New York, Sept. IL. Chairman
Shonts, of the Panama canal commits
sion, announced that he had awarded
a concession for feeding and housing
the greater part of the canal en-
ployes to ]. F. Markell of Omaha,
Neb. Following a months visit to
Panama, Mr.. Markell has worked out
a comprehensive scheme, which in
cludes the early establishment of ten
hotels along the canal and railroad,
each of them to accommodate from
$50 to $50 dodgers, and twice as many
diners. These hotels, it is declared,
will compare favorably with the bet
ter class of commercial hotels in this
country and viii be used chiefly by
the higher salaried employees.
For the laborers employed in the
canal or in any way identified with
that project the concessionaire viii
art first establish twenty commissary
camps and later 100 additional ones,
each with kitchen and dining rooms.
Laborers will have the privilege of
buying their food cooked or uncook-
ed at these camps, and in either case
will be furnished with the necessary
table appointments

HOW MlkADo APPEARS.

Describing the personal appearance
of the Emperor of Japan, writer
says: His hair is coarse and black,
except for a touch of gray at the tenn
pies, and is brushed well up from his
forehead. The large nose, the full
nostrils, the lips thick without being
sensuous, and the heavy under jaw,
convey an impression of iron deter
minatfon and tenacity of purpose. He
wears a heavy mustache and chin
whiskers. Last, but not least, are the
eyes, lustrous, dark, intelligent, and
of piercing keenness. They peer forth
from under a high brow, and in their
swiftly changing expression are at
once an index and a revelation of the
personality shining through them"

that if they will buy Defiance Cold

Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a

a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

FRUITFUL FURNACES.
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded in Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
the CrucibIe of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state

ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies. He employs for this pur
pose the electric furnace, which haa
been SO improved that a degree Of
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures. which were I'M
doubtedly factor in the formation of
minerals and gems in the interior Of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series of
new compounds. Probably the one of
most value to mankind at large is Cal
cium Carbide. The simple applica-
ton Of water to Calcium Carbide gen.
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light

Protection for Ruins

Great Britain's government has de-
cided to secure and protect for the
nation the ancient ramparts erected
by Edward 1, around the town of Ber-
wick-on-Tweed. These ruins are of
great antiquarian and historical value.
They form one of the most interesting
monuments of the bitter strife that
existed for centuries between England
and Scotland, as they are situated
right on the border. The walls in

But Mrs. French Sheldon got down

WORTH REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties of baking
powders on the market, viz:-(I Min.
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (3) Cream Of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint of health. to
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
(1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from kind of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution product is obtained
which Is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to Csc. pound. =,
(2) Bone-Acid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac-
turer of phosphate powder The U.
s. Patent ONCE Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
Ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound
(3) Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the Juice
from the press in the manufacture OF
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask boil
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
OF Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t differs in
no respect from the form In which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
Of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive. is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as Its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream OF
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a
pound are made of MineralAcids;
those selling from 20 to 30 cents of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream Of Tartar made from
grapes.

FIXING RAILROAD RATES.

Making railroad rates As iihe play
ing game OF checkers or chess. Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided
represent the pieces used Every pos.
sible move is studied for its eject
on the general result by skilled traf-
hc managers. A false move In the
making of freight rates may mean the
ruin of city, of great manufactur-
ing interest, of an agricultural com
munity. Railroads strive to build up
ali these so that each may have an
equal chance In the sharp competi-
ton of business. So sensitive to this
rivalry are the railroads that in order
to build up business along their lines
they frequently allow the shipper 10
practically dictate rates. Rate max
ing has been a matter Of development
OF mutual concessions for mutual
benefit. That is why the railroads of
the United States have voluntarily
made freight rates so much lower in
this country than they are on the
government-owned and operated rail-
ways of Europe and Australia that
they are now the lowest Transports
ton rates in the world.
