0UADRUPED FREIGHT LINES.
Asia Still Depends Upon the Camel
and Mule as Carriers OF
Shipments.

1t will not be long before railroads
will have pushed we'll into Asia Minor,
and then the center of Asia will begin
to wake up; but to-day 1t is still I'M
possible to ship goods into Turkestan
or Persia or Arabia by any means
other than the caravan, just as goods
were shipped in the days of King Sol
ONION. saws the Detroit Free Press.
If anything, the roads are little
worse than they were then, and a car
AVIAN bound from Teheran or Bagdad
to the interior may be months and
even years on the way.
This fact has made it necessary fol
many an American merchant to study
queer things about story book land in
order to know just how goods should
be packed and shipped out of Amer
lea. so that they will be in the proper
condition for loading on camel and
mule back in the desert towns
whence they start on their strange
voyages.
An American shipper of goods FOL
export into far eastern countries must
know just how much camel can
carry. and over what. kind of a road

CURIOUS COOKING DEVICE
Electric Egg Cookers with Mechanism
for Automatically Pushing Eggs
Out Of Water When Boiled.

There are some things new under the
sun in these days, although in some
cases one does not encounter them On
dry land. Nowhere is one more likely
to encounter oddities of kitchen econ
omy than on the big ocean liners, the
cooks. pursers and stewards Of which
have been busy for the last 60 years de-
vising arrangements for the convenience
Of their work.
Perhaps the most astonishing culinary
outfit is that in the kitchen of the White
Star line steamship Oceanic, which, in a
circular issued recently for the benefit
of American patrons, one OF its paid
writer's takes some pains in describing.
The cooking is done by electricity, so
that there Is absolutely none of the
fumes and odors of wood, coal, petrole-
UNI or gas clinging to the food when it is
served. The little electric stoves are
arranged in rows, somewhat resembling
a typewriter keyboard, and each stove
cooks a certain vegetable, meat, fish,
soup, dessert, or what not. But the odd
est thing of all is the arrangement for
boiling eggs, speaking of which the cir
.cular states: "On another side were
electric egg cookers, which by an in
genious mechanism automatically
pushed the eggs out of the water as soon
as they were boiled" This is without
doubt the most up-to-date wrinkle in
cooking eggs, and the proprietors Of
some of the restaurants would do well
to order a gross at once.

IF JAPAN Is VICTORIOUS
Her Policy in Respect to her Neigh
bors-No yellow Peril" for
Western World.

Even at the outset Of the struggle,
writes D. w. Stevens, the counsellor to
the Japanese legation in Washington, in
Leslie's Monthly, the prophecy may be
heard that If Japan is victorious she will
gain a predominant influence in the af-
fairs of the far east and will use it to the
injury of American and European in
terests. 1t is argued that race affilia-
lions with China and Korea will be ce-
mented. and that the western world will
have to face the yellow Peril" in an
acute and dangerous form. This belief
betrays ignorance of Japan's past and
present policy, as well as of her actual
relations with her neighbors and their
most probable development. Japan's
past policy was shown by the conclusion
of the commercial treaty with China at
the close of the war of 1894, whereby the
field for development Of commerce in
that empire was opened to the whole
world. She entered into the present
struggle primarily for self-protection;
after that for the maintenance Of the
principle of equal opportunity for all
nations" in China and Korea. No one
pretends In her behalf that she is acting
for others, but this fact remains that
her success means the triumph of cause
in which other nations are as vitality
interested as herself.

NO RELIEF FROM RADIUM.
Neither the Blind Nor the Cancerous
Need Expect Relief from
the Rays.

