"LOTUS" PLANT A MYSTERY
Scientists In Dispute a to What Kind

ablt Effects,
What was the plant the "lotus eat

land, nnd partook of the remarkable
vegetable losing nil desire to return to

There has been no end of dlspnte

iM'en the Egyptian lotus, which within
recent years has begun to be widely
grown in water gardens. This plant
develops tubers, deep In the mud,
which are about the size of bens' eggs
nnd good to ent, but the eating of
them hns no such deleterious effect aa
that above described.
The Egyptian lotus la a kind of
water illy, whose superb flowers look
like huge pink tulips. Once upon a
time It grew wild along the banks of
the Nile, and the surmise la that orig
inally It won fetched from India,
where it Is native. It wns regarded
anciently as the emblem of the Nile,
nnd the symbol of the creation of the
world from the waters. To tie Egyp
tians It was a sacred plant. They
cultivated It In ponds nnd tanks,
wreathing their heads with the blos
soms on festive occasions.
The lotus hns had a wonderful inflrj
ence upon architecture. Its leaves and
buds appear In the capitals of classic
columns and In every sort of antique
decorative carving it is the motif most
frequently chosen. The art work of
Jnpnn (Into which country It was Im
ported) Is Inspired by It to a greater
extent than by anything else in na

Contact with great crowds Is no

PRODUCE NEW LIQUID FUEL
Spirit Known as "NatalKe," Made In
Papua, Put on Market Chaaper
Than Gasoline.
The livers In the sn gar-growing dis
tricts of Australia will run less sweet
ly now that the government has re
moved the excise duty of a shilling a
gallon which haa made unprofitable
the local manufacture of Industrial
alcohol. Every year, so writes a cor
respondent of the London Times
Trade Supplement from Sydney, hun
dreds of thousands of gallons of
molasses have been run .Into those
rivers because there was no profit In
using the molasses to make alcohol;
but the removal of the duty conies as
nn Important part of the movement
now under way to replace petrol with
Industrial alcohol and thus make Aus
tralia able to produce her own liquid
fuel.
One Immediate result has been the
formation In Australia of an Impor
tant company to manufacture Indus
trial alcohol: and one future result
seems to be that Australians who now
speak of petrol will eventually say
"nntnllte." In Natal a patent spirit
which haa been given this new nnme
Is already being marketed at a price
lower than petrol, and the making of
this liquid fuel Is about to be under
taken on a large scale In Papua, where
plants and trees have been discovered
that are expected to yield about 73
gallons a ton. A hundred square miles
of country have been reserved on
which some 6,500,000 gallons of nntnl
lte a year are considered a reasonable
beginning with the likelihood of In
creasing the output to at least 18,
000,000 gallons when a system of re
planting the land has been put In
operation. The plan goes further, and
will seek to engage farmers to co
operate by raising crops of sorghum,
with an estimated yield of 80 gallons
of Industrial alcohol to the ton, for
a share In the profits. .
AS HE SIZED UP THE VISITOR
Hotel Clerk Waa Pretty Sure That He
Waa Not Likely to Coma In
.Very Early.
Cortlnndt Bleeker said at a New
York roof-garden supper:
"Apropoa of New York as a summer
resort, I heard a story the other day.
"A westerner blew in here and ap
plied for a room In a hotel. The hotel
clerk said to him :
" "Very sorry, sir, but we're so over
crowded that I'll have to ask yon to
share a room with another gentleman.
Will that dor
"'lira. Yes, I suppose so said the
Westerner reluctantly, "but will this
ehnp turn In early? I've got a lot of
work to do here In New York, and m
need a lot of sleep, and I don't want to
be disturbed, by crinus."
The clerk laughed.
"You'll have your night's rest com
pleted before tills gentleman ever gets
In,' he said.
" 'Sure of thatr said the westerner.
"Certainly, said the clerk. 'You
see, the man's been stopping with us
every August for the last eleven yenrs,
and this Is the first time he's made the
trip without bis wife.'"
Men Always Lovers of Color.
Men's love of color can be traced
to the dawn of history. Perhaps the
rainbow offered Itself as a color care
to the Babylonians. Egyptians and
the Chinese, for history reveals the
fact that centuries before the Chris
tian era color played an Important
part In their art and architecture. In
Egypt., water colors made of powdered
pigments, mixed with gums and wnter.
were used In the temples and on the
monuments of the ancient dynasties.
Specimens of Egyptian art color work
are exhibited In the University ol
Pennsylvania Museum of Art; the ear
liest date back about 9,000 years.

In the description of the amenities
of the Shakespeare hotel, Stratford

Shakespeare came before Sir Thomas
Lucy on a charge of stealing deer
from Charlcote park. The charge Is
open to the comment that In the time
of Elisabeth there was no deer park
at Charlcote. To this It Is retorted that
deer were to be found In many parks
not described aa deer parka. As to all

Japan Said to Be Furnishing Practi
cally All of the Buttons Now
Used In China.
The style has changed In Manchuria
that, Just after the establishment of
the republic, set many Chlneae wear
ing the garments of the West, and
needing naturally western buttons.
Such buttona, saya Consul General Al
bert W. Pontius, writing home from
Mukden to his government, were Ira
ported about equally from Japanese
and Luropean manufacturers, but now
the Chinese have pretty well gone back
to their own style of dress, and the
one European garment that attll re
mains popular la the heavy ulster. One
no longer needa buttons, except for
one's ulster, and these are now chiefly
Imported from Japan, for the Chinese
costume does very well with "frogs."
But buttons, no longer seen, are evi
dently needed somewhere, for In 1019
China Imported about $400,000 worth
of them, bone buttons, composition but
tons, and mother-of-pearl buttona, and
about 89 per cent of these buttons
were "made In Japan." The war baa
given Japan almost a monopoly: one
might say that Japan buttona China.
And so It Is, says Consul General Pon
tius, with needles to sew the buttona
on. Before the war China waa Import
ing approximately tOOO.OOO worth of
needles a year, chiefly from Germany
and Austria ; but now the .Japanese
needle manufacturers control the Chi
nese market, and that la sad for the
Chinese needlewoman or needleman,
because the Japanese needles do not
keep their sharp points anything like aa
long aa the European needles.' Chris
