NATURE SHORT ON PROTEIN Clover aiiil Legumes Highly Favored In Absorption of Food Freni the Atmosphere. A. B. O.—Dear Sir: In my last letter 1 wrote you about the carbohydrates, the functions which they fill iu the ani mal economy, and gave you some of the reasons for their abundance and cheapness. 1 also indicated some of the uses of protein and what an important past of our bodies it was, also that it was costly material compared with the carbohydrates and promised to give you some of the reasons why it was more costly. Nature can afford to be gener ous aud eveu lavish with the carbohy urates, because she is saving aud even stingy with the water and carbonic acid which enter into their composition; not a pound of either does she allow to go to waste. Apparently, She is very prodigal with both, but iu reality not. The floodgates of Heaven open and pour out millions of gailons of water in places where it is needed, and also in places where it is not needed, but every drop which is not absorbed and used by the thirsty earth runs back into the sea ready to be distilled again aud again from its surface by the heat of the sun and used over again and again, and the same with carbonic acid gas, as I illus trated to you in my last letter. That is the highest sort of economy, which uses its raw materials over and over again without their ever wearing out. But iu the case of protein Mother Nature is not so generous as with carbo hydrates. Indeed, She is stingy’ and nig gardly, and why? Because She is waste ful of her raw material. Nitrogen is the essential element in the raw material out of which protein is built. Like carbonic acid, nitrogen is also a gas, colorless aud invisible. It constitutes in round numbers four-fifths, or 80 per cent of the atmosphere. We inhale it iu every bn-.1 th, but it has no < tl-et upon us whatever, merely serving to dilute the oxygen, which supports our life and which constitutes the remaining fifth of the atmosphere. For illustration, let us suppose we burn up the dead body of a dog and at the same time a pile of wood. In the act of burning, the pro tein which forms so large a part of the animal’s body is decomposed and its ni trogen escapes into the atmosphere, not to be taken up and used over again by growing plants, like the <carbouic acid and water which result from burning the pile of wood, but- to remain as an inert gas in the atmosphere, unable to enter into or be absorbed by the grow ing crops about which it circulates. Al though they may be in sore need and distress for the lack of that very nitrogen, they cannot absorb it and use it while still in the gaseous form, although there ' are oceans of it around and about and i touching them. To illustrate again, let us suppose I the dead body of the dog decays,in • I growing crops, the’ nitrogen of the I body v. i 1 be converted by slow process i of deca;, and by the agency of the pu ‘ trefactive organisms or microbes into ■ ammonia and nitrates. In thia last f >rin of nitrate, which is familiar to you in the white salt, known as salt peter, the roots of the plant are at last able to absorb the nitrogen, which con stituted a part of the animal's body am to use and work it over in their little cells and bodies and thus convert it into vegetable protein, which is then in a condition to be eaten by animals, say by a sheep, and thus to become a part of the lean meat of its body, which in turn being eaten by man as mutton, be comes a portion of his body. I But observe the wastefulness of nature in this case; unless that carcass decay at the proper time and place in the vicinity of growing crops or plants there is griev ous waste. The protein of the body will decay as usual aud be converted by the nitrifying organisms or microbes I mentiuned above into nitrates. Now these nitrates are very soluble in water and unless the roots of the plants are at baud to appropriate them they are car ried off in the drainage waters into th springs, creeks and rivers and pass into the sea, a total loss so far as Agricult ure is concerned. By reflecting on thes. facts you will begin to appreciate the value of solu ble nitrogen, to realize why it is that a pound of beef costs more than a pound of bread, aud also to reai ire the great mistake made by Mothe* Nature iu not creating all plants free and equal in their ability to absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere, just as they absorb carbonic acid aud water. In passing, and to illustrate the fact that Nature is not republican or demo cratic in her instincts and does not be ! lieve iu granting equal rights and privi leges to all her children. I will mention : the fact that the general law I have stated ’ above about plants not being able to ap ! L exceptions, and that a few favored 1 children of nature have thi speeia. ■ a i ilege granted t.