Beautiful, ,St.HHetcna.

Napoleon Bonaparte drew public at
,tention to a hitherto little-known is.
land in mid-Atlnntic, almost opposite
the southern extremity of the Portu.
guese settlement Of Angola, next door
to, what used 70 be German Southwest
Africa. Few of the general public of
that day knew of Elba not far from
.Leghorn, where the French emperor
was first sequestered; and when, after
Waterloo. he went to st. Helena peo-
pie looked in vain upon most Of the
maps for that tropical dot, with ali
aren. OF only,47 square miles and with
but few Inhabitants. ......
After the Boer war the English
turned to st. Helenu as safe spot to
send Boer prisoners of war, and so
many thousands were transported
there that the. inhabitants Of james
town-the only town then on the island
became suddenly enriched, for Brit
ish soldiers nnd sailors brought money,
and their prisoners were rarely poor
men.
Next to the Red sea ports along the
African coast, st. Helena probably en-
tcrtains' in its waters the greatest ng.
gregation of sharks In the world, but
the Bocr prisoners discovered that
these sharks always slept when. the
sun reached the meridian; and many
of these prisoners were rescued by
their friends, who brought small ves-
sells. apparently laden with provender,
but steamed rapidly away when their
cOnfedernteS had SWum few yards
from beneath the towering cliffs to
the awaiting boat.

EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Recommend Use of Liquid
Air as Best Means OF Getting o.
at Deiectabe Kernel.

Liquid air for cracking nuts Is the
latest application Of science. Science
and Invention relates that experts at
the national bureau Of standards in
Washington were appealed to for, a
method Of breaking the shells of
chicha nuts 'withoue'5 damaging the
kernels. They found, that: It. took "a
weight Of nearly n ron To crack the
shells. and that after that effort the
meat of the nut was broken in many
small pieces. ,;g% !
Then they applied liquid air to the
problem. They did not freeze solid a
piece Of rubber and use 1t as hmm,
mer. as Is done in the classic stunt,tof
physics, but they simply immersed the
nuts In liquid mir for 80 seconds and
cracked them easily without damage
to tho kernels. Now the physicists
are trying to find out whether this
method can be applied commercially
on large scale. - o.. =. e e" i,
Ch!cha nuts are grown in South
America. Their dense, strong shells
were used during The war to make
charcoal for gas masks, and the oil
from the kernels is valuable food
similar TO cOpra.

well clad. They know that her effici
ency is impaired and her disposition ef
feeted by poor living conditions. They
know how to pass upon women s wear
and something of the barest needs OF
every self-respecting girl.
The men on one board argued tina:
one S25 suit in two years is all suffici
ent for business purposes; that three
shirtwaists ought TO do; that her lunch
should not cost over 10 cents, and that
girls of this class should not ride to
and from work on the street ear. The
woman on the board said that the suit
bought at $25 would have to be refined
the second year; that the girl could not
have time too hunt bargains in shirt
waists, she worked full hours every day
and if she did know of sales at de-
partment stores, she could seldom take
advantage of them, or if she did try,
she often found the counters piled with
gay colors and plaids which her en-
ployers would not permit her TO wear;
that girls on such low wages never had
a surpluse sufficient to buy coats and
suits in the late spring sales any way.
And the doctor who was in .his same
conference, told the commission THAT
the girl who was on her feet all day in