The hopes founded upon radium as
a curative agent are being abandoned,
says a London report. Sixteen cancer
patients were treated with it in the
London hospital, but the only favora-
BILE result has been the cessation OF
pain in some cases, while in others
the patients complain of an increase
in the pain. The experiments have
stopped.
Prof. London, of st. Petersburg, an.
nounced last June that he had dis.
covered that certain blind persons
were able to distinguish objects IL
lumined by the radiuR rays. Under
the direction Of Emperor William
Prof. Green, head Of the Eye hospital
In Berlin, has made an elaborate study
of the effect of radium rays on the
human eye. Prof. Green now pub
fishes a report of his investigation
He finds that blind persons whose
optic nerve is not entirely destroyed
can distinguish objects held before
screen illumined with radium rays
but can distinguish the same objects
equally we'll If instead of screen rem
dered fiuorescent by radium semi
transparent screen lighted from the
back with a petroleum lamp Is used
It can be stated with most absolute
certainty, he says, that the hopes Of
Prof London vanish into thin air, and
that blind persons cannot at present
expect the very slightest hope from
radium.

it will have to travel; for in many
places the roads are over mountain
sides that are so narrow that the size
of the package is Of the utmost I'M
portance.
Thus, shippers in the United States
who do business with the orient have
had to learn that the merchandise
must be packed in tin or zinc-llhed
cases, because it is sure to be sub
jected to fierce storms in the shelterless
trails. They have had to learn that
a camel load is two packages OF 260
pounds each Mules, according to the
caravan drivers tables, can carry two
packages, one on each side, each
weighing 16S pounds.
The packages must not be longer
than four feet, wider than two feet,
deeper than one and one-half feet.
Packages of this size can just scrape
through some of the dizzy defiles lead
ing into wild Asia.

SWEETNESS OF REVENGE.
Young Couple Had a Scheme for En-
joying 1t That Looked Very
Promising.

They did not look like song-and-
dance team, but they said that they
wanted wooden "clogs," writes Elliott
Flower, in the Chicago Post.
"Any particular kind?" asked the
lealer in theatrical supplies.
NO" replied the young man, Eek
cept that we want good, heavy ones"
And Wen have to rely on you en-
tirely," added the young woman. 1--WE
don't know anything at all about such
things"
But your instructor should Nave
given you some idea IS to what you
need" remarked the dealer.
1--WE have no instructor" said the
young man.
Surely you're not going in for clog
dancing without suitable instruction.?
said the dealer.
Were not going in for clog dancing
at all" asserted the young woman.
well, it's no business Of mine, CT
course" said the dealer, very much
mystified, "but there are many varie-
ties of clogs, and could probably suit
you better if knew what you wanted
of them"
''Why, the fact is" explained the
young man, after a glance at che young
woman, we've been living in a fiat
underneath a fellow who has mania
for regular exercise, but who seems to
be a little too tender to take it out OF
doors. Twice day during the last win
ter he has put in fifteen or twenty
minutes in a regular tramp from tho
front parlor, down the hall to the
kitchen and back again, after which
he seems to go through few boxing
or fencing motions that require con-
siderable shifting of feet on the hard
wood floor. He's one Of these fellows
with an exercise fad, and his wife says
it has done him a lot of good, but it
certainly hasn't helped us to enjoy
life"
'But how will the clogs help you?"
"Revenge!D said the young man.
"Revenge!" repeated the dealer. Il
don't see how you can worry him, I'M
less you can walk on the ceiling"
Hes going to move May l." ex-
planned the young man.
what of it?"
"He's going to move into first flat"
"Well?"
"Well, as soon as we found his plans
were made, and his lease signed, we
went to considerable trouble to get the
fiat directly over his new one, and yNl
can bet we're going to need lot OF ex-
ercise during the coming year. Now,
just trot out the heaviest and noisiest
clogs you've got. We've got the daily
exercise fad good and plenty, and we're
going to keep in good physical trim al
any cost to the man underneath"

Secret Stock Transactions.

New Workers look on Washington
as one of the best towns in the United
States in the matter of trading in the
market" said Mr.. George L. Devoe, ac-
cording to the Washington Post.
"There is more secret buying and SELL
ing Of stocks going on in Washington
than In any other city in the country,
for the reason that so many of the men
operating are in the employ of the gov
eminent and are afraid TO be seen in
the brokers' offices Many of these
men are under bond, and one Of the
conditions of their bond is that they
must refrain from specializing and
from playing the races. But this pro-
hibition doesn't keep them from TAX
ing flyer in stocks, only they do 1t in
such a private way that few people
know of their deals, which are trans
acted before and after regular business
hours"

AN INVENTOR OF NEcKWEAR
London Professional Who Devotes His
Time to Devising New Shape
and Ties.

