MIX for Youn and Old.

Milk is popularity considered q perfect
food. This, says the Lioe-Stock Journal.
at first sight appears to be indisputable,
since the young live and thrive on it ex-
clusively. But il we look into the mat.
ter little we shall see that while it Is .
perfect food for the young and growing
it does not follow that it is a perfect food
for sdults who have growth. In GER
tain sense it may be considered too per
feet for the adult. 1t contains too much
mineral matter, for one thing, to be suit
ed to the adult as an exclusive food. His
bones are already formed, and therefore
he needs only just enough of the mineral
elements to restore waste Of bone. But
the young have their bones to make, and
this excess of mineral matter is lust what
isneeded for the purpose. Then milk is
highly nitrogenous, containing an abund-
ance Of material for constructing muscu.
lar and other tissue. This makes it act
on the kidneys Of the adult too strongly,
taxing them to throw off the excess OF
nitrogen, only just enough to restore
waste being required, while this nitro
geneous material in abundance is Just
what children and the young Of animals
need, as they are building the whole sys.
tenn and must have these nitrogenous
elements out of which to build it. Milk
is, therefore, perfect food in young
animals and children, as it contains in
the right proportions all the elements
needed to promote their growth and de
velopment. But for old people milk is
far from perfect food, containing as it
does both the mineral and nitrogenous
elements in excess. For adults, who are
undergoing considerable exercise, and
therefore requiring to replace a large
amount Of waste tissue, milk is better
adapted than for the aged. Still for
adults who may use up the nitrogenous
portion through physical exercise there
is an excess Of bone making material, as
the waste Of bone is but slight compared
with both the waste and growth of bone
in the young. To sum up, then, milk is
a perfect food for the growing young, but
needs to be supplemented with other
more carbonaceous and less mineral foods
for the adult, and is quite lily adapted
to people Of sedentary habits or much ad-
vanced in age, as the excess Of nitrogen,
more than the large per cent. of water
which it contains, oyertaxes the kidneys.
The aged should, therefore, take milk
sparingly, which is the exact reverse of
what the young should do.

A Communistic Oroan

The Belgian Le Peapze is one of the
most astonishing journalistic productions
of modern times It is the organ of the
Brussels Socialists, and is managed on
purely Communistic principles. The cdi-
tor, the manager and the reporters who
constitute the staff Of the little journal
receive exactly the same pay as the
compositors. All persons concerned,
whether workmen or journalists, are paid
at the rate Of $l.03 per day. The paper
is sold for the fabulously low sum Of z
centimes, five copies for two cents. AT
first the circulation did not exceed 10. .
600, and this occasionsd loss; butsince
the riots the sale has risen to 10000
copies, and this means daily net profit
Of S.. The repartition Of the profits is
equally Characteristic. Half is put aside
to form a reserve fund, a quarter is to be
spect in socialistic propaganda and only
the remaining quarter is added to capi-
tai. With this the capital advanced is to
be reimbursed. and this small sum is also
to supply the interest; but, according to
the rules Of the association. such interest
shall never exceed 3 per cent.

THE SUMMERS GALL.


From the lakes pebbly shore with its soft
ened roar,
From the depths Of the woods and shadowy
wales,
From the rivers glad breast as it speeds 70
its rest,
From the fields and the brooks and the
quiet dales,
Comes the joyous summer voice,
Bids us follow and rejoice;
And the hills take up the sound,
And the echoes toss it round.
''In the smile of my sky the broad fieldsIlie,
In the deep cool dells my fern leaves wave,
From the tree tops tall my song birds call
And my brooklets flow with ripping stava
Leave your roots and curves and signs.
Leave your books with learning fraught;
/ am older than their lines,
am wiser than their thought.
And my pine trees shall sing as they sleepily
swing,
And my clouds shall paint your changing
skies
With the flush of the dawn, and the fleece of
the noon,
And the sunsets gold and crimson dies.
And for you my waves shall call,
And my fowerets lift their eyes,
And my fcckered shadows fall.
And my glad bird chorus rise."

