Tho experiments recently mado at

Tho results of tho experiments aro
astonishing, Inasmuch aa they show
conclusively tho great Increase of
growth attained by supplementing
"Tho Light of NJturo" with "Tho
Light of Acolyleno" during tho hours
In which the plants would otherwise bo
In darkness. For instance, a certain
numbor of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during tho night, grow
to twice tho actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only, all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with tho help of acety

light not ovsn buds were npparent.
Acetylcno is already taking its

American Homes and Cities Showing

It has long and Justly been a re
proach to Americans that they are bo
dovoted 'to tho material and practical
that ideals havo been neglected. It Is
boyond dispute that as respects artis
tic adornment the averago American
homo or town is Inferior to the for
olgn homo or town. This has been no
toriously tho caso In the country,
where tho American pioneer chopped
or burned every treo In sight of his
homesfead, then had to set out shade
trees for tho benefit of his grandchil
dren. It Is only lately that American
cities and prlvato citlzenB have em
barked upon Intelligent and compre
hensive enterprises of city and homo
adornment. Europo is old and staid.
America young and restless, with a
large migratory population which nev
er stops long enough In one plnco to
havo a home. In this respect things
aro changing, and what is to bo mado
a homo only for a few years can In a
short time, under the favorable cir
cumstances of living here, bo mado as
attractive artistically as many Euro
pean homos which have been such for
generations. This country owes to Its
population of recent European origin
a largo share of tho credit for the
nowly awakened interest in natural

"I was a party to a llttlo deceptlou

"A woman who studied abroad for her

Then she proposed to hire various ar

she bad made similar arrangements
with a bric-a-brac dealer In Broadway.
I read an account of the wedding in

Magazine Writer Discourses on Recent
Important Events.
Money talks. Sometimes Its elo
quence almost drowns whatever still
small voices may be pleading for the
flcor. Honestly, betwoon ourselves,
we sometimes weary of Its conver
sation. Money is exciting, but It oc
casionally seems almost to have tho
Btar role, with other Interests no
where. John D.'s notable exploit with
the great American college fraternity
was a relief, for it enabled us to
laugh. "So," said he, "you criticised
the Congrcgationallsts for accepting
my $100,000, did you? Well, I'll buy,

spicuous scion of that noble university
now clamors for attention long enough
to make a speech on the habits and
duties of famous financiers. As for
us, wo can do nothing to stem tho

Moreover, wo believe that tho uni
versities would do well to cavil a trifle
longer, for rather than not acquire
a restful silence Mr. Rockefeller
would come out with $100,000,000. So
why not get as largo a graft out of

Lengthy Epic Poem.
Tho late Hermann LIngg accom
plished tho extraordinary feat of
writing an epic poem of 20,000 lines
on tho migrations of peoples. Ho
Spent decades In collecting material
for it, not, as he explains, in libraries,
but in hospitals, taverns and military
camps. Ho was at one time an army
surgeon. As long ago as 1S90 his
seventieth birthday was celebrated at
Munich, where the prince regent
made him a noble and the city con
ferred on him honorary citizenship.
In the last years he had lost his fac
ulties and strength to such an extent
as to seem like a child. His daughter,
Mall, devoted herself entirely to tak
ing care of him. During tho years of
his connection with the army he often,
llko Byron, composed his poems on
horseback.
Knew His Own Capacity.
Abe Gruber, tho Nev York lawyer,,
tolls of a southern friend who was
visiting him. Mr. Gruber, wishing to
be hospitable, brought forth a whisky
bottle and placed It on the dining
room table. He went to the china
closet to get some whisky glasses. On
his return ho was surprised to see
that his friend had filled up an ordi
nary water glass to the brim and was
about to drink it. "Say," said Mr.
Gruber, "what aro you doing? You
drink that as if it were elder."
"Cider?" said the southerner, drain
ing his glass, "do jou think I'd take
that much elder?"
Responded to Name After Death.
At a guillotining In Paris, France,
the doctor in attendance made a grue
some experiment. As the murderer's
head fell Into the basket the doctor
seized It and shouted the man's name
In his ear, whereupon tho eyes opened
slowly and then closed. This was re
peated a second time, with the same
effect, but to the third call there was
no response. The doctor explained
that after death there is a sensibility
of the tissues much longer in those
executed In the full vigor of health
than in the case of death after Illness.
OPERATE ON 8ENAT0R CLARK.
Surgeons Remove Diseased Bone from
Head of Statesman.
Senator William Clark of Montana,
was operated upon for an abscoss of
the brain at his homo. New York,
July 1C.
A favorable outcome of tho senator's
UlnesB Is anticipated, although, as the
oporation was a serious one, It prob
ably will bo several days beforo an ul
timate recovory Is assured
The present Illness has no connec
tion with nor is not resultant from
an attack suffered by the senator near
ly a, year and a half ago when he
underwent an operation.
A year ago last November tho sena
tor contracted a cold which developed
an acute mastoiditis. He was then in
Butte, Mont., and went to New Xrk,
where a successful oporation was per
formed. The senator quickly regain
ed his normal condition and contin
ued In tho best of health until last
February, when a severe cold devel
oped lno pneumonia. Ho never fully
recovered from his sickness of that
time.
In spite of poor health ho looked
after his Immense business Interests
up to three weeks ago, when ho was
seized with violent pains in tho left
side of his head at Butte. Theso
pains continued Intermittently, and
ten days ago ho docided to go to New
York that the cause of his trouble
might, If possible, be determined and
removed. A week ago he arrived
there. Theso pains In his head wero
followed by a discharge from the left
car.
An examination by his physicians
showed that an acute inflammation
of tho middle ear, resultant from the
attack of pneumonia, had never
wholly subsided and that a radical
operation was Imperative Senator
Clark readily oonsented to the opera
tion and Immediately set about ar
ranging his business affairs so that
they would not be Jeopardized during
his temporary confinement. An opera
tion for the removal of the dead bono
Senator Clark,
and tho excoriation of the dead pus
that had gathered in the vicinity of
tho middle ear was determined upon.
Accordingly tho skull was trephin
ed. It was found that the bone of tho
left ear had become diseased and pus
gathering had eaten Its way through
tho bone to the brain, causing an
abscess. Two Inches of this bone was
removed.

