Products Of the Peanut.

In Europe this nut has various uses
which are only beginning to be recog-
nized in this country, the first recognl-
ton being that Of a Virginia company
which handles the peanut products. The
principal products are peanut OIL TOE
cooking and table purposes and confec-
toners use, peanut cribble for confec-
tionery, peanut grits for soap, etc. pea
mt flour for baking and peanut bran
for stock feed. The oil is highly valued
in Europe, and it is stated that ful!y
s5. 900, 600 worth of peanuts are brought
into Marseilles annually for the manu-
facture Of oil, which is used IN toilet
soaps and for other purposes. Inc pea
nut -four is quite extensively used II
Europe and is made into bread, CAKES
biscuit, etc. 1t is one Of the fayorlte ar
ticles Of food in the hospitals OF Ger
many. The estimated product OF nv
toms of peanuts amounts to $50 gallon
Of refined oil, at 81 per gallon; 10 gal
Ions of crude oil, at 90 cents; $3.50
nounds of flour and meal, at cents pc
pound; $500 pounds of stock FEED, a
go cents per hundred pounds, making
s4;5. 30 in all. In the mechanical han
| ding of peanuts they are first crushe
and cut between suitable rollers. The
the cut and crushed mass is submitte
to q hot bath for separating the shell
and kernels and finally the kernels al
dried to separate them from their skins

FOOD THAT MAN NEEDS.
A Wise Combination Necessary to Keep
the Body In Order.

A Wise Combination Necessary to Keep
the Body In Order.
Gas in the daily wear and tear OF
life a great deal Of the substance OF
mans body is used up, it is absolutely
necessary that the repair to the body be
carefully and Systematically looked aft
er," writes Mrs s. T. Rorer in The
Ladies' Home Journal. Then, too,
man must create heat and force, accord
ing to the climate in which he lives and
the occupation he follows. A wise COM
bination of food is, therefore, necessary
to keep the body in working order. In
cold weather we need a larger amount
of carbonaceous foods-fats, sugars and
starches- than we do in summer. In
the hot climates and during the hot
months fruit and green vegetables. con-
tanning the salts necessary to keep the
blood in good condition, should be used
freely.
According to our method OF living
| in this country, we should take about
two parts Of repair food-such as meat,
eggs. milk, cheese, or, in the vegetable
kingdom, the old peas, beans and lentils
Ito three parts of carbonaceous food
such as white bread, potatoes, rice, but
ter, cream and fats Of all kinds. TheI
we must have certain amount Of bulk,
or watery vegetables, such as lettuce
spinach, cabbage, onions and also thu
fruits. In making out daily ration W
should have at the beginning OF tn
meal some light dish that may be takel
slowly, to prepare the stomach for tn
food that is to follow, then meat
its equivalent. With beef we shoul'
serve potatoes; with mutton, rice. Wit
chickens, either rice or potatoes. b"

Exolution of Gunpowder.

The invention Of gunpowder is shown
by Mr.. Oscar Guttmann, In his book ON
the manufacture of explosives, to have
been most probably an evolution. Tne
Greek fire Of naphtha, mentioned py
early European and Arabian writer's, Is
believed to have been composition
containing inter, sulphur and charcoal.
Marcus Grmcus, who wrote in the tenth
century, gives o composition for charg-
| ing rockets and crackers closely ap-
proaching that Of modern blasting pow
der. This recipe is quoted BY Albe1tui
Magnus, and another one, not 70 clear,
| is given by Roger Bacon. None of these
writers, however, speaks of the use o.
such substances in any way like the fir
ing of projectiles from guns. On tnt
contrary, they all describe crackers ant
bombs or maroons, and say that thes'
were discharged into towns from bal
listae or catapults or mangonels Tor tn
purpose Of setting fire to them.
Mr.. Guttmann has found, however, u
the wardrobe accounts Of King EdWar
III of England an entry between A. y
1345 and 1349 giving credit to on
Thomas of Roldeston for the king 8 wor
.. for his guns, for 912 pounds OF saltpete
and 1856 pounds Of live sulphur. LII
, seems to confirm the tradition that guI
were used by the English at the battl
of Crecy in 1916. Mr.. Guttmann decide
that Berthold Schwartz invented IN
!. use Of gunpowder about 1913. II $

THE PERSIAN GULF.

Natural phanomena Which to the Un-

In his address as president OF the
British Institution Of Electrical Engl-

commenced. In the Persian gulf one oc-

which, to the untraveled, might appear
incredible. In the midst OF the noun

Something About the Architecture q
Early New England
Hardly 90 houses In all New Eng
land dating back Of 100 are yet In e.
istenoe, unless in materially trans
formed condition. At best the most Of
them were very rough, box shaped, with
a door In one side and high pitched
roof. to make the snow slide of easily,
and chimney Of prodigious size. A
few years ago the great chimney Of the
house at Boscawen, where General
John A. Dix was born, was torn down
and found to contain $50, 900 of brick.
The chimney Of the Darling house in
this town. destroyed about the same
time. was about a. large. Its removal
movided the house with good sized
additional room. Almost all the seven
teenth century houses were wooden.
though about the Oldest structure IN
New England was built OF stone at
Guilford, Conn, in or near 1888. Exc

10 or II years younger. Exeter had on
" three brick houses dating tar back
into the eighteenth century, and now
has only two, II they still can be called
brick after being covered with wood
and receiving large wooden extensions
These are the Peavy house, on the New.
