A New Breakfast Drink
r — n MAN who stopped drinking
-Q coffee and tea some time ago
Lt-M f, und that he missed very
■ 1 much his hot breakfast drink.
■*"" Then an idea occurred to
him Now, every morning he drinks
" r „ t full of hot unsweetened
Hawaiian pineapple juice,—not the

juice—and he usually puts a
--,11 slice of lemon in the teacup.
;: \s far as lam concerned," he
wnite , T have made a wonderful
discovery and enjoy this delicious
and invigorating drink.”
Pineapple juice has always been
popular with the public in iced
drinks, but this idea of hot pineapple
juice for breakfast is anew one, and
medical opinion endorses it.

"I am now writing my conclusions
relative to the value of the un
sweetened Hawaiian pineapple juice
placed through me at the Hahne
mann Hospital in San Francisco.
“Ninety percent of the patients in
general find it very palatable and
prefer it to all other fruit juices. It
is well borne in cases of chronic
gastric catarrh and torpidity of the
liver. It is especially indicated in a
patient having heavily coated tongue.
It seems to digest the coating and
increases the appetite as well as the
power of digestion.
“In post-operative work, especially
of the tonsils and abdominal surgery
it has been found refreshing and
large quantities can be taken with
out ill effects which usually folk';*
the use of other fluids. In cases
of pyorrhea of the mouth following
teeth extraction it is refreshing and
cleansing.”*
two tablespoons sugar, a few grains
of cinnamon and a few gratings
lemon rind, and add to the syrup
from the can of pineapple. Cook
five minutes.
This Contains Rice
To make the second, beat three
egg yolks well, then add one-half
cup boiled rice and three-fourths
cup milk. Sift together one and one
half cups flour, one and one-half tea
spoons baking powder and a few
grains of salt, and add. Drain the
contents of an 8-ounce can of
Hawaiian pineapple tidbits, and add.
Fold in three stiffly beaten egg
whites. Drop by spoonfuls into hot
deep fat, and fry golden brown.
Serve with maple syrup or a sauce
made by thickening the pineapple
syrup slightly with cornstarch or
flour. Makes twenty-four fritters.*
In substantiation of this state
ment as to safeness the supple
ment says elsewhere:
“An interesting sidelight on the
duration of canned foods was sup
plied some years ago when Cap
tain Ross, of H. M. S. Investiga
tor, discovered in Regent’s Inlet
the stores of the crew H. M. S.
Fury. The Fury had been wrecked
there in 1824. The stores, which
had been recovered eight years
after the wreck, were brought
home and taken to Liverpool. At
a lecture arranged by the Royal
Society of Arts in 1868, one of the
tins of meat was opened and its
contents were found to be in a
state of perfect preservation.”
This might not seem a modern
instance to an American editor,
but, in England, anything that
happened as late as 1868 is news!*

