"GREEN WATER" OF THE NILE

The green water" of tie Nile is
quite a different thing from the green
water of the ocean. About April Is,
the Nile begins its annual rise and a
month later the effect is felt at Khar-
toum. A very curious phenomenon
accompanies this increase in the ap-
pearance of green water"
For long time 1t was believed that
the color came from the swamps of
the upper Nile lying isolated and stag
nant under the tropical sun and pol
luting the waters with decaying vege-
table matter. With the spring rise this
fetid water was supposed to be swept
into the streams to make It's appear
ance in Egypt.
Within recent times, however, this
theory has been abandoned. Now we
are advised the green water is caused
by the presence of -innumerable num-
bers of microscopic algae, offensive to
the taste and SMELL They originate
away up in the tributaries and are
carried to the Nile, where under the
hot sun and in the clear water they In
crease with amazing rapidity, forming
columns from $50 to 500 miles in
length.
The weeds continue to grow, die and
decay until the turbid flood waters put
them to an end, for they cannot exist
except in clear water
Offensive as in some respects the
green water is, it is hailed with de-
light by the Egyptians, since it's ap-
pearance is a sign Of the real flood
time and the close of the water

FAMOUS ORANGE TREE

In a garden a. Riverdale, CAL, is
treasured perhaps the most valuable
and noteworthy of trees in the Unhed
States. 1t is the orange tree brought
from Brazil in 1874 by the depart
ment of agriculture, and from which,
by budding. all the navel orange trees
in California are descended To this
tree are traced orange groves now val
ued at millions Of dollars and it was
the beginning OF a great industry Civ
ing work to hundreds of thousands Of
men. Towns and even cities have
sprung up from the yield of this tree
whose fruit now a0es to practically all
the great markets OF the world.
When the tree was transplanted to
it's present site, President Roosevelt
attended the ceremony. It's first fruit
borne thereafter was, in consequence,
sent to him, and his letter, acknowl-
edging receipt, was carefully pre-
served close by, together with a PHOTO
graph of the replanting of the tree.

A French Pear Dessert,

Every Frenchwoman knows the
value Of combining cooked fruit with
cereal for the family dessert. Here
is her fayorite way of serving pears:
Peel, core and cut In halves half q
dozen firm pears. Cook them slowly
for an hour in a strip of two cups of
water and one of sugar. Meantime
boil in double boiler for about an
hour and half cupful of rice in two
cupfuls of milk, with small piece of
butter and sugar, and vanilla to taste.
When the rice is cooked turn it into
Il mold. The French cook keeps the
rice warm while 1t is setting in the
mold. but it would probably suit the
American taste better to place the
mold on ice. When ready to serve,
turn the rice out on a round dish, and
arrange the pears neatly in a border
Pour over them the strip in which
they have been cooked, favored, If de-
tired, with a little rum.

A family in Minnesota that now en-

I'VE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try it We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked it.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, Just as
she had been in the habit Of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. 1t looked weak and
didn't have very promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. It certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with
look Of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and nezt morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil
ing began and then letting it boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all 80 pleased with 1t
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and cup of coffee was to him like pol

The coal mines of Maryland gave
employment in 1910 to $500 men. who
worked the unusually high average of
27O days. and although 81 per cent
of Marylands tonnage is hand mined
the average productive efficiency of
the miners is considerably above the
mean average for all the states. In
1910 the average production for each
man employed was SOS short tons Tor

chat the old st. Agnes light was too ex-

that its continuous and faithful serv-
