DISTINCTION WON
BY CONTINENTAL
First Insurance Company to Finish
Payment of Losses
The distinction of being the first insurance
company to finish the payment of its San Fran
cisco conflagration losses is claimed by the
Continental of New York Several companies
have been anxious to secure this honor and the
Continental is triumphant in the race Yester
day it paid the last claim against it on account
of the fire of April 18th
Arthur Q Nason general agent of the Conti
nental say 9 The Continental has repeated
the record it made at Baltimore in 1904 when
it was the first to get through with the settle
ment of losses It was the first company to bo
gin paying here its first settlement being made
on April 23th ten days after the conflagration
began It has completed the work of adjust
ment and payment in four months and eight
days from that time It had a fall corps of
adjusters from its Chicago and Now York of
ficesmen noted for their ability and courtsey
and they dealt with proofs of loss as fast as
filed The Continental has paid 807 loss claims
aggregating 2402790 and has made payment
in full without any discount whatever regard
less of reinsurance which wa3 pleaded by so
many other companies as a reason for not giv
ing tho full amount duo The largest indi
vidual draft was given Wells Fargo Co be

PURE WATER
fcpl
Every Home Can Have It IVltli Little
Trouble and Eiiiennc
A good filter Is an expensive thing
a poor one is of little or no account
and almost any filter unless it is kept
clean is more destructive of life and
health than the water it filters The
care of the filter can never he given
over to the care of irresponsihle serv
ants It soon begins to smell foul
and it is ultimatetly given up with
disgust as costing more than it
comes to
It is within the power of every house
keeper to provide the family with
pure and sparkling water at the ex
pense of but a few cents a year and
the smallest amount of attention every
day
In France the purifying of water in
this way is carried on to a considera
ble extent and with elaborate and ex
pensive machinery But with no ma
chinery at all the housewife can pro
duce practically the same result
Take any vessel you may chance to
have handy I have found a stone pot
which you can buy any place for 10
cents one that slopes down the sides
to a small bnse at the bottom about
the best of anything Be sure that
your vessel is clean Fill it nearly full
with water from the faucet
The rule for mixing the precipitating
purifier which you are about to use is
1 to G000 It is more than likely that
you will have no way to ascertain
these exact proportions but do not let
that discourage you A little experi
ence is worth a gooddeal In this world
whether the work be done is compli
cated or simple A few days of trial in
using the separator will serve to guide
you all right
For a starter say that to a pitcher
holding a quart of water you take a
small amount of pulverized alum
about what would go on the rounded
point of the blade of a pocketknife
toss it into the water and mix it thor
oughly This you can do with a spoon
an ess beater or a whip cream churn
The only thing is to see that the alum
Is thoroughly mixed with the water
and it takes considerable stirring to do
this
If you notice little moss islands In
the water which same little islands do
not seem to want to go to the bottom
with their companions you will know
that you have not properly mixed the
alum with the water As water costs
nothing and the alum but the merest
trifle you can throw the water away
and set some more But you need
not do this All you have to do is to
stir it all up good again
When the work is properly done the
water is crystal clear and has a live
taste One thing that makes distilled
water so unpalatable is the absolutely
dead taste it has
Another great advantage of water
thus prepared is that it is not subject
to auto infection or self contamination
which is such a great enemy to most
filtered waters This water will remain
pure even though exposed to the air in
open vessels for thirty six hours
Although so small an amount of alum
would not hurt you if you were tc
drink every particle of It be not
alarmed You do not get any of the
alum when you drink for the water
upon analysis is found to be chemically
free from alum The alum has settled
to the bottom in an Insoluble com
pound with the filth and impurities it
has carried with it
In half an hour or less you will see
a deposit on the sides and bottom of
your pan or pot in which you have
set your water If you will shake
the vessel a bit you will see this de
posit go to the bottom If you can
spare the time the water should stand
for about six hours before it is de
canted Then place in clean bottles
on the ice
In this way you drink a pure cold
sparkling water without the contami
nation that is bound to come from
putting Ice in the drinking water un
less the ice has been manufactured
from filtered water Ruth Everett in

Cocoannti
The milk in the water cocoanut is a
food as well as a beverage The cart
driven through the streets of Jamaica
by the quaint old darky urging along
his rebellious steed in the form of a
native donkey is an interesting sight
One is amazed at the dextrous man
ner in which the vender takes the un
ripe cocoanut in his hand and deftly
cuts a hole in the top from which you
drink the milk Then you return the
nut to the man and with his machete
he cracks it into three pieces and cuts
a spoon shaped sliver from one side
from which you eat the white jelly
like substance scraped from the inside
These are the unripe cocoanuts When
ripe the jelly hardens into the hard
white substance to which we are ac
customed
Luck Versus Labor
Luck Is ever waiting for something
to turn up labor with keen eyes and
strong will will turn up something
Luck lies in bed and wishes the post
man would bring him the news of a
legacy labor turns out at G oclock and
with busy pen or ringing hammer lays
the foundation of a competence Luck
whines labor whistles Luck relies on
chance labor on character Cobden

My oldest boy if I do say it my
self declared Skinner proudly is a
thoroughly honest and truthful young
man

yet some people insist that heredity
figures largely in the development of a

RADIUM AND LIFE
The Experiment Tltnt Have Been
Blade and What They Show
Does It appear that any one has pre
pared from sterilized bouillon by the
action of radium or In any other way
living organisms capable of multiply
ing either by repeated subdivision or
by means of spores or capable of pro
ducing definite fermentive changes
such as those which we associate with
so many of the organisms hitherto In
vestigated The answer jumps straight
to the lips No such discovery has been
recorded nor has anything been ob
served which would justify us in sup
posing that we are on the verge of
making such a discovery at the present
moment
The fact Is that though much has
been written and among other thlnga
quite a big book very little has really
been accomplished up to the present
A few preliminary experiments sug
gested by tho marvelous qualities of
radium have been made and that is
all Those experiments and their re
sults whl ch are not at all revolution
ary may be described in half a dozen
sentences Mr Burke finds that when
small quantities of radium bromide or
chloride are scattered on the surface of
carefully sterilized bouillon well pro
tected from tho air in closed vessels
minute objects appear In the bouillon
after one or two days
These objects have been watched
and Mr Burke reports that after their
first appearance they develop into two
dots next present the appearance of
dumbbells and subsequently of bis
cuits afterward take on forms which
remind an observer of frogs spawn
and finally divide lose their individual
ity and become transformed into mi
nute crystals
These bodies which Mr Burke very
prematurely describes as cultures do
not multiply as living organisms
should do when they are transferred
to fresh tubes of sterilized bouillon
though as might be expected they
give some slight evidence that the ac
tivity of the radium salt is not quite
exhausted by Its first action and they
are soluble in water
Now it would be dogmatic to say
that radium will not generate life in
organic matter but clearly Mr Burke
gives us little or no reason to suspect
that it does so at present Cornhill
