study by schedule, and the chef plays
minute
The preparation of the food for the
mess is one Of West Points most in
teresting features and has been COM
mented on most favorably by army
officers from all parts of the world.
Lord Kitchener during his recent visit
spoke in the most complimentary
terms of the men in charge OF the
mess after he had made a thorough
inspection of the mysteries Of the cleo
trio kitchen. Several Japanese Off
Gals have been likewise interested,
as was Prince Tsai Toa, the uncle Of
the Chinese emperor, who recently
came to this country to study army
methods.
All the bread used at West Point
is baked by electricity and mixed by
the same power The whole baking
from start to finish is completed with
at all except to push the pans into
the open. The great wooden bowl in
which the dough Is mixed has several
tunnels leading to it-One comes from
the -four department, another from the
yeast, and still another contains
water. By touching a lever the fun
mel is made to open and as much of
each of the ingredients as IS required
goes into the mixer Another lever
sets the machine in motion and the
dough is mixed. The loaves are then
cut by the same power and fall from
the cutting machine into the baking
pan in regular order. The cutter may
be set for any size and is frequently
used for rolls, thousand of which
are baked each day, together with
more than one hundred loaves of
bread. Once a week fifty cinnamon
tricity. All the eggs used in cooking
are beaten by electricity and one hun
bred eggs are soon brought to the
regulation lightness without the least
labor to the cook, who merely presses
button starting the eggbeater. and
else The housewife who labors an
hour to bring eggs to the proper light
ness for sponge cake can more readily
appreciate the labor-saving qualities of
the electric eggbeater than anyone
else 1t is no uncommon thing for
hundred eggs to be beaten in this
manner, for egg custard is one of the
favorite deserts of the cadets. The
electric potato peeler is the greatest
labor-saving device in the kitchen and
is the invention of an army officer.
About five barrels Of potatoes are
used daily, and the whole amount can
be peeled in half an hour. A bushel
of potatoes are put into the machine
at time, the lever is turned, which
sets the knives going, and inside of five

West Point. If 1t had been de-
manded by its founders that an
exquistely beautiful and peaceful loca-
ton should be secured for this, moth
ing more perfect could have been OBJ
tanned than the remarkable promOn-
for warriors has been placed. The
scenery on every side Is charming.
Glorious indeed are the glimpses which
one gains here Of the Hudson's wind
ing shores, to which history, poetry
and legend give undying interest. Blue
in the sun, f1ecked with light shadows
from the passing clouds, or dark and
wrathful meath a storm, this river Is
a constant source Of pleasure and fas-
cination. Paths of ideal beauty wind
about these hillsides, sun-sheltered
by the trees and rendered cool and
fragrant by the breezes from the NOV
ing stream. Old Rhenish castles, 1t is
true, do not remind us here of feudal
times. but history has left some traces
even on these banks which stir the

was. one of our most important mill
tary posts, from which our troops
were sent out to their various battle
fields. But it is the preparation Of

The process of preparation of food
for a large number of people is al
ways interesting, but especially SO
when it is prepared under military
tricity, as is the case at the military
academy.
