BREAD OUT OF SAWDUSf.
Scientists low at Work o. he RrUhIem and
LAY SSlTs Il.

Washington Star: A Star reportel
was informed that the department o.
agriculture Is interested in q plan fol
making bread out Of saWdust.
Absurd? By no means. Scientists be
lieve that there Is no good reason why
the thing should not be entirely practi-
cable. Everybody knows that starch d
Q substance extremely nutritious; in fact
II is nearly all nutriment. Well, starch
and sawdust are the same thing. Saw
dust, which is "cellulos," Is Of precisely
the same chemical composition as starch.
The two are expressed by the same chem
ical formula-C7 H 10 O5-that Is, six
parts Of carbon, ten Of hydrogen and five
parts Of oxygen. These are the simple
Ingredients Of either starch or sawdust.
Scientific experimenters have been trying
for long time to find out . way to trans
form the one into the other. II they
should succeed the discovery would be way
head Of the philosophers stone in point
Of value. An inexhaustibls source Of food
supply would at once be rendered avail
able in the forests, the grass and even in
straw and chat.
Hitherto chemistry has occupied itself
almost wholly with taking things apart,
in order to find out what they are made
Of; but now the science Is directing its
attention to putting elements together for
the production Of useful substances.
Already It has succeeded in the artificial
preparation Of indigo, aliEarin, aric acid
and many other compounds. The aniline
colors, obtained from coal tar and yet
Tivaling the most brilliant tints Of the rain
bow, are similarly produced. So complex
are some Of them that their names, which
give full account Of their composition,
have to be regular seven-league words,
one beautiful dye being known a. HE
neutrality-suspicious.
mol" From coal tar in like manner are
derived many valuable anti-fever medi-
cines and soperi6cs.
The prospects Of this new science Of
putting elements together seem infinite
and the era Of bliss may yet dawn which
has been prOphesisd by the illustriOus
naturalist Frederick COIN, who says that
all struggles for existence among men
arising from want Of food will be done
away with when chemistry shall have
learned to make starch from carbolic acid
and water. Plants grow by doing just
that, and II may, therefore, be said that
farmers have been engaged since time
immemOrial in this very chemical indust-
~. 1t would scarcely be % surprising.
then, il the farms Of the country should
be replaced at.some time in the future by
chemical laboratories.

FACTS ABOUT OlTHS.
HsW Psspk Swear and WHARF II. Cux Words
Game From.

"You need not have looked severe be.
cause said that didn't care Q DAM"
said q gruf old senator In conversation
with the Sunday school reporter Of the
Washington Star. THAT is not swearing.
The expression has . very different mean
ing from what is popularity supposed, and
originated by the Duke Of Wellington.
A dam in India is the smallest piece Of
money known, and not to care that much
means simply that one Is very Indifferent.
That was all the phrase was intended to
signify. The word damn from the Latin
verb meaning to condemn, is a very diff
ierent thing. Curiously enough, Ii seems
almost invariably to be the first word in
our language acquired by foreigners, and
IL has always been such 4 iavorite with
the English that in the last century the
French always referred to them as the
'GOd-dams.' A distinguished Gallo
yFiter Of that epoch said that English
Is q beautiful tongue and that God
dam was the basis Of it. People Of that
nation, he remarked, have a few other
words which they use in conversation,
but the principal one Is Goddam. You
can go anywhere in England II you know
that
"A funny Misrepresentation also exists
as 10 the expression, GO TO the deuce
People generally suppose that deuce
means devil whereas as matter Of fact
it Is derived directly from the Latin Deus
-'tiOd.' So, when any one tells you to
20 to the deuce, he Is uncOnsciously utter
ing the best Of good wishes for your well
fare.
Speaking Of Latin reminds ne that
among the ancient Romans Il was con-
sidered the thing for each man to have
some particular god to habitually swear
by. Some swore by Jupiter, others by
Mars, others still by Minerva, and 30 on.
The demi-gods, like Hercules and Castor
and Pollux, were also made use Of in the
way Of Oaths. Castor and Pollux were
usually appealed to as the TWins'-'By
Geminir-the phrase whence we get our

VICTORIOUS INSURGENTS
Three Chilean Government
Ships Attack the Insurgent
Cruiser Magallenes
The Former Routed and a Nom
Combatent Hit With
Torpedo
A Three to One Naval Battle
PluckilY Contested Near
Coronel

