COMMERCIAL, VALUE OF A MAN.

We owe to German professor the
momentous discovery that the ordinary
human being has commercial value. 1t
has been supposed that If there is any
thing on Garth entirely valueless it is
the ordinary human being. but popular
belief is once more shown to be wrong.
The professor says that. the average
man contains fat worth $3.50. enough
iron TO make nail, phosphorus
enough for the heads of 1900 matches,
tthe wood could be cut from his head)'
enough magnesium for some recpecta-
bic fireworks. albumen equal TO hun E.
bred eggs a teaspoonful of sugar, and
pinch Of salt Altogethey the average
man or woman is worth about $3.50 at
current prices, and with advancing
rates there is no knowing what he
might not go To. Obviously this IN
developed wealth should attract the in
weston and The Spectator, and some
way should be found to make available
for public use all this phosphorus, fat,
magnesium, eggs, sugar aud salt. it
has been too long true that the good
is oft inferred with our bones.'-San

SOMETHING TO LIVE WITH.

That the advance in the cost of liv-
ing. about which so much has been
said during the past few years, has
not been confined to this country, but
is universal world movement. is so
well known that nobody any longer at
tempts to deny it.
From all over Europe comes a sim
liar complaint and. even from Japan
the news comes that the price of rice,
which is the principal diet of the peo-
pie, has more than doubled within
the last two years. These things be-
ing true, it becomes more than very
important to maintain in America
revenue system which will preserve
our own market for our own people,
and enable our industries to pay the
high wages which alone make IL pos
sible for American wage earners TO
meet the advance in the cost of their
necessary supplies and still live COM
fcrtably and well.
A change in our tariff system which
would inevitably either reduce wages
or reduce employment. and would
very probably do both, would certain
" be the worst way in the world to
answer the complaint against the high
cost Of living.
The great big important thing is to
have something to live with, and the
Republican party is the surest guar
anty Of that.

TESTING EGGS BY x.RAYs.

The National Association of Poultry
men Of England has Investigated a
scheme for testing the freshness of
eggs by means Of the X-rays. A dark
room is used in which a Crookes va
cpm tube is suspended. The tube Is
covered with shade that leaves an
opening just large enough for hen
egg. rhe iluorescent screen g placed
beneath the opening. so
that the operator can sec the kind o.
: shadow" the eggs throw without the
least loss Of time. II the image is
quite clear the egg is strictly fresh
and is placed IN the first class. If the
screen shows a small spot or shadow
the egg is placed In the second class,
II the spot is large the egg is rejected.
The association is made up of forty
subsidiary societies distributed over
twenty districts and It's members sup
ply the London market with about
200.0 coo eggs every week. The larger
houses handle only "candled" eggs.
but the X-rays enable the examiner
to discover spots that are quite in
visible when the ordinary "candling
is used as means of testing. The
egg merchants Of Denmark are con-
templating the establishment OF the
