NEW BREAD AT PARIS.
From Fresh Floar and Greatly In.
creases Nutrition.

From Fresh Floar and Greatly In.
creases Nutrition.
Among all the exhibits of bread and
breadmaking at the Paris exhibition
the one which interested me most was
a system of milling and baking COM
bined. 1t is well known that all food
substances when ground to fine pow
der have tendency to become oxi-
died. AS Is the case with coffee, which
Is the best when freshly roasted and
freshly ground, SO II is with cereal
flour. which Is never so aromatic or
so nutritious as at the moment when
II is first made. The Schweitzer sys-
TEN, in regard to the milling orpera-
tions, is return to the old system OF
millstones, with the exception that cor
rugated steel grinders take the place
OF the millstones of the olden days,
says the Paris Messenger. These
grinders are SO accurately adjusted as
to admit Of the making of the finest
-four. while avoiding actual contact of
the two grinding surfaces. The sim,
plicity of the apparatus, the cheapness
and the ease with which 1t can be in
stalled commend this system particu-
larly for domestic use and for the sup
ply of villages and small communities.
Nevertheless. 1t is capable OF being op-
Grated on an extensive scale, as Is
demonstrated by the large establish
ment at La Villette, Paris. where more
than 100000 pounds Of bread are made
per day from -four not more than "a
hours old. Chemical analysis shows
that the -four made according to the
Schweitzer system has more than
twice as much phosphate material as
that made by the ordinary roller proc
ess. The Importance of this fact in
respect to nutrition should not be lost
sight of. and we must admit that nu,
triton, not whiteness of color. is the
principal object OF bread-making.

Optical rhspou en-. o, the SKY.

Professor G. F. Straddling, in con,
tinuation of his course on light at the
Wagner Free Institute OF Science,
spoke on THE Optical Phenomena OF
the Sky" says the Philadelphia Times.
Professor Stradling described and ex-
planned the rainbow, the color of the
sky. coronas, halos and the mirage. In
speaking of the color OF the sky. he
said: When light falls upon a sur
face which is large in comparison with
the wave length. all waves are reflect
ed equally. II, on the other hand, the
flecting surface IL small in comparison
with the wave length the short waves
will be more reflected than the long
waves. When sunlight falls on the
air, which always has small particles
suspended in it, the longer waves. the
yellow and red. pass through and the
shorter waves are reflected. Hence
the sky is blue by reflected light, vary
ing in color with the dimensions of the
suspended particles. The longer the
path of the light through the air. the
farther towards the red end Of the
spectrum does the coloy of the trans
mitted light move. For this reason
the colors at sunrise and sunset are
so vivid. The scattering effect Of par
ticles explains the blush color Of dis
tant objects. the color Of the sea, the
opal. of soapy water and watered
milk"

James Harold, veteran of the po-

the retired list four years ago, was
seated on a bench in Portsmouth

Migrants who jpfest that quarter. The

ton, for you are the first visitor we
have had to stay in the house for
years"
Mrs. Dynevor's welcome was almost
motherly in its goodness, but it was
Harold's greeting which went straight
to Beryl's heart. She happened to be
alone in the oak parlor when he came
in, and as he took her hand he said
gravely:
Remember no one here knows your
secret-no one ever will know it from
me; but IL they learn 1t from another
source they will be content. as do,
to remember you are Aunt Nina's
child. and forget you are Mr.. Lindon's
daughter"
Beryl had been at Uplands just three
days when Easthill was thrown into
commotion. Mr.. Lindon, the great
man Of the neighborhood. had arrived
and was putting up at his agents
house while he transacted some bust
ness connected with his property.
viii he have the effrontery to call
here?" Mrs. Dynevor asked her son.
Il should say not. II he does, send
Kitty In to interview him. She is cap
able of freezing him If she tries"
Il wonder II he has brought his wife
ana daughter" hazarded Mrs. Dyne-
vor.
No" retorted Kitty, who always
knew everything. His wife is not
well, and his daughter is at school.
Perhaps she prefers it to her step
mothers society, but she is the same
age as / am, and l should certainly
resent being kept at letters"
Poor little thing!" said Mrs. Dyn-
ever gently. II wonder II she is like
her mother? What is her name? Did
We ever hear?"
1T was never mentioned in Aunt
Nina's letters" returned Harold. "She
always spoke of the children as Pet
and Baby not that she wrote often,
poor thing"
Beryl was in the room, and natur-
ally heard these remarks. She almost
forgot herself, and contradicted his
last words, for she knew that Lillian
had never been called Pet" It was
her own name in babyhood, and had
not been given up till she went to
the Burgesses, when, by her fathers
wish, she was always called Beryl.
No, Lillian could not have been
pet" Try as she would, the girl
could not recall any fond abbrevlation
of her sisters name. When she was
brought home after Lillian's death nc
one ever spoke of the dead child ex-
cept her mother, and she always said
your little sister," Mr. Linden took
no notice of Beryl at all. Her moth
er's maid had returned to England,
as she had lately heard. to take serv-
ice with the family at Uplands. Lii
lian's nurse had also left the Lin
dons. but of her movements Beryl
knew nothing.

