1t is common for the peon to get
large portion of his living during the
tuna season from the plants as they
stand in the feld. A large part of the
crop is therefore consumed directly
from the plants.
The solid matter in the fruit is
about an average Of that found in
other fruits. Like all other fruits the
amount of solids differs for the diff
ferent varieties, amounting to from
5.33 to 11.60.
It is seldom that one can get any
idea Of the amount of boiling and
evaporating to which the tuna juice
is subjected by talking to the men
who make the Queso. Fortunately
in 1905, an opportunity was had to
visit Los Campos in season. Through
the kindness of Senior Enrique Guerra
a day was spent at the queso factory.
At six o'clock in the morning of the
day spent at the factory the kettles
were charged with 65 gallons of the
Juice Of tuna cardona, portion of
which had been seeded the night be-
fore. A brisk fire was started at the
same time of wood of the same species
of prickly pear. During the day 25
gallons more of the juice were added
as evaporation proceeded. The evap.
Grafton was carried on very slowly
and somewhat irregularly until eight
o'clock in the evening. But little at
tention was paid to the kettle until
toward evening, when the juice was
constantly stirred. The juice was Sc
cured from $50 gallons of peeled tunas
from which the rind had been com
pletely removed the shrinkage in
seeding being very largely due to the
bulky seed. The melcocha which
was kneaded into Queso the next day
measured II gallons and weighed $50
pounds.
A very distinctive feature Of the
markets of the different cities Of the
highland region of Mexico is the
space or booths assigned to the sale
of the tunas. The business is general
ly carried on by the poorer population
in the most simple and primitive way.
Not that the poor are the only ones
who eat them, but they are eaten
more extensively by the poorer class
than any other. One of our illustra.
tons gives a good idea Of the appear
ance Of the tuna markets.
BY far the greater amount of fruit
is sold unpeeled. This is especially
true during the season when fruits
are not abundant, for less waste at
tends it.

UNDERGROUND Electric Railway.

In order to facilitate, and accel-
crate at the same time, the collection
and delivery of letters and packages
in Vienna, the ministry Of commerce
is engaged upon plan for an under
ground electric railway which would
link together the chief and various
district post Offices of the city, some
GA in all.
According to the plans which are
now under discussion, the line would
be built 25 feet below the surface Of
the ground, and the tunnel would
have height of five feet and a
breadth of four feet four inches. The
stations would be built underneath
the post offices. The trains would run
at 20 miles an hour, and would con-
sist Of a motor and three cars, each
carrying as much as the ordinary
post van.
1t is estimated that seven years
would be required for the construc-
ton of the line. While it would cost
an enormous sum of money, in the
long run the line could be operated
for much less than the present horse
and wagon service, while the mails
could be handled in less than half the
time now required for the purpose.

SOME COLOSSAL FIGURES
Former Secretary of Treasury Shaw
Sounds Note of Warning
to Country.
UNIVERSAL SANITY NECESSARY NOW
MIR. 3haw Believes Some Check in
Speed at Which We Are Going is
Desrahe-Vast Value of Products
of Farm and Factories of the
Country.

New York, Aug. 2O-Leslie NJ. Shaw
former secretary of the treasury, au-
Jhorized the following interview on
the present financial and Industrial
conditions Sunday:
Our farms produce more than So
500,000,000 per annum and the pros
pect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than 81, 500, 900 900
and our forests more than 81 ,000 000,-
900. And neither of these sources Of
wealth has been exhausted. The out
put of our factories in other than
food products $4,000, 100000 and no
fires have been extinguished. The
railways earn more than $4,000 600, 900
and they are all in successful opera
ton. The payrolls of our factories
and railways aggregate approximately
$3,500,000, 600 and the scale of wages
Shas not been reduced. In other words,
the real sources of the peoples wealth
have@n not yet been affected and the
ability of Industrial concerns to pay
dividends is not measured by the mar
ket price of their stocks. Logical raa-
sons for serious conditions are there
fore wanting. Psychological reasons
are never wanting.
eff 1 judge correctly the people will
have exactly what they expect. If
those who have money in the banks
withdraw it and lock it up; if the
banks refuse to grant accommodations,
and if the consuming public declines
to place orders, then we will very soon
witness the effects. Let those who
think that times of disaster follow
each other at regular intervals bear in
mind that this country never yet ex-
perienced a period of severe depres-
sion that was not traceable to dnan-
! cial or economic agitation or legisla-
| ton, and usually to both.
I'm 1898 the redemption of green
backs in silver instead of gold was
openly advocated; the party in power
! was under promises to remove the
protective tariff from our industries
and the free coinage Of silver at the
ration of I6 to 1 was championed by
prominent members of both parties
The country might have survived any
one of these sources of alarm but i
could not survive all three.
cat this time no one questions oul
financial system, and the tariff vii
not be touched for at least Is months
Some check in the speed at which
we are going is most desirable and The
checking process has probably begun
1t will require a fair measureof con
fdence and courage to prevent undue
retardment in our industries. Capita
cannot be forced into activity, but i
can be forced out of activity. hav,
