King Leopold II. the royal roue OF
Belgium, had a somewhat funny adven-
ture the other day at Ostend. AS is
we'll known, the king Of the Belgians
has had and is still having certain al
flares d'armour. This, perhaps, &C.
counted for a Liegois. who never saw
Princess Clementine, saying, "Hullo,
the king has a new girl" Leopold,
who heard the words, blushed scarlet,
while the princess, who was leaning
on her fathers arm, looked extremely
awkward.

WHAT ALOAF OF BREAD COSTS
Result of Series of Investigations by
Professor Snyder.

%
Professor Snyder.
An interesting contribution to Sc
ries of publications being issued by the
department Of agriculture embracing
investigations into the food and nutri-
ton of man, has been made by Prof.
Harry Snyder of the Minnesota Agri-
cultural college. The paper contrib
uted by Prof. Snyder relates the ex-
periments made at the Minnesota uni
versity in bread making. 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 -four, about rs per cent of wa
ter being added to the -four during the
process of bread making. With some
-four 5 to 10 per cent more water can
be absorbed, making greater weight
of bread from given weight Of flour.
This additional weight is water and
not nutrients. At cents a pound for
-four, it is estimated by Prof. Snyder
that a pound loaf can be made, not
counting fuel and labor, for about
cents, one-half cent being allowed for
shortening and yeast. The loss of dry
matter in bread making is usually con-
sidered as amounting to about 2 per
cent of the -four used. In exceptional
cases, as in prolonged fermentation,
under favorable conditions the loss
may amount to s per cent or more.

Fish That Die Failing Upward.


The officers Of the cable steamer
Nina, which is now endeavoring In
midocean to locate and repair a
broken cable $500 feet below the sur
face of the water. state that their In
struments show the bottom OF the
ocean to have a temperature below the
freezing point, and that there Is
total absence of light. The officers say
that a great many of the deep-sea fish
are so peculiarly constructed that they
often lose their lives by chasing the
instruments toward the surface. They
die by what experts call falling up
ward" AS soon as they get out %.
their accustomed level the decreased
pressure extends the air within them
and the fish shoot to the surface, but
are dead before they reach that point.

SEISMIC DISTURBANCE.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 25.-At day
break this morning severe earthquake
shock was felt over large portion of
southern California. The undul4tions
lasted twelve seconds. The entire CEN
ter of the shock appeared to have been
al San Jacinto, small town in River
side city. The business portion of San
Jacinto consists of two blocks of two
story buildings, some of which are
built of brick. Ten or fifteen buildings
were damaged, chimneys being toppled
over and walls cracked and shaken. The
total damage at San Jacinto and Hemit,
a small town near by, is estimated at
$4,000. The large tourist hotel at He
nit was damaged and the hospital at
San Jacinto also suffered. The rear
wall of the Johnson block at Hemit
fell. The only loss of life 80 far as
known was at the Saboba Indian re-
servation, where six squaws were
killed by walls. A number of Indians
were seriously injured,
In this city no damage was done,
though the shock was particularly vio-
lent. The houses are well filed with
eastern tourists, and they were in
many instances terrified at the uneX-
pected disturbances and rushed from
their rooms. At San Diego high
wave struck the ocean beach front soon
after the shock, but no damage was
done to shipping.

Or ever called on me.
Oh, what delight to sit and gaze
Over the wastes OF snow,
Quite sure no form would cross the space
Either of friend or foe.

Nor even the pDstman's ring,
The cards aud invitations piled
That he is sure to bring.
Yea, could pay my calls and see
