William j. Hammer, consulting

day an interesting theory MS to the

Selenium, which was first discovered

mer used Newark, n. j., as an exam

to advantage by cannon controlled by
selenium cells.
Cannon" he said, equipped with n
box on the carriage containing a Sc
lenium cell could be mounted on PROM
inent earthworks, with their muzzles
pointed down the bay of New York.
In the dark or the dim light from
small reflectors the selenium cell would
not conduct a spark from battery In
the box to the powder, but this would
take place the instant powerful
searchlight from a battleship fell upon
the cell, changing it from being poor
to an excellent conductor. The guns
aim would probably be correct, as the
straight beam from the ship shone on
it, with the result that the hostile war
vessel would itself set off the charge
which would sink it."
Possibilities Of Seleniutn.
Mr.. Hammer then told the students
that If any Of them ever had any idea
of going into the burglary business 1t
would be we'll to ascertain II the bank

Mr.. Hammer said he could not help

Yet the pumpkin custom undoubtedly
reflects the character and individual

WATER AN AID TO DIGESTION
Medical Investigators Have Concluded
That Plentiful Drinking at Meals
10 Distinctly Beneficial.

Medical investigators have reached
the conclusion that instead OF being
harmful to drink quantities of water
with meals It is distinctly beneficial.
Recent experiments along this line are
described In The New York Medical
Journal The writer says:
Not long ago 1t was almost the rule
for physicians to discourage the habit
Of drinking water except in minimum
amounts with meals. on the ground
that the gastric juice was thereby d.
luted and that digestion was impaired
and delayed. This opinion is still held
by many physicians. and is the pet
hobby of a great many diet cranks
and cranks-profession and anna
teur
"On the other hand, there have been
many who believed that an appetite
as widely distributed as the desire to
drink at the time of eating. an appe-
tite seen in so many animals as well
as In man, was a perfectly safe guide
to trust. and that It was obviously a
provision of Nature to supply water
which was needed at this time.
Recent experimental evidence
seems to confirm the latter view. The
work OF Foster and Lambert has
shown that water is distinct stimu-
liant TO the gastric mucosa. and that
instead of the presence Of water in
the stomach resulting in a dilute gas
trio juice. 1t, on the other hand. occa-
sions the secretion OF a Juice OF higher
concentration than under ordinary cir
cumstances.
More recently Fowler and Hawk
have made a study Of the metabolic
influences OF copious water drinking
with meals. A normal man, % years
of age, was studied for preliminary
period and then for a period Of FIVE
days, during which he drank three
quarts OF water a day with his meals
The result showed an Increase in
weight Of two pounds.
