vented i'm . famous cuisine in Lon
~ don dish that was destined to be
known around the globe, and with
thousands Of gourmets it has con-
dnued to hold hrst place when IL comes to
desserts supreme. This dish was none other
than the renowned peach Melba, and its in
Ventor the celebrated Escofier, world famous
chef, who Is now making his fourth visit to
America.
This s5-year-old French chef-dean emeritus,
% it were, OF the profession and from whom
chefs the world over have sought to learn the
secrets Of his art-came to these shores to
supervise the preparation and service of the
opening dinner of a great hostelry. For hotel
managers In America well as in Europe and
elsewhere are aware that no name can add
such distinction to the carte du jour" for such
an occasion as that of Escofher, who, during
the 20 years he has devoted TO pleasing dis
eliminating palates, has created culinary mas
terpieces which Careme, q Bechamel q
Richelieu might well have coveted.
Kings and queens, the greatest artists and
leaders in virtually all business and professions
are numbered among the patrons Of the cuisines
over which this master chef has presided and
countless are the letters, photographs and other
testimonials acclaiming the gastronomic joy he
has provided through the science and art Of
his profession
WHEN King Edward was Prince of Wales
one of his great delights was to dine at
the Petit Moulin Rouge in Paris when Escofier
was its chef The former Kaiser Wilhelm,
Emperor of Germany who sent for this culinary
artist to supervise the preparation of his foods
upon more than one occasion when starting on
cruise, dubbed him the Emperor of Chefs"
The British King was connoisseur Of foods,
according to Escofher, as was also the German
Emperor, who ate everything, but always
wanted his foods prepared very simply
But not for royalty alone has EScofner pre-
pared dishes truly eft to be set before king"
Artists Of music, of literature and Of the stage
are numbered among his admirers. The i'm
mortal Sarah Bernhard often sought him to
prepare her favorite dish Of ortolans, and
Madame Melba, lifelong friend, inspired that
classic dish that bears her name.
Years ago the reputation Of this chef spread
across the seas. and during the 20 years when
he presided over the cuisine Of the Savoy In
London, as well as later when in the same
capacity he honored the cuisine Of the Carlton,
epicures have been known to journey across
the Atlantic for no other reason than to par
take OF his famous foods They were never
disappointed. For this master Of the art of
cookery has always had great pride in his
calling. An epicure himself, he not only knows
the value of good food, but through his under
standing of the artistry in cooking he has pro-
NOTED the art of gastronomy no other
modern chef has done.
Although now retired from the more active
duties Of chef de cuisine, NJ Escofher in his
charming villa Fernand In Monte Carlo keeps
busy experimenting with foods and inventing

Satety Lamps in Mines.

FIGHTING fire with fire may be one of the
old remedies in haiting large conflagrations
through backfires but 1t seems highly hazard
Gus when flames are carried into mines. Never

dangerous quantities of methane are discovered.
These lamps are surrounded by a wire-screen
or gauze chimney which prevents the passage
Of the flame outside the lamp. When methane
in explosive percentages is present the fame
within the lamp gives prompt indication, but
the burst of flame carries no further than the
confines of the lamp itself.
Now and then workmen are careless about
the inspection Of their lamps, however, and

faces, new surroundings could tell It
might mean a new, fresh lfe-it might mean
the beginning of gayety flowing back into
the days of this woman who loved and was
loved by him.
It was ironic beyond the telling and some
thing that was to take years for him to be able
to bear up under that Minnie, returning from
solitary walk into town, should have been
killed outright by an automobile as she darted
in front of it to snatch back little Dotty
Ravenel, who had leaped In front Of it after
her puppy.
Like a candle snuffed, the lonely, gallant
personality of Minnie went out. as it were, i'm
q flash, dashing Tom into misunderstanding
life into darkness.
What funerall For years it was one Of
the talked-of occasions of the town. Six car
riages laden with flowers followed Minnie's
hearse. Crowds stood upon the lawn and along
the sidewalks the solitary bitter figure of
Tom Arden followed the white hearse to its
grave.
In bitterness which he was later to regret
he gave orders that no one save himself and
two servants should follow her to her last rest
ing place. The crowd stood by respectfully and
q little cowed. The house next door, with
every blind lowered and every flower in its
luxurious gardens plucked to make up blanket
for Minnie's grave, stood by respectfully and
o little cowed
1t was a grim, tragic picture Of solitary
man following woman who in death seemed
no more solitary than she had been in life.
In way, the subsequent behavior of Lucy
Ravenel was pathetic. It might actually be
said that she scratched for admission into that
silent stone house, like q dog biding his time.
Apparently awed neither by the bitter black
anger of Tom nor his forbidding servants she
called daily the little Dotty at her side, offer.

For six months that door remained stead-
fastly closed to her. One day she encoun-
tered Tom on his steps. She was a narrow.
nervous-lipped woman and the weeks following
Minnie's death had played havoc with her.
"Torn," she said, "aren't you going to let
us atone; aren't you going to give us the chance
to make her memory monument in this town.
II you can deny me, Tom, Dotty asks you
Dotty asks you to let her help YOU"
Standing there looking down into the clear
eyes OF the child whom Minnie had snatched
from premature death, it was as II what Minnie
would have said came floating to his ears and
his consciousness.
Take little Dotty into your heart-that is
what would do, Tom"
That Is what Tom did.

Battle to Save Oyster:
Copyright, lo3O.)

ME annual battle to save the Chesapeake
Bay oyster is under way with the planting
OF the first 100000 bushels Of shells along
the shores Of the bay.
Time was when the shells were used for
roadway or chicken grit. or perhaps just thrown
away. as so much waste. but those days are
past Now the State Of Maryland buys the
shells to place them back In the water to pro-
vide nursery" for new oysters
The oyster, as the average man knows it, is
shell fish, but in the early stages of its life
this Is not So When it Is first Matched it is
free-swimming fish, and continues so for two
or three weeks. depending upon the tempera-
ture OF the water and its rate Of development.
AT the proper time in its growth it drops
TO the bottom of the water and either finds an
old oyster she'll piece Of rock or some other
hard substance to which to attach itself, or
sinks to oblivion in the soft Maud of the bottom
1t is essential, if the oyster is to live, that it
shall have the shell or rock to support it for
time. Oyster men, knowing this now, although
they did not know it in the past, are aiding the
State officials in their efforts to return the
shells to the water, in order that the future of
their means of livelihood shall be assured
1t is by planting of definite quantities OF
shells over prescribed areas of the waters being
treated that so-cailed oyster farms are estab-
hshed. Various States give oyster men exclu-
sive rights to these farms i'm return for their
interest and work in providing future supply
Of the sheilfsh.
