New Edible Mushroom

Professor Matruchot. the eminent French botanist, has succeeded in evolv- ing a new and delicious edible mushroom It has been cultivated from the wilt fungi which grow in the woods and on1s appear in the late autumn months. A number were planted in the vast cellars of the Paris observatory. and by care fnl treatment mushroom was created which grows all the year round. The stem is eight inches high and the head four to six inches in diameter. The new variety has been given the name of 'tri- choloma nudum." It's flavor is most delicate and captivating, and the coloi of the stems of the first specimens obtain ed was a purplish blue, but this is gradu- ally disappearing under extended cultiva- tion. The head is of a silky white, the inside a delicate cream

Wilson's Sister in Paris

Mrs. Annie Wilson Howe President Will
 sons sister, has become an earnest pro- moter of the Fresh Air Art society, an
 international organization now about 10 months old whose purpose is to stimulate healthy and rational ideas in every va
 riety of art. literature, music. painting and sculpture.
 Mrs. Howe is one of four honorary members, the others being the Princess Alexandrine Windisch-G Graetz of Austria the Earl of Plymouth and Lord Windsor Among the 90 members are Auguste Rodn. the sculptor: Camille Flammarion
 the philosopher-astr the Countess liartenau. widow of the Battenburg Prince of Bulgaria, and Lady Phyllis Windsor-Olive, who is reputed to do the
 most beautiful embroidery and decorative work in England.
 1 Some notable American members are | Grace King. the Louisiana novelist War l rington Dawson, the novelist of Charles. 1 ton, s. C.; John Powell, the composer | and Alice Stopford Green. the historian. 1 Dawson and Powell are the founders of l the society
 Mrs. Howe. who has been living here | for year. assisted in organizing interest in France in the principles of the society, which are as follows: We believe in the oneness of life Me believe in the oneness of art We believe in the eternity of art as standing for life Wherefore art is means. not an end Before the end can be conceived. life must be understood. Before life can be understood. it's responsibilities must be acknowledged That the end pursued by arts means may be true the life which art repre- sents must be true.
 l Wherefore life and art must alike 1 be founded upon conditions of sound body. nerves, heart and mind l But such a foundation must itself
 rest upon the great laws which have l promoted the evolution of life. That art may be controlled. it must contain qualities of reason and of con
 struction beneath all forces or subtle
 ties of appeal.
 That art may not only exist but may
 wax strong in the harmony which is l infinity. it must like life itself, obey the laws of health which combat de- cay.
 The great facts of human history have been those which bespoke the
 eliminating spirit of race; the great
 works of human art have been those which expressed the highest spirit of
 their own age.
 l To acknowledge that exploiters of
 superficial emotions or seekers after
 sheer eccentricity represent the spirit
 of our age, is to pronounce this age
 unworthy to be link between the pas.
 as we know it and the future as we
 have the right to desire it. l Wherefore we declare ourselves fo. the art as for the life which rest upon 1 a respect for natures laws in the fresh air of health and the clear light of truth.

ture of the surrounding air. This is done by the sweating process. Evaporation keeps the temperature. down.
 Ii can be worked out as a problem in physics that the food eaten in day by workman with an average appetite would produce enough heat to evaporate about six quarts of water at the tempera- ture of the body. An English medical officer, stationed in Indsa, where the tenn perature for months at time does noe fall below 100. reports that daily con sumption of about six quarts of water was required for a person taking con- siderable amount of exercise.
 It is necessary to drink plenty of water to supply the body with enough material for evaporation to keep cool.
 Incidentally 1t may be noted that hot weather, even in India. isn't necessarily unhealthful This same medical officer. pr. E. H. Hunt. who is connected with the railway service, reports that he has never come across case of sunstroke ii' a person known to be healthy. If man were slightly i'll. however, then the neas might make trouble if he over-exercised himself.

Why Heat Causes Thirst

From the Kansas City Star
 In hot weather you notice that you are constantly thirsty Often you feel that you simply can't get enough to drink. You needn't worry about the feeling. It merely means that the machine of your body is working normally.
 This mechanism is driven by heat en- zine. The food you eat has heat value just the same as coal. Its combustion keeps the heat of the body day and night at about 9s 2-5 degrees. Temperatures In the neighborhood of 100 degrees put some thing of strain on the mechanism regu- lating the heat of the body, for then the body must be cooled below the tempera-

KAISER WAS NEVER

Has Been There Twice, However New Edible Mushroom Evolved by Wilson's Sister
 Active in Art Society

