POETRY AND SCIENCE.
4 Blank Verse Description of the
subtle Magnetic FIuid

Philosophers and physicists are com
monty supposed TO be too deeply en-
crossed in dry facts and figures TO have
time for the poetical Interpretation of
science, but the definition of electricity
given TO an inquiring young woman by
the late Guiileo Ferrnris is direct CON
tradiction of this. To her question he
answered:
Since Maxwell has demonstrated
that The vibrations of light might CON
sist of periodical changes of electro
magnetic forces, and as Hertz has given
MaNwell's theory an experimental basis
with his proof of the similarity existing
between electromagnetic waves and
light waves, the belief becomes more
and more firmly established that this
light-couvcying ether and the medium
in which the electric and magnetic
forces act are identical. Therefore |
may well reply to the question, o stud-
Gus and charming maidcs: What is
cEestricity?' that it is not only the fear
ful agent which at times lights up the
heavens suddenly and staI-tles the soul
with its loud clapping of thunder, but
also the lifc-giving and life-awaEenine
cnnse which, as light and heat, brings
forth the magic color and the breath of
life, which transmits to thy heart the
pulsations of the universe and awakens
in thy soul the charm of glance and
smiles"

chair in the cozy car and dashed out on

A DOUBT AS TO BREAD.
Is 1t the STAFF of Life or the Promoter
of Deaths

The subject of bread as the cause OF
disease and death is just now engaging
the attention of European scientists. 1t
is even alleged by some OF the writers,
that bread is the most prolific cause of
disease and death to be found in the
catalogue of foods" Ii this be true
then the staff of life" is in reality the
"staf of death" If this be true then
the less bread we eat the longer viii
we live. But is it true?
There is reason in part of the de-
ductlons drawn by some of these ca
lannity writer's" said DR.. Hayes. Of the
medieal staff of the pension office. to
Star reporter, but like all fads, this
one ABOUT the dangerin the use Of bread
in or dietary will have it's day ana
the give way to some other Sensational
ide" about the food we eat. One writer
on the subject states: Since whcatea
bread contains from 35 to 70 per cent.
OF starch, aud it is acknowledged that
starchy food is unhealthy, therefore the
use of suci bread is unhealthy The
reason givh for this unhca,tlfulness
is that statthy food is not d'gestcd in
the stomaci, but in the intssiines or
second stoml Yen Of the body, and therein
lies the diliitlty of digestion of wheat
en- bread
The t.utl is that the stomach is
only fractlnal part of the digestive
tract, and t!l second stomach or in
tcstinal tract is called on to aid the
digestion of nj farly all varieties OF foods.
So the argum Mt that starchy food, like
bread, is bard Of digestion falls to the
ground. Oni objector to the use OF
bread says 'Iread from wheaton flour
when cousidFed in reference to the
amount Of md ritiOus matter it contains,
may with jultice be called the staff of
life, but in tegard to the amount of
earthly matter it contains with equal
justice we GIN say that it is the staff

There is some sense and reason in
this argument, especially with the aged
or tho9e past middle life. The young in
growi4g and the adult in the vigor

bread, as the carbonates. the phcs-
