go to Boston in the same space of time that it takes him to reach his home in the suburbs of New York after his days work is done in Manhattan. When you contemplate the risks this involves, it is apparent why it does not appeal even to the most daring of present day aviators.
 But l don't believe in it. At least. I don't approve of it for the present. The speed mania. already. is too prev alent among aviators. They are speed mad. They are sacrificing safety to speed. I strongly condemn prizes of fered at this time which will provoke reckless operators to drive their craft at even greater speeds than have been recorded The test of an aviator's skill and of the mechanical perfection of his machine is demonstrated much better and with much more safety in altitude flights. The only qualification of speed races to the spectator iS in the possibility O. a catastrophe. The alti- tude flight makes an appeal to his imagination and arouses his admiration for the courage of the aviator in an en- tirely different manner."-New York American.

by the importation of livestock and household goods in carlots by prospect i've settlers from Utah In cars con- taining such goods. alfalfa hay and other material likely to harbor the adult wsevils is frequently shipped, and disastrous consequences are most cer- tain to result in the near future unless steps are taken to supervise properly shipments of this kind.
 In this emergency Arizona is with out means of protection, having no adequate law nor available appropria- ton to meet the situation. Further more the steps that should be taken to hinder the spread of the alfalfa weevil are to a large extent protective to all alfalfa growing sections in the United States outside of the portion of Utah which is already infested It is believed by your memorialists that it is a mat ter of national importance that every reasonable effort be made to protect against the spread of these insects.
 In consideration of the facts and cir cumstances which have been stated, we respectfully urge that in addition to apprOpriating the sum of flO.OO0 for investigating the alfalfa leaf weevil, as requested by the chief of the bureau of entomology, there be appropriated the sum of $25.OOO for the purpose Of devising means for checking the spread of this pest. and for. practical work in accomplishing this end by locating and exterminating incipient isolated col onies by cooperating with common carriers and by other means.

LoNpoN's HISTORIC GATE.
Temple Bar, Once Lined With Human
 Heads, Is Now for Sale.

LondOn-An agitation is being made to restore old Temple Bar to the city. not to where it formerly stood for more than a couple of centuries at the junction of the Strand and Fleet street, but to erect it in some place such as the public gardens on the Thames embankment.
 Temple Bar was one of the most historic of the city gates. It had on it statues of James |. Elizabeth and the two Charles. and in the stirring days of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries many a human head decor ated it's upper spikes. Its existence British monarch wishes to enter the city he has to pull up and ask permis- sion of the lord mayor.
 Tn 1877 it had become SO serious an obstruction Co the traffic it was removed. The city sold it for trif- ling sum 10 Sir Henry Meux. who re- erected 1t at the lodge of his country home. Theobald's park, a royal hunt ing place in the days of the Sturats. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren. the architect of St. Paurs Cathedral. in 1G7O. Now that with the death of l.ady Msux, who survived her hus- ban .. the estate is to be sold, the city lis being strongly urged to buy the old Bar back.
 Johnson was passing under the old gate one night to his rooms in the Temple when the wind blew down a skull which broke on the pavement at his feet. Boswell tritely remarked that so Tdssed the glory of the world Johnson replied that but for luck they might have gone that way themselves

THE TUNA CHEESE
 OF THE MExlCANS.

A shipment of five tons of tuna | cheese from san Luis PotoSi to san Antonio. Texas. on December I. 1910.
 marks the first serious attempt to in | troduce this article into the markets of the United States from this dis trict. IL is reliably reported that next season New York commission house will buy considerable quantities here | for the New York market The tuna cheese industry has been of local inn portance from time immemorial. and San Luis Potosi has hong been the great tuna market of Mexico. There is a probability that this shipment will lead to the introduction of the article into the United States on a commercial scale.
 The variety of tuna most favored for making cheese is the tuna car
 dona (Opuntia steptacantha) of a beet-red color with white spines; but the tuna pachona is also used. The food qualities of this fruit have been fully set forth in bulletin ll6 of 1907 of the United States burueau of plant industry by David Griffiths and k. F. Hare. The cheese is made by sim ply boiling and straining the tuna pulp until the proper consistency is reached. It is of a chocolate color. pleasant to the taste. wholesome and slightly laxative. Sometimes nuts or flavors are added. and the product is more appetiZing when taken with milk Various notifications would soon suggest themselves to dealers in the cities Of the United States to inn prove the taste and render the prod uct more attractive.
 Both the fruit and the cheese are cheap. because of the abundant sup ply. lack of means of preserving the fruit and because the cheese is made by hand labor in the household. The cheese sells locally in season at ? cents to cents gold per pound at re- tail in the public markets. Although it keeps in good condition indefinitely. little attempt has been made in the direction of storage or export.
 The term cheese is descriptive only of the consistency of this product. IL is rather a confection. and will be sold in the United States in small pack ages as a confection. If it should take the fancy of customers in the United States it offers a chance for an enterprise profitable to pro- moter and beneficial to this section An export demand for these native products not only raises their price. but stimulates the price of land and encourages cultivation. The expe- rience here is that when a native product finds a reliable export mar ket it means the prompt exploitation of that product on a commercial
 1E .I.slg sxfla md guayule The native market in gen. eral is as yet scarcely sufficient to force proper provision for preserving. storage and distribution. or to insure uniformity in the quality and prepa- ration of many native products.-Con- sular Report.

FouR-Room HOUSES s1 A YEAR

The Rev J. F. Dickie, pastor of the American church in Berlin. when in Augsburg. Germany. a few weeks ago. found a little city in the heart of the city that was shut in all by itself with two gates and is called the "Fug gerie." It is so called because the lO6 houses within it were built with money left by Gugger. the wealthy sixteenth century banker.
 When he died he directed that these houses should be built and then given to poor aged families for 4 marks and 12 pfennigs rental a year, that is eX- actly one American dollar. They have four rooms and kitchen. with a little front garden and a little garden be- hind.-From the Christian Herald.
