ApIst ofLenu Meat and Water.

Can life and health be sustained in
definitely upon diet of lean meat and
water without any farlnaceous food at all?
Psychologists tell us it cannot; experience
seems to negative their assertion. It is
highly desirable that this question should
be cleared up and finally set at rest, both
from practical and from purely scien-
tifc point of view. A diet of lean meat is
now being advocated for several purposes in
practical medicine, and it is of the highest
importance that we should know for certain
for what period it should be carried on with
out injury to the patient. In this country
it is being used chiefly for the reduction of
obesity, but in New York several physicians
are making an extensive use of diet con-
sisting entirely of lean meat and water, not
only for that purpose, but also in the treat
ment of dyspepsia, phthisis, ectasia of the
stomach, and in the absorption of new
growths; in the latter case it being claimed
that by increasing the metabolism of the
body recently formed tumors can be ab-
sorbed. In order to procure these results
the use of diet consisting entirely of lean
meat and water is continued for period of
at least several months, and the advocates
of this new school claim that the benefit to
the general health of the patient is marked
and absolute. On a consideration of this
subject two conclusions inevitably present
themselves: Either the generally received
opinions on the subject of diet as contained
in works on physiology are unreliable and
should be revised, or that it is possible so to
alter the metabolic mechanism of the body
by hereditary influence as to enable the in
dividual to exist in defiance of all the Or
dinary physiological laws of nature.

Electrified Steam.

At the last meeting of the Physical So
ciety, of London. England, much interest
was created by some very beautiful expert
ments by Mr.. Shelford Bidwell, f. R. s.
In one of these experiments a powerful
electric light cast a shadow of steam jet
upon a screen, but the shadow was barely
visible, nor did the jet appear very brilliant
under the illumination. A needle point
was then held near the jet and electrified by
being connected with Wimshurst machine.
Instantly the shadow became conspicuous
and of a dark brown color, while the jet
itself became far more luminous and occa-
sionally colored. The effect of the electrif-
cation is apparently instantaneous. 1t is
probable that the explanation may be
closely connected with Lord Raleigh's we'll
known experiment of electrifying jet of
water, which then ceases to scatter and fall
in small drops, but instead draws itself to-
gether and falls in large, faltering drops.
As Lord Raleigh's experiments explain the
large drops associated with thunder storm,
SO Mr.. Bidwell's seem to throw some light
upon the cause of the extraordinary black
ness of the thunder clouds and the lurid
light so often seen In the sky before storm.

The seunre of Cities.

In paper read to the London Society of
Arts on "London Sewerage and Sewage" {"
Sir Robert Rawlinson stated that the entire
volume of the London sewage is now valued
at IS, $50, 900 per annum. Land is not cor
rupted by sewage irrigation, but is i'm
proved, as the solids out of 100 tons spread
over one acre of land would not give sur
face deposit of 1-100th of an inch in thick
ness. In the discussion which followed
the paper, DIR. Charles Drsydale said that
all European nations were looking to Eng
land for solution of the sewage question,
and many of them had sent engineers over
there to study what had been done. Paris
had now a very successful sewage farm of 1, :
500 acres which produced most magnificent
crops, and the effiuent was so pure that any
one could drink it, as he had done himself.
In Berlin, also where the authorities had
sent engineers to study English sewage
farming, they had now about II, 900 acres on
the north and south, and not particle of
sewage was now sent into the river. So far
as the disposal of sewage went, every pos
sible plan had bee tried, and it was well
known now, said DR.. Drysdale, that the only
possible way of purifying sewage was by
passing it through fitting soils.

Growing Demand for Electric Motors.

The uses of the electric motor are multi
plying daily, and one of the indications that
It's adaptabiIity is recognized by the public
is that machines for both constant potential
and constant current systems have been
manufactured during the past year at the
rate of upward of $50 per week, and their
rating will exceed 700 horsepower. In
spite of this great output of electrical ap-
paratus, every portion of it finds an imme-
diste sale, and nearly all the factories are
behind in their orders to such an extent that
it is nearly impossible to fill orders under 80
days. Motors have been introduced for all
conceivable purposes to which power can be
applied, and small industries run by electri-
cal power have started up in many places
where steam power could not have been util-
lied. The use of the storage battery is also
growing rapidly.

EN- herd was almost totally an

same Southern herd was almost totally an
initiated.
To dwell upon Mr.. Hornaday's collect
cana to any extent would be impossible in q
limited space. Suffice it that the portion OF
the book describing the habits and DISPOSE
tion of the buffalo is one of the most inter-
estlng chapters.
NOT AN INTELLIGENT BRUTE.
He places the buffalo very low indeed in
the standard of mental capacity; and makes
this stupidity the cause of his extermina-
tion. But if the monarch of the plains
lacked intellect he certainly did not want
for affection. The manner in which the
bull bufaloes protected the calves OF the
herd is glorious example of paternal in
stinct. An army surgeon related the fol-
lowing instance to Mr.. Hornadsy: "He was
in camp one evening when his attention was
arrested by the curious action of little knot
of six or eight buffaloes. Approaching sufi-
ciently near to see clearly, he discovered
that this little knot was made up OF bulls,
standing in close circle with heads out
ward, while in concentric circle at some
II or 10 PAGES distant sat at least dozen
large grey wolves excepting man, the most
dangerous enemy Of the buffalo), The doc
tor determined to watch the performance.

