Electricity and Bread.

From the Scientific American.
The mower of the electric current to de-
compose certain substances in singular
way has led to important development
of chemistry In this connection
experiments have recently been made in
Paris, seeking an improvement in bread
making.
IaborIng under the mistaken impression
that the Wilderness of wheat bread deter
mines its quality-that the whittier the bread
the better-the Partisan public has for years
been growing more and more exacting on
this score, consequently the fneness of grain
flour has been gradually approaching a
limit. The public has. as consequence, re-
ceived a less nutritive food, it being a
known fact that the core of the wheat
grain. which is the chief constituent of
bread while producing the whitest flour, at
the same time contains the smallest amount
of albumen and is thus least nutritious.
There has recently been raised the hope
of obtaining a white bread by aid of cleo
tricity. for which purpose the -four was
brought in contact with electrified air,
whose ozone possesses eftcactous bleaching
properties. A report to the Academy OF
Sciences at Paris on the result OF an ex-
pertinent with -four treated in both the
ordinary way and by electricity, under sim
liar conditions, explains that the -four sub
jected TO electric influence was much whittier
in color, but that its taste and odor were
far inferior to those of flour treated by the
ordinary method. The amount of phospho-
rus was the same in both. but the quantities
of fatty and acid substances varied largely
Thus, in -four treated by electricity IKE
fatty substances proved rancid. glutinous
and of a less yellowish color. and instead of
retaining their usual aromatic yellow state
became oxidized and partly converted into
white sebacic acid, which could be dis
solved in alcohol. The glutinous substances
were discolored and changed.
The bread made from this -four was
whittier than usual but of inferior taste, and
the experiment serves to demonstrate that
electric treatment while successfully turn
ing -four whittier Injuries 1t.

Oregon Not All Stolen.

From Golfers Weekly
Oregon has for years been afflicted with
a cancer known as the land conscience. 1t
has fastened itself upon it's highest as well
as it's humblest citizens. But there is yet
good land in oregon that has not been
stolen, and the judicial disinfectant which
the United States government is now APP
plying is fast retaining much of the land
that was appropriated" The patriarchal
boards were wise enough to lay claim to
q good thing. Oregon Is great state.
AS an agricultural state it is as old ard
well tried as Minnesota, Kapsas or Nebras-
ka. The Willamette river valley Is a
matchless farming land. 1t was the Mecca
of ambitious agriculturists before gold was
discovered in California. The dairy prod
ucts of that one valley alone amount to
81, 100000 a year. and the prize beef at st.

New in Wheelbarrows.

From the New York sun.
MISCELLANEOUS of steel or wood, or COM
bination of these materials, are made IN
great variety of form and construction, and
for many special uses; but perhaps the
newest thing in wheelbarrows is one made
with a folding steel frame. which can be
knocked down for shipment. The body and
handles of this wheelbarrow are OF wood,
but the legs and braces, constituting the
supporting frame are of steel and are nv
eted together and bolted TO the body when
the ygheelbarrow is set up.
The folding steel frame wheelbarrow may,
by virtue of its cOllapsibility. present an
other advantage. 1t is a garden barrow.

row would make, for him, considerable of a
bundle TO carry: but he could probably get

fifteen or twenty people in getting on and
off the cars with ii, where he couldn't have
carried an oid-style wheelbarrow at all.

