POTATOES IN FRANCE.
Pa-mentier's Willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.

Pa-mentier's Willy Plan to Kill the
Prejudice Against Them.
The way in which Parmentier Gre
ated a demand for potatoes in France
would have done credit to the wiliest
of willy tradesmen. Nothing would at
first induce the simple minded peas
ants to cultivate the popular tuber.
They would not listen to lectures on
its virtues nor accept seed potatoes
free Of cost Tor planting.
Parmentier therefore decided to get
the better OF their prejudice by artifce
and with this object leased as much
land as he could round Paris and plant
ed it with potatoes. Just before the
ripening Of the crop he posted watch
ers round the fields and issued notices
that all persons stealing potatoes
would be severely punished, the crop
being intended for the tables Of the
king and mobiles.
Such delicacies, continued the notice,
were too good for ignorant peasants.
who would touch them at their peril.
OF course watch was only kept during
the day, and at night the fields were
robbed right and left by the peasants,
who were curious to taste the strange
vegetable and jealous that it should be
reserved for their betters.
As soon as they had tasted the sue
culent tubers the piiferers were only
too anxious to plant as many as they
could possibly purchase, the willy Par
uentier's scheme thus succeeding be-
yond the most extravagant anticipa-
tons.

THE FIRST zoo.
China, II Seems, Counts That Among
Her Many Records.

China, It Seems, Counts That Among
Her Many Records.
The Chinese had the first zoo. Men
ageries are thought to owe their ori-
gin partly to the cult of sacred ami
mails, and partly to the ambition Of
rulers to possess specimens of rare and
valuable creatures from foreign lands
or savage beasts from their own. In
the simplest forms geological gardens
were one Of the earliest Developments
Of culture and were familiar to the
Chinese. Indians, Greeks, Romans and
.pre-Span;Sh MeNicans in ancient times.
The Oldest recorded menagerie is Chi
rese. dating from 1850 8. c. The den
Of lions kept by Darius, as described
in the book OF Daniel, is an example
of one of those primitive menageries,
while the cult OF sacred white horses
Dy the ancient Greeks and Romans
and that Of so called white elephants
in Burma and Siam are instances OF 4
second type. 4 live giraffe was re-
ceived at the menagerie Of Schonbrunn
as early as 1928.
The Paris establishment is regarded
as the earliest entitled to the designa-
ton geological gardens in the mod
ern sense Of that term, which owes its
origin, however, to the formation OF
the menagerie IN the Regents par.i.
OF German establishments Of this sort
the one at Berlin is the earliest.
American ZOOS, notable among Which
is New York and Chicago are among
the completest in the world. E1-

NutrimenS OF Bacon.

Professor Snyder Of the Minnesota
food station gave in report some rea-
sons why bacon should become popu-
lar. In reference to a testhe says that
bacon was cut In thin slices and baked
or broiled in the oven until crisp and
brown. All the fat which was cooked
out was saved and eaten with the
bread and other foods which made up
the daily fare.
On an average about 80 per cent OF
the protein and e6 per cent Of the fat
Of the ration containing bacon We're
digested and about IS per cent of the
energy was available Calculated val
ues for bacon alone showed over 90
per cent protein and e6 per cent digest
ible fat, figures which compare favor
ably with those which have been OBJ
tanned for other animal foods.
Lean bacon contains as much pro-
TEN and about twice as much digest
bic fat as other meats says Professor
SNYDER, making it at the same time
and even at a higher price Z pound
a cheaper food than other meats. Ba
con fat is easily digested, and whe.
combined with other foods it appear;
to exert favorable mechanical action
upon digestion

Roman House Heaters.

The methods used by the Romans for
warming their houses were clever. In
Rome itself artificial warmth may have
been brought rarely into use, though
the Italian winter requires fires at
times, but when the Roman took up
his abode abroad as the conqueror ne
certainly lived in chilly climates. In
the country houses be built in England
he had carefully devised heating ar
rangements, which are called hypo-
causts. These are dues running un-
der the tessellated floors. Fires were
lit outside Of the house. and the hot
air passed under the floors. TO do
this much required Z knowledge OF
the builders art. with the necessary
precautions against Ere. Remnants OF
these hypocaustS are foCnd today In
England, ,uiit during the Roman oc'

DRUGGISTS GLOBES.

