line About this time Mr. Newell was elected to
congress and on the first resolution day of the
first session of the thrtieth congress-on jan
uary 8. is4s. to be exact-he introduced in the
national legislature the measure which laid the
foundation of our I.ifeSaving Service.
The national government now maintains up
ward OF three hundred lfe-saving stations dis
tributed the of the Atlantic the Pa
cifc. the Gulf Of Mexico and the Great Lakes.
Each OF these stations is named by a crew OF
from six to eight surfmen-hardy and fearless
fellows who splendid specimens Of physical

angry seas and in manipulating the various me-
chanical appliances which Uncle Sam provides
as aids to the brawn and the quick wits of
coast natrolmen in the dangerous task Of cheat

that necesstates eternal vigilance and the most
fatguing service the lfe-savers receive the mod
est wage Of $50 per month. Moreover they re-
ceive that pay for anly nine months a year, the
crews being laid on during June. July and Au-
gust. at which season severe storms and wrecks
are almost unknown. Should a lfe-saver be in

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The Diesel oil engine, now well
known where large oil engines can be
used, differs from other internal COM
bustion motors in having no vaporizer.
no ignition devices, and in operating
without explosion. At the charging
stroke the engine draws in air only;
pounds per square inch, raising the
temperature to about 1000 degrees.
then jet of oil is forced in by air
at still higher pressure, and the air in
the cylinder is hot enough to cause
it to burn at once. In place of the
sudden explosion of gas there is SIM
ply the steady burning OF the oil as
long as it is injected The engine
was designed for running on cheap
oils. and quite recently, since the Ger
man patents expired, even taroil has
been employed One of the tar-oil en-.
gines is Of 4,000-horsepower In the
last year or two the German expert
menters have gone still further and
have tried raw tar with such success
that early extensive use of tar as a
motor fuel is predicted The tests have
been made with a 100-horsepower en-
gine, using both thin gas-retort tar and 4
thick coke-oven tar. small amouptl
of light oil has been used to aid igni.-
ton, but the engine has run on tar
alone, of widely different quality
There was no fouling or interruption.
The tar fuel is said to cost IS per i,
cent less than tar-oil, and less than
half as much as paraffin or kerosene

The important subject Of nutrition
mas received much attention, but it is
new suggestion that, besides correct
amounts OF protein. carbohydrate and
lat, the diet must contain a minuter
proportion of some mysterious SUBJ
stance not yet understood. This idea
has been taken up by Professor Stepp
OF Giessen, in a study of the food OF
mice. On dried mixture of rice and
new milk the mice grew and flour
ished, but after certain portions had
been dissolved out by alcohol and
ether, this food became so unsuitable
that animals fed on it soon died Some
thing essential to life had been ex-
tracted The extract included fats,
but no improvement, and the addition
of mineral salts had no effect in pre-.
serving life. 1t was concluded that
the essential substance must be a Ii.
poid present in milk but absent from
butter. The lipoids exist in the outer
protoplasmic layer of cells, resemble
fats in solubility in alcohol, and usu-
ally contain phosphorus and nitrogen.
The theory was confirmed by adding
en- extract of dried buttermilk to the
treated food, the mice fed on the mix.
ture being in good condition at the end
OF six weeks. Some lipoids have been
isolated and tested, but the particular
one necessary to existence has Nd
been found.
