SCIENCE OF EATING.
Some Advice for People Who Want to
Get Fof.

Some Advice for People Who Want to
Get Fat.
Here is good advice to thin people
who want to grow fat, says Pearson's
Weekly. 1t seems contrary to all u
early training, but 1t is full Of good
common sense, and comes from a
prominent physician. His suggestions
are as follows: IF you are thin and;
want to put flesh on your bones, eat
before going to bed for the night.
Physiology teaches us that there is q
wasting away of tissues while a per-
son sleeps as we'll as when he is awake
and, this being so, there should be
continuous nourishment. Food taken
at dinner or in the early evening L.
always digested at the time Of retir-
ing, and the activity of the process Of
assimilation continues until long after
we are asleep. If the tissues are not
nourished they are pulled down by
the wasting process, and as a result
sleeplessness ensues. On a full stom-
ach, however, or with some food to
sustain the system, there is a build
ing up Of the tissue. Man is the only
creature I know of who does not deem
it proper to sleep on a good meal.
The infant, in this respect, instinct
lively cries to be fed at night, showing
that food is necessary during that
time as we'll as through the day and
that, left too long without 1t causes
a discomfort. which it makes known
by crying. There is no need for rest
in the digestive organs provided the
quantity Of food eaten is not above
the normal during the "a hours. Too
long intervals between meals are bad
for the stomach from the fact that the
cessation and resumption of work Of
the digestive organs tend to enfeeble
them. A moderate working Of the or
gans through the "a hours is much
more beneficial. I would advise those
suffering from insomnia to take some
thing to eat before going to sleep al
ways. A glass Of milk and breead or
any digestible food will do" r

ing and RenovstinE Churches.
Insect powders and "bug-sect-knock-
out-drops" accomplish their purpose
fairly we'll, but leave behind unpleas-
ant odors and a great deal Of work for
the sexton to do in gathering up and
removing the corpses. Besides. many
insects escape the poison. 1t has been
discovered that the appetite Of the bat
coupled with its powerful darkness
piercing eyes guarantees a surer re-
moval of these pests. Prof. Clifton F.
Hodge Of Clark University found by
experimenting with bats that they ate
everything from a spider to a polyph-
emus moth. so numerous in churches.
When seen the other day by a repre-
sentative OF the Church Economist, DR..
Hodge told of his experiments at
Clark, and how churches might profit
ably domesticate these animals. His
attention was called to bats through
the Goblin moth, which eats into ap-
pies and other kinds Of fruit. He said:
I'm an orchard "a my home I found
nine of the grubs of this insect in a
minute. I went to another orchard
near by and found only four Of the
grubs in az hours time. In the barn
there were nearly 100 bats. The owner
CT the orchard near by told me that his
apples were always free from worms.
I took a dozen bats home with me and
installed them in the parlor. They
made their home in the folds at the
top of the window draperies. At first
they were wild when any one ap-
preached them, but in time they be-
came tame. They never, however. al
lowed themselves to be handled. At
night, and even during the day, they
would fly about the OOH while per-
sons were present. One evening I re-
leased several nestfuls of night-flying
insects. Not a bug remained in the
morning. One bat devoured, while I
counted, sixty-eight flies. In a short
time there was not a fly in the house.
not a cobweb on the walls" Bats fire.
quent many churches, and it is found
that they keep the walls free from cob
webs, and the absence Of other insects
is noted. DR.. Hodge suggests the do
mesticating Of these animals In
churches where roosts can be provided
for them, SO that during the services
they can be Gagged up. Insects Of every
description constitute the food for
them. They could be allowed to be
free during the six week days.

MYSTERY OF BALKAN BIRscH.

Fifty Years Ago It Was the Sensation
of the Day.
"The mystery Of BALKAN Birch was
a sensation in the early forties," vol
unteered an old resident to a Wash
ington Star reporter, land though it
was cleared up in a week or so, It
proved to be a very lively u as long
as it lasted. Balaam Birch was a we'll
known carpenter. He was last seen at
the corner of Fifth and F streets one
afternoon during a heavy rainstorm.
| From that moment all traces of him
were removed as completely as If he
was swallowed up in the ground.
Hundreds engaged in the search for
him, and all kinds of stories were put
into circulation as to his disappear
ance. Every house and yard in that
part of the city was thoroughly
| searched, without result, citizens gen.
orally joining the local police force IN
the search. He was seen by several on
Fifth street at different points between
Louisiana venue and G street, though
last seen,% according to a comparison Of
time, near the corner of Fifth and. F
streets. The mystery was how he
could so suddenly disappear in broad
daylight. During that time, and for
many years after, a stream of water
ran through judiciary square, which
connected with Tiber creek, which was
very materially increased by sudden
transforms, and though the SUPPOSE
ton most generally INDUCED in was
that he had fallen in the stream and
had been taken down to Tiber creek,
and from there to the canal, it took a
search of a week to prove it. It proved
| to be the correct theory, however, for

Made to Keep the Matter a Secret.

ton almost directly over the gun not
the slightest vapor nor flash could be
detected. Only when it was wheeled
over an open stretch of ground and
away from all foliage could the gun
itself be seen.
Similar firing tests have been made
before on dummy figures and balloons
at Chalons. But nothing has ever
equaled the. destroying power of this
new quick-firing gun that can neither
be seen nor heard.
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1899-04-15

and only a slight Kissing sound from
the discharge of the gas through the
small holes. The recoil was also less
ened.
The French ministry of war at once
acquired the right to adopt Colonel
Humbert's invention.
The Spanish-American war showed
the immense advantage of rapid-fire
smokeless powder guns. This sug-
gested to the French committee of ar
tillery to apply Colonel Humbert's at
tachment to their new rapid-fire
smokeless powder cannon. The result
Is the present matchless artillery piece.
An effort is being made to keep the
matter a secret, and all French army
officers are jealousy guarding it. But
it had already become known by the
mistake of first refusing the invention
and allowing Colonel Humbert to get a
public patent of it.
When Colonel Humbert first set him
self to solve the problem of noise and
flame in a gun he considered the
causes of these. things.
The noise is due to the sudden expul-
sion of the gases of the exploded gun
powder following the bullet and the
return of the air to the barrel.
The flame is due to the gases being
set fire to by the heat. If the barrel
could be closed at the moment the pro-
jectile left it there could be no noise.
This is just what his invention accom-
plished by its valve arrangement. The
flame which came from the mouth of
the gun occurred inside the passages OF
the tube, making 1t invisible.
The device can also be used on a
rifle. 1t is a mere nut that can be
screwed on the muzzle in a minute.
But in this CASE it is a ball instead of a
valve that rises and prevents the
escape of the gas. Rifles equipped in
this way r intended for sharpshoot-
ers.
The effect of a battery of noiseless,
f1ameless and smokeless field guns and
a company or sharpshooters with rifles
of the anne sort would be as democrat
izing to an enemy for the panic they
would be likely to create as for their
destructiveness.
Soldiers are trained to fight an en-
envy they can see and their blood is
