"What Is Man,
Interesting Answer Dealing With
Physical Makeup

A man weighing $50 pounds will con-
tain approximately $500 cubic feet Of
gas-oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen
in his constitution, which at 80 cents
a thousand cubic feet would be worth
$3.50 for Illuminating purposes, as
serts writer in the Electrical Elk
perimenter. He also contains all the
necessary fats to make 15-pound
candle, and thus, together with his
$500 cubic feet of gases, he possesses
considerable Illuminating possibilities.
His system contains twenty-five pounds
and ten ounces of carbon, or enough to
make 7SO dozen, or $3.50 lead pencils.
There are about fifty grains of iron in
his blood and the rest of the body
would supply enough of this metal to
make one spike large enough to hold
his weight, A healthy. man contains
fifty-four ounces Of phosphorus. This
deadly poison would make 100000
matches or enough poison to kill 500
persons. This, with two ounces of
lime, make the stiff bones and brains.
No difference how sour man looks,
he contains about sixty Jumps of sugar
of the ordinary cubical dimensions, and
to make the seasoning complete, there
are twenty spoonfuls Of salt. If a
man were distilled into water, he
would make about thirty-eight quarts,
or more than half his entire weight.
He also contains great deal of starch,
chloride of potash, magnesium, sui
phur and hydrochloric acid in his Won
derful human system. Break the
shells of 1000 eggs into huge pan or
basin, and you have the contents of a
man from his toenails to the most
delicate tissues of his brain. And this
is the scientific answer to the question,

Public Asked to Abstain
From Unnecessary Travel
to European Countries

The state department has reiterated
its request that the public abstain for
the present from all unnecessary
travel to European countries. The de-
partment asserts that applications for
passports to these countries were be-
ing received in such large and daily
increasing numbers that, 1t had been
deemed necessary ''to emphasize the
fact that passports cannot be issued
for Great Britain. France, Switzerland.
Belgium or Italy unless positive docu-
mentary evidence is furnished by appli-
cants which will satisfy the depart
nent of the urgent necessity for visits
to those countries"
Business houses and in some cases
relief organizations have applied for
passports not in good faith, state
ment by the department said. In some
cases these passports have been issued
before the bad faith was discovered,
but 1t was said that all firms found
to have misstated the facts would be
blacklisted.

Familiar "Hoss-Shoe" Game
Proves a Magnet for Many,
Despite the Call to Duty

The custom of using horseshoes in
stead of the large, fiat metal rings
with which the game of quoits Is pro-
fessionally played was ancient when
Joseph Strut wrote his "Sport and
Pastimes of the People of England"
well over a hundred years ago, and,
according to a traveller in modern
New England, they are still so used in
that part of the world. The traveller
tells of seeing two Maine farmers
meet early one morning in the road
in front of farmhouse. "rll play
you a game of hoss-shoes," suggested
one. 'I'll play you just one game"
said the other. ''rve got lot of work
to do today" So they began playing.
and when the traveller passed that
way again late in the afternoon they
were still at it. They had been play
ing horseshoes all day. and the farm
er's wife confided to the traveller. not
altogether with admiration, that they
hadn't stopped even for dinner.

Italy, the Worlds Most
Famous Source for Both
Art and Building Marble

Italy is one of the worlds most ia
nous sources of supply for both art
and building marbles, and marble.
granite and building stones are the
common materials used for buildings
in that country. Venice is fireproof
city, built of stone Of Istria and mar
BILE; and the foundations and first
courses, at least, of all palaces, pub
lie and municipal buildings, govern
ment and business edifices are of
these materials.
The most important quarries in the
Veneto are at and near Verona, the
Veronese red and yellow marbles hav-
ing been favorite building stones since
the time when the Coliseum at We
roma was constructed. For building
they rank next to the stone of Istria
in popularity, and are true marbles,
while the stone of Istria is not true
marble, although very hard lime
stone, that is much used in Venice,
because it resists the action of salt
water.
Besides their value for construction,
the Veronese marbles are in great de-
mand for decorative work. Among the
names of the several varieties of
Veronese marbles are white nembro,
coral pink, white peach, partridge eye.
yellow snail, yellow azure, and para
disc.

EUROPE. STARTS ITS

University Of Paris Team to Make
Trip to England.
American Asgregations Are Playing
Exhibition Games in Southeastern
France-lmmense Crowds Wit

The European baseball season has
opened. the University Of Paris having
scheduled games with the University
Of Lyons, Nice, Dion, Nancy and Tou-
louise, with trip to England in June
to play Oxford, Cambridge and Edln-
burgh.
The University of Toulouse has four
baseball teams and American aggre-
cations are playing exhibition games
in southeastern France. Ten thou
sand persons witnessed a game at
Toulouse recently, while at Pau there
were 5000 present. At Tarbes there
was an attendance of 1000, or quar-
ter of the population of the city.
John T. Powers, now a Y. NJ. G. A.
worker at Toulouse, said:
81 think the French are the coming
people in baseball. They have the
best baseball eye of any people, next
to the Americans, so far as my oh
servation goes. Leaders feel the game
is suited to the French temperament,
although time will be necessary to
introduce the game. The scientific at
titude of baseball appeals to the
French, but other features are inter-
esting to them, for instance, the speed
necessary in playing the game and the
necessity of making quick judgment.
French youngsters are very keen in
picking up the niceties of baseball.
Several hundred boys at Toulouse are
now playing scrub games just like.

Arlie Latham, Old-Time st. Louis Fa-

for Talent.

Arlie Latham, formerly of the St.
Louis Browns, and for several years
member of the Cincinnati Reds, now
master of all English baseball fields,
is coming to America to get talent.
Latham is very optimistic over the
games progress in the British king

years have elapsed merry old England
will be engaged in an international
tournament with clubs of America for
the championship of the world.
And he goes further and says that
when those games are played the
crowds in England will be bigger than
the crowds in America.
