RHUBARB IN THE SPRING
Enthusiast Glasses Vegetable as Com
posite OF Early Sunshine and the
Song Of the Robin.

There are many "rhubarb recipes
for spring days" They are for fritz
ters and pie. And their very sounds
put a smile on life. There are some
people who affect to look down on
rhubarb as a sort Of plebeian dish.
unfit for patrician palates. Such peo-
pie defraud themselves. They revel
in their own %prejudices. Rhubarb is
the very essence of spring, a happy
composite of the early sunshine and
the song of the robin. OF course, hard
hearts cannot see it thus, for rhubarb
was made for gentle souls.
But the f~ritters and the pie are not
SO much the melody of spring as the
sauce, when brought forth by a grace,
a smile and a sweet thought. It is
these that awaken the morning sun
in the plant and melt the dews and
start the birds to singing. Prejudice
and vanity will never do it. That rudy
glow in the sauce is. the reflection of
the heart, and if it is not there the
heart is not in it. Oh, there be rhu-
barb sauces that are an insult to
spring and make the appetite banker
for kraut and turnips, but the real
sauce, from which the. spirit of the
opening syear sings it's song of faith
and love-that is the sauce that turns
rugged life into tender sentiment and
changes hunger into delight.-Colum,

There was but one vacant chair;
and as she saw Warrington nowhere.
Elsa assumed that this must be his
reservation. She was rather glad that
he would be beyond conversational
radius. She liked to talk to the
strange and lonely man, but she pre-
ferred to be alone with him when she
did so.
She began as of old to study care
lessly the faces Of the diners and to
speculate as to their characters and
occupations. Her negligent observa-
ton roved from the pompous captain
down to the dark picturesque face Of
the man Craig. Upon him her glance,
a mixture of contempt and curiosity.
rested. If he behaved himself and
made no attempt to speak to her, she
was willing to declare a truce. In Ran
COON the man had been drunk, but on
the Irrawaddy boat he had been sober
enough. Craig kept his eyes directed
upon his food and did not offer her
eve a furtive glance.
He was not in a happy state OF
mind. He had taken passage the last
moment to avoid meeting again the
one man he feared For ten years this
man had been reckoned among the
lost. Many believed him dead, and
Craig had wished it rather than be-
lieved. And then. to meet him face to
face in that sordid boarding house had
shaken the cool nerve of the gambler.
He was worried and bewildered. He
had practically sent this man to ruin.
What would be the reprisal? He
reached for a mangosteen and ate the
white pulpy contents. but without the
customary relish. The phrase kept
running through his head: What
would be the reprisal? Fol- men OF his
ilk never struck without expecting to
be struck back. Something must be
done. Should he seek him and boldly
ask what he intended to do? Certainly
he could not do much on board here,
except to denounce him to the officers
as a professional gambler. And Paul
would scarcely do that since he, Craig.
had a better shot in his gun. He could
tell who Paul was and what he had
done. Bodily harm was what he really
feared.
He had seer Elsa, but he had worked
out that problem easily. She was sure
to say nothing SO long as he let her
be; and with the episode of the hat
pin still fresh in his memory, he as
suredly would keep his distance. He
had made a mistake, and was not like
ly to repeat it.
But Paul! He finished his dessert
and went off to the stuffy little smoke
room, and struggled with a Burma
cheroot. Paul was a smoker. and

When Mayonnaise curdIes.

No matter what the cause mayon-
naise is found to curdle almost as often
as it stays smooth. There is no rea-

A p%recaution which every cook will
be wise to take is in boiling milk

Are you expecting evil?"

She saw the SILVER that ran over
him; she saw his eyes widen; she saw
his hands knot In pressure over the
rail.

he whispered.
Abruptly, without explanation, he
walked away, his shoulders settled, his
head bent. 1t was her turn to be
amazed. What could this attitude
mean?

