TROPICAL FARM PRODUCTS.
Panama Canal Zone to Have AEri
cultural Experiment Station.

Before the coming Of winter the Depart
ment Of Agriculture intends to establish
an experiment station in the Panama
Canal Zone with view to making the
ten-mile strip as productive and as near
self-supporting as possible. Representa-
tives from the soil survey and the bureau
Of plant industry will be sent TO the zone
In October, and their report will show
how much OF the work of the department
that has been done In other tropical
regions Is available for the work along
the canal
There have been experiment stations
for some time in Hawaii the Philippines
and Porto Rico, and much OF the data
accumulated In these places will apply
equally well to the canal strip. There
will be some problems Of soil and climate
that will have to be worked out, espe-
cially along the canal. The rainy season
there is more excessive than has been
dealt with In any other region, and there
will be some tropical products that have
been found by the agricultural explorers
that will be adaptable to the zone that
have not been available elsewhere.
The strip Is. roughly, ten miles wide
and forty miles long, and while much of
it Is occupied by the canal works and will
have to remain under the control of the
government, there is room also for a
large number of farms and settlers. and
the constantly increasing trafnc through
the canal Will form an overwhelming
market for tropical farm products.

AIMED AT PATENT LAWS.
Inventors Association Announces
Purpose of the Organization.

Members of the Inventors Protective
Association. at a meeting of the organi-
zation last night. made 1t plain that their
criticism and complaint. made at a pre-
vious session. was aimed at certain pat
ent laws and not at the officials of the
patent office. The administration Of af-
fairs at the patent Office was praised. 1t
was said to be a case of good men having
to administer bad laws.
The decision was reached that three
classes Of persons will be admitted into
the society. First. patentees, who shall
have the right to vote on any question
that may arise; second, those who have
applied for patent. and who, while they
win not be given the right to vote, shall
have q voice In the meeting and the right
to express their opinions; and third. those
who are working on some invention,
though they have not applied for a pat
ent, and who shall be termed correspond
Ing members. having the privilege Of
handing In whitten opinions which shall
be read at the meetings by the secretary.
All patent lawyers and patent promoters
will be absolutely excluded.

Upton AFTER AMERICAN CUP
STILL EXPECTS TO HAVE YACHT
BUILT TO WIN.
Not Discouraged by Failures.
Wants Ireland to Have Blue
Ribbon Of the Sea.

BOSTON. Mass, August 27.-Sir
Thomas Upton Is still set upon the
winning Of the Americas cup. according
to an interview had with him while
abroad recently by former Mayor John
f. Fitzgerald. who was Sir Thomas
guest. The Republic, Mr.. Fitzgerald's
paper, will publish tomorrow the fol-
lowing interview with the yachtsman:
Il am just as anxious and as deter
mined to continue my efforts toward
winning the Americas cup as l was the
day Shamrock l was launched. Re
peated failure has only tended to fix
more firmly my resolution to give to
Ireland the honor OF capturing the
trophy which stands for the blue rib
bon of the sea. My former efforts have
taught me that to succeed l must build
boat capable of beating the American
defender. despite the enormous handi
cap Of the rules governing the deed of
gift under which the New York Yacht
Club holds the cup. / have no COM
plant to make because Of my failures.
the finest sportsmen in the world, but
I do think that in the interest OF true
sport the rule should be modified.
Key to the Situation.
Il would challenge again tomorrow
were tie TdCc W Dc 6OfCIHcO ny lilc
regular rules of the New York Yacht
Club or Of any recognized club in the
world. The present rules provide that
the length of the competing yachts, in
the case of single -masted vessels, must
be between sixty-five and ninety feet
The challenger must proceed under sail
to the place where the contest is to
take place on its own bottom. This
latter clause is the key 10 the situa-
tai
ing this particular case, and makes no
allowance for the enormous develop
ment of the sport since it was first de-
vised to govern the Americas cup races.
The sport has grown from contests
among purely seagofng vessels into a
scientific struggle between vessels that
are nothing more or less than freaks
or racing machines. Under the exist
ing conditions every consideration Of
safety, comfort and economy is sacri-
creasing peril of the Atlantic passage
on one of these latter-day machines
only serves to emphasize the necessity
of amending the deed Of gift in the in
in my mind but that Designer Watson
actually worried himself to death over
the dangers consequent upon the jour-
neys across the Atlantic.
Conditions Not Favorable.
That" said Sir Thomas, 'is the situ-
alton from this side of the water. 1t
is impossible to get builder to at
tempt the construction of a cup chal-
lenger under existing conditions. The
deed Of gift Is not an unalterable rule;
1t has been changed twice during the
past fifty years. and l think that the
American spirit, Of fair play will in the
near future appreciate the manifestly
prohibitory features of the rules as
| they are now interpreted"
Sir Thomas added that Designer Fife
refused to risk his reputation by at
tempting to design another challenger
subject to the existing rule. as he IS
certain that he could not build such a
boat and feel that the lives of the men
would not be If grave danger every
minute during the trip across