In the East End, right in the heart
of the quarter which has become noto-
rious as the home of the undesirable
alien" there lives and works man
whose occupation finds no entry in any
directory, official or otherwise, says a
London paper. He is professional de-
signer of neckties, and there are prob
ably not more than three or four like
him, working as free lances," in the
country, these men being usually en-
ployed by wholesale scarf manufac-
turers and jealousy guarded. His work
is not, of course, the designing of pat
terms of the materials used, that being
in the hands of artists, but consists in
devising new shapes and styles in ty-
ing or fastening.
The world has moved since the days
of the scarf of the "chest preserver"
type, and many patterns and shapes
have found temporary boom and then
passed out of sight The demand for
new styles is steady and constant and
the "free lance" is always inventing
novelties. He knows his market. for
what would suit one house would not
be adapted to the higher requirements
of another, so that he can always get
a good price for his ideas. To get a
good thing in tie shapes that catches
on is to obtain a monopoly that will be
a profitable undertaking for the firm
that has purchased it. There are hun
dreds of notions that are tried, but very
few of them ever achieve any popular
ity. The most likely ideas, according
to the professional tie designer, are
those that initiate the more expensive
shapes with an economy of material
this enabling the manufacturers to Of
fer to the middle class buyer an article
which assists him to keep up a reputa-
ton for being smartly dressed, and at
the same time keep down expenses.

ODD SAMPLES OF ENGLISH.
Japs Bid for Anglo-American Trade
with Curious Results in the
Advertising Line.

The extent to which Japan is becom'
ing Anglicized is evidenced more OF
less by the ever increasing use Of the
English language there. There are
few large stores in Toxic. states the
New York Herald, which do not exhib-
it some sign or other written in Eng
lish, and the same is true, to less de-
gree, of other large cities in Japan.
At Kioto, for instance, there is
hotel which displays an announcement
reading as follows: "On the dining
time nobody shall be enter to the din
ing and drawing room without the
guests allow"
The municipal ordinances OF thaI
city contain the following specimen Of
English literature: ANY dealer shall
be honestly by his trade. OF course the
sold one shall prepare to make up Tho
safe package"
A Toxic dentist recently sent out
circular written in both Japanese anc
English. The so-called English por'
ton read as follows: "Our tooth is ar
important organ for human life ant

when it is attack by disease or injury

Fortunately for the buyer Of the
wine, the claret is not as bad as the
English.

RUSSIAN PRONUNCIATION.
Some General Rules Which Will HELP
Some When Reading About
the War News.

Numerous correspondents have asked
for Information as to the pronunciation
of the names which figure in the wal
news. 1t would be impossible, says the
New York Tribune, in any brief COM
pass, to give satisfactory rules for pro-
nunciation of Russian names. General.
ly speaking, the vowels are sounded as
follows: "A" as in far" re" as in
met" 'f' as in machine" 20" as in
tone" III" as in rude" Initial 90
often has the sound of "a"
thus "Orloff" is sounded as though
spelled "Arloff" An "e" in q
final syllable often has the sound of "yo'
in yoke" so that "pravezh" is spoken
as though spelled "pravyozh." The con-
sonants have much the same force as in
English-"ch" as in church" Ssh" as
in wish" "kh" as "ch" in the German
''ich," If" as "v," final -" as "ss." So
far as japanese, Chinese and Korean
names are concerned, simpler rules pre-
vail In the original the names are not
spelled at all, but are expressed with
word signs. In English, therefore, they
have been expressed Theoretically. They
are therefore to be pronounced as
they are spelled. Many of them have al
tentative spellings, but these need cause
no uncertainty as to the pronunciation,
since the various spellings all express
the same sounds. Thus Chefoo is also
spelled Chifu. But we need only to re-
member that the 81" in the latter form
has the continental sound Of long &c"
to perceive that both forms are sounded
the same, as though spelled Cheefoo. So
Kinchow is also spelled Kinchau. But
the latter is a German form and in Ger
man Eau" is sounded like low" in Eng
lish.