“I have found nothing in the
past 20 years that can take the

DANGER zone of snake
HAS BEEN DETERMINED.—
"The dunger zone about a rattle
snake 0:1 a warm day In the
open extends in all directions
for u distance equal to the length
of the snake." This statement
Is made by Joseph Dixon in Na
ture Muguzlne. With one ex
ception, says Dixon, "I have
not found a rattlesnake that
could strike more than half his
length unless colled and ready
to strike.” The writer describes
the exception referred to: “Up
on being routed out the snake
tried to escape Into the open,
but was headed off. He was a
Pacific rattlesnake and this was
on the floor of Kings lUver can
yon. A moment later, \vhon the
snake was not coiled, but crawl
ing along at a livelj gait, my
shadow happened to full on the
ground directly in front of the
now thoroughly angry reptile.
Without stopping to coll the
snake doubled quickly back and
struck so violently at my shadow
that he reached out for nearly
his entire length of slightly less
than 30 inches. Front where I
was standing I could see, as did
several others, that not more
than four inches remained on
the ground • iten it struck at my
shadow.”
How South Americans
Use Oxen in Packing
Oxen are used extensively for pack- '
Ing in Venezuela and Colombia. They ,
are slow but sure and pack more than
a heavy mule. An ox will navigate
with a burden something nenr 400
pounds, as against 250 for a pack
mule. They are a’so ridden In both
countries. In Ecuador they raft live
oxen, the process being as follows:
They take a long dugout and lash
poles across it and tie the horns of
four oxen to the end of each pole
until about 32 oxen ure in place; then
they catch the tide going down the
river and get an earty start. Men
stand in the canoe and prod the oxen
and with the current they do about
12 miles per hour, usually arriving at
the slaughter-house at Guayaquil in
the early afternoon, having done 80 to
100 miles.
They also bring them to the slaugh
ter-house by small steamers from the
coast ports. The way they are loaded
Is by slipping a noose around the
horns and pulling Mr. Ox up by the
neck and the way they are unloaded
is by making them jump from the
deck into the water and swim ashore.
This is done at all the small ports ol
South America and in the river ai
Guayaquil.—Edgar Young, in Adven
ture Magazine.
How Radio Thotos Come
Mr. C. Francis Jenkins, inventor ol
radio telephony, givete the following
explanation of the making and de
veloping of radio photographs: “At
the London end radio slgnnls are sent
by means of u photo-electric cell
which converts the light values of
the photograph into electric current
This modulated electric current is then
put on a radio carrier wave which Is
picked up in the United States. Thfl
incoming radio signals operate on an
ink pen which puts dots of different
sizes on a white piece of paper. The
grouping of these dots, and the size
of them, makes up the picture some
what similar to the half-tone dots ol
the illustrations in the newspaper,
which dots can easily be seen under
a reading glass.”
How Waves Are Measured
By means of a specially constructed
camera, the exact length and height of
ocean waves have at last been meas
ured.
Ordinary waves are from 6 to 12 feet
high. In a high sea they may rise to
27 feet, ot In a violent gale to 36 feet.
The length of the largest waves, from
crest to crest Is said to be 900 feet,
and It takes 20 seconds for one wave
to replace another.
The tidal wave that followed tha
Lisbon earthquake of 1775 war, GO feet
high, and n tidal wave off Peru once
lifted a ship clean over a church and
left it a mile Inland.

