lists for Natural Products.
From the Chicago Pest.

From the Chicago Pest.
The craft Of man has found food pro-
ducts which do not grow from the soil, and
science, no less than experiment, has APP
proved their utility. Long ago the golden
scepter of butter was wreSted away by the
mightier product of a factory, with which
neither farm nor creamery could compete.
Retorts yielded a culinary aid that was
better than lard. Scientific young men
produced jellies fairer in appearance than
that which came from the natural fruit.
In meat production the margin of profit
narrowed with the narrowing range" AS
free pastures disappeared with the terri
tories to make room for the states, the
price of beef scared. Instantly that food
product became the target of inventive
attempt. The inevitable law of commerce
was obeyed. Big profits attracted big at
tempt. And imitation meat followed imita-
ton butter into the feld--no, into the
mart.
For a long time potatoes held a place
peculiarly their own; out the main reason
was that potatoes could still, three years
In five, be cheaply produced. But the two
uncertain years would come, and the rapid
rise in price provoked attention. Expert
ment made short work Of the potato. A
thing of starch and water at the best it's
combining was a simple matter, and farm
ers hung up their hoes and bought pota-
toes at the factory-ready for the kitchen,
est effort.
Corn was more complex, but it surren-
dered. After all, what is it but combina-
ton Of chemical properties which could be
found elsewhere? 1t was far less trouble
to combine them in a substitute for maize
than to find the light by which that substi-
tute for maize might, on winter evenings,
be inspected.
Bread products were matter of habit and
tradition. Give the race food which an
swered all the requirements bread bad SUD-
piled, and the race was too intellectual to
decline it. Laboratories took the place of
fallow land. Pestle and mortar We're as
reaper and mill. The hand skilled at COM
bining and compromising welded at once
the executioner's ak by which the head of
the baker was sundered.
A thing of steel, with handle bars and
chain, elastic tread and mp-by-night, ha d
pedaled buzzing past the horse, and a crea-
ture which had served man we'll for ninety
centuries llmped useless away. And with
him went the fields which had maintained

There is one official at Scotland Yard who

all the same, works very hard and success
fully for the public good by closely scanning,
day in and day out, the advertisements APP
pearing in every London newspaper.
This officials primary duty is to keep
bright lookout for the very numerous
swindling class which advertises for man.

but quite beyond this, he, in the most care
full manner, notes all advertisements that

handing them over to the heads OF dlNerenI

ali matters that deal with cipher writing,
and part Of his duty is to translate every
cipher that may appear, handing over a
copy of his translation to active members OF
the staff when anything is revealed that JUS
titles such course.
The writer had the privilege the other day
of short chat with this official-a bright
young fellow, speaking several languages,
who said
81 am afraid that am not allowed to tell
you much, but may say that no day ever

WHAT HATS WEIGH,

Complied by an Expert.
From the New York Herald.
DO you know the actual weight of a
hat?' queried the spruce salesman as he
handed out several new styles"
People don't generally. 1 asked man
that question yesterday, and he guessed
fourteen ounces on that hat, which weighs
exactly four and a half. An ordinary silk
hat weighs only seven.
Il looked up the matter recently and SO I
know precisely. A 'silker is almost the
heaviest hat made, though hunting hats
weigh more from their having an inner lin
ing of great stiffness and strength to save
a man If he should be thrown on his head,
The hunting top hats weigh ten ounces
ano the hunting derbies nine. A winter
derby weighs five and quarter ounces,
varying quarter ounce either way for
size, and summer soft felt three and
three-Quarter ounces.
when ii comes to women's headgear,
there are all sorts of weights, though sci.
dom does a woman's hat of any kind run
more than seven ounces. 1t depends on the
kind of trimming and fal-lals. Some rib
bons are heavy, and so some artificial
flowers. Jet is heavy, too. The average
little bonnet weighs two ounces to two and
half a trimmed sailor three and half,
and 'Sennett' Uhe kind that have brims
stiffened with glue) four and three-quar-
tiers.
THE French creations are heavier, but
they are not so weighty as you might sup-
pose. Six and a half to seven ounces
means big, heavy hat, and one you would

French cafe-concert singers permitted
themselves few gestures and stood up

Paulus,. recruiting his strength in a small
village, once happened to see man in fit.
Setting this fit to music Paulus conquered
Paris.
With him originated all those Waiting

theaters throughout the world. Whether as

In good time the system of Paulus was
improved upon by an imbecile calling nim-
self Kam-Hfl. All Paris ran to see him
in his scarlet dress coat, black knee
breeches and white vest. With kam-Hill