and still keeping in a compact mass, started
on tr6t for the main herd, some half mile
of. To his very great astonishment, the
doctor now saw that the central and con-
trolling figure of this mass was poor little
cali, so newly born as scarcely to be- able
to walk. After going 30 or 100 PAGES
the calf laid down, the bulls disposed
themselves in a circle as before, and the
wolves who had trotted along on each side
of their retrestiug supper, sat down and
licked their chops again, and though the
doctor did not see the finale, it being late
and the camp distant, he had no doubt that
the noble fathers did their whole duty to
their offspring, and carried it in safety to
the herd" The buffalo, if taken when
young, submits with surprising readiness to
the restraints of captivity. Mr.. Hornaday
declares buffalo calves make excellent pets.
The real destruction of the buffalo began
about 1920. Take the published accounts
of those killed by the Red river half breeds
onlv. From 1920 to 1895 some 118,950
buffaloes, worth 1894, $50, were shot. From
1S25-3O. over 146, $50 were killed, their value
being $751; 25O.
From 1S3O-1S35, ia, ,525 were killed, their

A GREAT ART UNION.
The American Fine Arts Society Organized,
Backed by Eminent Artists and
Wealthy PatrOns-A Great Ed.

Wealthy PatrOns-A Great Ed.
ucatIOual Advantage.
NEW YORK, January 4.-The organiza-
ton of the American Fine Arts Society has
practically been completed. Five of the
most vigorous art societies of this city,
namely the Society of American Artists,
Architectural League of Art Students
League, the Society of Painters in Pastel
and the New York Art Guild, have all
united in the plan and agreement. The en-
tire capital stock, $50, 900, has been raised,
and over $50 artists, sculptors and architects
are on the list of subscribers. The we'll
known list of life fellows includes
the names of 210 of the leading
citizens and art patrons of New York. In
addition to these resources the gift fund of
the enterprise already amounts to $50. 900.
Among the contributors are George Van
derbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, D. o. Mills,
G. T. Barney, Henry G. Marquand, John
D. Rockefeller, John D. Archbold and
Robert Goelet.
The plan of the society is to erect hand
some building adapted to the purposes of
art exhibitions and art education ON Forty
third street, running through to Forty
fourth street, adjoining the new building of
the New York Academy Of Medicine,
and in the immediate vicinity Nof the
new Century Club. The formation of
this powerful union is doubtless the
most important step yet taken in the estab-
lishment of true school of American art.
It will correspond with the Ecole des Beaux
Arts in Paris. It brings together no less
than 300 artists and architects of merit and
as many more ambitious students. The
union is destined to become the art power
Of the country.
The Office of the society is at At West
Forty-second street. The officers are: Presi-
dent, Howard Russell Butler; Vice Presi-
dent, Frederick Crowinchild; Secretary, h.
J. Hadenbergh, and Treasurer, William
Bailey FaXon.

Some interesting facts concerning pave
safety for traffic have recently been
made by the Horse Accident Proven
ton Society of London, England. After
30 days' observation it was proved be-
yond doubt that before meeting with an ac-
cident horse would travel far greater dis
tance on wood than he could either on
asphalt or on stone. 1t was found that when
the surface of the pavement was dry horse
before meeting with an accident would travel
GAG miles on wood, 223 on asphalt and 7S on
granite. The damp weather figures were 125
miles for asphalt, 168 for granite and 1913 for
wood. When the weather was thoroughly
wet a horse would travel on asphalt 1872
miles before meeting with an accident, 432
on wood and 537 on granite.
The statistics collated appear to show that:
1. Asphalt was most slippery when merely
damp, and safest when perfectly dry, and
that horse might be expected to travel on
the asphalt without an accident nearly twice
the distance when the pavement was dry
that it could do when damp. 2. That gran
ite was most slippery when dry and safest
when wet; that horse might be expected to
travel on granite without accident nearly
seven times the distance when the pavement
was wet that it would when the pavement
was dry, and that the granite was about
twice as safe when merely damp as when
dry. 8. That wood was most slippery when
damp and safest when dry; that horse
might be expected travel on the wood more
than three timesThe distance when the pave
ment was dry than when damp, and that the
wood was more than twice as safe when wet
as when damp. 1t will thus be seen that
only under a single condition, and that the
least persistent, is granite safer than wood
and asphalt, and that wood is safer than
asphalt under all circumstances. As in
this country under normal conditions dry
weather greatly preponderates, 1t would ap-
pear that granite is tar behind asphalt as a
preventive to slipperiness. While the fore
going figures are most instructive, their
value as pointers in the matter of the adop-
tion OF any particular class OF pavement in
this country, is materially lessened by the
fact that the number of horses in our streets
will, in all probability, rapidly decrease
with the general adoption of electricity as
motive power, not only for street cars, but
for all kinds of vehicles

hunters, over 534, 900 'buffaioes were slain.
What must have been the number slaught-
cred by all the hunters, who swarmed in the
Western plains? From 1876 to 1884, Messrs.
Boskowitz, Of New York, purchased GAG, ,175
buffalo hides, at cost of 1924, 200. From
1SS0-18S4, Mr.. Joseph Veeman, of New
York, purchased Ill, 200 hides. Mr.. Wee
mans figures show the terrible decrease
which has come to pass in the buffalo trade.
In 1882 he purchased $4,000 hides; in 1888
only 5000 were bought; In 1884 the amount
were as low as 1000, and in 1886 Mr.. Wee
man declares "the collection of robes
amounted to little or nothing"
Interesting particulars are given by Mr..
Hornoday with reference to the buffaloes in
their new character of domestic cattle. Our
author emphasizes the fact that breed Of
cattle is needed for the wilds of the West
and North which will be able to Withstand
the rigorous cold and other hardships of
those regions This breed, he says, can be
produced by crossing the buffalo with the
domestic cattle. Says the Superintendent:
