Prof Wilbur O. Atwater of Wesleyan Uni

that alcohol has a food value. is very low
here from the effects of a paralytic shock
which he suffered last spring.
Physicians say that he live only
short time.
When Prof Atwater first suffered the
shock Il not supposed to be of so seri-
Gus nature, and 1t was thought that with
a rest he would be able to resume his work
at the college. Consequently ne was sent
to a sanitarium at Washington, D. c. He
did not improve however. and was then
brought home. Since then he has been
growing weaker physically and mentally.
1t was in 1892 that Prof. Atwater made
his Investigations to the food value OF
alcohol At that time he was made mem
Der of a committee of fifty, of which ex-
Mayor Seth Low of New York city was
chairman. to investigate the whiskey or

work was to determine the nutritive value
of alcohol. For months he conducted ex-
periments in the calorimeter along this line,
and later announced that alcohol did per-
form certain functions of food and there
fore possessed a food value.

SHOWERS AND COOLER.
Prediction by Prof. Henry of the
Weather Bureau.

Probable showers tomorrow was the pre-
diction made by Prof. Henry of the weather
bureau this afternoon. He also said the
weather would become cooler by Sunday.
Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the wealth
er service, will put into use next winter at
the meteorological stations in the western
mountains a brand-new style of snow gauge
which was devised and manufactured at the
weather bureau shops in this city under
Prof. Moore's direction. 1t is designed to
enable the weather observers to discover
the amount of water they are going to get
from the snow when the thaw comes in the
spring. Water Is scarce out there at times,
and at other times it is anything but scarce,
and when it.does come plentifully II is plen-
tiful enough to cause untold disaster.

ed that during the day the crack shots from
the national capital had made a squirt and
moved forward from fourteenth 10 sixth
place in the race. which was far greater
progress than made by any other OF

I'VE feel greatly encouraged said Maj.

Furthermore, all of them are in the very

when the last shot in the match shall have
been fired this evening. the District of Co

of the ladder than the sixth running.
Excellent work on the skirmish range

Ideal Conditions Prevail.

The conditions for shooting today, espe
cially at such long distance as 1000
yards, are well nigh perfect. The glare of
the sun is relieved by occasional clouds,
and the breeze that prevails is a gentle
one and by no means bothersome. The
District team hopes to do better on the
900 yards range than 1t did at some of the
shorter distances.
The indications are that the match will
be finished and the results known tonight.
The general belief is that New York, for
the third successive time, will carry off
the national trophy. How the other com
petitors will stand at the finish is uncer-
tain.
