prIed Potatoes in Bolivia.

Throughout the Andean plateau OF
Bolivia potatoes are cultivated at al
titudes where eve the hardest grains
and vegetables will not grow. The
natives have a method of preserving
potatoes, which consists of alternate
freezing and thawing until all the
moisture is removed. The resulting
product is known as chunu, and it can
be stored for months and wen years
without fear OF deterioration. Pressed
into little bullet-shaped pieces, chunu
is universally offered for sale In the
markets, and is one of the chief foods
of the native population. The same
report states that France and Sweden
have imported seed potatoes from Bo-
livia.

GRAND LIFE OF THE NAVY
onIooker Inspired by Sight Of Big Gray
Warships and Liberty the
Sailors Enjoy.

1t was Sunday morning in New
York, aud the drive at the foot
of Seventy.ninth street was alive
with people. The benches were
at a premium. An aged woman,
with her knitting, got up and a cross
eyed man sat down SO quickly that the
bench didn't have a chance to get cold.
The tide was just turning, and the
gray warships at anchor began to poke
their noses seaward.
Them ships look grand, huh?"
The sailor sitting next to the man
turned and regarded his bench mate
c~uriously. He waited the fraction of
a second before replying, and before
he could answer he was bombarded
with another question:
"They amt got no names"
Still the sailor remained silent. "Si-
lence is golden" and the sailor was
running true to form. II you were OBJ
servant you could have caught him
mapping before the advent of the cross
eyed man.
Believe me, that's the life" he
rambled on, waving a long arm in the
direction Of the pier, where a launch
from one Of the vessels had drawn
alongside. "Them fellers have a pretty
soft time of it. See 'em? Going to
have a good time UP town. Believe me,
that's the life"
Suddenly he turned and looked e
his shoulder, as though inspiration had
gripped him strongly.
"That's the rfe-rm going to enlist,
believe me-"
The sailor said to himself: 'They'd
like to get him, only he's as deaf as a
haddock, and If he W shoots where
he's looking-good night p-Exchange.
