PALACES ABOUT FLOUR.
That Made by Roller Process More Dk
gestibie Than Graham.


1t is the general theory among the
majority Of people that graham bread
is far more digestible than that made
of -four thoroughly 'bolted" or sepa-
rated from the bran and middlings.
Such does not appear to be the fact.
however. If We are to credit recent ex-
periments of the department OF agri-
culture. Digestion experiments were
carefully carried out with bread made
from each of the several kinds of -four
and the proportions of protein assim-
Hated and rejected by the system care
fully determined. The whole wheat
fiours may afford a greater proportion
of the mineral nutriments, however, as
this phase of the subject was not
studied. but as far as the available
protein fats, carbohydrates and energy
are concerned the patent roller flours
are preferable. According to the chem
ical analysis of graham, entire wheat
and standard patent flours milled from
the same lot of hard Scotch Fife spring
wheat the graham -four contained the
highest and the patent -four the low
est percentage of total protein. The
results of the digestion experiments
with these fours showed that they
were available in the reverse order
that Is, the standard patent roller
fiour afforded lesser amounts. This
paradox. that the -four containing the
smallest proportion of protein should
afford the greatest proportion avail
able for digestion. is explained by the
c~oarseness of the particles of the
whole wheat varieties. The bran and
germ of these fiours resist the action
OF the digestive juices to a great de-
gree and consequently pass through
the system unaltered. On the other
hand. the finely ground condition Of
the patent iours improves its digesti-
bility. II was also shown that the ad-
dition OF wheat starch to -four did
not improve its bread-making qualities
or the size OF the loaf. The most de-
sirable -four for bread-making appears
to be one produced by blending hard
and soft wheat iours. In which the un-
desirable properties of the gluten OF
each are counterbalanced. - Chicago

that would absorb any IN start

Good-byes were fesounding in her

conf. She is not in the habit of talk
ing very much about anything she
feels deeply. At Bryn Mawr, where
she was graduated in '96, she used to
be called intense. She was one of the
quiet kind that always came out at
the head of her class. She had a de-
cided literary bent, which, q~ueerly
enough, was somewhat instrumental
in fostering her acquaintance with the
inventor.
But that happened later in the trip.
During the first few days they ex-
changed views at odd hours when the
ship was rolling and tossing, when the
moon shone, when the stars were
bright, and when the sun was obscured
by clouds.

while he cannot be prevailed upon to
eat a rabbit, is greedily fond of fat
prairie dogs. Large communities OF
these small animals abound on the
western plains, and the Navajo has re-
sorted to many ingenious methods for
trapping his coveted dainty. One OF
them Is by the aid OF a bit of mirror
placed at the entrance of a burrcY.
When the animal ventures from his
bedroom, deep under ground, he sees
a familiar image mocking him at the
front door and he hurries out to con-
front the %impudent intruder. when he
Is pinned to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method Is what
the Indians call the rain hunt. As soon

In the course of the week they spent
together Marconi learned that Miss
Holman was a college girl and quite
capable of understanding something
about the properties OF ether and wave
motions through ether. He talked to
her a bit about Geographic communl-
cation through space without
ing wires, about how ether might con-
duct and carry messages as a land wire
does, about his instruments, his pur-
pose. his ambition.
It was all very interesting. The
young girl looked at him with faith
in her eyes and confidence in her voice.
"Oh. you will succeed" she cried

He found her an intelligent, charm
ing pupil. Her reassurances were mu-
sic to his ears, for he had found him
self a thousand times among doubters.
Becoming more and more interested
in his new pupil, Marconi suddenly
dropped all talk of his inventions and
insisted upon delving into her likes
and dislikes. her ambitions and her
life. She was going over to visit in a
number of English houses. He de-
scribed to her what she would find.
She told him he hopes, her fears, her
plans. They had passed from acquain-
tances to friends.
Just before we got to the Needles"
said Miss Holman, "a point on the
south OF England. Mr.. Marconi set up
his apparatus in the second cabin and
began sending and receiving messages
sixty-siX miles away. while the ship
was going at full speed. 1t was while
the excitement about the Boer war was
at its height, and the news he got
was printed in q little paper that he is
sued on shipboard.'
OF this little paper Marconi made
Miss Holman his associate editor. 1t
gave them an excuse for consultations
and talks that might otherwise have
required explanation. Numberless
times the proofs had to be gone over.
Every little phrase required c%onsulta-
ton. The change of a word became
vested with great importance.
