DIGESTIBILITY OF MEATS.
Little Matter to the Stomach Whether
They Are Raw or Cooked.

Two University OF Illinois professors
have been experimenting on raw
and cooked meats with a view OF deter
mining the relative digestible proper
ties OF each Be the meat raw, boiled,
broiled or fried, they say. the stomach
will handle it with almost equal ease.
The experiments-made at the Uni
versity Of Illinois by Henry Sands
Grindley and Timothy MOjonnier-were
by artificial digestion, a solution OF
pepsin being used. a pamphlet has
been issued on the subject. but as 1t is
so technical that the layman would
find difficulty In following it In detail. a
few quotations Will suffice
With a number OF tables TO support
their contention. the professors reach
their preliminary conclusion:
1T Is plainly evident that there is no
difference between the dlgastibiIity OF
there Is practically no difference be-
tween the amount OF nitrogenous mat
ter IN raw and cooked meats that IS
made soluble by the action OF the acid
pepsin solution when allowed 10 oct
for twenty-four hours In other words.
the total digestlbility OF raw and cook
ed meats in acid pepsin solution OF the
strength used. acting for twenty-four
hours. is the same. II is commonly be-
lieved that cooked meat is less di-
gestible than raw meat"
Then. with more experiments and
more tables, they express themselves as
follows:
1T is plainly evident that there Is a
difference in the ease and the rapidity Of
the digestion Of the protein Of raw
meats and meats cooked by the common
me thOds. This difference IS best seen
IN the results obtained by digestion of
meats with pepsin solution for one hour.
Although the data here presented gre
not sufficient base for definite final CON
clusions, IL does seem that the protein
OF raw meat is more readily soluble or
diFestible than the protein Of cooked
meats. The experiments also Indicate
thar the protein Of meat cooked by boil
irg is more readily digestible than the
protein OF broiled or fried meats. The
protein Of fried meats is less rapidly
soluble or digestible than broilei meat.
These came differences are also no.
tioeable In the results obtained after
continuing the digestion for two hours.
hut after longer digestion these differ
ences mostly disappear. and after digest
inG with pepsin solution for twenty
fcur hours the digestibility OF raw and
cooked meats seems TO be practically the
same. '-Chicago Tribune.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Killed More People in a Year Than
Were Lost in the Boer War.

IN a recent editorial on the subject OF
the alarming Increase of accidents On
our railroads. we called attention TO the
fact that the railroad companies seemed
TO place a very cheap estimate upon life.
as evidenced by the fact that no special
measures were being taken to check the
rapid growth Of fatalities among rail-
road passengers and employees. We have
before us a Government publication
whose figures present incontestable evil
Gence that the charge OF negligence Is
well founded. According TO accident bull
letin No. 6. published by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. the number Of
passengers killed In train accidents dur
ing the months OF October. November,
and December, 1902, was 26s. and OF in
jured 2.7SS.
Accidents OF other kinds, including
those sustained by employees while at
work and passengers getting on and OF
cars. etc. bring the total number OF
casualties up to 1851. OF these, 9SS
were killed and 1873 injured. from
which we see that at the close OF last
year our railroads were killing people
at the rate Of 3.752 per year and dis
abling them at the rate Of 47.492-a rate
OF y ,244 deaths and Injuries in a single
twelve months Now, these figures are
surely sufficiently shocking In them
selves: but we can better appreciate
their meaning IL we compare them with
the casualties Of some specified in
stance OF the universally admitted
horrors of war"
During the whole OF the Boer war.
which lasted about three years. the to-
tel number Of casualties (klled.
wounded, died Of disease, and invalided
home) in the British army was 21,I32.
o: whom 5,727 were killed in action.
The Boer losses. If we exclude the
number Of prisoners taken, were not
so numerous as those of the British;
but even If we allow that they were
approximately equal. We find that the
- number Of casualties Of British
and Bocrs. throughout the three years.
was only about equal 10 the total num-
beT Of railroad casualties in the United
States, supposing, that is, that the rate
shown in the last three months OF last
year were To prevail for the whole
year. Judging from the daily record
OF accidents during the first three
months of 1903 the rate has not only
been sustained. but has greatly in
creased.-Sctentific American

LIVELY LITTLE BROWN TROUT
Exhibition of Swimming Powers Given
at an Aquarium.