TIME OF CUBAN PROSPERITY
Rapidly Increasing In Population and
Trade Showing Extension.
In 1899, when tho last census was
taken, the population of the Island was
1,500,000; it Is now computed to havo
increased some 300,000. The number
of Immigrants who arrived last year
was about 15,000, the great majority
of whom came from Spain. The fact
bears witness to the confidence now
felt by Spaniards (formerly so pessi
mistic) in the maintenance of law, or
der and prosperity.
In the first year of Cuban independ
ence tho sugar crop was about 300,000
tons; it had increased last year to 1,
000,000 tons, and is expected this year
to reach 1,250,000. A large amount of
raw cotton is now raised in the de

Imports from Cuba have advanced
from about $57,000,000 in 1903 to near

DEMAND FACTS
About What You Eat.
When It comes to food, demand to
know the facts about what goes Into
your stomach.
Not only that It Is pure, but that
you aro not deceived In tho descilp
tion of its contents nnd condition.
Some flaked breakfast foods that havo
thus far failed are now being adver
tised In close Imitation of tho Grape
Nuts advertising, thinking In that way
to finally mako a success of tho fail
ure. But false statements of tho merits
of human food will never on earth
build . up a business. Theso flaked
foods are not pre-dlgested. They aro
not fully cooked and tho starch In
them is starch still, and has not been
turned to sugar as claimed.
Chemical analysis tells tho truth
and tho analysis of the famous chem
ists of tho world show Grape-Nuts tho
only prepared breakfast food In
which tho starch part of the wheat
and barley has been transformed into
sugar and therefore ready for immedi
ate digestion. Why Is tills true? All
tho thin rolled flake foods are mado
by soaking the grains of wheat or
oats in water, then rolling, drying and
packing. Theso operations do not
cook or pre-digest the starch.
Contrasted with this pretense, ob
serve tho carp, method and skill la
making Grape-Nuts.
The barley is soaked about ono
hundred hours, then It i3 slowly
warmed for some days and sprouted,
tho diastase being developed and part
of the starch turned to sugar (and
later on all of It), then tho grains aro
baked and tho sprouts stripped off.
Then com., grinding, sifting and mix
ing with tho creamy colored flour
mado from white and maccarohl
wheat. This mixture must be skill
fully mado In right proportions. This
blended flour contains Just tho ingred
ients demanded by naturo to rebuild
tho soft gray substance In tho nervo
centers and brain, but how to mako
the food easy to digest, that was tho
question.
It certainly would not do to mix in
drugs, -for there is a certain failure
sure to come to tho person depending
on drugs to digest food. They may do
for a temporary expedient, but purj
food and digestible food Is tMe only
final resort and s way." So to
change tho remaining starch part and
prepare the other elements in this
blended flour it Is mado up into mas
sive loaves like bread, tho Inside be
ing dark cream color and quite sticky
to tho touch. Theso loaves are sliced
and again go through long cooking at
certain temperatures. Then the rock
hard slices aro each one carefully In
spected and ground ready for packing
and use, having gone through 10 or 12
hours in tho different operations.
When finished, each little granulo
will show a sparkling substance on its
Burface. A magnifying glass will
bring it out clearer and develop llttlo
pieces of pure dextrose sugar, not
put on "or poured over" (as the head
of a largo Sanitarium onco stated In
his paper, thus exposing his appalling
ignorance of food processes), but this
sugar exudes from tho interior of each
as the starch is slowly turned to
sugar in tho process of manufacture.
This kind of sugar Is exactly like
what is found In the human intestines.,
provided the starch of tho grains, po
tatoes, bread, rice, cake, etc., etc., has
been perfectly digested. But many'
are weak in that form of digestion,
and yet need the starches, so Grape
Nuts supplies them pre-dlgested and
ready to go quickly Into the blood.
Visitors aro shown freely through
tho works and can follow the steps or
making Grape-Nuts from the grain to
tho finished product. The proportions
of different kinds of flour, and tho
temperatures are not disclosed and it
seems impossible for others to steal
theso secrets of tho makers. But
purity, cleanliness and skill aro showa
In every corner of the immense pure
food factories. People who care for
results from choicely selected food,
those who want the food to rebuild
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerves that give the go, the vigor, tho
life, will understand why the imita
tors who try to copy the announce
ments about Grape-Nuts have failed
In the past
There's a reason for Grape-Nuts and.
a profound one.
