TESTING FOOD FOR CATTLE
Experiments in Diet Conducted at the
University Of Pennsylvania
Respiration a Factor.

Yale having conducted a series of
food tests with rockies" supplied by
the United States army and by volun-
teers from the athletic department of
the university, the State College of
Pennsylvania, at Harrisburg, carried
on q series of experiments of exactly
the same nature with cattle, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. The Pennsylvania
experiments were all directed toward
the scientific feeding Of cattle, to find
out exactly what foods are the best
adapted to produce the best milk, the
best flesh and best butter. It was not
the plan of the Pennsylvania scientists
who conducted the tests to starve
scientifically the cattle with which
they made the experiments, nor to
try the effects Of poisons on them. On
the contrary the sole purpose of the
tests has been to find out what foods.
or combinations of foods, will pro-
duce the richest results and the cost
hereof. To make their tests correct.
they have invented, what they, call a
respiration calorimeter. It is an .ap-
par atus which. measures with, exact
ness the gases given of by a COW or
OK, aud the heat generated in the ami
mails body during, the process of as
sim ilation. The respiration part of the
apparatus attends to" the gases and the
calorimeter to the temperature. IN
thin machine for months past q series
of the most interesting and to agricul-
ture the most valuable tests have been
made, and the scientists who super
vised them are enthusiastic over the
results that they have secured.

What is an "olds man kangaroo

IAN ordinary English mile is 1,760

A Crop Of Antique Corn.

Several years ago, in exploring an
Indian mound in the southwest part
of Missouri, quantity of corn was
found. Some of this corn was plant
ed, and, to the surprise of all, it ger
minated and matured. How long 1t
had lain in the mound, on which large
trees were growing, no one can con-
lecture several hundred
years. Last fall citizen of James,
port, Mo-, secured handful of this
corn and now has a dozen hills of it
growing in his garden. The grains are
about the usual size of field corn, but
are of deep brown, notified with

CHAPTER XIX.-CoHruurp.

Via A1As-C<NTI0OED.
The letter was long one and told
many things. The first part of it Kate
read to herself and kept to herself.
tor in burning words it assured her
that he loved her and would always
love her, and that no misfortune of
her own nor wrongdoings of others
could prevent him from Offering her
his most ardent and Interchangeable at
lection. Moreover, he begged and i'm
plored her to accept that affection, 10
accept it now that it might belong to
her forever. Happiness, he said,
seemed opening before her; he i'm
plored her to allow him to share that
happiness with her. The rest of this
letter was read most jubilantly aloud.
It told of news which had come to
Newcombe from Honduras gulf great
news, wonderful news, which would
make the heart sing. Maj Bonnet was
at Belize. He had given up all con-
nection with piracy and was now en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. This
was positively true, for the person
who had sent the news to Bridgetown
had seen Maj. Bonnet and had talked
to him, and had been informed by him
that he had given up his ship and was
now IAN accountant and commission
agent doing business at that place.
The sender of this great news also
stated that Ben Greenway was with
Maj. Bonnet, working as his assistant
and here Dame Charter sat OPEN
mouthed and her heart nearly stopped
beating-young Dickory Charter had
also been In the port and had gone
away, but was expected ere long to
return.
Kate stood on her tip-toes and
waved the letter over her head.
ITO Belize, my dear uncle to Belize!
II we cannot get there any other way
we must go in boat with oars. We
must fly, we must not wait"
The opportunities for fgurative fly
Ing were not wanting. There were no
vessels in the port which might be
engaged for an indeterminate voyage,
but there was goodly sloop about to
sail In ballast for Belize Before sun
set three passages were engaged upon
this sloop.
1t was bright morning when, with
fair wind upon her starboard bow,
the sloop Belinda, bearing the jubilanl
three, sailed southwark on her course
to the coast of Honduras; and it was
upon that same morning that the good
ship Revenge, bearing the pirate
Blackboard and his handsomely uni
formed lieutenant, sailed northward,
the same fair wind upon her port bow.

WAITER WHO WAS AN ACTOR.
His Stage Salary Was Not Enough
to Keep Him in Idleness Dur
ing Summer.

