Iron Roads for England
A number of cast-iron roads are to
be laid in Kurland, following auceesa-
full experiments with abort sections.
The advantages of such roads are
said to be that they are guaranteed
to wear about twice as well as stone
and »r*ree times a well as wood : that
the short projections on the surface
of the rtletal prevent skidding, and
that British iron can be used Instead
of foreign materials.
The cost of building iron roads t*
reported to be the same as for the
best wooden paving. The metal is
laid not in long sheets, but by put-
ting triangular castings on a cement
base.

T—tlBMJ legs, once almost an exchi-
rH *!''• tidbit of Gallic peoples, are
JL adorning many American dinner
tallies. Sixty million frog legs
are consumed In New York city an-
nually. Chicago also proves that frog-
leg eating Is becoming “Amerlesnese,”
for more than thirty-six million were
p»iten In that elty last year. San
Francisco palates were "tickled” by
more than sixteen million frog legs;
New Orleans ate slightly more, and
Los Angeles slightly less.
In fact, frog logs have become no
popular that a new Industry—frog
ranching—has come Into American In
dustrinl life. California has no na-
tive frogs but ranchers have seen to
it that many pairs have been Imported
from Louisiana to habilitate synthetic
frog lakes and marshes.
The frog's entry on American menus
recalls many strange foods of the
world. In the markets of the United
Stales where frog legs may ho pur-
chased. the housewife may buy a fresh
“marsh rabbit” which, before trapping
and skinning, was none other than n
muskrat.
For two centuries a town In Massa-
chusetts has supported a seaweed
(Irish "nioss) Industry. Irish moss Is
lorn from New England rocks and Is
usfd in making blancmange and many
ot^er puddings. There are some 206
edible seaweeds from which are ex-
tracted Ingredients for American Ice
creams, jellies, pastries, cereal foods
and salads, while in Japan the weeds
are boiled with rice and strips of meat
and placed In a popular sandwich
called sushi. The Japanese cultivate
seaweed and in Tokyo hay the "farm-
ers” employ more than 3,000 people.
Raw monkey brains on the half
skull, pigskins and bird’s nest soup
and pickled water beetles are eaten
In China. Silkworms are eaten after
the cocoon has been unwound. Horses,
donkeys and camels, after they have
lost their usefulness ns beasts of bur-
den, are consumed by some Asiatic
tribes. Caterpillars, frogs and snails
are relished when obtainable.
Water lily bulbs make delectable
oriental desserts. The bulbs are oft-
en called water chestnuts. Their nu-
tritive value Is compared with that of
tapioca.
Old Eggs Liked in China.
Chinese enjoy eggs whose owners
have long forgotten their' age. The
orientals claim they lend a somewhat
oysterlike taste to oriental soups.
Jellyfish also are relished along the
\shitle seaboard.
At Japanese inns the traveler is told
that “Bombay duck” can he had at a
reasonable price. The hungry custom-
er visions a fat fowl but the Waiter
brings in pieces of smoked fish about
two inches long and as thin ns a dime.
The menu also Includes pickled sea-
weed. seaweed jelly, and chutney,
which resembles pickled citron, but Is
almost ns hot as Mexican chile.
More raw than cooked fish is eaten
by Japanese. Raw baby octopuses are
particularly popular. "Japanese Lint*
burger” is not a cheese but a Japanese
pickled diakon, or long white radish.
Koreans, like many orientals live
mostly on rice They cook their sea-
weed In oil and serve It with slices of
red peppers, Kltnshee, a kind of
sauerkraut, Is a favorite Korean dish.
To the north, the natives of Kam-
chatka relish the tongues and the nar-
row of the hones of reindeer, hut the
plece-de-reslstance Is the meat of un-
born fawns. From the stomach of the
reindeer the natives obtain their
greens—half digested balls of moss.
A popular native dish is reindeer saus-
age which nas been surrounded by
dough and dropped into boiling water.
On the lower end of the peninsula
where salmon are plentiful, dishes of
boiled fish eyes are considered a deli-
cacy. Some inhabitants of Asia Minor
prefer sheep eyes.
New Guinea natives find China a
good market for sharks’ fins from which
the Celestials make a delectable soup,
and also for beche de mer, a large
sea sing foun l in south Pacific waters.
Eel Is a Popular Dish.
The New Guinea natives are fond
of the pith of sago palms, potatoes and
bananas; and dog, snake and lizard
Mesh vie with that of the pig. The
womenfolk gather beetles, grubs and
larvae from trees to grace the festive
hoard.
Eel meals are as popular among Jap-
anese as are Maryland chicken dinners
in Baltimore. In some Japanese cities,
eel houses are nearly as numerous as
welner stands at a county fair. When
the diner enters an eel house he is
led to a large tub of live eels. He
makes Ids choice of the wriggling crea-
tures, It Is speared, split along the
back, cut Into small pieces, and with
soy sauce, Is cooked over a charcoal
lire.
Perhaps few people live ns close to
nature as the pygmies of the Belgian
Congo. Tender roots are staples, but
birds, small game, rodents or cater-
pillars are not objectionable.
In addition to many viands on the
pygmy bill of fare, the Madagascar
natives eat a species of spider, silk-
worms, grasshoppers, and dried lo-
custs. When a “cloud” of locusts set-
tles on n crop, a sufficient number of
them are collected to offset the loss
of food which the insects consume.
Every good native Madagascan
housewife bus In reserve a supply of
dried locusts to sustain the family in
times of famine. Grasshopper soup
is a Hottentot dish of merit. Arabs
make a Hour of the dried insects.
Yak cheese is a staple in the Mull
kingdom of western China and would
not he objectionable to the western
traveler If It were not for the numer-
ous yak hairs in the substance.
Ou the table of the Corsican, a trav-
