MEAT DIET NECESSARY.
Men Who Have to Do Hard Work Re-
quire Abundant Share of
Animal Food.

Every now and then one hears of
the remarkable good health enjoyed
by those who adhere to strictly veg
etarian diet. And much can be said in
favor of its economy. as well. But
there is reason to believe that some
people are so constituted that they
can get along with less nourishment
than others. Moreover, the character
and quantity of labor performed by a
man or a woman has much to do with
their food requirements. The season
of the year, too, is a factor in the
problem. In cold weather or a cold
climate fats seem to be requisite to
the production of internal warmth.
And at all times of year persons en-
gagged in hard physical labor appear
to need a certain amount of meat.
Norburne B. Jenkins, of Chicago, re-
Gently discussed this matter in a pub
lie address, and. although his remarks
were intended to apply chiefly to fac
tory and mill operatives, they suited
the farmer as well. He said:
The workingman of this country
has to think as he works. He is in no
sense beast OIL burden; he cannot
live on grain. One-third of the blood
in his entire body is needed to keep
his brain active. His labor is fiercely
fast and competitive. All this and
more is in his work that is not in
others. He needs rapid nerve repair
ing food, strong red meats. He can
not do such work except with these.
A man might be a quiet, intellectual
sage on vegetables, or can be a beast
the right kind of viscera; but he can
not do fierce, nerve smashing competi-
tive work. or be a good soldier without
meat and plenty of it.
Zone needs a certain racial, geo.
graphical and anatomical disposition
to be good vegetarian. OF all peo-
pies we Americans are the least so
qualified. The vegetarian races have,
on an average, five to ten feet more of
intestines than meat eaters, and so
can live and toll on grain and vege-
tables, but they cannot build war
ships, bridges. typesetting machines,
skyscrapers, locomotives, etc.
"It is safe to say that this country's
unprecedented use of meat has had
nearly as much to do with speeding
and progressing civilization as either
coal or iron. The American cannot do
the skilled and speedy work required
eff him and meet the worlds COMPETE
ton. as he now does, unless he has an
abundance of meat"

Why Steel Rails Break,

In 1895 steel rail on the Great
Northern railway in England broke
into II pieces, causing serious acct
dent. A committee of the board of
trade appointed to investigate the
cause of the breakage has only re-
Gently made its report, after four
years of work on the subject. The
committee ascertained that the par
ticular rail which broke on the occa-
sion described possessed certain alb
normal features, the precise origin of
which remains undetermined, but the
investigation led to several discoveries
of scientific and practical importance.
Among these is the surprising effect
of cracks in the upper surfaces of
rails. 1t was found by experiment
that a rail nicled with a chisel to a
depth of a siXty-fourth of an inch
broke under a weight of 600 pounds
falling from height of 10 feet, while
the same rail not nicked resisted the
fall of ton weight from height of
20 feet.

WHAT THE LETTERS MEANT.
An Old Baltimore Caterer who Was
Not Behind Others of
Degree.

"When you mention the name of
John Reilly you touch "A reminiscent
chord in the hearts of hundreds of the
older residents of Baltimore" re-
marked a well-known gentleman the
other day, says the Sun.
John Reilly" he continued, many
years ago kept a saloon on South
street. 1t was a popular rendezvous
and always crowded. 1t was then the
only place in the city where one could
get old ale on draught, and his oysters
well, they were indescrbable. His
fried oysters were savory enough to
tempt man to evil; the raw box was
continual source of delight, and ths
savory stews served drove away the
weightiest of business cares.
Reilly was a jolly old man. full of
native wit and sparkling with keen
repartee. His place came to be the ia
vorite resort of the most brilliant men
of his day.
ION one occasion Reilly had to jour-
ney to Philadelphia on business. 1t
was in the time of the old stage coach
es, and he made his way leisurely along.
Upon arriving there he registered at
one of the leading hotels. That leads
up to my story.
AT that time it was customary for
men to add to their signatures such
titles or evidences of dignity as they
possessed. When Reilly looked over
the hotel register he saw something
like this:
John Jones, Ii. d.
civilian Smith, A. NJ, A. B.
Samuel Johnson, d. D.
"Seizing pen he inscribed the fol-
lowing: John Reilly, F. X. s. Then
he went about his business and spent a
pleasant and profitable afternoon.
Returning to the hotel at night he
was met by committee of leading and
learned citizens They greeted him
with great Difference and expressed
their qualification that such a dis
tinguished man should be in their
midst. He was urgently requested to
deliver lecture before some scientific
body during his stay You see. they
judged from the mystic letters on the
hotel register that he was a fellow of
the roy~l society and had come to do
him honor.
''Reilly was man of imposing per-
sonal appearance. He made himself
very agreeable to the committee, but
could not name a date for the lecture.
When they left him friend asked the
reason of the demonstration.
"'What do you mean by writing the
letters "F. R. s. after your name, any
way?' he asked.
"'Well, replied Mr.. Reilly, with a
merry twinkle of the eye, they mean
Fried, raw and stewed," and ! serve
the best in Baltimore"

DOORS AND SMELLS.
French Scientists Propose an Undula-
tory to Replace the More Com
mon Emissive Theory.

The ordinary explanation of the phe.
nomena of odors and of smells is pre-
cisely that adopted by the ancient
Greek philosophers They held that
smell particles of the odoriferous body
were detached and transmitted by the
air to the mucous membrane of the
nose. The actual contact of these
emitted particles with the nasal men,
branes produced the sensations of
smell.
A similar view was held by the an-
clients, and even by Sir Isaac Newton,
as to the explanation of the phenom-
ena of sight. Corpuscles were sup
posed to be darted out in every dircc-
ton by a luminous body and to fall
on the retina of the eye. By this con-
tact the phenomena of vision were
light has since the time of Huyghens
been replaced by the undulatory the
DRY of vision. Molecular motions in
the luminous body set up movements
in the surrounding ether-light waves.
These waves travel through the ether
and enter the eye and there set up
corresponding movements of the ele-
ments of the retina, and these move
ments are the cause, and the only
cause, of the phenomena of seeing.
The brain interprets the sensation by
the light of experience.
NM. Vaschide and Van NELLIE have
lately proposed an undulatory theory
of smell to replace the emissive the
DRY, and have enforced it by reasons
too special to be recited here. They
declare that smell does not arise from
direct contact between partie les
emitted from an odorferous body and
the ends of the olfactory nerves, but
that the odoriferous body sends out
set of radations analogous to light
waves, X-rays, etc.-analogous but
not similar. The arguments of the
authors of the new hypothesis are in
genious, if not entirety convincing as
yet. Their theory deserves and will
receive a thorough investigation. In
the meantime we may consider the
question as an open one. Certain it is
that the commonly received theory
leaves many things uneXplained.-N.