New York, June "A special from Val
paraise, dated April 30, says that Coronel,
few hundred miles north of that port,
was the scene, on April "a, Of another
battle, which resulted In the sinking OF
one merchant bark and the defeat OF the
government fotllla by the insurgent
cruiser Magallenes.
On the morning OF the oath three gov
ernment men-ofwar were discovered by
the lookout OF the Magallenes coming into
the bay from the northeast. The flotilla
divided, coming toward the Magallanes
at half speed, the Condell on the starboard
side, the Sergeant Aldea on the port, and
the Lynch nearly bow on. They formed
a triangle, with the openlning OF the
angle toward the Magalcnes.
When the government gunboats at
tackled the Magallencs she could only
work her forward batteries and light
| IIotchkiss guns; her heavy stern guns
could not be brought 10 play. She was
| In a very dlsadvantageous position;
as the Sergeant Aldea swept her port side,
while the COndell did the same for the
| starbOard. Exposed as she was to the
raking fire OF the Sergeant Aldea and
/ COnder. the Magellenes made every
shot tell. One Of her shells carried
away the smokestack Of the Lynch and
killed over twenty men. The Sergeant
Aldea was nearly blown to prieces. Both
| her masts were gone, her smOkestack was
| on level with the deck, and the pilot
house and officers cabin smashed. The
Lynch fired t0pedO at the Magallenes.
II came straight for the bow, but by a
singular coincidence huge cannon ball
dropped Into the water, causing swell
which changed the direction Of the
torpedo. The diverted torpedo came up
TO the bark Bertha; all hands OF the lat
Ter vessel were on deck watching the
battle when suddenly an explosion took
! place right under them. The vessel began
to sink and In aIfew minutes disappeared
! from view, only her masts showing. The
crew managed TO escape In boats aud by
swimming. Only two persons were killed.
The Condell kept up an incessant fire on
| the Magallencs and, In order 10 bring all
| her brOadsideS to bear on the Condell, the
| rebel cruiser turned about. The Lynch
| then began a fusllade from her guns,
| blowing yardarm of the cruiser into
the sea At the end OF the yardarm was
a flag. In moment one OF the gunners
sprang overheard and seized the yardarm
Catching hold OF ropes, which were
thrown him from the ship. he was soon
standing on deck, holding on TO the drip
! ping flag. This action caused the reyO-
! lutiOnlsts TO fight with more vim, and II
| was soon evident the pace was too hot for
the government vessels The Condell
gave the signal, and at full speed the
lOtilla put 10 sea. They continued using
their guns, though with little effect The
| Magallcncs gave chase as best she could,
but seeing It was useless returned 10

RAILROAD MEETING
Nothing Done Except the Transaction
of Routine Business


New YORK, June 3-The Times says
that the two meetings held In the Trunk
Line association Office In the Jersey Cen
tral building yesterday, were not product
I've OF important results. The general
passenger agents did nothing beyond
routine work, because Of the absence OF
the representatives OF the Canadian
Pacific road.
II had been expected that the question
OF admitting the Canadian Pacific Into the
immigrant passenger traffic clearing
house might be acted on at the session OF
the special trunk lines on west bound
rates.
The usual resolution 10 maintain rates
was adopted. The Kanawha dispatch, II
was reported, had been cutting the rate
on dry goods from seventy-iiye 70 fifty
cents per hundred pounds. As the Kama
wha dispatch Is allowed a 10 per cent
differential, its reduced tariff amounts 70
fifteen cent cut. There was no Kama

WILL PREFER CHARGES
Captain Healy, of the Revenue Cutter
Bear, Accused of Inhumanity

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3-Lynde and
Hough, IL is rumOred, threaten to prefer
charges against Captain Healy, Of the
revenue cutter Bear, on the ground that
while he was searching the crew Of the
Dashing Wave they were In great peril,
scarcely thirty miles distant.
The wreck OF their steamer was com
municated TO Hcaly and when he advised
the firm here OF the fact by telegraph
from Port Tywnsend he said he did not
have time TO go after thestranded vessels
men. If any charge is sent TO the depart
ment IL will be that OF negligence, based
on the claim that llealY sailed away with
the cutter without knowing whether the
schooner's crew were dead or alive, or
how they were to escape from the scene
of the Yessel's wreck.
