of them can be made edible and
for people as well. The

New Production Record Set by
American Fields in 1916.
Volume Used Amounted to 753,170,253,.
000 Cubic Feet, Gain of 20 Per
Cent Over 1915.
Statistics compiled under the super-
vision of J.D. Northrop of Uncle Sam's
geological survey, show the volume of
natural gas commercially utilized in
the United States in 1916 was greater
than that so utilized in any other year
in the history of the natural-gas in-
dustry. The volume used, which
amounted to 753,170,253,000 cubic feet,
constitutes a new record, exceeding by
nearly 125,000,000,000 cnbic feet, or
20 per-cent, the former record, estab-
lished in 1915.
The average price of this gas at the
point of consumption was 15.96 cents
a thousand cubic feet and its total
market value was $120,227,468, a loss
of 0.16 cent in unit price, but a gain
of $18,915,087, or 18.6 per cent, in total
value compared with 1915.
Credit for increased production of
natural gas in 1916 belongs, in the or-
der given, to West Virginia, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, California, Louisiana,
Kansas, Texas and Arkansas, which
together produced 132,000,000,000 cubic
feet more gas in 1916 than in 1915.
Significant increases, important local-
ly, but unimportant/ as affecting the
production of the entire country, are
credited to Illinois, New York, and
Montana. In only two states was
there, a significant decrease in the
production of natural gas in 1916. The
rapia exhaustion of the prolific Cleve-
land field, in Cuyahoga county, O., re-
sulted in a loss of some 9.6 billion
cubic feet in the total volume pro-
duced in Ohio, and the steady decline
of the old fields in Indiana caused a
falling o'ff of 0.6 billion cubic feet in
the output of this state.
The general increase in the produc-
tion of natural gas in tjie United
States in 1916 is attributed principally
to an enormous expansion of the cas-
ing head gasoline industry in all nat-
ural-gas producing stStes and to a
greatly augmented demand for natural
gas as fuel by industries engaged in
the manufacture of munitions of war.
The influence of this demand is shown
in the increase in the volume of gas
and in the increase in the value of
gas consumed, its effect being suffident
to lower the average price per thou-
sand cubic feet of all gas sold in 1916
1 per cent as compared with 1915.
The prindpal benefidaries of the
increased production of natural gas
were, in the order named, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, West Vir-
ginia, California, and Louisiana, which
together consumed some 104,000,000,-
000 cubic feet more gas in 1916 than
in 1915.
Of the total volume of natural gas
produced and consumed in 1916, it is
estimated that 235,380,764,000 cubic
feet, or 31 per cent, was distributed
to 2,362,494 domestic consumers at an
average price of 28.63 cents a thousand
cubic feet, and that the remaining 69
per cent, or 517,789,489,000 cubic feet,
was distributed to 18,278 Industrial
consumers at an average price of 10.21
cents a thousand.

UNCLE 8AM 18 TO CATCH

A contract for 1,000 shark
hooks has been awarded by Un-

smith.
There are to be three varieties
of hook, 11, 10 and 9 inches in
length. A chain and swivd are
to be attached to each hook.
It is reported from Washing-
ton that the government is about
to prospect in a new leather
field, that of shark skins. In
a series of tests a durable and
satisfactory leather has been
evolved from the skins of these
fish. It is believed there is no
reason why an Industry may not

NEW ZEALAND GOOD MARKET
8hoe Dealers Find Goods Marked
"Latest American Styles" Attract
, Most Patronage.
American shoe manufacturers have
it in their power to increase their
sales in New Zealand in spite of -the
preferential tariff that operates
against them, says a report issued by
Uncle Sam's bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. AmeNcan shoes
are as well thought of there as in
other parts of the world and the
strongest bid for patronage that a re-
tailer can make is to show In his win-
dows shoes marked "Latest American
Style."
The business obtainable in the New
Zealand market is well worth culti-
vating, it is declared, for the mer-
chants are a most dependable class
of careful, conservative shoe dealers,
and the people can afford to buy the
highest-priced footwear. Of the $2,-
000,000 worth of footwear imported
in 1916, only about $175,000 worth
came from the United States, There
is little question that American shoes
could hold a more important place in
the market, says the government re-
port, if more sales energy were back
of them. Other shoes are being sold
for fully as high prices as would
have to be charged for American

The Federal Palace, Merida.
