W-J18 ciw KNEW AND LOVED STEVENSON - - ' Old Resident of Tahiti Proud of Hi Association With tho Famous Romanticist. In the town of Papeete, on the Is land of Tahiti, lives an old man named tWinal a r..f-,tp (VtmraHn fit Itohprt ,'Muat, a . i in. i . ...... ..... I . . . . M mA Louis fstevenson wnen ice1 iumous iv mnnrlcNr was Journeying through the South Sea islands. Donat loves to tell of the days when the writer used to rest In his home and listen to the weird ghost tales which the old man told ami which Stevenson wove Into some of his stories. Their friendship began when the wrlter rented u house to rest In after a trip through the Marquesas Is lands. On Ponat's grounds were the only vegetable gardens In the is land, the formation of which was mostly coral, sand and rubble. Each morning the old man would send to Stevenson's b.mse a great basket of fresh vegetables, fruit nnd coconuts, and later when the author came to thank Pmutt for the gift the two would sit In the shade and tall; for bouts. Nothing delights Ponat more than to talk of his gentle friend at:d the days when they were together. He gives tin Intimate picture of Steven son's simple life on the island, of his rambles on the beach among the coco nut groves, of his friendly associations with the natives. When Steven-oti left the Island he Invited ponat aboard his ship for dinner ami presented him a valuable ring as a souvenir of their friendship. "He was n good man, a great gentleman," Is Ponnt's tribute. FOUGHT "REDS" WITH CUSTER "Devil" Devlin, Veteran of the Plain, Now Sells Apples on Streets of New York. - - It Is a long Jump from selling ap ples from a little sidewalk stand in West 43d street to pumping a carbine during the height of Custer's last fight, but there's an old man In town who does It dally. If any one comes along to encourage him to make the jour ney. He l Frank Devlin, a little gray haired, wrinkled apple man. who sits dally with his stock of apples. Yes terday, writes the New York corre spondent of the Pittsburgh Pispntch, he met a modern warrior wearing the Croix de Guerre who had just re turned from overseas. The newly made veteran listened with respectful at tention while the tipple man showed him tUe way to handle a ritle. For years the withered old man was "Devil" Pevlin. crack rider of the Fifth I'nited States cavalry, and one of the twenty best horsemen In the I'nited States army. It was "Pevll" Pevlin who rode from Prescott. Ariz., to Podge City. Kas.. which took a mat ter of nearly three months, 1.1 1 i miles In the saddle. Pevlin whs present at Custer's (ast fight and he declares Unit the Indian fighter of the plains could tell some things to the heroes of the A. K. K. about hard work ami harder fighting, long hours ami scanty rations. Many Raise Peppermint. Peppermint probably occupies one of the most honorable places on the list of drug plants, for the distillation of oil from Its leaves is nn important Industry to which thousands of acres are devoted, principally In .Michigan and New York. Their oils are extract ed also from wlntergreen. pennyroyal, tansy and a number of other well known plants. To be salable the leaves must be dried In a place w here there is plenty of air but no dampness, and In the shade, for this keeps the bright color. They must be looked over with care that no other leaves are mixed with them and packed In boxes or barrels to be shipped, r.ulletins on this subject may be obtained from the superintendent of documents, Washington. P. ('.. at a cost of 1." cents apiece. Uncle Sam warns us that there are risks in these Trops as well an In others, but all enterprises are risks in this nncertaln world. Make Gas From Straw. A Canadian Inventor has worked out a new application of thrift In the form of n gas which can be made from straw. The invention will be of special value In farm communities, rs) It will enable the farmers to utilize straw that now goes to waste. The gas is made in a three-cylinder retort. Each cylinder holds a bale of straw seven feet long, two feet wide nnd six Inches thick. With the chambers closed the straw Is ignited and allowed to burn fmru .'!" to 4 minutes. It Is said that 12.000 cubic feet of gas can be generated from a ton of straw, In addition to which there will be by product of six to eight gallons of tar and 64o rounds of carbon from which lamp black can be obtained. Awful Thought. It was Pora's first trip on the ocean and the water kept on going see-saw and slipslde and heawho, nnd all sorts of uncomfortable, disagreeable things; so that Iora began to get a little giddy and dazed and tired and hazy. Gasping a large doll In her arms. be stood upon the deck by her moth er's side. "Mamma !" she suddenly exclaimed. and her face turned to a delicate pal green. "Yes. darling; what l the matter? "Oh. nothing, mamma! But I 1 don't rink the rabbit I bad for dinner could have been quite quite dead!" The Best He Would Say. "Does your wife believe every thing yoc tell her?" Tin not quite sure about that. AH I know is that she patiently listen! to ererythlng I tell her." ALWAYS TEEMING WITH LIFE Nolaea of Anlmala, Birds, or Insects Nwr Completely Stilled In tha Jungle of Malay. One