MENTAL WORK DURING A FAST.
\ I is curious fact that the nervous


lT is curious fact that the nervous
system is in certain ways independ-
ent of the rest Of the body; and
that instead being very fragile, our
nerves are really highly resistant.
At Wesleyan University the expert
ment was made of putting men into
cages and measuring the food, air and
water that they used, and the waste
products that their bodies threw off.
1t was found that the slightest muscu-
lar exertion had decided effect on the
relation between what the body took
in and what it threw off, but that the
addition of mental to muscular work
made no difference at all. If student
took written examination in the cage,
he used the same energy that he would
have used in going through the move
ments Of writing and doing no thinking
whatever
Recently similar evidence has been
obtained at the Carnegie Nutrition
Laboratory of Boston. A man of 40 un-
derwent fast of thirty-one days, dur
ling which he took absolutely nothing
but water. At o'clock in the after
noon of every day during the fast, as
well as on the two days that preceded
lit and the day that followed it, the
man submitted to certain tests of mus
eular strength and of mental power.
AS might have been expected, he grew
physically weaker. Who would not have
expected him to show a falling off in
mental ability as welli Yet this man
could repeat ten disconnected words, i'm,
mediately after they had been pro-
nounced to him, more correctly at the
end Of the fasting period than at its
beginning, and he could also recall the
words after longer intervals as the fast
ing went on. His power of attention
was tested by requiring him to cross ou,
all the A Is in printed passage, and his
speed increased during the fast, Will,
his accuracy remained as high as it hat
been at the beginning. When he wa
given word and required to speak tn,
first word it suggested to him, tn
promptness of his response increased a
the fast became more prolonged. Ii
short, he performed all the mental test
either as well or better as the fast pro
ceeded. The improvement was probably
due to the daily practice he got, but
it is wonderful that the mind shoult
work during so long period, as wei
without food as with it.

This operation makes the material shrink

DEMONSTRATE VACUUM CLEAN
ER ON MULES HIDE.

THE electric service company at
Scranton, Pa, recently attracted
and held large crowd of people
in front of its offices by demonstrat-
ing the effectiveness of vacuum
cleaner on the coal begrimed hide of
a mine mule The animal, having prob
ably never experienced similar SEN
sation before, expressed its surprise
when the vacuum cleaner was put in
operation by delivering sounding
"hee- e-haw." The noise soon attracted
crowd, which watched the demon
stration and probably carried the news
to more quarters than any other form
of advertising might have done.

poles were placed in position, and the

as fast as the staples could be driven
into the posts. The job was done in
record time, as the car carried the ma

A NEW RIFLE GRENADE.

THE rifle grenade has been adopted in
some countries as an integral part
of the soldiers equipment, and is
likely to come into general use among
the armies Of the world 1t is expected
that it will to great extent supplant
the use of the bayonet and do away
with the Necessity for close-quarter
fighting, as it will provide means for
attacking trenches and covered positions
and rendering them untenable without
recourse to handto hand combat. The
grenades can be fired singly or in vol
leys and the effect of volley firing with
such weapons would probably be as
founding. In hilly country especially,
where the bringing into action of field
pieces is extremely difficult, the use of
the grenade will prove of incalculable
benefit to the troops equipped with it.

NEW USE FOR POTATO JUICE.

nOTATO juice as a remedy for
II sprains, lumbago, gout, rheuma-
tism and bruises is recommended
by DR.. Heaton c. Howard of London.
He cites numerous cases in his own
practice in which the pain has been re-
lieved quickly, sometimes by the first
application, and the fluid that has exud-
ed into the joint or the membranes has
been absorbed within a few days.
Potato juice is used as an ointment, q
liniment or plaster. The raw potatoes
are squeezed in hydraulic press; the
starch and nitrogenous matter are re-
moved and the juice is boiled down un-
til it is made five times as strong a.
when fresh; glycerine is added to pro-
serve it. :.
