Bread From Wood.

Science has already enabled man to
extract fiery beverages and many other
things of more or less value from wood,
and it is now proposed to go a step
further and produce bread from wood.
In an address recently delivered in Heidel-
berg, Germany, by no less eminent an
author than Victor Meyer, it is announced
''that we may reasonably hope that chem
istry will teach us to make the fibre 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 fibre of wood consists essentially
of cellulin. Can this be made ntostarchi
Starch has essentially the same percent
age composition, but it differs very much
in its properties, and the nature of its
molecule is probably much more com
pick. Cellulin is of little or no dietetic
value, and it is not altered, like starch,
in boiling water. 1t really gives glucose
when treated with strong sulphuric acid,
as is easily shown when cotton wool,
which is practically pure cellulin, is
merely immersed in it. Starch gives the
same product when boiled with weak
acid. The author further quotes the re-
searches of Hellriegel, which go to show
beyond dispute that certain plants trans
form atmospheric nitrogen into albumen,
and that this process can be improved by
suitable treatment. The production,
therefore, of starch from cellulin, to-
gether with the enforced increase of
albumen in plants would, he adds. in
reality signify the abolition Of the bread
question. Milling Record

The Tongue.

Taste is not equally distributed over
the whole surface Of the tongue. There
are three distinct regions or tracks, each
of which has to perform its own special
office or function The tip of the tongue
is concerned mainly with pungent and
acid tastes; the middle portion Is sensi-
tive chiefly to sweets or bitters, while the
back or lower portion confines itself en-
tirely to the favors of roast meats, but
ter, oils and rich and fatty substances.
There are very good reasons for this sub
division of faculties in the tongue, the
objects being, as it were, to make each
piece of food undergo three separate ex-
aminations, which must be successfully
passed before it is admitted into full par
ticipation in the human economy. The
first examination gets ria of substances
which would be actively and Immediately
destructive to the very tissues of the
mouth and body; the second discriminates
between poisonous and chemically harm
less food tuffs, and the third merely de-
cides the minor question whether the
particular food is likely to prove then
aud there wholesome or indlgestibe to
the particular person. The sense of
taste proceeds, in fact, upon the principle
of gradual selection and elimination; it
refuses first what is positively destruc-
tive, next, what is more remotely dele
FERROUS, and, finally, what is only unde-
sirable or over luscious
