DO YOU KNOW HOW
 TO EAT AN ORANGE?

There are ways and ways of eat ing an orange" remarked a New Yorker who had just returned from a winter trip to the West Indies. Be fore l went to Jamaica and Porto Rico I used to strip off the rind, break up the fruit and put the diff ferent sections into my mouth, pith and all; but down in the islands where they grow oranges I learned some mighty good wrinkles.
 'I was @ guest one evening at the te ble of a planter in Jamaica. When dessert time came around the hostess asked me if she might peel an orange fer me. She took a sharp knife and deftly removed the outer skin only. She began at the top and worked her way to the bottom, throwing the skin aside in one unbroken strip about twelve inches long. This left the or ange still covered with the spongy white pith.
 "She then sliced it across horizon tally and handed me the two sec- tionS. I watched what the other guests did and bit into the expanse of the golden fruit that was tempt ingly exposed. I found that the outer pith prevented any of the juice from escaping, while the orange having been cut across it was possible to get at all the meat and leave the worth less portion behind. There was no acrid rind to burn my lips, and I req lized I had never fully enjoyed an orange.
 This same woman called my at- tention to the fact that she had not divided the fruit into equal portions and that the smaller portion had been the sweeter 1 asked for an ex- planation, and she told me that as soon as ali orange begins to ripen on the tree the sweetening matter sinks to the lower end, away from the stem. For that reason they always cut the sweet end smaller in Jamaica. They eat the larger portion first, re- serving what they call the head as tit-bit.
 "A lady in Porto Rico showed me another stunt. She began to peel an orange as the Jamaica woman had done, but stopped about one quarter of the way down. She then ran the knife into the peeled end and cut away a conical section of fruit.
 t'The hole that resulted became rapidly filled with juice, and follow ing her directions, l sucked it, squeez-

New Haven, Feb. 8.-Prof. Russell H. Chittenden, Director of the Shef- field Scientific School of Yale Univer- sity. announces gift from George G. Mason of New York City and William S. Mason of Evanston, H., both of the class of 1888 in the Scientific School, of $25O,0O0 for laboratory of mechanical engineering.

Haight of New York City. It is hoped that construc- tion of the building will be begun by July l next. The sum given will in- Clude initial equipment. Except the gifts of Frederick w. Vanderbilt of the class of 1876, this is larger than any gift ever made to the school by a graduate.
 George Grant Mason and William Smith Mason inherited a fortune from their uncle, James Henry Smith, variously estimated at from $12,0OO,- 900 to $15,OO0,000. George Grant, UolHS tHO eIu0F OI LIlG two DrOLnGrS, received the majority share of the fortune.
 The Mason brothers were unheard of until 1882, when MT. Smith, who had recently come into his fortune, went West to look up his relatives. He found the two brothers in strait ened circumstances, and, at his re- quest, they entered Yale College in the same year, MT. Smith paying all the expenses. Each took two years course in the technical school.
 MT. Smith expressed a desire that the. brothers, when they left college, enter the employ of the Chicago, Mill waukee & St. Paul Railroad, in which MT. Smith was financially interested. the Masons went to work in the shops of the road at Milwau- kee. There they remained together for the next five years, when they were separated George Grant Mason was sent to Geen Bay, Wis, where he was made foreman of the round house, while the younger brother re- mained in Milwaukee, being employ ed by the road as a draughtsman.

lUMbLED 3JO FEtl BUT LIVES WITH
 HIS NECK BROKEN
VICTIM OF QUEBEC BRIDGE DIS- ASTER TRAVELLING ABOUT COUNTRY AS X-RAY EXAMINA- TION SUBJECT

New Haven. Feb.~ 8.-Theodore Will liam Peters of New York, who was one of the victims of the falling of the QueEec bridge on August B. 1907, where he was an iron worker in the employ of the Phenix Bridge Co.,, is in this city on his way to find his sister. who he says lives at Charlestown, Mass.
 Peters is a physical wreck from the effects of the injuries which he re- ceived at the fall of the bridge. In his fall he went down 300 feet with 130 men, 90 of whom were killed.
 He struck on the cabin of police patrol boat and his neck was 6islo- cated, very many of the bones in his body were broken and his tongue was bitten in two. His injuries were save a fellow wOrkman's life at the risk of his own as the bridge fell. He lay in the hospital at Quebec com pletely out of his mind for more than a year, and since that time he has travelled about the central west as a subject for examination before classes of surgical students in various hos pitals. as he says, as one of the few men living with broken neck. His wife died from the shock of the acci- dent to him.
 He presents a most pitiable plight, his head beingIthroWn to the right. his throat being so injured that he cannot swallow solid food, and the upper DOT tion of his body being strapped into a sort of harness that enables him to move about with some degree of free dom. A more abject picture of mis- cry, one seldom sees. He stated here that he was a member of Structural Iron Workers Union. No. l. of Chi cago, but that he received very little aid from that. Much of his income comes from charity and from the ex- hibitton of his body to X-Ray, exami- nation at colleges. He visited the Yale Medical school at the university and offered himself there for that pur pose. Some of the bones in his legs are so far from being united that he walks with some difficulty.
 Peters was with Dewey at Manila. His two children are in Canada.
