MOUSE POWER.
From School and Home.

From School and Home.
A western exchange is authority
for the remark that a Scotchman
has trained two mice to operate a
thread spinning apparatus of which
he was the inventor. The mechan-
ical principle of the contrivance is a
small mill which is operated by the
paws of the mice. They can each
wind on and off per day from one
hundred to one hundred and twenty
pieces of thread, and to do this they
must supply q motor power by
which a course Of ten and one half
miles could be traversed. Although
the two mice are quite small, they
perform this task every day without
apparent fatigue. a cents worth of
flour furnishes them food enough
for five weeks. During that time
the little animals have spun in the
neighborhood of $3.50 threads each,
about one and one-half yards long.
At this rate, each mouse earns not
one-half cent per day, or the mum
ficent sum of about 50 90 per year.
The ingenious inventor proposes to
build house ninety feet long, forty
five feet wide and forty eight high,
which he expects to equip on large
scale with thread mills operated by
mice. He says he can put in about
10, 900 mills.

FOOD NOURISH MENT.

Prrf. W. o. Atwater, in Good Housekeeping
Food nourishes the body in two
ways; 1t builds and repairs the tbs =
sues, and it serves for fuel to yield
heat to keep the body warm and to
give 1t force and strength to do its
work. The protein compounds are
the building material. They are
sometimes called "hesh formers"
because the flesh /. e., muscle and
sinew, is formed from them, though
they make blood and bone as well
and can also be transformed into fat.
The fats and carbohy drates are the
fuel ingredients Both of them are
transformed into the fat of the body,
which is its reserve of fuel. The
protein can serve as fuel also, but
the fats and carbohy cannot
build nitrOgenous tissue, muscle,
sinew, bone, nerve, ETC., for they
contain no nitrogen. Chemists have
devised ways. for estimating the fuel
value, or potential energy, of the
nutrients of food. This is expressed
in heat units, called calories, calorie
being the amount of heat that would
raise kilogram of water one degree
centigrade, or one pound OF water
about four degrees Fahrenheit.
One calorie corresponds to 1.52
foot tons. A gram (453.6 grams
make pound avoirdupois) of pro
tein or a gram of carbohydrates is
estimated to contain on the average
4. 1-calories, and gram Of fats 9.3
calories of energy. A pound of
rather fat sirloin of beef would con
tain nearly 1000, pound of butter
5000, pound of wheat -four about
l 500, and pound of potatoes 34O
calories. The potatoes yield so lit
tie because they are three quarters
water, the butter SO much because il
is mostly fat.

NEW JERSEY ROAD LAW.

From the Globe Democrat.
New Jersey is at the head of all
the states in practical road improve
ment. Under a new law, passed by
the legislature in 1891, the state pays
one third of the cost of improved
roads and the county the remainder,
less 10 per cent of the whole cost,
which is levied on the property
holders benefited. The property
holders interested must take the
lead, and whenever they agree to
pay 10 per cent of the cost the
county and state contribute the
other nine -tenths. The roads in
four or fve counties have already
been improved under this law, and
form almost continuous highways OF
excellent construction through the
state from north to south. The only
other state that has made a beginning
in good roads is Massac achusetts,
which has a system of state roads In
view, and is now engaging in the
preliminary work.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES DEAD.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, famous as
poet and author, died in Boston
October Z, 1894, aged 50 years.
DR.. Holmes was born in Cambridge,
Mass, August 30, 1909. He grad
uated at Harvard college in 1929, and
began the study of law, which he
soon abandoned for that of medicine.
After taking his degree of NJ. D., he
spent some time in the hospitals in
Paris and other European countries.
He returned to Boston in 1885, and
began praciicing. In 1888 he was
elected professor of anatomy and
physiology in Dartmouth college,
and in 1877 was appointed to a
similar professorship in the medical
school of Harvard university, from
which he retired in 1882.
In was in 1857 that DR.. Holmes
flashed upon the American public
with the "Autocrat at the Breakfast
Table" that brilliant series of articles
which brought the atlantic Monthly
into immediate vogue. Before that
the doctor had given his life both to
law and to medicine, with occasional
dips into poetry. With the "Auto-
craft of the Breakfast Table" in 1857
he becomes the most popular writer
in America.
The group of Americans to which
Holmes belongs in history includes
Hawthorne, Longfellow, Thoreau,
Emerson, Lowell, Whittier and Mar
garet Fuller. He was the last of
this great company and it is perhaps
too soon to fix with accuracy his
relative place in that group. But it
can be said that none of them has
had more readers and few of them
have been so universally enjoyed.