SAILING into a foreign port at
the break of day appears to be
a favorite custom with the av-
erage sea captain, and the occa-
sion to which we write was no excep-
tion. For several hours our ship's
course had been guided by flashes from
the friendly lighthouse, and the latter
we knew stood on the Yucatan shore
at Progreso. The morning broke calm
and peacefully over the tropical wa-
ters of the gulf, and soon the move-
ment of anchor chains automatically
announced that the limit had been
reached—th,e limit of deep water—and
five miles away lay Progreso, one of
the world's most important shipping
centers of henequen or hemp.
Going ashore at Progreso is rather
an exciting novelty if not a dangerous
experience, writes William A. Reid In
the Bulletin of the Pan-American
Union. The sea is. alive with sharks,
and they are darting here and there
about the big ship, to the consterna-
tion of the stranger. The clear waters
which bathe this shore seem to accen-
tuate the size of these monsters, and
while the visitor shudders the boat-
men on the ship's tender, as we are
bounding shoreward, announce that
arrangements may then and there be
made for a shark-fishing excursion
later in the day.
Progreso from the sea presents long
rows of houses flanked on either end
by miles of sandy beaches, while a
tall lighthouse about the center of the
port dominates the surroundings. The
general appearance is attractive, and
even more so when we notice tidy
buildings and the cleanly clothing of
even the laboring class. The time was
August when we arrived in Progreso—
about the very worst season of the
year for the foreign visitor in Yuca-
tan ; but business matters do not wait
for the most propitious occasions. As
a matter of fact, the winter season in
the United States furnishes the best
time climatically for visiting Yucatan.
Few 8lghts to See In Progreso.
Sightseeing in Progreso does not
detain the visitor. B;ut the port with
its (MXX> people is usually a busy one,
as the bulk of the vast henequen crop
passes via Progreso to world markets.
The smaller ships calling for cargo
manage to draw much doser to port
than the big ocean vessels; but when
the long-talked-of piers are construct-
ed several miles out into the roadstead
the handling of the country's com-
merce will be greatly fadlltated.
In the shipping season the town
presents unusually active scenes with
its trucks, mules, and men. One might
Imagine himself amid the cotton bales
at New Orleans, so much do henequen
and cotton resemble each other in the
method of shipment and size of bales.
By and by the day grows warmer,
and one is glad to board the train for
Merida, 30 miles southward. Travel-
ing on this three-foot gauge road is
cheap, being only about two cents a
mile for the best accommodation of-
fered. Slowly through the suburbs of
Progreso our train steams, but soon
we are moving rapidly over a level
country with a dry and parched ap-
pearance, abounding in shrubs, cacti,
and coarse grasses; but to this condi-
tion Yucatan owes its vast revenue de-
rived from the marvelous little maguey
plant and its product. Here and there
are breaks in the barrenness and we
catch sight of swamps with lilies and
other water plants, a relief to Jook
upon.
As our train proceeds, with stops
at little stations en route, the cars
are better filled, and at the same time
opportunities are afforded^ for getting
close glimpses of the henequen work-
ers and their fields of maguey plants
that lie in vie\^r from the car window.
Long before sighting Merida the land-
scape becomes dotted witli windmills,
and when finally the capital city is
reached one can almost imagine him-
self in old Holland or Barbados, about
the only difference being that Yucatan
has the modern-style mill. These wind-
mills explain that Merida, like other
regions of the country, must pump wa-
ter from beneath the surface, so few
are the lakes and streams.
Driving About Merida.
After being made comfortable In one
of Merida's hotels we start out to view
the city. There is no lack of vehicles
and the stranger is literally swamped
with proffers of a "delightful drive."
Most of these small carriages, gener-
ally drawn by a single pony, Lave rub-
ber tires, and many are kept conspicu-
ously clean and inviting looking,
despite the dust of the suburban sec-
tions of the city.
