NOTES AND COMMENTS. IN its record of moving incidents by flood and field, 1890 has far outstripped its memorable predecessor. This year, however, Europe seems to be principal sufferer; in other words, calamities have traveled eastwardly. PBCAN nut farming is one of the grow ing industries of the Gulf States. After the trees have begun to bear, they in volve no labor or expense, and yield, it is said, an income of from SSOO to SI,OOO an acre, according to the quality of the nuts. ACCORDING to statistics contained in a recent report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, 704,743 persons were em ployed on all the railways in the United States during the present fiscal year. Of these, 1,972 were killed while on duty, and 20,080 maimed. ACCORDING to the returns of the new census for 1890, the existing gross in debtedness of the several counties of the various States of the Union is $145,093,- 840, toward which the amounts held in sinking funds, cash, and other resouroes are $30,408,955, leaving $115,224,885 as the actual debts not provided for. The annual interest charge is $7,318,374. A YOUNG woman holds the position of conductor on one of the railroads in Col orado, and gives entire satisfaction. She collects lares and punches tickets like a man; but when it comes to putting some fellow off because of his failure to comply with tho requirements of the railroad company, it is her custom to tall on a man to do the work, and brakesmen and passengers are equally willing to assist her. FOLLOWING the extermination of the buffalo, another American character is about to tnke to its heels through the dust of the dead ages. In July only 80,000 sealskins had been taken, and the seal rookeries were almost abandoned. Poachers are killing off the females of all ages, and an authority predicts that un less Behring Sea is closed for three months the seal will have become ex tinct. BKHRING SEA is swarming with seal pirates, says Mr. William Palmer, of the National Museum, who has returned from a special mission to that sea. The poachers shoot the seals in the water and succeed in getting only one out of 'every four they kill. Their victims are mostly females, and the result is still more un favorable to the continued existence of the seal. The pirates have killed about 80,000 this year, he thinks—an enormous waste of a valuable animal. A CO-OPERATIVE community of a dozen families is to be founded by business men of Chicago at Kvanston on the lake shore. Twelve houses are to be built around a court, and a club-house at one end of the court which shall contain a complete kitchen and laundry, aud all the buildings will be lighted and heated from the same plant. The work of all sorts is to be done in common; each per son investing SB,OOO becomes a partner and equal owner, besides having his own lot. THE Canadian experimental farms are said not to be very helpful to agricultur ists. On the contrary, they have a dis couraging effect. When a farmer of moderate menus visits one of these farms ho sees a large number of dwelling houses, barns, stables, etc., erected at enormous cost. He sees valuable horses, a large staff of men and "fancy farming" on a largo scale. Ho concludes that if such costly luxuries are necessary in order to make farming pay he cannot af ford them, and he gives up agriculture to try something else. A RECENT number of the New York Independent contains letters from a large number of the most prominent railway officials of this country describing the rules of the several companies respecting the drinking habits of their employees. From these letters it appears that on nearly all first class railways it is agonist the rule for a man to tnke liquor while on duty. If a man is known to be intox ioated when oil duty, he is liable to dis charge. In general those men have the preference who are reputed to be uon arinkers. OK the great civilized nations the United Kingdom heads tlio list in den sity of population, having illO inhabi tants to the square mile. Taking the three divisions of the kingdom separately, "the account stands thus: England and Wales, 402 to the square mile; Ireland, 147; Scotland, 135. The other great countries follow the United Kingdom in this order: Italy, 204 to the square mile; Germany, 221; France, 187; Austio Hungary,.lo7; Spain, 88; Russia in Eu rope, 42; the United States, 17. If the smaller civilized nations be taken into the account the United Kingdom loses Its primacy in this direction. Belgium has 520 inhabitants to the square mile, and the Netherlands 852. HKHK. is a pretty lively collection to have In one jail at the same time: Tho Cincinnati jail now contuins eight mur derers who are awaiting trial. They are: William Frey, for having shot and killed his nephew, Harry Strasscn, on August 20. while fooling with a gun; Charles White (colored), who fatally stabbed Bob Burley, another colored man, dur ing a quarrel, on the night of August 33; Henry Pritchard, for chopping off the heads of two colored men on the 28tli of last November; William Peebles, for stabbing to death Blatchford March, a popular young Cincinnati artist, on August 20; John Halin, who killed Jerry Day, a newspaper carrier, on the 9th of last August; Gustavo Raabe, who shot George G. Godeu, Sunday, August 84; William Mara, who three years ago killed Cocky Smith, and Ed. McCarthy, who killed Charles Hefferinan, August 38. ACCORDING to Loudon authority, those who make interesting calculations its to the future population of the globe should be cautious in dealing with existing rates of interest. The register-general returns for last year show that the multiplication of the people of England aud Wales has fallen off—that is, the excess of births over deaths was 307,224, the difference having steadily declined for the last, five years. According to the results of the last two census years, the increase in 1889 should