How the colors In the Window Em-
hlems Are Produced.
t1The big glass globes filed with col
ored water which were once in the
front windows of every drug store are
not seen now as frequently as of old, y
said q drug clerk to reporter.
"Of course many are still in use, but
in the readjustment Of the window
displays in drug stores by reason OF
the installation Of the electric light
they have been displaced. With the
old gas jet arrangement there were
but two or three separate illumina-
tons, mostly placed behind the globes
in question.
The colored contents Of these globes
and their chemical constituents are q
mystery to most persons, and I have
had ladies ask me if they contained
colored perfumes. The globes are
made In all sorts Of fancy and elabo'
rate shapes and designs. Some are
costly. Their history is buried in an
tiquity, but as they contain chemical
compositions they were primarily, as
they are now, the emblem Of the chem

ly colored by chemical admixtures and
are composed Of such chemicals that
they Will Withstand the rays Of the
sun and not fade The exquisite pale
green, which is one Of the popular Sc
lections Of co!oring, is a solution OF
nitrate Of nickel, and most persons will
be surprised to learn that it is derived
from dissolving the common five cent
nickel piece in nitric acid. y few five
cent nickel pieces dissolved in this acid
will produce enough coloring body to
tinge several gallons of water and give
a coloring which is most pleasing to
The eyes.
The red, which is also a very bright
beautiful and permanent color and
which shows very effectively both by
day and when Illuminated at night, is
made from resublimated OF metallic
iodine The blue is made from sui
phate Of copper and ammonia, and the
yellow is produced by an admixture Of
bichromate Of potash and sulphurtc
acid. Any person can make these
beautiful colorings, especially the green,
but as the acids used are very power
full it is best to have them prepared by
a chemist, as q drop of nitric acid on
the hand will eat hole in the flesh.
"In fact, even druggists make mis-.
takes. I remember one who tried to
get a fine new color that other drug
gists didn't have, so he mixed tincture
of chloride Of iron with antipyrin. II
did, in fact, make fine color in the
globes, but when the suns rays rested
on it for "a few hours explosive gases
were generated, which sent the globes

WHALES that FENCE.
The Male Narwhai Uses Its Eight
Foot Tooth as = Sword,

The Male Narwhai Uses Its Eight
Foot Tooth as a Sword.
Who ever heard Of whales fencing
with one anothcr-just for amusement
apparently? This may seem very
strange. but it is nevertheless true.
There are whales that not only fence
with one another, but use their teeth
for swords Some whales have no
teeth, but instead of teeth have great
sheets Of whalebone hanging from the
roof Of the mouth, others have their
great jaws filed with terrible tcetn,
while one kind, the narwhal. has o''e
two teeth.
One of the teeth of the male narWhai
grows through the upper lip ana LOOKS
like a spear projecting in front OIL tne
animal Sometimes both teeth grow
ont in this way, but that is not often
+he case This tooth is frequently
eight feet in length, and it is with this
powerful tooth or spear that the mar.
vhal does his fencing.
No one seems to know Of what use
such big tooth is to the narwhal
Some say it is used for digging the
mud in the bottom Of the ocean to
scare out the fish that may be lurking
there. Others think it is used in spear
ing the fish or for breaking holes
through the ice in the northern seas in
winter, for whales have to come to the
surface occasionally to breathe. But,
for whatever use it is intended, It is
certain the whale derives amusement
from his tooth, for when be wants to
play he Ends another narwhal II the
same playful, moos, and away they 80
clashing sworLs-or teeth-together.
Besides being very frolicsome, they
are very active for such big animals,
and sailors have watched them cross
ing swords, thrusting and parrying,
rolling, turning and darting with much
agility.
IN traversing the ocean they form IN
ranks like soldiers, and with similar
fluctuations Of the body and sweeps CT

gether.
The narwhal is light gray in color
and covered with black spots. The
GreenlandcrS value it highly for many
reasons. It's oil is Of a very fine quail

skin is made into a jelly called mattak,

THE OCEAN LINER.
Safety Devices That Are Operated
From the Bridge.