Merida today claims 62,000 people;
and among its residents are numerous
famflies of wealth which have ac-
quired riches In connection with the
great industry, the growing of the
maguey and the production of hene-
quen. Merida, while not as old as the
port of Sisal, dates from 1542, when a
settlement was founded by Francisco
Montejo on the site of the andent
Maya city of Tihoo. Today one of the
most interesting buildings to be seen
in Merida is the casa Montejo, still
well preserved after weathering the
sunshine and storms of centuries. An-
other edifice which every visitor
should see "is the cathedral which was
started in 1561 and not completed for
nearly 40 years.
For those fond of seeing relics of
bygone ages a visit to the museum
will be full of Interest, and especially
so if some of the ancient Yucatan
ruins are to be seen and explored. In
the former one may inspect artides
and curios that have been collected
from the ruins and preserved—really
a link connecting the art and trade of
past centuries with present peoples.
Merida-, commercially, industrially,
and socially has greatly improved dur-
ing recent years. Streets and avenues
have been paved with asphalt, elec-
tricity has been provided, labor-saving
machinery introduced, and otherwise
life and conditions have been modern-
ized.
Climatically, Merida is hot, but
healthful. During the hours of mid-
day the sun's rays are extremely un-
pleasant and the stranger is told to_
keep in the shade. Cool breezes from
the surrounding seas, however, often
temper the heat of the whole penin-
sula. The months of March and April
are regarded as especially trying to
the newcomer in any part of Yucatan;
winter by fa^ is the best season Nfor
visiting the country, and during these
months the excursion to the famous
ruins existing in several different
parts of the peninsula can be made
with a fair degree ,of comfort The
temperature in Merida ranges from
about 75 degrees to 98 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Volan the Popular Vehicle.
The visitor in Merida for the first
time will be interested in a native ve-
hicle known as the "volan," which
might be aptly termed a half brother
of the famous calash of Quebec. The
volan has two big wheels and is usual-
ly drawn by' three ponies working
abreast; it is provided with easy-rid-
ing springs, a thick mattress floor cov-
ering offers a soft seat on the floor of
the vehicle, while a top with side cur-
tains protects the traveler from the
sun's rays. Highways In Yucatan have
not greatly improved with the degree
of the prosperity of the land, and the
volan seems to be a popular method
of cross-country transportation. The
stranger out of curiosity, if for noth-
ing else, usually goes for a ride in this
rather novel means of travel.
Mingling with the business men of
Merida provides excellent opportuni-
ties for studying the commercial pide
of affairs; and I found many of these
gentlemen willing to talk freely about
Yucatan's future outlook. On^ of the
first things which seems to hdve im-
pressed itself upon the average resi-
dent is the improved condition provid-
ed for the laboring classes, such as
higher wages for -work and generally
more freedom of action than in for-
mer years. Better wages out on the
henequen plantation is of course re-
flected in the business activities of
Merida, for the latter Is not only the
capital of the state but a place in
which everything centers. The work-
ing day has been reduced to eight
hours, and fo* this time the henequen
laborer Is paid the equivalent $1.50 to
$3; five days the Yucatecan works
and two days of the week are reserved
for rest and recreation. On the larger
plantations schools have been opened
at the expense of tie landowner, and
numerous improved sanitary regula-
tions are in force.
If the stranger tarries In Merida he
Is likely to have opportunities for
seeing something of the home life of
the people. Even during a stroll along
the best residential streets a glance
into open-door patios reveals charm-
ing flower gardens and a degree of
comfort and refinement not noticeable
from outward appearances of the av-
erage private home. Many of Merida's
citizens are hospitable to a marked
degree, and when the foreign visitor
finds favor and Is invited to the fangly
circle he is on the road to many en-
joyable functions.

"Snub-nosed!"
"Freckled I"
"And homely as sin !**.
"But we must pamper and coddle
this dear andent lady of ours on ac-
count of the shekels."
Miss Tabitha Todd gasped. Eter
hand fell away. She made a dash
for the heartless tell-tale phonograph
and shut it off.
"Outrageous!" she almost shrieked.
"Abominable I" she added and went
to the mirror and surveyed herself.
Yes, she was snub-nosed, and yes, she
was freckled. As to her homeliness
there was no question. Her faded old
eyes filled with tears and her lips puck-
ered.
