A FAMOUS problem.
u nid Not Take Newton Long to
Find the Correct Solution.


In Newton's time it was often the
custom for illustrious mathematlcIans.
When they had discovered n solution
tor some new and striking problem, to
puDllsh that problem as a challenge to
me world while Withholding their own
solution. A famous instance of this Ia
found In what is known as the Brachis-
tochrone problem, which was solved by
Jonn Bernouilli. The nature of this
problem may be mentioned. It was to
una the shape Of the curve along which
a body would slide down from one
point (A) to another OBJ in the shortest
time. 1t might at first be thought that
the straight line from A to B, as 1t is
undoubtedly the shortest distance be-
tween the points, would also be the
path OF quickest descent, but this Is
not so.
There Is a curved line down which a
bead. let US say, would run on a
smooth wire from A to b in a shorter
time than the same bead would re-
quire to run down the straight wire.
Bernouilf's problem was to find out
what that curve must be.
Newton solved 1t correctly. He
showed that the curve was a part of
what is termed a cycloid-that is to
say. curve like that which is de-
scribed by nail on the rim Of a car
riage wheel AS the wheel runs along the
ground. Such was Newton's geomet-
rical insight that he was able to trans
NIT a solution Of the problem on the
day after he had received 1t to the
president of the Royal society.

Pure Food and Its True Meaning

through lack of such protection. In a
very liberal per cent of cases where the
certificate of the medical officer reads,
died from natural causes the true
certificate would read, poisoned by
ptOmaines administered in accordance
with the statute in such cases made
and provided
Formaldehyde, while very valuable as
a disinfecting agent, is extremely dan
gerous and poisonous as a preservat.Ve
for food products. Salicylic acid is used
quite largely as d preservative, but IS
much milder than fOrmaldehyde in its
preserving qualities. and il is still q
debatable question whether it is inju-
riOus when used in proper amounts
Boric acid is one of the mildest of the
preserving agents, and it has not been
proven that it is harmful when used
with intelligence. The peroxides of
some of the metals, sodium, calcium,
etc, are being brought before the med
ical world as personalities of great
merit ION account of their high oxygen
value), and it no wremains for time
and experience to prove their real
value.
Among some of the so-called adulter-
ants lately misTepresented through the
papers are:
Glucose. which is form of grape
sugar and is used largely by confec-
TONERS, being more suitable in making
certain kind of cand es than either
cane or beet sugar, and according TO
the latest medical authority is in no
way more harmful than other forms of
sugar.
Vanillin in its natural state is the ac-
tive f1avoring principal of the vanille
bean; but through the prayers of
chemical science IS now produced ar
tificia1ly from eugenol, which is the
principal part of Glove oil. and is no
way an adulterant nor injurious to the
human system when used as flavor
ing agent. An extract properly made
from vanillin is no more injurious than
one prepared from the bean, and in
great many cases IS much to be pre-
feTred in flavoring quality. This (vann-
lin), however must not be cOnfoUnded
with coumarine from which some cheap
extracts are made, as it possesses poi
sonous properties and is obtained from
an entirely different source.
Saccharine chemically known as ben
20 sulphuridum. IS practically a new
synthetic of chemical industry, and IS
said to be 500 times sweeter than sugar,
has been approved by medical science
made official in the new United States
Pharmocopoeia, and is used by med
ical men in doses of from 1 to grains
in certain cases IS preference to
sugar. They have not found any phy-
Biological action that would classify If
as a poison, and when used with intel
ligence is entirely harmless in its place.
If we are not going to use the new
products of science, how are we going
to progress. The vital question is whae
preservatives and colOring agents to
use under conditions'that require them
Let us be governed by common sense
and the needs and tastes of the public
and unite with the aid of skillful am
experienced workmen in bringing about
an improved condition in this our most
important field of industry.
