the teeth come together with a grinding motion
There is a scientific reason, then, for breaking
bread into small pieces with the fingers before
attempting to grind it in mastication. Even
then all the strength Of the jaw muscles,
whether capable of so or 300 pounds pressure,
will be put forth in mastering it, according to
Dr. Black.
The tests with the phagodynamometer brought
forcibiy the attention of scientists the fact
that many persons do not really uasticate their
food at all. Some Of TIE subjects produced rec
ords Of only 80 pounds pressure Such persons,
says Dr.. Black, merely pat their food into a
bolus with their teeth and swallow it without
chewing it, Often big man did not chew his
food with much force small woman did

that stature gave no Indication Of jaw pressure
and chewing ability, but that the strongest
chewers enjoyed the best health.

An AMERICAN VENICE
Plan to Reclaim Jamaica Bay Islands
for Pleasure Resort.

Few Of the regular throng Of Sunday pleasure
seekers who crawl trains across the long
trestle Jamaica Bay to RockaWay Beach
in summer time picture in place Of the wide
desolate tract of marshes fairyand of artis-
tic beauty. with picturesque buildings, towers
arches ard bridges, crossing and recrossing

transformation of the bay, nevertheless, is pos
sibly in store if the city of New York, which
has already approved an expenditure of $1,000
coo to begin work the proposed Jamaica Bay
HarbOr, indorses a plan to utilize the central
part of the bay for recreation purposes.
Numerous arguments are being advanced in
favor of such a plan In the opinion of the
Jamaica Bay Improvement Commission and va
rious experts who have studied the possible
future commercial growth of New York City,
it will be probably hundred years or at
least several decades before the centre Of the
bay can be used to commercial advantage. In
the bay is total water area Of 16 10 acres, or
25A square miles In the middle of this are
about 1900 acres Of marshes, a monotonous
stretch of low islands awash at high tide.
To build a channel 800 feet wide and
so feet deep between the Islands nearest
the shore and the shore itself, and erect series
of docks along the shore front already
planned, will cost about $12,OOOGOO all told. and
IL Will Involve q vast amount OF IaDOl. 10

which intersect the thirty forty islands of thu
bav for the passage of seagong vessels would
involve much further expenditure. and it will ba

the shore
It has therefore been suggested that this are1

quite recent in origin. There are sew

birds, flowers and joyous sports sug-
costing the frolics of the spring. In
some there is a recollection of the
story of Ceres and Persephone with
flowers springing in her steps.
From the first little band of strug-

Roman church grew into a powerful
political organization and sought to

the name of which so much has been

ithrough Christian fanaticism.
Perhaps there is no other object on
earth about which there has been
more controversy, more discussions
and more superstitions than about this
zone great object for reverence on the
sone side, and for derision on the other.
Ever since the crucifixion it has
left strong impress on the history of
the nations and has been revered in
the religion of all the sects bearing
the name of Christ. It has been sur
rounded by traditions and mysticism
and endowed with supernatural and
miraculous attributes. 1t has been ia
ken as the emblem of a faith under
the banner OF which great deeds of
heroism have been done, as in olden
days when pioneer messengers of the
Story OF the Cross filed with religious
zeal entered bravely into uncivilized
and barbarian lands, fearlesly ignor-
ing great dangers.
Heralded by Christian banners the
procession of civilization has spread
to all parts of the world Romans car
ried 1T to the Britons and Saxons. The
worship of the sun as observed by the
Incas was brought to an end through
the ascendancy of Spanish bearers of
the cross.
In more recent times Spanish
monks, with peace in their hearts,
amid many hardships, wrested from
the aborigines the western coast of
our own country, where they erected
many missions to spread the teach
ings of Christianity. The influence of
the cross so entirely filed the minds
of its followers that it became the cen
ter subject of the paintings of the old
masters and in time permeated not
only the spirit of this art, but also
that of architecture, for we find
throughout the great Christian archi-
lecture of the Middle Ages and in all
forms of medieval decoration this
sign of the cross standing out conspic-
uously. The very foundations of the
edifices which were erected in COM
memoration of faith in this symbol fol