> them. The tavorues i who enjoy this unural monopoly ars I i the clovers and legumes. This last I named covers all of the plants of the I pea and bean famil v. This <. xcaption , I to the g< neral law is <>m» of immense > j importune.' to Agriculture, and we will j dwell on it later when we come to dis- • I cuss the subject of fertilizers. In my next letter 1 intend to give you ; a tabla giving analvses of the different more important fe< ling stuffs and show- t i carbohydr.iti s, fat and ::sh f imd in | them. All the elements ! .und in the | 1 animal body are also found in the plants | on which the animals feed I'i.r this reason, 1 will, at the risk of being a lit , tie tedious, explain a little more fully than I have alaeady done, some, of the terms to bo used in tbetabloof analyses ■ of feeding stuffo WATER: this is ossenti.il to the' , proper distribution of tho nourishing fluids through the animal system, and is usually nine than half the live I ( weight of the animal. No matter ( how dry a feeding stuff may appear , to be, it always contains a considerable quantity of water, say from 10 to 90 per cent of its weight. Though this water L may render the food more succulent and ; palatable, it is of no more value than . the water which the animal drinks. So, ( for this reason, and because tho varia . tion of the water content is so great, comparison of the different foods is . usually made on a “dry basis,” that is t the dry matter left after expelling the ( water by heat. I have already described FiUjTEIN quite fully, and will say no more about that In addition to what I have already Baid about CARBOHYDRATES, I will add, that the chemist usually divides them into two groups, one they call “ni trogen free extract”—which consists of the starch, sugar and gums in tbe plant, | I the other group they call cellulose or ■ , fiber. The fiber of wood, of hay and straw is largely cellulose. Cotton fiber is almost pure cellulose. Though so different in appearance, both starch and cellulose are carbohydrates. Coarse fodders, hay and straw contain much fiber. The grains, wheat and corn, con tain only a little fiber, but much “nitro gen free extract,” or starch and some sugar. Cellulose is identical with starch in chemical composition and may be con verted like starch by suitable treatment with acids and alkalies into dextrin and ! then into grape sugar. The glucose or grape sugar largely used in candy manufacture, is made almost entirely by chemical treatment of corn starch with tfeid. Grape sugar occurs in small , quantities in the different feed stuffs, and during the course of digestion in the body it is formed iu large quan tity from the starch and other carbohy . dratea. The ASH is what is left after burn ing a feed stuff. It consists princi pally of potash,, soda, lime, magnesia and of carbonic, sulphuric and phos phoric acids. These constitute the min eral salts of food stuffs, aud during the process of digestion the animal absorbs what it needs of them and the rest is excreted with the manure. The term FAT in the table of analysis means the fat or oil which is In tfie foodstuff. It is of the same composition practically as the fat of the body. The fat of the feeding stuff is either assimi lated tn tho body, as body fat, or else , i burued’to furnish heat aud energy. John M. McCandless, State Chemist. There May He a. Sea Serpent. 1 Modern deep sea explorations formed ths 3 subject of an interesting lecture given at - the McKendree' Methodist Episcopal t I church recently by C. H. Townsend, who, as a member of the United States fish commission, has made a number of trips ' in tho Atlantic and In the Pacific oceans 9 on the steamship Albatross. . Mr. Townsend spoke at some length of the fabulous sea serpents. If you would * call them sea monsters, ho said, he would ■ by no means dispute tho possibility of t their existence. Dredging at great depths j had resulted in the finding of many species which the naturalist had classed as ex tinct. All of these had been small ani mals, as present methods had not develop -9 ed so as to obtain the larger ones. Now, it . is known that in prehistoric times many sea monsters existed, and while those are r supposedly extinct Mr. Townsend eonsid- - ers it by no means improbable that some 7 of them are still living in great depths. Once in awhllo perhaps one of them might y come to the surface, and in this manner ■ f which most people laugh at, could be ex r plained as correct.—-Washington Post t A Fortunate tssnssln.

