Disinfectinq Ambulances.

The Buffalo hospitals have adopted
an improvement In ambulances which
will probably be copied elsewhere. 1t
is often impossible to take time to pro-
perly disinfect ambulances used for
contagious disease cases. The new
scheme consists in providing separate
steel Innings for the ambulances-one
lining for each class of cases. For in
stance there Is lining for diphtheria,
another for smallpox, a third for
measles, another for scarlet-fever and
another for special cases. When for
instance a scarlet-fever patient is be-
ing moved. the special lining for such
cases is placed in the ambulance. On
the return of the ambulance the lining
is taken out and thoroughly disinfected
while another lining Is showed into the
ambulance. In this way there is no
loss Of time for the ambulance

beans instead Of meat in these days
of high prices for the products of the

fetal municipal recipe for Boston
baked beans.
They must be cooked, he says, with
fat pork. molasses. mustard and other
seasoning materials, in q pot Of porous
carthenware. His directions are min
ute. Presumably they comply in every
detail with the exactions Of the most
fastidious bean eaters to be found in
Boston
The world will be grateful for this
disclosure of the means by which Bos-
ton became a center of sweetness and

of proteid matter and are favored by
vegetarians as substitute for meat at

Electricity Used as Food.

Professor Bergonie Of Paris has adj
va1ced the theory that electricity can
be made to take the place of food in
sustaining life. His idea is that the
essential purpose of food is to supply
the body with internal warmth. He
claims to have proved that low tension,
high frequency currents of electricity
can be passed through a man in such
manner as to produce the required
energy warmth of maintained life.
The great thing to guard against is
the production Of a temperature high
enough to be fatal. According to Pro-
fessor Bergonie, electric food" Is
much superior to vegetables and meat,
inasmuch as it imposes no work on
the digestive organs, the food being
directly absorbed by the nerves. Thus
is avoided, the savant asserts, the or
binary fatiguing, wearying process Of
intestinal combustion which is so ex-
hausting to invalids or to patients in
a weakened state. One dose of cleo
trio food" we are told, will do a
man as much good as three solid meals
of ordinary food. More than that, cleo
trio food actually increases the pa
tents weight"

GUARDING ROYALTY AT NIGHT

Crowned Heads.

Every night the palace at which

inspecting doors and windows. These
watchmen wear carpet slippers to
deaden the sounds of their footballs,

addition to the night patrol, there is
always a sentry on duty outside the

King Alfonso of Spain is guarded at
night by specially selected soldiers,
who take charge Of the keys of all the
doors each night. These men pledge
themselves that the doors shall not
be unlocked until daybreak, and no one
is allowed to enter or leave the palace
until the night is over. The guards
sleep outside the royal bedchamber,
SO that no one may enter during the
night.
King Albert of Belgium is another
carefully-guarded monarch whom no
one may disturb once night has set
in. Soldiers patrol the corridors Of
the kings palace, and his special valet
locks himself in the kings antecham-
Der, which no other person is allowed
to enter. The valet is forbidden to
open either door until morning under
penalty Of death.
The czar of Russia, the closest
guarded of any monarch, is protected

of the secret police, and a body Of
Cossacks. The various companies work
