SCIENTIFIC.

Comparative Value Of Foods.-In re-
cent, lecture on the chemistry OF food,
by Professor Church, some suggestive
points of dietetIcs were well brought
out. OF all the cereals, says Mr.. Church,
wheat yields the best bread. This is
believed to be due principally 10 the
character of the heterogeneous matter or
wheat. The main constituent is a
fibrlre, and it can be readily obtained
for examination by making little flour
into dough with water, and then wash
ing the starch out BIZ means of stream
of water. There Is then left grayish-
yellow, tough, elastic mass, which Is
gluten. Speaking of peas, beans, and
various kinds of pulse, it was pointed
out how much more nearly the differ
ent kinds agree in composition than the
cereals do. The great draw back 10 the
use of various kinds of pulse is that
they are so different to digest. They
are an excellent theoretical food, ac-
cording TO analysis, but they are Sc
we're tax on digestion. OF all the beans
none presents better typical food than
the Soy bean. Lentlis have been much
spoken of lately as 4 good food. and, +,
they undoubtedly approach to q good
typical food, but they are bitter, astrIn-
gent, and not easy OF digestion. 1t has
now come TO be pretty well recognized
that the food of man doing hard work
should have fiesh-foTmers TO heat-glyers
in proportion of l to 4 y and that the
food of child should have TO Z. Bread
gives to ~ where the keat-givers are
more even than child wants, so it is
not good heat by itself. Pslse gives
taking an average) TO "a. which is
far to small. In these calculations
heat-givers are recksned as starch.
Potatoes give l to l6;secording to the
latest analyses the old l to being evil
IDENTIFY an error. Onion is l TO 4, an
excellent proportion, though onions
are not much in favor as food. In looks
ing at The relative values Of flesh
formers and heat-givers III foods, the
actual amount of water must not be
forgotten.

Mr.. Wilson Fldgs explains why certain
birds, like chick2dees and robins, never
for age in compact fiOcks, as do the spar
rows and ether grain-eating birds. Their
food consists OF insects, aud hence they
are compelled TO scatter. Their natu-
raj gregarlousness, however, causes
them TO sound note every now and
then, in older to keep within hearing.
Woodpeckers do not call to each other
while feeding, because their hammeIng
is sufficient. Mr. Flagg notices sim
gular fact in the association together,
yet not in the same troop, of the downy
woodpeckers and the chickadee. There
seems to BE- sort Of affinity, he says,
between the small woodpeckers, the
creepers and the chickadse. They do
not join company, but keep within hear
ing of one another from sociable feel
ing. When birds are grain-eaters, they
go in large. close floeks, like the red
winged blackbirds, because their food
is abundant

Smokers will be startled TO learn that
false amber can be produced go like
the real that tho most experienced eyes
may be deceived. The genuine article
is simply fossil resin, and the imitators
starting from that point have adopted
as the basis of their falsifications fresh
resins, which they treat in such man
ner as TO give their products all the ap-
pearance and most of the qualities OF
the true article. The most esteemed
specimens of the latter are produced
on the coasts of the Baltic aud come
from submerged forests OF pine, very
similar 10 those now in being, which
are in the state of Ignite, that is 10 say,
between the condition of coal and that
of peat. The amber accompanying
this Ignite is generally found in
rounded masses, the form ordinarily
assumed by ooZing gums. The sub
stance principally used in the imitation
article cOlOphOny Is resin produced
by the decomposition of Iurpentine),
but many other ingredients are made
use OF to give il the requisite qualities.
So perfect is the imitation that the falls.
amber has the electrical properties Of
the true, and some ingenious producers
have even managed to induce into the
substance foreign bodies, insects, etc,
TO render the resemblance more striking,
and enhance the value accordingly.
Notwithstanding the accuracy of the
imitation, means exist of readily detect
ing the false from the true. Genuine
amber requires & heat Of from 2S5 deg.
to 29U deg. Centig. (5I5 deg. to 552 deg.
Ezhrl to melt it. while the spurious
substance becomes liqnid at much
lower temperature. Moreover, while
the real arlicle is only slightly attached
after very long time by ether and al
cohOl, the imitation rapidly loses its
polish in contract with these liquids,
and soon becomes soft. With nuner-
GUS small pieces OF true amber, lump
of much greater value can be formed.
All that has to be done is to moisten the
surfaces TO be united with caustic pot
ash, and press them together while
warm, when they produce 4 transpar-
ent and homogeneous mass.

SLAUGHTERING Fowls FOR MARKET.
Death by strangulatioa always pre-
sents bad appearance, because the
blood is instantaseously arrested, and,
having no eut.es to flow OF In. it coagu-
lates in the veins, presenting a swollen,
dark appearance, This may take place
to some considerable extent, when
death is produced in any sudden man
ner; therefore, the best way TO kill
fowls Tor market is to cut OFF the main
arteries by putting small knife blade
into the mouth or upper portion of the
throat, and thus bleed them freely,
holding them quietly until the strug-
giles cease.
