Industry of the Barren, Dusty Des.
erts Of South America.
In his Commercial Traveller In South
America" Frank Wiborg writes: I'VE
stopped at a number of the nitrate
towns-Pisagua. IIuique, Autofagasta
and l visited some of the mills, or
oficinas. in order to see something of
the industry. Deposits of the crude
nitrate Of soda. called here 'caliche.'
are found in the pampa, or rolling pla-
teau. beyond the first range of foot
hills. In some places this plateau is
but ten miles from the coast. in others
as far as fifty miles. The pampa is an
utterly barren desert. On the surface
there is nothing to tempt the heart OF
man, but a few feet down lies the nj
trate stratum. This presents much the
appearance of rock salt and varies in
color. according to the purity of the
deposit. from a whtish tint to dark
gray. The upper earth is blown away
with dynamite. and then the caliche Is
dug out with pick and shovel. loaded on
iron carts and carried up to the mills.
Here the caliche is first broken into
small pieces by heavy crushers and
then put into large boiling watts. Inside
these watts are coils of steam pipes, by
means Of which the temperature can be
regulated accurately. Sea water is
poured in. and the caliche Is boiled for
a certain time. The liquid solution that
results is drawn of into settling watts.
which are exposed to the open air and
the sun. Evaporation is rapid. and the
pure nitrate of soda soon begins crys-
tallizing and settling TO the bottom.
After this has gone on for some time
the remaining liquid is drawn OF and
the crust of nitrate is scraped from the
sides and bottom of the vat and thor
ouShly dried in the sun. Then il IS
graded according TO quality and packed
for shipment in 100 pound sacks.
Most Of the nitrate exported is used
as a fertilizer. hut a part goes to the
manufacture of powder and high ex

THE DEVILS CODE.
Legend OF . Monk. Satan and . Quick
NiEht'a Work.

Stockholm's public library contains Q
wonderful work which is called The
Devils Code" and which. in addition
to its extraordinary name. is said to be
the biggest manuscript in the world.
Every letter is most beautifully drawn.
and the magnitude Of the work il SO
great that it seems impossible for any
single monk to have done 1t.
The story Of the origin Of the manu-
script. however. not only gives 1t as
the work Of one man. but also states II
to be the work of n single night. The
story runs as follows:
"A poor monk had been condemned
to death. but was told mockingly ~
the whole Code between darkness and
dawn he would he saved. Relying up
on the impossibility OF the task. those
who sentenced him furnished him with
the original copy Of the Code with
pen. ink and parchment. and left him.
Death must have been as little liked
in the middle ages as it is now, for the
monk. forgetting the hopelessness of
his task. commenced 1t. Before long.
however. he saw that he could not save
his own life by such weak exertions.
and. fearing n cruel and horrible death.
he invoked the aid Of the prince Of
darkness. promising to surrender his

School Trustees Declare Pie

that mother made" all pies are good.
Not only are they good, but owing to
their internal construction, ''as a brain
food they have fish beaten a mile and
then some"
That settled it, and even if authorit-
les on dietetics have been at logger
heads for years. pie is now an author
ICED and fit article for human food.
Professor Graft declares that some
of the learned men, in a spirit of jest,
have said that the spirit of unrest
that prevails throughout the country
is due to the love for and the eating
of pie. while on the other hand just
as learned experts have staked their
regulations that there is nothing that
is more soothing to the nerves and a
tired brain than large section of pie,
eaten at night just before retiring.
The pie for the Omaha high school
will be made in the building, where a
culinary department is being installed
Pie will be served to all high school
pupils who care for the delicacy and
this will be done with the official
stamp of approval of the board of edu-
cation.

Omaha. Neb., Aug. 3O.-Regardless
of what may constitute it's component
parts, pie is brain food. Such is the
official decision of the Omaha board
of education and of Professor Graft,
principal of the Omaha high school.
The pie question came before the
Omaha board of education when the
opening of a restaurant in the high
school building was up for discussion
last night Members discussed what
should be served to the students and
which foods would bring the best re-
suits as brain foods.
Two members opposed pie. The 9TH
ers. fourteen in number, insisted that
pie is the best thing that children can
eat. Arguments waxed warm, but the
friends of pie were largely in the ma
jority. But if they adopted pie as food
for the growing youth of the city they
wanted to do so by a unanimous vote.
The two members opposed to pie
urged an expert opinion from the prin-
cipal of the school. The professor was
sent for and the proposition put up
to him. After hearing both sides he
remarked that. aside from the pies
