New York-The question as to the
total amount of American and foreign
investments In Mexico has been much
discussed in Wall street since the sit
uatlOn on the border reached a crlti-
cal stage. Estimates run from $1,000
100000 to $1,000 100000 and most
banking houses with Mexican connec-
tons are agreed that the lower figure
was altogether too conservative.
For many years, in fact since the
Mexican war, American capital has
poured into northern Mexico because
of the enormous mineral resources of
the states of Sonora, Chihuahua,
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
Many millions also have gone into
the sections around Tampico, where
the great oil wells are situated and
great sums have been invested in the
rubber plantations Of Tampiche and
Yucatan. ......o...

Public Utilities Investments.

American capital has also gone into
public utilities In large amounts, and
American bankers and their clients
have very large Investments in the
Mexican National railways and their
subsidiaries.
The national railways of Mexico
alone have stock issue of $3.50, 100000
and bonds aggregatlng $4950OO,OOO.
The Mexican government owns 81 per
cent of the outstanding capital stock
and II substantial amount Of the
bonds. and the remainder IS owned in
the United States, Great Britain and
France. The preponderant interest,
however, in the minority stock is held
abroad. 1t is said that about 20 per
cent only is held in this country. This
is also true Of the bonds.
French investors have been the
hardest hit by the financial difficulties
of the Mexican railways resulting
from the series of revolutions that has
taken place in the last four years.
Cash dividends and interest have been
suspended for several years altogeth-
or, although some of the obligations
have been paid In scrip.

COLOR OF SEA WATER.
From Tropical Azures to the Vivid
Greens Near the Poles.

Why is the ocean blue? Reflection of
the sky, you say. This accounts for
some Of the color. but not all. It is
we'll known that the tint varies great
ly in different localities. Persons TAX
ing sea water baths on ocean liners
are always surprised by the very no
ticeable color of their morning tubs.
Color in sea water is largely a mat
ter of sadness and density. In the
tropics the tremendous evaporation in
duced by the blazing sun causes the
water to be much saltier than in high
er ATTITUDES. For many miles north
and south of the equator the water of
the worlds al is q deep blue which
fades and changes to green the fur
ther n goes toward the poles, In
the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the
green's are almost as vivid as the
tropical azures. China's Yellow sea
derives its color partly from the mud
dy water poured in by its great rivers
and partly from small organisms
which exist there in numbers which
exceed the 100000 900 living creatures
to the square mile found on the aver
age.
The question of salt in water brings
up our old friend the Dead sea, which
contains % per cent of solid matter
and, bulk for bulk, is heavier than the
human body. Many believe, even in
Jerusalem. that bathing in this IA
nous body of water is harmful and
swimming impossible. This is not the
fact. The chloride Of magnesia in the
water possesses medicinal qualities if
it is not permitted to get into the eyes.
1t is true that the density of the water
renders fast progress in swimming diff
fcult, but the impossibility of sinking

Women and the Arts,

I believe that woman loves the arts
better than does man. She is better
ground for the development Of a great
artist, for she approaches art with
sympathy, while the great bulk Of men
approach it with fear and dislike,
shrinking from the idea that it may
distort their self ~complacency. The
prejudice goes SO far that, while wom-
en- are attracted to artists as lovers,
men are generally afraid Of women
who practice the arts or they dislike
them. 1t is not a question of sex; it
is a question Of art.-W. T.. George in

PRUDENCE IN EATING.
HeaIthful Diet For a Person of Indoor
Occupation.

