fed on carefully weighed quantities
of certain foods. A current of air is
drawn through the box by a ma
chine pump. 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.

for all of US to spend even a small
part of our time in boxes. By these
practical experiments they dispose
of many queer popular notions about
food. 1t Is generally imagined and
frequently said that an egg contains
as much nutriment as a pound of
lean beefsteak. AS matter of fact,
it has 40 per cent. less of nutriment,
pound for pound. Beef sirloin is
only rs 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 maclerel are
as nutritious as sirloln steak. Lean
beef is nearly three-fourths water.
