to be absolutely fearless of snakes. A
 person who is without fear can handle
 even deadly reptiles without danger,
 Most snakes, you know, attempt to ess cape when approached by a human be- ing. That's where the catcher gets ir
 his work. He will make detour and
 head of the fleeing reptile, which then
 comes to a stop and retreats in anothef
 direction. Another detour again starta
 the snake on a different course. and
 these tactics are followed until the rep- tile comes to a bewildered pause. Then the catcher will take out his handker- chief. This he waves at arms length to attract the snakes attention, and all the time he is edging up closer until he is right over the snake. which is concentrating all its attention on the Tapping handkerchief A quick move ment enables the catcher to grasp the reptile back of the head. and an expert will have 1t subducd and under his control with a few gentle strokings. Black snakes. bull snakes. pine snakes, and other less venomous varieties are captured that way without dificulty ;"

IDEAL CUP OF COFFEE
WHAT UNCLE SAM'S SCIENTISTS HOPE TO PRODUCE.
Will Test All the Methods--Use of the Leaves Instead of the Berry AL So to Be TFied--May Mean
 Revolution.

Washington Post.
 The bureau of plant industry of the Agrictural Department wilh- devote a portion or the whole of the coming winter to producing an ideal cup of cof- fee.
 For this purpose a specially trained expert Mir F. L. Lewton. who has been studing the subject of coffee growing and making in various lands, and spe- cial laboratory appliances, will me em- ployed
 The department takes the view that the present grading of coffee, based upon the decisions of Stasters," em- ployed in the trade is in large meas ure. at least. superhous. The produc- tior of a good cup of coffee depends upon the way in which 1t Is made. not upon the grade of coffee bean employ ed--this Is, in brief the hypothesis up- on which the experiments will be con- ducted.
 The coffee taster. like the tea taster. Is a person possessed of an obnormal- ly sensitive palate. He can tell wheth- CT the beans of the coffee which he tastes grew upon the ground or upon trees, as well as grade tpem according to the portion of Java or Brazil, which produced them, just as the tea taster can tell in what province of China the leaf was grown whose armor he barely permits to touch his palate. Such is, in a manner. a special sense, obviously not possessed by the great mass of people, and, in fact, so. rare as to render the decision of the taster cav fare to the general"
 Tests to Be Comprehensive.
 But the making of coffee-how to obtain the best results from the choic- est kinds as well as from the more expensive-this isanother questoin. Not only will all the known methods of coffee making be employed In the ex- periments, but scientific methods will be used to determine with the utmost exactness the effects produced upon the coffee bean of each change from the time 1t leaves the plantation. through the process of roasting of the bever- age. The latter will be passed upon as to quality, not by the taster. but by the employees of the Agricultural Depart ment who will represent the ordinary coffee consumers.
 While various steps in the scienti- fic phase of the experiments will have little or no direct practical value, 1t will be nevertheless a throughly prac- ticaI end aimed at from start to finish namely, the production of a good cup of coffee by means which will be within the reach of all. It will be ap- preciated by all persons acquainted with the art and mystery of coffee mak- ing that various conditions, apparently trivial in themselves. have to he taken into consideration in producing the beverage. For instance. in the process of roasting the beans may be more or less damaged by being under or over done and the flavor of the coffee thus imnared to a corresponding degree. Hence the necessity for ideal conditions in roasting.

ago This Is 100 per cent better record than the first three months of the Ameri- can occupation of Havana, Santiago, San Juan or Manila. There will be no diminu- tion of the death rate among the native residents of Panama so long as the present unhygienic conditions exist.
 The census of Panama City. just com pleted by the Sanitary Department, shows a population of 2O.250 within the city lim- its. This does not include Ancon. La Boca. or La Sabana, which are virtually suburbs. The figures taken also show that there are a little over 500 houses in the city connect ed with the old stone sewers.
 Chief Engineer Wallace will return from the States the latter part of this month, ac- companied by Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. W. J. Karner. wife of Acting Chief Engineer Karner. With the advent of winter e large number of wives of officials and employees of the Commission will come to the lsth- mus. At present the feminine portion of the American colony is poorly represented in numbers, an actual count showing four ladies only.

TRAINING SOLDIERS.
AtascaderO EneamDment Profitable to
 State T'rOOpa.

 Sunset Magazine.
 The recent eacampment at Atasca- dero, from a professionial point of view, was a complete success in every way. The matter is of national inn portance. and the more that people know about 1t. the more value it is bound to be, for the merit of the work will recommend itself to anybody fla miIiar with 1t. The practical value of such a training arises from the fact that 1t consists entirely of work which requires a largo number of men and a great scope of country, and therefore. cannot be undertaken at any ordinary army post, or in the vicinity of any of the armories of the national guard of California. The exercises and ma neuvers were framed to represent ac- tual conditions in the field, and the execution was so carried out and realistic that we had actual campaign- Ing in every way excepting the trag- edy or the killing of men on the field. The hope of all army officers is that the experience has been so profitable to the State troops that they will re- spond to the next call for such an encampment with increased enthusi- asm and in multiplied numbers.

