MAKING the Potato Popular.

There is a, touch of humor in the
method employed by the famous
French chemist Parldentier to over
come the prejudices against the po-
tato Of the peasantry on the CONT
nent. He cultivated potatoes in the
open fields, in places very much ire
quented. He guarded them carefully
during the day only, and was happy
when he had excited sc much curios-
ity as to induce people to steal some
of them during the night. Then he
persuaded Louis XIV to wear a bunch
of potato flowers at his buttonhole
in the midst Of the court on a festal
day. Nothing more was wanting to
induce great lords to plant them.

Left One Week Ago.

st. Johns, N. F., May 26.-lt was
a week almost to the hour since
Hawker and Grieve left here on the
transatlantic air journey that the
seemingly veracious report OF their
safety reached those already long
mourning them for dead. When a
message arrived that Lloyd's signal
station at the Butt of Lewis, in the
Hebrides, reported both men aboard
the freighter Mary, bound for Den
mark, the associates. here OF the
Sopwith pilot and navigator were at
first skeptical and disinclined to
heed the good news. But when the
shipping record verified the existence
of the steamer and showed that 1t
carried no wireless, and a study. or
the usual route from southern United
States to Denmark showed that the
course would take the ship within
possibly a hundred miles of the Butt
Of Lewis signal station, some cred
ance was given the report.
Within an hour after the first re-
ceipt, a study Of all the circum-
stances, notably the fact that it orig.
mated with Lloyds. and names OF
both the ship and signal station were
given, brought belief, and turned the
grief of the last few days to rejoic-
ing at the two mems safety.

little. The showing OF the picture pre-
cedad the appearance OF the girls.
The picture. itself is really very
good. in truth one of tho best coineo!es
nut out by Sennett. There is an IN
teresting plot. which, contrary to most
comedies. is kept in the foreground an
thru the story. The representation OF
a dashing and beautiful young lady o!
an American aviator is an out-ot-t he-
ordinary addition. that causes suhse-
ouent events which fill the picture with
action.
Upon arrival in German territory the
aviator puts on woman's clothes. and
when he appears among the German
soldiers. almost causes a STAMPEDE

prince. who Immediately fall for the

quite as finished a manner as any OF
Julian E!tinge's famous characters ana
among the many accomplishments ex-
hibited by the aviator is that OF
dancer. In entertaining the kaiser IN
this way. the costume he wears is most
elaborate and the dancing is exception
