There la the vegetarian Argument from
the Bible.
Dr. Alcott says "twenty-two acres of
land art needed to sustain one man in
fresh mest. Under wheat that land will
fetd forty-two people, under oaU eighty
eight, under potatoes, malss or rice 178,
under the banana over 6,000. The crowded
cations of the future must abandon flesh
eating for a diet that will feed more thAn
tenfold people by tho same soil, expense
And labor.
There is the vegetarian argument from
tho economic side.
Mea Who Kill. OetraelseO.
Mrs, Annie Besant ssys: "Lately I have
been in the dty of Chicago, one of the
greatest slaughter bouses of the world,
where the slaughter men who Are em
ployed from early morn till late At night in
the killing of thousands of thess hapless
creatures, are made a class practically
apart from their fellowmen; they are
marked out by the police as the most dan
gerous part of the community. Amongst
them are committed most crimes' of vio
lence, and the most reedy use of the knife
Is found. And everyone who eats flesh has
part In that brutallsatlon; everyone Who
uees what they provide Is guilty of, this
degradation of his fellowmen."
There is the vegetarian argument from
the ethical aide.
In a long distance of walking endurance
of geventy miles in Germany some years
ago of the twenty-two starters eight were
vegetarians. Six of them made it within
the prescribed eighteen hours and the other
two came in a little late. Only one meat
eater appeared an hour after the last vege
tarian; the rest dropped off After thirty-five
miles.
There la the vegetarian Argument from
the practical side. The warmth of the sea
son helpg the body to digest readily the
foods. Less heat producing foods are
needed, and therefore logically A vegetable
diet la Indicated at this season.

A certain length of service tho operation
would require a large number of men and
such frequent interruption of service as to
be Impracticable in tho case of a plant with
miles of pipes. ;
An explosion of the pipes containing am
monia Is peculiarly dangerous In a packing
house, because the men at work there are
in rooms tightly closed by thick partitions
And heavy doors. Although there are stop
cocks at frequent intervals, the gas has
such an overwhelming effect upon anyone
who is exposed to it that the chances Are
decidedly Against his being Able to reach a
stopcock In time to Bare his life. The dan
ger is not so much tn tho viol en oe of tho
explosion as in tho resulting- escape of the
gas. In an artificial loo factory tho danger
la relatively small, alnoo tho aim there Is
not to chill tho Air, bat to ehfll the water,
And the way of escape ia open In ease of an
explosion.
Tbo only sure way to prevent explosions
la to have every eoollng plant duplicated,
so that every bit of the plr'ng may be
overhauled. Tho expense of this duplica
tion of plants is Almost prohibitive. The
only sure war of escaping the effects of
tho gas tn case of An explosion is to wear
a suit like a diver's with an independent
auppty of air, but the weight And awk
wardness of such a costume would inter
fere seriously with work. As tho ease
stands now this occupation must bo
classed among the extra hasardoua. The
men who enter it are in the same category
with soldiers, firemen, and other men who
deliberately risk their Irvea. The owners
of such a plant are not excused from mak
ing every reAsonabia effort to anticipate
and prevent an explosion, but tt will be

NEGLECT TO DRAW WAGES
Snasr Sam ef facia laed Meaey in
Trsesary of a Texas
Railroad.
Not leas than 13.000.000 ia unclaimed wage
checks is awaiting claimants in the treas
ury of the Sunset Iinee of Tsxas. Not a
thousandth' part over will be claimed -or
the owners would bare called for it long
ago. Tho money Is kept tn a apeotej fund,
and if a laborer shows up twenty years
later and oan grove his olatm tho money
will ho paid to him. In this way the rail
road eesnpaar differs from tho United
States, for on all government work unpaid
wages are aooredtted to tho general fund
After tho expiration of a year, and tho
fovernment la Just that much ahead.
It la hard to believe that auoh an im
mense sum as - tS.no.OOO oould aocruo
through the laborers not drawing their
checks. But most of the work was done
by Mexicans, who disappeared without A
word AS to thslr whereabouts. Ignorant
and untutored, the Mexican when he wishes
to quit simply psoks up hla belonginga
and hikes out without a word, never stop
ping to draw tba pay he la entitled to.
Negroes, too, add to tho fund, but their
contributions are not so frequent as from
the Mexicans, for tbo negro knows more
about how to get what la oomtng to him.
But it frequently happens that A negro
working on the section gets wind ot re
tributive Justice being on hia track for
some offense eommttted e lee where, and ho
promtly takeo leave. Sometimes ho sends
foe. his wages later on, but often it goes
to help swell the unpaid wage fond.

ROBBED BY SOUVENIR HUNTERS
Italian Warship Lotted y Some
Gaeeta at a Jamestown
Faatetloa.
The American souvenir hunter was partic
ularly conspicuous and greedy at a recent
function on board the flagship of the Italian
fleet at Hampton Roada. Admiral' Evans
reported the scandal in person to the au
thorities In Washington and publicly ex
pressed hla Indignation in no uncertain
terms.
"I was deeply mortified when it was re
ported to me that tho duke of tho Abrusil
And his officers had been robbed, said Ad
miral Evana to A Washington Poet reporter.
"In my general orders I. took oooaslon to
say thAt guests on board war vessels would
not be permitted to visit the prtvate quar
ters of tho officers unaccompanied by a
member of the staff.
"I have had so much experience with
souvenir fiends that I am not at All sur
prised that the duke of the Abruxxl and hla
offloera Buffered from their vandalism. The
American souvenir hunter will steal any
thing except a cellar fun of WAtsr. I know,
for I hAve been tho victim ot their raids on
more than one oooaslon. After numerous
looses on board tho various vessels whloh
I have 00 transuded I finally gave orders
thAt no visitors should be permitted to go
into the private quarters on any vessel un
less an officer or A member of the crew Ac
companied them. Numerous times tho ships
under my oommand have been practically
etrlpped of everything that oould bo cirri d
sway.
"At Boston on one occasion I was In com
mand of tho Indiana, a reception was given
on bosrd the ship. It was tho first time a
flrst-clASS war ship had visited Boston har
bor, the Indiana being the flret vessel of
that class. Probably 10,000 persona visited
tho ahlp, and when the reception waa over
and we went to turn on tho searchlight, wo
found that even tho carbons had been
taken. Tho screws on the searchlight liad
been taken out and the big lamp was lflt
for use. An examlnstlon of the two doMpn
or more guns showed that all gunslghts had
been carried away, while the officers' quar-g
tera had been depleted of everything tliar
couia m tasen.
"At another time in New Tork a reoeptloo
was given on board tho New Tork. and after
tt was over I went into my room to write
A note. I found that every bit of writing
paper that bore the crest of the battleship
bad been taken away, Gunslghta and other
parts of the armament bad been stolen.
"This is peculiar to America. I bare ha4
receptions on board my vessels to nearly
very country in the world, but in no place
other thAn America hare I ever missed any
thing, At Kiel. Germany, there were prob
ably a thousand persons present at a danoo
on tho New Tork, but not a pin was taken.
The reception given by the duke of the
Abruzst In Hampton Roada occurred In tho
afternoon and upward of 600 persona wore
guests of the duke and his offloera. - No pre
cautions were taken to guard Against theft.
It was not a card reoeptlon and any person
could have gone aboard. Boats wore run
ning back And forth from shore to ahlp and
it would have been possible for professional
thieves to have gut aboard tho Vareoe, but
from past experiences it la my opinion that
