COST OF A LOAF OF BREAD.
Result of Series of Investigations
by Prof. Snyder, of
Minnesota

An interesting contribution to a Sc
ries of publications being issued by the
department Of agriculture, embracing
Investigations into the food nd nutri-
ton of man, has been made by Prof.
Harry Snyder, of the Minnesota agri-
cultural college. The paper contributed
by Prof. Snyder relates the expert
ments made at the Minnesota univer-
sity in breadmaking. The average
pound Loaf of fresh bread as sold by
bakers, says the professor, weighed on
an average about one pound one ounce.
A pound loaf of bread can be made from
about three-quarters of a pound of
flour, about Is per cent. of water being
added to the flour during the process
of breadmaking. With some -four five
to ten per cent. more water can be abb
sorbed, making a greater weight of
bread from given weight of flour.
This additional weight is water and
not nutrients. At two cents pound
for flour, it is estimated by Prof Sny-
der that pound loaf of bread can be
made, not counting fuel and abor, for
about two cents, one-half cent being
allowed for shortening and yeast. The
loss of dry matter in breadmaking is
usually considered as amounting to
about two per cent. of the -four used.
In exceptional cases, as in prolonged
fermentation. under favorable condi-
lions the losses may amount to eight
per cent. or more.

GROWTH OF A NEW INDUSTRY.
The Manufac ture nf Opa1escent Glass
In This Country Is Making
Rapid Strides.

The progress of the opalescent glass
industry in this country has been so
marked that glass is now sent abroad
to compete with the fine foreign work
of that kind, which is done principally
in Belgium, says the Buffalo Express.
There are three plants in this country
one at New Rochelle, n. j., another at
Kokomo, Ind, and third at Ottawa, III.
The Partisan who founded the plant
at New Rochelle went to Kokomo ten
years ago. This man was dependent
upon his chemist for the work the es-
tablishment turned out and when the
chemist died the secret of the processes
survived in his student. jerome NJ.
FRANCHISE, Belgian. The young man
in the course of time induced local cap
italists to back him up in buying the
plant. The enterprise succeeded so we'll
that two years ago some of the beauti-
full colored glass was sold in Dresden.
Since then the export trade has grown
constantly. Now four car loads are
on their way to Europe, one going to
Germany, two to Paris and one to Flor
ence. The success that has attended
this industry is particularly gratifying
because it has been said so frequently
that, while the United States may excel
In machine work of many kinds, prod
ucts of an artistic character still be-
long to Europe. This probably is true
in certain lines, but the element of art
is forcing it's way into the workman

A DESPERATE RIDE.
The Man Who Rode Down Mount Tom
on a Bicycle Describes the
Thrilling Experience.

The fearful ride of Michael Lannon,
of Springfield, Mass, down the sides of
Mount Tom on a bicycle still continues
to excite comment. Not one man in
hundred could go through Mr.. Ian
mons experience and come out of 1T
alive. Lannon, however, although Sc
verely injured, is still living and will
likely recover, but he will always bear
the marks of his daring experiment,
says the Cycling Gazette.
The down grade of the path down
which Lannon rode averages about 10
feet to the 100. Regarding the ride,
Lannon said: II have only been riding
this season, and have never tried such
a hill, but l thought [ would have no
trouble backpedaling. Once started,
however, the pedals almost threw me
into the air as they came up. Suddenly
my feet slipped and the ride began L
was going like mad in an instant.
when | passed Mcdonald he yelled
to me to throw myself, but would as
soon have thrown myself from bal
loon. l yelled back: Which way does
the road turn?' But | must have been
out OF sight by that time. At any rate,
it made little difference. All that L
could do was to sit in the saddle. The
run was one series of tremendous leaps.
The machine flew up in the air, and it
seemed, sometimes, that it would never
land. [ was completely unnerved, not
knowing what | should meet at the bot
tom of the hill. There was a group of
girls coming up the hill, and had pres
ence of mind enough to yell at them. AS
they scattered [ saw beyond them tie
turn at the bottom. 1t was absolutely
impossible for me to make it, however,
and [ flew straight ahead off bank of
loose stones and crashed on to the
ground. ] felt as if my head was being
driven on to spikes, and that was all
knew"

Occur d'Alene miners in the federal

This morning the examination of the

mill, and that TO do this the miners con-
spireu to hold trains and to do any
other act to accomplish their purpose;
that the stopping Of the mail train was
concerted in n prearranged incident and
was IA part OF he conspiracy.
An important witness was Thomas
Ames, A member Of he Wardncr union.
He stated that he was awakened early
on the morning Of April 29, ana was
told there would be a meeting Of the
union in the miners hall He was told
afterward that there would be no meet
ing, but to be on hand at the depot with
his bundle Of working clothes, as the
train was coming with the other min
ers and the union men would board it.
He did not know for what purpose, but
he was afterward told not to go, as his

LITTLE NEWS FROM NATAL,

Each Side Alleges Atrocious Methods
ON the Part Of the Other.
LONDON, oct. 2s-Lul in news from
Ladysmi,h, which was beginning
to be regarded as ominous, has at last
been broken by Cape Town dispatch
under this mornings date, saying;
Scouts from Modderspruit, having
reported Beers In force on the Help
mukar road, General White ordered out
strong force OF artillery, mounted In
rantry and cavalry A small patrol Of
mounted infantry was shelled by Beers
nine miles from Ladysmith, and the
Boer position was finally located three
miles beyond ModdeBpruit, The Brit
ish force Is now four miles from the
Beers"
The dispatch does not give the date
of the above occurrence, but 1t must
have been since Thursday, when the
last news arrived from Ladysmith. The
Boer advance from Dundee southward
and from Besters station eastward
evidently proceeded steadily in the In
terim, and the engagement toreshad-
owed by the above dispatch may al
ready have been fought.
The other news from the front does
not enlighten the situation in Natal,
Fragnentary details are arriving Of the
Occupation of Dundee by the Beers. It
is added that 20 men of the town
guard occupied an outpost a couple Of
miles from the town when Boer shell
dlslodged them, and the men fed to a

rounded them and shot the majority

LONDON. DOT. 2s.-The South Atri-
can war has now been In progress near
ly three weeks. and so far the British
arms have been consistently crowned
with momenlary successes, though at a
cost which verines President Krugers
prediction that the conflict would stag
ger humanity,
But though victory has fallen TO
Great Britain whenever and wherever
issues were OF paramount importance,
General Whites position today Is
scarcely more reassurins than at the
outbreak OF the war. So far, he has
only shown his ability to outwlt by
strategy the Beers strategy. That, in
Its conception. meets high praise from
tire British military critics.
Now he appears TO have reached the
limit Of this game OF war by which he
was able to prevent the massing Of
the Roer columns. and he must either
meet the enemy's combined forces or
retreat.
II is the feeling that General White
intends to held Lddysmith against su-
perior numbers that creates uneasIness,

result can be achieved over the Beers
