Not only is all the waste from the mans body analysed and weighed, but the air is subjected to analysis before it goes in and after it comes out of the box By the latter analysis it is discovered just what elements and how much of them have been given off from the lungs of the man in breathing. Everything that goes into the body of the subject being known, as well as the outgo, it is easily ascertained what has been used to build up the tissues, to make blood, etc. The man in the box, which has glass win dows, may spend his time in idleness or he may be occupied actively for several hours of the day. In this way comparisons are obtained as to food consumed and results accom- plished under varying conditions.

Methods 6 Records of Two Famous Weight Throwers

sending the hammer over 16O feet every time at practice one afternoon at the Ravenswood athletic club field, that he had found the knack of throwing, but could not tell just how he had acquired that gift, except it might come from taking an extra turn of the body just before releasing the weight.
 ''The only thing about this last and hard swing is that it is quite likely to carry your body over the prescribed line of your circle and cause you to foul. Sometimes I get every throw away without fouling, and then there are days when it seems almost inn possible to keep inside the circle" said Plaw.
 Followers of athletics are now anx- ious to see whether Plaw will frac- ture the mark set by Flanagan. Un- less some unknown college athlete is heard from this fall-and the chances are very slim-there will only be two hammer throwers in the world who can threaten the 17O-foot mark. Plaw is but 20 years old. Standing six feet high in his rubber-soled shoes, he weighs about 2sO pounds. Some would call the athlete "soft" and too fabby to make an athletic team. This idea would be intensified were the critics to see him stripped in gym nasium uniform. Soft white hands and arms that lack the muscles so familiar in pictures of athletes, do not tend to brighten the portrait of a record-breaking athlete. Yet Plaw seems to make no particular effort when he is throwing the hammer. He was just such round, "roly-poly" boy when four years ago he used to stroll over to Tom Carroll's to watch the Californian athlete toy with heavy weights. None but Carroll would have suspected that this well fed looking Lord Fauntleroy" had hammer-throwing abilities concealed about his ad1pose tissue. However, during a spell of enchantment over

the box they will apply to other men. So it will not be necessary for all of us to spend even small part of our time in boxes. By these practical experiments they dispose of many queer popular notions about food. It IS generally imagined and frequently said that an egg contains as much nutriment as pound of lean beefsteak. As matter of fact, it has 40 per cent. less of nutriment, pound for pound. Beef sirloin is only 75 per cent. as nutritious as beans and peas. Chicken and turkey are ahead of beans and peas in this respect, being the most nutritious food known. Shad and mackerel are as nutritious as sirloln steak. Lean beef is nearly three-fourths water. Prof. Atwater has invented a new

the distance the hammer was sent, Plaw threw and immediately he be- came a victim of the fascination of the hammer-throwing game. Carroll made him a 12-pound hammer, and one day he hurled it so far that it was never found! Yes, it actually fell into a creek, and was not recov- cred. Then he essayed the 16-pound hammer, beat all the aspirants for honors who threw where he did and subsequently passed into the championship class.
 Not satifed with the 16-pound ham mer, Plaw made himself a 56-pound weight, and gained strength in muscles that were brought into play so much while throwing.
 What would you say if were to tell you that some time ago when Flaw was only 16 years old, he had shown Carroll so much ability in hurling the weights that he sent word to the strong Irishman, Flana- gan, that this school boy would, be- fore three years were over, smash Flanagan's figures. The reply of Flanagan when he heard this was:
 AJ OWA kACh GO CAA v" the hammer.'
 If there is anything in the theory that athletes mature much quicker out on the Pacific coast than in the east, then Plaw is a full-grown man, and Flanagan would better look out for his honors. In competition pre- vious to this year, Flaws best official mark was 165 feet eight inches. Plaw had been raising his mark by inches while Flanagan had gone upward by feet. There were no athletes in Eu- rope whom Flanagan feared. To look little into the future: If Flanagan is alive when the Olympian games are decided in Chicago in 1903, he will be what might be called fulhgrown man. If Plaw is there, it will be Plaw, no doubt, that will carry off the honors. Youth conquers over age at certain stages of athletics.

