TESTING FOOD.

How It's Nutritive Value 10 sOmcially
Found.
In some ways the most important
feature of the work done. has been
the devising of the respiration calor-
imeter by Prof. Arwater and Prof.
Rosa of Wesleyan. It is a copper
chamber seven feet long, four feet
wide, six feet four inches high, In
which a man is placed and in which
he stays for period of from five to
eight days. He is given opportunity
Tor exercise, unless it Is to be a rest
test, and he lives, so far as possible,
precisely as he would live in the out
side world. The object is to deter
mine what proportion of the food he
eats is accepted. by the body for use,
what part is rejected. BY means Of
the calorimeter apparatus-the heat
measuring apparatus conveys the
thought perhaps clearer-it is posi-
BILE to tell precisely how much energy
or heat is developed by the man while
In the cage. Every unit, or particle,
OF heat is measured as 1t passes out
OF the chamber, and so absolutely ac-
curate is the apparatus that he may
not rise from his chair without the
extra energy thus generated being
recorded. Each particle of food eaten
is measured and tested with the ut
most exactitude, and every particle of
waste is registered with absolute &C.
curacy in order that the precise
amount of material utilized by the
body may be determined.
Without going further into the de-
tails of this fascinating service to the
world, it may be said that the appara-
tus is being copied for similar work in
scientific institutions on both sides of
the ocean, while the results of the
investigations carried on by the direc-
tor OF this station are being made the
basis for the determination of the
dietary of many public institutions.
These results are daily being applied
in feeding Of the army and navy of
the United States.-From "The New
Agriculture" by w. S. Harwood, in
Scribner's Magazine.

Don't Read In Red.

Reading in bed is seriously advised,
so the newspapers say, by physician
as conducive to repair and resting"
relieving congestion" complying the
veins overfilled by prolonged eye
work." etc.
It is plain that placing the head
back in horizontal position so abso-
lutely meets the whole problem of
relief of congestion by gravity-and
it is such very important problem
that it seems strange that people with
weak eyes do not habitually practise
reading in a recumbent position per-
fectly comfortable. Such advice, car
ried out with absolute care as to light
and the position of the book, would
in the case of thousand busy people
add largely to the number of hours
which reading could be INDUCED in
without detriment to the eyes or gen.
eral health.
Certainly the one who gives this
strange and pernicious advice could
never have tried the plan. Some years
ago there was described patented
device for suspending the book over
the horizontally placed head of a sick
person whereby reading would be pos
sible without holding the book in the
hands. Even then one wonders how
the light could be made to fall prop.
erly on the page. Without method
of the kind not even we'll person
could hold book five minutes above
the eyes, Reading in bed mas
ruined thousands Of good eyes. I'm
less one sits up in bed as if in chair,
it is impossible to hold the book in
such a position that the arms are not
quickly tired and so that the light
falls on it properly. When reading ly-
ing down there is traction upon the
inferior recti muscles which is high
ly injurious. Every patient should be
warned never to read in bed except
when sitting up as vertically as in
chair.-American Medicine.

A remarkable performance on the
road was that Of John Cooke. whose
death was announced In July, 1S4s.
He was generally known throughout
England as Jack the Greyhound" on
account Of his heetness in running.
In the old coaching days he ran for
long distances by the side OF coaches,
throwing somersaults every few
strides. On one occasion he resolved
to attempt the journey from London to
Birmingham, accompanying the mail
coach for the whole distance. He ac-
tually performed this exploit, keeping
pace with the coach by taking an al
ternate number of steps and somer-
saults. But this combined speed and
agility did not save him from the
workhouse. in which institution he

One Of my friends in preaching to the
soldiers IN the time Of the war visited q
hospital, and was asked by q nurse IL he
would not when he had finished his service
cross over to an adjoining hospital and
minister to the comfort Of dying bow. He
agreed to come and finished his service
with the soldiers by joining with them in
singing, "Jesus, SavioNr, Pilot Me-" When
he reached the second hospital tent the
nurse told him that the young soldier was
dead, and he died, she said as you sang
the last hymn. While you were singing
it he said it with you, and this was the
hymn:

wealthy, is offended when the sins OF
distant neighbors are rebuked, sins
which will i'm no wise profit him TO

most unworldly pastor, who truly loves
his parishiOners and is beloved by
them, to preach against their darling

that one or two of the pastors have
had the courage to investigate the cor

will accomplish unless it shall cost
them too much. They must draw the
line against religions intrusion on bus

preacher is to push the line further and
further into business and politics.

Miss Hayden, Of the university school,

that ii is inspiring. Eastern publish

west for virility in expression and
analysis. We are a new people, and
primitive folk are poets and story tell

in making signs and in graphic ex-

rivals Of deeper culture. they have the
advantage of living in a land OF in
