The Diet-Cure in Japan.
From the Sanitary Journal.

From the SANITARY JOurndi
Japan has diet specialist. whose name Is
Sagen Ishidsuka; he is often regarded as
an advocate of tho yegetarianlsm; but he
Is not a vegetarian In the literary sense.
Both of his grandfather and his father prac-
ticed In the Chinese school of medicine,
and he also learned Chinese pathology In
his earlier age; then the western medicine
through Dutch books which were imported
into the country even before the Taikoon
did not take the open port policy. DR.. Ishi-
dsuka Is now quite an old man. While he
was under the service of the imperial army
as a military pharmacist. he had taken spe-
cill interest In studying the relation of
health and diet, and has been investigating
scientifically what Is the proper food for
mankind. He has reached the conclusion
that nearly all Illness comes out of the
improper diet. The construction of human
teeth is the best proof that the grain food
is most suitable one for the man, he says.
According to the opinion OF DR.. IshidSuka,
those who engage In the work of muscle
only may take the meat for their food
1t Is not always the suitable food for the
man of every occupation; those who engage
IN brain work well as those who spend
their days in idle manner ought to take
the simple vegetable food. Tie reason why
there are so many unhealthy persons among
the japanese mobiles Is that they take nitro
genous substance as their essential food
while they never work hard, Is his opinion
He gives the directions of the diet to any
patients who requests his consultations, aft
er he has examined the latter's physical
condition. and is gaining good results There
are many mobiles, at present, who are under
his ward. He publishes a monthly maya
zine for the special purpose of propagating
his gospel for the diet cure.
1t is said by Schopenhauer that the trout
BILE OF stomach makes man pesslmistic.
Laughing has good effect on the digestion in
stomach, say the modern physiological
psychologists. This Is the reason why the
optimist laughs all day and night.

therefore, is a very indefinite one, but lab

DIR. James Dewar recently delivered his
first lecture of series of discourses at the
Royal Institute, London His subject
was. New Low Temperature Phenomena"
Sir James name has been constantly before
the public in connection with liquid air
demonstrations, and few scientists have ac-
complished many new results In its use.
But Sir James has been able to attain far
lower temperatures than that of liquid or
even solid air. By It's means he has sue
ceeded in liquefying every known gas, with
the single exception of helium, and has
reached temperature of minus 253 degrees

this Is attained there Is little difficulty in

no limit to the degree to which bodies can

there Is limit, and that Sir James has very
nearly reached 1t.
II heat be a form OF energy or q mode of
motion. and cold be simply the relative abb

not be cooled indefinitely, since the amount
of heat energy within them must be finite.
There must be, then. an absolute zero of
temperature which bodies will have reached
when all the heat has been taken out of
them. This follows inevitably from the
modern conception Of heat as mode

Of motion" The determination of the de-
gree to which body must be cooled SO
as to be absolutely cold would appear I'M
possible, but 1t Is not so. Considerations OF
various kinds, notably those relating to the
shrinkage in gas it Is cooled. have led
physicians to agree that the absolute zero
must be at minus 273 degrees centigrade.
But nowadays physicists are ceasing to use
the centigrade scale-let alone the ridicu-
lousy obsolete Fahrenheit to which this
conservative people adheres-but are follow
ing the advice originally given by Lord
Kelvin to make the absolute zero the zero
of their scale. Thus we say that the tenn
perature of liquid hydrogen is about 20 de-
grees absolute. and that Prof Dewar has
probably touched a temperature as low as
seven or eight degrees absolute. or even
little lower still.

Cost Of Rural Free Delivery.

In 1897, when the rural service was
started on probation, $4,000 was
deemed sufficient for it's trial. During
the fiscal year that ended June 80,
1904, nearly $13,OOO,OOO was expended
for rural free delivery. For the fiscal
year upon which we have now entered
$2O,ol6,6OO has been appropriated for
the continuance and extension of the
rural mail service. There were "A, SIC
