quarters Of pound OF flour, about q

Ing. With some fours ) TO 10 per cent
more water can be absorbed. making
greater weight of bread from a given
weight of flour. This additional weight
is water and not nutrients.
At cents n pound for -four it is es-
timated by the professor that a pound
loaf of bread can be made. not count

half cent being allowed for shortening

breadmaking is usually considered as
amounting To about per cent of the
flour used. In exceptional cases, as in

bic conditions the losses may amount
to per cent or more.

The Most Ancient Machine Tool.

There can be very little doubt tina,
the potter's wheel, or potters lathe, as
1t Is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form OF machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so wildly represent the customs
and habits Of the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted, and It Is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type Of lathe has under
gone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently q
small, round table set on a pivot and
free TO revolve, being turned by hand
at intervals. and TO this device there
were added in the course of time such
simple conveniences as a table to SUD-
port it and foot or a hand power turn
ing arrangement, displaced In recent
years In possibly a few isolated cases
by actual engine power driving In
general use, however, the potter's
wheel OF the present time bears all the
characteristics of the one which, 1000
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attestlng indispensable taste