From the Bridge.
1t is in its safety devices and the
provision made to meet every possible
accident that the ocean liner is perhaps
most remarkable. All the machinery
which may be set in motion in case of
danger is centered on the bridge, and
so perfectly has it been arranged that
the entire vessel conld be controlled
# the necessity should arise by means
Of a series Of levers and push buttons.
About the walls of the wheelhouse are
arranged curious looking indicators,
much the same as one sees behind the
desk Of 4 great hotel. About them are
hung q surprising variety Of baronle-
terS, thermometers, thermostats, wind
and rain gauges and other less familiar
looking instruments. There are rows
upon rows Of buttons and levers on
every hand, all highly polished and in
the most perfect working order. The
danger Of fire at sea. for instance, is
anticipated by q thermostat connected
with the frame filed with little squares
like the hotel Indicator. There are.
thermometers in every part of the ship
electrically connected with this DoH
which are constantly on guard. II q
sre should start in any part Of the
great ship tAe temperature would or
course rise, and the fact would instant
" be announced in the wheelhouse by
the ringing Of bell, while red light
would fash at the same time in one Of
the SQUARES Of the indicator. The man
at the wheel could tell at glance the
exact point Of danger.-Francis Arnold

Ancient and Rare Volumes Doctored,
Restored and Initiated.
A we'll known collector acquired
what he took to be a book published
by Aldus in the year 1889. He paid
$1,000 for it and believed that it was
an original !Aldus, because the publish
er's press mark, dolphin coiled round
an anchor, appeared upon it. When
the book was shown to an expert it
proved to be beyond shadow Of
doubt a modern antique-that is to
say, it was simply copy Of the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
fakir. So clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell it from
the original and rare book. Scores Of
persons during recent years have
bought facsimiles Of rare works under
the impression that they were getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday In
der Three Heads has been faxed
many times and sold as original to
collectors who no doubt treasure them
as rarities. Genuine copies Of this
little book are worth q good sum, and
some unscrupulous dealers, taking ad-
vantage Of the circumstances, have
had it reprinted and palm off the
copies on unsuspecting bibliomaniacs
for the genuine first edition.
Many men make living by "doc-
toring" old and rare books for IN
scrupulous dealers. These men are

of an imperfect copy. For instance,
If rare book has leaf missing it IS

the paper upon which it is printed be-
Ing afterward discolored with chem
Icals or tobacco water in order to give
it the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare is, of
course, of great value, and it Is safe
to say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting up copies
Of this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture Of first folio Shakespeares
was quite a trade. a first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves in
serted from the second folio, While in
one case the entire play Of "Cymbe-
line" was reprinted and inserted in q
first folio. The "faked' pages were
so cleverly done that several experts
were ct first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages Of the
work in question. Book restorers, as
rule, are most ingenious artists, and
they can produce an imitation Of a
page Of q rare book which will deceive
hundreds Of collectors. One particu-
lar restorer has "doctored" more than
thousand old books during the last
two years, producing pages in facsim-
lie and supplying colopions or deco
rated capitals. There is not a thing
wanting to make book complete that
this man cannot skillfully "fake."-

w,v, ~ the Flyino Fish,

Flying fish swim in shoals varying
in number from dozen to hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once, darting through the air in the
same direction for 200 yards or more
and then descend to the water quickly
rising again and then renewing their
fight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit, taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining up,
on his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fms at all as wings
is not fully decided. The power OF
fight is limited to the time the hns
remain moist

rne poet and the ncautr.

One Of the finest houses in southern
England is Penhurst Place, the birth
place Of Sir Philip Sidney. Under the
trees of its park Edmund Waller paid
his addresses to the naughty Lady
Dorothea, whom he celebrated as Sach-
arissa. But the heart Of Lady Dorothea
Sidney-who was the most beautiful
woman Of her time-Was untouched by
Walters amatory verses, and she re-
jected the poet in favor Of the Earl Of
Sunderland Many years afterward the
countess met Waller and, reminding
him sentimentally Of the old days at
Penhurst asked him when he would
again write verses about her. "When,
madam" said the poet rudely, you are
as young and as handsome as you were
then.'

Properties of Chlorine.

Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas
with a disa greeable smell. It is solu-
bic in cold water, only Slightly soluble
in hot water 1t destroys color in wet
fabrics and is also strong disinfect-
ant. Both Of these properties are said
to be due to its power Of decomposing
hydrogen compounds, such as water,
combining with the hydrogen and liber.
ating oxygen, which in nascent state
oxidizes coloring matter, rendering 1t
colorless. As a disinfectant it oxidizes
the germs Of disease and-is in conse