"It isn't that I am that," she breath-
ed brokenly. "It's the heartlessness of
it, "after my shekels I* Willis, whom I
loved as an own sonl Clara, who
was to be a Joint heiress I A shallow,
faithless, undeserving pair of wretched
schemers. Well, I am warned in time,
thank goodness!"
It had all come about through her
toephew, Willis Band, and his wife,
Clara, whose guest she was, leaving
her alone in the house that morning.
They had treated Aunt Tabitha like
an own mother. So far her week's
visit had "attached her more than ever
"to this happy-spiritea young couple,
who, in the absence of any very ma-
terial wealth, seemed to live and thrive
•n love and kisses.
Miss Todd bustled from the room, to
reappear ten minutes later ready for
the street, suitcase in hand. She pro-
ceeded to remove the wretched record
from the instrument She replaced it
where she had aeddently discovered it,
way upon the plate rail. She loved the
phonograph, but had tired of £hose so
often played records in the cabinet and
had resolved to try this old one to
while the time away. *
"There!" she voiced tartly. "They
shall never know how their perfidy
came to be exposed."
Then Miss Tabitha Todd scrawled
a few lines on a sheet of paper, left it
on the table and flounced from that
treacherous roof, on fire with indigna-
tion and resentment.
It was four hours later when Willis
and Clara returned. Willis was first
to discover the note. "What in the
name of wonder does this mean?" he
ejaculated, and both, petrified, read:
"Do not ever speak to me, write to
me, or even think of me again."
"Why!" gasped Clara.
"What," cried Willis. "Oh, Aunt Ta-
bitha has gone crazy!" He rushed up-
stairs, to find her belongings gone.
Then he hurried to the nearest tele-
graph office and indited a wire to the
home of their missing relative.
"Anxious. Clara worried to death.
What has happened?" the telegram
ran, but there came no reply.
Clara wrote the next day, but the
letter, unopened and enclosed in an-
other envelope, came back. Willis
called up Aunt Tabitha on the long-dis-
tance telephone, but as soon as his
voice was recognized the Irate old maid
hung up the recdver.
"It's no use," Willis told Clara final-
ly. "She has taken some perverse kink
and won't be condliated."
Miss Todd passed a desolate year In
her lonely village home. Many a time
a longing thought to see her discarded
relatives intruded on her mind, but
she banished It resolutely. She took
in several cats as pets, superseded
them with canine favorites, then in
turn with canary birds and began to
develop fads and eccentridtles that
aged and soured her.
One day Miss Todd was compelled
to go to the dty on business. She
sighed drearily as she recalled the
warm greetings a certain home had
once held for her. She transacted her
business and had to put In the after*
noon as best she could, for there was
no home train until late afternoon.
Finally she paused to read a bill-
board in front of a little bijou of a
theater. It announced that "the Eng-
lish players" were to give a matinee
that afternoon, program "the sterling
old standard drama, 'She Stoops to
Conquer,' preceded by the equally an-
cient, but famous skit, 'The Biter
Bit.'" Miss ITodd entered the theater.
The curtain rose. She was only in-
differently interested, she fanded, but
her mind aroused mightily as the cur-
tain rolled up and a stage dressing
room was the scene. A faded, bedi-
zened queen of tragedy, powdered^
roughed and furbelowed, was going on
In her part |ind her obsequious maid
and her husband were hypocritically
flattering h&r as to her beauty and
ability. But as she left them; behind
her back they derided her through ges-
tures and grimaces. Then, the instant
the door closed after the actress, the
following colloquy ensued:
"Snub-nosed!"
"And freckled!"
"Homely as sin!"
"But we must pamper and coddle
this dear ancient lady of ours on ac-
count of the shekels."
Miss Todd came upright with a
shock. Why! those were the very
words of the phonograph. Then—
then— She breathed and thought fast.
Enlightenment began to stream into
her mind. She arose from her seat
and went out into the lobby. She
walked up to the main usher.
"Will you tell me, sir," she began—
"the drama they are playing. Is it
very old?"
"Very old. Miss," bowed the profuse
usher.
"As—as old as I am?"
