New Source of Food.


 Tn temperate countries little is known of poi. malange or oto, yet the tubers from which these dishes are made, all of the aroid family. really feed as many people numerically as wheat or rice, it is said. AS a food staple they are recognized in every sec ton of the tropics, and because more of them can be raised to the acre than potatoes the agricultural department has been experimenting in the south ern states with various species of the aroids, and it has been found that they can be successfully grown on the low lands of almost any character, regard less of the quality of the soil. An acre produces from fifteen to twenty tons annually at less expense than a crop of potatoes on the same land.
 As a food the ,aroids are just as nourishing as the familiar tuber and are said to be as good to eat and as adaptable to various styles of cooking. There is no reason why we should not admit this economic product into our catalogue of foodstuffs if it's culture works out as successfully as the ex- perimenters now believeiit will.-Chi- cago Tribune.

HILL IS SILENT ON
 EDUCATORS ROW.
Ambassador Won't Discuss the
 Smith, -MunSterberg Case.

Professor David Jayne Hill, Ameri- can ambassador to Berlin, has arrived in New York on the North German Lloyd liner, George Washington, to deliver a series of lectures on Juris- prudence at Columbia university. The ambassador was accompanied by Mrs. Hill, their daughter, Miss Margaret Hill. and Miss Marie Merrill, an in- innate friend of Miss Hill. Andres Zorn, the famous Swedish portrait painter, was also of their party.
 Ambassador Hill refused to discuss the controversy over the withdrawal of the invitations to Professor Alfonso Smith of the University of Georgia and Professor Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard to attend the schleppencour or reception by the kaiser in Berlin.
 It was stated by Professor Smith on his return here a short time ago that his invitation had been withdrawn by Ambassador Hill at the request of Professor Munsterberg. The schlep- pencour Is purely a courtesy to foreigners who wish to meet the kaiser Professor Munsterberg had ex- pected an invitation, but when 1t was learned that he was still subject of the kaiser it was necessary to bar him. Professor Munsterberg was so aggrieved that he sought solace by requesting Ambassador Hill to with draw the invitation to Professor Smith.
 At the conclusion of his lecture tour Ambassador Hill will visit bis home in Rochester for several weeks and then return to Germany. He said that he, had nof intention of offering his resignation as result of the Smith Munsterberg affair. E.

Much Is Expected of Mexican Minister
 of Finance.
 A telegram has been received at the Mexican embassy in Washington an- nouncing the arrival at City of Mexico of Senor Limantour.
 It is, of course, known that Liman- tour carried with him. important mes ages bearing on the present situation in Mexico. An agreement has been reached by the two governments whereby action in the case of Blatt and Converse, the Americans who were arrested, by the Mexican authori- ties, will be expedited.
 Word to San Antonio that came from City of Mexico indicates that the pre- paration for an instant movement may have bearing on the political situation in Diaz's capital. An English mining engineer and financier from City of Mexico named Pursell who passed through San Antonio on his way north said that upon the events of the days immediately following Limantour's ar rival would depend the solution of the complication of the whole situation across the line.

BOOKER I. IN A SCANDAL.
Negro Educator Is Beaten Up by New
 Yorker, Who Claims He Peeped In keyhoIe of an Apartment.

Booker T. Washington was brought into the West Sixty fifth station by a policeman who had chased him up Central Park West after scuff1e in a hallway Albert Ulrich, carpenter, was arrested on Washington's com plaint, charged with assault. Ulrich told the police that he had found Washington peering through keyhole in an apartment. Washington had two or three scalp wounds and was taken to Flower hospital for treat ment. .... e= -.. ..... ~e- =.r. .
 Booker T. Washington is staying at the Manhattan hotel. Ulrich was held on charge of assault. .....a
 At the police station Washington told Lieutenant Quinn, who was on the desk, that he had been in town Saturday. He said that he received a telegram from the auditor of the Tuskogee institute, asking him to go to the home of his cousin, 111a West Sixty-third street. He said that he read the names in the vestibule of an apartment house and was unable to find any one named Smith. He said that he may have stayed in front of the apartment for a few moments. Then he said Ulrich ran out of the vestibule and came at him with a club. Washington said he ran east to Cen tral Park West and then ran north a block on the park side of the street with Ulrich close behind beating him. He positively identified Ulrich as the man who assaulted him.
 The case against Ulrich, who is charged with assault, did not come to trial in the, west side court. After a consultation between counsel for both sides the prosecution agreed to change the charge from felonious assault to simple assault, which is a misdemean- or. The bail was reduced from $500 to $500. If the case is tried it will be before the court of special sessions.

To Prevent Ships RoIlina.

