Science in Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting Of the Ameri-
can Chemical Society, held in Washington.
b. c., the question of the value OF carbonate Of
ammonia as leavening agent in bread or as
used in baking powders came up for discus
sion. i'll which Prof. Barker of the University
OF Pennsylvania, and presiden. of the society;
DIR. Richardson, late Of the United Estates De-
partment Of Agriculture in Washington: DR..
VIM. McMurtrie, late professor of chemistry in
the University OF Illinois; DR.. E. II. BARLEY.
late chemist of the Brooklyn. n. Y, board OF
health and professor of chemistry of the Long
Island College, and others took part
The consensus Of opinion was overwhelming
in favor Of the employment of ammonia. 1t
was stated as fact that ammonia rendered the
gluten OF the flour more soluble than the orig
inal gluten, and that the bread in which this
action produced by carbonate Of ammonia
must be more digestible and hence more
healthful, and because OF the extreme volatility
of carbonate of ammonia. and its complete ex-
pulsion from the bread in the process of bak-
ing. it is one OF the most useful, most healthful
and most valuable leavening agents known
These conclusions are borne out by the very
elaborate and exhaustive experiments made by
Prof. j. W. Mallet Of the University of Vir-
ginia, which show conclusively that bread
made with baking powdec In which per
nectiOn with cream of tartar and soda. is not
only OF uniformly better color and texture but
a product more wholesome, because the am.
monia serves to neutralize any organic or Tactic
acids present III the -four.

Commander Seth Says the Supply VIII He
Greater Than Last Year.

After cruise in the bay Commander Seth
OF the Maryland oyster navy says the oysters
this year are thin and in poor condition, the
best being found in Pocomoke sound and
PatuIsnt river. The supply this year, he says,
will be 80 or 40 per cent greater than last year.
In regard to the oyster laws Commander Seth
expresses himself to Baltimore Sun reporter:
The oyster laws will need thorough revis-
ion next winter. The discussion of .he subject
last spring disclosed that the same system will
be continued, but to make 1t at all effective the
laws should be made general in their operations
and local laws should be avoided. Every lesis-
lator from u tide water county thinks it incum-
bent on him to pass some local oyster law, and
as q result We have the books full of inconsist-
ent acts, and when you cross county lines you
find a different law. This is confusing 10 the
catcher and makes the enforcing of the laws
more difficult.
I'm 1880 eight local laws were passed. and the
courts have decided that by q subsequent
amendment to the general law the local laws
were repealed though all passed by the same
body. Prosecutions were undertaken under
the local laws and all failed.
How much better it would be to have one
time for taking throughout the state with the
same penalties and the same conditions. There
could then be no excuse that our local laws
permit this or that. This uniformity should
extend to the two states Of Maryland aud Nir-

From the Providence Journal.
curious spectacle was to be seen on the
outskirts Of Gainesville, Fla, recently. Alachua
lake. from ten to fifteen miles in length and
covering some 40, 600 acres of land, is no more.
On its banks were lying;thousands of dead fi.h,
dead alligators foated CHASTITY in pools of black
water and the atmosphere was heavy with
noxious gases. Men and boys were there in
throngs with hoes and rakes. dragging to shore
hundreds of fish which had sought the pools
for refuge. The waters were fairly alive with
their struggles for existence. Except for q
small stream known as Paynes creek, flowing
from Newmans lake into the Sink, the two
main basins of the Sink and a few stagnant
pools no water is now to be seen where few
years ago steamers were ploughing their way.
This is the second time since 1873 that a similar
occurrence has taken place. At that time
the bed Of the lake was a large prairie
Payne's prairie-having in it body Of
water called the Sink and q small creek
In 1868 heavy rains filled up the prairie,
but the water disappeared after short time.
and the prairie was again dry land. In 1873.
after o series Of heavy rains, the Sink over
flowed and the creek swelled TO the dimensions
Of a lake. During several years the waters in
creased till larger lake was formed, and for
fully fifteen years sufficient depth OF water
stood over the prairie to allow of small steam
ers. During the last two years, however, the
waters have been gradually lowering, and
about four weeks ago they commenced going
down with surprising rapidity, the lake falling
about eight feet in ten days, until Now nothing
is left of Alachua lake but the memory of it.
The Sink il considered the cause Of this change.
There Is evidently an underground passage
connected, and for some reason not under
stood this underground passage has been act
ing as drain until all the water in the
lake has been drawn of.

