Many varieties of mushrooms, little known in this country or in Europe. are to be found in Japan. The most esteemed of these Is the shii-take. which is principally grown on the ev- ergreen oak
 Trees about six inches in diameter are felled and cut into lengths of six feet. The logs are scared on the back, and are laid on the ground for about three years. Then they are stacked in rows in a shady place. and soon become covered with the mush- rooms. After yielding one crop the logs are soaked in water. beaten with a mooden mallet and again set up- In a few days new mushrooms begin to sprout on them. The shii-take is a great favorite in Japan, being used in many dishes, but most frequently in soups-Harper's Weekly.

Novel DaInties.

The kumquats CT little oranges" that come in boxes at the fruit store are a source of wonderment to many persons who have never used them themselves or happened to meet them on others tables. The way they are served by an uptown chef is this: He covers a plate with endive leaves that have been chilled and then covers the leaves with kumquats that have been sliced very fine and allowed to stand for an hour or two with a covering of sugar and sherry. The salad is dressed with oil and vinegar.
 Alligator pears are another mystery to a good many American housewives who have departed from traditional lines. The pears to be delicious should be a little soft, and they should also be very cold. Cut the pears in half. arrange them on individual plates GOV cred with white lettuce leaves and fill each cavity with French dressing. The pears are eaten with spoon, like muskmelon.

WOULD SAVE TOWER
Chicagoans Protest Against Raz-
 ing of Historic Landmark.
Great Pile of Masonry Which Sur Vived the Disastrous Fire of 1871 Very Rich in Romance and
 Tradition.

Chicago.-Shall the oldest landmark of the north side, a spot rich in tradi- tion and romance, the only remaining monument of the time of Chicago's victory in her greatest struggle for life, be profaned by a city's commer- cialism and destroyed in the name of economy?
 Shall the silent sentinel of stone, the ivy-mantled tower where sweet hearts were wont to meet. where chill dren played and heard wondrous sto- ries of other days, be reduced to 8 shapeless mass of stone and scattered all over the city?
 Is it not possible to preserve the picturesque gray tower of the old Chi cago avenue pumping station to pos terity to serve as memorial of the great fire of 1871?
 These are a few of the questions had read of the plan to tear down the tower of the Chicago avenue pumping station in the interest of municipal economy. This ancient landmark stands at the foot of Millionaire row" North of the famous old structure are the homes of the rich. Since 1867 the tower has stood as a constant re- hinder of the permanence of the work of the city's founders.
 Members of the Chicago Historical society joined in the storm of protest against tearing down the tower. They were unanimous in the sentiment that
The Holbrook news., 1911-08-25

this landmark should be preserved and made one of the show places of Chicago.
 When Chicago began to burn, the evening of October 8, 1871, terror stricken citizens fled north to the tower in the belief that the fire would be confined to a narrow district. The following day the fire reached the tower and roared about it's base, de- stroying the machine shop and adja- cent buildings. The pumping engines were stopped and the walls of the en- zine house began to crumble. The roof and floors of the other buildings gave way, but the tower stood firm while the flames raced northward
 The great pile of masonry was pre- served when repairs were made, and since that day has been rich in tradi- ton and romance.
 Many stories of the tower deal with the romances of some of the richest sons and daughters of Millionaires' row. An eloping couple is said to have been married at the top of the tower. In the days of old thousands of young men and maidens wandered up the stairway to the summit to plight their troth.
 The doors of the tower were locked long ago. The only magic key that will unlock the door is in the keeping of the city authorities.
 The city authorities hold now that disintegration has begun and that the tower must go. This theory is denied by members of the Chicago Historical society, who declare that the tower was built to stand 10000 years and that there Is no danger of it's crum- bling for generations. Hundreds of visitors gaze in awe at the old tower every day.

ODD ANIMAL FAMILIES
SOME STRANGE ADAPTATIONS
 HAVE BEEN NOTED.
Friendly Relations Often Formed Be tween Cats and Dogs-Story of French Chicks That Had
 Feline Foster Mother.

