The machine Is set upon a tripod
arrangement, at the top Of which is an
iron food receptacle, with suction
pump in the bottom. This pump is
operated by pedal. After passing
the end of the tube through which ths
food is forced through the chickens
mouth until it reaches the crop the
pedal Is worked until the crop is full,
when the man in charge of the ma
chine removes his foot from the
pedal, stopping the flow of food In
stantly. Despite the seeming cruelty,
the chicken is not injured by the
operation. The illustration shows how
the chicken is held while being fed.
but the tube Is beside the fowl, ex-
tending to about the point it would
reach when inserted in its mouth.
One man can feed 800 chickens in
this manner twice day If he is at all
snry. While the chickens are on this
diet they are kept In close confine-
ment are given no exercise, and are

RUSSIAN PROPHET
Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
100 Years Ago.

Predicted Japanese Supremacy Nearly
100 Years Ago.
That the Japanese would one day be
rulers Of the ocean coast of Asia is
the prediction made almost a century
ago In the book of Russian naval
observer, whose prophecy seems not
unlikely of fulfllment at the present
time. In 1911 Capt. Vasill Golawin, of
the imperial navy, was instructed to
cruise among the coral archipelagoes
of the Pacific to ascertain which of
these were inhabited by the japanese,
and accordingly he set sail from Odes-
sa In the Diana, arriving some two
months later OF the coast Of Yezo.
But one or two copies of Capt. Cola
wins book are extant, one Of them
being in the library of the Winter Pal
ace at st. Petersburg.
Published in 1915, Capt. Golawin's
Captivity in Japan" throws an inter-
esting light upon the physical and
moral chara cteristics of the Japanese
nation 1t Ii time when little, if any
thing, definite was known by Euro
peans-particularly in Russia-of the
traits of the Mongolian island people.
OF the observations contained in Capt.
Golawin's book the following are Of
current interest: II praise the jap
anese for their skill. They will one
day be, probably, rulers of the ocean
coast Of Asia. And what can Russia
do, being so far away from this bor-
der? Should the Japanese introduce
European civilization and European
political systems. the Chinese would
be obliged to do the same, and those
two people could then give Europe AN
other face Happenings such as the
Chwostow raids Q79D would give sug-
gestion to them to build European
warships, and a small feet could be
raised to begin with. Many European n
inventions could be reproduced in
Japan-and without the brains of a
Peter the Great-simply by the COM
binatio Of circumstances and the nat
ural advantages Of Japan.
Certainly, with European models,
Japan could build men Of war very
easily and man them quickly with
brave soldiers. The population is Pc
culiarly adaptable to naval require
ments by reason of the insular posi-
ton of the country. The people COM
prehend easily, and, given adequate
instruction, would supplant Europeans
as navigators.
"The Japanese lack only one quail
ity, namely: terrestrial bravery; but
their deficiency in this respect is only
because Of the peace-loving character
of their government. After very
long time they lose all capacity to
shed blood. l think an entire people
not timid, however, whose forefathers
were the terrors of the whole world"

WILL WE EVER KNOW?
Cars Government Keeps North Sea
Incident a Secret.

LOndon.-It begins to seem doubtful
whether the world will ever know
much more about the North sea trag-
edy than it knows now. Everything
London learns concerning the attitude
of the Russians lends itself to the view
that the czar's government has deter
mined so far as it is able to suppress
the truth touching the horrible affair.
1t is not believed here by those whose
opinions are entitled to the greatest
weight that the Russian admiralty is
without full information of what took
place off the Doggerbank. On the con-
trary, it is believed that the Russian
authorities are in possession of facts
which show that her warships fought
one another with shot and shell, and
that there was not the sign Of an en-
emy anywhere about.

In families where household pets
ions OF small children, parents should
take the greatest care to see that these
pets are always in perfect health and
kept clean. Many of the small animals
and birds most frequently chosen as
pets are very likely to fall victims to
various diseases, especially tubercu-
losis and diphtheria. 1t is natural for
birds and animals to live in the open
air, and confinement is probably the
cause Of their great proneness to con.
sumption. 1t Is certain that very few
city dogs get nearly enough exercise,
and therefore are generally troubled
with indigestion and foul breath. Cats.
even oftener than dogs, are victims of
tuberculosis. This disease is extremely
vague in it's earlier symptoms, and
often slow. 1t does not require much
thought to see how dangerous it must
be for young children to romp with
and caress a consumptive pet. The
sight Of tiny child seated on the
floor and playing with a constantly
sneezing kitten of doubtful physique
is shocking sight, but is witnessed
only too often. Parasites constitute
great danger, especially from cats.
Many cases Of ringworm in children
luay be traced to the cat. Therefore,
where the pet habit is ingrained and
cannot be overcome-indeed, it Is not
wise wholly to deny children their
kept for the first slight symptoms Of
indispOsltion.

BIG SENSATION AT BELGRADE.
Newspaper Says Russia Was Re
sponsible for Regicide.

Belgrade.-A great sensation has
been caused by the statement of the
newspaper Narodillist that it has
proofs to the effect that the regicides
and conspirators are spreading among
the people. The assertion is made that
1t was Russia which desired the re-
moval of the Obrenovich dynasty. 1t
is claimed by the paper that Rus.
sian official frequently had a confiden.
tial conference with the principal act
ors of the tragedy.
1t is pointed out by the paper that
every one of the regicides has received
the star of Karageorgevich, and the
statement is now made that they are
soon to receive some distinction from
the cZar of Russia.
The editor of the paper challenges
the Servian government to start an
action against him, as he says he is
prepared to prove his statements in
the courts.

HOW TO COOK MEAT.
Ovsn Rules Determined by Scientific
1nvestigation.

xuve0t1Xot1Ons
The cook book compilers have
adopted certain empirical laws regu-
lating the cooking Of meat but as
these are largely the result Of casual
observation, they do not accurately
represent the facts, says the Philadel-
phia Record. For several years the
University Of Illinois, working in CO.
operation with the State experiment
station, has been studying the question
Of losses in cooking different kinds
and cuts Of meat, consequent changes
In its nutritive value, the development
Of flavor, ETC., and the results Of their
experimentation have just been pub
lished by the government
AS regards temperature. authorities
on cookery agree quite generally that
meat should be subjected at once to
degree Of heat which will scar the
outside of the roast, so that the juices
may be retained. The experiments
just concluded show that with oven
temperatures ranging from 1872 to 800
degrees Fahrenheit the losses IL,
weight, due principally to the evap-
Grafton Of water, varied from 6 to 20
per cent, and, generally speaking, the
higher the temperature the greater
the loss.
However, in order to develop the
characteristic favors Of cooked meat
q tempeature of at least 4S2 degrees
Fahrenheit Is necessary. When meat

baked slowly, at comparatively low
temperature. the roast Is evenly cook
ed throughout and the juices we'll re-
tained, but the savoriness and flavor
produced by higher temperatures are
lacking. In regard to the length Of
time required to attain any desired
degree Of cooking, as indicated by the
color, it was found that thirteen min-
utes per pound and thirteen minutes
to the oven gave that degree Of cook
Ing known as "rare." Fifteen minutes
to the oven and fifteen minutes to the
pound produced the degree Of cooking
known as medium" Twenty minutes

gave that degree known as "well

the degree Of cooking and the losses
incurred in the process.
The effect Of different shapes and
sizes of pans was also observed.
Closed pans, while effecting a saving
in weight, produced meat of inferior
