These Are DIR, Pohlman's Views,

"When you boil eggs, don't boil them" Sc
says DIR. Pohlman, the Buffalo chemist. In
n recent lecture he said, to be digestible, eggs
shouldn't reach higher temperature than
loo degs., but they should be placed in water
from l40 TO $50 degs., and allowed to cook on
the back of the stove. Then the various
methods of cooking meats were taken up and
explanations given for putting soup meat
into cold water, putting roastS into hot
oven, and broiling steak directly over a hot
fire, which are now commonly accepted as
the proper methods of preparing the differ
ent meats. DR.. POhlman said the object Of
preparing food was not to preserve the nutTi-
ment so much as it was to prepare it for easy
digestion. "A pound of hard wood contains
precisely as much nutriment as pound of
-four, but would rather be excused from
eating it," said he. A word was said against
mothers who torture infants by their contin-
ual cry of ''eat slowly" ''chew it fine"
The lecturer said he believed in the natural
processes of mastication, and that when a
child felt like swallowing his food in chunks
he ought to be allowed to do so. This PAM
pering to old ideas, the fallacy of which has
long been shown, is nonsense" said the doc
tor when we think that the stomach is the
only organ in the body over which man has
control, and when we think that the stomach,
nine cases out of ten, is the root of all the
modern diseases, it doesn't speak very high
for the intelligence of man. Give people
chunks if they want chunks, salt if they want
salt, vinegar if they want vinegar, they won't
want what they don't need" DR.. Pohhnan
said that life long experience with boarding
house cooks had led him to infer that those
individuals know little about the chemistry OF
cooking.-Herald of Health.

ROCKS or The EARTH.
How They Are FormeG-Lime All Made
by Animals.


Granite is the lowe.V rex in the earth's
crust 1t is the bed rock of the world 1t
shows no evidence of animal or vegetable life
1t is from two to ten times as thick as the
united thickncsses OF all the other rocks. 1t
is the parent rock from which all the other
rocks have been either directly or indirectly
derived.
1t is true that it does not ctmtain lime, while
limestOnes do contain that substance, but It
furnishes the foundation for vegetable
growth. Vegetable growth furnishes the
foundation for animal growth, and animal
growth brings lime into existence. 1t Is
claimed by scientists that all the lime in the
world has, at some time. been a portion of
some animal. The same atom of lime has
some time, no doubt, been portion of many
different animals, and possibly of human be-
mgs also.
The forces of nature are gradually level
ing down the mountains and hills and are as
gradually and surely filling up the valleys
and Glow places" of the earth.
Chemical changes are constantly going on
in the rocks. The sudden contact of sub
stances in the interior of the earth that have
great affinity or repulsiOn for one another is
sometimes sufficient to cause volcanoes and
earthquakes. As a rule, however, chemical
changes are wrought silently and almost i'm
perceptibly.
The oxygen from water is daily and hourly
combining with iron and other substances in
the earth, and forming oxides that appear as
ochres mineral paints cOored Clays, etc.
Attention is called to the agency of ami
mails. Passively, as observed above. all ami
mals increase the amount of lime and liEle-
stone material 10y digestion, assimilation, ex-
erection and death.
Some animals bring about rock changes as
active agents. All burrowing animals bring
materials from beneath the surface that
change on exposure to the atmosphere and
sunlight.
Darwin decided, after years of observation.
that earthwOrms constitute one of the princi-
pal agencies in the disintegratiOn of hard
rock and the formation of soils and lighter
cIays. If angle or fish" worms were all de
stroyed it would indeed be a great calami,"
1t is probable that they do more to preserve
the fertility of the soil than does any other
agency.
Coral reefs afford beautiful sample of the
rock changes brought about by animals.
An example of the combined agency of
wind, tides, waves, plants and animals is
found in floating islands. First, immense
drifts of seaweeds are formed by the motion
of the water. On these drifts great colonies
of sea birds make their nests from year to
year. The egg shells and other excrements
of the birds, together with their remains when
they die, in time form soil in which plants
can grow.
Some of these islands become heavy enough
to settle to the bottom in shallow water, and
form permanent land adapted for the home