eler might see half of the head of a
lamb with tongue, cheek and brain in
place. About the time the American
appetite is whetted for Thanksgiving
turkey, Corsican fishermen are catch-
ing eels for home consumption and for
shipment to Nice and Naples where
they are a delicacy.
A diner In a restaurant In Spree-
wnld, Germany, wbribe order does not
Include eels will draw a curious glance
from native patrons. There, eels, cu-
cumbers and cherry pie, are "notional
dishes.”
Truffles of France.
The varied hill of fare of the
Frenchman Includes foie gras—a paste
of fatty goose livers. Truffles are
rare delicacies. French farmers are
frequently seen leading their pig and
dog "truffle sniffers” over the fields.
Truffles are small, round, bluckish-
grny fungi which usually are found
uhout six inches below tlie surface of
the earth. When the "sniffer" locates
a truffle, he tries to uproot It. When
near the choice morsel Ids master
strikes him sharply on the nose with
a slick and completes the digging. La-
ter the unlmal is rewarded by. the
rough trimmings of the truffle with a
view to keeping Ids truffle scent keen.
Basques about Billion, Spain, relish
white, transparent worms uhout two
inches long. They are fried In oil and
are served hot.
One unusual meat is served not far
from the American border. The In-
dians of Mexico prefer Iguana flesh
to chicken. The appearance In the
markets of the green llzardliUe body,
bedecked with a crest of spines run-
ning down to a long ulllgator-llke fall,
dulls the appetite of the hungry alien
shopper.
Crocodile meat is good food in Af
rlca and southern negroes enjoy the
tails of the reptiles. Meat of sharks
from temperate and tropical waters
has a good market In Africa and also
on the Malay peninsula while the great
Arctic shark is u native food of Green-
land.
Europe takes its snail Industry se-
riously. Snail harvesting begins in
June of each year when whole fum
Hies desert their homes to heat the
hushes In the alps near the Fran co-
Swiss frontier. Like oysters, snails
should he eaten only In rhe "R”
months of the year, so many of the
collected snails are taken to "snail
farms” and fed up on vegetables and
m:#'iy varieties of green leaves for
marketing.
Paris is one of the world's lending
snail consuming cities. Sixty to eighty
million snails are handled in the
French capital during a single wirter.
There are peoples who literally eat
dirt. In the Sudan, portions of South
America and in tlie West Indies, many
tribes eat certain kinds of clay they
find on the river bums. They believe
it is a remedy for anemia and foi
many other maladies
MEMORIES OF OLD
DE LANCEY HOUSE
Abode in Which Fenimore
Cooper Won Bride.
An old house on the Boston post
foad on the outskirts of Mamaroneck.
now reduced to a lowly filling station,
was more than u century ago the
scene of a memorable event. Here
it was, on New Year’s day. 1811, that
James Peter I)e Lancey. grandson of
Caleb Heathcote, first lord of Scars-
dale, gave his daughter Susan in mar-
riage to James (later Fenimore)
Cooper, son of Judge William Cooper
of Cooperstown.
Susan and the twenty-one-year-old
bridegroom were married in mid-aft-
ernoon. When the nuptials were over
the young couple calmly sat down to
a quiet game of chess in the De Lan
cey drawing room. Later they set
out for Cooperstown, a strange wed-
ding journey on which to embark in
the dead of winter. The roads were
often deep with snow, the distance
was great, and the trip untaken in o
gig drawn by two horses, tandem.
It is probable James Fenimore
Cooper and his bride lived in the
De Lancey house for a period; cer-
tainly they dwelt for some time in
the neighborhood. Later they moved
to Scarsdale. where on the Angevine
farm Cooper built a house and there-
in wrote his first work. “Precaution.”
Aside from its historical associa
tions. the old house is well worth ob-
sevation. It is an excellent example
of Colonial architecture. Although
one corner has been cut away to ac-
commodate gas pumps, and another
walled with immodest plate glass to
produce a showroom, the main en-
trance, upper story and attic remain
intact.
Its walls, still a dingy white, are
of clapboard and shakes. Its three-
dormer windows are today as they
were when first built. The graceful
moldings of original doors, eaves and
window frames continue to exhibit
the craftsmanship of Revolutionary
Journeymen.
From the panel by the door pro-
trudes the same brass pear of the
hell-pull that signaled the arrival of
wedding guests on that New Year’s
day years ago. Four sturdy brick
chimneys pusli through the gray roof
slates, eloquent of broad, hospitable
hearths, about which guests lingered
with old Peter, sipping a final tank-
ard of his dark brew or puffing at a
last long pipe of his acrid twist while
they traced by dead reckoning the
progress of the newlyweds on their
honeymoon journey across frosty
country roads;
In 1S11 the house did not stand
where it does now. About the turn
of the century it was moved from its
semi-isolated hillside setting down to
the corner of what is now Fenimore
road.
Cooper bequeathed Westchester
county a reputation for literary prow-
ess. On the Tompkins road, where
It crosses White Plains post road at'
Scarsdale, Is erected a tablet to the
memory of his "Spy.”—New York
Times.
Slight Warning Given

Carbon monoxide poisoning is one

Deer Rescued by Roping

Then the deer bounded Into the

Men and women find that those recurrent spring colds reduce
their alertness of mind and body. To avoid such nuisances,
doctors advise them to increase their bodies’ store of Vitamin
A. It is recognized that Scotr’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil
contains a wealth of this valuable protective vitamin . . as
well as Vitamin D, so indispensable for sound bones and
teeth. Children and adults find the emulsion an easy, pleasant
