There is "nothing doing" in
the matter between Russia and
Japan just at present. at least
nothing that is positively known.
Each of the belligerents is con-
c%entrating an enormous army on
opposite banks of the Yalu river
and q great land battle is ex-
pected. But the censorship OF
dispatches is SO thorough that
but little reliable information

PLUM PUDDING AS FOOD.

and the other Of 50.
II appears that, although most agree
able as an article OF food, plum pudding
is not quite so concentrated 81 form Of
diet as has been supposed, and conjec-
lures that IT yields az much slsienance
as beefsteak are certainly not supported
by its chemical composition. The
amount OF nitrOgenous matter IS only
moderate. and it must be remembered
that IN calculating the nutrient ratio
and value all the nitrogen has been as
sumed to be albumlnoid. Probably the
true albuminoids and consequently the
food value are slightly lower than would
appear from the results; also tho per-
centage Of water {. rather large and
