COFFEE DRINKING

In my opinion" says a well known German
physician, mo one can trutilfully say that cof-
fee agrees with him. as ii has long since been
proven that caffeine, contained in coffee is an
injurious, poisonous substance which weakens

Fer this reason the regular Use of coffee SOON

HUNTING THE LOCUST.
Where it is Necessary to Garry on

Once year there Is locust hunt
II the rice-growing districts of the
Philippines. 1t Is not all pure sport,
though the Filipino makes frolic Of
1t. for unless an organized war Of
determination was regularly car
ried on against them, the little pests
would not only eat the rioe felds
bare in a few days, but devour every
green thing down to the waters
edge. AS the time draws near for
the appearance of the locusts watch
ers are stationed in the fields, and
as soon as the larva is discovered
word is carried to the presidente Of
the village, who Immediately issues
proclamation calling on every man,
woman and Child in the district to
assemble in the public square next
morning, prepared to wage war on
the common foe.
The rolling of a drum soon after
sun-up is the signal for The whole
population to gather at the rendez-
vous. After a solemn mass and pray

Then everybody, including the
musicians, fall to work on the young

laughing and singing snatches of
popular airs at the tops of their

upon the wet fields, until thick,
white steam rises; but still the
steady swish of the WHIPS goes>en.

TIE FoUK-DAY BOAT.
Its Advent May Soon Be Expected
Say Steamship Mem

In her latest run from New York
to Queenstown, the Mauratania made
the distance between Sandy Hook
light house and Daunt's Rock in five
seys and five minutes, traVersins
what is known as the long route. OF
about 2,932 knots. The best pre-
vious record for the eastward voyage
made by the same vessel. was beat
en- by two and one-half hours.
It Is within the recollection OF
men yet young. that IL days was
considered a remarkable record Tor
the voyage from New York to
Queenstown, and a prediction that
d steamship would make the trip in
approximately five days. would have
been considered preposterocs. The
5OO-foot boat was, at the time OF IT'S
advent considered practically the
limit, observes the Rochester Demo
crat and Chronicle. 1t reduced the
time Of the voyage nearly to one-half
of that occupied by the earlier stea nj
ships, which were approximately
only one-half the size. The intro
duction of steel construction was
doubtless the most important ad-
vance in the art of ocean-going vessel
construction, and ushered In a new
era. The enormous increase In
ocean travel also stimulated competl'
ton, and the evolution from the OLD.
style packet. with It's auxiliary sail
power, to the great modern flyer, is
the production of the fast express
steamers.
The Introduction Of the modern
steam turbine has been potent fac-
tor IN the increase In speed and the
advent of the five-day boat. While
the economical features ot the steam
turbine have not been fully worked
out, and its comparative commercial
v,lue settled, 1t is in present favor.
its efficiency in enabling high speeds,
with large vessels, having been ap-
parently established.
In view of the accomplishment py
the Mauretania, marine constructors
are now confidently predicting the ad-
vent of four day ocean Jerry. Ar
rangements have already been made
for the construction Of two turbine
driven express steamers, each 1000
feet long, and it Is considered not
unlikely that within the next three
cl four years a New Yorke- can Voy-
age to London, tr: nsact days bus
Less, and return home again within
the time occupied but lew years
ago in tho voyage from Sandy Hook
