Occasionally may be noted a regular lifting up and setting down of the fore feet, one leg after an other, with almost rhythmic motion. The antennae also have a gentle, quivering, apparently involuntary movement, almost breathing. The soundness of slumber w r as frequently proved by applying the feather end of a quill. The feather-tip is lightly drawn along the back, stroking ‘‘with the fur.” There is no motion. Again and again this action is repeated, the stroke being made gradually heav ier. Still there Is no change. The strokes are directed upon the head, with the same result. Then the feather is applied to the neck with a waving motion intended to tickle It. The ant remains motionless. Fin ally the sleeper is aroused by a sharp touch of the quill. She stretches out her head; then her legs, which she shakes also; steps uearer to the light, yawns, and begins to comb her anten nae and brush her head and mouth. Then she clambers over her sleeping comrades, dives into an open gang way, and soon has said ‘‘Good morn ing” to another tour of duty. Be it well noted, however. tb»* she ha? gone to •work, as she and ail her fel lows always do, not only rested, but with her person perfectly cleaned! — H. C. McCook, in Harper’s Magazine.

Speaking of food a railroad man says; “My work puts me mu in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular Lours for meals and compelled to eat all kiuds of food. ”For 7 years I was constantly trou bled with indigestion, caused by eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy, poorly cooked food, such as are most accessi ble to men in my business. Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensa tions in my stomach, which destroyed my sleep and almost unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to dis charge my duties properly. "This lasted till about a year ago, when my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly ev ery meal and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our ca booses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for it is ready cooked. “To make a long story short, Grape- Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of in digestion. I can digest anything so long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineer’s watch, and my old nervous troubles have disappeared entirely.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle k Creek, Micb.

LEE EXPLAINS HIS THE ORIES OF THE USE OF SUGAR Work Burnt Up the Carbohydrates Which the Body Need* and Sweet Thing* Are the Easiest Way of Supplying the Want—'Alkalis Serve the Same Purpose. Prof. F. S. Lee of the chair of physiology at Columbia University, who made the statement the other night at the Museum of Natural His tory that candy was a pretty good thing to freshen up on, said that he didn’t want that statement to be tak en too literally. “Any form of sugar taken In small quantities will produce the same re sult," said Prof. Lee. “I suggested candy because candy is the most agreeable form of taking sugar. Mo lasses would be just as effective In knocking out fatigue or a few lumps of plain sugar would do as well.” Prof. Lee started his work by ob serving manifestations of fatigue, both physical and mental, in man and the lower animals. After he had col lected a great quantity of data lie turned his attention to the chemistry of the phenomenon. By experiments with the muscles of frogs and small beasts he has prepared interesting charts showing by means of wave lines the growth of fatigue in the muscles for a given length of time without stimulation. Then he has ob served the same muscles after they have received injections of sugar or alkalis and recorded the results by means of the wave lines. In every instance the muscle under observation manifested greater ener gy and became dormant more slowly after it had a luncheon of sugar than before. Prof. Lee has even tried the sugar treatment on himself after ex cessive muscular action and obtained satisfactory results. "Other experimenters have gone further than I in that direction,” said the professor, ‘and their observation® have confirmed strongly my theory of the chemistry of fatigue. “Everybody knows that the work ing of the muscles produces fatigue manifested by two kinds of physical phenomena, diminution of lifting pow er and slowing up of muscular con traction. 1 have found that these phe nomena are brought on by chemical changes. The causes of fatigue are chemical causes. Get the causes ac curately and we are in a good way to find the cure. That applies to per sons in ill as well as normal health. It doesn’t require a scientist to under stand the immense importance of the work. "The chemical causes are, first, the consumption of necessary substances in the tissues, literally a burning up of these substances; second, the ac cumulation of waste products in the tissues. "The most important substance which is burned up when we work or play hard is some carbohydrate su gar or starch, as the case may be. I have treated animals with drugs and have removed from them the carbohydrates. I found they became fatigued, although they had done no work. Then 1 have given them sugar in the form of dextrose, and found that the fatigue disappeared rapidly. Some investigators have used men, putting them to hard manual labor, and Ahen experimenting when the subjects were thoroughly exhausted. Th*»y iUQf?nvoroH :»ftor had eaten a little sugar in the form of candy or something similar that in half an hour the fatigue began to disappear and went rapidly. "Obviously the sugar quickly di gested, replenished the wasted car bohydrate, and made the tired men fresh and energetic again. “As to the second cause, the waste materials which are produced during activity, especially muscular activity. There are at least three kinds of these waste materials which have been recognized as important in caus ing fatigue. All are acids in reaction. One is a variety of lactic acid called sarcolactic acid, the second is mono potassium phosphate and the third Is carbon dioxide, like the used up a!r we expel from our lungs I have test ed the action of these on the tissues particularly on the muscles, and I have found that each one is capable of producing fatigue. “It is reasonable to suppose that if acids cause fatigue the condition can be removed by the use of alkalis. That has been proved largely correct. The most eatable form of alkali is or dinarv cooking soda, sodium bicar bonate Doctors give it in diseases where acids are a prominent feature, and it has been found very useful. Acids appear in some diseases, such as diabetes and fevers, to produce ex cessive fatigue, even coma The use of alkalis has already done much to relieve that, and will do more if our experiments work out properly. In my own woik I have found that injec tions of alkalis remove fatigue pro duced by the waste materials 1 have mentioned."—New York Sun THIRD RAIL EXPERIMENTS. How Boat to Avoid Trouble Fron^ Snow. On many short electric railways in this country the current is supplied to car motors, not by an overhead wire and grooved wheel, but by a rail laid beside the two on which the cars rua. “Contact” is effected by a elid ing shoe at the side of the car, which is connected with the driving mechan ism by a suitable conductor Inasmuch as the New York Central expects in the course of a few months to begin operating a portion of its line near thi^ city by electricity, and intends to use the third rail system, it has been making a lot of experiments on a short section of track in the vicini ty of Schenectady to discover how best to overcome certain difficulties that are to be anticipated in winter. The third rail there is arranged in several different ways. In one place it is bare, in another it is party cov ered by a shield, fastened three or four inches above it, and in a third place it is turned upside down, so that the shoe presses upward against the inverted rail instead of sliding along the top. Early in the current month there was a fall of several inches of snow’ in the neighborhood of Schenectady, and the big electric locomotive that was built nearly two years ago fof test purposes was trotted out. “Th* Railroad Gazette” says that on the first trip of the engine little trouble was experienced on the unprotected rail which was right side up; but sub sequently the snow was packed down by the shoe so that a coating of hard ice remained. This was enough to interfere greatly with the passage of the current from the rail to the shoe. The protected rail did little better, because the snow plough would throw snow out side ways, and it w’ould lodge under the cover. Except at one point the invert ed rail behaved admirably. The excep tional trouble resulted from an accum ulation of snow on the upper surface of the shoe; but contact tended t© clean it off, whereas no such effect fol lowed when the shoe was applied from above to a rail that was right side up. After an inspection lasting all th© afternoon, it was agreed that the con ditions under which the locomotive was operating were more severe than in regular service, because no flang- ers were being run over the line; also, that the snowplough at present used on the locomotive can be improved; that the operation of the shoe on the under contact rail is much more satis factory than on the other types, andi that the rail is much easier to keep clean. The underrunning rail, to which reference is made, was designed and patented by Mr. Wilgus, one of the vice-presidents of the Central, and Mr. Frank J Sprague, a proruinent, electrical engineer. MOTHER ANTELOPE’S INSTINCT. A Case for the Humane Society. A Philadelphia real estate broker purchased an automobile last summer, and proceeded industriously to famil iarize himself with its mechanical construction. After a week’s coaching under the guidance of a chauffeur, the broker determined one evening to take a spin into the country without his tutor Ho decided to ride slowly. And to insure against being helplessly stalled on a lonely road, he fastened the family horse to the rear of the auto, so that it could tow the machine home in care of a breakdown. The au*o chucked along gently, when of a sudden the horse swayed and was dragged to earth. "Poor horse!" muttered the bro ker. sorrowfully, as he stepped from the cat ; "it's utterly exhausted.” "Exhausted!” snorted a passing farmer, as he sniffed the oily afmo- sphere; “you mean asphyxiated.”— Harper's Weekly.

