The reader. if he he old enough, will
recall that many years ago the I'M
scientific public breakfasted one morn
ing over the rather startling announce
ment that no particle OF energy ex-
pended in this or surrounding worlds
is ever lost, but that all the work done,
all the trains he uled, all the coal
burned. all the wonders accomplished
by steam. meant simply the transfer
nation of energy from one form into
another in perfectly determinate guam
titles. The men of science who put
forth this dogma even went so far as
to show that so small a matter as the
mechanical or chemical effect of MAX
ing cigar could be measured, and q
candle flame might have its infinitesi-
NAL fleet upon the most distant shores
of space
This. in very rough way, is what
afterwards came to be known as the
doctrine of the conservation of energy.
And because men eminent in the scien-
tific world said that this doctrine was
true, the rest OF mankind accepted it
as d matter OF course, although not
really experimenting how much was
contained in it When it was said that
9. pound Of coal burned in an engine
was converted into exactly measure
able quantities of heat and refuse that
was well enough. But no one went so
far as to say that a pound of food
taken into the human body was con-
verted into an exactly equivalent guam
tity of heat ano work. Though a pro-
fessor Of science is as fond of a para
dCx as any other We'll bred man, this
latter seemed going rather too far.
THE MAN IN THE BOX.
Nevertheless. it is just this fact when
q corps of investigators at Wesleyan
university, in Middletown, Conn, aid
ed by the national government, is at
tempting to establish. When, several
weeks ago, the newspapers reported
chat at a Connecticut college, a young
man had been sealed up in an air.
tight box for ten days at time for the
purpose Of testing the effects of vari-
Gus foods, doubtless the reader, as well
as the writer, attached but little i'm
portance to the matter. 1t was odd
and curious to test foods in such a
fashion as this, but there were count
less other odd and curious things in
the dispatches of the same day. And
somehow the telegraph reports failed
to make clear the very remarkable
character of the experiments which
were under way.
The experiments upon the man in
the alright compartment were to de-
monstrate that the theory of the con-
servetion Of energy applies to the or
ganic or living world just as it does
10 the inorganic or lifeless world, and
that ii applies SO definitely and precise
Nv that it will be of immense practical

OUTING SUITS FOR ATHL ETEs
The Newest and Most Correct FashS
ions For Golf, Yachting, Tennis
and Bicycle Suits.

Young women with athletic leanings
are discovering that the construction
of their summer wardrobes is by no
means simplified by their preferences
for an outdoor life. After planning
ones bicycle suit, suitable costumes
for walking and mountain climbing
golf and tennis suits, riding habit and
yachting costume, the compIacent
piazza girl may fairly be envied the
simplicity of the dress problem as she
knows it. So little is the athletic girl
exempt from the demands of fashion
that there is one correct costume for
each of her outdoor exercises, and she
may not venture to trifie with the de-
tails appointed for one of them.
Here are few of the gowns she
must wear, represented just as the
most fashionable tailors and modistes
IN New York are making them today.
Golf has lost none of it's popularity
since last year, and the old golf suit is
perhaps, the most important feature Of
the athletic girls wardrobe. 1t is a
very becoming costume, and there are
few young women who can resist the
temptation to play golf after. thew
have seen it. A correct costume is
made of light gray homespun' and
bright plaid silk. If you have a,
Scotch name, find out what plaid your
Scottish ancestors wore, and uae the
same pattern in your suit TIL. golf
girl who has plaid of her own soon
learns to scorn all other hereditary
glory, and to forget her former !earn-
ings for coat of arms in assuming
her jaunty Highland air. If a family
of Mackenzies, for instance, wish to
play golf, their suits are fashioned ex-
actly alike and are made of the. Mac
kenzie plaid, which is a pretty pattern
OF black, blue and green, with a.
prominent stripe of red.