A Mosaic

William Kelly, the artist, who lives at
Lenox, Mass, worked for eleven years on a
piece of mosaic wood, which, when finished,
presented the appearance Of fine oil paint
ing. This wonderful production the artist
has entitled "Sunset," and at the distance of
six or eight feet it would be taken for an oil
representation of that phenomenon. 1t is
composed of 100000 pieces of wood or about
1920 to the square inch. The effect Of color
is produced by the variety of colors in the
different woods, there being 1913 kinds of
wood used in the construction.-St. Louis Re

puplic opinion is rapidly ripening into
a conviction that the first great practical
step in the march OF progress is found in
the utilization Of the raw material with
which the country abound in the manu-
tacture of some article for which there is
a demand. The trouble heretofore has
been that there has been too much talk,
too much generalization and too little
practical work.
The LEADER has heretofore expressed
its lack of confidence in the practibility of
the scheme for the establishment of a
stove foundry here. We nave at u
doors the ore which manufactured into
pig iron must necessarily be imported as
matters now stand for use in the stove
foundry. The proposition therefore saw
orcd very much Of the awkward idea OF
placing the cart before the horse. If a
mandatory is to be established here and
more particularly If the people here are
to subsidize it, everybody is beginning to
believe that it should utilize one or more
Of the products of the country and thus
at the anne time advertise and develop it.
The interest now b being manifested in
this subject is intense. The citizens indi
yidually are discussing it, the board of
trade is giving it much serious attention
and the special committee which now has
the subject in charge is doing effective
work which annot fail OF accomplishing
immediate good result. Everything is
progressing satisfactorily IN the matter of
establishing a smelter.
This object once accomplished the ter
ritory will be on the right road to attain
population and prosperity.

She Took The Smoking Car.

BRmGEPoRT, Conn May lO.-New
York World: A c~ompany..of commercial
men who were in the smoker of the $50
Naugatuck train last evening stopped in
the middle of a general laugh oven n good
story when the door of the car opened.
They sank into a gallant and respectful
silence and turned their eyes in that direc
ton. The new conner was n tailor made
blonde, with big, blue, Dabyish eyes and
a quiet air of self possession which might
have passed for a childish innocence of
drummcrs and bad cigars. The eyes of
the whole car were upon her. but she did
not make a hasty exit, as was expected.
She walked TO an unOccupied seat, appar-
entity oblivious of the attention she at,
tractcd or the rich smoke which rolled
lazily aside as she walked. There we're
one or two good, sturdy old pipes in oper-
alton at the time.
Reaching the scat she sat down, and
quietly arranging her dress made herself
comfortable Tor what looked like a stay
for some time. There wa a perplexcd
silence among the men. Finally an old
Nutmeggcr, who sat directly behind her,
after stroking his gray whiskcrs for a mo-
ment, salt:
Why, my dear girl, this is the smok-
ing car.
A smile as bright as the sunshine of
her golden bang puncturcd n dimple on
either side OF the fair strangers mouth,
as she answered: Oil thank you
kindly"
Then the old man was dumb, and the
young woman coolly took a package of
cigarettes from her pocket. lit one, and
began to smoke with apparently much
enjoyment. She handled her cigarette
admirably, and her pretty mouth a-pucker
in the operation Of emitting smoke made
a picture which kept the drummers in a
mute rapture. When the water boy came
through she requested him to bring her
bundles from the coach in the rear. She
then quietly enjoy ed her smoke until the
train drew up at Derby, when she arose
to leave. One of the drummers, who at
last had recovered his nerve, said, loud
enough to be heard, "Oh, | wish | was a
ciRarettcP' Perhaps she did not hear
him. Her countenanco lost none of its
innocent calm. and she lett the train.
