CURIOUS CONDOLENCES.
Careers of Queen Wilhelmina and
Queen Victoria Strangely Shnilar
at Many Points.

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from The Hague, COM
menting on the coincidence Of the cross
ing OF the careers of the late queen
Of England and of Queen Wilhelmina
OF The Netherlands, says;
Like Victoria, wlhelmina, after as
cending the throne, has waited three
years and is marrying German prince.
Unless all signs fail. this is also gen.
uine love marriage and the wedding
comes within three days of the sixty
first anniversary of the marriage of Vic
toria in the Chapel Royal Of st. James.
There have been the same legislative
controversies over the naturalization
statutes and annuities to the prince
consort here which arose at Westmins-
ter in the time Of Melbourne and We'll
lington. and doubtless there will be
similar heartburnings and annoyances
over points of precedence and etiquette.
Duke Hendrick Of Mecklenburg-Sch-
werin is a German prince, and the
Queens Dutch subjects are intensely
Jealous Of their independence ard In
dread of the absorption of their dykes
and canals by Germany. They have
shown evidences Of suspicion and preju-
dice and have not liked his swagger-
ing military manners. The Dutch are
thrifty and democratic. and they have
not been favorably impressed with the
prince, who is an enthusiastic sports
man. He has also been compelled to
put up with legislative interference in
his affairs since his betrothal and has
been subjected to much annoyance.
Stree the marriage bans were proclaim
ed there has been a better feeling to-
ward the bridegroom.
The wedding ceremony will be per-
formed on Thursday in the White Hall
Of the palace, and be repeated in the
quaint church where the queen has at
tended Sunday school services since her
childhood.

w. o. Atwater has just completed an
important experiment in the respiration
calorimeter at Wesleyan to determine
the relation Of food TO muscular en-
ergy. The subject was one Of the coll

mental chamber for nine days and ten
nights.
Prof Atwater. who conducts expert
ments for the government in connection
with the work at Wesleyan, has not
completed his analysis and calculations
Of his latest experiment and will not for
several weeks. He authorized the fol-
lowing general statement Of the result
obtained, Withholding the name Of the
student who submitted 10 the test:
He was in the respiration chamber
nine days and ten nights, after pre-
liminary test. During eight days he
was engaged in active exercises, riding
bicycle which was attached TO
dynamo. for measuring the amount Of
muscular work performed One object
of the experiment was to find the rela-
tion between muscular activity and he
consumption Of food and body mater
ial and the transformation Of energy in
the body.
1T was the idea to compare the et-
ficiency of fats and the carbohydrates
for supplying the needs Of the body in
time Of hard muscular work, To this
end the diet during four days con-
tanned large quantities OF carbo hy-
drates. sugar and starch, which in the
last four days were replaced by fats
in the form Of fat meat. butter and
the like. The experiment was very
successful and promises results Of de-
cided interest. Several weeks will be
required for completing the analysis
and calculations
