The treu facts in the case were that the person did not become colder and colder. but that he really lost his bodily heat until none remained to support life. In short he lost It faster chan he, could make 1t. If he could nave by the means of proper clothing. etc. retained the heat he had. he would not have frozen. The process of the whole scheme of heating the human body may be compared to louse that Is heated by hot water in pipes. The pipes near the outer walls are necessarily somewhat cooler than those at the center. They lose more heat but when the water In them circulates and returns to the boiler or source of heat this water regains the heat which 1t has lost. The skin Is supplied with countless blood vessels small In size. the caliber being controll- ed by the nerves (vaso motor) whose duty Is to keep them at certain size. They do this by stimulation. which causes them to contract and prevent undue dilatation. When one ls exposed 70 cold, it acts upon the nerves in such a manner that they overstimulate, which contracts these small blood vessels to an abnormal degree. This 1rives out the blood. prevents the Ingress of fresh blood os that the large lrteries are subjected to a high pres

Nicotine in tobacco leaves has been reduced in three years from 3.5 to 1.31 per cent in the experiments of the bureau of plant industry at Washing ton, and pr. w. W.

Wear of fabrics Is now tested by machine. and at Bradford, England the cloth is clamped to a rapid jaw at one end, passed over rubbing surface of dull blades set in a cylinder and fastened at the other end to a weighted tension roller. The cylinder Is turned alternately forward and backward. The two movements make one rub, and a certain number of rubs. say 200, shows the quality of the cloth samples.

:. Giving seamen safety in fog is ex- pected to be the chief duty of the pho nometer of Prof. A. G. Webster
 of Clark University, as this not only measures the intensity of sound but shows the direction with great pre- cision. The instrument, resembling a surveyors transit with two horns projecting from the end opposite the user. can be carried on the smallest vessel. The sound entering the horns Is focused upon a delicate diaphragm
 and this vibrates a needle. which moves q mirror. Near the lens at the eye end. a tiny electric bulb gives light that Is reflected in the mirror. The instrument is turned until the sounc is'reoeived most loudly by the horns.

Winter and Its Danger.

 ,mpunity. When disregarded they often demand penalty which involves lives near and precious to us This s especially so In winter and "one who knows' finds the task of im- pressing on his near and dear friends the necessity of ordinary care' 8 difficult one. most all consider the caution advised as extraordinary, 4xtreme and unnecessary. They almost all neglect some one or more things ike the feet throat and lnngs, or are careless as to proper clothing, protec. jon against sudden changes in the emperature, the heating and ventilat- ing of their homes or rooms. Negligence )f this nature Is a deadly sin when confined wholly to the adult body but what Is to be thought of those whose aziness and carelessness brings illness lpon the young children under their control. These cannot think or reason for themselves. They know no way to prepare or judge what they need ir lress temperature and protection against winter and its dangers"
 Every day Is the same to them. With uncovered throats and breast and half dad they innocently and helpless go forth and dare the winters chill. With half clad limbs they passively accept the winter blasts and no indignant protests blast the parents ears. The evil continues every year, children die like plants in bitter frost. the terrible list of infant mortality grows and the solemn statistical warning brings about at the best a slow change.
 People cannot seem to understand how that slight chill. living in close hot rooms absence of sunlight. severe exercise or exertion while fasting, warm or cold baths before breakfast, and a hundred other wrong and injur- ious things, can work so much harm So far as the proper care of the body Is concerned. we seem to be living and rearing our children with what seems to amount to an almost criminai indifference to all hygienic laws and as the cold weather approaches the dangers increase accordingly.
 In the summer we are safer, take less chances, live closer to nature, windows are open, baths are more frequent, fresh vegetables and fruits are eaten. we spend more time out of doors and In the sunlight and perspire and eliminate and our system is purified In spite of ourselves.
 With winter comes the banked up house. double doors and windows, coal gas furnace. Pure oxygen becomes an enemy and sunlight rare.s For long i'NAo WO Sit III hSnlcu rooms breathing In either coal gas or vitiated steam. The air In the rooms Is unchanged and We breathe both our own breaths and that Of everypody else; we leave and enter without 6 thought of protection against sudden change of temperature. Draughts we ignore, also warning coughs, aches and pains and a dozen, yes a hundred ways we put ourselves in the deadly grasp of winter.
 Dangers from Eerrors of Dress.
 If one freezes to death, 1t Is because the blood at the surface, or the A:in becomes cooler than the rate of production of heat in the interior of the body. This Is an increasing depression of vitality.

That the yellow pigment In fowls is withdrawn to the yolk of the eggs, causing a paling of the legs of laying hens. Is an idea that has been rather disfavored, but it seems to have been confirmed by Blakeslee and Warner, at the Connecticut Agricultural college Carefully observing several hundred White Leghorns. they applied the color test to the ear lobes at three differ ent times In the month. For October 1t was shown that SIS per cent of the hons acually laying had only 5 to 10 per cent of yellow. none as much as 30 per cent, and connection between the yellow and egg laying was evident AS only best birds lay in October, Ii was concluded that paleness of the yellow of ear lobes. beak or legs at this time must indicate egg layers oi unusual productiveness throughout the year

perate counter attack succeeded in entering the British trench hes at the northern end of the redoubt, and the British have been unable to re take them. The artillery fire is extremely heavy
 Word received at Rotterdam from various sources is to the effect that the German military authorities in Belgium and in northern France have lately been engaged in sup pressing food riots among the starv- ing people of the cities. The rot Ing Is said to have been the most severe at Liege, Verviers, ROubaX, St Nicholas, Lokern and Termonde. It Is understood that the shortage of food in those cities was caused by the refusal of the Germans to permit the importation of native Dutch food supplies.
 A large part of the industrial pop ulation of the rioting cities have been forced to leave their homes Twenty-Five thousand have been eX- pelled from the city of Lille alone.