fred Plaw, is a member of the cele- brated University of California Ath- letic team, and has thrown the ham, mer in the western intercollegiate and the eastern intercollegiate annu- al meets. Plaw is satisfied that Elan agan is mighty thrower, but is con- tent to wait until he has put on few years. Then he will ask the A. A. U. to grant a sanction to him for an open competition event, in which his record will count officially, and he will ''let himself out.''
 By the way, 1t is considerable of 8 farce for the governing body of anna teur athletics to give Flanagan, great as he is in this line, an opportunity to compete in an "open special event." The idea of an ordinary athlete en- tering the same event with big John Flanagan! But then the A. A. U. red tape must be wound around an ath- letic performance, otherwise the rec ords made will not stand" The hammer that Flanagan used when he wiped out Flaws record and set the new mark at something over 175A feet was two ounces over weight.
 
 would rather carry Overweight" than be disqualified for a shortage. The majority of the officials were convinced that he had not fouled in the nine-foot circle. But one man said that the athlete had overstepped the prescribed boundary, and he soon admitted his error.
 The accompanying picture of Elan agan at the top of his swing-that is a golf expression that fits in here made from a rare photograph, shows the desperate nature of his effort. If there is any fraction of the mo- mentum of the body that is not put into that swing just at the instant the hammer is released, then Flana- gan has made mistake in judging his turning inside the circle.
 But isn't there ssknack'' in, hurl- ing the hammer? Of course, there is. Plaw himself told me when he was

@REAT is the American athlete,
 " who calmly sets about making
 worlds record, simply be- cause another has temporarily set aside one of his marks. The foreign athletes annihilate all impediments when the desire seizes them to set a new record. There never was a more deliberate preparation by man for the regaining of worlds record hon. ors than the Independence day work of John Flanagan, the New York Ath- letic club Hercules and 16-pound ham, mer thrower.
 It will be recalled that last year Flanagan hurled the weight 166 feet nine inches, and because the Amateur Athletic union committee of officials that examined the hammer found it was one-fourth of an inch short, al- though it weighed nearly an ounce too much, the Irish athlete got his ''mad up" and surprised all present at the Trayers island games by hurl- ing the weight again to the distance lof 167 feet eight inches.
 ssThere, that will stand until I get 1EdQy UO OT0dk ISMdIhcu T gan. And the strange thing is that he did break this worlds record when he got ready, setting the new mark at 175 feet 4sA inches. And the incentive for Flanagan's great work at Celtic park, Long Island, in the presence of thousands of his coun- trymen? Why, a college youth out in California who throws the hammer in his street clothes farther than any other athlete than Flanagan, and whose little hand is so soft and ten der and feminine that he wears thin kid glove when he practices with the hammer, had smashed that 167-foot record, making 171 feet two inches from nine-foot circle at college competition. Flanagan says he cares little whether or not his latest mark is generally accepted as a record.

