food Value oil Fruits

DR.. Dupoury, French physician,
considers in nu article printed in
Paris journal the hygienio value o!
fruits. While he comedies to them IN
important place in nlimentatiop, ho
deprecates their nutritive importance.
To sustain his contention he quote,
Brillet-Savarin, who fluids it difficult
In our present state of civilization to
| imagine people existing exclusively
on fruits and vegetables. Such II PEG.
pie, Sayariu believes, would inevita
bly, succumb to those who ate meat.

have encountered similar fate and
were held IN bondage until they
adopted the food of their conqueroIs,
when they became valiant and agrees.
i've. That meat diet is not always
productive of this result, we have an
example in Highland Eskimos, who
subsist entirely on flesh, but aro
peaceful, unwarlike and gentle to the
highest degree.
DR.. Dupoury divides fruits into five
classes, each of which possesses
special hygienic value-tho acid, the
sweet, the astriDgont, the oily and tho
meaiy. To the first, including cher.
ries, Strawberries, raspberries, goose.
berries, peaches, apples, lemons, and
oranges, he nccords great merit.
Cherries, however, he prohibits en-
tirely to those affected with neuralgia
OF the stomach. Strawberries and
raspberries he recommends warmly to
those OF bilious, plethoric and equity
Compartments, and denies them to
those in whom diabetes is present or
suspected. OF the sweet fruits he
considers that plums ara of special
hygeuic value, and even preventive
CT gout and Articular rheumatism.
70 the grape he accords the very first
place. AS this is the season for that
fruit, his remarks thereon are partic-
llarly applicable. He is an ardent
advocate of what in Europe is called
the grape cure. In this cure grapes
for several days form the exclusive
alIment. The patient commences
with the consumption OF from one to
two pounds daily, with a gradual in
crease to eight or ten pounds. After
few days of this diet marked i'm
provement in the general health is
noticeable. The appetite improves,
the digestion becomes easy and rapid
and increased capacity to Withstand
Inc fatigue OF outdoor exercise is
noticeable. The grape cure is par.
ticularly recommended to the rnaemic.

Electricity in War.

Who Will say that electricity may
not yet be brought into use to turn
aside even the heaviest projectiles that
may be sent hurting from tho largest
and most accurately aimed modern
guns?
At an experiment with army rifles
near Berne, Switzerland, it was found
that all the bullets went wido of the
targets. Investigation showed that,
parallel to the range, and Mt n short
distance from it, there was an electric
line, which had caused the bullets to
dciicct from their course. In order to
test the matter, the military authori.
ties laid four steel cables at distance
Of about forty yards from the range,
which was a little less than 800 yard,
yards ia length. The cables we're then
charged with n strong current and the
firing was resumed. IT was then as.
certniued that the detection for the
distance, $50 feet, was about seventy
feet; when longer range was used the
detection was proportionately in.
creased. In some experiments with
artillery at range of 5000 yards i
was found that the detection amounted
to no less than fourteen degrees.

Tho forests of Canada have supplied

centuries. From the earliest days Of
its occupation by the French, tho
forest wealth OF the country washed

teution OF the Government OF France,
who saw therein vast resources avail
able for their naval yards. They drew
from these forests large numbers Of
masts and spars, an I issued stringent
regulations for the preservation OF the
standing oak. When the country was
hrst coded TO Great Britain but little
attention was paid at first to its vast
timber supply, owing to the fact that
almost the whole of the Baltic trade
was carried on in British bottom,
md that the timber OF Northern Eu-
rope provided an unTaiIing aud con
veuient return freight for the ship
ping thus engaged. When, however,
the troubles of the Napoleonic era
commenced, and especially when tho
continental blockade was enforced,
the timber supplies of the Baltic be.
coming uncertain and insufficient, at
tention was directed to the North
American colonies, with the result of
increasing the quantity OF timber
which reached Great Britain from
1000 tons in the year 1900 to 125, 800
tons IN 1910 and to 30S,00 tons in
1920. In 1895 the amount exported