"Over twenty, you mean," propound-
ed the politic usher. "Yes, indeed,
Miss, it was written over two hundred
years ago. It is a great favorite with
amateurs, school exhibitions, church
entertainments, amateur clubs and all
that, but never acted as it is in this
country until—"
But Miss Todd had vanished. With
speed, an excited, distracted creature,
she reached the street. She hailed the
first cab she met It was old and shaky,
but she did not mind that If it had
been an express wagon, In her present
frame of mind Miss Todd would have
engaged it had it then been going her
way.
Miss Todd's way was the way to the
home of the Rands. She was lashing
herself and pitying them all the way.
Her eyes had been opened. She had
now recalled that Willie and Clara had
belonged to an amateur dramatic club.
The colloquy she had caught over the
phonograph was, of course, a record of
their parts in the play they were to
give.
Dear, persecuted children 1 How
she had unjustly misjudged them I
Could she ever forgive herself?
When she reached the little home
once so dear to her, now so longed for
by her repentent spirit she found a
moving van in front of it and two. men
carrying out a piece of furniture.
"What's this?" she snappid out
"Seized for debt," vouchsafed one-of
the movers.
"Seized—debt I" almost shrieked
Miss Todd. "What- 4iow do you
mean?"
"Just what I say. Mr. Band went
surety for a friend, who left him in
the lurch. Lawyer brought suit, judg-
ment Band and his wife are at his
office now, giving notes for defldency,
for furniture doesn't- cover full
amount."
"Where's this hideous persecutor of
my dear darlings?" quavered ' Miss
Todd and after informing the man that
the money would be paid at ohce to
move nothing from the house, the ener-
getic lady started for the office of the
lawyer.
Money covered the sordid features of
the occasion, tears, confession, recon-
ciliation, smiles, kisses the pathetic de-
ment of the case.
• Back in the old home Miss Todd
continued to dwell upon the circum-
stances.
"And I am snubnosed," she insisted.
"Grecian-classic," declared Willis.
"And freckled."
"So is Clara, since she had to do her
own washing. True sign of a fair com-
plexion.
"And homely as sin."
"What! you, the bdle of the village
when yon were a girl! Tell that to
the marines and some of the twenty
odd young fellows whose hearts you
broke by refusing to marry them."
And all this put Miss Tabitha Todd
in fine htunor.
"Well, there's the shekels, now," she
pursued finally. *Tm going to divide
them between you loyal two, provided
you give me a home here for the rest
of my days."
POISONOUS BITE OF FISHES
Attacks of the Octopus and Other Row
era of the 8ea Are Explained
by Pleron.
It used to be supposed thf^t cuttle*
fishes suffocated crabs with their suck-
ers and then tore them open with their
beaks. But the method is more subtle,
says Knowledge. In 1895 Krause
showed that the secretion of the pos-
terior salivary glands of the octopus
was very toxic, and it was supposed
that the octopus gave a poisonous bite.
But Pleron has recently shown that
the octopus at least does not bite the
crab until after death. The paralyzing
secretion is probably wafted into the
crab with the respiratory current
Similarly, In regard, to bivalves it
was thought that the cuttlefish forced
the valves asunder by flying suckers
to each valve and then pulling In oppo-
site directions. But Pleron has shown
with cockles, mussels, scallops, and
the like that the toxic juice first par-
alyzes the adductor muscles. In the
case of the cockle the octopus breaks
some of the teeth on the posterior mar-
gin of the shell, so that the salivary
Juice may get in more readily. After
paralysis has set in force Is employed,
but it does not require much. The se-
cretion from the stomach, of the star-
fish has apparently the same pa«
ralyzlng action on bivalves.
Art Never Grows Old.
A great work of art is never old-
fashioned ; because It expresses In final
form some truth about human nature,
and human nature never changes—in
comparison with its primal elements,
the mountains are ephemeral. A
drama dealing with the Impalpable
human soul Is more likely to stay true
than a treatise on geology, writes Wil-
liam Lyon Phelps In the Bookman.
This Is the notable advantage that
works of art have over the works of
science, the advantage of being and
remaining true. No matter how Im-
portant the contribution of sdentific
books, they are alloyed with inevitable
error, and after the death of their
authors must be constantly revised
by lesser men, improved by smaller
minds; whereas the masterpieces of
poetry, drama and fiction cannot be
