with Algeria is not large, but it is considerable

We must, of course. expect France to, have
the lions share of Algerian trade. just as we
aim to have the bulk of trade with our outlying
possessions But if the extension of French In

country's trade comparable with that which mas
occurred under like influence in Algeria ana

It's dollars to doughnuts" that the attempt
to reach Chicago from New York in balloon
which merely drifts with the wind will prove
a dismal failure If the programme were changed
so as to provide for voyage from Chicago to
some point the Atlantic coast there would
be much better prospect of success. All OF the
great long distance records in America and
Europe have been made by taking advantage
of the upper current of atmosphere. which sets
steadily in eastery direction and moves at
the rate of thirty forty miles an hour To
travel westward 1t would be necessary to rely
surface winds The chance that these would
blow from the same quarter for a distance ike
a thousand miles is about in 153,OOO,Ooo!

ASPARAGUS is IN THE VAN.
Precedes the Other Fresh Vegetables
That Spring Affords.

Asparagus is the precursor OF the
season of fresh vegetables, and there
is probably no other vegetable the
flavor OF which is so highly esteemed
as is that OF tender asparagus. Chem
ical analysis offers no explanation
OF its pleasant flavor, but assigns to
It decidedly high nutritious value.
Asparagus, however, furnishes one of
those interesting examples Of food
which, though containing more water
in its composition than does milk,
is nevertheless a solid substance.
Thus the head Of the asparagus con-
tains slightly more than 93 per cent
of water, which is only ! per cent
less than that contained in the let
tuce. but per cent. more than is
present In milk. The solid constit-
uents, however, are particularly rich
In nitrogenous substances, which
amount to 80 per cent. of the dried
vegetable.
Among these may be reckoned a
purin body, TO which has been as
cribed the harmful influence of as
paragus on some persons with a gouty
tendency. When asparagus is con-
sumed in large quantities the output
OF uric acid is very distinctly in
creased. The same effect is obtained
after drinking copiously of beer,
which also contains purin bodies, al
though they are entirely absent in
wines, and, of course, in spirits.
Sweetbread may be Objectionable on
similar grounds. There is no reason
for thinking. however, that when as
paragus is eaten in reasonable guam
titles it causes an undesirable dis
turbance of the bodily functions. On
the contrary, it is very digestible and
is easily tolerated, even by invalids

LAYING or RAILS IS BEGUN.
New Pacific Coast Extension Is TAX
ing Shape.

The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
road has begun the laying Of steel
on its new Pacific coast extension.
The rails are TO be laid from Glen
ham, a point on the Aberdeen and
EEarts division. in South Dakota, 10
Flora. on the Missouri river. y miles
above ETarts. from where the coast
line VIII proceed. The grading on this
stretch is already completed, and the
construction work viii be pushed as
rapidly as possible
So far the ST. Paul people have ex-
perienced little difficulty in securing
enough laborers to carry on the work
as planned, and the management is
congratulating itself upon this fact.
A high official Of the company ex-
pressed the belief that the publicity
given to the building Of the extension
is In a large measure responsible for
this happy state OF affairs.
We have had little difficulty in Sc
curing workmen TO carry out our
plans" said high official OF the st.
Faul road. Il attribute this to the
fact that much publicity has been
given 10 our plans. and those who
want work know that we have it to
offer. We have not given. orders TO
hire any particular number of men.
Our Instructions are to employ all that
can be secured"
While the actual laying OF steel on
the eastern end Of the extension has
begun, and the plans for the line west
OF the Bitter Root mountains are al
ready completed, nothing is known OF
the route across Montana farther west
than Butte. Officials declare that the
Montana route between Butte and the
crossing Of the Bitter Root mountains
is not yet decided.

At last man has learned to live
without air. Sodium peroxide, one Of
the newer products Of electrolysis, is
a compound of sodium with oxygen
that decomposes in the presence of
damp carbonic acid. The value Of this
substance may be gathered from the
fact that man can live in an alright
box as long as any sodium peroxide re-
mains unconverted. It is suggested
that, by means Of sodium peroxide.
submarine boats will be able to re-
main under water for considerably
longer periods than hitherto has been
possible. Just how long will be a
matter Of calculation. the factors in
the calculation being the amount Of
oxygen converted into carbonic acid
by one man in one hour. the number
Of men present, and the weight Of
peroxide that can be carried. Used In
mines. it should enable a miner to
live with his head literally IN a bag
Of india rubber containing this perox-
ide. whereby he can tide over a period
Of danger.

The eye OF the eagle and Of other
birds OF prey, is different from the hu-
man eye In several respects. We can
knot look at the sun without danger OF
running our sight. but the eagle can
look at It, not only without danger.
but without pain. Nature has provided
the birds eyes with thin skin. or
membrane. inside the lids. which It
can draw down at Will. thus protecting
the eyeball. while not interfering Sc
riously with vision. The eagle has
also the, power OF adjusting the focus
Of its eyes so that il can see as well as
great distance as It can near the OBJ
sect. It can see its prey as distinctly
from the height Of mile above the
earth as 1t can only few rods away.
All this is merely a part OF the great
scheme Of self-protection that nature
has arranged for her creatures.--Chi-