OSSoHok'0is
In the American Magazine DR.. Il. L.
Bowers gives IL diet suited to the aver
age wealthy person of indoor occupa-
ton.
AN ordinary domestic egg equals
about eight grams of protein. This is
approximately the amount contained
in Il cubic inch of steak or in a half
pint glass of milk. A generous slice of
bread contains about four grams of
protein. The quantity of potatoes or
,iinarily dispensed at q meal equals two
and Il half grams.
"Allowing for our inability complete
ly to extract all the protein from any
given amount of food and convert it
into assimilable pabulum, a liberal
modicum of albumen would be twice
Hindhede's protein formula, or fifty
grams-this, remember, for an entire

therefore a regular egg, five ounces
Of beefsteak and a glass of milk should
supply for t~wenty-four hours all the

nee of the diet should consist of
starches, sugars, fats and plenty of

CHIMMEYS ON LAMPS.
Why They Prevent the Lighted Wicks
From Smokinu,

When n lamp is burning without a
chimney it generally smokes. That is
because the oil which is coming up
through the wick is being only par
tally burned. The carbon. which is
about one-half of what the oil con-
tains. is not being burned at all and
goes off into the air in little black
specks with the gases which are
thrown off. The reason the carbon is
not burned when the chimney is off is
that there is not sufficient oxygen from
the air combining with it as it is sep
arated from the Oil in the partial com
bustion that is going on.
To make the carbon in the oil burn
you must mix it with plenty of oxy-
gen at a certain temperature, and this
can only be done by forcing sufficient
oxygen through the flame to bring the
heat Of the flame to the point where
the carbon will combine with it and
burn.
When you put the chimney on the
lamp you create a draft which forces
more oxygen through the flame, brings
the heat up to the proper temperature
and enables the carbon to combine
with it and burn. When you take the
chimney off again the heat goes down
when the draft is shut off and the
lamp smokes again.
The chimney also protects the flame
Of the lamp from drafts from the sides
and above and helps to make a bright
er light, because 4 steady light is
brighter than a pickering one.
The draft created by the chimney
also forces the gases produced by the
burning Oil up and away from the
flame. Some of these gases have a
tendency to put out a light or a fire.

SECONDHAND GLASS.
Interesting Methods of a Business That
Is Quite Extensive.

Interesting Methods of a Business That
Is Quite Extensive.
The salvage glass industry is of such
Importance and extent hat many deal
ers in secondhand glass specialize in
one branch or another. Some, for in
stance. handle only plate glass that
comes to them by reason of the demoli-
ton of old buildings, RACED to make
place for new structures. Salvage glass
'f this sort brings prices not far below
those of new glass.
A considerable quantity of the sal
wage glass dealers stock emanates
from the plate glass insurance COM
panics. The methods of these COM
panies in taking over glass vary. One
concern may keep no stock on hand,
simply buying whatever is required to
replace a broken pane, disposing of the
broken glass, if enough remains to be
sold, to the salvage dealer. Some
times q company will have a ware
house of its own, to which it will re-
move broken glass that may still be
in condition to use. Frequently it will
happen that only one corner has been
broken from Il large pane and hat this
may be cut down to fit a smaller Win
dow.
Most plate glass is insured, but there
is much that is not. In the case of an
uninsured plate that is broken the own
er must, of course, go to a dealer for a
new plate. He will sell the broken
plate to the salvage dealer. 1t follows
therefore that from insurance COM
panies, from building wreckers and
from owners of uninsured glass the
salvage glass dealers accumulate great
quantities of secondhand plate glass.
Much of this is in such a condition that
it may be reset anywhere. Should the
injury consist. for instance, of simply
a deep scratch in the center it is easy
to make that plate salable. The sec
ondhand dealer cuts out a strip con
tanning the scratch and thus have left
two smaller plates. quite suitable for
smaller windows.
When injured plate glass is too much
scratched to be available for windows
it is sometimes made into ground or
frosted glass for office partitions or
doors. Salvage plate glass too small
for use in windows is employed for
the glass doors Of re~frigerators, and
larger pieces are utilized in the making
of glass table tops. Small fragments
go to the making of hand mirrors, al
though only clear pieces may be so
employed. Other pieces, too small for
other purposes, enter into the manu-
facture of glass signs.
Eventually, when the last piece of
merchantable glass has been cut from
the damaged piece, there remain the
scraps and fragments accumulated in
the cutting. Even these have their
uses, although they do not bring much.
They are melted and used in the manu-
facture of h~ottles.-Washington Star.