AN ANCIENT TOWN IN CHILL.
Two Explorers Announce Discovery of an Aztec City Deserted Two
 Thousand Years Ago.

an Aztec City Deeerted TWO
 Thousand Years Ago.
 Tacoma. Wash, Special
 The discovery in the Andes Noun tains. 250 miles from Aracou, Chill, of a city deserted for 2.000 years, but once inhabited, presumably by Aztecs of much larger stature than those who lived In Central America, is reported here by two men just returned from Chilli. They are hurrying East to pre- sent the results of their researches to American and German scientists.
 The discoverers are Professor Emil von Burgess of Berlin, a noted archae- ologist, and William J. Heminway, of New York, who have explored South America. At the head of a party of five they have spent a year in explora- ton. The deserted city was found in a small valley. which was reached only after weeks of hardship. It is in an excellent state of preservation.
 Stone houses. probably built twenty centuries ago, are still standing. The tools of the husbandry and household implements found are of stone. A large number of articles found in the deserted city are being taken East. The city had 1.500 inhabitants

It Is a curious fact that within a short time arsenic-one Of the dead Hest poisons-has been brought to mo- tice not only as common constituent of animal tissues but as an essential one. Dangerous accumulation is pre- vented by its constant passage away through the skin and in the excretions. About forty different foods have been examined by Armand Gautier and P. Clausmann. and in animal and vege- table products, wines, beer, water salt. etc.. arsenic was found. beans and ca abbages alone showing no traces. It is especially abundant in the flesh of fish and crustacea. Our ordinary daily diet supplies a fraction of a grain, and this quantity while thought to be needed, seems to be sufficient.

Again. the effects of water at various temperatures upon the ground coffee | and the proper period for infusion will. | for the first time in the history of cof- ' sfee-making. be thoroughly and accur- ately ascertained. The retention of
 caffeine, the active principle of coffeer | to which 1t owes it's stimulating effects. and the elimination of the caffeotannic
 and caffeic acids, which are not only | injurious to health, but communicate an unpleasant. bitter taste to the beverage will be, of course. the principal ob- jects.
 May Mean a Revelation. | What promises to be a most inter- esting feature of the experiments will
 be the testing of the method employed in the western part of Sumatra of us- ing the leaves of the coffee plant in- stead of the berries, The leaves are prepared by quick drying in a manner similar to that in which tea leaves are prepared, and are said to contain in this State even a larger portion of caffeine than the coffee beans of our market. Should this prove to be true, and a satisfactory flavor be produced. 1t is manifest that the entire coffee in- dustry of the world may be revolution ized.
 The method in vogue in Cuba of making coffee by cold water infusion, though supposed to eliminate the unde- sirable tannic element, has been found by Mir. Lewton to contribute in reality little or nothing to that effect The pro- cesses employed Npy the expert coffee makers of France and Egypt will be used, in as far as they are known. It is a recognized fact, however, that some of these adopts possess secret methods which they will not disclose, as, for instance, the famous Egyptian coffee-maker ot the King of England. Very few persons know how to pre- serve the delicate and pleasant aroma of coffee. as this may be destroyed un- der a variety of conditions.
 Again, there is the injurious effects of coffee upon the human system to be considered. and for this phase of the experiments the methods of Dr. Wiley. chief chemist of the Agricultural De- partment will probably be adopted. This portion of the experiments will be of no little interests and importance. as 1t is to the excessive consumption of coffee by the peple of the United States that Europeans attribute much of the III health prevalent in this country.

JAPAN DURING THE WAR.
The Condition Described by One Doing
BUSINESS There.

Senator Foster OF Washington has re-
cetved an unusually interesting letter from
an intimate friend engaged In the export
ana import business In Japan. The writer
gives an insight into the war situation as
II enects the people,. dispeis all notions of
the yellow perir' and shows that the
japanese are fighting with a purpose of
taking place among the world powers
ne erect of the war is so far bad"
says Senator Fosters correspondent; bad
IN the way that tourists keep completely
away, and that in consequence the retail
business Is absolutely demoralized and
even the wholesale business is at a stand
still
Building has stopped completely, and
the people in general are trying in every
way TO reduce expenses, and the result is
more disastrous than they expect. Most
people follow the principle Of doing away
with Injuries etc. And what Is the re-
suit? Even Increased taxation cannot make
any Roadway to meet the enormous ex-
pense OF war, as the taxation is mostly on
luxuries, which are not used now. Thus
the income from that source is slight The
export business Is very good, as prices are
going down on a number of articles and
the merchants are able to pick up In GU
rios. ETC.. some wonderful bargains.
But as you know 1t Is matter of life
and death for Japan. and trust the result
will be favorable, for although the egotism
of some of the Japanese cannot be denied.
the multitude behaves wonderfully well.
The celebrations of, some of the victories
were tame affairs compared to some scenes
witnessed during the Spanish-American
war
1.-THE 'yellow-perif question Is fine
bunch of nonsense, as Asia for Asiatics' is
not what the Japanese really desire. They
want, above ALL an equal standing with
other powers, and they are bending all
their efforts to conduct the war in such a
manner as to give~no opportunity to any
body to criticise their behavior toward
prisoners and wounded. And l can assure
you honestly that the Japanese felt sorry
for the loss of Makagoff. for they preferred
beating the Russians with their best man
alive and active. -
Naturally We ntfng here are all more or
less biased, andnIs honestly doubt whether
in this case, Or for that matter, in any
similar case, people can be absolutely I'M
biased. / have tried and failed, and gave
it up as something beyond me; but maybe
people in America cam do better"

efforts being made to- secure money for the
fund established for the widows and chill
dren of soldiers lost at the front One of
the latest plans SIS the issuance of SOU

proceeds going toi the benefit of the fund