The Wealth OF the Duke Of n assau,
tl...I el.,,r.<

From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Sch ia
really king. In his small but important do
main his powers are almost equal to those Of
the kaiser or the car. He is also proud Of his
family, which, it is claimed, is the Oldest sover-
eign house in Europe. Early in the twelfth
century the present dynasty had its origin and
has extended down to the present time with
out a break and through twenty-five genera
tons.
Yet, with all his pride OF blood and power.
Friedrich Franz, the last successor TO Henry
the Lion, has for years past been bowed
down by illness and is now, they say, mere
skeleton, physically and mentally unfit to
transact the most trivial business. His condi-
ton long ago suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of ap-
pointing q regent to take charge of his affairs
but no one cared TO shoulder the RESPONSE
bility OF proposing the matter. knowing
how violently he would resent il. Some
thing will have to be done. and that
shortly. as he is now and for a long time past
has been but little better than a Diving man.
1t is reported the matter is causing considera-
BILE anxiety in parts Of Germany, it being feared
that it may lead to serious results in the event
that either Germany or Russia feels sighted in
the arrangements to fill the present rulers
shoes. Although Mecklenburg- Schwerin is a
German province, Russia insists on having
something to say in the matter, through the
grand dukes wife being the daughter Of Grand
Duke Michael OF Russia. Freidrichs brother
Paul has been suggested for regent, but the
car objects on account Of Paul's ultra German
sympathies. 1t would not be surprising il this
province should be the cause Of serious trouble
between the two great countries.

THE RACES OF MEN.
How They VIII BE Represented in the
Sculpture of the Library Building

How They VIII BE Represented in the
Sculpture of the Library Building.
The new National Library building, which is
to cost sc. 600. 600, is about half way up This
does not mean that it Is half finished. for after
the walls are up and the roof on there is an
immense amount Of work then to be done, but
the outer walls are about up to the halfway
line and the inner walls are advanced consider
ably beyond that. There is enough of the
building now to give q fair idea Of the grand
structure it is going TO be. Even in this IN
finished. rough condition the building goes be-
yond the expectations aroused by a view of the
drawings. The walls of stone and brick and the
arches-all the masonry-is up as far as the
main gallery. beyond which there is but one
story. The outer walls are OF granite and in
the interior masonry 14,000, 900 bricks have
already been laid. All the brick work facing
inside the court is OF yellowish white enameled
surface, giving very handsome effect and in
surfing an abundance Of light from that quar-
ter. Having no great colonades and projec-
tions such as adorn the Capitol and the treasury
and patent offce-oaly 4 few columns of gran
lite and arches distributed about the structure
considerable ornamentatiOn in the way Of carv-
ing Is necessary to prevent the broad surfaces
from looking bare, and the front and upper
part OF the building will be quite
ornate the granite carving being elab-
crate and In good taste. One feature of
ornamentatiou which is not shown in the
drawings is going to attract considerable atten-
ton, and, judging from the work that has beer
done on 1t already. Is apt to provoke some dis
cushion, but will meet with the approval of most
folks. There are just thrty-three arches on
the four sides of the building In ornament
ing tho keys 10 these arches, instead of drawing
upon the imagination for images Of heads Of
monsters, there Is given . study in ethnog
raphy. The thirty-three arches corresponding
exactly with the recognized number of races Of
man suggested the idea Of having sculptured
in very bold relief on the KEY of each arch a
typical head u ono race With the assistance
OF Prof Otis Mason, who is an authority on
ethnosraphy, casts of the several types have
been secured, each being strongly Characters
tic SO as to make plain the purpose. A num-
Der OF these have been finished and put in
place and are very effective. Over the arches
at the main entrance will be the types Of tie
higher order. and the very lowest types will be
at the back of the building.
The work on the building Is right up to the
time estimate made when il was begun and is
within the cost estimated.
