It is expected to be of great value in showing what food has the least injurious effect on invalids. such as eonsumptives or paralytics. These results will be accomplished automati- cally by measuring the amount of oxy- gen absorbed from the air by the body and the Iamount of earbonic acid and water given off. Animals fed upon particular kinds of food will be placed in glass jars for 24 hours at time during which the air entering and leav- ing the jars will be measured by the very delicate piece of mechanism, which. although very small, cost $500

BOLD ROBBERY OF A BANK

At Midday In ST. Paul and by an Adroit
Manoeuvre.
ST PAUL, Aug. 15-St. Paul bankers
are dazed over robbery at the First
National bank, a single man being able to
seize a 5000 bag of gold at midday in the
presence of twenty people and disappear
in a crowd. The police have been search
ing for him ever since, but there is small
prospects that he will be caught. Reaaldo
Lares, trusted representative of the
Merchants National bank, accompanied
by l. II. Jacobs, porter of the Merchants,
had Just come into the First National
bank to make a settlement with the clear
ing house The funds consisted of three
bags containing 5000 each in gold in a
small steel box, with odd money, and in
all about 81, 900.
This box was fastened 10 the porter.
Jacobs, by means of handc ifs and the
two men carried the box, when on the
street, between them. Arriving at the
bank some twenty men stood at the vari-
Gus windows and Lesks attending to bust
ness. At the teller's window Lares opened
the box and removing the bags, placed
them on the window ledge close by the
window aud at his rigat side. he standing
between the post and the window, while,
the porter, JACOBS, STOOD at MS lett, be-
tween l.ares and the door. Resting the
bags for the moment on the ledge Lares
began to pay in the loose money and was
busy with this when he heard step at his
right, and turning instantly he saw the
| robber grab one of the bags and dart
around the post toward the door,
Lares made a leap and succeeded in
reaching the door almost as quickly as the
thief and would no doubt have been able
to catch him, or at least follow him, had
not man, undoubtedly the accomplice of
the thief, here interposed by crowding
Lares to the wall and giving the man
with the bag clear sweep. In an instant
everything was excitement, the clerks
and clearing hou-e men rushing into the
! general banking Office, but the gold and
robbers were as completely gone as though
| the earth had closed over them.
