opinion that the fire was in- cendiary. Since that time almost con- elusive proof has been found that some person set the store on fire. Who that person Is has not as yet been as- certained for certainty. But there is q strong suspicion as to his identi- ty. Yesterday when the store was being cleaned out by men employed by the owner of the block in which the store is. some damaging proof was found that the fire was incendiary and clue probably to the person who set the place on fire. This proof was turned over to Chief Snagg, who in turn will probably transfer to the state fire marshall. ef
 The insurance on the building has been paid but as yet the owner of the burned fruit store has received no in- surance money. There Is hitch in the proceedings. It is rumored that the insurance company has refused to pay the premium. It does not like the aspect of things. It is furthermore Ss1ld lHSlL Ll1S oN LCI. OL tuC SlOIG VIII have to sue the insurance company for the money. If such q suit Is entered there may be some startling reeela- tions.
 Tn the meantime the report of the state fire marshall will be anxiously awaited. He is being harshly criti- csed for not having cleared the store of it's contents after the fire especially when all signs pointed to it being in- cendiary Perhaps he may do something when he is informed of the mysterious something which was found In the store yesterday.

WHAT MExlcANs EAT.
Grease Plays an Important Part In
TLaii Rich Dishes.
Yours truly,
c. K. SCHAFER.

The farther south one goes the
more important part meat seems to
play in the diet. In old Mexico the
people of the upper class have highly
seasoned roasts and steaks and game
three times every day. The roasts
are stuffed with raisins, and rich
brown gravy is poured over them.
Grease seems more indispensable to
them than to the fur enveloped Es-
kimos. There are no broiled steaks,
but in their place one is served with
half raw piece of tenderloin reek-
ing with grease and peculiarly Favored
herbs. In that balmy cline. where
the system would be so much better
off without amy meats, thousands Of
steaks are SOLD daily at 45 and 80 cents
pound. The poorer classes are forced
to abstain from such and live on the
coarse frijole beans and cold clammy
tortillas. which are thin white corn
cakes made from rye hominy crushed
to pulp. This forms their UNMARRIED
diet. On the aristocrats' tables are the
most delicious fruits, chiramoyas,
ZlpOtcS, uduSOeS anu OluecS WQlcl
Americans have never tasted. The
popular aauacate is cross between
fruit and a nut 1t is dark green
and the flesh is about the consistency
of ointment. 1t grows on tree of
unparalleled dark green foliage and is
used often in the place of butter or
is made into a toothsome salad.
Rich soups, with bananas chopped in
them, are served every day, and vege-
tables dressed with goats cream are
on their tables. At every meal during
the year they eat the frijole beans,
which have been dipped into brown
pottery bowl of boiling lard before
they are brought to the table. The
Mexicans eat enough lard to under
mine the digestion of the stoutest be-
ing. Sirup is great delicacy and
very expensive. 1t is served as sort
of dessert in little china saucers and
is eaten from spoons. Little bits of
native candies are also served in sepa-
rate plates.-Farm and Ranch.

New BRITAIN CURRENCY.

Dewarra, Il currency OF New Britain,
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the
shells of a dog whelll upon the ribs of
palm leaves These strings may be re-
tailed mt so much a fathom- usually
the price is equivalent to about three
shillings Il fathom length-or they may
be made into various articles of per-
sonal adornment to lie Worn on great
occasions In New Britain the dewarra
boarded up by rich man is produced
at his funeral and divided among his
heirs in much the same kind of way
as personal property is divided among

Tailor Take. the Artist to Task

A we'll formed, good looking man,
rightly wearing such clothes as any
high class tailor would make for him,
would compare favorably With any
Greek of old. logged in his best But
neither sculptor nor painter can make
so pleasing representation of the man
in close fitting clothes as he can Of
the man in flowing robes, not because
the clothes are unhandsome, nor be-
cause they are unbecoming to the
wearer, but because the artist pre-
sumptuously thinks the tailor who
made the clothes did not know his
business. and does not think it worth
while even to try to represent them
as they are. AS he generally repre-
sents them on canvas or in stone they
look as little like the sartorial things
of beauty they are as a pallid corpse
looks like living human being.-Sar-
