itt-'nil.-d his funeral that we heard, cas

a widow.

in tho- days than it is now, and it was
not until nearly G o'clock in the evening
that I drove, in the iumberin coach

Aunt Ju loh had only returned to live
there during the past six months, so I
was not surprised to find the place in a
wry untidy state. Such, tit h ast, was
my impression from what I saw through
the d 'irkness of the evening.

C.'atnjspil on a Volcano.
A special dispatch from the City of
Mexico titates that William D. Richard
son, the young Costoii naturalist, lias fin
ished bis work in the Sierra Nevada
moittiTidns, and on the active volcano of
Coi-hen, where he has been camped for
the le.-t two months. From the extreme
summit of the Sierra Nevada he could
look down iuio the crater of the volcano.
There were every five hours or more
signs of activity, great clouds of vapor,
gas mid ashes coming up w ith niagniu
re:t ctri-i t r.nd rising to a tremendous
height. But from the Sierra Nevada no
sound could be heard.
Richardson, being determined to in
vestigate nearer at hand, moveel his camp
to tho side of the volcano at great per
sonal risk, pitching his tent at the upper
!i;u' of pine trees i.nd just below the
iove-r lines of ashe.- lava. From thk
point Richardson r.:. 1 his Indian follow
ers could hear the f m a :.-f ;h volcano.
One night during ike eieyrion they
could distinctly see the det p. r d glow of
molten lava as it ran down the mountain.
Richardson w-as regarded by the natives
a. phenomenally daring, bat his expe
dition resulted in no harr.i to himself or

li'insii - profound as any with which phy
sical sei. nee has to deal. The woit.s of
nature culminate in man. In his organ
ism la r op ..rations are most complex and
recondite. The laws which regulate our
physical being are discovered but slowly,
nnd by the most ingenious and profound
r search. Those which govern the nutri
tion f our bodies have been shrouded in
my: ( ry, which only the investigation of
later time has begun to unveil. Hut the
crude the l ies of the past, are being grad
ually replaced by the more certain know l
edge :f the present.
lint this evil of overeating', be it
great or small, is, of coin se, en lined to
the clashes to whom generous fortune,
unchecked by reasonable restraint, al
lows it. There are countless sufferers
from dietary habits into which self in
dulgence has not tempted, but relentless
fate have forced them. The overfed only
pay for pleasure the penalty of pain.
The greater misery of the underfed, their
hunger, with its inseparable attendants,
ignorance, nekishness, crime and degra
dation, are things of terrible moment.
The lecturer referred to the income and
e;ps laiil m e of the body, as follows:
"The body receives food, drink and
oxygen, whiedi constitute its income.
Part of this material is transformed into
flesh, fat. bono and other tissues of the
bodv. The remainder, together with the
t issues worn out by use, is transformed
into urea, carbonic acid, waiter, etc.
These products are given ol" from the
body and constitute its expenditure."
Iib.i-t r-'.ti .1 maps were used to show
the dietaries ef dilTerent people engaged
in dilTerent occupations, and he proved
that although people in this country
work harder and need to have more and
better food than those of corresponding
clas.-s in fhirope, yet that many persona
of sedentary habits, who really need but
little, consume as much as would be re
quired if they were engaged in severe
muscular labor.
A certain amount of food is necessary
to keep the machinery moving. A large
number of well to do people of this coun
try cat much more than is necessary.
The excess consists of meats and gweet
meat i. We ransack the four quartern of
tho earth for materials to excite the ap
P'.y,' , ai l thus increase the amount of
food consumed. Most people of this
country a.'i? engaged in occupations
winch require- comparatively little mus
cular exercise, and the result is we im-po:"'-
apen our bodies the task of getting
rid or a large amount of material in ex
cess of its needs at fearful cost to health
and happiness.
T!:e cheapest food is thot which su
nliei the most nutriment for the least
moi.ev. The most economical food is
that which is cheapest and best adapted
to tie- wants of the user. Hut the maxim
that "the best is the cheapest" does not
:p. H s' lo food. the best food, in tne
sen:; of that v- hkh has the finest ap
pearance and ii.;or and is sold at the
high.--! price, is not gene-rally the cheap
est ii.'i the most economical, nor is it ah
ways iho most healthful. It is important
that people be taught about their food.
but tiie tirst requisite is the information
to give them. The subject is, however.
new. I:i its investigation we stand upon
th" lor 1. is. of a continent of which but
a small part has yet been explored. In
th great Ikiiopean universities investi
gation is active. In our own country
exiia inly little has been done, and that
little is dependent almost entirely upon
private monifieence for its support.
'What," said the speaker, "is to I e
done about it? In the first place ve
ougg I to find what (laws there nre if
any. in the conclusions to which the Lc-.at
research of the time seems to force
us. Then we must see how these con
rkisions are to be supplemented. This
wili require abstruse and costly. exjeri
meniing. But at the same time the pub
lic needs to be educated. People need
lo uniterstand the fundamental princi
ples. The laws of a large number of
states and territories require that physi
ology be taught in the public schools,
but unfortunately the teachers them
s Ives are deficient in training, and many
of tliu tcit Looks are sadly defective."
In referring to the importance of pains
taking research, the speaker cited the
experience with the respiration appar
atus. This in its best form has been used
ia a few European universities and ex
periment station laboratories, but not in
this country. The greatest difficulties
attend its management. Professor Hen
neberg, of the University of Goettingen,
began work of this kind over twenty
years ago and has only lateh", and after
the expenditure of many thousands of
doll. as, succeeded in getting his respira
tkn apparatus into condition for experi
ments of the desired accuracy. Rut 'the
great problem now before the student of
animal nutrition is that of the income
and expenditure of energy in the animal
body. It will require the keenest, most
elaborate and most painstaking efforts of
the chemist, the phy-iclst, and the biolo
gist, but the ell'oi't toward its soluriou
must be made.
j In speaking of researches in this linq
i in the United StaUs it was that we arc
! very far behind Furopean investigators,
! thai, indeed, we Lave hardly made a be
; c inning-. What we most need is trained
