Whale Flesh or Beef?

Whale meat at from three to six
cents a pound is to be the solution of
the meat trust question, according to
some Newfoundland spectators who
are seeking to make a market for
whale meat.
1t is declared that the flesh Is finer
favored than beef, more nearly sug-
costing venison, and Is capable of be-
ing prepared in variety of ways
Whales are not to be found in this
part of the globe in sufficient NUM-
bers to make serious inroad into
the sale Of beef, but it is declared by
the promoters that they have already
built up a successful trade in whale
meat with the West Indies, and that
they shortly intend placing it upon the
London market.
1t Is to be shipped in special steam
ers. and even at price OF six cents a
pound will return handsome profit,
while the cheaper cuts may be re.
tailed for half that sum.

town:

year-old Grape-Nuts boy.
'Since he was 2 years old he has eat

day. This may seem rather unusual,
but he does not care for anything else
after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts,
which he uses with milk or cream, and
then he is through with his meal Even
on Thanksgiving Day he refused tur-
key and all the good things that make
up that great dinner, and ate his dish
of GrapeNuts and cream with the best
results and none of the evils that the
other foolish members Of the family
experienced.

e Paws to Advertise,


When James Gordon Bennett the
elder was editor of the Herald. Rob-
ert Bonner, publisher Of the New York
Ledger, was struggling to build up It's
circulation, and decided to try little
advertising. He wrote an announce
ment consisting Of eight words: Tread
Mrs. Southworth's New Story in the
Ledger" and sent 1t to the Herald
marked for zone line" Mr.. Bonner's
handwriting was SO bad that the
words were read In the Herald Office
IS lone page" Accordingly the line
was set UP and repeated SO as to oc-
cupy one entire page. Mr.. Bonner
was thunderstruck the next morning.
He had not to his name money enough
In the bank to pay the bill. He rushed
excitedly over to the Herald Office,
but was too late to do any good.
In a short time the results Of the
page announcement began to be felt
Orders for the Ledger poured in until
The entire edition was exhausted and
another one was printed. The sue
cess OF the Ledger was then estab-
ished. Ever after that time Mr.. Bon
ner was an ardent believer in adver-
Using and liberal purchaser Of space.

All paths will bring US, were to lose our

In blowing bubbles, even as children do
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us

Broken among our childhood's toys. for

And mail ourselves in manhood. and

Upon US from the vast and MINDLESS

Those cleaner thoughts that are unto

~ the InduosuaAnt.
Niagara Falls, August THE vol
ume Of water being diverted from the
historic Niagara Falls is4reaching such
proportions that the people OF the State
are trying to pass laws which will pro-
vent the possibility Of practical wiD-
ing out Of this sublime natural sDac-
tacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
Eve hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, Is now be-
Ing taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
curing moro water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user Of the cleo
tricity produced by the waters of the
mighty river Is the concern which by
the five or six thousand degree heat Of
the electric furnace brings lime and
coke into unwilling union, thereby pro-
ducing what is known as Calcium Car
bide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so
much broken rock, but in contact with
water it springs into activity and be-
gets abundantlJ the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
Of acetylene is the nearest approach to
sunlight known.
These facts, though Of comparatively
recent discovery, were soon seized by
men with an eye to the commercial
possibilities and to-day calcium carbide
is being shipped everywhere and used
for dispelling darkness in buildings of
all descriptions, from the ordinary barn
Of the farmer to the country villa Of
the wealthy, as well as for lighting
the streets Of large number of towns
Acetylene can be easily and cheaply
installed. and the manufacture and sale
Of acetylene generators has become a
business Of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is stead