WHY DOCTORS DIE YOUNG.
Excessive Nervous Strain and Insult
ficent Rest Take Them OFF.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
The premature death of physicians has
long been known, but it receives too little
comment, as a study of the causes must
suggest Il remedy or two. The ffty-fifth
annual report OF the registrar general
shows that the diseases which claim the
most victims among physicians relatively
to all males are govt and diabetes, and THAT
there is a high relative mortality from dis
eases of the nervous system. clrculatory
system and kidneys.
From the nature of his habits the phySi-
elan is not subject to accidents. and though
he is brought into contact with infection TO
a greater extent than other men his pre-
ventlve means are successful and his NOR
tally from Infection is low. Freedom from
prolonged muscular strains and high bOoQ
tension apparently saves him from arterl-
oscierosis, but suicide claims many and
so do the drug habits acquired BY the nerV-
ously exhausted. 1t has been said that
three-fourths of French morphine users are
physicians.
The cause of the physicians early death
is evidently the excessive nervous eXpendi-
ture, insufficient rest and defective nutri-
ton inseparable from his calling with IT'S
broken and restricted sleep, irregular hours
of work, rest and meals. the worry when
lives depend upon his Judgment and the
lack of a day of complete relaxation in
each week. No race can survive unless It's
customs provide for numerous holidays
when care is thrown to the winds, for no
nervous system is capable of constant
strain.

Bulgaria GA Vassal State"
on the London Pail Mall Gazette.

Rome correspondence.--It is very simple
to Say hold a congress-" but quite the
other thing to engineer It. This has come
literally true for Signor Tittoni minister
of foreign affairs, in the agriculturist con-
gress just closed. The powers were classed
alphabetically, so that Bulgaria supposed
she would head the list but to her disgust
found herself classed as a vassal state to
Turkey. Could insult go further Protests,
remonstrances and almost threats followed,
but Signor Titton stood firm during the
storm his contention being that he was only
following the precedent created at The
Hague conference whereupon the indignant
Bulgarian diplomatic agent to Rome with
drew the adhesion of his country to the con-
gress, although the minister of agriculture
of Bulgaria, the director of the Bulgarian
agricultural bank and a court chamberlain
had already arrived as delegates. The work
of the congress proceeded, and meanwhile
the Bulgarian delegates did the city and
tried not 10 feel out in the cold. Ultimate
ly way was found for solving the incl
dent. A clause was added to the protocol
that even the powers which had taken no
part in the congress might adhere to the
results Bulgaria, tired of her isolation, ac-
cepted the olive branch and signed with
the others, and thus war is again averted!

EXPENSIVE EC0N.OM z

On the day after she reached the country
with the children she wanted TO telegraph
to her husband whom She had left par
boiling in Neutrality-suspicious. she had
thoughtlessl,' left some of her money be-
hind, and to have him forward 1t TO her by
registered mail
Now, there never was woman yet that
would send a telegram of mere than ten
words unless the circumstances were ex-
traorainary. even If all words beyond ten
words were only fairfield at the rate of a
mill word.
In order to properly convey her meaning
to her husband tie shortest message pos
sible, after all sorts of deletions, would
have been about follows:
Forgot part of money. In bottom third
drawer chifonier, spare room, beneath
shirts. Send Immediately registered.
Here, however, were sixteen words.
She bit the end of her pen in the telegraph
office over the problem and screwed up her
forehead and dabhed at her face with her
moist handkerchief. and was in Il sad stew
over the thing.
But wild horses wouldn't have forced her
beyond the ten-word deadline. Women are
instnctively against all sorts of corpora
tons, but their objection.to hurting single
penny more than necessary into the golfers
of a telegraph company is rooted, ele-
mental passion
So, after much heated worry, she crowded
it down this way:
Left money in bottom of third drawer
chiffonier spare room.
That made a pat ten words. and she sent
the message off, blissfully believing that
she'd receive a registered letter on the fol-
lowing morning.
Her husband was sitting in the dining
room in state of gloom when he received
the message. He had sat into a small game
on the previous evening. and when 1t was
all over he was counting on the ends of his
fingers the days TO elapSe before the next
walking of the disburslng clerks ghost.
The receipt of his wfe's telegram had
found him specializing upon what sort of
delirious riot it would be possible for him
to engage in that evening on cash capital
of II cents. and his neglige shirts still I'M

ner.
He tore up the stairs three at clip when
he had read the telegram, and when his

drawer of the spare room chffonier the lit

spots, he experienced a sensation OF gen

In Paris they are still talking of the late

way in which he steadied the French mar
ket of Russian securities down to the last
