CONSUL GENERAL ROBERT P.
SKINNER, Of Marseilles, was asked
My a California correspondent to ascer-
tain by what method French glace or
preserved cherries are dyed, as they COM
mand a higher price than California cher
ries In the American market solely on ac-
count OF color" The Inquirer adds that
French cherries possess "a beautiful deep
red color that is bright and clear, although
they lack the flavor of the home grown
fruit. We could increase our sales many
fold II we could color our cherries arti-
fcially as they do in France" Mr.. Skin
ner replies
French candied cherries are first
bleached with sulphurOus acid and then
dyed in the course Of manufacture with an
aniline preparation known commercially
as rose nouveau In former times car
mine powders made Of cochineal were
used, and are stu IN use in a limited way

Glass That Keeps Out Heat.

An Austrian inventor, Richard Szig-
mondy, is reported to have made new
kind of window glass whose chief pc
culiarity is that it prevents the pass
age of nine-tenths of the heat Of the
suns rays.
1t is we'll known that ordinary win
dow glass allows nearly all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand. intercepts all
heat coming from non-luminous
sources, such as a stove or the heated
ground. This is the reason why heat
accumulates under the glass roof of a
dollhouse.
If covered with Szigmondy's glass a
dollhouse would, it is claimed, become
q cold house, since the heat could not
get into 1t. One advantage set forth
In favor of the new glass is that a
house whose windows were furnished
with 1t would remain delightfully."- cool

The Sunday rowdy is one of the

ances in New York. He makes life
miserable for many persons Whose
only holiday is Sunday and whose only
means of escaping from the heat and
noise of the city is the public trans.
portation system. 1t is impossible to
find any defense for the Sunday
rowdy. He may be explained as an
overdeveloped physique with an I'M
derdeveloped mind. This year the

ure to perform their duties in the
past is largely responsible for the con.
ditions that exist-appear TO be max.

GAMBLING CHECKED
EASTERN FARMERS DRIVE III
OUT OF OKLAHOMA.
Violators of the Law Put in Jail
and Kept There-Public SEN
timent Is Strong Against
Gaming.

To-day there are not five toGns in
Oklahoma of any Importance where
gambling is conducted openly, as it
was six years ago. AS late as three
years ago the biggest games ever seen
In the territory were running in Okla.
homa City, though confined to upper
floors or easements. During the last
two months, says the Kansas City
Star, all the boss gamblers in Okla
homa City upon whom the law could
lay its hands have been put in Jail and
kept there. They had violated injunc-
tons prohibiting them from using Ger.
tain buildings for gambling purposes.
Guthrie has been without its big
games for more than a year.
The change is due to activity among
religious organizations, public senti-
ment that rests upon practical as we'll
as moral grounds and to the displace-
ment of certain adventurous pioneer
citizens by more conservative men and
women from older communities. The
explanation of an old time boss gam
bier, a man who came to Oklahoma
at the opening, may not be without in
terest. He said
I'm my town in earlier years, when
gambling was under full Roadway, the
producers were mostly farmers.
These farmers were western men who
had been with the vanguard of west
ern sentiment all their lives. They
had no more hesitancy in gambling
than they had in smoking a cigar or
taking a drink of whisky. They had
been accustomed to it all their lives.
when one came to town with a load
Iof wheat he put the money in his
pocket, took his team to livery
stable and went to a restaurant or
hotel. Usually he would stay in town
Iall night. After supper he would take
a few drinks and then saunter around
to gambling house, always within
easy reach and without danger OF
raids. In many instances he went
home broke.
"The agricultural prosperity in Okla
homa in the last ten years brought q
great advance in the value of farm
property. Farmers from eastern and
northern states began coming to Okla
homa with bank accounts. The orig
inal settler was offered $4,000, $4,000
and sometimes as high as $4,000 for
his quarter section of land, which to
him seemed more than the land was
worth, and | sold it and moved to
other localities. The new owners had
practiced economy all their lives
They had lived in communities where
gambling was not tolerated.
when these farmers come to town
they bring produce with their wheat
Or corn, and basket of lunch to save
going to a restaurant. They deposit
their money in a bank. Instead oil
taking their horses to a livery stable
unless the weather is bad, they feed
them from a wagon box. This kind OF
thing is not profitable for the gam
bling business, but it has happened in
my portion of the territory and l be
ieve that it has happened elsewhere.
