practice in the dim and distant futureit's just the

caIorx Is Measure Of Heat

Calory is a word so much used by
physicians and writer's upon diet that
there is no excuse for anyone not un-
derstanding what it means. The de1ni-
ton of the word calory in the
dictionary is: "One or two recOg'
nized units of heat, of which the great
er calory' or 'kilogram calOry' is the
amount of heat necessary to raise one
kilogram Of water 1 degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calOry' being
the amount of heat necessary to raise
one gram of water 1 degree O."
CalOry, then, is a measure Of heat.
The human body may be nkened to a
furnace, and the food that goes into 1t
to the fuel, for this,>in fact, is exactly
what 1t is, as it supplies the body
with what enables 1t to keep up its
heat. So the heat-giving qualities of
our food are measured in calories.

Bo0TING CROOKS NEW SPORT
South American City Found Way to
Reform Piekpoekets But the In.
nocent Suffered Also.

'Booting the pickpocket'' bids fair
to become the national pastime unless
the police interfere, says a correspond
ent at BuenOs Aires. Pocket picking
on street cars has become a great
nuisance and a local newspaper Of
fered a novel method Of combating
the thieves.
"One Of the tricks much practiced,"
1t explained, as for one person to
stoop in the doorway of the car to tie
his shoe lace or to pick up some OBJ
ject. Thus he obstructs the move
ments of the victim whose pockets are
emptied by the stO6per's associates.
Brief and vigorous action is best. Kick
the bending person into the car with
out mercy. He will express surprise,
but this is better than being robbed"
The plan was an immediate hit. II
proved such good sport that the slight
est sign of a genufiection in the door
way of street car is generally the sig
nal now for the genuflectOr to land in
stantly on all fours in the middle Of
the aisle. No end of fights have re-
suited and the police are threatening to
interfere. Meanwhile the pickpockets
are devising other tricks and are re-
ceiving few of the kicks.

The Missing Purse.

On board a warship which was in
the thick of the battle of Jutland and
was well hammered by the enemy
many poor fellows lost the number of
their mess and many more were sadly
wounded. Among these latter, writes
the chaplain of the grand fleet, was
q sailor whose leg was so much shat
tered and lacerated by a splinter Of
shell that there was nothing else to do
but to amputate it above the knee.
The poor wounded man was practical
ly unconscious from loss of blood, so
the surgeons were not able to tell him
of their intentions before operating.
Some hours later he recovered con-
sciousness and found himself COM
fortably tucked up with the stump
dressed and lbandaged. When he
learned what had happened he broke
into an agonized cry. No, not for the
crippling he had undergone; his cry
was:
where's my leg? For 'evin's sake,
find my leg, somebody! It's got all my
money in the stocking"

1t is thought that the freshman
class for Delaware College, which is
to open September 20. will be the
largest in the history of the institu-
tiOn, and will probably exceed over one
hundred. Already 62 applications
for entrance have been received from
young men throughout the state, the
largest number of applications ever
received at this time of the year.
Most of them are we'll prepared. so
it is not likely many will he refused
when they take their entrance exam
inations next month. Many are sd-
mitted on certificates without an ex-
animation. Dean E. Laurence Smith
and other officials of the college have
been maing a special effort to get a
large entrance class because of the
great demand for trained and educat-
ed men in all branches of the service,
which will grow as the war continues.

Garden Out of a Swamp.

Hiram Wixon, formerly of Aurelius
the man who added hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the wealth of his
neighbors, is dead, the Detroit News
states. WixOn years ago conceived the
idea of doing gardening in Aurelius
swamps, which comprise many acres.
He was regarded as at least mildly in
sane when he went into the swamp
and cleared a place for a vegetable
garden. Farmers and scientists proved
conclusively that nothing could be
raised successfully because of the wa
ter and the nature of the soil, but
Wixon kept on despite ridicule. When
he raised a bumper crop many others
followed his example and in time a
large part of the swamp was con-
quered. Wixon worked out drainage
scheme by means of a series Of ponds
which he stocked with carp. The fish
grew to immense size and also added
to his income.

In Germany, where almost all the
copper is needed by the army, some in

for it in the peaceful arts. In house

taken the place Of copper. Iron cam

Victims of Ones Insane Passion
Wilfred Griffith, farmer, shot and
killed his friend. Robert Akrin, also
a farmer, and then chopped his own
head off with an axe, near Rising
Sun, Md, Thursday evening. Both
were unmarried Griffith, man about
40, has seemed moody and has acted
strangely for some time, according to
his mother, with whom he lived. Yes
terday he spent the afternoon working
upon the road which passes his farm.
When he came in to supper, he re-
fused to talk, and scarcely'ate mouth
ful. After supper he went up to his
room. got his shotgun and went out
on the road again. Here he waited
until Robert Akrin. his neighbor, a
man of 60 years of age, passed by
! driving a two-hnTse team. Without
word Griffith raised his gun and fred
at Akrin, who fell hack mortally
wounded and the team of frightened
horses ran wildly away. Neighbors
stopped the team. Akrin died in q
few minutes. The murderer went
back to his home and up to his own
room. When neighbors rushed up to
find him, they saw him lying in a Dool
of blood. He had chopped his left
arm off completely. and nearly sew
cred his own head with an axe. He
died within an hour. The murder
and suicide astonished the neighbor
