Few of those who revel in turtle
soup at a Guildhall luncheon or din
ner have visited the desolate, unin-
viting Island of Ascension where the
turtle is hatched and reared, where
he is carefully tended by exeprts and
finally by slow stages attains the ma
turity at which the Guildhall cook
can step In and claim him for his
own.
In that land of perpetual sun,
where roads are not and ruts
ploughed afresh in the shifting sand
serve their purpose, the turtle is a
powerful asset. In dark, cool sheds
lie large masses ofseggs, looking for
all the world like golf balls. The
baby turtles of a fortnight old and
upward are next inspected, ugly,
Shiny little creatures, black and
white, with protruding eyes and al
ready enormously strong fms which
they use to the utmost when han
died. Lastly come the great ponds
without covering, where they bask
and dream their way TO maturity.
A turtle of ten birthdays is con-
sidered very young indeed. Many
veterans head the list with fifty or
sixty years TO their credit.

MAKING MORE ALUMINIUM.
United States Leads With Three Out
of Nine Works.

1t was the United States that be-
gan the manufacture of aluminium
by the electrolytic method. That was
in 1888. In 1889 almost the same
process was in use in Switzerland,
having been worked out independ-
emily.
Since the latter year, says Cas-
sier's Magazine, the production of
aluminium has increased enormously,
and at the present time the annual
output of the metal is estimated to
be 5000 tons, as compared with S5
tons in 1889. In England the price
has fallen in the same period from
los. Sd. per pound. If a cheaper raw
material than refined alumina could
be used in the process a still further
reductionin price would be possible
Nine works are now using this
method, three in the United States.
two in France, one each in Great
Britain, Germany. Switzerland and
Austria. The demand for the metal
Is growing in connection with motor
car and railway carriage work, the
latest example of this use of the light
metal being for the inside of the cars
for one of the London underground
tube lines.
Very large amounts of the cheaper
brands of aluminium are now being
employed in the casting of iron and
steel. The Goldsschmidt thermit pro-
cess for welding tramway rails and
for repairs of castings, etc, is a new
use, responsible for the annual con-
sumption of many tons of aluminium
In the form of powder.

THINKS MARS is INHABITED
New Proof is Discovered of Planets
Artificial Canals.

DR. Percival Lowell of the Flagstaff
Observatory, Boston, Mass, in an ad
dress describes the newest discover.
les made regarding the canals on the
planet Mars. He dwelt most on the
two canals which made their appear
ance between 1896 and 1909. and I'D.
duced further arguments in support
of the hypothesis OF their artificial
character. The subject of possible
signals from Mars to the earth long
has aeitated scientists, and there are
many who scout the thcor:.
THE objections arise only from
those who have ever properly ,obscrv-
ed the planet" declares DR.. Lowell,
"or who quote others in the like PIE
dicament. 1t is a case of science YER
sus nescience, to which there can be
but one outcome"
DR.. Lowell told his audience that the
new canals are 1000 miles long and of
a slender, geometrc character, with
regular lines of faultlcss curvature,
beyond the power of unasSiSted nature
to contrive. For fifteen years the plan
ct has been carefully scanred, at ev-
cry approach TO the earth, hut these
canals had not revealed themselves.
Thus they were either new canals or
new employment OF fallow ones, eth
er of which alternatives, he claimed,
arguing artificiality in their construc
ton.

Inebricty and the Eating of Fruits


There is but one sure cure for the
drinking disease or habit, and that
is the simplest of all. The cure con-
sists in eating fruits, That will cure
the worst case of inebriety that ever
afflicted person. 1t will entirely
destroy the taste for intoNicants and
will make the drunkard return to the
thoughts and tastes of his childhood.
No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an APP
petite for drink. No person ever saw
a man or woman with an appetite for
drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other
and there is no room for both Of
them in the same human constitu-
tion. One will surely destroy the
other.

Cloudburst Damage
Costs N. P. Big Sum

Bismarck, April 28.-Because four
inches of rain fell at Dickinson, with
in nine-hour period, the Northern Pa
cific railway must pay group of Dick
inson merchants between $4,000 and
100000 for damage to their stocks of
goods, stored in Easements.
2 The North Dakota supreme court,
deciding the case of Soules & Butler
against the Northern Pacific in favor
of the plaintiff, holds that the railroad
was negligent in failing to provide a
culvert of sufficient dimensions to car.
ry away the great flood of water. Nine
suits, including this one just decided,
hinge on the outcome Of this action,
and it is understood that one or two
others may be filed. ''%.. t..
The rainfall in question occurred on
July 20, 1914, and was one-fourth of
the annual fall of the district. AS a
result, the water backed up on the
north side of the Northern Pacific right
of way. In defending the suits, the
railroad maintained that the cloud
burst was an element they were not
compelled to take into consideration
in building their culvert. .a'. .s..