But he disappeared down the COM

I'D SO did Elsa. She felt indignant
at one moment and hurt at another.
The mans attitude was inexplicable;
there was neither rhyme nor reason in
it. The very fact thai she could not
understand made her wonder march
beside her even in her dreams that
night. She began to feel genuinely
sorry that he had appeared above her
horizon. Just before she retired she
leaned over the rail, watching the re-

listened. She might have imagined it,
for at night the ears deceive. "Jah.

the mufled plant of Rajah.
Next day. at luncheon, the chair was
still vacant. Elsa became alarmed.
Perhaps he was i'll. She made in
quiries, regardless of the possible mis-
Interpretation her concern might be
given by others. Mr.. Warrington had
had his meals served in his cabin, but
the steward declared that the gentle
man was not i'll, only tired and irrita-

All day long the sea lay waveless

and warmer grew the air.
Starboard was rugged up for cricket,
and the ships officers and some of the
passengers played the game until the

There was little enough space to walk

Martha grew troubled and perplexed.

GERMANY'S LOSS.
Big Changes in Colonial Possessions
Which Have Been Lost Sight OF.

While our eyes have been fixed on
the tremendous dramas of Flanders,
Warsaw, the Argonne, Gallipoll, we
have lost sight, perhaps, OF the mo-,
mentous changes that have taken
place in Asia in Africa, in Polynesia,
says the American Review OF Re
views. While few hundred feet OF
trenches have been the reward OF
months of heroic fighting on the bat
tlefelds of France, enormous areas
elsewhere have changed hands; IN
Africa, territories equal to the COM
bined areas of France and Germany,
in Asia and Polynesia, areas larger
than the British Isles. And the loss
and gain of these vast regions is like
" to be permanent, deciding the his
tory of Asia, Africa and the Pacific
for generations to come. 1t is nota-
BILE that just century ago Britain
gained an enormous colonial area,
acquiring from Holland, then under
the dominion of Napoleonic France,
a chain of colonies stretching round
the globe, of which the Cape of Good
Hope, Ceylon, the Straits Settle
ments, and British Guiana were the
most important. The changes in CO.
lonial empire created by that world
war have already made a century of
momentous history.
A year ago, Germany's colonial
empire contained something over
million square miles in Africa; an
area roughly, equal to the United
States east of the Mississippi River;
with about a hundred thousand
SQUARE miles in the Pacific, made up
Of German New Guinea-Kaiser Will
helm Land-with the Bismarck Arch
ipelago along its shores, and an enor-
nous number of smaller islands, con-
tanned In the Solomon, Caroline,
Marshall, and Samoan groups. This
German colonial empire was just
thirty years old, its foundations hav-
ing been laid by Bismarck in 1884,

sand square miles in the CAMERON
country in West Africa were conceal

PRIMITIVE WEAPONS.
Searched From Out of the Centuries
Dust Heap.

Aeroplanes, submarines, super
dreadnaughts, poinson gas bombs and
all of the new terrible instruments of
modern warfare seem strangely in
consistent with some of the primi-
tive weapons that the European ar
mics have searched out of the dust
heap of centuries, says the October
American Boy.
Seven hundred years ago the cross
bow was at the height of it's popu-
larity in the Crusades. A relic of
the days of chivalry, it had been dis
carded for centuries when some
French troops discovered that it was
a most effective instrument for
throwing bombs into the enemies
trenches. 1t is exactly the same old
cross bow-only instead of the ar
row, bombs are shot.
But you will have to go back to
the Old Testament days, nearly three
thousand years ago, to the time when
the catapult, found in Russian
trench by the Germans, was dread
ed engine of war. Assiah used cata-
pults to defend the walls of Jerusa-
lem, according to End Chronicles,

