HOW THEY MAKE
TEA IN MOROCCO

In his article on the little-known
Moroccan city of Rabat in Harper's
for May. Sydney Adamson tells of the
curious ceremony of tea-drinking with
letter from the Basha Of Tangier.
Moorish rugs, Tin brilliant barbar-
Gus coloring, covered the finely tiled
floor. Around the walls, richly COW
cred cushions lay for one to sit upon
cross-legged. The Governor sat up
on one in front of a raised dais. His
brother and nephew, young man
who wore his fez rakishly on one side
were seated near him. Our party oc-
cup.ed the remaining cushions. In
the hallway slaves awaited. Behind
the Governor on the dais stood a
handsome brass bed richly hung with
silken curtains and spread. Shereef
explained that the Governor rested
there when he would have no one dis
turb him, or he might honor a guess
by its use. On the walls were sever
al clocks in pairs, all going, and all
wrong.
I'VE conversed while the slaves
brought a silver tray and tea-service
of Turkish gilded glass, a great ket-
tie with charcoal stove inside, which
boils its own water, and trays heap
ed with rich cakes. But the office
OF making tea itself always rests with
a gentleman, and is never performed
by a slave. The good-looking young
nephew with the rakish fez honored
US. First he warmed the pot Then
he took large lump of loaf-sugar so
big that his hand could not surround
1T, and thrust it into the pot. A bfg
handful of freshly gathered mint fol-
lowed the sugar, and then a sufficient
quantity of the finest green tea com
pleted the charge. The boiling water
was then poured over this, and for
the usual five or six minutes it was
permitted to stand. A slave then

Hartford, April 27-John L. SAKE, of
Waterbury, Democrat, was named by
Governor Baldwin today to be fac
tory inspector for four years from July
1, 1911, to succeed George p. Mclean
of Ellington. The nomination was re-
ferred to the committee on Executive
Nominations in the Senate.
A favorable report was received by
the Senate today on the Spellacy res

labor conditions of the wage earning
women and minors in Connecticut.
The bill provides for appointment by
the Governor of an industrial commits
sion of five to conduct the probe and
to report April 8, 1918. The field of
the investigation is to be very wide
one, not confined to mercantile estab-
Eshments as provided in the original
resolution, and is to cover age. labor
conditions, home work, hours of work,
wages, responsibilities and competition
with men. Also, the methods Of pro-
noting the women's and children S

thetic wants is to be the province of
the commissions investigation.
The members of the commission are
to serve without pay. The power to
compel attendance of witnesses is
given the commission.

THE FLOOR OF THE OCEAN.

The ocean has been sounded in
nearly all directions with modern ap-
planes, and these soundings show
that the floor of the ocean consists of
vast undulating plains, lying at an
average depth of about two and a
half miles beneath the surface Of the
waves. In some places huge ridges
and cones rise from these submerged
oms of the sea surface, or they may
rise above the surface as volcanic
islands and coral atolls. The great
est depth hitherto recorded is in the
Challenger Cor Nero) Deep in the
North Pacific-5.269 fathoms. If
deep. $500 feet of water would roll
over the peak of this, the highest
mountain tin the world. The great
est depth in the Atlantic is in the
Mares Deep. between the West Indies
and Bermuda-4,662 fathoms. The
3,828 fathoms, in the Wharton Deep,
between Christmas Island and the
coast of Java. We now know fifty
six of these deeps where the depth ex-
ceeds three geographical miles, ten
areas where the depth exceeds four
miles, and four places where it ex-
ceeds five miles.
The sea, as all the world knows is
salt. 1t is safest where strong dry
winds blow across the surface, as, for
instance, III tie CTaO0-WlnQ regions
and in the Mediterranean and the Red
Sea. 1t is less salt toward the poles
and in the deeper layers of the ocean
1t has long been known that the very
salt water of the Mediterranean flows
as an undercurrent outward through
the Strait of Gibraltar, and thus af-
fects the salinity of the deeper waters
of the Atlantic over a wide area. AL
though the amount of salt in sea wa
ter varies, the composition of sea-
salts remains very constant; slight diff
ferences have, however, been noticed
along the continental coasts, lin the
polar regions, and in the water in d.
rect contact with deep-sea deposits
The temperature of ocean water
varies at the surface from % degrees
Fahrenheit at the poles to over 80
degrees in the tropics. The cold wa
ter toward the poles has an annual
variation of less than ten degrees
Fahrenheit at anv one spot, and the
warm water of the tropics

grees Fair. in a band that nearly en-

FACTORS IN RAILWAY
ACCIDENTS.

According to Accident Bulletin 81
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the number of persons killed in
train accidents during July, August
and September, 1910, was 321, and
the number Of the injured was 1892.
Accidents of other kinds are SAID
to have numbered 22,328-2,948 per-
sons having been killed and 1880 In
jured. This includes those accidents
sustained by employees while at
work, by passengers in getting on or
off cars, by travellers at highway
crossings, by persons doing business at
stations, etc., by trespassers, and 9TH
ers; but excludes industrial acct
dents and accidents to employees re-
sulting only in slight injury. These
figures, which read like statistics from
some seat of war, are, 1T should be
remembered, for but one quarter of
the year and for the single industry
of transportation. Some accidents,
as clearly appears from the bulletin,
are due to the element of human fall
heed signal, or an operator delivers
an incorrect order. They indicate
the need for installing, wherever pos
sibie, safety devices, in regard to
which Europe is said to be far ahead
of the United States. Another cause
alleged by a practical railroad man
is tendency among railroad en-
ployees to make haste by cutting red
tape. A third cause is the deHiber
ate, cynical disregard of human safety
which foreign observers are prone to
consider an American characteristic.
This is a factor which is not evident
in the accident bulletins; but that
community is fortunate which has no
witness to it's presence. Chicago, for
instance, has the notorious death
strip" q section of double street-car
tracks laid so close as barely to per-
NIT cars going in opposite directions
to clear each other, thus sentencing
to be crushed to death any unfortun-
ate-young child, aged. infirm unin-
formed or merely needless person
who happens to be caught between
two such cars. This particular strip
was constructed with full knowledge
of it's possibilities, the street-railway
companies offering the amazing ex-
tenuation that the public would "be-
come educated" to the danger. This
expectation, DIT may be added, has
been justified; at least, those members
of the public whose education has
been finished on the death strip
would now fill a small cemetery. This
is merely one example. There are
others in other cities. When the
people are awakened to the possibili-
ties and the necessities of the whole
situation there will be a change. The
reputation of this country for care
lessness with regard to human life is
not an enViable One.-JOurnal Ameri-