1T is not only college boys that earn
vacation money by working as walters

man who lives at his club all summer
while his family is at the seaside, re-
lates the Times. Last week was up
the New England coast arranging to
settle the folks. l had to hurry away
from the city during the first hot spell
with good deal of unfinished busl-
ness on my hands. The thought Of
spending an idle evening in the coun-
try hotel worried me. My waiter at
table seemed nice young fellow, and
I said to him:
Il suppose can't get a stenograph-
er and typewriter around here with

he asked.
"'Well, should like, it first thing in
the morning. replied. 'Why?'
''The young man went away without
replying, and as the landlord came up
to speak to me just then forgot ali
about the matter. After dinner, while
I was taking a stroll and a smoke, my
waiter came up to me. If you will
come to my room down the street, he
said. I shall be happy to take those
letters for you at the same rate per
folio you would pay for them in the
city. They shall be ready before you

ZO n pear, Dlckory Charter
was not a very unhappy
young fellow as he stood in his fine
uniform on the quarterback of the Re-
venge, the fresh breeze ruff1ing his
brown curls when he lifted his heavy
cooked hat.
True, he was leaving behind him
his friends, Capt. Bonnet and Ben
Greenway, with whom the wayward
Blackboard would allow no word OF
leave-taking; true, he was going, he
knew not where, and in the power
Of a man noted the new world over
for his savage eccentricities; and true
he might soon be sailing, hour by
hour, farther and farther away from
the island on which dwelt the angel
Kate-that angel Kate and his moth
er. But none of these considerations
could keep down the glad feeling that
he was going, that he was moving.
Moreover, in answer to one of his I'M
plssioned appeals to be set ashore at
zsmaica, Blackboard had said to him
that if he should get tired of him he
. did .Qt see, at that moment, any rea-
son why he should not put him on
board some convenient vessel and
have him landed at Kingston.
Dickory did not believe very much
In the black-bearded pirate, with his
wild tricks and inhuman high spirits,
but Jamaica lay to the east, and he
was going eastward.
Incited, perhaps, by the possession
of fine ship, manned by crew
picked from his old vessel and from
the men who had formed the crew of
the Revenge, Blackboard was in better
spirits than was his wont, and SO far
as his nature would allow he treated
Dickory with fair good humor. But
no matter what happened, his unre-
strained imagination never failed him.
Having taken the fancy to see Dick
DRY always in full uniform, he allowed
him to assume no other clothes; he
was always in naval full-drcss and
cooked hat, and his duties were those
Of private secretary.

admiral to write my log and straighten
my accounts"
Sometimes, in his -quieter moods,
when there was no provocatioE. to
send pistol balls between two sailors
quietly conversing, or to perform some
other demoniac trick, Blackboard
would talk to Dickory and ask al
manner of questions, some of which
the young man answered, while some
he tried not to answer. Thus 1t was
that the pirate found out great deal
more about Dickory's life, hope and
ssorrows than the young fellow imagg-
1ned that he made known. He discov-
cred that Dickory was greatly interest

To AII0i Osags Lands
Treaty Gives Each Usage 100 Acres
OF Land Big Heart Lost.

Pawhuska, o. r.. Feb. 2s.-In
letters received here lately from
Washington members of the Usage
treaty delegation say that a treaty
practically has been decided upon
for the allotment Of the Usage lands
and the per capita division Of tribal
funds. The treaty as now written
gives each Usage citizen 100 acres
Of land and permits him to select
Of his own choice eighty acres Of oil
and gas land. The remaining sur
plus is to be divided equally among
the tribal citizens. 1t is alleged
that the deal to perpetuate the
blanket lease Of the Indian Terri
tory eliminating oil companies will
be broken. The Governor Big
Heart combine was defeated, ac-
cording TO these letters, through
the representation Of mixed bloods,
assisted by full bloods who have
grown suspicious Of Big Hearts
sincerity. The sojourn Of the dele
CATION was enlivened BY an en-
counter between Big Heart and
Bacon Rind, in which Big Heart
came out second best.
