HOW TO BUILD a BODY.

One of the most important discov-
cries of late is the application of the
right kind of food to rebuild the lost
substances of the body, thrown off by
the active, nervous work of Amer
leans.
Careful investigation by experts in
food and diatetics has brought out the
fact that albumen, which is contained
in various foods, is acted upon by
phosphate of potash, not such as OBJ
tanned in the drug stores, but such as
is found in certain parts of the field
grains in most minute particles, ar
ranged in natures laboratory, not
mans.
The part of the grains containing
phosphate of potash is used in the
manufacture SOf Grape-Nuts food,
therefore the active, nervous, pushing
brain worker can feed the body with
food that goes directly to the rebuild
ing of the broken down gray matter
in the brain, solar pleXus and nerve
centers, all over the body, with the
result that the individual who re-
freshes and rebuilds the BODY with
proper material of this sort, obtains
y definite result, which he can feel
and know of and which is apparent to
his friends.
A vigorous brain and nervous sys-

sparrow carriers.

A man in Georgia some time ago.
caught some sparrows and trained
them so that he can open their cage
and they will fly back again without
any other inducement than the love of
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mineR
that sparrows could be trained to do.
the work Of carrier pigeons, and that,
as they were smaller, they could be
more valuable in case of war. He
gave one of his sparrows to friend
who was going distance Of one hum
bred and fifty miles, and told him to
free the bird when he had reached the
end of his journey, and at the same
time to telegraph him when he did so.
The bird reached home and went df-
rect to its cage, making the journey i'm
q little over an hour and half.

Hermits and Fiddlers.

Of all the many oddities, none seem
ed stranger to me than the fiddler and
hermit crabs, which are found almost.
everywhere on the salt water shore.
The fiddler is pert little creature
which delights in parading about
when the tide is out and the sandy
bottom is free for him to travel over
It is sometimes three inches long, gen..
orally considerably less, and it gets it's
name from the fact that it has two
very disproportioned claws, one OF
which is three times as large as the
other, so large, indeed, that you won
der how the little fellow manages too
carry it about. Whether the crab is
at rest or travelling, the claws, big and
little, are held aloft, and this position
gives them the decidedly comical ap-
pearance of fiddling.
All are fiddling, and all are, SO to-
speak, dancing for they keep moving
about on the sand, although far from
rhythmically. They look as if they
had nothing to do, but if you observe
carefully you will find that they are.
picking up particles Of food. Some
times two crabs may be seen pulling
and hauling at the same scrap, and
they act much like a pair of boys en-
gagged in tussle over plaything. If
you wish to put the whole assemblage
to flight you will have to rush In, and
presto! the whole collection disappears
in a manner to surprise the beholder-
Then we discover that there are thou
sands of little burrows in which these,
diminutive crustaceans live on the
shore sands. At low water on the sea-
shore at Cedar Key have seen thou
sand fddlers at one time, but Ii you
walk over the strip there will not be.

NAvY's GREAT TESTING TANK.
Place Where the Miniature Models Of Bat
tie Ships Are Tried.

AT the great navy yard in Washing
ton, D. G., is singular building re-
Gently constructed over tank or bas-
in In which are to be tOwed through
the water the miniature models OF
projected battleships. 1t is q gigantic
structure, 500 feet long and 80 feet
wide, with crystal roof 60 feet above
the basin, and its exterior of simmer
ing white gives it some resemblance
to the buildings of the Columbian Elk
position. 1t is generation since the
first experimental tank was built In
England, but it was found so fruitful
In suggestions and demonstrations for
the benefit Of the navy that Russia
and France shortly followed suit
Americans will be glad to know that
this tank, just completed and about to-
be inaugurated, is the largest ever
built, and that the equipments and
devices are much more elaborate and
complete than ever before installe6
anywhere
The interior of this building is novel
in it's details. The tank is few feet
narrower than the building, and some
fifty feet shorter, ranging In depth
from five to twenty feet Immediately
above it, stretching across it's entire
width, is a vast steel travelling crane
or carriage, supported upon wheels,
which runs on a single rail at each
side of the building the whole length
of the tank. This traveller will draw
the model boats, and is capable of a.
speed of twenty miles an hour, or can
be slowed down to a speed of only 300
feet an hour. 1t is propelled by cleo
tricity, and is under minute and ac-
curate control of the engineer, who
stands above the motor.
On the platform at one end of the
tank are two models of future ships
awaiting a test of their form and fric-
tional resistance. They bear little re-
semblance to the midget toy models
on exhibition in the corridors of the
navy department, for instead Of being
four or five feet long like them. these
are twelve to twenty feet long or on a.
scale of one inch to foot. They are
constructed in the finest style of the,
cabinet makers art, of matched cedar,
highly vanished, to insure speedy
passage through the water. Gin for
eign tanks boats are made of paraf-
fine) During the test these boats are
to be heavily ballasted, SO as to make.
them draw as much water in proper
ton as will the ships of which they
are the prototypes when laden with
armor, guns and equipments. The en-
gineer in charge will be provided on
the travelling carriage which draws the
boats with delicate machinery for
measuring their speed, weight and the
various dynamic forces involved; and
submarine water pipes are arranged
to roughen the surface of the tank soa
as to give an approximate imitation OF.
a storm at sea.-Leslie's Weekly.
