ITALIANS MAKE BREAD
 OF UNGROUND WHEAT,

Scarcity Of labor being the principal cause of the increase of the price of foodstuffs in northern Italy, it was nat ural to try simplification of the proc esses of manufacture. One of the most interesting attempts in this direction has recently been made by the muni- cipalitv of Bergamo, which tried to do away with the flour mill
 From time immemorial bread has been made from ground grain. The municipal bakery of Bergamo succeed ed in making bread from unground wheat. The method Is cescribed in La Nature as follows:
 The grain. carefully washed and sifted. is soaked for from AS to 50 hours in lukewarm water. This makes it's germ begin to sprout, softens it and changes the constituents of it's coating. The softened grain goes thru a machine that crushes it, after which it is kneeded into Jumps of dough After these have fermented sufficiently they are baked.
 The bread thus obtained is gray, but it's nutritious quality is much hig- her than that of white bread it being rich in fats, lecithin and vegetable pep sin
 Tt is also economical, for quintal ! (2205 pounds) of wheat ground into flour produces only 225 pounds of bread, while a quintal of wheat treated in this way produces 300 pounds of bread"
 There are two opinions about the flavor Of the bread. According to Az ricultura Toscana it smells nice and has a most agreeable flavor but ! Frenchmen who have been recently in Italy say it is execreable The editor of La Natura remarks that the latter probably tasted bread made in other cities without the care that is taken at Bergamo or with poorer wheat Pittsburgh Press

GARCIA'S CENTURY.
Indianapolis News.l

l The most notable centenarian of all time, one who had more in his life than mere length of years, was Man uel Garcia, born in Zafri, in Catalonia, l in 1895. died in London. on July 1, ! l906 passing away at the age of 101 years and months. He was consider ed the greatest teacher of singing the world has ever known. and was the inventor of the laryngoscope. On his tooth birthday he attended a banquet in his honor at the Hotel Cecil. Lon don, in a distinguished company of mu- sieians and scientists. He composed speech for the occasion and read part of it, handing the manuscript to the chairman, who read the remainder of it. This speech was as follows:
 There is an old story, some of you may remember, which, when l read it, changed the aspect of things for me by it's very name, for that was stroke of genius Put Yourself in His Place What different world it would be if we all did that! We'll, you try now. Try hard Think yourselves each 100 years old today. Not the ladies. I will not ask them Though they may come to that, they will never look it, and they will never know it, and no one will ever believe it. But you men can try. Fancy you each lived 100 years and woke today to find yourself sur rounded by kindly clamorous voices, troops of friends What would you say? I think you would say naught. l shall say naught, naught, naught to all of you, except just this: God bless you every one"
 In his 101st year he revised the proof sheets of book and celebrated the be- ginning of his 102nd year by playing his guitar and singing a Spanish song. Some weeks later he attended a per formance at one of the London thea tres.

HOW TO LUBRICATE
 A POCKET KNIFE,

Pocket knives naturally come in close contact with the body and for this reason they become dry and rus ty from the heat and precipitation.
 Necessarily any lubricant must be of some dry material. A very simple and efficient, as well as cleanly meth cd, is to use a little powdered graphite on the joints says Popular Science Monthly The graphite may be ob- tained from the lead of a pencil. Af- ter applying it. work the blades few times to get it into the joints.

WHY WE CAN GAUGE
 DISTANCES
(Popular Science Monthly)

Aside from the monkey, man is the only animal having what we call bin ocular single vision That is, he can tell not only the direction of an object but he can estimate fairly accurately it's distance. This is because both of his eyes point at the same object at the same time, like two range finders. Other animals do not concentrate their gaze in this way. Their eyes are set more nearly at the sides of the head so that they are seeing not only for ward, but backward for a short dis tance. Man, on the contrary, sees clearly only the object at which he looks directly.

GERMAN MONEY

City, Report; Villa Forces
Near Satevo.

Reports OF extensive German oper-
ations in Mexico continue TO come
from across the border line. The latest
rumor brought by a traveller from
Mexico City is that German influence

accounted for both by the alleged
lavish use of German money in large
quantities and by a reported feeling
against the United States now on the
verge Of war with Germany.
More Germans are reported TO have
gone over into Juarez and there put on
the Mexican uniform, a. If by pre-
arranged plan.