Her Provision for Her Young a Won derful Instance of Providence. The manner in which the mother antelope protects her young until they are old and strong enough to join' the full-grown bands dn their wander ings is an interesting and wonderful instance of Nature’s providence. These beautiful creatures live in au open country infested by all kinds of enemies, and especially prowled over by the coyote, the gray wolf and the timber wolf, which subsist Aipon the young of all kinds of animals; yd tne mother can easily protect l*er babies from the fiercest of these marauders. The enemy most dreaded is the soar ing eagle. There is a variety of cactus, a prickly plant which grows in great abundance all over the Western plains, which furnishes her the means for this protection. Horses, cattle, buffalo, and in fact, all animals know the danger of treading on this plant. It grows in large patches some four or six inches in height above the ground, and forms a thick mat vary ing in breadth from the size of the top of a man’s hat to many feet. It is in the center of one of 'These' patches that the female antelope pre pares a place of safety for her young. The thorns of this cactus, while very poisonous and terribly painful to every other animal, for some reason are almost harmless to the antelope.* The cactus may lacerate her legs, making them bleed freely, but neither the stickers nor their poison remain; while other animals seldom bleed, but retain the poisonous stickers in their wounds until they become malig nant sores, causing excessive swell ing of the limbs and very great and long-continued suffering. When the antelope has selected her patch of cactus, backing away a few feet, she will make a running jump, bounding high in the air and alighting in the middle of the patch, with all four feet close togetner. the hoofs pointing downward. Then, springing out again and repeating this operation until she has chopped the roots of the cactus plant to pieces, she loosens and clears a space large enough for standing room. She then will enlarge it by pawing and digging with her sharp hoofs. Here she gives birth to her young in undisturbed security, knowing that she can leave them la comparative safety during the day and return to them at night to give suck. Should it be iu a locality where eagles abound however, the mother does not venture far away, as the soaring eagle often swoops down on the young, taking them away if she is not there to do battle for their lives.— From H H. Cross’s “How the Antelope Protects Its Young" in the Century Pigeon’s Long Flight. Wings battered and tail feathers partly gone, too plainly telling the story of captivity front which it had escaped, a pigeon which was one of the contestants in the 400 mile race from Memphis to Louisville, has reached its loft in the yard of the home of Charles Wirth, nearly two weeks late. The bird flew into its loft as if glad to get back home, but it showed that it had not had a pleas ant journey from Memphis It is supposed that the pigeon was trapped by some one when it was blown out of its course by the storm the birds are known to have en countered. Although it is not posi tively known, it is easily supposed that the bird, after being held in cap tivity for several days, was released, the capturers thinking the bird would stay. As soon as it was turned loose the bird took up its interrupted flight to Louisville and home.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

It is to us the most beautiful, as it is the most significant, banner of all the earth. And yet it took years of agitation to get a law passed that would protect the flag from being used for advertis ing purposes. And have you noted how neglectful of the flag is the average custodian of a public building? In many cases the flag flutters as a dirty rag. It is smoke-smudged and faded. It is per mitted to flap itself into strings and fragments. You never see a flag in that condi tion in a European country.
