ARTIFICIAL ALBUMEN.

Chemists Still Excited by the Dis
cOvsry of LilienfeId
LONDON, Aug 1.-THE alleged dis
covery of the means of producing al
bumen in the chemical laboratory still
excites the widespread attention of
chemists, physicians and the general
public. Herr Lilienfeld is not ready to
disclose his secret until it is protected
by patents In the meantime the Lam
Get says:
'If the synthesis of albumen has ac-
tually been accomplished, that alone
will be fact of immense Importance
in physiological chemistry, but that
such, an accomplishment is going to
revolutionize the practical food cues
ton no psychologist or sensible man
will be prepared to accept in the slight
est degree as probable. Pure albumen
is already manufactured on large
scale, fairly cheaply, and, though the
manufacture has been going on for
years, albumen pure and simple has
not found a decided place in dietetics.
nor has it been proposed to substitute
it for the ordinary articles of food.
1T is absurd to think that the time
will come when we can carry about a
complete meal or a dietetic outfit for
a day in the shape of a thimblefuI of
powder. Animal economy requires 9TH
er things and attributes besides the
mere elements concerned in making
good the waste of tissues in the body"

WAINWRIGHTS FEAT.
1t ArGuses the Admiration of For
eign Naval Experts.

eign Naval Experts.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Nothing else in the war, net even the herjic
sinking of the Meirimac, Interested and de-
lighted the great bulk of English people 50
much as Lieutenant Commander Wainwright's
extraordinary performance with the Glou-
cester. English naval history is enormous in
bulk and thickly studded with remarkable
achievements, but it contains nothing at all
resembling this. People talk about it end
lessly. with mingled amusement and wonder.
Doubtless they enjoy it the more because it
completes and emphasizes the dtScom1 .ure
Of the group OF solemnly omniscent news
paper naval experts who made such goats Of
themselves in the London press at the Begin
ming OF the war. Practically everything these
wise folks said has been falsifed by events,
but in nothing else were they so conspicu-
oUsly wrong as about the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers.
According to these so-called experts. these
terrible destroyers quite made up for Spanish
inferiCrity in battlsships. Some were c3n-
tent to say that they equalized the naval
forces OF the two combatants. Others ms St
ed that they put America at disadvantage.
These, being a country where everything
naval is of intense naval interest the gem
eral public not only read, but remembered
upon them public complaints that the Brit
ish admiralty did not hasten to build more
of these marvellous destroyers.
Then comes the grotesque ant-climax OF
two of them s.ngle-handed, dismantling and
chasing them in half-sinking helplessness
upon the rocks. John Bull could not nave

and hope not to have it again, The country
here Is beautiful, and don't think the climate
at all bad The bay of Santiago is the most
beautiful in the world. The coasts are grand,
the mountains rising straight up from the
water. The bay itself is like panorama.
One thing that Is remarkable is that the
Spaniards Just fooled our navy about their
defenses. AS a matter OF fact, they only had
two guns and two mortars (modern) to de-
fend the whole harbor. MORO is an old stone
concern, with only the most ancient style OF
armament and very little Of that. The water
battery, of which much was said, was as
dangerous as scene in a theater, a small
embrasured and castellated work full Of
weeds. And the mines and torpedoes are no
longer mentioned. About an hour after the
surrender a tug, followed by all or many Of
our transports, steamed into the harbor with
OUT pilot even, and no one has said mine
OF torpedo since. 1t was clean case OF bluff
me utility of bombardment is now fully
recognized, and If in the future any one talks
anout heet boInbarding New York or Min

old stone stairs leading to the water. You

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
Fifty years ago the allowance of paint in
the British navy was very small and some
times the officers had to pay large sums in
order that their ships might maintain de-
cent appearance One of them resorted to a
humorous expedient, either to soften the heart
of the navy board, or, if that proved impos-
sible, to express his opinion. Sir John Phil
limore painted one side of his old yellow
frigate black and white. and used the rest of
the black paint in printing on the other side,
in large letters, mo more paint" The navy
board wrote to call his attention to the i'm
proprety of his conduct. and signed them
selves, as they did officially, Your Affection
ate friends" To this Sir John replied that
he could not obliterate the Objectionable let
tiers unless he was given more paint. and
signed himself. in turn, "Your affectionate
friend, John Phillimore. The navy board
then called his attention to the improperly
Of the signature, to which Sir John replied
acknowledging the letter, stating that he re-
GREETED that the paint had not been sent
and ending: 81 am no longer your affection

was allowed to retain her original yellow.
