During court inquiry into the high
cost of milk at New York the sug-
gestion was made that pneumatic
tubes, formerly used In the mail serv-
ice, be utilized to distribute milk to
various sections OF the city. The use
Of the pneumatic distributor was de-
clared to be far more economical than
the present methods, thus bearing d.
dectly upon the cost Of milk, the sub
Ject OF the inquiry. It is not the
plan. however. Of the persons suggest
ing the idea that the milk is to run
through the tubes In streams. In
stead carriers Of metal are TO be en-
pioyed to convey under high air press
ure several bottles Of milk at a time.
These carriers are to hold six quart
bottles or ten pint bottles, and the ca
pacity Of a tube is said TO be one car
rier every six seconds.

Lonely Telephone Station.

An isolated telephone pay station is
located at camp on the shore of
Richardson lake, one of the Rangeley
group In northern Maine. This tele-
phone is more than 80 miles from the
nearest station at Rumford, on the
Maine Central railroad. The line runs
IL miles from the camp to the town
Of Andover, where connection is made
with switchboard In the office of the
Andover Telephone company, SUBJ
licensee of the New England company.
From that town the lines extend 18
miles to Rumford. From this tele-
phone many emergency calls. have orig
mated during the ten years since the
station was established. 1t has been

Mine Produces Coal and Sand.

A mining plant that is decidedly
unique is located In Ohio. Both coal
and sand are taken from the one
property which consists of $50 acres.
The surface strata is high grade mold
Ing sand and has an average depth
of about nine feet. 1t is deposited on
a bed of shale about five feet In thick
ness and under this Is a seam of ex-
cellent coal averaging from 4 to 5
feet. Shipments of sand already have
been made to foundries throughout the
country. A considerable tonnage Of
coal also has been mined. As the
shale strata is uncovered by the re-
moval Of the sand, steam shoFels will
be utilized to strip the shale, thereby
exposing the seam of coal which will
be mined in the open. In compare
lively few localities is the coal seam
sufficiently near the surface to permit
of stripping. The sand is mined by
steam shovel and is conveyed by mine
cars to a stockhOuse from which II
is loaded into cars by a belt con-
veyor. A force Of nine men can load
400 tons OF sand a day.-ScientIfic

HAS MANY VALUES
Yuca One of the Most Priced Of
Earth's Productions.
important Article of Diet Among
South American indians Should
Find Ready Apprecia-
ton Here.

II the war had lasted much longer
no doubt we would have been using
real Indian flour by now-fiour made
from the yuca, or manioc or cassava
plant-a tropical shrub which grows
to a height of six feet. Herbert ].
Spinden of the staff of the American
Museum of Natural History, who has
spent much time in Central and South
America, recently described the yucca
and its value as food.
Manioc flour, he said, is made from
the root of the maniOc. 1t Is probably
the principal food of the Indians of
the wet lowlands of South America,
and Is also much used In the West In
dies. Two species of manioc are
known, of which one contains hydro
cyanic acid, a poisonous juice which
has to be extracted by a special proc
ess, while the other is non-poisonous.
This latter variety is, however, gen.
orally considered to furnish an infe-
rior meal, and is used chiefly as a
fresh vegetable.
In making manioc -four, the very
juicy roots Of the plant, which some
what, resemble sweet potatoes in
shape, are grated according to Italian
fashion on board set with rock crys-
tails. The grated meal must then be
subjected to high pressure in order to
drive off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuffing the
meal into a basket tube, which Is then
stretched out so that its volume is de-
creased. Really tremendous pressure
is exerted by this simple machine.
The poisonous fluid is drained through
the basket-work into pottery vessels.
The meal is then taken out of the
tube and used chiefly for making thin
waters, often of large size, which are
slightly Drowned on either side by bak-
ing on griddles. These cakes will
last for a long time and are consid-
cred excellent food.
But 1t Is the general utility of this
plant that would truly delight Mr..
Hoover's heart. For besides the -four,
the plant yields an excellent starch,
condiment, and tapioca-the last
named being the principal article Of
commerce derived from the yucca.
The starch is contained in the poi
sonous juice which is extracted from
the meal. The starch is allowed to
settle in the fluid, which is then poured
off. In certain places, the manioc
meal Is not subjected to pressure, but
is thoroughly stirred In water In or
der to extract the largest possible
amount of starch. Manioc starch,
which commands higher price In the
tropics than corn starch, Is generally
regarded as of the highest quality.
After the extraction of the starch, the
Juice of the yuca is subjected to heat
sufficient to destroy the poison in it.
1t is then used as condiment (cassa-
reep). This extract, which has a
sharp. peppery quality, has consider
able commercial value, and serves as
a base for certain table sauces and
for the soup known as Philadelphia
pepper pot. Tapioca Is obtained by
heating the starch while 1t is moist.