The cases in which cats and dogs have formed close relations are, of course. too numerous to mention. It nal friendship so strong and lasting as that between cats and dogs when once it is formed. It is well known that mother cats when deprived of their newborn progeny will adopt puppies, rabbits, monkeys or almost any other tender young creatures that may be handy. But there recently came to light case for which there is no such apparent explanation.
 cat and female fox terrier, which had brought into the world their progeny at about the same time, deliberately swapped their young, the cat taking the puppies to bring up and the dog the kittens. The ex- change was satisfactory, and both lit- ters were brought in good health to the weanable stage. Nobody knows what led to such abnormal conduct.
 A somewhat similar case Is reported there having a female cat and a fe- male dog with families of young, felt that his house was in danger of be- coming a sort of Noah's ark, and took away and drowned all the kittens. The puppies found favor in his eyes.
 Deprived of her little ones, the cat began to "spelT' the female dog in taking care of the puppies. As soon as the mother dog left her nest the bereaved mother cat crawled into it and nursed the puppies. Nothing loath. the puppies took all that came to them, and throve prodigiously. The cat licked them and took care of them as she would have taken care of her own.
 A certain cat, the story of whose career is vouched for by cat club, adopted litter of young rabbits and nourished them well. This cat was, for that matter, very sociable and in- elusive in her Hkings. One year her constant companion was a chicken. The two ate habitually out of the same dish and slept every night in the same inclosure.
 There is an authentic story of a male and a female cat in France that lived on terms of perfect amity with all the animals on the place-dogs. chickens and what not It so hap pened that a hen which had a brood of seven chickens was killed accident ally. The cat, which some two weeks before had been deprived of her kit tens, appeared to observe the predica- ment of the seven little chickens. She crawled into their nest and the chick GUS. looking for warmth, nestled into her warm fur. peeping gratefully. The chickens, fed by their owner. throve perfectly. and every day the strange sight was presented of their follow ing the mother-cat about the premises, as if expecting her to find them food after the manner of a hen.-New York Press.

GERM IN ICE
MOST OF THEM ARE DESTROYED
 WITHIN ONE MONTH.
Some May Survive, However, and Epl. demles of Fever Have Been Traced
 to Use of Polluted Ice.

It may be of interest to those who are in the habit of putting up their own ice for summer use from a near by pond, or stream, to know that the use of ice is not so dangerous as the use of the water from which it is formed, so far as typhoid feyer is concerned. Although the typhoid fever germ, and the germ of diphtheria, as well, can withstand a temperature of BIO degrees F. below zero, for several days, experiments with ice made from polluted water have shown that when the water freezes, the majority of the typhoid organisms are soon destroyed. However, the few that do survive, die of slowly, and 1t is these few that outlive their fellows that have been the cause of serious epidemics in a few cases. According to Parke, not one in a thousand lives in ice longer than one month, and all are dead at the end of six months.
 Relatively few outbreaks of typhoid fever have been traced to the use of obtained to show that the thirty-nine cases of typhoid at the St. Lawrence hospital, near Ogdensburg, N. Y, sev- eral years ago, were the result of us- ing polluted ice. Several months be- fore it was used the ice had been cut from the St. Lawrence river, about three miles below the outlet of the Ogdensburg sewer. Living typhoid germs were found in samples of the melted ice examined after the break ing out of the epidemic.-Walter G. Colorado Agricultural Col lege, Fort Collins.

 Almost as important as getting the right sort of motor Is the finding of the secret of automatic stability of aeroplanes. More has been learned in the last twelve months about the swirls and turmoils that beset the nav igator in the fields of air than ever plane will have to become a steady, well-balanced machine under varying conditions before 1t can surpass the automobile in popularity and general use. Many devices are being tried to accomplish this end. There is no doubt that the problem will be solved satisfactorily before long, and that tAe annual death roll of the aeronauts will be cut down considerably.
 A great many enthusiastic people have been urging their governments to stop building battleships and spend their millions for air craft They have pointed out that for the cost of one Dreadnaught an aerial fleet that would darken the sky could be con structed. In fact, the nations of the world are feverishly preparing for aer- ial warfare. Great as has been the rivalry between the great powers to build and equip battleships. the rivalry between them for mastery of the air is fully as keen. Even the United States has caught the fever and within. few months expects to have 150 aer- oplanes under its command The last congress appropriated $125,000 for the purchase and building of aeroplanes for naval and military purposes. The aerial corps is already under organiza- ton and the most noted aviators in the United States are now commis- stoned officers in 1t. The Aerial corps of the regular army has been seeing some service during the maneuvers still under way in the southwest and have done scout duty for the marching columns.
 The air of the United States will be full of machines duSing the summer. As in the old days, the nation relied for It's fighting sailors upon the sea- faring men of the New England coast; in these later times it must rely upon the citizen aviator to aid in manning its machines in the event of a conflict
 In Europe the military use of the aeroplane is well recognized Russia has given orders for the purchase of 300 warplanes of the latest type. Ger many has anywhere from thirty to fifty dirigibles and a score of aero planes carefully guarded in her mili- tary department. England is nerv- ously arming with warplanes. that she may be able to defend the air as she has long held the water. Italy is strong in the fighting potentiality of these new creatures.
 A frst-class steel warplane costs ST BOO in the open market. The mod ern battleship costs nearly $10,000,0 ,0O0. so that the cost for one battleship a good-sized fleet of aerial craft might be assembled. In France the manufac- turers are behind with their orders. They have been swamped with orders during the past few months and have enough now to keep them busy for a year.
