LESS COPPER ON CELERY
Warning to Grower Against Evils Re.
 sulting From Careless Spraying

The table celery which has been com ing into the market recently shows distinct improvement over last years In it's comparative freedom from cop per, according to reports received by the agricultural department. .says the
 New York Times. Copperoon celery is found in the form of dried Bordeaux mixture Qime and copper sulphate) which is used extensively to prevent the destruction of the crop by blight. The use of salts of copper in food pro- ducts has been pronounced by the referee board injurious to the health but, on the other hand, it has been found practically impossible to bring celery to market In good condition un less the plants have been sprayed at
 certain periods of growth with Bor- deaux mixture
 However careful the grower may be
 in his spraying. the consumer must also do his part. The punches of celery | should be broken open and the stalks
 washed and scrubbed thoroughly before
 they are eaten. This, chemical analysis
 shows. will remove nearly all of the | copper found in Bordeaux mixture from
 the stalks and eliminate danger of any bad effects to the consumer.
 l The department issued a warning to | growers last year, prescribing the
 methods of spraying and urging house. W1VeS to De parucularly careIul Tn washing all celery before using it. The effect of this warning Is becoming ap- parent, for the celery reaching market t
 is in better condition than in the past. In Investigating the question it was
 discovered that the presence of copper
 was due to faulty spraying apparatus,
 usually the employment of knapsacl sprayers instead of power outfits. These do not operate at a sufficiently l high pressure to make fine spray or
 mist. As result the Bordeaux mix | ture is applied i'll a number of fine | streams and these. instead of merely settling on the leaves. as a mist would do, run down between the stalks. This sometimes gives a blue green appear | ance to the celery, which many people l imagine to be due to Paris green; as a matter of fact, the green tint is that
 of copper stained lime. The leaves 1t is pointed out, should not be eaten
 under any circumstances

WHITE ELEPHANTS
 ARE WORSHIPED

White elephants are not white by any means, says the Chicago Daily News They are a dark cream color and so scarce as to be greatly przed by the nations that own them In Siam they are other Buddhist lands Money cannot buy them, and no king who owns one dares to sell it If he did so his people would think that the severest penalties would follow the action
 The King of Siam once sent among other presents to Queen Victoria a golden box locked by golden key. This box said to contain the most precious gift of all When it was opened it was found to contain a few hairs from the tail of the white elephant.
 The white elephant is of equal rank with the king. It has a stable Cor, more correctly, a palace) with P or 13 keepers. Only priests are allowed to serve the sacred beast The king of Siam owns two. Their tusks are encir- cled with hoops of pur gold, golden can opies hang over thir quarters in the stable palace and costly ornaments decor ate the walls and rooms, as if the king and queen lived there. Tn one stable is kept a white monkey, of almost equal ] importance with the elephant This mon- Key lb supposed 10 keep away the eVll spirits that might otherwise moest the elephant.
 When the white elephane Is captured there is great rejoicing. The king and court go out to meet him as he is
 brought to the capital. A great pro- cesslon follows with banners and music Tn house is prepared to receive him, and ! members from the nobest families in Siam are appointed to wait upon him | When he goes to the river to bathe he is escorted by other elephants. which are | supposed to be highly honored by this attention.
 | When a white elephant dies, the nation mourns. Funeral services of the most | elaborate character are held and the
 loss of the king himself is as noth- l ing in comparison.
 We can easily get another king" the l Siamese say, but where can we gel
 another white elephant?'
 l Fortunately, these highly honored beasts
 are of long life, so the Siamese are
 saved much unnecessary mourning.
