LONG FEASTS.
itne Chinese Dinner and Couple Of
Eskimo Banquets-

Mr.. Ward, the American envoy to
Chira, who tried to secure an inter
view with the emperor, Hieng Flung, In
1859, tells how he was entertained at
dinner that lasted from noon one day
until o'clock on the evening of the
day following. The total number of
courses is not given, but Ward men,
tons that he had to give in after par
taking of 1873 different dishes, where
upon his hosts wondered greatly"-pre-
sumably at his abstemiousness.
Probably, however, the Eskimo ban
quets last longer than any others and
the quantity Of food swallowed is also
prOportionateiy greater. Ross records
that seven of his party of natives once
ate continuously for thirty-three hours,
during which time they consumed 200
pounds of seal meat Europeans ex-
posed to the same climatic conditions
act in much the same way. Captain
Scott of the Discovery ON his return
from his long sledge journey over the
inland ice of the antarctic continent
did nothing but eat and sleep for the
space of three days and nights, and
even then he was still hungry.
Commander Peary and his party, re-
turning famished from their futile
dash for the pole in 1906, slaughtered
herd of seven musk oxen on Hazen
island, off the extreme north of Green
land. For two days and nights there
after they crouched inside their snow
huts, eating continuously, and when
they had finished the pile Of bones
outside was "as high as a tall mans
chin"

WHY FROM CALIFORNIA

A dispatch in Sundays paper
dealing with a reduced rate on
California fruit to Montana points
adds: ''There is also a reduction in
the rate on vegetables TO points in
Idaho"
" there is anything that can be
raised with little trouble and with
almost weed like growth II is the
vegetable-anv kind of a vege-
table excepting those peculiar to
The tropics.
Nns, men shoald Idaho buy
vegetables from California? Early
vegetables Well, at no time is
California verv much ahead Of this
state. II is an exceptionally late
season here when there is over
three weeks difference in staple
produce.
The answer to the query, why
from California; is this: The
Idaho farmer is overlooking a big
item Of profit. In his aspiration
to be q producer OF big things he
is ~neglecting the small things that
produce a bigger profit.
The farmer who will give some
attention to the one item Of aspara-
gus will make more money off one
scre of ground than he does off 20
IN hay.
He need not. however, conhne
his gardening to asparagus. There
is = demand for vegetables of all
kinds that California is supplying.
That should be sufficient reason
for the Idaho farmer to revise his
plans. Boise Statesman.

NORMAL THEORY IS olsPRovED.
Quite Preposterous In the Light Of
P~resent-Day Extremism.

Philosophers seldom tire of booming
the normal and d~eprecating the all
round abnormal tendency. They insist
that the normal life is good for our
bodies, and exc for our co~nsciences.
But this is absurd. We cannot en-
Joy ourselves and at the same time
be normal. Every pleasure is some
thing which is abnormal to US. Every
man and woman at the present day
who sets out with the object of
achieving distinction. or popularity of
any description, must be abnormally
good or abnormally bad before 1t can
create an impression. The normal
theory is a preposterous one.
Imagine a woman in normal clothes!
At the present moment woman has
attained the pinnacle of ~notoriety In
the opposite direction, and on its top
most point is set her hat. Imagine
the successful athlete In a normal
condition. Imagine the winner Of a
motor race as a normal pleasure
seeker; and there are others-too
many to Observation-Disclosures Rec

TREATMENT THAT "GsoWs" IRor
Peculiar Property of Castings Put to
Practical Use.

Why should an iron Crate bar be-
come warped, twisted and cracked
after long use?
The reason appears to have been
discovered by Alexander 4. Outer
bridge, Jr.; of Philadelphia, who tells
US that cast iron when heated and
cooled swells so that a bar of 1t
becomes not only longer but thicker,
and that this increase in size may con.
tinue with subsequent heatings and
coolings until the volume of the bar
is 40 per cent. larger than it was
originally.
Microscopic examination shows that
the texture of the swelled bar has be
come coarser grained. This discov.
cry, which was made about three
years ago, is now put to practical use
in various ways.
For instance, a gas engine piston
that had worn small was caused to
grow" by this method until it again
fitted its cylinder.
Again. several ions of steam radia-
tors that had been condemned as too
short were successfully treated until
they could be used as at first
intended.

NO OCCASION FOR WORRY

Every once in a while some dys.

starts a story that in a few years
the supply of coal in the United
States will be exhausted. Don't
worry abou, that any more. In the

"a millions acres OF coal that have
not yet been more than touched.
They cannot be developed at pres
ent on account Of the lack Of trans
portation facilities. lists
estimate that the coal measures ol
Montana alone will yield 500 bill,
lions tons OF coal. No human
mind can really conceive of what q
pile OF coal OF that size means, but
the figures show that If II were
loaded on coal cars, each car with
20 tons OF coal, there would be
enough cars to girdle the globe
7.40O times. or if a railroad could
be built to the sun, and then double
tracked. there would be enough
cars filled with Montana coal to.
fill both tracks. As long as there
is that much coal in sight we refuseI

famine. And Montana isn't the
only state THAI has hardly touched
its supply Of coal. There is Wyo-|

Natural Gas in India.

Consul General William H. Michael
OF Calcutta writes that 90 miles from
Chittagong natural gas issues from a
crevice In the ground In considerable
quantity. II has been burning so long
that the Oldest inhahitant can give
no idea of when or how It was set on
fire The general belief among the
natives is that the gas has been on
fire for centuries. At any rate, the
gas flow has been burning as far back
as any records have been kept by
white people.
1t is now suggested-and some steps
have been taken to carry out the sug
gestion--that the fire be extinguished
and the gas be brought under control
and piped down to Chittagong for
lighting and fuel and power purposes.
The citizens of Chittagong have con
cluded that II would be cheaper TO util-
lie the gas than to introduce electric
ity for fuel, power and lighting.
