We have been hearing great deal
recently In praise of currants, OF the
part they should play In dietary and
of their health giving and nourishing
properties.
IF only the many good qualities OF
this fruit were fully known" said n
famous doctor, "there would be no
danger of overproduction of currants."
He did not go very fully into the sci
entific side of the question, but he did
say that currants are remarkably rich
in the saccharine element in its best
form. In this connection one who also
speaks knowingly Of thc currant says
the saccharin, of which the currant SO
largely consists, is presented In the
form OF grape sugar, food that IL
highly valuable because 1t digests very
easily and quickly and affords real sus-
tenance TO the body.
Then there is also the tartaric acid
of the currant, which gives 1t such a
pleasantly sharp taste. Tartarlc acid
Is a most bealthful and valuable con-
stituent Without 1t currants would
be all sweet, like honey, and 1t would
then be impossible to eat them very
freely and continuously, as we should
soon tire Of them. And. lastly, the
currant contains another very valuable
element--potash. This little item has
perhaps been somewhat overshadowed
by its bigger neighbor the grape sugar,
but currants would fail to be the de-
sirable agent they are In the mainte-
nance of health II potash were nor
present, All foods, then, in which cur
rants appear are to be shown especial
favor by one who wishes to provide
not only richly, but wholesomely, for
the family table.-Fro.a February Epi-
cIrc. Eos:on

a Huge Decrease in Values.

London, March Seldom has the
promise OF legislation worked such
havoc with trade as has the licensing
bill with the brewing interests. Stocks
In all the breweries went down Friday
and Saturday TO very low rates, until
they could not be sold at any price.
The shrinkage in the nominal value of
brewing properties is estimated at
about S25O,OO0O00, The stocks In the
leading companies fell so per cent,
some more, than that, in two days.
There Is panic among the brewers,
and they and the publicans are send,
ing up strong outcry against the
bill.

War Burned as Result of Conspiracy.

New York, March 2.-After third
degree" examinations Of two prisoners
last night, the police announced that
they had established their theory that
the Ampersand hotel, the big summer
house at Saranac Lake, was burned as
.he elimination Of conspiracy
hatched in this city. The Ampersand
was destroyed on the night OF Septem-
ber Fl last. An investigation instigat-
ed by the board of fire underwriters re-
suited Saturday night in the arrest
of Morris Newmark and Herman Van
Der Wall, both of this city. The mon
are not charged with having set the
fire, but with being implicated in the
conspiracy and, according to the po-
lice, have been identified by the two
firebugs proper.

Another eattIe In Morocco.

Paris, March 2.-Advices received
from Gen. D'Amade, commander of the
French forces in Morocco. report an
other furious fight with the Madakra
tribesmen which lasted from O'Clock
in the morning until nightfall, the
French losing / men killed and SO
wounded. The French expedition had
not penetrated far into the country
when it was attacked by hordes of
tribesmen, who kept the French troops
at bay throughout the day. At one
time the French cavalry was surround

ceeded in cutting their way out by a
brilliant charge.

TO IMPROVE THE SCHOOLS.
Cannot Do This by EquaIizing Salaries,
President Eliot Says.

a, President Eliot. Says.
WI resident Eliot of Harvard has made
this statement on the subject OF teach
ers' salaries and other educational is
sues:
"I have not been able to see the ex-
pedlency of paying women teachers
and men teachers in the public schools
equal salaries. The women are, as a
rule, only temporary teachers; the
men, on the other hand, ought to be
and usually are candidates for perma-
nent employment during their lives.
If these two sets of employees are
paid the same salaries, either the wom-
en- will get too much or the men will
get too little.
81 should suppose that the effect
would be to diminish the number OF
men who would go into the service,
and that 1t would also postpone the
adoption of the most needed improve
ment in the public schools-namely,
the reduction of the number of pupils
placed I'm charge of one teacher.
Perhaps the action of the labor un-
ions concerning the wages of women
would be suggestive In this case. They
insist you know, that In any given
trade-as the compositor's, for exam
ple-women must be paid the same
wages as men. Their object Is not to
benefit women, but to keep them out
of the trade, and 1t is to be observed
that they usually attain their object by
this devlce-at least in some measure"

FIRST sMOKELEss TUNNEL.
Turbine Fans Supply Half Million
Feet Of Purc Air Every Minute In
Psssageway to Washington's New
II

Turbine FAIRS Supply Half Million
Feet Of Pure Air Every Minute In
Psssagsway to Washington's New
Union Terminal.
Pennsylvania railroad engineers have
shown how tunnels may be so perfect
ly ventilated that passengers suffer no
annoyance whatever from smoke and
gas This has been accomplished In
the tunnel through which trains pass
to and from the new Washington Un'
ion terminal.
The problem was to devise some
means by which the smoke from one
train could be whisked out of the tuu-
nal before another train entered. AS
the underground passageway TO the
terminal Is In almost constant use. this
called for some means of supplying an
enormous volume of fresh air in quick
time
Along both sides of the tunnel are
located vcntllating ducts with cross air
passages under the tracks. About 30U
feet from the terminal portal OF the
tunnel two "Sirocco' turbine fans were
installed to force air through these.
ducts at the rate of 100000 cubic feet
Of air per minute. These fans blow the
air out of the tunnel at the rate Of
over half million cubic feet of air per
minute, and In less time than 1t takes
20 tell 1t fresh air has been supplied
through the entire length Of the tun-
mel.
The fans are of peculiar design.
They are only 100 inches in diameter,
with sixty-four narrow, slightly cup
ped blades running parallel around the
circumference. 1t is these blades that
deliver 100000 cubic feet of air for
every 145 revolutions of the fan, drum.
Engineers say that here is found the
solution of the problem of subway ven
tilation in cities and also OF the prob
lem of mine ventilation, for which the
"Sirocco' fans are now almost exclu-
sively used in the deep, gaseous coal
workings OF Great Britain.
