LEAN MEAT.
1t Sometimes Contains as Much as Seven-
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.

1t Sometimes Contains AS Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent of Water.
Lean meat, it may surprise many to
learn, is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may coll
tain rs much rs rs per cent of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent The flesh of fish is more
watery than ordinary butcher meat
Thus salmon contains five-cighths of its
total weight Of water, cod four-f ifths
and founders siX-sevenths.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but II small percentage Of
water, and consequently as dry food,
arc flour and oatmeal, and sugar is a
food entirely devoid of it. The animal
body has often been aptly lillened to q
machine. and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
wo eat, and in default of food tho ami
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes Of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value of food may be estimated
i'll terms Of the amount of heat it will
give rise to. The most concentrated food
fuel is fat. When fat is burned, it gives
Else to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either tho albuminoids
or the carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess much greater heating
value than nonfatty foods. -Philadcl-

1t has been stated that three persons
out OF every five in this country who
havo attained the age of 40 years are
moro or less deaf i'll one or both ears
A large proportion of this deafness is
caused by catarrh, and medical treat
ment for difficulty of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal source. In Eu-
rope much of the deafness is hereditary
DIR. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re-
Gently read paper Oh deafness before
the Royal society of Edinburgh. from
which it appears that congenital deaf
ness may be either hereditary i'll the di-
rect line CT i'll collateral branches, and
that 1t depends OH not one, but many
anatomical defects. Intermarriagc of
deaf persons perpetuates but does not
accentuato the tendency of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters of deaf
mutes are as likely to havo deaf mute
offspring as if they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consanguinity of parents
emphasizes family defects, and in this
way many cases of congenital deafness
occur. One of the most singular points
of DR.. Loves paper was the assertion
that the state had the right to control
the marriage of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

High Priced Bumblebees.

Many years ago the farmers CO Aus
tralia imported bumblebees from Eng
land and set them free in their clover
fields Before tho arrival of the bees
clover did not flourish in Australia,
but after their coming the farmers had
no moro difficulty OH that score. Mr..
Darwin had shown that bumblebees
were the only insects fond of clover nee
tar which possessed proboscis suffi-
GENTLY long TO reach the bottom of the
long, tubelike flowers and ar the same
time body heavy enough to bend down
the clover head so that the pollen would
fall Oh tho insects back aud thus be
carried off to fertilize other flowers of
the same species. According to writer
in Popular Science News. the humble.
bees sent to Australia cost the farmers
there about half a dollar apiece, but
they proved to be worth the price.