GEORGIA BOY IN
PRODIGY SCHOOL
John RaJcr Platt, Formerly of Co
lumbus, Ga., Has Been Selected as
One of America’s Ten Outstanding
Pupils fer a Special Class at North
western University, Where the Stu
dents' Progress as Geniuses Will
Be Observed by Educators and
Scientists.
(By Mac Hedrick, in Atlanta
Journal)
John Rader I’latt, barely 14, who
entered the fifth grade in Columbus,
Ga., when only f>, has been selected
as one of the six outstanding child
prodigies in the United States and
will <ntcr a special class at North
western University this fall.
John, whose brilliant young mind
has been a marvel’ to educators, is a
nephew of James M. Platt, instruc
tor in science and chemistry at
Boys’ High School, Atlanta. His
parents, Mr, and Mrs. Walter Platt,
now living in Tampa, Fla., are form
er residents of Columbus.
President Walter Dill Scott, of
Northwestern University, has dis
covered child prodigies to he ex
cellent students and has made an
extensive search throughout the na-
tion to find the ten brightest boys
and ten brightest girls, who are high
school graduates.
So far he has selected only the
six who rank highest, four boys and
two girls, but will continue his
search until the full number is ob
tained. He realizes that genius is
found in odd and unexpected places,
and no school in the entire country
will be too small for him to investi
gate.
John and the other students se
lected will be given scholarships at
Northwestern University, where they
will live and study together. Edu
cators and scientists will watch
carefully their progress in the ef
fort to understand why some chil
dren develop so much faster than
others.
In his" extensive survey of all high
schools Mr. Scott found no prodi
gies with a more outstanding re
cord than John. No record was so
brilliant as his, and yet none was
so balanced.
Often the child prodigy’s develop
ment in one direction is so rapid
that his progress along other lines
is outdistanced and he finds himself
handicapped rather than at an ad
vantage. John, however, is an ac
complished musician, playing in
three orchestras, has held the junior
high school oratorical championship
of the city and is well developed
physically for his age.
When John entered school his
only previous training had been a
few weeks in kindergarten, but his
mind was so active that he was
able to start in the third grade. He
completed it by February, and in
June, before he was 7, he was pro
moted to the fifth grade. Georgia
educators studied his record and
were unanimous in the verdict that
he was thoroughly capable of keep
ing up with children four years
older than himself.
Few would have believed on that
September day in 1924, when John,
an alert, healthy lad of 6, started to
school in Columbus, that in eight
years he would complete twelve
years of school work, with only one
term of summer school, and then
climax it all by being selected as
one of the six most brilliant child
prodigies in the nation.
There were two people, however,
who believed in him from the be
ginning with the faith that parents
alone know. His mother and fath
er recognized his almost uncanny
mental powers when he was hardly
old enough to walk.
Soon he learned that letters meant
words and words meant ideas. Elec
tric signs and big-lettered ads in
newspapers attracted his attention.
His memory was marvelous and he
seldom forgot a word after once
, hearing it.
A cut-up map of the United
States was given to him and after
being helped three times he put the
states together perfectly the fourth
time, showing astonishing powers of
observation and concentration. Soon
he knew all the states by sight and
the boundaries of North America.
During this time his physical de
velopment was not neglected. He
played out of doors much of the
while, but even then found time for
carrying on his studies. Often he
would exclaim that there was a
cloud shaped like Texas or perhaps
some other state.
A beautiful calendar was placed
by his bed. He asked many ques
tions about it, and in a short while
learned all the days of the week and
the months of the year. If any one
wanted to know what day of the
month it was, John had the correct
answer in a second.
A drawing campass became one
of his favorite playthings. He
liked to draw the face of a clock,
filling in the hours correctly with
Roman letters. Before he was she
could tell the time without difficul
ty.
Mrs. Platt said that she did not
spend more for his hetpiui play
things than most parents do for
the usual toys. She and her hus
band saw that everything ho play
ed with had some meaning, and
would contribute to the develop
ment of his receptive mind.
John’s father often took him to
his office and hi 3 fourth birthday
John typed a letter. His mother
often repeated the Twenty-third
Psalm and soon he learned to say
it with her. He learned some
Spanish, and began his musical
training before entering school. Of
ten he gave recitations in church.
Processor Daniels, Columbus su
perintendent of public instruction,
had the Simon-Binet intelligence
test, given to John by a visiting
teacher from New \ T ork when the
boy was only 6 years old, and his
mentality rated with that of a child
1014 years of age. His record was
IGO per cent.
Some thought that John would bo
unable to continue his amazing de
velopment, predicting that he would
reach a period where he would eith
er be unable to advance or would
go backward.
John fooled them again, as he
has a way of doing. Throughout
his school career he has maintained
a consistently high average. In
every class he has ranged among* the
first fourth and sometimes has set
new high mark records. He was
only 9 years old when he entered
Junior High School in Tampa. On
that occasion the principal explain
ed to his parents that the elementary
school was about sixteen blocks
down the street, and could not be
made to believe that this little fel
low was ready to enter Junior High
School. Other authorities were call
ed in, records were checked and it
was decided to give John a one
month tidal in the seventh grade.
They had a big shock coming to
them, for John led the entire class
of more than 300 pupils.
The an/iual junior high school
oratorical contest occurred in the
spring of his first year at the school.
It was considered something of a
joke when he won the champion
ship in an elimination contest par
ticipated in by more than 1,200
pupils.
It was interesting to watch him, a
rosy cheeked lad of 9, in short pants
and ankle length socks, sitting on
the platform with boys and girl
between the ages of 14 and 17.
The competition war. keen that year
and John was last to speak. H
walked out before 2,000 people,
gave them a winning smile and
sailed into his oration with the con
fidence of a veteran.
“Le‘t all true Americans have
faith in the idealistic and yet prac
tical theories of democratic govern
ment which are a priceless heritage
to us all,” he said. “These noble
principles founded on the blood of
our forefathers and preserved by-
Jefferson and other great leaders,
should be held sacred in the hearts
of Americans.” This was one of
the paragraphs of his speech which
was filled with jaw-breaking words
and lofty ideas.
The audience gave him undivided
attention from start to finish of hik
address and at its conclusion the ap
plause continued for more than
three minutes. The decision of the
judges awarding him the champion
ship was a mere formality.
In senior high school John con
tinued his record and in a state
wide geometry contest he set anew
mark by making a score of 100 per
cent. He is also considered one of
the best high school violinists in
the state.
All this time he was taking extra
school work and making high
grades. This year he needed only
half a credit to graduate, and for
the first time in his school career he
went to summer school to make
this credit. He will be valedictor
ian of the summer school class, hav
ing made a higher average for his
entire high school career than the
other fifty members of the class.
The Banks County Journal told
about it being believed that a well
over in that section was furnishing
coffee. A good many hearing of it
came to ese and learn about the
wonderful well. Every one who
sipped it agreed that the water had
a Rio Coffee taste to it. Wishing
to see the bottom of the well, one
fellow went down, and instead of
any coffee vein found a big Shep
herd dog puffed up like a baloon.
