Dlsestihle Crust.

There is no difference between the
constituents OF bread crust and those
OF the inner part Of the loaf. But the
Lancet points out that the crust con
tains much less moisture, and so is
richer In solid constituents, There is
also an increased amount Of soluble
carbohydrates In the crust, owing to
the action of intense heat upon the
outside of the loaf during baking. and
it's favor is more stimulating to the
flow Of the digestive juices. Crust and
stale bread are more digestible than
the soft interior of a loaf OF new
bread, because the salivary juices act
readily upon the drier breads. Soft
new bread is resistant to the ~salivary
attack, and seldom receives the neces-
sary treatment In the mouth. Persons
who prefer the crust will be glad to
know that in this case the more pala.
table food is also the more digestible.

MORE TALK ON
THE BIG MATCH

When Edward Ralph, Of Rights
town, and Alfred De ORC, of a Cuba
port, held an argument IN the last
leg of their pocket billiard match,
which was to have decided the cham
pionship of the world and the own
ership Of a $1,000 purse, there are
cries from many sides that the af-
fair had been fixed" to enable the
promoters to reap the benefits of a
return match. A Trenton news
paper, which is familiar with the
conditions as the argument was
staged at the Capitol city, has the
following to say along these lines:
The discontinuance and rear
rangement of the Ralph-De ORC
championship pocket billiard match
has caused considerable speculation
as to whether the event vas called
off so that the promoters could bene-
fit themselves financially, or whetn-
er the dispute that arose was really
the true cause.
There does not seem to be any
occasion for such speculation. The

Flowers From Cold STORAGE.

The cold storage plant now Is neo-
essary to the dollhouse to supply flow
ers out of season. The fancy of So
ciety women and debutantes for I'M
usual blooms at unusual seasons has
caused the horticulturist to work over
time devising how the wants Of the
~millionaires can be satisfied. One way
Is through cold storage. Cold storage
flowers may be bought In practically
every florists store in New York now.
The cold storage device is used to
retard the growth OF plants so they
will not bloom until wanted. The
roots Of the plants are kept frozen for
months at a time, and when the hot
house keeper gets an order for flow
erg four or six weeks IN advance he
takes the plants out of cold storage
and puts them in the dollhouse.
Forced temperature causes the plants
to bloom, and the gardener makes q
big profit.

The Safest Ocean.

The origin Of the salt in the sea is
usually attributed to the constant
washing Of salts from the land by
rain and rivers, and the gradual de-
posting OF them in the sea, through
evaporation. In every 100 parts of
sea-water there are about two and one
half parts Of salt. 1t has been com
puted that there are 4,600, 900 cubic
miles Of rock salt in the oceans, 14k
times the bulk of the continent Of
Europe above high-water mark. The
Atlantic is much salter than the 9TH
er oceans. Prof. Alexander Woeikow
OF st. Petersburg believes that this is
due to the large amount of water va
por that is carried on to the continents
bordering this ocean, which are com
p%aratively low where they front the
