also Mr.. Fitchs invention.
The aluminium cooking outfits
which MIR. RooTSvelt will take along
with him make the old frying pans
and pots and stillets of the pioneers
look like the utensils of the ancients.
In a fibroid case about the size of a
| tent roll are packed eighty utensils,
including knives, forks and spoons,
cups, bowls, four pots, two frying
pani and a coffee pot; enough to pre-
pare anything for eight persons. All
these things nest into one another
and pack into a space eleven and a
half inches i'm diameter and one foot
high. The ldt weighs just fifteen
pounds. Everything is made of alum
mum alloy.
|. with II goes an alumium baker and
bread board, which can be set up be-
side the camp fire. 1t can cook any
thing in the way Of roast meats,
bread or biscuits. This all folds. up
fat as board I'm a canvas carrying
case and is nothing of a load.
There are aluminium lanterns that
fold flatter than the candle that
lights them. Then there is the acety-
lene lighting outfit invented by Mr..
Fitch, which any porter can carry on
his back At night It lights up the
camping place like day, and all that
Is necessary is to put the carbide in
its place and set 1t going
/ Then there are Gardiner waterproof
packs which carry all the miscellan-
eous equipage OF the hunters and
duffle bags made OF linen. There are
'Nessmuck camp packs waterproof

of this mighty hunt. There are reels

Darling rerair kit, to mend broken
rods aud tackles. Chrome tan wat
erproof hip boots and a supply of oil

conditions are part of the fishing
outfit.
p President Roosevelt depends upon
killing game for the chief part OF
: the sUstenance Of his party, but
when this can't be had, he will fall
back on his food bags. These are
the same size as the tent bags and
are packed with small paraffin bags,
/ carrying everything in the way Of
/ portable food like bacon, pork, salt,
pepper, flour, coffee, sugar, corn
meal erbswurse-a dried sausage
bouillon capsules, baking powder,
/ tea chocolate, butter, shredded cod

dried vegetables soup tablets, evap-
GRATED apples and apricots salt dried

/ Axes, folding CRATES folding chairs
| and tables, rubber blankets or pom
Chos, saw, cOmpasses. a medicine

all of these will be in tho kit.
/ when the outfit was taken out a
/ few days ago ninety miles down In
New Jersey the comrlete camp
/ equipage was set up and taken down
| again, both in the morning and at
night, 10 see how quickly and easily
1t could be done. Steaks were quick
ly and eaSily broiled over the fire by
the Use Of the folding CRATE and the
! frying pans with removable ham
dies. Coffee was boiled in pot
suspended between two forked sticks
and bread was baked in the baker.
Everything went right. Mr.. Roose-
welt need have no fear about his out
fit, which, of course, is the best
money can buy New York World.
