WOODEN BREAD.
1t Is Possible to- Make Palatable
Lunf From Saxvdust.

LuAf From Saw0uSt.
AS long ago as 1884 Professor Aute-
rith OF Tubingen succeeded in making
a tOleraDly good Quartern loaf out of a
deal board. Everything soluble was
removed by maceration and boiling;
the wood was then reduced to tibers,
dried in an oven and ground. when it
had the taste and smell of corn flour.
A sponge was then made by the addi-
ton of water and the sour leaven of
corn flour and it was baked and found
to be better than Il compound of bran
and corn luSkS.
Wood flour boiled in water forms
also a nutritious jelly, which the pro-
fessor found both palatable and whole
some in the form of Cruel. dumplngs
and pancakes.
Professor Rrande has also recorded
the making of bread from woody fiber
He says: Before me is Il specimen i'm
ported from Sweden. Seeing the close
relation between the composition of
starch and lignine. the conversion of
the latter into bread does not seem so
remarkable" He also cannot praise
the quality of such bread.

The ''tick took" that is universally

results when the right arm OF the es-

"tock" is produced when the other
arm strikes a cog moving downward.
