Bishop Eats His Own Boots,

Few bishops have to lead such q
strenuous life as Bishop Stringer. In
company with a missionary companion
he made a tour recently to Herschel
island, in the Arctic ocean, and back
to Dawson City, where the bishop re-
sides.
Their small supply of food becoming
exhausted. they were obliged to eat
their muekalucks and moccasins.
These, made of raw sealskins, were
soaked until they became glutinouss
and were then toasted in strips over
the fire. The bishop says the food
was real good, especially the mucka
lucks.

How He Expressed 1t,

Every small boy-the right kind,
anyhow-thinks his own mother the
symbol of all perfection. Few, how
ever, have the ability to express their
admiration as prettily as the little
hero of the following aneedote:
Richards mother was putting him to
bed, and as she kissed him good night,
she said: do you know you are the
whole world to mammal"
Am -" he answered, quickly We'll

Houghton, Mfch,-Towels have been
tabooed at the Michigan College of
Mines. This does not mean that soap
also has been put under the ban, but
that the faculty has decided that
towels are relics of barbarism and are
insanitary and expensive When a
student now washes his hands and
face he uses a big sheet of paper for
drying purposes and then throws it
into a waste basket.

IS the elephants ear, with which
americans are familiar as an orna-
mental plant. 1t is one of these
aroids which yields the poi OF the Ha-
wafians, the melanga of the Cubans
and the OTTO of the Panamans. Yutias,
dasheens and various other plants
somewhat widely known belong to the
same family. which is called by
hundred different names in various
parts of the world
Roughly they are all aroids. They
grow in abundance in Central Amer
lea, South America, the West Indies,
equatorial Africa, Malaysia, the Ha-
Waiian islands, Japan and China. In
all these countries the natives plant
them crudely in damp places and reap
abundant harVests. They prepare
them for eating in a hundred ways.
They are toothsome, nourishing, eco
nomical. They far surpass many of
the expensive foods of this country,
and have much that recommends them
to the entire world
The aroids are root crops. They
are more nearly comparable with po-
tatoes than with anything else we
know. The tubers grow in clusters On
the roots of the plant. They are often
larger than ones fist and are covered
with somewhat rough skin. This
may, however, easily be removed, or
it may be left on until after cooking.
The tabers may be baked or boiled or
fried. Baking is probably the best
method of cooking them. They may
be mashed and prepared with butter
or milk or eggs.
The&e are great numbers of ways
of preparing them, the detail of which
is unnecessary until they are procur.
able. They are boiled or fried and
baked on the plantations of the trop-
les, and no meal is complete without
them.
These aroids will grow wherever the
elephants ear fourishes, but too far
north will not come to maturity
There are many varieties, and some of
them flourish much farther north than
others.
The aroids are wet land plants,
They thrive on lowlands that are much
flooded, provided the water does not
stagnate on them. Their favorite con.
ditions are those under which pota.
toes would not thrive Some varieties
grow well under conditions suitable
for rice.
There are in the south millions OF
acres that are lying idle because they
are too wet, and some of these grea
areas would be ideal lands upon which
to grow the aroids. They require lit.
tie cultivation as compared with other
crops. 1t is because of this small la.
Dor demand that the crop has always
been so popular in the tropics, where
men are not given to overexertion.

GIRLS BODY found
BY LAKE MERGED
Identity a Mystery, for Elements

Work

Lying face upward in the tules along
the isolated south shore of Lake Mer-
ced, the body of a young woman was
found yesterday afternoon, and while
there are about the remains certain
marks and ornaments which may lead
to identification of the body, there was
nothing definitely learned yesterday of
the identity of the girl who died there
alone, nor was there any definite clew
to how she met her end. Her face had
been terribly marred and torn by car
rion beasts and birds and could aid lit

identity.

Identification is the mark on her body
of a surgeons knife at the left side of
her torso where the incision is made
in the operation for appendicitis. The
face also bore a faint birthmark on the
left side of her face, over the lower jaw
bone and along a meridian line dropped
from the tail of the left eye.
The body had evidently lain in the
sun and fog at the edge of the tules
for several weeks.

Il MPELLED by the influences OF
psychic thought and philosophy, in
which death was robbed of all its
terrors, Mary Katherine Atkinson
Roche, the divorced wife of Harry L
Atkinson and figure in the literary
life of the city, entered suicide pact
last Thursday with her second hus-
band, Archie Roche, to whom she had
been married June 27 at San Rafael
and the dead bodies of both were
found yesterday in their beautifully
appointed apartments at 755 Pine
street What of the tragedy was left
untold by the many notes and letters
found was more clearly expressed in
the fumes of gas which had been es-
Gaping for three days and nights from

Occult Tale Unfolded
With the discovery of the bodies
was unfolded one of the wierdest and
most compelling tales of psychic force
and mental suggestion ever brought to
the attention of the local authorities.
If credit is to be given the statements
of those who were closest to the cou-
pie during their lifetime, both were
ensnared in a vortex of occult spec
ulation, the woman drawn on by the
mastery of the man until she was url-
able to resist the suggestion of dou-
bic tragedy. In her own words, Mrs.
Roach was rushed to death by the
man whom she had married after
week of constant importuning and
pleadings. In the very home where
she had loved and lived with her frst
husband and to which she ad returned
after divorcing him, with her second
spouse. she enacted the last scene in
life of crowding actions and changes.
while yet fingered the echo of plight

The discovery was brought about BY
the escaping gas fumes which had
seeped through the apartment occu-
pied by the pair and into that OF W. c.

Jones communicated with the police
department and Detective McGrayan
went to the address at noon and forced

bodies were discovered in bed.

On every side was evidence that the
act was premeditated and carefully ex-

ton had been stuffed, while at the bot
