BREAD FROM WOOD.
The Remarkable Possibility for Which
Science IL Striving.

| Tie Remarkable Possibility for Which
Science IL Striving.
Science has already enabled man to
extract fiery beverages and many other
things OF more or less value from wood.
and it is proposed to go step further
and produce bread from wood. In an
address recently delivered at IIeidel-
berg, Germany, by no less eminent an
author than Victor Meyer. it il an
nounced that we may rea' onably hopo
that chemistry will teach us to make the
fiber OF wood the source of human food"
What an enormous stock OF food, then,
would be found If this becomes possible
In the wood OF our forests, or even in
grass and straw.
The fiber of the wood consists essen
TALLY OF cellulin. Can this bc made
into starch? Starch has essentially tho
same percentage composition, but 1t
varies very much in its properties and
the nature OF it's moleculc is probably
much more complex. Cellnlin is OF
little or no dietic valie. and is not al
tered like starch in boiling water. 1t
really gives glucose when treated with
strong sulphurlc acid, as Is essentially
shown when cotton wool, which is prac-
tically pure cellulin, is merely immersed
in it. Starch gives the same product
when soiled with weak acid.
The author further quotes the re-
searches OF IIellriegel, which 60 to
show beyond dispute that certain plants
transform atmospheric nitrogen into al
bumen, AMI that this process can be i'm
proved by suitable treatment Thep
duction, therefore, OF starch from cellu-
lin, together with the enforced increase
OF alhumon in plants, would. he adds, in
reality signify the abolition Of tho
bread questit n. Milling Record.

Beef Tea and LiebIr'. Extract.

DR.. j. ii. Kellogg being asked as to
tho nutritive value OF Liebig's extract
OF beef, replied as follows: Liebig's ox-
tract OF beef may be used as peptogen
or relish, but II must be remembe
that there is NO food in it. at must be
classed with toa, coffee and alcohol and
must not be regarded as true food sub
stance" are DR.. Liebig's own words in
regard to it when first sent out. Yet a
great many people are being starved to
death upon it. Tho same is true OF beef
tea in little less degree. There is u
small amount Of nourishment In beef
tea Years ago, DR.. Austin Flint called at
tention to the fact that the chemical
analysis OF beef tea was almost identical
with that OF the excrement from the kid
neys. DIR. Claude Bernard made an inter
csting experiment to test the possible
nourishing properties OF beef tea lie
fecd two dogs upon beef tea and
two upon water and those fcd upon
water lived tho longest 1t would be 20

HOW THE PRINCE DIED.
Eugenlc's Son Was shot In the Back By
Zulu sayages.


have recently had very interesting
interview with an English gentleman
who was present in Zululand at the
time of the death of the Prince I'm
perial, and who knew the young gentle
man well, besides being personally ac-
quainted with all tho details of tho
catastrophe. lie was not much impress.
ed by the character and manners OF tho
Inflated Prince himself. describing him
to me as very full-nedgod specimen of
the most obnoxious type of a fast young
Partisan society man. Besides which,
he was possessed with an overwhelming
idea of his own Importance, and insisted
always on taking the command of every
expedition in which he was included.
The fatal fray in which the unfor-
tunate youth lost his life owed its whole
success for the Zulus to the fact OF tho
Princes party being taken by surprise.
Everybody ran away on the sudden at
tack Of the savages, and 1t was owing to
a broken girth that the Prince failed to
make his escape with the others There
were only five Zulus concerned in the
attack, and they all belonged to one
family-a father, his three sons and his
son-in-law. They stripped the body of
their victim, leaving nothing behind
but gold locket suspended around his
neck, and which tho Zulus thought con-
tanned a charm.
My informant told me that, for him,
the most trying part of the whole busi'
ness was the interview which the En-
press Eugenie insisted upon having
with him after he returned from Eng
land. She asked the most minute ques-
tions about the Princes death, being es-
pecially anxious to know IL the fatal
wounds were not dealt him in front.
But, unfortunately, they wcrc all in his
back. Then she wanted to be told that
he had died fighting for England, and
the Englishman was compelled to assure
her that such was not the case. ''But,
at least, Mr.. X, you can say 1t was"
was the unhappy mothers suggestion.
1t did not occur to her, poor lady that
an English gentleman has natural OBJ
lection to telling lies on any subject
whatever Paris Letter.

back of the great arena were discovered
one evening two camels standing, their
heads close together shivering with
fear and occasionally uttering short

An Arab came forward out OF tho dark

and told tho sad story OF the terrible ac-
eident to his pct lie walked to tho
middle OF the yard and showed deep

turned completely over, and had broken
its Leg, Then ho led the way to where
the unfortunate creature stood on three
legs uttering piercing and agonizing
moans and holding up the broken limb,
which danglel helplessly below the
knee joint
The camel, after some difficulty for
the animal was rendered most vicious
from pain. AMI continually snapped at
any one who touched twas indaccd
10 lie down upon its side 1t was found
that the left toreley was broken in two
places just below the knee. and that all
the surgical skill in the world would DO
futile TO save the camel Still the Arab
prayed with fearful eyes and broken
voice for some thing to give his net re-
lief. Hut a surgeon arrived, and in u
very short time had given his dictum
that the only relief possible was death.
When the news was conveyed to the
Arabs one buried his face in the thick
hair about the camcl's shoulder and
moaned oot his last good-byes to the
animal, while the other. with his arm
around the poor beasts neck, spoke
soothingly to 1t, In his native language.
as he might have done to child. The
scene was sad and grim in darkness
broken only by the glimmering lamp
lights, which occasionally showed the
other two camels huddled together In q
corner, shivering and moaning as
though they understood the tragedy
going on close by, their means accentu-
uated by the roars Of the dying beast
short distance away.
Presently one Of the Arabs arose and
brought from the living quarters one OF
those terrible, sharp, darger-like swords
which his countrymcn know SO vr,l how
to use. Then, kneeling o,Or the bc-
loved animal, he and his friend seemed
to utter short prayer. Next the sword
CLEANED through the darkness, and was
drawn with deadly swiftness across the
throat OF tho suffering boast The clos
ing scene may be conceived.
When in the dcsor. camel breaks Its
leg-not an uncommon thing--it is al
ways killed at once, but the Arabs had
heard so much as to the skill OF English
