Experiments carried on by the gov ernment show that when meat Is cook ed in water 1t loses from 10 to 60 per cent In weight and when roasted from 13 to g. per cent. When boiled the meat loses practically all of its organ ic extractives. which constitute or form the basis of its flavor as we'll as a very large per cent of Its nutritive value. But when roasted 1t retains practical ly all of its flavor and most of its nu- tritive value. The latter method of cooking would therefore seem to have much to commend It.

the effect that Porto Rico is actually and

Of the United States. and the laws of

Kopel was indicted in Porto Rico for
grand larceny and fed to New York He
was arrested and got a habeas corpus
hearing, in which he denied the jurlsdiC-
ton of the United States courts. KopeTs
counsel insisted that extradition and not
requisition papers were necessary. In
affirming the decision of Justice Truax
dismissing Kopels writ, Justice Ingra-
ham remarked that in the courts view
Porto Rico became territorily a part of
the United States under the treaty OF
Paris, and that therefore section 527S Of
the Revised Statutes, relating To Tequisi-
tons, is applicable as if Porto Rico were
actually part Of the United States.

The congestion of shipping on the
Potomac, which held all river trade az

tirely relieved by a rise in temperature
and in great measure by the efforts Of the
Firefghter and the heavy steamers

that most Of the boats were an hour or
more late in arriving at their destina-
tons yesterday. but little inconvenience
was lelt by the pilots from the ice in the
river. a wide channel cuts its way as
Tar as can be seen down the river