Professor Lesley, of the Pennsylvania
Geological. Survey, estimates the amount
of coal in the Pittsburg region at 3d.,
600, 900, 600 tons. About II, 900, 900 tons
are now taken annually from its bed, Of
which two-thirds are bituminous coal
and one-third anthracite. Professor
Lesley believes that the oil and gas sup
ply will practically cease ten or twenty
years hence. To which the gas journal
of Light Heat and POaoer says: '-Let it
cease. If the gas supply of nature holds
out at a fair rate for ten years there will
be dozen different methods of making
as good gas just about as cheap on the
spot as the natural gas can be piped for,
and if preferable to pipe the new gases
from place to place the cost will not be
much. A sudden stoppage of the natural
gas supply will uot Danish the general
use of fuel gas.n

POPULAR SCIENCE.

Orthochromatic photography is the
latest development il the Photographic
art. It aims to give black and white
rendering Of different colors their true
tone value.
In Germany there are now eight schools
Of forestry where training Of five years
is necessary for students seeking govern
ment positions. France supports single
school at Nancy.
Scientists are advancing the theory
that the art Of making artificial Stone
for structural purposes was known to the
ancients. They also state that the pyra
mids were built out of artificial blocks
manufactured from the surroundings
Physicists find two kinds Of progress
in space-that Of matter and that Of
form. A bullet discharged from a gun
represents the former, while the ever
widening circles which follow the plunge
of stone into pool of water illustrate
the latter.
A recent photograph Of the Pleiades
shows 1921 stars, while carefully drawn
chart, prepared with about the same in-
strumental power, gives only 625. Many
small objects seen in the photograph do
not appear in direct-eye observations.
The importance of the accurate photo
graphic method Of star-mapping IS indi-
Gated by the fact that the hand-drawn
chart gives ten stars which have no ex-
istence.
The ice Of Arctic regions, according to
Major Greeley, does not usually form to
greater thickness than FIVE feet, but in
Bafin's Bay, the Greenland Sea and
parts of the Arctic Ocean, thickermasses
are produced by the jamming together
Of foes, which are thus piled up and dbe-
come frozen together. The ice of the
Polar Sea is Of almost inconceivsble
roughness, and it is doubted whether
any explorer has ever seen 300 square
yards Of it that is level.
1t has long been known that some Of
the mountains Of New Guinea are very
high, but the elevations assigned to the
loftiest have varied greatly. There must
be satisfactory evidence, however, that
they attain an altitude of2O, 900 feet, nor
in recent address BY Baron Won MueI-
Ter, as President of the Victorian branch
Of the Geographical Society of Australia,
he refers to the Finistere Range in New
Guinea as being over 10000 feet in
height, and speaks Of the island as one
of the few countries in the world where
the bases of mountains of the first mag
nitude are washed BY oceanic waves.
The oil discovered in theregion Of the
Red Sea. in Egypt, was struck b dis-
tance of only 1856 feet from the surface,
and but 400 feet from the sea. The
petroleum is of dark greenish color ana
hmpid. 1t is mixed with salt water aud
discharges carbonic gas. BY allowing
the fluid to rest for few hours the salt
settles and can be removed. Analy-
sis of the crude oil shows that it contains
from twenty two to twenty-five per cent.
OF pure oil. The country around the
wells is wholly uninhabited, and nearly
uninhabitable from the absence of drink
ing water and vegetation All provi-
sions must be brought from Suez- The
climate is salubrious, however, and the
frequent northwest winds render the
bet less insufferable.

A statistical expert calculates that if
1000, 900 babies started together in the
race of life, 15o, 1000 would drop out in
the first year, 5s, 900 in the second and
2s,Of3 in the third year. At the end
of forty-five years about half of them
would stiIl be ii the race. Sixty years
would see $4,000 gray heads still at it.
At the end Of eighty years there would be
81, 900 remaining on the track; fifteen
years later the number would be reduced
to 22S, and the winner would quit the
track forever at the age Of 108.

Manufacturers within easy reach Of
Niagara Falls expect to use that water
fall soon. A company has been incor-
porated with capital of $1,000, 900 to
develop this scheme A great pipe or
shaft is to be cut through the rock close
by and parallel with the Niagara River,
100 feet deep, and running half mile
or more back from the falls. It is said a
wheel as big as mans hat will supply
200-horse power.

AS I looked back upon the house, with
all its elegance, it seemed to me to have
a haunted air, as though the ghost Of
the poor girl still lowered about it. "God
only knows how many fearful secrets
such splendid homes may at times shut
in, said to myself, and turned my
back upon it gladly.
I have never seen the poor old lady
since that hour; probably Margaret has
kept too close watch upon her.
