HOLD Strange WATER CarnivaIs

OF these carnivals is not known, but IL
is supposed that they represent a general
revolt against the parsimony Of nature in
Withholding water for so long a period
of the year.
During the progress Of such a carnival
in Callao no one in the street is safe
against showers from roofs, balconies
and doorways. In Lima, crossing the
Cathedral plaza, the unwary pedestrian
is given a good shower. BY late in the
afternoon the water froliC has assumed
such proportions that even those in car
riages are doused. The streets, from
pavement to pavement. are completely
drenched. While hundreds of men, wom-
en- and children are showered during the
course of the day. none shows resent
ment, but all accept the dOusing in true
holiday spirit.
In addition to the crude weapons OF
this water warfare-dippers, pals and
pitchers-there are the more refined i'm
plements known as chisguetes. These
are TOYS whereby jets of water can be
thrown directly into the face of a passer-
by. Those armed with these weapons are
AT liberty TO open their batteries upon
anyone at hand. Often the stream thus
proiected will be colored with harmless
pigment. for the purpose of imparting to
the luckless ones face a carnival hue.

on ICEBERGS

FLOWERS blooming on iceberzs
would certainly be a rare sight, but
travellers in the northern portions Of
the Pacific and sometimes in the North
Atlantic have witnessed this strange but
very beautiful spectacle
1t appears that some animals carry on
their feet a growth of moss. which is de-
posted on the ice while II is attached to
the mainland in Polar regions. In time
this decays and forms a shallow soil, in
which the seeds of buttercups and dande-
lions often find a lodging. borne by cur
rents of wind which doubtless caught
them up in some Southern cline.
These take root and bloom when the
great cleaning iceberg floats out to sea
and is carried southwark. where the soft
winds melt the surface and give the
plants the moisture they need.

- EARCHING for clam shells in the
Mississippi River has been the
source of fortune to hundreds of
wealthy manufacturers. The search for
the shells is not a difficult one but there
is much competition. The shells are
used to make buttons, pins and other
decorative things.
There are thirty varieties of these shells
found in the Mississippi. yielding only
two colors. pink and white The white
shells are used in button making, as it
is difficult to match the pink ones. Among
the other varieties are the "buckhorn,"
a shell with brown color on the outside
and shaped very similar to an oyster.
The butterfly is among the rarest, the
name being derived from the shape OF
the shell.
"Nigerheads" and "Muskets" are two
of the white species that are used most.
These are the best for making buttons.
The shell is only of one shade of white
and is very easily sorted
The first two varieties grow in beds,
which sometimes cover 400 to 500 acres,
and are from four to eight feet deep.
They multiply, one on top OF the other,
until they reach within two feet of the
surface of the water at low water mark.
The bed is always in deep water and in
protected places, such as the mouth of a
bay or slough.
Another variety known among clam
diggers as the elite of the clam family
is the sand she'll" which is not found
in beds, but travels around on sandy
beaches and sloping mud banks, and in
the spawning season, which is May, it
has the power to make itself buoyant
and float off with the current
The supply for a constantly increasing
market is almost inexhaustible, the work
is easy, and not only is there profit in
gathering the shells. but occasionally

Keep quiet the night before you sail
Pick the largest boat possible and one
that has little vibration. Get your cabin
fairly we'll amidships. Apply for a deck
chair early and have it put amidships.
Avoid the habit Of lying in your chair
and watching to see how far forward the
horizon line is going to run along the
rail of the next pitch. Keep out on deck
as much as possible. If you get to feel
poignantly miserable, and conclude that
you would feel better if you could only
have it over with-usually a wise con-
clusion-get up suddenly and poke your
head into the smoking room, or take a
look over the rail, or walk away out on
the stern. Any one of these is an ex-
cellent precipitant. Take some regular
exercise every day. So long as you are
we'll, be careful of your food But the
moment you become sick, eat anything
you want. Heavens knows you won't
want enough to hurt you!

Be STOICAL IN SEASICKNESS

Two problems with regard to seasick-
ness have never been solved: what
causes it and what cures It, The
ships surgeon of a giant liner says:
Its popularity is that it is not amen
able to any one line of treatment or to
any one drug. What helps one may be
of no use whatever to another. Many
of the so-called remedies are worse than
the original complaint Why not be
stoical about it? The fact remains that,
after a spell of seasickness, unless too
severe, one feels much the better for it.
Bismuth and soda, tincture of iodine,
chloral, veronal, stay in bed, don't stay
in bed, flannel bandages, chewing cloves
TO keep the stomach warm, whisky and
soda, blue glasses-the list of alleged
remedies has no ending. Alas! they are
for the most part but snares and delu-
sions. But some measures may be taken
that will make your misery short-lived.

Your FOOD
MAKES You
WHITE or
BLACK

vHAT you eat determines your color,
NAI according to Bergfeld, German
" investigator Not necessarily that
you yourself could effect any
change in color. but your ancestors for
thousands of years have unconsciously
been Influenced by the foods they have
eaten and the drinks they have drunk.
For instance, the original men were
black, says Berield Their chief diet was
of vegetables and fruits, he explains, and
these same foods contain manganates
that are not unlike iron. Dark browns
and blacks result from this combination.
1t is a scientific fact that negroes who
drink milk and eat meats are never as
dark as those who eat vegetab ables.
He goes on to add that the Indian is
red because for hundreds, and perhaps
thousands, of years he has taken into his
system the haemoglobin, or red material
in the blood of animals which he has
killed for food.
Again, Monguls are yellow because
they have descended from races that
were fruit-eating, who, making their way
into the deepest hooks and widest plains
of Asia, developed into shepherds and
lived largely on milk. OF course it is
known that milk contains a certain per-
centage of chlorine and has a decidedly
bleaching effect. In the case of Cau-
casans, they are said TO have become
white by adding salt to their foods,
which common salt is a strong chloride.
and powerful in bleaching the skin.

For FIVE minutes the surgeon washes

this he spends another five minutes doing

Not content with this cleansing process,
however, he must now put his hands

WHY POISON IVY P0ISoNS7
French Scientist Discovers Cause in
the Presence of Prussic Acid
In the Plant.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery
both to scientists and laymen; why
and in what manner 1t causes the pc
culiar rash and irritating infamma-
tion have puzzled both botanists and
physicians. At last the reason has
been discovered. Doctor Miranda Of
Paris read to the Academy OF Sciences
in that city recently the result of his
study OF the poisonous weed.
Poison ivy contains prussic acid
This is found principally in the young
leaves and buds; in older leaves there
is very little OF it,
In three and one-half ounces Of
young leaves there is about a quar-
ter of grain OF the acid
AS with other plants I'm which prus-
sic acid is found, the poisonous sub
stance does not exist in it's perfect
form. but develops as soon as the
leaves are bruised. a chemical action

engine with a glucosid
