passed through Los Angeles today en-

upon his arrival here President Ripley
said he had learned of the identity of

He declared that the entrance of the

According to his knowledge of af-

Experiments Carried on by Santa Fe
Have Been Successful.

San Bernardino, Cal, Feb. 10-The
probabilities are the Santa Fe will
soon adopt residium as a substitute
fuel for crude oil. As recounted some
time ago, the company sent out on the
road an engine with carload of the
working test. The entire carload was
consumed in the experiment and the
results have proven quite satisfactory.
Just when the change is to be made
and whether it will be made so as to
exclude crude oil entirely are of
course. questions which are still to be
determined, and nobody familiar with
the modus operandi of railways will
expect that the orders for the change
will be issued in the immediate future.

FUTURE sUPPIY oF yves.
Serious Question Confronting Those in
Charge of Railway Construction.


Charge OF Railway Construction.
The question of the future supply
and cost of railroad ties is demanding
the attention of the railroad managers.
There are about 620,0OO,O00 cross ties
in use on all the railroads in the
United States and there are being used
annually in extensions and replace
ments between 9O,000,0OO and no.
600, 900 cross ties, requiring annually
the entire product of 100000 acres of
woodland.
Each year the supply of timber is
farther from the base of transporta-
ton and most of the former sources
OF supply have become exhausted
The Pennsylvania railroad manage
ment is looking to the future, and will
begin the task of cultivating timber in
order to provide a supply of cross ties
for its increasing demand in future
years. 1t has already secured 1000
acres of abandoned forest lands at diff
will plant 100000 trees this year. 1t
is estimated that it will take thirty
years to mature the trees, and that it
will require the planting of SO, 600, 900
trees and 100000 acres of land to keep
up a constant supply of cross ties to
meet the Pennsylvania company, de-
mand, and that it will be necessary to
keep on planting new trees each year
The Pennsylvania is now compelled
TO get its supply from inland Virginia,
West Virginia, Kentucky and other
southern states It is now using about
100000 annually.
The United States steel corporation
officials are experimenting in the
manufacture of steel ties, and many
railroad authorities believe that the
cost of steel ties will be cut down to
figure that will permit of their sub
sttCtion for wooden ones, especially
on the eastern roads, taking into con-
sideration the life of a steel tie in COM
par1son with timber.

When the men became worn out the officers called a halt of ten minutes so all could catch up. During our rest we set the leaves on fire and twisted a piece of dough around our ram rods, and held it over the fire In min ute it would cook nicely. Our dough was soon gone after we learned how to cook it. By going this rough mountain trail we got to our destination late that eve ming.
 We were jaded and worn out We lay down to rest, footsore, and in few mig. utes a courier rode up and reported a company of Indians blockading the pike on the mountains four miles above. We were rushed off at double quick time. At the foot of the mountain we came to an old colonial home, with fine farm fenced with rock, an orchard ahd everything de- noting wealth and luxury. Two beautiful young ladies came out as we passed and waived the Yankee flags at us. You can not imagine how mad this made us. We were gentlemen and could not modest a lady, so we passed on and found no In- dians on the mountain. We left the the place the young ladies shook the United States colors at us again. It was late and everything was quiet. We heard some chickens over the rock wall in the front yard.

When the larvae begin to appear the Indians gather from far and near and scrape them up, place the worm like creatures on cloths and racks in the sun and drey them, when they are beaten up and husked, looking then like rice. The Indians call the food koo- chah-bee, and many bushels are collected at this time; that the larvae are nutri- tious is shown by the condition of the Indians. who soon grow fat on the rich diet. Many birds are attracted by the larvae and gorge themselves with the singular food.
 On Lake Texcoco. in Mexico, a curious fly is found which also is eaten by the natives and known as ahuatl; the eggs of the insect, which are deposited on sedges, are also collected and eaten for food. On Lake Chalco certain sedge is cultivated on which the eggs of a spe- ces of fly are deposited. Bundles are made of these and placed in Lake Tex coco for the purpose, and, when covered, the sedge is beaten over pieces of cloth and the eggs secured. These are collect ed and ground into a meal, also called ahuatl, and are in great demand on fast days, when fish is required, the insects or eRRS not Delng cOnSluereu HeSn, as they come from water.

 The civilized man, perhaps, turns from such food with disgust, but 1t is well to remember that epicures in many coun- tries. and especially in England and America. are particularly fond of cheese when inhabitated by the larvae of a very common fly. In the United States the large ouctopus. or squid. common on the Pacific coast offends the American palate, but the Indian, Frenchman or Portuguese eats 1t with avidity and considers 1t deicacy. The meat is clear and white like chicken, and has the flavor of a crab.
 The question of national tastes is an interesting one, and the contrast between those of China and America is remark able. The objects displayed in the Chi nese quarter as dainties are often repug- nant to Americans. We find the China man selling eggs of unknown age, es- pecially duck eggs containing ducklings ready to be matched. Shark fins-a tough, disagreeable food-are in demand, while deer horns in the velvet and lizards or various kinds are eaten. The nest Of the swallow, with is embedded secretion of
