HUMAN POWER OF RESISTANCE
People Have Preserved Existence Un-
der Wonderful Conditions.

The inhabitants of Paris once lived
under Henry w., during siege. on
the most repugnant meals. All grass
which could be found. even that grow
ing between the stones of the pave
ment, was cooked into SOUPS. In a
field oven erected especially for this
purpose delicious" pastries of ground
bones were made up during the period
of three weeks. and the necessary
bones were obtained from nearby
cemetery.
What occurred during the siege O:
Paris in 1871 is still in mind. People
ate almost all the animals OF the ZOO
logical garden. One of the butchers
sold monkey and urchin meat. and
canal rat as well as dog meat became
classical" A bakers family con-
sumed during the siege their entire
shop. e.. all their goods-and an
aged tradeswoman stayed in her base
ment ior 143 days. living during all
that time on nothing but cheese The
polar explorers knew even worse
meals. The pioneers Of the pole con-
sidered raw fish and polar bear meat
delicacies. and Nansen is authority
for the statement that he and his men
were exceedingly delighted when they
succeeded in baking cakes with illum.
mating oil. From tarred rigging of tho
ship and from lichens which were
found on the desolate rocks not in
frequently the strangest soups were
made.
In the year 1901 the well digger ST.
mon of BOnneval. near Chartres, was
entombed by fallen sand and remained
so for five days. having nothing to cat
or to drink. In 1897 some miners in
Wales were rescued from an entirely
flooded mine after ten days, still alive.
The water had already risen to their
chins. There are. however, still more

Atmospheric POISONING.

The protests against the auto1no-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceiyed a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world. and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noXious gases. Some OF these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas. the
,sulphurous gases. and. worst of all,
the asphyxiating car6onic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that sci
.ence can improve motors. he declares
that it is impossible for it to burn pc

All Chemically Pure,

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a we'll estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum. but leaves a residue in the
bread. which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary. Is entirely evapOrated
while performing it's function during
process of baking. leaving no atom of
Injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
nomer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream OF

wholesome: an established fact. Ev-