Whenever anything was to be done
and done right request was made on L

Major Joseph and Captain Osborne
Prefer Charges against Member of
the Governors STAFF Action Result
Of the Riot at the Camp on last Sum
day.
Charges have been preferred against
a member of the Governors staff,
General Morris Hocheiner Of Wheel
! 'no nq Major g NJ. JOSEPH of Morgan
town and Captain Lynn Osborne Of
Clarksburg. They followed charges
which Hocheimer had brought
against Major Joseph but which he
had later withdrawn. rhe trouble
grew out Of riot at camp last Sun
day.
| A fellow by the name Of Higgins
had been limiting trouble in camp all
day. He cursed every one who came
near him and was knocked down 10
the morning by an officer for getting
gay. He remained until afternoon
when the brigade was reviewed.
During the passage OF the troops he
caught hold of number of mounted
officers horses and swearing a.: them
asked to hn allowed TO ride in their
places.
Finally he was waved back by Lieu
tenant Charnock a mounted officer.
He caught Charnock's sword and
broke it in two. Gharnoek at once
made chopping block of his head
and it required fourteen stitches to
make him as good as new. His
friends started to raise trouble and
Captain Osborne who was officer of
the day rushed strong guard to the
scene and pu ling his revolver dispers-
ed the crowd which had grown ugly.
The injured man was removed to
| the hospital. All this time General
liHocheimer who was on the ground
dressed in his uniform although not
on duty and havin0 only the rights
of any other civilian was telling the
| the crowd that Osborne and CharnoclS
were wrong and that Higgins bad
been badly treated. He went to the
hospital tent and grossly insulted both
Major Joseph and Captain Osb Jrne.
He called them vile names and said
that they were like all the other off,
Gers In the guard. Major Joseph
elected him from the tent telling him
that he would be kicked out If he did
not go. He filed charges against
Major Joseph but after being given a
severe lecture by the Brigade Com
mander was forced to withdraw
them and to apologize to the two off,
! GERS.
They accepted The apology under
protest and have filed charges against
the General. 1t is expected that he
will resign in order to avoid the issue
as there can be but one decision In
the case. Besides the military law
which he has violated he. has laid
himself open to prosecution for inter
fering with the guard while engaged
in drill and thus liable to imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for two
years.

How to Kill caterpilIars.

In view Of the numerous inquiries
following the plague Of caterpillars in
various sections of the country the De-
partment of Agriculture has issued
advice to those who desire relief from
the pests. The worm which is caus-
ing havoc among maple, linden and
other fine shade trees is the product
of the tussock moth, or tufts of hair,
so prominent on the caterpillar. l.. o.
Howard, the United States entomolo-
gist, says that the fact that the female
moth is minus wings tends to sinpli-
fy the method Of prevention, especial
ly for those trees not yet affected. A
broad, thick strip oil raw cotton, to be
tied around the trunk and occasionally
renewed, is recommended. The pro-
cess Of banding will also prove useful
in cases where the trees have already
been attacked by the catel pillars,
since many Of them drop from the
limbs and the cotton prevents their
return. The eggs deposited on the
trees are usually low down on the
trunk and can easily be removed by
scraping. Mr.. Howard says that, in
view OF the general prevalence OF the
nuisance, individual owners should
take immediate steps to abate ii for
the present and prevent It's recurrence.

COACHING MICHIGAN.
Is Former West Virginia University
Football PLAYER.

Harris r. Yost, who formerly at
tended the University here and
played in the football team Is now
coaching the University Of Michi-
gan team. Concerning Yost, the
Detroit Free Press saws:
1t looks as If Yost 10 going to be
a prime fayorite with the students.
He has certainly made big hit with
the football candidates and this is :
good criterion. He has kind of
magnetism tEat wins the confidence
of all who are thrown into bis com
pany. In fact there has sprung up
q regular mutual admiration society
between Yost and his pupils. "He
is the best coach | ever worked un-
DER" Is what the men say They
are the finest lot of fellows ever
met. They are gentlemenevery
one Of them" is Yost's comment on
the squad.
Speaking Of Yost, he Is not only
model OF an athelete, but he is q
fine character in professional
sense. 1t Ii doubtful il q man could
make him mad If he went up and
slugged him, but after any one has
sized mp his board shoulders and
general muscular Development 1t is
doubtful IL such dangerous thing
would be attempted. 1t takes but
an introduction to size UP the big
West Virginia man as one Of the
best-natured on EARTH During the
practice that has been going on his
patience has been sorely tired, but
he has not yet become exasperated
or shown any temper. A manlmight
be with him a life time and never
hear curse word issue from his
lips.