Those who suffer from seasickness will be pleased to hear that German engineer has invented a pitching tank which, tried on two Atlantic
 liners. has proved very effectual in re- ducing the rolling of the ships. The Berlin Lokalanzeiger states that at the congress of shipbuilding engineers the emperor congratulated Herr Frahm, the inventor of the pitching tank" :" and expressed the hope that the system would soon be introduced on board all vessels. Herr Frahm read a paper demonstrating upon a model the eff fleets of the invention, which consists of U shaped tanks extending from port to starboard through the hold. The water in them rises and falls as the ship rolls, so as to neutralize the rhythmical movement of the latter.

menta standing behind them. But now orders instituting the partial and tenn porary disintegratfon of the division were issued, and the train which was to carry the Eleventh cavalry squadron to Pecos river and further west still stands ready, but empty.
 This sudden change of front, which isI known to have been dictated from Washington, has left commanders and high privates equally on the raw edge of indecision. The puzzlenrent produc- ed Is complete. Whenever a corre- spondent poked his head in a colonel's tent he was seized, set on cot and told to deliver what he knew about the why and wherefore of the thing-what was doing at Washington. There was nothing but rumor and speculation from end to end of the mile long divi- sion streets.
 The strongest indications that a pos sihle movement of the troops to the border or beyond had received counter manding orders from the war depart ment lay in the announcement made at division headquarters that General F. A. Smith, commander of the First bri- gade, had been given permission to march his brigade to Leon Springs for maneuvers. General Smiths brigade comprises the Eleventh, Fifteenth and Eighteenth infantry regiments.
 This means that about 4,000 men will be withdrawn from the forces at Fort Sam Houston for a week, when the permission to move is carried out The brigade will occupy two days on the march each way to the army reserva- tion at Leon Springs and will spend three days in maneuvers and rifle prac- tice there

Invisible Eyeglasses.

A recent instance of American in genuity is afforded by the device of an optician for the relief of actors and actresses afflicted with defective eye sight. Glasses fitted with tiny lenses are now made for the use of the actor so afflicted who. in deference to the character he is enacting, may not wear the regulation eyeglasses or spectacles. These special glasses fit close to the eyeball and are scarcely discernible from the front of the house. The nose piece or bridge connecting the lenses is covered with flesh -colored material. which adds to the illusion.

CAM0RREST TRIAL RESUMED.
Prisoners Accuse Carbineers of Manu- facturinu Incriminatinq Evidence,

Prisoners Accuse Carbineers of Manu-
 featuring discriminating Evidence.
 The trial of Enrico Alfano and the forty other CamOrrists for the murder of Gennaro Cuoccolo has been resum- ed at Viterbo, Italy.
 While on the way from the prison Giro Vittozzi, the priest, who is one of those on trial and who is the godfather of Alfano, was seized with an attack of angina pectOris. He insisted, how ever, on proceeding to the court.
 Judge Bianchi took up the examina- tion of Giuseppe Salvi, one of the six alleged actual murderers of Cuoccolo. The judge asked the prisoner how he accounted for the finding of a gold ring belonging to Cuoccolo, with the initials "G. C." in the mattress of his (Sa1vi's) paramour.
 The prisoner replied by accusing the carbineers of placing the ring in the mattress. He declared that the legion of carbineers which ran down the Camorrists and made the arrests of to manufacture evidence against the prisoners, In his case their action in regard to the ring was with the object of providing a strong piece of evidence against him. After fabricating the story of the ring the carbineers arrest. ed him. The charge made by Salvi created a sensation in the court.

WOOD OF THE RED GUM.
When Properly Treated 1t Makes a
 Valuable Timber.

Acting in concert with some of the the United States forestry service took up the matter of the red gum lumber of the southern states in the endeavor to acquit 1t of the charges which had been made against it. 1t has long been regarded as one of the most beau tfful of the woods of this country, but its behavior in use was not all that could be asked for. It was known to split and warp in such manner that 1t was never made use of except for temporary purposes. Even for this there was very little of 1t cut. The results of the investigation and expert ment which ensued was that it was learned that if the wood were proper ly treated it could be relied on just as much as any of the more favorably known woods. It was discovered that the wood must be treated a little diff ferently In piling and drying and that double drying process was necessary That is, after being reduced to boards / it should stand in the air for one year and then be given an additional treat ment in the kiln In this manner the wood was deprived of nearly all of it's water content. In its green condition it weighs 4.750 pounds per 1000 feet, while after the double drying treat ment it weighs $500 pounds. Red gum that weighs 1-3 pounds per foot will be found entirely trustworthy as far as its future conduct is concern ed. It will not twist, warp or crack. When cut it has the appearance of mahogany or birch and is capable of being treated with almost any of the wood stains in use.

REMEDY FOR DAMP WALLS.
Alternate Goats of Soap and Alum Are
 Inpervious to Water.


 lmpervious to Water.
 If wall is suspected of dampness piece of gelatin held close to it will tell the story at once. If the wall is dry the gelatin will not change; if damp the gelatin will turn or curl more or less, according to the degree of dampness; if the wall is very damp it will need no testing.
 One good remedy for a wall not very damp is a mixture of one pound of good glue dissolved in one gallon of water into which. while hot, has been stirred some dry red lead until the mass is of the consistency of ordinary paint. ~ The surest and best remedy, accord ing to the Master Painter, is the Syl- vester process, as follows: Cut up three-Quarters of pound of castillo soap into one gallon of water and dis solve. Now dissolve half a pound of pulverized alum in four gallons of water. With brush for each solu- tion, using wide brush, apply a coat ing of the soap solution, rubbing it we'll into the wall. Let it dry until next day, then apply coat of alum water. Let this dry until next day, then repeat with the alum and soap once. as before. Thus the wall will receive two coats of soap and two of alum, which will form chemical com pound imperyious to water. Very damp walls treated with this simple coating will give no trouble under pa per for years.
