Facts About Tea.

For many years the New England
colonists had no tea, chocolate or cof
fee to drink, for those were not in use
in England when America was set
tied. In 1890 two dealers were licensed
to sell it in '.publiQue' in Boston.
Green and bohea tea was sold by the
Boston apothecaries in 171f. For many
years it was also sold, like medicine in
England, by the apothecaIfss and not
by the grocers. Many queer mistakes
are on record through ignorance of its
proper use. Many people put the tea
into water and boiled It for a time
then threw the liquid away and ate
the tea leaves. In Salem they did not
find the leaves very attractive, so they
put butter and salt on them.

the army engineers, which, when COM
pleted, will set Uncle Sans short cut
through the continent up as rival to
New York's Great White Way and
which will make navigation safe at
all hours of the night, is described by
James Pattison in paper read before
the convention of naval engineers and
architects. Mr.. Pattison was one of
the engineers who assisted In making
the plans. To accomplish this dou-
BILE row Of automatic acetylene lighted
buoys are being placed along the ca
nal, and the channel will be further
defined by powerful rapid flashing
range lights, which will be stationed
at various points along the waterway.
Through the Culebra cut or wherever
the proximity Of the bank permits bea-
cons will be installed instead Of buoys
Acetylene was selected instead of
oil for the lighted buoys, Mr.. Pattison
explained, because of its superiority
to oil for the purposes Of the case at
hand. Burned in a self luminous
burner, he said, acetylene gives an in
tensely concentrated white light, com
parable only to sunlight and five times
as powerful as the light from oil.
