The Food Value Of chestnuts.

The fruit of the chestnut tree is
nearly as valuable as bread and more
valuable than potatoes for dietetic
purposes. Two pounds of chestnuts
contain 11s grammes of starch and
eight Of fat,
The annual production of chestnuts
in France is over 100000 quintals OF
220 pounds. That means food for
many workmen. But the hide-tan'
ners keep the product from the food
market by buying It in large quanu'
ties for use in their business. Pro
ducers make more profit by selling
their chestnuts for tanning than by
disposing of them for food.

W BELIEF IN wrcHcRAFT.
It Still Survives in Some Parts Of
India.

It Still Survives in Some Parts Of
India.
Belief in witchcraft is still so fast
rooted in parts Of India that urGortu-
nate persons suspected Of the black
art arc not uncommonly done to death.
b In Bengal last year several cases Of
the kind came before the courts. IN
the Sonthal Parganahs woman was
murdered by her mother and brother,
who believed her to be a witch.
In Palamau a man was killed, as
the villagers held that he was wiz
ard. In another case two women were
murdered on the bare suspicion that
they had caused the death Of three
children by cholera. Human sacrifice
also is still practiced among the un-
civilized tribes OF Bengal.
In Angul some Khonds sacrificed a
girl as a propitiatory Offering against
cholera, and in Palamau boy was en-
ticed into the jungle and killed as a
sacrifice. There can be little doubt
that any relaxation Of vigilance would
result in serious increase Of witch
killing and human sacrifices.

wbv DUMAS FIls Quit smoking.

The younger Dumas, Ike NJ. Mae
terlinck. became convinced in middle
life Of the injurious effects Of nico-
tine. and his conversion was brought
about in truly dramatic fashion, he
once told an interviewer (which set
out so vividly the evils brought on by
smoking that laid down my cigar

rightly and vowed I would never
smoke again. This vow / have rigid
ly kept. and am firmly convinced that
tobacco saps the brain as surely as NJ

ed men. from Milton to Meredith, who
have lived to a great age with unim-
paired faculties in spite of their smok.

New Blood Needed.

Just because some neighbor gets
more eggs than Mr.. A, is no reason
why A should change his breed OF
chickens. Probably he ought to In
troduce new blood into his flock and
give it different care from what 1t has
been getting. However, do not waste
time and feed on dunghills and scrubs.

PHOTOS BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.

1874.
Comparatively few, perhaps, know
that the electric light was used in
photography so far back as 1914, and
yet that this was the case is shown
by an interesting present which has
been received by the Royal Micro
scopical Society from NJ. Nachet, one
Of the French Fellows. This consists
OF a frame containing six micro
daguerreotypes taken with the electric
light by the great French savant,
Leon Foucault. They are probably not
only the Oldest photographs Of their
kind in existence, but almost certain
ly the first application Of the electric
light to scientific studies. The origi-
nal plates from which these reproduc-
tons were made all bear the date
1914 and the signature Of Leon Fou.
