LET US EAT MORE FISH
As fish as a class are a safeguard
against mineral deficiencies In the
diet it follows that they
deserve more attention
than they have had from
scientists and dietitians
from this point of view.
Our country is abun
dantly supplied with ali
kinds of fish, and very
few fresh or salt water
fish are not palatable
and good food.
Here are 8 few things which will be
well to remember in regard to this
great food.

once started to cook, keeps it tender,

Unwrap fish at once, wash quickly
in salted water and wipe dry. Do not
allow fish to lay in the water an In-
stunt as the cut surface of fish ab-
sorbs water very rapidly. This spolls
the flavor as well as changing the
quality of the meat for cooking.
Sprinkle with salt sana pepper
(using plenty), wrap {n waxed paper
(the kind that is wrapped around but-
ter) and put in the ice box, where it

Reptiles Spit Poison
Into Eyes of Enemy
Snakes that spit poison are among
the interesting features of West Af-
rica, according to Lieut, Col. A. H. W.
Haywood. “One of the comrfonest
and most dangerous, although not
deadliest, of snakes which
these regions is the spitting adder,”
he writes in his book, “Sport and
Service in Africa.” “This species
seems to have a peculiar partiality fer
injecting his poison into the eye of his
victim,
the eye attracts his alm in much the
same way as a bull's-eye of a target

not been for the assistance of his

As it was, he was confined to a dark
room with a bandaged face for some

Unable to Find Grave
of Button Gwinnett
Your interesting article about But-
ton Gwinnett indicates that you may
be interested in a brief quotation from
the most recent work on Butten Gwin-
nett by Charles Francis Jenkins, of
Philadelphia. On page 154 there is
the following: “It is not known
where Gwinnett was buried, nor have
we any details of his funeral service.
As Rev. James Foley was pald for
funeral expenses, the inference Is he
was the officiating clergyman. It is
supposed that his grave is in the old
Colonial cemetery, now called Co-
lonial park, within the limits of the
city of Savannah, His executor pro-
vided a gravestone, but this has dis-
appeared. Indeed, there Is a news
paper story current that his stone was
at one time used as the top of a bar
in a grog shop in Savannah. | In 1848,
when the monument to the signers was
erected In the city of Augusta, every
effort was made to find Gwinnett's re
maing in order that they might rest
with those of his associates, Lyman
Hall and George Walton, who were
interred under the monument,” —Rich-

Dust as a Shield
The British reyal commission on
mines has made some interesting ex
periments on explosions of mixtures
of coal dust and air. It has demon-
¢trated that such mistures are emi-
nently explosive, and also that the ex-
plosicns can be mitigated, or confined
in area; by means of stone dust,
which Is not explosive,
A conl dust area was placed be
tween a dustless vegion and one
gpread with stone dust, after which
an explosion was produced in the coal
dust by firing a cannon, The results
appeared to demonstrate that the ef-
fects of an explosion may be trans
mitted to a considerable distance over
n dustless zone by the coal dust driven
before the air blast, but that the stone
dust has a restraining effect.—Wash-

Mercury's Many Uses
Mercury istan element sometimes
found native, but mostly derived
from cinhabar. Normally, by far the
greater part of the world’s production
of mercury is used in extraciing gold
and silver from their ores. In 1914
and 1916, owing to the European war,
it was used mainly in the manufacture
of fulminate for explosive caps. It Is
also used in the manufacture of drugs,
of electric appliances and of scientific
apparatus, thermometers, barometers
and for making vermilion. Mercury
is found in California and Colorade.

Inventor Had Vision
of Modern Locomotion
In 1788 an American inventor, Oli
ver Evans, applied for a patent to
use the steam engine for vehicles, but
was refused by the Pennsylvania leg-
islature, says Dr. Frank 1. Vizetelly,
managing editor of the Standard die-
tionary,
In 1880 or 1801 Evans commenced
applying the noncondensing engine to
a steam carriage, but changed his
plans and turned his attention to mill
driving by steam power, Later be
reverted to the idea of steam locomo-
tion and wrote: *1 have no doubt
that my engine will propel boats
against the current of the Mississip-
pl and wagons on turnpike roads with
great profit, . , . The time will come
when people will travel In stages
moved by steam engines from one city
to another, almost as fast as birds can |
fly, fifteen or twenty miles an hour,
« « « A carriage will start from Wash-
ington in the morning and passengers
will breckfast at Baltimore, dine at
Philadelphia and sup in New York the
same day. . . . Engines will drive
boats ten or twelve miles an hour, and |
there will be hundreds of steamers
running on the Mississippl, as pre
dicted years ago.”
