With the three little words, ''whv,"
chow and what" it is quite possible
for some blockhcad to puzzle Il phil
osopher. why does the magnetic
needle point always TO the north?"
How was the universe madc?" What
is light?" Here are three questions
that any fool may ask, yet that all the
wisdom in the world can not answer.
There are hundreds of other queries as
simple and rs likely to suggest them
selves to the inqusitive, to which
science can make no satisfactory reply.
On the other hand. positive philos-
ophy, history, the mechanic arts and
other practical branches of human
knowledge, afford conclusive responses
to a vast number of important why's"
and ''lows'' and ''whats." All that it
is necessary for man to know he can
learn from these sources, and educa-
zion in its best sense consists in the
broadcast diffusion of the information
they afford, in its SIMPLEST clearest
form.
Europeans say we are an overcurious
people-that we examine and cross
examine strangers about matters with
which we have no concern. That's a
mistake. Everything in the way of in
formation that any human being is
willing to ilnpart concerns us. We

white and brown bread, oatmeal, baked
beans, milk butter, sugar, beefsteak,
potatoes and apples.
The IL days of the experiment were
divided first into preliminary and
supplementary period amounting to
three days. The remaining nine days
for the actual experiment were divided
Into three periods Of three days each.
The first three days were devoted to 4
study OF the relationship between food
and thought. They were spent by the
subject in severe mental labor. He
worked eight hours a day at his table,
solving difficult mathematical prob
lens and studying German work On
physics The second period of three
days were spent in absolute rest. The
subject sat Or reclined during the day,
and slept as usual at night. The third
three days wre devoted to severe and
eHhaustlng muscular exercise, with IL
pulley and weight, continued eight
hours each day. Comparisons of the
periods Of brain work and rest dis
closed the fact that the human engine
burned virtually the same amount OF
fuel during each period. Strange to
relate, the indication was that brain
work does not burn up any more of
the body Or of the food than does alb
solute rest. On the other hand, a very
much greater proportion was used in
the system during muscular exercise
than during either brain work or alb
.Solute rest Indeed, the fuel afforded
during the third period was scarce
enough, and the subjects body digest
ed almost seven pounds Of itself This
experiment indicated very clearly that
brain workers and men who take very
little exercise require much less bulk
OF food than men who use their mus
cles. By drawing the lines closer it
may in the future be learned which
particular food ingredients are most
necessary to brain workers and which
to body workers.

70 give to the thinking world some
valuable advice On this subject before
long. Some time ago he discovered a
method for studying exactly how food
is utilized by the body-how all of it's
various ingredients are distributed.
But that the brain, as we'll as the
body, is affected by food, and that diff
ferent proportions and qualities OF
food materials are required by people
who use their brains and bodies to dif-
ferent degrees is reasonable to suppose.
No one, however, has attempted hith-
ertO to learn the exact relationship be-
tween stomach and brain. Such stud
les to be practical must Of course be
made with men, not with lower ami
mails. Elaborate apparatus has been
devised for such delicate undertake
ing. 1t consists primarily of an air
tight cabinet of copper, with outside
coverings of zinc and wood. In this
cell the human subject of the expert
ment must be confined for days at 4
time, eating there and sleeping there.
The dimensions of the interior space
have been made seven feet long by
four feet wide. All communication
with the outside world must be had by
telephone. The furniture for the COM
fort of the subject consists simply Of
a cot bel, which may be folded and
put out of the way during the day, a
chair and table. Through a glass

through brass tube extending through
the wall. The air admitted to this in
teresting chamber during the subjects
Imprisonment is kept constantly in
motion by an air pump on the outside.
After leaving the chamber, where it
has been breathed by the subject, The
same air passes through various cont
plicated devices which analyze it, re-
move the newly acquired moisture and
carbolic acid gas and measure its vol
ume. Thus the air passing into the
cell and that passing out may be COM
pared. Before being passed into the
chamber the subjects food is carefully
weighed and analysed. After each
meal, and from time to time, all waste
matter not eaten or not retained by
the digestive system is returned to
the laboratory outside, through the
brass tube, to be weighed and anal
yzed again.
During the entire period of his con-
finement the subject is eagerly watched
by corps of observers, day and night.
To best understand the means of de-
termining the relationship between
food and brain let us suppose the sub
ject to be an engine. His food is The
fuel. This when burned in the diges-
tive system is transferred into heat
and motion. But the human engine

the ordinary engine Of iron and STEEL

supply this directive force-brain force
The fuel of the human engine is nitro
gen, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sui
phur, phosphorus and other constitu-
ents. Now, to come directly to the
point, which of these is utilized chief
ly in the creation of brain force? TO
answer this question definitely, the
dietary experts will have to make many
experiments upon great numbers Of
subjects confined for long periods of
time in the strange apparatus de-
scribed AS yet the air tight chamber
has been used for several preliminary
experiments. The most Important of
these, which has just been reported to

whether any duty will change the course OF that

Another important class OF imports from this
country includes iron and its manufactures, OF

The fact that American machinery and nipple

far TO Indicate why Canadians will continue to

from the United States considerable quantities
of petroleum, which il will not be likely to get

How far the discrimination in favor OF Brit

cannot he determined until the new duties are
definitely known. But 1t Is evident that
large proportion of the exports from TINS couh-
try to Canada will not be materially affected by
the discrimination proposed, and those OF IRON
and steel manufactures may probably be IN
creased owing to the reduction OF duties. Inc
discrimination may help British interests as TO
textile goods and some other miscellaneous
manufactures and it will not be overlooked at
Washington that the deliberate intention OF ms
tariff is TO restrict trade with this country ana
bring in British goods. That fact may perhaps
have some influence when the question arises
whether this country should continue the bond
ed privilege by which Canadian railroads are
enabled to haul q great quantity of freight from
this country.
