Can We Eat Cottonseed Oil?

f1OHl lesle s
 We don't have to ask Dr. Wiley for an answer to this question. President Taft answered it himself in his frank little talk at the dinner of the Interstate Cotton Crushers' association in New York recent ly. This is what he said without the fear of Dr. Wiley before him, and the state ment was loudly applauded: "Cottonseed oil is one of the best of table oils. It is competitor of olive oil and of peanut oil.' There was a time when, if anybody suggested that cottonseed oil should be used as a substitute for olive oil. he would have given pr. Wiley, the Wash ington food faddist a 1t And there are others.
 A great industry of this country Is man. ufacturing an excellent table syrup Whol- ly from corn, and it goes under the name of corn syrup" It is so called in the It. erature of the Agricultural Department. pr. Wiley has done his best and is still doing it to prejudice the sale of corn svrup by insisting that it should be called plucose Glucose can be made from other things besides corn-from potatoes ano rice, for instance. In Germany, where a syrup Is made from potatoes. 1t Is not called glucose It is called potato syrup" Some dav if the Corn Growers associa- ton holds a dinner and invites President Taft to speak before 1t, tho members will probably hear from the lips a good word for corn syrup It deserves it. Even pr. Wiley admits it is wholesome and healthy wilev's opinion is d matter of indifference. His opinion has been so thoroughly overruled by the reviewing board appointed by President Roosevelt that it has not the importance formerly attached to it.

Adventures of a Viceroy

From the Chicago Daily News.
 The native papers publish details of the recent escape of the Canton vieeroy and his family from the hands of the revolutionaries. He appears to have had a rough time, and his family suffered more than he himself The viceroX clam bered over some roofs, and was then ad- mitted into a small pawnshop. He was lowered from the roof by means of a rope made by tying together the gaters of his guards who were with him. He also, according to the report. put off his official robes and boots and clothed him self ia short clothes worn by the common people. In this way he managed to reach In safety Admiral Ii Chun's new yamen
 But his family was not so fortunate His father and son. as well as the women of the family, hid themselves through out the night in various Tlaees in the gardens attached to the official yamen. and were found in their hiding places on the following morning. It is stated that the women of the family were with out any of their ornaments when found, and the inference is that these jewels, or which all classes of Chinese women are fond were taken from their per sons, or perhaps they were snatcbed off by their wearers and flung away during the panic.
 ''On the following morning all the fam fly was found. The oldest son was dis covered hidden in a small cave of one of the mimic hills that adorned the yamer garden. The viceroy's secretaries and writers were scattered and had hid themselves where they could during those terrible hours. Some of them were found huddled together in the coolxhouses and other detached rooms and they were found to be in a deplorabe condition.

 baseball mana gers? A glance over the list of big league generals shows that the shortstop and first base positions furnish baseball with a majority fo the national pastimes directors-i chief. Another peep reveals the fact that there is little to choose, so far as man. agerial ability is concerned between the men that have advanced from the playing Armament to the leadership stage.
 Of the 16 major league managers, four had gained renown as first base men; four had made their mark as shortstops; three were formerly or are catchers; and one each has graduated from positions In center field, left field third base and pitcher There is missing in the managerial list only a second baseman
 The first basemen who are now man. agers are: Frank Chance, Chicago: Fred Penney, Boston; Hal Chase, New York Americans, and George Stovall, Cleveland. The shortstop delega ton in- cludes Hughey Jennings, Detroit, Hugh Duffy, Chicago Americans; .Rhodericll Wallace St. Louis Americans, and Will liam Dahlen, Brooklyn. The catchers who have made their marks as big league leaders are; Connie Mack. Phil adelphia Americans; Charley Dooin, Philadelphia Nationals, and Roger Bresnahan, St. Louis.
 As these three positions have given baseball most of its managers it would not be amiss to enter into a discussion on the respective merits of the men upon whom hinges the success of baseball
 Taking the first base division: Of the array, Frank Chance is the one who stands out most conspicuously. "Husl" has proven beyond a peradven- ture that he is one of the greatest managers that has even been asso- ciated with the game. Chance has per- formed the unprecedented feat of pilot ing d team to the National league championship three years in success sion Ever since Chance has handled the Cubs his team has always been

FOX FARMER OF NORTH POLE
Lonesome Life on Island of Debris,
 Getting His Mail in Beer Bottles

