EATINCf BARNACLES.
Prof. Trevor Kincaid, of the I Diversity of Washington,
lias opened an avenue to a new food supply. That’s the eagle
barnacle, or under its Latin cognomen, halamis aquila. Some
times there’s a pound of meat in this insect, for it is the biggest
barnacle known and it inhabits only the Pacific coast and Alas
kan waters. Says the professor:
“Tons of these binnacles may be harvested easily in the
San ,Juan islands, and students at the marine station at Friday
Harbor have tried them with most satisfactory results. They
contend that the barnacles are as good as the best crab or
shrijnp. Living on small forms of marine life, they are held
preferable to the crab, which is a scavenger. Their jiutritive
Milne is that of most food fishes.’’
He expresses doubt whether a market easily can be de
veloped, as the public taste first would have to be whetted’ for
barnacle, and that might take time. The variety to which lie
refers measure as much ns ten inches in height and seven
inches across the base. The animals will live for a week or
more after being removed from the water, and may be shipped
long distances. The shells make ornaments. When stepped
on by a bather they produce it novelty in profanity excelled bv
none other.

“Special staff correspondent for tin* l nited States -> n
ate,” a title to which Senator Fall, of New Mexico, seems to
have fallen heir, is new, and so far as we know unique, but one
apparently fitting in this day of censored news on the border
and close mouthed policy at the W hite House. W ith what dire
punishment would the president threaten this special corres
pondent should he gather details Of fresh murders of Ameri
cans in Mexico ami send them to the United States Senate?
Lot’s pull down the shades, stir the fire and contemplate
seioner subjects.
■-:o:
The new city council took over the affairs of the munici
pality last night, and as it is composed of a body of represen
tative and capable business men, their administration will un
doubtedly be as satisfactory as was their predecessors, who
conducted' the affairs of the city during the past year in a
capable and economical manner.
Science is heartless. It refuses to greet at a new addi
tion to omitliologic curiosities the nut-eating, night-flying
bird, the discovery of which Colonel Roosevelt recently r> port
ed from the West Indies. Bird men recognize the guacharo as
an old friend, and not unknown to United States soil.
-:o:
A dispatch says tin* mail service to Colonel Pershing’s
camp in Mexico is working perfectly, but that there is consid
erable trouble in getting food for the troops, but if the troops
receive all the war reports issued by El Paso correspondents
they probably don’t feel much like eating anyhow.
--:o:
The copyright has so long since run out on such expres
sions as “Raising the Dutch” and “Having Their Dutch Up”
that every editorial writer in the country no doubt will feel not
at liberty, hut called upon to rush into print with one of them.
-:o:
The Republican territorial convention is called to meet at
Seward, hut in the absence of Chairman Herron, who has been
delayed in reaching there, the meeting will likely be adjourned
until his arrival.
Roosevelt is against demagogues. He writes: “On the
whole, the demagogue is at least as great an enemy of social
advancement as’the crooked champion-of business and special
privilege.”
