4 faculty of social scienc- has, it is
stated, been instituted at the university of
Brussels, and Prof Barger, "a Belgian
authority in chemistry, has given course
of lectures on aImentary chemistry. In
She fIst of them he came TO the academic
conclusion that it was possible TO determine
with precision the quantity of nutritlve
elements indispensable for the repara'lon
of the power of workingman, and con
seuuentlv the amount of money necessary
for purchasing this quantity, and that,
therefore. when the other primary wants
of a workiugum We're determined IN the
same way, the minimum of salary could be
fixed with scientific accuracy Questions
of taste, digeStiblity, and prejudice are,
however, apt TO be ignored IN calculations
of this kind: so that. although of value as
basis of information they are far from
having the practical use which their au-
thors ascribe to them. The knowledge of
the housewife and of the cook. aud a
familiar acquaintance with the habits and
surrounding, and tastes of the laborlug
classes, are necessary to give reality TO such
calculations An excellent example of
what may he done in this way is furnished
i'm the able and interesting chapters on the
subject IN the popular little hand book Of
domestic economy largely used in boarding
schools, entitled The Making of the
Home written by Mrs Barnett OF st.
Jude's Whitechapel. The same subject
is treated with great technical knowledge
and power of sympatheti, feeling for the
poor in her chapter on "Our National
Defenses, in the Joint essays by herself
and the Rev. S. A. Barnett, i'm the we'll
| known collection Of essays entitled 'Prac-
ticabIe Socialism. The subject is one IN
which medical men, skilled as they are IN
the physiology Of food and accustomed to
deal with the poor both in family life and
in public institutions, might give great
aid. That which our working classes
greatly need is instruction in the art OF
maising, or slowly stewing at low heat,

the exhaustion Of the store will be accom-

the probability OF discovering strata con

which the search has been carried, We
must remember that the deeper the deposit,
the more likely it is that the materials
have undergone great changes in their

likely to expei the gaseous material troE
