Nagasaki hotel on Friday evening.
when there was good attendance Of
residents and visitors. A lengthy pro-
gram. twenty-four dances was gone
through and encores were the rule. An
attempt was made and we believe with
considerable success, to equalize the
number of dances secured by the Of
ficers without infringing the ladies'
prerogative in the choice. or approval
Of partners. 1t is obvious that in a
series of weekly entertainments where
the gentlemen who wish to dance out
number the ladies by at least three to
one some such arrangement Is neces-
sary.
The officers Jazz band was again a
marvel and delight to those who
danced and those who sat out. Their
vocal choruses and their unfailing
readiness to oblige once more were
greatly appreciated.

Get OIL From Grain.

A discovery by Germans is that for
extracting oil in quantity from grain.
By a process called DISCRIMINATING, a
small germ resembling hens egg in
composition, designed for the nutri-
ment of the young plant, is extracted.
Distilled, this germ yields very good
table oil, and at the same time raw
ingredient for margarine and an al
luminous powder, which latter con-
tains three and one-half times the
nourishment Of meat. Twenty grammes
are equal to one egg, and already it
has been put to use as an egg substi-
tute. All large mills in Germany have
introduced Denomination, and the
germs are being turned into oil, and
albumin powder.
