Value OF Fat.

The popular view of the close con.
nection between fat and good nature
and weight and balance is not wholly
without rational foundation. Fat, un-
pleasant and stodgy as 1t is, is one Of
the most valuable tissues In the hu-
man body. and any man who reduces
his share Of It below a certain reason
able level not only takes the smooth
edge or his temper and balance of his
powers Of judgment, but exposes all
of his higher tissues, notably the mus
cular, nervous and secreting, to dan.
ger Of both starvation and disease. A
moderate cushion Of fat is one Of the
best buffers and bucklers against the
"slings and arrows of outrageous for
tune" whether in the form of disease
germs or In strains upon endurance.
The man who makes himself into
lean and hungry Cassius even with the
best Of intentions is very apt to get
himself into state of both mind and
body where he is more fit for treason.
stratagem and spoils than for comfort,
wholesomeness and long, happy life.

A West Indian Fish Dish.

A novelty to the jaded palate and a
delightful luncheon or supper dish Is
made of equal quantities of potatoes
and fish, halibut or cod preferred.
Butter well a deep baking dish and
first put in a layer Of breadcrumbs,
then layer Of sliced onions. then a
layer of the fish. Cut in fairly small
pieces and entirely free from skin and
bones. Season well and repeat until
the dish is nearly filled. Sprinkle each
layer with small bits of butter. Now
pour over 1t all a pint of tomato
ketchup and finish with q layer Of but
tered breadcrumbs. A layer Of sliced
tomatoes may be put in and will im-
prove the favor. Bake In very slow
oven for at least four hours and baste
three or four times with mixture Of
vinegar, flour and water. watching 1t
carefully to prevent scorchlng. This
dish has an unpronounceable and de-
cidedly unspellable name, but 1t is very
good and decidedly out Of the ordinary.

A Shave In China.

The Rev. Louis Byrde, missionary,
gives an interesting account In a Lon
don paper of shave in China. He
writes: 1.-THE greatest treat which !
only give on special occasions is mid.
day shave In public. In the early morn.
ing Chinese inn is terribly dark, and
at night bed soon claims one. | select
a table at the street front (the whole
front is formed Of movable doors,
which are entirely taken away during
the day. and, provided with the neces-
saries, commence operations. Fifty or
sixty people stand round in ranks, the
innermost circles consisting Of children
and the outer rings Of men and
mothers with their babes. Not word
is uttered: all eyes are fixed first on
the shaving brush as the soap is lath.
cred on the face, and then on the razor
as the stubble falls. The Chinese never
shave themselves, and possibly to see
a man handling razor on himself may
suggest that he is about to commit
harakiri In their village"

Tn. whl..lInd jugs Of Peru.


The potters Of ancient Peru used to
manufacture an ingenious musical In.

the ancient burial places Of Peru. One
Of these consists Of two vases. whose
bodies are Joined one to the other with
a hole or opening between them. The
neck Of one Of these vessels Is closed,
with the exception of small opening
in which a clay pipe is inserted. lead

closed neck Of this double vase is
modelled into representation Of
birds head. When liquid is poured
into the open necked vase the air Is
compressed In the other. and In escap-

forced into the whistle. the vibration

sounds represent the notes of birds;

The forest land of southern India
possesses a breed of buffaloes vastly
superior to the ungainly creatures Of
the plains. They are shaggy haired
and massive, with thick, short horns,
and possess immense strength. A herd
Of these buffaloes was grazing when
tiger came out Of the forest near by.
The herdsman shouted, beat his stair
on the ground and tried to scare away
the brute, but 1t would not be scared
and sprang upon him, knocked him
down and stood over him snarling
He gave himself up for lost when the
bull Of the herd charged savagely upon
the tiger and knocked him fully twen-
ty feet. The attack was so sudden
and the shock so great that it took all
the fight out Of the tiger He gathered
himself up in dazed way and actual
ly skunk off into the forest. The bull
shook himself, beloved. pursued his
enemy a few yards and then went
quietly to feeding as If vanquishing a
tiger were an everyday occurrence.

Tho Absolute Zero,

What is the absolute zero Of temper
ature? The zero Of thermometers is
purely conventional. The inventor of
the centigrade simply took for zero
the coldest temperature known in his
day, while Fahrenheit had even less
ground for his selection. Absolute
zero is a point fixed by nature and
may be arrived at In a variety Of
ways. All gases expand or contract
equal amounts for every degree of
heat The amount of 1913 of their
volume for each degree centlgrade.
If, then. gas is cooled down contin-
uously it must reach point at which
further contraction is impossible. If
a gas loses 1878 of its volume at each
downward degree of centigrade then
in 273 degrees 1t would exhaust this
power and become a solid; hence
(minus) 273 @. is the absolute zero of
temperature. This answers to 461 +.

Science reasons that the lowest tenn
peratures at the earth's surface are
not found directly at the poles, but at
some distance to the south Of the
north pole and to the north Of the
south pole. Likewise the greatest de-
gree Of heat is not, as might be sup
posed, to be found at the equator, but
prevails at some distance to the north
and to the south of that imaginary
line. The coolest place on the earth's
surface of which there Is authentic
record is in Siberia. The lowest tenn
perature ever recorded In the open air
was 90 degrees below zero It. at Wer-
chajansk, central Siberia, on Jan. 10,
1885. The highest temperature Of
which there is an authentic record Is
124 degrees above zero F. In Algeria,
northern Africa, on July II, 1879.
These places of extreme heat and ex-
treme cold give range of tempera-
ture covering the whole inhabited
world of 214 degrees, or two degrees
more than from zero to the boiling
point.

Tho Seismoqraph,

The seismograph is a most interest
Ing instrument. 1t is kept In a sub
basement room. far from disturbing in
fluences. There 1t records upon a strip
Of paper such earthquakes as may hap
pen anywhere. The scientists then
study the strip Of paper and herald to
the world the news that the tremor
which shook down several cities was
duly registered.
The seismograph is remarkable
contrivance, though in just what way
is not yet determined. However, in
the interests of science, 1t is as valu
able as would be the imprint Of the

a man who had been kicked by mule.