Paris May 9-Professor Bergonle or Rordeaux. the eminent authority on die- tetios declares that the least suitable hours for meals are between noon ana i D. m. and between and D. m.-pre- cisely those hours which modern usaee has set apart for meals.
 According to the professor the meal hours that a rational hygiene would pre- scribe, would be as follows;
 The principal meal of the day should be taken at 7:ao a. m., or as soon ai'er as possible so as to obtain all neces sary energy for the days work ana 10 restore the liver, empted by the night abstinence. second meal. light lunch con of milk sugar and cakes, should be taken about 4 D. m. Finally third light repast at SEQ O. 9 D. m. would complete the alimentary regime.
 The professor adds that in family which has accepted his views this re- gime has been followed for six years furnishing excellent results as regards the general health of all the members Pro lessor Bergonie has also given much al tention to the application of electricity , in various disorders of digestion. lie mas invented an electric bed in which the passage of the current through the body of the subject sets up organic combus- tions similar to those brought on by musicular exercise and l,aders to reduc- ton of obesity. He claims that this will do as much good as the rowing and riding machines used ships without any exertion on the part of the patient.
 Kaiser Never Officially Received Mary of England, for which excepton- ally elaborate preparations have been made. brings to notice the fact that of all the crowned heads of Europe, Emperor William of Germany alone has never been officially received in Paris. He has, however. been to Paris twice. Tho first time he was only years old. He accompanied his royal parents on a visit to Napoleon lIi, and played with the prince imperial in the park of Baga- telle The second time was in June. ISIS, when 19 Incognito lie came with his tutor, Baron Frederick Drden. The first place he then visited was the Invalides and Napoleons s tomb. Then he went to see the Palace of Versailles where the German empire was proclaimed seven years before. He also attended perform ances at the Comedie Francaise and the opera, and made an ascent in captive balloon installed in the Tuileries. He has never been back since he became Elm peror, although stories of secret visits are not lacking.

Washington has riding club. the
 Riding club of Washington, which in- cludes in its membership men and women
 who are really experts in the saddle says the National Magazine. Once or twice year an exhibition Is given in the riding hall, which is the clubs headquarters and which was, years ago, market. These exhibitions are not merely such
 or putting a horse through the waltz
 step, but are out and out demonstrations of real horsemanship. There are jumping events which take rank with the best ever given at the big horse shows in-
 tricate figures such as are given by ex-
 pert riders in the army. many of whom
 from Fort Myer participate in the exhi-
 bitions The riders dance the lancers on
 horseback. even more gracefully than one
 accustomed to see in a circus and there
 are many real circus tricks on the pro- gram.
 In the group of expert horsewomen Mrs. r. M. Andrews, wife of Lieut.. An drews of the Second cavalry. Is regarded as the leader. Mrs. Andrews is a bride l of a few weeks and before her marriage was Miss Jeanette Allen. She Is the daughter of Lieut.. Col. Henry T. Allen, TU. s. A. and Mrs. Allen. There isn't a horse in the country that she's afraid of and the country doesn't present barrier in the way of a hurdle that she cannot take. Mrs. Andrews has been riding a
 horse since she was little girl and is az much at home on the back of a horse IS
 she is in her own boudoir. She has taken
 many prizes most of them first, and has been in the foreground of all things where the horse Is king since long before she made her debut. Mrs Andrews rides astride and wears the customary costume for this manner of riding. Mrs. Andrews has younger sister, Miss Desha Allen. who Is also an expert horesewoman. The two sisters are thoroughly trained in ath- letics and present striking example of l what systematic exercises and plenty of 1 fresh air will do for health

An Impression of Funston

l had been to see Bridadier General Funston at his headquarters in Texas City. and was coming back by the per- feet 22-mile roadway. part of 1t a cement causeway. jutting over the water that connects Texas on the mainland and the island of Galveston says a writer in the Kansas City Star.
 The general is not very much over five feet tall. and pretty fairly round every where. He has kind hazel gray eyes, at least they are kind sometimes, and they were today. He wears a little pointed beard that is graying and his hair is thin on top. He looks like a moderately suc- cessful retail merchant in a moderately
 small city who always goes homo to
 dinner at noon.
 But he is Funston of the three ware, and he distinguished himself in the last
 of them for feats of almost incredible courage.
 Today, it seems. begins his fourth, so you salute him respectfully and call him "sir''
 He doesn't return the sa1ute-perhaps civilians aren't supposed to salute, bue he shakes hands politely and says. have a chair as if it were his most serious job to consider the line of gents footwear you are trying to place with him. One rather expects the general with three wars behind him and another two days ahead, to have a grim poker face
 like Grants or an enlightened or inspir- I ing one like Sheridan's, or perhaps a
 grave and sorrowful one like Lees. But Funston hasn't any particular kind of a l face or an expression. Just a perfectly normal one. He could pass easily in a
 crowd. off the battle field. Perhaps on | 1t he looks different.
 The only apparent symptom of the pro- l fessional fighter was in his matter of fact references to brigades. strategic bridges and guns, as if they were 50 many cans of soup, salmon, or beans from his tor shelvee