The Naughty SaIeswoman.

"Why is it," asked woman of her
husband after a days shopping, that
the men clerks are so much more
courteous and obliging than the girls?
Eight out of ten girls treat a custom
er as If she had no right in the store
at all and as If favor was being be-
slowed in waiting on her. But find
the men at the silk counters, in the
shoe departments and the floor walk
! ers most polite and obliging. And it
Is not because l am woman either
and it's case of the opposite sex TAX
ing a greater interest. I've heard
men say that they seldom find dis
obliging clerk in a haberdashery shop
or in any of the large places that cater
to mems patronage. l am sorry to
have to say it of my own sex, but, as
q class, in their work in shops they
are most disagreeable."
"And that, my DEAR" said the hus-
band, 'is the reason l refuse to shop
for you. I've been treated more than
once like an infant in arms in one of
those department stores or, which is
worse, like so much dust under the
feet of the maid who condescended to
wait upon me."-New York Press.

Coats are little shorter.
Touches of color are everywhere.
Dyed laces are still in great favor.
There is still rage for bead work.
Washable tulle predominates for the
blouse.
The new suits continue to have
buttons.
The one-piece princess dress is very

A new high linen collar buttons at

velvets in narrow shaded stripes

Glace gloves still hold first place for
hand coverings.
Long sleeves will be worn on all
the tailored suits.
Soft puffy afternoon frocks may
have elbow sleeves.
Tulle and linen jabots are as pop
ular as ever in Paris.
Lace will be more than rivaled in
popularity by embroidery and braid
trimming.
The high shoes of soft suede in
street colors are among the prettiest
of footwear.
Suits are still seen with big buttons.
legal straw is the finest material
for the brimless hat.

Gold and silver stockings-that is,
silk stockings in these effects-are

New evening slippers are cut es-
tremely low, exposing the stocking al
most to its silken toe. This is a

A Quick Way.

No matter how much a woman may
like to sew, she often gets very tired
of the work, especially when there
are just few more stitches needed
to complete an article. This is true Of
the busy mother who is always plan
ming for the making of something else
before the garment in hand Is finished.
BY such woman helpful hint is ap-
preciated.
For instance, when making corset
cover, 1t takes time to cut and turn
in the edges of material for a casing
through which to run the ribbon nee
essarily used at the waist line of the
article. A piece of strong tape Of suffl-
Client width will not have to be turned
in, but merely to be sewn along each
edge on the sewing machine and used
as casing.-Washington Star.

Domestic Science.

Miss Anna Barrows, teacher of do
mestic science, reports that after six
umonths experimenting with the differ
|ent fireless cookers on the market she
rs convinced that none Of them is any
3better than the home made one that
any woman can construct for herself.
Fireless cookers with three holes cost
in the neighborhood of $40, while the
materials for making one can easily
be bought for less than So. The only
difficulty in constructing these simple
conveniences at home is in getting
vessels without handles and with close
fitting lids.