may as well try to describe with Justice the crater of an active volcano as to describe the jungle of Malay. From without one sees a dense for est of very irregular height and of tltt most vivid green imaginable. Here and there towerine above the other? onp sees immense trees, 200 feet high or more. From without the Jungle looks impenetrable, and so it Is. except by well-defined tracks, or by backing one's way through, ns I have done, for l."o miles. Within the jungle all Is gloom, ex cept overhead, where one can see a misty light thai filters up through the delicate foling,'. All the trees shoot straight up. there being practically no horizontal branches from them. In fact, there are no trees thai resemble the o;k or other short-trunked trees. The ground is nearly always damp ir even slushy in places, and Infested with land leeches that crawl up one's c! ithing and gorge tli'-mselves on your tilood. The atmosphere is steamy, but far cooler lh:m out in the open. I hav. taken the temperature just within the jungle, and found it to be about SO de grees, hut on placing the thermometer nit in the sun ii has rapidly reached the teiiijiernt tire of 1 4s degrees. Knrly in the morning the jungb re sounds with the cries of the monkeys just waking up. About 9:0 these ease and the ordinary day noises of birds, and the steady hum of insects orevnil. The frequent tap of woodpeck rs. the croak of huge treefrogs and he call of the pen rock and argus oheasant re-echo through the Jungle. Kvery now and then one hears n fnmil ar cock-o-doodle-doo and the clucking f a hen and imagines one must be dear n farm, until it is realized that t is only the jungle fowl, the ancestor if all doniesi ic poult ry. Toward sunset, about six o'clock, there suddenly bursts out fi perfectly l -afening din of buzzing and shrieking Insects. It is no exaggeration to state that the noise of the insect life at sun set makes it practically Impossible to tn ar oticsHf speak. This continues un til about seven o'clock, when darkness has set in nnd limn it dies away con s.derably. Throughout the night one hears all kinds of queer noises that were absent during the day. With luck, you may hear the growl and roar of a tiger, bunting some poor animal. Frequently one hears a great commotion among the birds and mon keys that had been sleeping In some Mil tree, as their slumber Is disturbed by n snake that has climbed up nnd caught one of t lift i . A common sound is the despairing shriek of a Jungl;' 1 '"iiighi by some wildcat. Occa sionally one's sleep is disturbed by a loud crashing of trees nnd the trnm ; i t iii-r of a h id of elephants. In fact, the jungle teems with life line! death, day and nh'bt. --;. Cnrveth Wells, In ip gon .1 1 ui i mil. Carburetor Uses Kerosene. A'i aotomalic i a rl mret or has been developed In Kngland for which nston isjimg claims are made. The details of its construction are withheld, but its performance is said on good au thority to be remarkable. During a demonstration test it was Used on a two-cylinder, six-horsepower motor cycle. The Mart was made with the engine cold and the lloat chamber half hlled with gasoline. The change to kerosene, while under way, produced no noticeable difference In the per formance of Ihe engine. There was no knocking on grades, no smoke, no odor. The cylinders fired crisply, the pickup was quick, the firing regular at all speeds, and the power all that could he desired. It Is even claimed that, with the new carburetor, a gallon of kerosene will drive the motorcycle and sidecar the unheard-of distance of OS miles, but there Is no official con firmation of this statement. Learning Deadly Aim. The skill with which American gun ners frustrated the attacks of U-boats was due. in a large measure, to the use of an ingenious target for gun practice (luring the voyages. The de vice consisted of a framework, about thirty feel long and five feet wide, built to be drawn through the water, with an imitation conning lower and periscope mounted on the upper side. It was drawn behind the ship by means of two cables attached one above the other. Hy pulling on the upper one the upper side of the frame was made to project forward, causing the target to rise to the surface, while by pull ing on the lower cnble the device would quickly submerge. Officers out of sight of the gunners manipulated the apparatus, frequently changing the range by paying out or taking In the cables. Getting Rid of Marble Waste. The waste of a Vermont marble quarry Is reduced by crushers and rolls to fragments of one-half Inch or less, and Is then burned Into quicklime. The rotary kiln for this purpose Is 8 feet In diameter and 20 feet long, in clined 4 per rent from the horizontal. If Is driven by a belt from a 30-horse power motor, and has a speed of 0.5 to 1.5 revolutions jmt second. Producer gas introduced at the lower end yields a temperature of 2,200 decrees F. This converts the rock fragments Into quicklime by driving off the carbonic acid gas. and the hot material drop from the lower end of the kiln into s rotating '.-ooling cylinder. In this cylinder the draft of air passing U the burning gas cools the product tot the storage bins.
