Excursion to ltshmus.

The Pacific Mail Company's steam
er Peru sailed October % for Balboa
direct, inaugurating an excursion
service to the Isthmus. The eXcur-
sion will extend over thirty-fve days.
The fare of S175 includes all expen-
ses on the voyage, as well as a weeks
stay at the Tivoli Hotel at Panama.
The Peru will be able to accommo-
date ninety first-class passengers, and
it is understood that she will have
full list. If the excursion is a sue
cess it is predicted that there will
be similar trips made in order to
give the public an opportunity to
view the canal and the workings in
the lower coast zone.
Log Rats Menace to Navigation.
Disintegration of log RATS at sea
recently has brought strenuous pro-
tests from ship owners, but it would
appear that the construction of these
cradles of Oregon fir is to continue
indefinitely. One of the shippers,
Benson & Co., is quoted as saying
that it is the intention of that concern
to send out another raft as soon as
it can I've assembled. The big saving
in this form of transportation puts
the menace claimed by navigators
somewhat in the background, for it
is maintained by shippers of log RATS
that the menace is largely one Of
imagination-no disaster of serious
import having been reported for
many years.
Water Rates at Panama.
The Panama Railroad Company has
changed the rates for water supplied
to vessels at Colon and Cristobal, as
follows: Five hundred gallons or
less, $3.50; sol to 1000 gallons, SO;
1901 to 1900 gallons, $3.50; 1901 to

COLD STORAGE FOOD
NOT ALWAYS GOOD

In Chicago recently a banquet
was given for which the menu was
prepared from food which had
been in cold storage for many
months. The object of the banquet
was to prove that food even though
stored for a long time is both
healthful and palatable. 1t only
proved that some food may be
palatable and harmless after such
storage. No one has ever denied
that when properly handled and
surrounded by the necessary con-
'ditions. food can be kept in cold
storage in fairly acceptable
condiion for comparatively long
periods of time. If this banquet
committee could not have found
some acceptable food from among
the millions of dollars worth of
ancient materials in the various
warehouses. the cold storage of
food products as a business would
have been terminated long ago on
account of financial failure. Cold
storage is good thing. 1t has
been used. in crude way, in
country cellars and spring houses
for generations, says The Journal
Of the American Medical Associa-
tion. Its modern development
has add>d immensely to the posi-
bilities of our tables. but like
many other good things, it is
frightfully abused. In order to
get good results, one must have
good material to store, and must
be able to prevent harmful chang
cs during storage. The condition
by governmental authorizes of
millions Of puonds of cold storage
food shows the lefects of the ac-
iual sysem in at least one respect.
1t is only by the constant vigilance
of health officials that greater and
more dangerous abuses are pre-
vented. The fact that the ban
queters found the food palatable
and survived is beside the point.
If banquet such as this had been
an adjunct to campaign for pre-
venting the abuse Of cold-storage
methods. for limiting them to
their Legitimate field and for per,
fecting the methods of handling
food products, more would have
been accomplished by the cold
storage people in overcoming the
prejudice of the public and in pop
ularizing cold-stragc goods.

MOVING TROOPS BY RAIL

Let us suppose it became nee
essary to send the entire national
guard of New York out of the

railroads to handle tbem?" was
asked railroad official in New
York.
"Twenty-fours hours easy" was
the instant reply. This is under
war conditions remember which
means that everything give way to
the movement of troops and their
equipment. The railroads of Amer
len can handle men and war mater
ials of all kinds including every
thing from horses and men to can
non and rations mach faster than
they can be assembled and deliver

ditions the railroads are prepared

ANCIENT LEGEND

According. to the opinion of the
old historians and the commenta-
tors of the Koran, God created
from the remainder of the clay of
which Adam was made the kulsecr,
or cocoa tree, which is found in
abundance in the Indian islands.
1t produces nut which is brought
to Anatulia and RoOmili. The in.
terror and oily part is nurishing
and terrifying food. The shell is
worked into spoons and cups of the
size of mans head. 1t is a round
black nut on which all the parts Of
a mans head may be scen-mouth,
nose. eyebrows, hair and whiskcrs
before it was formed from Ad-
ans clay. A wonderful sight!
From the same clay God created
also the Wakwak, found in India,
the fruit of which resembles
mans head, which. shaken by the
wind, emits the sound of wakwak.
Finally was created also the palm
tree from the remainder of Adam s
clay at Kufa, near the water Tin
moor. This is said to be the reason
why the palm trees of Kufa. Me-
dian and Ommanu are straight and
upright. like the stature Of a man.
If you cut its branches it does
not only no harm to it, but grows
even more, like the hair and beard
of men, but il you cut off the head
of the palm tree it gives a reddish
juice like blood, and the tree per-
ishes like r man whose head is cut
off. -Evila Efendi, "Travcls."