From the Seattle Post st-lntelligence. Alone on his little island in the North Pacific. where he never received visitors, T. Y. Smith, owner of the fox island of Middleton, has still had occasional com munication with the outside world by the beer bottle route. His island. which Is about 1000 miles southwest of Hinchin- brook entrance, seems 10 be so situated with regard to the sea currents that all debris cast into the North Pacific ocean eventually lands on it's shores. Wreckage and whales are frequently thrown ashore on Middleton island, but the most Inter- esting things, from Smiths point of view, are the occasional letters inclosed In bot ties and cast into the sea by travellers.
 In some instances these messages have 1oated in the ocean for as much as three years before being picked up by Smith. sometimes they reach him in a few months. One letter, evidently thrown overheard near the island reached him the following day It was as follows:
 Thursday, at sea, July 2S, 1910.-This bottle throWed from the steamer Alameda July 2S by Daisy Huber, S4 years old, dark hair and fair locker. If picked up by anyone would be glad to hear from them Address Daisy Huber, Lone Pine, Penn, W. R. D. No 4.'
 In June. 1906, Smith set adrift a mes sage from the north end of the island, notifying Valdez friends of his safe ar rival at home. This bottle came ashore on the other end of the island, nearly three years later, in Feb. 1900 Jan. 3, 19OS, note sent from the steamer tmatilla, Oct. 2S, 19O7 by MT and Mrs. J. r. Geise Mrs Katherine E. Riche and Mrs, D. E. Spinney, of Nome was picked up by Smith. and in February, 1911, he re- ceived the following bottled communi- cation: This bottle was thrown from the S. s. Senator Aug. F. 1910, at about 13o degrees 40 minutes, w. Longitude and 51 degrees 37 minutes. North Lati tude, by E. R. Morris, 425 Maiden avenue. Seattle Washington.
 Middleton Smith" as he has been named locally. has resided on this lone island for many years. During the fair weather In the spring he has been able to make his annual trip to Prince Will liam sound ports for supplies. During the balance of the year he sees no one. His island was stocked with blue fox about five years ago, and he has been so successful In this line that he has cleared over s10,oOo from the sale of furs.
 Tired of the solitude of fox ranchins Smith has sold his island to two local trappers and will soon leave for the states to reside.

sees in the group of bbliphiles, college
 professors, curators of museums, and collectors who fill the gallery, the slight girlish figure of Miss Belle Green, libra rlan for J. Pierpont Morgan. Repre- senting one of the richest men in tho world, and perhaps the most persistent and determined collector of them all. Is on sinecure for an experienced man, not t0 speak of a girl who is still in her twenties. Her competitors are men like Walter Hill, the dealer from Chicago; Herbert Putnam, Librarian of Congress- George D. Smith, who. representing Henry F. Huntington. secured the Guten- terg Bible for fifty thousand dollars
 Miss Green has been in charge of Mir. Morgan's library for the past six years: she is the guardian and it's possessor in every sense, and holds the key against all corners, even MT. Morgans own family, unless that gentleman himself is present. Before becoming MT. Morgan's libra riau Miss Green spent several years in studying rare books, and there is no one of her own sex who equals her in judg- nent of their values.
 Personally. the young lady who holds lhis unique position is dark, slender, and yivacious, with flashing black eyes, She lives with her mother in a studio apartment within a stones throw of her daily work.

Unenthroned Thomas

F'TOHl IHt luitI.f
 There are some names which seem pc culiarly suited to royalty; Louis, for in- stance. has kingly sound. Francis George Henry, in both spellAgs; Char les, William, Edward and James, all have served their turn Johns there have been, and Stephens. I remember Rob- ert In Sicily and a Peter in Russia and Servia. Frederick has often worn the crown and royal honors are even now paid to Ferdinand In Bulgaria. But was there ever, anywhere, a king named Thomas Oscars and even Haakens as cend the dais, but ever through all the centuries Thomas remains the subject, sometimes struggling up to Bishopric or an Earldom. but never attaining the crown. Nicholasses wear the imperial purple; Godfreys lord it over Jerusalem Alexis struts in ermine; Alexanders fare forth to conquest: Julius and Leo don the triple crown, but Thomas. poor pie bian Thomas, has never a crown to his name Now tell me, you who are wise in the occult Influence of names, what is the matter with Tom?

A Jap HumOrist

4 humorist, a real humorist, yet a Jap, and living early as 1900, is the unusual picture presented by Ian c. Hannah in his Eastern Aria: A His tory published in April by Stokes. Such figure is unexpected, in view of the fact that the smiling Jap, with his tense interest in mechanics, is often declared to be without a sense of hu- mor. But this excellent gentleman, named IlSku, in his "Hizarkurge,' gave a picture of Japanese feudal times on much the same general lines as the Pick wick Papers"
 Says Professor Hannah, "On his death bed in 1881. he gave to sorrow ing friends to be burned with his body some parcels, which they imagined con- tained the usual incense and fragrant woods. But when the last solemn rites were being performed and the priests and mourners were standing round, a izzing, popping and banging of fire works suddenly started from the fu neral fire.
