UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRh.I
San Diego, Cal, Dec. 2.-Andreas
Tirado, an armed Mexican, arrested
here on'suspicion shortly before noon
today confessed to Chief of Police
Wilson that a Mexican revolutionary
organization was being perfected in
San Diego to take Lower California.
The open attack he declared would
be made upon Tia Juana, just across
the border, IS miles south OF San Die
20. From there Tirado said the reb-
els would march upon Bnsenada,
nearly 100 miles down the coast.
Tirado asserts that he was con-
fined in a Mexican prison for rs
years, and subjected to very cruel
treatment.
Chief Wilson, after an hours talk
with the man, who is still held, ex-
pressed the opinion that Tirdao was
a leader in the movemnt, and had
been sent here to organize the rebel
forces.
The chief was to hold a second ses-
sion with Tirado this afternoon, in
the hope of inducing him tor eveal
the names of the leaders, and the
place OF their secret meetings.
Some time ago many Mexicans were
living in this city, but many had gone
away. Within the last week large
numbers OF these have returned, and
with them have come many strange
Mexicans Dozens Of Mexicans have
been arrested here and fined for car
rying concealed weapons.

Experiment Station in Charge.
The work is being done by division
of the office of experiment stations, in
the department of agriculture. All foods,
OF course, whether animal or vegetable,
are agricultural products-which is the
reason why the department has under
taken the Investigations here described,
One OF the latter relates to the food
values of meat of different kinds, and
of different cuts prepared in various
ways-a question OF much Importance
just now in economical household man
agement- a special study is to be made
of the digestibility of cheese made by
various processes, and cured in various
lengths of time.
Proof of the widespread popular in.
terest in such matters is afforded by
the fact that no fewer than $50 colleges,
scattered all over the country, are now
giving instruction in districts, while
proper methods Of preparing foods are
taught in every city high school that
pretends to be up to date. What pro-
fessor LangwOrthy and his assistant
experts are trying to do is to furnish

attention of the occupant. But this is
not nearly so odd as the circumstance
that the percentage of carbonic acid
gas may be made 100 times greater
than the normal without having the
slightest effect upon the subject of
the experiment. From these observations
has been drawn the conclusion that
carbonic acid gas is not really poison
Gus at all. and that the discomfort
which people experience at high levels
in the atmosphere is due to low at
mospheric pressure, and not to lack of
oxygen.
While the experiments are in pro-
gresS, an observer, stationed at a desk
outside the box watches the electric
thermometer and the other automatic
instruments. The water vapor and car
bonic acid gas given off by the body
Of the occupant are measured, as well
Fresh oxygen is contributed from a
tank to the current of air that is kept
flowing through the box.
All Food Becomes Heat.
As already explained. all of the en-
ergy developed from the food supplied
to the occupant of the box is eventu-
ally transformed into heat 1t is reck-
Oned in "celories''-a calorie being the
amount Of heat required to raise one
pound OF water four degrees Fahren-
heit- When fast asleep, the mans body
gives out from so to 10 Galleries an
hour, or enough heat to raise $40 to
l 40 pounds of water from freezing
to boiling point. When he sits still in
a chair, the heat given out is from 10G
to 115 calories. At moderate exercise
Con the bicycle) it is 200 calories or
more At severe labor (riding very
hard), it is 600 calories. BY such means
it has been ascertained that an ordin-
airy man, engaged in fairly active Oc-
cupaticn, develops enough heat in "a
hours to raise 70 pounds of water from
freezing to boiling.
From what has already been said
it will be understood that, in order to
find out the amount of energy obtain
able by the human body from any kind
of food. it is necessary merely TO feed
that particular food to person shut
up in the diet box and measure the
heat given off by his body.
In this way professor c. Ford Lang
worthy, who is in charge of the expert
ment, proposes to test the comparative
value, for fuel purposes-that is to
say for running the body machine-of
olive oil. lard, butter. beef suet. and
other table culinary fats. He is going
