Lieut.. ShackletOn as TaIker

People whom Lieutenant Shack]eton
casually meets must be trial to him
with their trivial questions, but he has
merry wit He was explaining how
the penguins set up nest keeping. Mr.
Penguin would feed his wife as she
sat on the eggs. He brought her
prawns and the like, carrying them in
his outlet into which she dipped he1
beak. Are the birds monogamic p
asked the naturalist present. "That
we could not determine" replied the
Great Iceman. I'VE frequently saw
male penguin feed another birds
wife, but we could not say whether his
motives were absolutely disinter
ested.''

What is the cost of war? 1t is hard
to tell, for the losses sustained by
trade and the devastation wrought by
the contending armies can never be
tabulated. Nor does the expense
cease with the declaration of peace
Our own country is still paying out
nearly two hundred millions year on
account of the Civil War, ended almost
half century ago. The French Min
lister OF Finance has made an attempt
to estimate what the war with Ger
many cost France, and fixes the
amount at ten billions OF dollars A
high price to pay for a few months
OF war, ending at last in complete ma
tional humiliation.

way to save the tree now is to sur
round it by small lake and thus re-
store the ground on which the tree
stands to its original condition. 1t
must be borne in mind that the species
of cedar to which the tree belongs is
essentially a wet-ground product, as
its name in Mexican, ahuehuete, odd
man-of-the- water," implies.
In the days of Cortez the tree mu It
have stood near the shore Of Lake
Texcoco. Since then the waters OF
this lake have steadily receded through
various causes. and for many years
now the tree has stood on ground as
dry as cinders. By surrounding the
tree with water it is hoped new shoots
will rise. and that thus the tree will
perpetuate itself without the interfer-
ence of man. The trunk of Ell Arbol
de Ia Noche Triste is little more than
g. shell, the core having decayed many
years ago.

actors. Not all Of us are qualified t.
express a really valuable opinion on
this question OF increased living, for
comparatively few keep systematic
household accounts or have kept them
long enough for comparisons It is
easy to lay our increased expendi-
lures upon high prices, and 1t helps
to allay that little inward monitor
called conscience. Standards Of town
and city life have changed amazingly
since people now middle-aged were
young. We must have telephones, and
there goes $3.50 to $3.50 per month.
Our wives and daughters must cook
with gas, and there is another charge
against the family income. We must
have electric lights, Notwithstanding
they cost three or four times as much
as 1t cost once to light our homes with
kerosene, We want a furnace-heated
house, and that means a bigger fuel
bill, and we desire finer furniture,
beautiful lawns, better attire, more ex-
pensive plumbing and score or more
OF other conveniences and Iuxuries
that most of us at one time or another
were without, and strange as it may
seem, we were happy, too. OF course
the girls must have pianos and music
lessons, and as for getting along with
out amusem ents, why, one would al
most rather go without bread or meat,
and theater tickets do cost money.
All these useful and pleasant things
are desirable, and with them others
that the individual reader could emu
merate with no great effort, and it is
good to have them-if we can afford
1t. But if we must have them, let us
consider the reckoning and not tumble
up the cost with the comparatively
slight increase of the cost of living
that results from the higher prices
that we pay for bread, meat, milk and
butter.

lance. First, there is a stand raised
a few inches off the table. In the
front of this stand are two rows of
spikes, on which the fruit or vege-
tables to be sliced are stuck, and in
the back is an apparatus consisting
of a series Of blades. fastened togeth-
er parallel to each other and operated
by handle. A blow or two from these
blades will slice as many vegetables
as cook could slice in ten minutes.
1t is not difficult to see how this de-
vice would save time in restaurant
kitchens. besides doing the work with
greater precision than it could be done
by hand. The back row Of spikes in
this apparatus is movable with the mo-
ton of the knife blades. AS the blades
move the spikes shift up and down
through the slots in the stand whence
they protrude.

MEXICO TO SAVE FAMOUS TREE
"'Ef ArbOI' to He Surrounded with
Water to Prevent It's Loss.


Ell Arbol de la Noche Triste, the old
ahuehuete tree under which fernando
Cortez, conqueror of Mexico, is said
to- have sat and wept on the night OF
his defeat by the Aztecs, Will be saved
from death in novel manner. -
For some time the sentimentalists
IN Mexico have been at their wits end
how to save the tree, which for some
years has shown evidence Of rapid lie
cay, a City of Mexico correspondent OF
the New York Herald says. Many
methods have been suggested, but all
so far have failed to meet the approval
of those interested. At one time 1t was
proposed to cut the old tree down and
plant one of the sprigs in It's place:
This plan was rejected on the ground
that the young tree would merely
usurp the proud position its parent
occupies in the Mexican mind, and
that for this reason it could never be
Ell Arbol de la Noche Triste-the tree
of the sorrowful night.
Recently it was proposed to graft
q healthy shoot of the old tree on its
own root. This, however, would place
in jeopardy the little vitality the old
trunk has and for this reason met also
with general opposition.
Things went as far as the appoint
ment OF a special commission OF agi i
cultural experts by the government.
This body has discovered that the only

miles, and including $4,000 acres The
magnificent Palisades, saved from de-
struction by private generosity, were
dedicated as a park during the Hud,
Son-Fulton celebration. The proposed
new park Is an outcome of that, and
an addition to it. It will owe its ex-
istence to gift of 10000 acres of land
and million dollars by Mrs Edward
II. Hartman. Other wealthy persons
have given a million and a half more,
and now Governor Hughes has asked
the Legislature to appropriate the nee.

complete the project. The proposed
