ATTRACTED BY “GOLDEN BED”

tfarqeoeae Islanders Fasalnatod by tight of ArtMo of Furniture Now to Thom. An amusing tai* is told of the com tag of the first brass bed to Atuona. Atuona is one of tho Marquesas islands, a place of coconut palate, and people who ar* still ornamentally tattooed and who used to be cannibals before the missionaries arrived and taught th*w> better. But no missionary had ever disembarked a brass bed on the beach es Atuona; it came with the luggage es a curious traveler who had aeon the island from the deck of a steamer, and felt an impulse to live there a while and see what it was like. Ho could not depart, he says, “without penetrating into those abrupt and melancholy depths es forest, without endeavoring, though ever so feebly, to stir the cold brew of legend and tale, fast disappearing under stupor and forgetfulness.” And so one day tho boat brought him ashore, and the populace welcomed him, marveling at tho sight of the "golden bed” and nearly overcome with delight at the elasticity of the springs under the mattress. They took turns bouncing on It, while he drove an easy bargain with the possessor of a house for the use of that domicile in return for leaving the “golden bod” with the^owner when be departed. Then, the bargain concluded, the wife of the chief who owned the house had the unique privilege of sitting on the bod, happily bouncing up and down, till it was lifted on the tattooed shoulders of four Marquesans and inarched with honor to Its destination.

DRINK ONLY WHEN THIRSTY

Physician Decries Having Any Bet Timo for the Taking of Liquid Into the System. No rules for water drinking can be laid down, but the best guide Is the thirst of the Individual, according to j Dr. John C. Hemmeter of Baltimore, in an address st a meeting of the American Therapeutic association. Our bodies have a reservoir in which much water is stored; this is in the tissues underlying the skin and in the muscles. The blood and lymph contain about three and a half quarts of water. In the course of a day about two quarts of gastric juice, from one and a half to two quarts of sallvN one and a half quarts of pancreatic juice, and intestinal Juice* In quaptitiea that have been estimated variously at between two and eight quarts, gpß esernted. Thus a man secrete* altogether about eight quarts of digestive juices every day; yet be baa only from three to four quarts of blood and lymph. Th* mystery of whence the water comas and whither it goes is solved when we learn that the reservoirs under the skin supply It and reabsorb IL When we ar* thirsty it means that the supply In the reservoirs is runnihg low. Perspiration disposes of much of this water, and by evaporation keeps the body cool. Physical work or exercise produces much heat and if a man who performs It cannot perspire his temperature goes up rapidly.

Vision Caused by “Cohoba."

Dr. W. B. Safford, of the government plant bureau, recently identified th* mimosa-like tree, which grows in Haiti, Porte Rico and ( other Islands of the AntiUes, as the producer of a powdered drug called “cohoba,’ which the natieea used when Columbus first arrived at the Island of Haiti. The needs of this tree are yielded in pods, which are roasted and ground to powder, which is sometimes mixed with lime from calcined snail shells. The tribal wizards, or jh-iests. while under the Influence es “cohoba,” were accustomed to hold communications with unseen powers, and their mutterings were construed as prophecies and revelations of hidden things. The powdmr was used as a snuff, and was inhaled through a forked wooden tube. The forks were Inserted in the neoHila a>d the lower end of the tube buried In a little heap of the snuff, which was held on a tray of carved wood. Sometimes large snail shells were used as snuff boxes. The natives used the snuff on ceremonial occasions. It proAiced a sort cd hypnotic state, with visions sapposed to be supernatural. The chemical properties of the dmr • nre still unknown so that its in! ng principle remains a mystc

The Gasoline Problem THE grave problem confronting the serious-minded men in the petroleum industry today, is to keep pace in production with the seven-league strides of the demand for gasoline. In ten years the production of crude oil in the United States has increased only 96 per cent, while during the same period the output of gasoline has increased 560 per cent The demand for no other commodity in general use has increased to a degree that even approximates the mark reached by gasoline. ■ In ten years the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased its output of gasoline from 150 million gallons to more than 600 million gallons a years. ' It is apparent that this could not have been accomplished except by intensive application of -improved, scientific methods of refining. As a matter of fact, the price of gasoline is held in bounds only by the sheer force of science. Except for the ability of such institutions as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make a wide range of useful products from that part of the crude oil which is not used to make gasoline, you would be paying a much higher price for gasoline than you pay today. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is bending every effort to increase its output of gasoline to meet the demands f and to sell it to you at as low a price as possible.