BLACK FRIDAYS

In England the term Black Fri
day was first applied to Dec. 6,
l745 the day on which news
reached London that the pretend
or, Charles Edward had reached
Derby. Again on May IL, 1866,
when the failure of a large English
discounting institution brought on
a most disastrous panic the day
was called Black Friday. On the
day Of the suspension of the Bank
OF England raised the rate Of dis
count 9 per cent. Wild specula-
tion in gold in NewYork and Other
cities eliminated in monetary
crash on Sept. 16, 1875, that
swept oIsanls of firms an indi-
viduals into financial ruin and
caused commercial depression
that extended into the eighties of
the last century; hence the origin
of the term Black Friday in the
United States.

TUNGSTEN IS A RE-
MARKABLE MINERAL

The mineral tungsten (thc name
meaning heavy stone) has been
known for many years, but only
comparatively recently has it be-
come Of economic Importance. The
most important use, according to
Frank L. Hess.of the United States
geological survey, d.the one which
makes tungsten mining on an ex-
tensive scale possible. Is an alloy
for tool steel. Lathcs using tools
made from tungsten steel may be
speeded up until the chips leaving
the tool are 30 hot that they turn
blue, an operation which would
ruin the temper Of high carbon
steel. 1t is stated that about five
times as much can be done with
lathes built for such speed and
work as can be done ty the same
lathes with carbonsteel tools. From
16 to 20 per pent of tungsten is
ordinarily used in lathe tools. The
melting point Of tungsten is ex-
ceedingly high -5.576 degrees F.
Tungsten also has an important
use in making incandescent electric
lamps, crucibles for electric fur
naces ard various other articles.

HOW THE MATE GOT SQUARE

The mate had been enjoying
days jamboree and in the ships
log for that day the captain had
inscribed the following:
Mate drunk today"
On the following day, after he
had sobered up, the mate was
scanning the log and when, he
observed what the captain had
written therein as to his conduct
of the day previous, he sought him
out.
Captain, you're not going to let
that stand there in the log, are
you?" he asked.
"You were drunk yesterday,
isn't that true?" asked the captain.
Eyes, it's true" replied the
mate, somewhat shamefully, "but
if it stands in the log see what a
predicament it will put me in
with the owners Of the ship when
we 20 ashore '1
well as long as it's true it
stands in the log" said the captain.
A few days later the captain was
scanning the log and he came
across the following:
THE captain is sober today"
The captain recop nized the wit
ing as that of the mate and he
lost no time in calling on him.
What do you mean By inserting
in the log thai I am sober today"
he asked.
cts true, isn't it," the mate
inquired.
"Of course it's true, / was
never known to be drunk in all my

DYKES VETERANS
KIND TO OLD FOES

SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts,, March
3d. Fifty years after the opening of
the great struggle between the South
and North, the members of A. P. Hill
Camp of Confederate Veterans, of
Petersburg, Virginia, have given to
Massachusetts, a plot of ground near
that city for the erection of a monu.
ment to Massachusetts soldiers who
were killed in front of Petersburg.
A. p. Hill Camp was entertained in
Springfield last summer by Z. p. Wilcox
Post, Grand Army of the Republic. The
site for the memorial belonged to Crater
Farm and is two miles from Petersburg.
Crater Farm is so-called because OF
the crater.shaped opening made when
the men of the FOrty.eighth Pennsyl-
yania Regiment tunneled from the
Union picket line under the Confederate
Notifications and blew up a portion of
them. A large number of Confederate
soldiers were buried alive when the ex-
plosion occurred, and their remains are
yet there.