Welded AT GRAVES EDGE
Remarkable Ceremony by Which
Philadelphia Jews Hoped to Stop
Ravages Of Influenza.

With the hope Of protecting the
orthodox Russian Jews in Philadelphia
from further ravages of the influenza
epidemic two Hebrews were married
at the first line of graves in the Jewish
cemetery a few months ago. More
than 1,200 Russian Jews watched the
rabbi perform the wedding ceremony.
When the couple were pronounced
man and wife, the orthodox among the
spectators filed solemnly past the cou-
pie and made them presents of money
in sums ranging from ten cents to a
hundred dollars. according to the
means and circumstances of the donor.
until more than $1,000 had been given.
After the last Offering the bride and
bridegroom walked to the greensward
farther from the graves, where we'd
ding feast was quickly spread from the
two truckloads Of food that others
of the faithful had provided.
The marriage in cemetery, with
the idea of warding off the ravages of
an epidemic, is a revival of custom
that has prevailed for hundreds of
years among the Jews In the heart of
Russia. When Russia was swept by
cholera several centuries ago Jews
died by the hundreds. Panic seized
them. and they called council of
elders and rabbits, who decided that
the attention of God should be called to
the affiiction of their fellows if the
most humble man and woman among
them should join in marriage In the
presence Of the dead.
So they asked young man and q
woman, who were unknown to each
other and who were without wealth
TO marry in order to save their fellows
from the cholera scourge. The young
people agreed, and the ceremony was
performed. According to the tradition
the ravages of the cholera subsidized
within three days.-Youth's Compan

FOR THEIR HEALTH
Men Looked Forward to Time In
Penitentiary.
Lawyer Left With Some Idea That
the Persuasive Powers Of His
Learned Friend Might Have
Been Better Exercised.

One of the most interesting and elo-
quent old-time pleaders at the Missouri
bar, says Case and Comment, was
Henry Clay Dean, the picturesque law
yer of Rebel Cove, Putnam county.
The most striking evidence of his per-
suasive powers was not given before
the jury in a courtroom, however, but
in the gloomy corridors of the old jail
at Kirksville.
Another veteran of the profession,
Judge A. D. Risdon, tells the story.
1t was matter of pride with Colonel
Dean, he says, that in nine cases out
of ten he could get defendant off in
jury trial. But once he was called
upon to defend couple Of young fell
lows for breaking into a railway car,
and the evidence was so strong that
even Colonel Dean saw no way out
except to plead guilty and let the boys
take the lowest sentence Having
reached this conclusion, Colonel Dean
was admitted to the jail for talk
with his young clients. 1t happened
that there were in the same prison
two other men who had made arrange
ments with me to represent them, and,
as there was great doubt as to their
guilt, l had mapped out a defense
that was about as certain as anything
human could be to result in an acquit-
tai by the jury.
i All four men were in the same cor
ridor, and of course my men could hear
what Colonel Dean was saying to his
clients.
He took seat between the two
boys, laid a friendly hand on their
shoulders, and began in that smooth,
pleasant way of his to tell them what
life in the penitentiary was. He said
he had been down there and looked all
through the building and saw how il
was conducted; that the yards, rooms

Of condensed milk to Europe rose from
100000 pounds in 1914 to 530,OO0,-
600 pounds In 1918, and there were
