NUTR1TIvE VALUE OF FOOD.
Methods Employed in Prof. Atwater's
 

Methods Employed in Prof. AtWater's
 Tests.
 w. S. Harwood writing in the June Scribners on "The New Agriculture" gives the following facts concerning the testing of the nutritive value of food, extensive experiments in which have been conducted at Wesleyan Uni versity in Middletown in cecent years by Prof. Atwater:
 ''n some ways the most important feature of the work done has been the devising of theI respiration calorime- ter by Prof. Atwater 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 a period of from five to eight days. He Is given opportunity for exercise, unless 1t is to be a rest test, and he lives, so far as possible, precisely as he would live in the outside world, The object is to detrmine 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 ll4OuSuL DtlldIS ClPdl IS ppSSlplc 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 it passes out of the chamber, and so absolutely accurate is the apparatus that he may not rise from his chair without the extra ener- sy thus generated beng recorded Each particle of food eaten is measured and tested with the utmost exaCtitude, and every particle of waste is registered with absolute accuracy in order that the precise amount of material untiliz- ed 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 in- vestigations carried on by the director 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 the feeding of the army and navy of the United States.

The Young woman who entered the

housekeeping or shopping, and she was

PC w;rdow in fine Barn.

Roof Window i'm the Barn.
There are thousands of barns scat
tered throughout the country, the rooi
space in which is but little, II at all
utilized, largely for the reason that the
roof space is inaccessible. A barn was
secently seen in which this difhculty
was solved. by the insertion OF a roof
window similar to that shown IN the
cut. This gives chance to unload nay
into the loft from the outside, either
by hand or by hay fork. and where
as the loft before was dark and poorly
ventilated. it is now light and airy'
The style of window that Is shown is
much better than the pitched root dor
mer, window that is sometimes put up
on roofs. The style shown admits OF
having large square window in fronl
especially useful If a hay fork Is Il
be used.
The advantage of thus changing
barn is that the loft can be doored ovel
and the hay and straw stored IN tn'

At this moment the door is thrown
open and Seaton himself enters.
You know she cries. Her tone Is
low, but each word rings clear as bell.
You know! Oh, cowardv' she breathes
very low. her slender hands clinched.
Reused from his lethargy and stung by
her contempt, he would now have made
his defense, but with a scornful gesture
she waves him aside and leaves the
room.

rible agitation, addressing his father he
casts a burning glance at him. Dysart
covers before it.

WHERE TO LOSE TREASURE.

Best and Safest Place Seems to Be In
Paris Cab.
If man must lose his purse some
where, perhaps the best place is in
Paris cab. Major Arthur Griftiths,
writing in CasselPs Magazine, tells
some wonderful stories of money re-
covered after being thus left. He says
that the cabmen of Paris are honest
enough-possibly in spire. of them
selves, for they are rough lot-and
are carefully looked after by the police.
AS a result, some curious instances OF
self-denial on the part of these poorly
paid servants of the public have been
recorded.
One night rich Russian, who had
gone away from his club a large win
ner, left the whole amount, ten thou
sand francs, in a cab. He was so GER
tain that he had lost it irreparably that
he returned to st. Petersburg without
even inquiring whether it had been
given up.
Some time later he was again in Par
is, and a friend urged him at least to
satisfy himself as to whether the miss
ing money had been taken to the lost
property office. He went and asked,
although the limit of time for claiming
lost property had almost expired.
Ten thousand francs lost!' said the
official. Yes, it is here" and after
the proper Identification the packet
was restored to him.
what a fool that cabman must have
been!" was the Russians only remark.
The comment spoke i'll for public
morality in Russia.
On another occasion a jeweler in the
Palais Royal left diamond parure
| worth eighty thousand francs in cab.
| The police, when he reported his loss.
gave him little hope Of recovering the
treasure Not only were diamonds
worth sixteen thousand dollars great
| temptation to the cabman, but worse
| still, the loser did not know the num-
ber of the cabman, having picked him
up in the street instead of taking him
| from the rank; and more unfortunate
yet, he had quarreled with the driver,
for which reason he had abruptly left
the cab.
The case seemed hopeless, yet the
cabman brought back the diamonds OF
his own accord. The quaintest part OF
the story is to come When told at the
prefecture to ask the jeweler for the
substantial reward to which he was
| clearly entitled, he replied:
NO, not L; he was too rude. l hope
NAV never see him or speak to him
again"
All cabmen are not so honest as this
vet a great deal of treasure finds it:
way to the prefecture, whittier every
thing found in streets and highways, il
omnibuses, theaters, cabs and railwa!
stations. is forwarded. In one case al
emigrant, who had made his fortune
in Canada, and carried it in his pocke
in the shape of fifty notes of ten thou
sand francs each, dropped his purse a
he climbed on to the outside of an ON
nibus.
The conductor picked it up and re
| stored it with its one hundred thou
sand dollars intact. To be sure, h
was rewarded with two thousand fiv
/ hundred dollars, but the temptation b
| overcame was great
