TEXAS UNDERGROUND RIVER
GREATEST KNOWN IN WORLD

this is a stream flowing underground in
the same direction as the Rio Grande is
emphasized by the fact that the wells
sunk both north and south of a certain
belt of country extending to the north
west have failed to find water. although
going to q much greater depth.
1t is maintained by geologists that this
underground stream flows almost south
east from the Rocky Mountains to SUIT
tons County, Tex, and then flows di-
rectIy south for at least 100 miles, and
thence southeasterly to the gulf. Upon
this theory relative to the course Of the
stream the great artesian belt OF Texas
II accounted fo;. the claim being made
that the artesian wells tap the body Of
the stream. For a time there was a
theory that a portion of the southwest
section OF the State was underlaid by a
subterranean lake, but this theory has
given place to the later and more scien-
tific conclusion that a great underground
drainway sweeps southeastward from the
Rocky Mountains, similar In many re-
spects to the underground stream that
stretches southwestward across illinois
from what Is known as the "Kankakee
country"
The Washington herald., 1911-06-04

It is maintained by geologists and 9TH
ers who have given the matter atten-
ton that Texas has the greatest under
ground river in the world. 1t is main
tained that this is an underfiow from the
Rocky Mountains and that this stream,
several miles wide, sweeps across New
Mexico, the northwestern part Of Texas.
and from it the water supply from q
number of living streams. such as the
Guadalupe. and others, is obtained. Wells
sunk recently in the northwestern part
Of this State and at a number Of places
In New Mexico strengthen the theory
that such an underground stream exists.
1t is well known fact that in the
vicinity of Tucumcari. N. Mex. and
points Immediately south of that city
fine flows Of artesian water are obtained
at depth Of 500 feet. Recently while
sinking wells In search of oil-test wells
In the northwestern part Of Texas. hv-
ing water was struck at about the same
depth. At other points in Texas, too,
northwest of this city, fine flows Of wa
ter have been struck at even . less depth
than those mentioned. The proof that

LEARNING POKER AT SEA.

Lusitania Passengers Pay. $4,000
to Learn Great American Game.
From the New York Evening Sun.
1t appears that number Of passengers
on the LusItania, In the course Of her
last trip to this port, took lessons In
the noble game Of poker and paid some
SAG in good money for the instruction.
A distlterested looker-on from the far
West said that in his part Of the coun-
try. where gambling houses are open
and above board, he had never seen
such action" II sat and watched the
games hour after hour said he on
landing, and was amused at the signals
passing between the two professional
players and the ignorance Of their VIC
| tins. OF course. It was none of my busi-
ness to caution the victims. and they
evidently could afford to pay for their
| fun"
There was no row. no dispute, no COM
plants to the captain, no protest Of any
sort. The professionals got the money:
| their casual acquaintance got the ex-
perience. Everybody seemed to be salts
fed. and winners and losers parted on
| the best of terms.
1t will strike every reasonable man
and most moralists that this was a prop
er termination Of the adventure. Those
who. having the cash to spare, the time
| to spend. and the desire to perfect them
selves In a difficult art, select strangers
met on a steamship for instructors, ought
to be philosophical enough to abide by
the consequence. 1t is reasonable tc
! anticipatG the presence Of professional
card sharks on an Atlantic liner as to
! look for Representatives in Congress on
Pennsylvania avenue in Washington.
The man who plays with strangers and

when the snip reaches her pier Is as
ridiculous as the individual who want,
the community to help him get back the
money that he confided to a friend whc
had induced him to go into a wire-tap
ping enterprise.

HOW THE TURKS MAKE
THEIRFAMOUS CANDIES

II is we'll blended into the tfickened
Jelly and then spread out to the thick
ness of an inch on an oiled pan or dish.
and when II is quite cool it is cut into
cubes and busted thoroughly with pow
dered sugar and set in a cool, airy place
to harden.
This jelly paste is often pressed full Of
nuts or of bits of dried fruits.
The Oriental fudge is the genesis OF
our fudge, the delight Of the schoolgirl 9
heart. but the Oriental fudge never has
chocolate in it.
This is the way it is made.
One cup OF sugar. half a cup Of creamy
milk. a quarter of a cup of honey, and
the white on an egg.
The milk and sugar are placed over
the fire in a porcelain lined saucepan,
brought to a boiling point and permitted
to boil two minutes. Then the honey is
added and the whole is again boiled till
II can be made into q soft ball. Have
the white of egg stiffiy beaten and pour
half Of the boiling mass over 1t. Return
the other half to the fire and cook until
1t makes a hard ball when tested. then
pour into the first half and heat the
whole together until 1t stiffens into q
shallow pan. and when cooled sufficient
ly cut In cubes.
The Turks add nuts and dyed or crys-
talliZed fruits to this fudge foundation
and thus vary 1t greatly.
Marshmallow paste was first made by
the Turks.
For example. they make some fruit and
nut puffs that are delicious. and to make
them they use half a dozen marshmal-
lows, two cups of sugar. half a cup OF
honey. a cup of water. the whites Of two
eggs, half a cup of candied cherries, half
a cup Of crystallized pineapples and a
cup of nut meats.
The sugar and water are placed over
the fire and melted. then the honey is
added and boiled without stirring till.
when tested. 1t makes a firm ball. The
chopped marshmallows are then added
Just as 1t is removed from the fire, and
the whole is let stand covered for five
minutes that the marshmallows may
melt and blend into the whole. It is
then stirred gently to mix thoroughly
and then poured slowly over the stiff1y
| whipped whites of the eggs, beating
swiftly all the time.
When the mass commences to really
harden the fruit and nuts are added. and
II is cooled and then cut into cubes and
busted with powdered sugar.

The Arabians and Turks were the first
people In the world to make candy. They
are still the greatest OF all candy eaters.
Americans have been accused Of eating
more sweets than the people Of any other
nation, but the harem ladies Of the Orient
eat twice as much as we do.
This is the genuine way Of making
Arabian fondant.
Two cups of fine sugar. half q cup OF
water, and half a very shallow teaspoon
full Of cream Of tartar. These ingredients
are melted in a sauce pan. porcelain lined
and then boiled for six minutes. stirring
constantly. 1t is then poured out on a
shallow oiled dish or platter and partially
cooled. Then while still warm. 1t is
stirred steadily with a wooden spoon un-
til 1t grows creamy and white. 1t is then
turned upon a molding board. busted
thickly with confectioners' sugar and
kneaded like bread until its .is smooth.
1t is then placed in a deep bowl and
set aside to "ripen" for twenty-four
hours, after which time it is ready to
use and the Turks and other Orientals
use it as a foundation for carrying all
manner of candied and dried fruits. nuts.
citron, dates, figs, raisins. cherries, and
currants.
They also eat a great deal Of 1t just as
it is-a thick creamy paste. They also
mix with II gelatin that has been boiled
for five minutes in a little water in the
proportion Of two parts gelatin and one
part fondant. They cut this in squares
and dress 1t with powdered sugar, and
We are all familiar with this Turkish
paste, for we have the same thing
copied from the Orientals.
They also make a clearer paste with
jelly in it which Is in great favor with
the harem women, and which is now
being copied by the American confec-
TONERS and called Jelly cubes"
To make this the Orientals take any
clear, well-made, sweet fruit Jelly-quince
being preferable to any other on account
Of the delicacy OF its fiavor-ard boil II
down until II becomes stiff. to 1t is then
added some gelatin, in the proportion OF
one tablespoonful Of the granulated gela-
tin to a quart OF the jelly before boil
ing down. The gelatin is dissolved in q
little water and boiled for FIVE minutes.
