The Valuable Oyster.
(LondoB Lancet.)


Interesting experiments made in the
Lancet laboratory show the great di-
gestibility of the oyster When the
oyster was crushed. and placed in cold
water about hale of the solid matter
was dissolved When the oyster was
placed uncrushed in the same medium
one fourth of its solid matter was dis
solved. II is believed that if the oyster
be chewed more than half OF il is dis
solved in the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best
thing to drink with oysters. But chab-
lis is very good, dissolving 81 per cent
of the solid matter Of the oyster.
What are the solids Of the oyster?
They are the proteids sponding to
the lean of meat or the white OF an
egg. fat, starchy matters and glycogen.
This last means the substance which
the liver manufactures for future use.
II is very like sugar, and when wanted
for use is changed into sugar. 1t is
the substance which makes the oyster
sweet in the mouth.
But there are other valuable consti-
tuents OF the oyster-what are called
the glycero- phosphoric compounds.
Medical men prescribe these for i'm
proving the nervous system. SO that a
diet OF oysters is unquestionably good
for the nerves. They also contain com
mon salt, little copper and several
phosphates. And, taking the whole con-
tents of the oyster shell. one finds al
most everything necessary for the food
of the body.

SIMPLY BECAME
MORE LIBERAL
No New Creed at Union TheO-
logical Seminary.
SOME UGLY COMMENTS MADE
NAMES OF THE DONORS OF THE
$4,000 MADE PUBLIC.

New York Nov 27.-The givers of the
$4,000 to the Union Theological semi
nary, following an announcement of its
attitude toward the Westminster con-
fession 0f faih, are Morris K. Jessup
and the widow of William Earl Dodge.
Mrs. Dodge has pledged $4,000 for the
establishment of a chair for applied
Christianity, while Mr.. Jessup, who is
a director of the semeinary, has given
a like sum for the establishment of a
bility in the matter of teaching.
At the same meeting at which the
amendment relating to the Westminster
confession was adopted. another
amendment. it is said. was proposed,
providing that candidates for the facul-
ty or directorate of the seminary shall
be members Of an evangelical church
This amendment was deferred to the
next meeting, which will not take place
probably until February.
Rev. DR.. James NJ Ludlow of Orange,
n. j., director in the seminary. today
denied that the seminary had discarded
the Westminster confession of faith in
any particular. The seminary he said,
had simply provided for greater fleXi-
bility in the matter of eaching.
Rev DR.. Thomas s. Hastings. pro-
lessor OF pastoral theology and expires
ident Of the seminary, entered a strong
demurrer to the declaration said to have
been made by Rev. Dr. David Schley
Schaeff, professor of church history at
the Western Theological seminary, Ale
gheny City. that the Union Theological
seminary has substituted a new creed
of its own. Dr.. Hastings said that the
removal of the provisions requiring a
subscription TO the confession by no
means implied that the faculty thought
less of the confession.

Found a Woman in Company
With Her Husband and
Shot Her.

Roanoke, Va. Nov. 27.-Reports of
sensational murder on the line between
Wayne and Mingo counties, West Vir-
ginia, have reached here. The wife of
William Workman. a saloonkeeper at
the mouth of Marrowbone creek. was
the principal in the tragedy, and Mrs.
Margaret Hoffman was the victim of
her jealous anger.
Workman, whose home is at Dingess,
has been attending the saloon at Mar
rowbone, twelve miles away, leaving
Mrs. Workman at Dingess to look after
household matters. Travellers passing
between Dingess and Marrowbone
brought to Mrs. Workman's ears re-
ports of WOrkmans attentions TO the
Hoffman woman. Finally, goaded to
jealous madness by the continued re-
ports, she determined TO go on a tour
of inspection. Armed with a revolver
she started for the saloon. She arrived
there shortly before daylight.
Letting herself in by The use OF a
private key, she went quietly up to the
sleeping apartments overhead, and
finding her husband and the woman to-
gether, opened fire. Two shots took
effect before she could be disarmed,
and the Hoffman woman was mortally
wounded. At last reports the infuriated
woman was stopping with a relative in
the neighbOrhood and had not been ar
rested.

JEALOUS WIFE's DEED SOUTH is NOT ALONE
Crumpacker Bill Would Cause
a Shaking Up in North
ern States.

Washington, Nov 27.-Representa-
tives from the south who are arriving
in town have no fear that the Repub-
leans will force the fighting on the
Crumpacker bill for the reduction Of
representation in congress from the
south by reason of the suppression Of
the negro vote.
Judge Clayton of the house. judiciary
committee pointed out that the Repub-
licans would be in a dilemma even IL
they passed such a bill, because by the
act Of reducing representation they
would be obliged TO officially recognize
the suppression of the negro vote.
Judge Clayton said. i'm part:
L do not believe anything will be
done about any reapportionment OF the
southern representation in congress be-
yOnd the possible appointment Of a
committee to inquire into conditions. l
have no fear Of the Republican major
ity undertaking any reapportionment.
If they have a reapportionment in the
south they will have to have It in the
north and west In Massachusetts,
where there are very considerable re-
strictions. and in California, where the
large Chinese population is without
vote by federal restriction, the reduc-
ton of representation would work eff
fectively under any law that could APP
ply TO any of the southern states.
Then, again, a restriction of the
representation OF the southern states
would mean giving the approval Of
congress to an elimination of the vote
of the colored people. 1 don't think the
majority is likely to do that. l am not
at all alarmed when l hear talk about
restricting the representation of the
southern states"

Rays Test Cables.
(Harper's Weeklvl

A novel application of the Roentgen
rays to the testing of submarine cables
has recently been made in Europe, and
has been found useful in determining
defects and imperfections which might
cause A breakdown of the cable and
involve considerable expense for re-
pairs. The apparatus p, consists of a
Roentgen ray tube, above which is a
fiuorescent screen. While the cable to
be tested is passed through guides just
below, so that a shadow is cast on the
screen. The cable is allowed TO run
through the testing apparatus, and the
observer looks for any indication of a
fault in the shadow. Foreign sub
stances, air bubbles or bad joints in the
rubber or gutta- percha cfnsulation are
readily detected. and may. be remedied
at the works. Imperfections of this
kind can remain unnoticed by other
tests, and a cable with such Imperfect
tons may be laid on the sea bottom
at great expense and operated for a
number of years before it viii fail.
