MAN A PIECE OF MACHINERY.

Thirteen Substances Enter Into
Make-Up Of Human Body.
The human organism has been often
and aptly compared to a fine piece Of
machinery, says the Scientific Ameri.

In position, moved and guided by a sys.
TEN Of muscles and tendons, fit together
like the wheels and levers Of watch
The handspring Of the machine is the
heart and Its regulator Is the nervous
system. No human hand ever con.
structed, no human mind ever invented
50 marvellous mechanism, for all its
wheels and levers are instinct with life.
Millions upon millions Of living cells
mako up the structure of the body.
Each cell IL chemical laboratory and
the whole community Of cells consti-
tutes a great chemical factory, where
DO holiday Is ever kept but vital force
Is necessarily created and converted,
by wonderful physiological processes,
into heat, work and electricity, and
life Is continually destroyed and repro
duced. The scientific name Of this mys-
terious activity Of our chemical factory
Is "metabolism."
Let us look a little moro closely into
this complex metabolism Of the human
chemical factory. The millions Of cells
of which the body Is built up vary in
form and character. In function and
composition. In the first place, we
naturally ask OF what materials they
are composed. OF what does man con-
sIst? Chemistry gives precise an
swer to this question. He consists OF
thirteen elementary substances, Of
Which eight are solid and five are gas
eOus at ordinary temperatures.
The solids are carbon, calcium. phos-
phorus. sulphur, potassium, sodium,
magnesium and iron; the. gases are oxy.
gen, hydrogen, nitrogen. chlorine and
fiuorine. Each of these elements pre-
serves It's chemical Identity under all

A Hotbed for an Amateur.

A more ambitious method than that
Of growing his early flowers in boxes,
kept in the house, may be tried by the
amateur gardener who Is also an anna
teur carpenter. A hotbed may be built
at small expense. Old window sash, or
single sash purchased cheaply. and
four boards, one inch thick and one
and one-half feet wide, may be put
together to form the hothed, the boards
being used for the walls.
Warm stable manure should be put
In the bottom, from one-half to three
fourths Of foot deep, and firmly
pressed down. The bed should be well
drained. Light soil, to a depth OF one
or two inches should beSpread over the
manure and after one or two days,
when the temperature Is cooled down
to 20 or 80 degrees, the bed Is ready
for use.
The plants, In pots or boxes, should
be put In the bed. The boxes may be
prepared as for indoor use, with ordl-
nary garden soil at the bottom, and
lighter soil on top. Large holes should
be left to drain the box. The fine seed
should be sprlnkled on the surface, and
fine soil sprinkled over 1t, and the
coarse seed sown in drills, or pressed
down into the soil, and covered with
thin layer Of earth. The soil should be
gently sprinkled with water as soon
as the seed Is planted and kept moist,
without becoming soggy.
The hotbed should be shaded from
the hot sun, but there should be plenty
of light The cover Of the bed should
be kept on until the seedlings have
started to make good growth. On warm
spring days the plants should be given
fresh air by raising the sash slightly.

Working Poultry and Strawberries.
When one speaks Of poultry in con-
nection with any low-growinS plant
most people can see only the scratch
ing birds and the ruined plants, but the
combination has been and Is being
protitably carried out If one selects
one Of the larger breeds Of hens for
this combination the scratching part
Of the proposition will be reduced to
minimum, and II the fowls are not re-
Quired to obtain their entire living
from the patch Of strawberry plants,
they will do comparatively little dam
age. 1t is, Of course understood that
the fowls are not allowed on the patch
until after the fruit has been gath
cred, but from that time until they go
into winter quarters they will be ex-
ceedingly useful, for they will take
good care Of all the insects, do little
damage in the way Of scratching which
can be readily repaired by going over
the plot each day, and their droppings
will add materially to the richness OF
the plot. If the plantation covers a
considerable area it will be good plan
to have several small colony houses on
the plot so that the hens may have
their own quarters and thus work over
a smaller area. The profit from this
combination Is good, and neither will
interfere with the other, especially II
the fowls are raised for egg produc-
ton. Try 1t on a small scale and In
crease as experience proves it pays.

Guinea fowls should find place on
every farm, as they are profitable and
useful. They are profitable because, as
table fowls, they have few superiors,
being in many ways similar to the wild
prairie chicken, so much sought for by
those who love the gamey flavor Of the
wild fowl. Their flesh Is dark and
solid, and no matter how cooked,
whether az a roast or In pie, they
are tempting. Their eggs are delight
fully favored, and, though small, they
find a ready sale In all the markets.
They are useful as guardians, because
at the first approach Of danger, wheth-
er by day or night, they set up their
warnings that must frighten the In
truder or bring help to their offspring.

