the march would never have to
trouble itself about its wagon
trains. When we went for a day in
the country we should not need to
load ourselves with lunch baskets.
We could dispense with our broad

dens full of vegetables, our or
chards of fruit trees. We could
abolish forever the nuisance of the
stock yards. checkmate, once for
all, the cornerers of foodstuffs and
put an immediate end to the high

But science has tried in vain to

to offer the promise that, if we
can not actually make protoplasm,
we may be able to turn the corner

oratory a chemical food on which

entity just as good dogs as if they
had been nourished upon their nat
ural food.
DIR. Abderhalden has arrived at
this result by first studying the
transformations that take place in
the course of digestion. Finding
that during this process, certain
peculiar acids are formed. which
act a controlling part in the subse-
quent transformations. he set to
work to make these acids artifi-
cially, and he says that he has sue

but that would naturally be the
next step 1t would not be worth
While to strain all the resources of
chemistry simply for the benefit of
dogs.
In fact, animals would, if they
could comprehend the subject, very
gladly lend themselves to such ex-
periments, the ultimate result of
which is to free them from the fate
of being killed and eaten by their
masters. Who knows but that
when chemical foods have been
perfected they may be delicious
and so easily digested that any
guormand would turn up his nose
at the most succulent turkey or the
most skillfully cooked lobster?
Seriously. this is very impor-
tant matter Man, who has so
amazingly emsnCipated himself
from natures limitations in the

it to himself to attain a similar
emancipation in regard to the
maintenance of his vital energies.

On a Diet
BY N. P. BABCOCK.

IT INES were when we were

With an ailment or a pain,
They gave us drugs that sicken,
BY the teaspoon or the grain.
They all were somewhat nasty
When prescribed for any case,
And the taste was very Tasty,
And it made you make a face.
But twas nothing to the portion
OF the woes you now must bear,
Since the docs have added caution
To your other stomach care.
You seek some pang to quiet
That you've never felt since birth,
Whereupon they order diet"
Which is simply he'll on earth.
All meats they call the red ones,
And all pastry cakes and sweets.
Are appetizing dead ones"

A gustatory coma
Is the only state that's right
Did any vegetable
Hold a special JOY for you,
You must declare you're able
Just that one now to esChew.
All sauces that are pleasant
Are a sort of devils broth;
You stare like starving peasant
Al a foodless table cloth
And misery completing
Is the rule that's understood:
"Re regular in eating.
But eat nothing that tastes good"

TIME basis of physical life is
substance called protoplasm.
The word protoplasm means
the first formed" and the idea I'M
derIying it is that this substance
represents the first step from univ
ing matter to living bodies, such
as plants and animals, Everything
that contains protoplasm is alive,
and without protoplasm there is no
life
That eloquent paladin Of science
Thomas II Huxley used to charm
big audiences with his lecture on
protoplasm. He told his hearers
how the activities of a living ami
NAL gradually use up its supply of
protoplasm, and how it is compell-
ed to renew it by eating other crea-
lures, either animals or plants,
which possess this precious sub
stance, for an animal can not
MAKE protoplasm; it must find 1t
somewhere and take it READY
MADE. The only living things that
can make their own protoplasm out
of the raw materials of nature are
plants. We know what chemical
elements protoplasm contains, but
nevertheless we have not discover
ed the secret of putting them to-
gether in such a way as actually to q,
form protoplasm Plants possess
that secret.
We get protoplasm either by TAX
ing it at second hand from animals
which, in their turn, have taken it
primarily from plants, or we get it
more directly by ourselves eating
the plants. We start in life with
a certain amount of protopasm,
which has been supplied to us at
birth by our parents, but as we use
it up we are compelled to replace
the waste by eating something
which contains it.
Professor Huxley used to illus
tratc this process very amusingly.
He said:
My protoplaSm win be distinct
~ less in amount at the END of TINS
lecture than it was at the begin
ming. BY and by l shah probably
have recourse to the substance
commonly called mutton for the
purpose Of renewing the supply.
Now. this mutton was once the liv-
ing protoplasm, more or less modi-
fed. of another ANIMAL sheep. A
singular inward laboratory which

tion Of the modified protoplasm;
the solution formed will pass into

to which it will then be subjected

"A miscarriage of justice in a

would be necessary to have women

cause if a woman was young and

Judge Mary Bartelme, the first

rift C. Pinckney in the juvenile
court takes the same view of the
necessity for woman jurors. She
believes in mixed juries, and says:
The Metamorphosis.
Women on juries will change
lots Of things for the better. You
will find that lawyers must depend
on the legitimate facts if they hope
to impress mixed juries. Women
will puncture a good many bal
looms that prove good for dizzy
! flights in the courts nowadays"
Undoubtedly both of these dis
tinguished jurists are right. There
| is not only room fer women in the
jury box, but there is a crying need
| for them there Our greatest two
pieces of national hunor have been
| that in democracy one-half of the
| people had no voice in government,
and that in a trial by jury, which
guarantees to every one a trial by
his peers women were tried by
men.
And this latter joke is given a
further point by the fact that men
frankly admit that they don't I'M
derstand women and are not up to
the tricks and manners of even the
smallest girl child.
1t has been said that the strang-
est thing on earth is how twelve
intelligent men can get together
| and act like one old woman The
next strange thing is how twelve
! hardheaded, practical business
men dissolve into a sentimental
mush when they get in a jury box.
Apparently they don't weigh evil

they are trying a woman. All that
the defense has to do is to talk

Their theory is that perhaps she
! didn't do it. and if she did do it she
probably had good reasons for do
ing it, and the other party ought
to have been killed anyway, and.
anyhow, they are not going to send
a woman to the electric chair or to
prison for life, especially if she is
good looking.
An American jury dealing with a
woman criminal is gallantry gone
to seed but it doesn't make for
justice, and it does make it per-
fectly safe for any lady with golden
hair and willowy figure to go out
and shoot any man against whom
she gets peeved. Also. it makes it

relation between parents and chill

must be settled, should be tried be-

than a man is capable of under
