THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred in
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in u box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds. hut since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer 1S1 than 40
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time

require any refreshments for the eve
ming call; but, especially II the young
man has expressed his intentions of
coming certain night, or If there are
to be several callers. plan some light
refreshments. In some families 1t is
customary to have some sort of light
refreshment toward the close of the
evening anyway, and then 1t is hos
pithble 10 nsk any callers who happen
to be present to pnrtake.
Now. here is something that every
young man ought to bear In mind. and
that Is that his leave-taking should be
brief. Having risen to depart. he
should show decision of character and
poise enough after bidding his hostess
and others who may be present good
night, to go away at once. but often
extremely young men, though they may
be willing enough to leave. seem to be
quite unable to do this. OF course this
dallying is often the fault Of those on
whom they are calling, who open new
topics of conversation just as they are
departing, and make it difficult for
them to leave at once. This also shows
certain lack Of social poise.

SOPHIA.

only name which Is closely associated
with Divine attributes. since Its origin
dntes back to the dedication of that
most gorgeous of Christian temples by
which Justinian declared that he had
surpassed Solomon. 1t was called
st. Sophia (the holy wisdom of God).
According to the preacher" in the
Book of Ecclesinsticus. Wisdom Is the
mother Of fair Love, Hope and holy
Fear. and this idea is said to have
suggested the allegory Of the holy
woman with three daughters SO called,
and in compliment to the newly built
church, the niece of Justinian's en-
press afterwnrd wife Of his nephew
and successor. was called Sophia. The
name straightway became fashionable
among the daughters of the nobility

THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN NUTRITION AND
 DIGESTION

CWritten Especially For The Bulletin)
 Once, years ago, when his insides were in state of uncomfortable revolt, the writer of this went to one of the most successful physicians in New England for relief and advice. The medico gave him a careful going over and reported that temporary relief was possible, but anything like permanent cure was be- yond the reach of medical knowledge.
 Thereupon he was asked for advice as Co diet What, how much, and how often should one eat in the grip of intestinal indigestion. The doctors answer to this perfectly natural question had the merit of honesty, if nothing more.
 Bless you" he said. q can't tell you what to eat or what not to eat" Point ing to the long rows of formidable-look- ing medical works which filled the book continued. There is practically nothing !n the way of food which isn't forbidden in such cases by at least one high med ical authority. If I should give you a list of foocs thus forbidden, covering the whole number which, by one physician or another. have been tabooed to dyspep- tics. l should have to include pretty nearly everything and condemn you to starvation. Youu have to find out for yourself. Some things will probably make their disagreement with you mani fest more or less emphatically. Other things will give you comparatively less

 This was so unlike the somewhat dog matic Eat this; leave that alone; ;" of some physicians that I was a little puzzled.
 Do you mean to say" I asked him, that you wouldn't forbid a late supper with mince pie and toasted cheese?"
 T certainly would not" came back the prompt reply. "On general principles should not advise such a supper. l should think a bowl of bread and milk or a piece of crisp toast would be safer. But we doctors don't know all the mys- teries of digestion. Nor can we explain all it's apparent self-contradictions. The very conclusion. which we think we've got securely boxed up and labelled and ticketed sometimes turns into something quite different right before our eyes. i The particular devil whom you're har- boring in your insides may have special | liking for mince pie and welcome it or he may have a deep seated grudge l against fresh milk and reject it.

 As matter of fact, the whole seven samples came out of the same oleomar- garine tub He was ordinarily a rather prosaic .Id chap. But think what an imagination ha must have had, after all
 Some years ago a neighbOr who has rather a reputation for her salads enter tained a guest from New York City who has an equal reputation for his discrimn- ation in salads. At the last moment she discovered that she was quite out of imported olive oil for the dressing, and had no time to procure a supply So she substituted some refined American cottonseed oil, and prepared herself to make apologies when the guest was served. Instead of calling for apologies however, he called for second helping of salad. and after dinner, confidentially begged sthe man of the house to obtain for him the secret ot blending so per feet a dressing.
 You see, knowing the reputation of his hostess for making extraordinarily fine salads his imagination took the cotton seed oil dressing in it's teeth and per suaded him it was made from the finest olives grown on Leghorn hills
 Every one of us has known similar cases. In fact, I sometimes think such cases are the rule, rather than the ex- ception. I once had a customer refuse some fine potatoes, dug unusually early, and ask me t, bring her a peck of old | potatoes, next trip. She didn't think the new potatoes could be wholesome until | they were mature, 1. e., ripe Yet she | bought green peas and green corn and | immature string beans and green cucum- 1 bers freely.