Value of the Incubator.

1t Is hard to get hens to sit In win
ter, and 1t Is almost necessary for the
farmer to use incubators to raise broil-
ers In times to bring the best prices.
The incubator on the farm Is being
brought to more profitable use every
year. There Is no doubt that the lncu-
bator and brooder method Of raising
chickens Is wonderful improvement
OF the hen method. 1t Is cheaper, and
greater number Of fowls can be
raised from the same number of hena

were Immediately loaded with grapeshot.
The scout was both surprised and
pleased when he discovered among the
females the pretty figure Of Innis Nc
kee; and the particulars Of her appear
ance at the station, as related by Joel
Logston, gave him genuine feelings OF
admiration and satisfaction. He affirm
ed, in the hearing Of Allan and others,
that she was without question the finest
girl In the whole world, and he stood
ready, then and there, to make good the
assertion.
Soon after Ballard freed his mind by
making this important statement, he was
observed In earnest conversation with
Miss Mckee; that Is, as earnest as his
embarrassment would allow Of; for tho
scout on tho occasion did appear to have
lost his usual boldness, and in the esti-
nation of Kenton and Elizabeth Boone,
he was really awkward at times, bashful
and hesitating. Before the dawn Of
day, Allan and his two friends had re-
lated their several adventures since they
left the fort; while those who remained,
in their turn, rehearsed what had trans
pired during the siege.
1t may be a fact worthy of note, In
this connection, that Simon Kenton had
much to say to Elizabeth Boone; but
as nobody took the trouble to listen. we
regret that we shall not be able to ex-
plain 1t all to the reader. 1t was re-
marked, however, by Joel that Miss
Boone's pale cheeks thereupon assumed
a ruddier glow.
The subject of Miss Harrod's capture
and singular return to Harrodsburgh
was then spoken Of, as the news Of that
event had not reached the station. As
soon as the name of Fanny Harrod was
mentioned, the attention Of young Reyn-
olds was instantly fixed upon the speak.
er. With changing color and varying
emotions he listened to the tale, and ex-
claimed:
Thank heaven"' in such an emphatic
tone, when he heard the happy termina-
ton of the affair, that all eyes were in
stantly turned toward him.
'Shes safe now, my lad" said Col
onel Harrod, In a low voice to the young
man.
In answer to this assurance, Reynolds
pressed the coloners hand warmly.
1T would have been impossible to
have kept him hived up here, II he had
known that Fanny was in danger" re-
marked a man from Harrodsburgh, to
Allan.

the young woman, I suppose" observed
the latter.
Sentimental don't seem to be exactly
the word; but he's very fond Of her COM
pany, and people say that something
will come of 1t by-ahd-by," returned the
settler.

SHOT At HIM.
West Side Policemen Nearly Brighten
James Bell to Death.

James Bell. a young man living at
116 buchanan street, was taken for a
burglar by a couple of policemen late
last night, and had an experience
which was quite as exciting as it was
annoying.
Bell had been out with a party Of
friends for a trolley ride and was a
little late getting started for home. AS
he was walking down Third street
near Clay man stepped out of the
darkness and said: Hold on. there;
l want you" Bell did not recognize
the man as an officer of the law at
first and quickened his steps, thinking
he was about to be held up and broke
into a run. After he got fairly well
started the man behind him fred a
couple of shots from a revolver Bell
then knew the police were after him.
ana he started to run all the harder
although he could not recollect do
ing anything that would warrant his
being arrested. Just as he turned into
Buchanan street from Second street
he ran straight into the open arms of
formed that he was wanted for bur-
glarfzing a store. He protested his in
nocence, told the officers of his where
abouts during the evening. and insist
ed that he was on his way home and
had run because he was frightened
The officer who stopped him said
that if he really lived at 116 Bu-
chanan street he would believe his
story and let him go. He was taken
around to this house. and had no
trouble establishing it as his home
and was not further molested. Bells
hair didn't turn gray, but the expert
ence Is one he will long remember.
At police headquarters It was
stated today that no report of such an
occurrence had been made by any of
the officers. and that no policeman
had been sent to that neighborhood
last night on the quest of a burglar,
as no burglary had been reported from

combination. and in this way inserted
charge of dynamite just sufficient TO blow
open the door. but not to wreck the safe
or to do any other damage. Before the ex-

AS result of these precautions no one in
the neighborhood heard the explosion.
The post Office is on the ground floor of
a two-story frame building, and the upper
floor Is used for library. The building
is directly opposite the Long Island rail
road station. and although the station
master was there all night, he did not hear
a sound. There are dwellings close 10 the
post Office. but no one seems to have been