A Trial Court,s Error.

Where on a trial for murder the
prosecution contended that the de-
PENDANT concealed himself in growth
OF mesquite trees and shot the de.

rebut this theory, offered to show by
experiments that had been made by
the country surrounding the scene OF

OF concealment by trees or bushes, the
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
holds that these experiments were
proper and should have been admitted
and that it was error in the trial court

Harold Dynevor, In a low tone; from

IN MASONIC CIRCLES.
THE LATE CLARK BUCKINGHAM

In his address to the Grand Lodge
in January last, Grand Master j. @.
Rowland had this to say OF the late
Clark Buckingham, who was superin-
tendent Of the Masonic home at WAL
lingford, at the time of his death:
Brother Grand Secretary, you will
call roll of the wOrkmen.
Grand Secretary: Most WorShipful
Clark Buckingham.
He is not, for God took him. On the
18th day OF March, 1900, our dearly
loved and hOnored brother passed to
his welcome in the Middle Chamber,
there to receive the wages of we'll
spent life.
Brother Buckingham was born in
the town of Now Milford, August 5,
1881. He enlisted as a private in the
Union armyat the commencement of
the Civil War, and gave three years of
faithful service to the cause of his
country. He was made Master Ma
son in Trumbull Lodge, No. %, on June
20. 1871. Was thrice elected it's Wor-
shipful Master. and in 1880 was APP
pointed District Deputy for New Ha-
ven County by Grand Master John II.
Barlow. From this position he adj
vanced by regular steps, until on Jan
uary Is, 1890, he was elected Most Wor-
Shipful Grand Master of Masons in the
State of Connecticut. / need not re-
call to you the story of his devotion to
Masonic principles and Masonic chari-
ty. At the formation of the Charity
Foundation, he was appointed a men,
Der of the Board of Managers, becom-
ing Superintendent of the Home in
1895, whic h position he filed until the
day of his death. 1t has been we'll writ
ten of him: "BrOther Buckingham was
ever distinguished for his earnestncss,
his upright character and answering
fidelity. His was disinterested friend
ship; his stern integrity, his kind and
friendly intercourse with his brethren
and fellOw-men, especially with those
committed to his care, will ever be
cherished in grateful remembrance.
We feel that his deaCh was untimely:

Swamp, but as there were numerous
telegraph lines to pass, and the pines
being low and thick, it was decided
successful. Real coon hunting now
began. After Il few more leagues had
been covered, bringing the club deep
into the region Of LebOn Woods
a warlike whOop in the distance i'm
mediately brought the main body di-
rectly to the scouts feet, where by the
aid Of box of matches, it proved to
be that once hard hearted monster SO
eagerly pursued and SO well known
and firmly believed by many to be the
one recently slain by the Sandy Hook
Coon club, one who can at any time
either night or day clearly outgeneral
Clay Valley either on sight, scent or
trail Not quite satisfied with this sort
of game and the hunt being now more
vigorously pursued, brought the club
into the vicinity of High Rock, some
where within the haunts of the afore
said trapper, when a second whoop
brought up the rear this time to a
large tree Whepe the coon could be
plainly seen, some 40 feet up. 1t was
at this point that the new member,
who acted as guest, was gently told
that he must climb and shake the
tree, a task which Fred promptly re-
fused to do. Fearing the refusal meant
an i'll omen, one agile old timer made
a desperate leap and was half way up
the tree breathing "Coon" at every
breath. When but few feet away to
his utter amazement it proved to be a
huge hornet nest about the size of a
buShel basket. Descending to the
ground and relating his tale Of woe,
fierce indignation prevailed. Threats
of diSbandment could be heard on
every side but frightened at times by
tales of past adventures a hunt for
home was thought sure to win. A
homeward march was soon in order,
prompted by the singing of "Coon.
Coon, Coon, morning, night and noon"
1t was now nearing sunrise and the
club departed in good spirits, winning
fresh laurels and adding a new title
which will now become known as the
Clay Valley Fox, Coon x Hornet Club.
