Hour, M. Girard informs the Paris
Academy Of Sciences that the common
belief that fine white bread has less
nutritive power than coarse brown
bread is wrong, as both the fine and the
coarse breads contain practically the
same amounts of gluten and of phos-
pilates.
Miss Cannon and Miss Hands of
New York have evolved what they

not be on basis of free trade, but half
way between free trade, as they have

protective basis.
Hiram s. Maxim the inventor OF the
Maxim gun, who Is low studying the
subject of air-ships, writes as follows
to the London Times: I think 1 am
safe in asserting that until very re-
cent date the greater part of the ex-
perimenters on flying machines have
been little better than charlatans and
mountebanks. 1t is only recently that
men Of science have actually taken the
matter in hand, and during the last
six years a great deal of valuable in
formation has been obtained, not based
upon theory, but upon actual expert
sible to make successful and practical
f3yng machine which will at least be
a valuable adjunct to the offensive and
defensive powers Of highly civilized ma

delicate and complicated machinery.
Fire has destroyed more in forests
than the lumbermen have cut. Preven-
ton of forest fires, therefore, is mat
fer of prime Importance. How to pre-
vent them forms a large part of the
first annual report of the chief fire war
den of Minnesota. Much has been
done in this line in Minnesota under
the new law for the appointment of
fire wardens, the damage in 1895 being
much less than in 1894. The chief cause
of forest fires is the locomotive, and
there is need of an efficient sparlx-ar-
roster. Another danger comes from the
camps. where dying embers are often
left to kindle under a strong wind and
work their havoc The Indians are
more careful than the whites in ex-
tinguishing camp-fires, but the threat
of heavy fines and imprisonment for
oarelessness has increased the care of
the people at large. The greater part
nf the Minnesota forest region is I'M
organized territory. and where the fire
xvardens are less numerous $4,000 warm
ing pIacards against fires, printed on
cloth. have been furnished to railroad
companies and fire wardens and duly
posted. 1t is believed that, # fires can
be prevented in the numbering districts,