catapult is used to throw bombs in

into which the caves subterranean
waters empty. This section of Ken
lucky, where may be found limestone
beds frequently reaching a thickness
of 500 feet, is noted for it's rocky
grottoes, sink holes and caverns.
The rocks in the vicinity of Nam
moth Cave give evidence of but lit
tie disturbance by the dynamic forces
of past ages. 1t is such areas OF
limestone deposits, with comparative
ly level strata and located somewhat
above drainage level, with small
crevices or joints, that furnish the
conditions for the formation of un-
derground passageways and cham
bers by the chemical and mechanical
agency of underground waters.
From geological viewpoint Nam
moth Cave is of comparatively recent
origin, it's formation having begun
something less than 100000 Years
ago, in the Pliocene age, The cave
action began after Green River had
cut it's channel down into the lime
stone stratum which underlies this
section. The rain water with it's car
bonic acid contents, seeped through
the overlyiHg earth and passing into
and through the crevices and joints
of the stone, at that time above the
level of the river, began the work OF
solution and erosion. These under
ground waters gathered along the
planes of least resistance, and as the
crevices grew in size more and more
of the surface water was drained in
to them, and as Green River cut it's
bed deeper into the limestone under
lay the cave waters kept pace with
the process until what had once been
mere subterranean rills grew into
that remarkable underground stream
known as Echo River, which now
flows through the lowest levels of the
cave and empties into Green River.
During the ages it has been at work
dissolving the stone and cutting it's
way along where resistance was least,
ever seeking lower levels, it has left
behind it the twisted, tortuous pas
sageways and large galleries and
chambers which form this mightiest
of all known caverns. According to
biologists, it took Green River near
ly 100000 years to cut away its
present bed, so the cave is estimated
to be almost as old. 1t first came
into prominence during the war Of
1912, when the United States govern
ment needed nitrate to make pow
der. Some of the large entrance
chambers of the cave had formed the
winter habitations for myriads of
bats for many ages, and as a conse-
quence the soil had become convert
ed into guano beds with a large nj
trate content. AS a result the cave
became nitrate mine whence much
of the powder supply for the young
nation was obtained.

How Old is Mammoth Cave?

Doubtless everyone in this country
who can read knows something OF
the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. On
the other hand, there may be quite
number who know very little about
how this and other similar caves
were formed, how old the Mammoth
Cave probably is, what service 1t per-
formed for. the youthful government
OF the United States during the war
of 1872, and various other interest
ing features connected with this
greatest of all known caverns OF the
world, brought out in an article in
the September number of the Bulle-
Tin of the Pan-American Union,
Washington, D. c.
From time immemoriap'-to
quote from the Bulletins article
caves have been objects of interest
to mankind. Around them have
clustered legend and superstition, in
them men. have found habitations
!. for the living; refugees for the pur-
sued, secret temples for the practice
OF their religious rites, and mauso-
leums for their dead.A In ancient
days they were the abodes of sybils
and nymphs Of Roman mythology;
in Greece they became the temples
for the worship of Zeus, Pan, Diony-
sius and Pluto, as we'll as the homes
of the oraeles of Delphi, Corinth, and
Mount Citheron; in Persia they were
connected with the worship of Mith-
ras, and in more modern times popu-
lar fancy in Europe peopled the mys-
tery-enshrouded caves with elves,
fairies and evil spirits galore
But after all, caves are but the re-
suits of, perfectly natural forces
working beneath the surface of the
earth just as they do upon it's face,
and for the sake of convenience may
be divided into three classes: G)
those formed by the action Of cur
rents, the force of waves, and the
grinding of shingle against cliff on
a rocky seacoast, which forces grad
ually hollow out caves in the weaker
places, of which those found near
Bar Harbor, Maine, may serve as ex-
amples; (2} those found in volcanic
regions, formed by the subterranean
flow of lava, or by the expansion of
steam and gases, such as those in the
klamath Lake region in Oregon,
which are so large that they often
served as efectual hiding places for
the Indians in the early days of the
conquest of the West; and CD those
which have been cut out of calcare-
Gus rocks by the chemical action of
carbonic acid in rain water, combined
with the mechanical friction of the
sand and stones set in forcible mo-
ton by the streams of water which
have flowed through them for ages.
These last are the most numerous and
most important in size, and it is to
this class that Mammoth Cave be-
longs.
\ AS most people know, the cave is
in Edmonson county, Kentucky,