What a brave jumper the trout is,
and what a sturdy swimmer against
the current. is shown In the case of a
lot OF little brown trout hatched out
in the New York aquarium.
The troughs for the little fishes are
placed In continuing line with the egg
troughs, but at lower level. The water,
in constant circulation through the
troughs. flows from the lower end Of
the line of egg troughs to the upper
end OF the line OF fish troughs, through
a length of pipe an inch in diameter.

drop of about an inch. The lower end
of the pipe is about an inch and a
half above the surface OF the water IN
the lower half.
The little brown trout here. some OF
them now an inch and three-quarters
IN length. are all the time gathering

where the little waterfall comes down.

II is their instinct at this season 70
seek the cooler waters up stream.
near the spring. making their way Ia
many places where progress up stream
would seem TO be impossible for them.
Thus these little brown trout. be-
fore they had grown to be 50 big as
they are now, would jump up that
waterfall that came down at the head
OF their trough, up sheer height as
great as or greater than their own
length, into the mouth of that pipe
through which was flowing q current
with the swiftness OF a drop Of one
inch in seven. and up that stream in
TO the still water OF the egg trough

above It in that manner. 70 be scooped

WHERE KINGS ARE PLENTIFUL
In the Creek Indian Country Alone
There Are Twenty-Five.

Kings are very common in the Indian
Territory. In fact. they are so common
that no attention is paid to them. and
their movements excite no comment
whatever. In the Creek country alone
there are twenty-five real live kings.
Nero Drew is a fair sample of them
Each one has a kingdom to look after.
and g keeps him busy doing 1t.
The title does not descend from father
TO son as II does In the effete European
monarchies. The Indians elect their
own kings. The tenure OF office is two
years. However. whenever an Indian Is
chosen king and serves his people well he
is usually reelected without opposition.
Some Of the old kings IN the Creek ma
ton have been at the head Of their king
doms for forty years or more. Nero
Drew has been a king for thirty-six
years
The Creek nation is divided into
twenty-five towns. which is about the
same as township in the States Each
town has a king, whose duty It is 70
look after the Indians Of his town.
He has no power to spend their
money or to command them 20 do any
thing His powers are somewhat pa
ternal. He looks after the sick. and
sees that they have medical atten-
tion. He cares fo- the poor and de-
crepit When any of his subjects get
into trouble he gives them fatherly ad-
vice and frequently appeals to the Fed
eral authorities TO show them mercy.
He advises with his subjects on all
matters pertaining to their Interests
In truth. ne is their worldly adviser.
Sometimes he Is their spiritual ad-
wiser also for occasionally the Indians
elect a preacher as king.
Indian kings are not very well com
pensated. They get no salary. II is
a labor of love with them. The only
possible show they have OF getting any
money out OF the Office is through
boodlIng at elections. In this respect
the Indians are not behind the times.
They Doodle the same as other peo-
pie. Elections sometimes come high
to the candidates. Town kings are US
uaily quite influential among the peo-
pie of their kingdom and they com
mand a fairly good price for their in
nuence at elections. Most of them are
full blood Indians. Some. however, are
mixed bloOds.-Kansas City Journal.

THE MAORI "TAPU."
Certain Things That Were Sacred in
New Zealand.


According to laws OF the New Zealand
"tapu" certain persons and things were
always sacred. These were the bodies of
chiefs and priests, and everything con-
nected with these dignitaries. who had
likewise the power Of imposing the tapu
on others-on human flesh, dead bodies
persons engaged in planting sweet pOta-
tees. and the first sweet potatoes dug
W. the first fish caught in the season,
slaves attending on sacred persons, etc.
Various other things were tapued for
certain objects - trees to make good
canoes. rivers, roads. etc; in fact, il
Was In the power OF the chiefs and the
priests to tapu anything There was no
ceremony on the imposition OF the tapu,
places always sacred were well known.
It was unlawful for tapued persons TO
touch food with their fingers. Chiefs
we're fed by slaves. and persons not pos
~sessed OF slaves ate their food like dogs.
/. was unlawful to sail or fish on Japued
rivers or to cultivate tapued districts.
ViOlatOrs Of the tapu were punishable
by death. loss OF property and expulsion
from society Europeans occasionally
lost their lives upon violating sacred
places during the early days Of their in
tercourse with these islands.
