Investigating the sugar production
of corn stalks, 2. Vielland, a French
chemist, has found that the stem of
the maize plant normally contains no
sucrose, or cane sugar, and very little
,deXrose, or grape sugar. If the ears
are removed when the grain begins
to be milky, however, sugars accu-
muIate in the stem, and in Z to "a
days after removal of the ears the
eeXtractable amounts may reach to
40 per cent of sucrose and l to 3
Der cent of deXtrose. While not
more than one-third of the sucrOse can
be obtained in crystallizable form, this
is immaterial in the production of alco-
hol 1t Is calculated that 100 gallons
of alcohol per acre of maize crop can
de produced. The growth of the
plants is fairly rapid, and the period
between planting and the gathering
of the stems would be about 400 days.

WILL LONG REMEMBER VISIT
inhabitants of Old Providence Island
Astounded by the Appearance of
American SeapIanes.

One wonders what the inhabitants
of Old Providence island thought
when seven American seaplanes, with
that rending clamOr of motor that
marks these powerful devices swooped
down on her tiny harbor. The report
of the seven fliers is epic in its SIM
plicity.
Some Of them seemed scared" said
they. They had never seen an air.
plane before"
Life in Old Providence, as it ap-
peared to the marooned sea tliers, is
primitive in it's simplicity. The is
land itself is four miles long, lying
in the midst of the Caribbean sea
at a distance of $50 miles from Colon.
In its center a wooded eminence rises
to what seemed the majestic height
of LOO feet.
The harbOr is too tiny and too shall
low to permit the entrance of big
ships, and so the islands only con-
nection with the outside world is
through the semi-0ccasional visits of
little yawl, which carries freight
and passengers each way. Some times
the yawl gets to Old Providence once
in three weeks. Sometimes it doesn't.
Its schedule depends ON freights, the
within of its master, the winds, the
conveniences of the day.
Usually it brings the mails" said
the Old Providentials. Sometimes ii

China to Have Larae Mint.

One of the largest minis in the
world, with a possible daily output of
100000 silver dollars, is to be erected
at Shanghai, China, at a cost of about
100000, under the direction of an
American expert. When completed, in
about two years, 1t will absorb some
IA tons of silver day in its task of
establishing a standardized currency
in China, where the present unit of
value, the Mexican dollar, completes
with as many varieties of coin as there

used for reckoning, is not coin at
all, but a measured slug of silver, the
value of which varies in different parts

AT LEAST COULD BLAME WIFE
But Poor Herbert's Feelings Can Only
Be Left to a MercifuI I'M
agination.

Herbert had a weeks vacation from
the office for the first time in two
years and he was spending it at home.
Lets do the spring house-clean-
ing" his wife suggested. IT'S using
your vacation well, and later on I'd
have to do it, anyway, so let's both
clean the house."
SO his first holiday was spent TAX
ing up the carpets. The next day,
when he had finished that back-break-
ing task, she thanked him and gave
him a carpet beaten TO use on the
carpets.
And two days later, when that was
done satisfactorily, she told him to
mop and varnish the floors, whitewash
the cellar and polish the furniture.
And on the remaining days Of his
vacation he was bullied into painting
the garden fence, moving the lawn,
digging up and planting again all the
plants and flowers and laying ce-
ment walk around the house.
Late in the afternoon of his last
days freedom from the office work the
landlord called to see them. Good
afternoon" he began. 81 just thought
I'd drop in to tell you that the lady
across the street, seeing you people

modations. Good dayr

Selenium is a rare and little-used
element described by the United
States Geological survey, Department
Of the Interior, as having its greatest
use in giving a red color to glass,
such as that used In railroads for
signal lights, and in coloring enameled
ware red. 1t Is also used to overcome
the natural green color of ordinary
glass. Selenium is peculiar in being
a very poor conductor of electricity In
the dark and a fairly good conductor
in the light and Is used In several
electric devices whose utility depends
on this popularity. 1t has been used
in telephoning along ray of light and
in transmitting sounds and photo

FRENCH PLAYHOUSE ON BOAT
Actors in Remarkable Theatre Are
Said to Find Their occupa-
ton a Pleasant One.

France has a playhouse, built on a
barge, which travels from Tours to
Strasbourg. 1t is a gorgeous affair
painted in white and silver and called
the "bateau-theatre," 1t wanders
along the canals and wherever it stops
the French, who have few entertain
ments, crowd into the Fulminant to
see a dramatic representation. 1t is
agreeable life to move leisurely by
canal and river, to stop where one
pleases, to play to crowded house in
sale, which is always ready, to
give pleasure to a whole community
and profit to oneself The room where
the performances take place is spac-
ious enough. 1t holds five hundred
persons, and every one of the fault
eunils covered in red velvet in this
blue and gold decorated hall Is oc-
cupied whenever the floating theatre
casts anchor in an out-of-theway town.
The actors are their own mariners.
There Is much work to be done on
board any kind of boat, as all who
have ever helped to sail yacht will
agree. They all lend a hand, They
scrub the decks and they make the
preparations which are constantly
called for. What do they not do2
They go out shopping-and is there
anything so delightful as to shop al
ways in strange towns? They pre-
pare their play bills and announce
their advent. The mere business of
acting is only an incident in this va
riad life.
