Willing to Quit.

a good story is told of an interview
Of W. II. H. Bingham with one Of the
State boarders at Windsor. Some Of
the prisoners were at work lathing the
guard room during recent official
visit Of the Governor, and the latter
was inspecting the progress Of the
work. After contemplating the pro.
cess for a few minutes, Governor
Bingham remarked: "See here, my
man, you are laying those laths toe
near together; that sort Of work will
never do" The prisoner calmly laid
down his implements and said: "Gov.
ernor, I am willing to be turned of
and discharged if my work don't suit:
I never applied for this job or the
situation, and if my work isn't salts.

offer was not accepted.

Effect OF Drink on Health.

MIDDLETON, Conn, June 9.-'lhc
first official announcement of the re-
suits OF Prot. Atwate1's experiments on
the value OF alcohol as Il food was made
to-day in q circular issued by the Mid
dletOn Scientific Association.
Prof. Atwater, of Wesleyan College,
is the United States expert on alcohol,
and his elaborate experiments we're
made with the greatest scientific accu-
racy.
They prove that two ounces of alco-
hol taken in twenty-four hours have
no bad effect OH a man. More than
two ounces act as a poison.
These particular experiments were
conducted under the auspices of q COM
mittee of fifty for the investigation Of
the drink problem, OF which committee
the chairman is Seth Low, president OF
Columbia University and delegate to
the Peace Congress at The Hague.
They establish the fact that two ounces
(four tablespoonfulls) of alcohol in
twenty-four hours, and no more, sup
ply the human body with fuel to pro-
duce heat and muscular power-that is,
act as food, not as an intoxicant.
Prof. Atwater experlmented with
persons who have drank moderately,
and with those who "never tasted a
drop" The results were the same. All
doses below two ounces in twenty-four
hours produced no bad effect; at the
end of the day there was no trace of
alcohol on the breath, the body was in
the normal condition, and the alcohol
was completely oxidized, having been
turned into heat.
AS soon as Prof. Atwater learned
that more than two ounces were harm
full, he went no further in that. direc-
tion. He had no desire to learn how
much he can drink without hurting
him.
Prof. AtMater will tell of his exneri-

For a Hardy Orange.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-The agri-
cultural department, which has been
experimenting to produce sweet or
ange that will stand the frosts that
have repeatedly swept the orange belt
in Florida, has progressed to the point
of budding the oranges so secured on
growing trees in Florida. DIR. Webber
of the division Of vegetable pathology
has just gone to Florida, taking with
him the regular number Of the new
plants. The hardy orange evolved by
the department is at present termed
the "Trifoliata orange" It has been
produced by breeding the pollen Of the
sweet orange into the buds Of the
Japanese trifoliata, and vice versa.
The trifoliata grows as far north as
Philadelphia, but bears no fruit worth
mentioning, though it is a vegetable
cousin OF the sweet orange. Seed
lings from the hybrids so far produced
promise to give an exceedingly hardy
and valuable fruit producing tree. DR..
Webber's mission in Florida is to bud
quantity of these seedlings on live
orange trees. This, it is hoped, will
give definite results several years soon
er than if the department. waited for
the hybrid seedlings to mature and
bear.
The departments experiment will
be assisted by number of Florida
growers and the work will be extend
ed north in time as far as Washington.
Precautions are being taken to keep
the new hybrids thoroughly in control
of the department to prevent worth
less or.inferior varieties being put on
the market. When the work has pro-
crossed sufficiently the new varieties
will be distributed through the regular
channels.

Wood Cotton.

WASHINGTON, June Is. - Consul
Mahin, of Reichenberg, Austria, un-
der date Of April 21st, quotea an &C.
count in local newspaper Of process
for making artificial cotton from the
wood Of fir trees. It appears that Che
wood is reduced to thin shavings,
which are placed in washing appara-
tus exposed to the influence Of steam
fox ten hours. They are then subject
ed 20 strong preparation Of sodium
lye aud are heated under great pres
sure for thirty-six hours. The wood
is now changed to pure cellulose, and
to give this greater resisting power
some castor oil, caffeine and gelatine
are added. The substance is then put
into an apparatus and made into
threads, which are reeled.
The article concludes: Artificial
cotton can be produced SO cheaply
that the genuine article can hardly
compete with it and one cannot say
that is sham, for it is composed, ex-
actlyas the natural cotton, Of pure
cellulose.'
Mr.. Mahin adds: .'In a country
such as this, where forests Of fir trees
abound and are made perennial con-
slant replanting as the large trees are
cut down and where all the cotton
used in the numerous factories must
be brought from far India and the
United States, SUCK device should
be profitable.
