Washington, Oct. 22.-The following
is summary of the developments in
the Mexican situation today;
General Felix Diaz arrived at Vera
Cruz seeking the Mexican presidency.
Huerta 8 agents met Diaz outside the
harbor and urged him not to land until
after Sundays elections, saying he
might thus avert a national crisis.
Diaz refused to comply with Huerta 8
request or to make promises for the fu'
ture; friends believed his life in grave
danger.
Crowds greeted Diaz silently, fearing
Huerta S soldiers would open fire at the
first sign of enthusiasm.
Washington administration adheres
to non.interference policy unless grave
outrages against foreigners occur, but
admitted fear of such outrages.
American army and navy held ready
to act at a moment s notice.
German warship Hertha arrived al

Two French warships ordered to Mex
lean waters.
American government is displeased
by English attitude of friendliness to

UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian RevolutIonists.

Any one familiar with the construc-
ton Of modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose a cannon
made OF wood would be of little or no
value as a weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success. neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions in Cuba.
Haiti and In the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
of these crude weapons is very
tough variety, having a twisted grain
that curls about the log in such way
that to split the timber with the or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and a
piece of the log FIVE or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
Is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, It Is
swung up on a crude truss and hole
is burned into II from one end. The
log is wound with strips of rawhide
cut from the skin of a steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer is wound on,
and this Ia CO ntinued until the weapon
has increased several inches In diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore is finished the weapon is treated
to a hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success in number Of in
stances, and It is astonishing the num-
Der OF times they may be fired before
| they burst or become otherwise dis

Now / do not for a moment believe
that, If those mysterious portals were

Those without a hotbed will fill the
kitchen windows with seedboxes;
for many garden plants should be
started early, and the expense OF buy
ing plants Is much greater than that
of buying seeds. Besides, there is
pleasure in working even in a small
bit of soil after being shut from 1t
during the long winter months.
Tomatoes and peppers are among
the earliest seeds started. The soil
should be rich and fine. Back Of the
barn there Is often plot of rich soil,
evidence of former farm leakage.
though modern management has hap
PLY all but rendered obsolete such
waste, or leaf mould, enriched with
perfectly decayed stable manure will
serve the purpose well.
Pack the soil firmly in the boxes
and then sprinkle the seeds thlnly
upon the surface. Cover with a sprink-
ling of soil and moisten with tepid
water until 1t is quite damp.
Firm the earth down upon the
seeds. The next day 1t may be still
further pressed down and more earth
covered over-so that the seeds will
be covered to about four times their
own diameter and pressed in place.
This will still keep the seeds covered

RICE DISHES.

Rice is a cheap and wholesome food,
makes a most nutritious dish. Cream
is the ideal combination with rice, as
it supplies the fat to balance the
starch, and with the addition of sugar
we have a we'll balanced meal.
imperial Rice Puddins.-Soak a
third of box OF gelatine half hour
in a half cup OF water. Put pint and
a half of milk in double boiler; when
boiling, stir in a half cup OF rice, a
half teaspoonful of salt, and cook I'M
til the rice is perfectly tender. Then
add half cup of sugar. Remove from
the stove, and when cool add a tea
spoonful OF vanilla and the gelatine;
when cold add a pint Of whipped
cream. and put into a mold to harden.
Serve very cold.
Rice Flour cream.-Soak a half box
of gelatine in a pint of cold water for
a half hour. Put quart OF milk in
a double boiler; when boiling hot add
a tablespoonful of rice flour blended
with cold milk, and four tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Stir and cook until the
starch is we'll cooked, remove from the
heat add the gelatine and fold in the
whites of two eggs beaten stiff; flavor
with vanilla and set away In a mold TO
harden. Serve with whipped cream
and sugar.
Baked Rice custard.-Cook a cupful
OF rice. Beat four eggs with a cupful
of sugar, add little salt and quart
of milk Mix all together with the
boiled rice, flavor with cinnamon or
nutmeg, and few raisins may be add
ed If liked; dot the top with bits OF
butter and bake In we'll buttered pan
set in hot water. Bake until tested
with a knife It comes out clean. Amy
custard or souffe should be baked in
a hot water bath, as 1t is a saving OF

Warfare Against Plant Enemies

Look out for the insects in the win

quite likely there will be-wage
prompt and aggressive warfare
against them.
Probably the aphis will show up
most prominently. | used to dread
this pest more than all others. because
of the rapidity with which he breeds.
Now | find it an easy matter to
keep him under control. l do this by
the use OF the extract of tobacco. This
extract is very strong and a little Of
it goes a good ways.
A pint of it costs about $3.50, but it
will last the owner OF good-sized
window garden for years, because a
spoonful OF 1t will be sufficient for a
ten-Quart can OF water, and this will
be enough to spray forty or fifty plants
thoroughly.
1t is sure death to every aphide it
comes In contact with. 1t is much
cheaper, in the long run, than tobacco
for fumigation, and is much pleasanter
to use, as 1t gives of but little odor,
and this is soon dissipated, while to-
bacco smoke leaves its stale stencil
behind 1t for days. and clings to every
thing in the house.
Every owner OF window garden
should provide herself with a good
sprayer. The small bulb atomizers,
operated by squeezing, are OF little
practical use.
Better invest your money in such a
sprayer as the small gardener uses, in
which the atomizer and reservoir are
connected in such a manner as to
make a compact little implement, very
easy to operate, and capable of throw
ing a small stream or spray OF any de-
gree of fineness as you may elect.
With a sprayer of this kind II - an
easy matter to give your plants a
treatment once week, and that
ought to be enough to keep them free
from aphides.
In our overheated, dry-atmosphered
living rooms the red spider is sure to
do more or less damage unless some
thing is done to keep 1t in check. None
OF the emulsions, tobacco extracts or
other applications advised for use in
fighting plant enemies are of any use
here.