In Tho Ladit s’ lb me Journal Edward Ifok, with much satisfaction, notes the strong teudtney to country living and believes that “it is one of the best signs ! of the times. Nothing in the world can ! keep a man or woman so young and I fresh as to lie able to be in touch each • day with tbe perpetual freshness and I ■ youth of nature. Suburban life means i j more out of doer Jiving, and that is ; i what we Americans all need. We want | : more exercise, and suburban living I makes that ea.-i. r. We w.mt our inter est in things kept fre.-h, and that nature does for us as nothing else can. “Die. more our busy mm see of na- | tun ’s restful ways the more restful i will they become.

The mole -..r young men see of out of dom .-puns the more clear ly will they realize the greatness of splendid physical health. “The more the tired housewife sees of flowers and plants and trees the closer will become her interest in ali things natural and simple, and, as she sees the simplicity with which nature works un consciously, will the lesson be forced up on her and enter into her own methods. We all agree that there is no teacher like nature herself. Let us all, then, get us close to her as possible. Whatever she teaches is wholesome to the mind and uplifting to the soul and strength ening to the body. In the very act of studying her wonderful ways there is health. ’’ THE ALBATROSS. A Bird of Mnjeatie Aerial Velocity and Insatiable Appetite. Out of the blue void the albatross comes unhasting on motionless pinions, yet at “such speed that one moment a ipcck hardly discernible, turn but your eyes away, and ere you can again look round he is gliding majestically over head. Nothing in nature conveys to the mind so wonderful an idea of effortless velocity as does his calm appearance from vacancy. Like most of the true pelagic birds, he is a devourcr of offal, tbe successful pursuit of fish being im possible to his majestic evolutions. His appetite is enormous, but bis powers of abstinence are equally great, and often for days he goes without other nourish ment than a drink of the bitter sea. At the Gargantuan banquet provided by a carcass of a dead whale ho will gorge himself until incapable of rising from tho sea, yet still his angry scream may be heard as if protesting against his in ability Li find room for more provision against hungry days soon to follow. Desjiito his incomparable grace of flight when gliding through midair with his mightj’ wings outspread, when ashore or on deck he is clumsy and ill at ease. Even seated upon the sea, his proportions appear somewhat ungainly, while hie huge hooked beak seems too heavy to be upheld. On land he can hardly' Iktlanoe himself, and the broad silky webs of his feet soon become lacer ated. Thus his visits to the lone and generally inaccessible rocks -which are his breeding places are as brief as may be, since even conjugal delights trie dearly purchasedwith hunger and pain ful restraint. A true child of the air, land is hateful to him, and only on the wing does he appear to bo really at home und easeful.—London Spectator. C ruel < uptalnt It would not dccur to many people \ that a voyage in one of the swan boats which sail the little pond in tbe public garden of a New England city could be attended with horrors, but that idea was firmly fixed in the mind of a small maiden of 7 years. “Would you like a ride in one of the > swan bouts, Marjorie?” asked the little j maid’s aunt as they crossed the bridge j over the pond one day. “No, indeed,” said Marjorie, with sudden shrinking. “I couldn't bear to see them throw the babies iu. “The man says that’s what he does, ” she asserted with rising excitement ns, her aunt looked much perplexed, “Hear him 1 He’s saying it now.” Her aunt listened, and of a truth the man’s statement, viewed from Mar jorie's standpoint, was far from reas suring. “Take a ride in the swan boats, ” he calledjoudly from the landing. “Grown folks, 16 cents; children, 5,” and then, with a deceptive smile, he added, "Ba bies thrown in.”—Youth's Companion. Napoleon In Kverureen. The great Napoleon, done in ever green, is the unique statue that stands in the garden of M. d’Aguilleres, in the suburbs of Paris. The statue is a perfect actoristic attitude, wearing a cocked hat and sword and snuffbox in hand. The features are very lifelike. The greatest care is necessary in order to preserve the likeness, and the artist gardener spends considerable time in clipping off dead leaves and cutting away an occasional branch. The signa ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the foot of tbe statue in flowers.—Paris Letter Her Maiden Aim. Hoax—So young Goldrox has taken a wife. What was her maiden name?
