BLACK SHEEP ARE REQUIRED
Provisions for Army Uniform Cloth
In Case Of War--searohina for
Good Domestic Dye.

One OF the difficulties TO be met in
the selection Of a natural notified
brown for cloth for the army is the
shortage Of black or brown sheep, says
the Army and Navy journal 10 the
experiments con lucted in the quarter
master corps under the direction OF
Brig. Gen. Henry G. Sharpe It has de-
veIoped that it will require 20 per cent
OF brown or black wool for the cloth
under consideration. A less proper
ton of dark wool would produce too
light color of cloth and would not
meet the requirements Of the army.
In peace time, with the present
strength OF the regular army. there
will be no shortage of black wool, but
in the event Of war I, would be neces-
sary to use dyes in producing the
cloth for the uniform of large army.
To provide for this contingency, Gen.
eral Sharpe is now conducting inves-
LEGATIONS to determine whether do
nestle dye can be secured for coloring
cloth. Unless this can be done the
position of the war department will
not be improved by adopting the new
cloth.
The European war has called atten-
ton of the war department to the fact
that the present cloth uniforms can
not be produced without the use of
German dye-stuffs. This fact is re-
sponsible for the effort that is now be-
ing made to secure cloth that
can be produced without the importa,
ton of any foreign material. Not UNI
til the cloth can be found which can
be manufactured without the use of
such material will there be any change
in the uniform of the army.

GERMANS SINK FAMOUS BARK
Fiery Cross Was Partlcipator In Great
Tea Races of '6os--Outlived All
Her Contemporaries.

The Norwegian bark Fiery Cross,
recently sunk by a German submarine
of the Scilly isles, was the celebrated
China clipper that figured so promi-
nently in the great tea races of the
SOS, says the New York Times. She
was built in 1860 to replace the old
Fiery Cross, which had been wrecked
in the previous year.
Basil Lubbock. in his fascinating
work on The China Clippers" says:
"She was commanded on her maiden
voyage by Dallas, who had been so
successful with the first Fiery Cross.
Then Richard Robinson had her until
1866, and under these two famous
shippers she proved well-nigh irwin
chile, receiving the premium for. the
first vessel in dock on no fewer than
four occasions, and being only "a
hours behind in 1854 and 1866. Be
sides remaining in the forefront Of the
racing for years longer than any other
vessel, she outlived all her contempt.

In the great tea race of 1866, won
by the Ariel, the Fiery Cross held the
lead for a long time. and when in the
Downs was obliged to anchor because
Of gale that sprang up. In 1871 she
deserted the London trade for that OF

the Norwegians.

LESSON FOR KINGS STEWARD
Frederick William ~ Of Prussia Wac
Man Of Few Words-interestcd
Himself In Details

King Frederick william III Of Prus-
STA was a man OF few words: what
ever he had to say was always brief
and TO the point, as the following an
ecdote from foreign journal shows;
The king. who was accustomed to
interest himself in all the details OF
court management. ordered his stew
ard to take special pains to see that
all the carriages and wagons were
amply supplied with food and drink
whenever they left for a Journey Of q
day or so; but II sometimes happened
that the steward failed In his duty
and dispatched the drivers without
any food. giving them coin. perhaps.
to buy what they wanted. That usu-
ally meant that the driver went hun
CRY. as he did not have much oppor-
tunity to leave his horses and dine
at a shop or restaurant.
At length the king became aware Of
his stewards failure to carry out his
orders and awaited the next opportu-
nifty to bring the fact to his attention.
He had not long to wait. That night
the king stopped his coachman as he
entered the courtyard. and upon in
quiry found that the man had had
nothing to eat since breakfast. He
held out dollar in his hand that the
steward had given him to buy food
with. Without a word the king took
the dollar.
He went into the castle and sum-
moned the steward. That worthy APP
peared Immediately and made pro-
found bow; but as he raised himself
up he was surprised to feel coin
placed against his mouth.

But, your majesty, L"
Eat it," the king again roared.

"Oh. you can't? But you expected
the coachman to! Well. in the future
Just remember that-that people eat
food, not money. Do you understand? ?"
The steward understood; in the fu-
lure the kings coachmen were amply
supplied with provisions whenever
they went upon journey.-Youth's

Everyone hates to break in new

mind two Milwaukee inventors, Harry

have patented No. 1.140,599, a machine
for breaking in shoes in which there
is an endless belt travelling over a

FISH FARMING NEW INDUSTRY
Method of Livelihood That Is Begin
ming to Attract Good Deal
of Attention.

A new method of livelihood, as well
as new method of living, is afforded
by fish farming, which is rapidly
growing industry. 1t may be a lazy
mans job, but for development be-
yond an addition to the family living,
of course, it takes time and attention.
A running stream or an acre of pond
can be made to earn more money than
well-tilled five-acre farm. says the
Peoples Magazine. The national
government, as well as many states
through their fish commissions, not
only gives free instructions in fish
farming, but will also supply the
young fish or eggs most likely to
thrive best in the locality But best
of all perhaps is the recognition that
farmers all over the country are COM
ing to- that a private fish pond is a
splendid source of food supply 1t was
no long time ago when such thing
had not been thought of. Now gen.
orally there is comprehension that
such private pond costs little to
maintain, and is almost sure to fur
nish far more fish than any one fami-
ly can eat The demand for fish
adapted to this kind of pond culture
is greater than the supply, and farm
ers enterprising enough to have ponds
have no difficulty in selling the prod
uct. Many farmers sell eggs as well
as fish to other farmers and to the
governments of state and nation.
Private fishing clubs are a great aid
in the same way. Fish can be
shipped anywhere if they are kept
cool and moist, and this makes it
easy to find a market almost bound
less in extent But fish, of course, are
subject to diseases that at times
cause large losses, and the official
fish service is at work constantly
finding out these diseases and their
remedies Most of these diseases, it is
said, come through impure water
caused by contaminated streams. Ii
the water is kept pure, the fish farm
er has little cause for worry as to his
crop"

SUPERIOR TO NATURAL ICE
Many Reasons Why the Artificial
Product Has Advantageous
More Sanitary.

Artificial ice made from distilled wa
ter, in Clearly way, is free from dis
ease germs; the same cannot be said
of natural ice produced from waters
of varying degrees of purity. There
has been a too-common impression
chat water purifies itself in freezing,
and even that ice made from polluted
sources is sterile, and therefore safe.
1t is true that freezing eliminates
many of the impurities. AS the tenn
perature falls in the quiet winter
nights and the sheet of crystal forms,
the impurities, the organic matter, the
mineral salts, the bacteria are thrust
downward. But the elimination is not
complete.
For two reasons ice made from pol
luted water is itself likely to be pol
luted. First, certain quantities of the
foreign substances in the water, small.
it is true, but none the less objection
able, are frozen into the ice. Sec
ond, ice is usually formed by alter
nate freezes and thaws through the
early winter, followed by continued
cold weather that finally closes the
lake or river The ice that is cut often
includes, therefore, certain amount
of snoW-ice or surface ice that has
had no opportunity to eliminate its i'm
purities, and retains everything that
contaminated the water of which it
was made.-The Companion.