have been 389,423, a number more than greater than the actual fact. The birth rate was unprecedent edly low, beingno less tlmu 2.5 per 1,000 below the average of the previous de cade. Meanwhile the marriage rate has responded to the increased prosperity of the country, except in certain portions where the population is interested in mining; and the death rate is slightly higher than in 1888, having risen from 17.8 to 17.9. This is, however, very low compared with a few years back. In deed, the registrar-general points out that there are now something like 000,000 people alive in England and Wales whose death would have been registered if the rate of mortality had continued as it was between 1871 and 1881. CURES BY HYPNOTISM. Two Remarkable Cases Reported by a German Doctor. Professor L. Hirt, of Breslau, has re cently effected two rather romarkable cures by means of hypnotism. Eckhard Klein, the twelve-year-old son of Privy Councillor Klein, in Breslau, had suffered since January, 1881), from a severe and painful cough. At first the fits of cough ing were comparatively infrequent. After six or seven months they came upon the boy daily, and were exceedingly violent. As winter approached they be came so exhausting that the boy could do no work of any kind, often lay in bed all day, breathed with the greatest difficulty, and often spit blood. Persons through out the neighborhood were kept awake nights by his paroxysms, and in the Klein household sleep was almost impos sible. Privy Councillor Klein resolved to take his ailing son to an Italian resort for consumptives, and incidentally men tioned his plan to Dr. Hirt, who asked whether hypnotism had been among the dozens of remedies already tried, and, having received a negative answer, offered his services. Privy Councillor Klein and his son went to Dr. Hirt's office the next day. The boy was weak, white and painfully thin. 44 1 hypnotized him by the usual method," writes Dr. Hirt. 44 Tlien I suggested to him that he had had a bad throat, but that it had just become well, and he would sleep soundly during the com ing night. I said this repeatedly, in a clear, decided tone, and rubbed and pressed gently the larynx as I spoke. 4 You cannot cough now, it is impossible,' I said finally. 'When you go to bed you will fall asleep at once, and will not wake up till morning. Do you understand?' 4 Yes,' he answered. 'You are entirely well, and you must say, 4 I am ontirely well.' He said it. I tapped him lightly on the forehead, and he awoke. That was last February 4. On the next day father and son came to me. 'He is all right,' said the father, 'and you need not treat him again.' The boy stayed at home, went to studying as usual, slept without any interruption, and in three months was thoroughly healthy and healthy looking." The other cure is described thus by Dr. Hirt: "Franz \Y., 18-year-old son of a widow in Schweiduitz, was brought to me on February 10. Since the preceding November he had been quite voiceless in consequence of a development of a hoarseness that had begun some weeks be fore. The examination of his throat re vealed no cause for the trouble, nor was the boy otherwise diseased. 1 then treated him according to the method of Mesmer-Bernheim. 1 brought him un der my inlluenco and told him his throat was all well. I j-aid to him decidedly several times that his lack of voice had been only imagination, and that he could speak us loudly as anyone. These sug gestions I accompanied with a stroking and slight kuealliug of the throat. After one vain effort he spoke a little. As he continued talking he gradually recovered his voice till, in three minutes, he was able to speak as clearly and as strongly as ever. The boy left the city the next day. A colleague in his native town tells me the cure was perfect and per manent." Youthful Travelers. A small boy, who did not appear to be over seven years of age, was the cyuosure of all eyes on board an Erie ferryboat from Jersey City a few mornings ago. He was in the charge of a railroad employe. Sewed on the back of the little fellow's jacket was a piece of heavy paper, on which was written "Victor Flaack, No. 550 First avenue, New York city." On the right sleeve of his coat was another piece of paper bearing the same inscrip tion, while a third was sewed to his cap. On his shirt bosom was firmly sewed a trunk tag. The little chap had traveled all alone from Los Angeles, Cal., and was bound for the home of friends in this city. He had been put on a train by his father, who had intrusted him to the con ductor, asking him to look after the boy. The man had discharged his trust, and at every change of cars to this city the con ductors passed the word to one another to keep an eye on the youthful traveler. The little fellow could not speak a word of English, and attempts to engage him j in conversation in French, German and Italian failed. He seemed happy and not nt all worried over his ramblings. Later in the day, speaking to an official at the Barge Office on the matter, ho said: "It is not at all an uncommon oc currence for small children to cross the ocean alone. Their parents consign them to the care of a stewardess on board the steamer, and they land hero right side up. Frequently on arriving here they have to be put on a train for the far West, where they go to meet their parents. They are surer to reach their destination safely than a great many of tho older people who pass through these gates. You sec, everybody on the steamer or car seems to feel that they have a particular responsibility attaching to them in look ing out for the safety and the comfort of these children. Thus the little ones aro well taken care of. The youngest child which has arrived here alone was a two year-old boy, who was landed just three weeks ago.—[New York Star. Beneath the Sea. During the last three years, Dr. 11. Fol has beeu making excursions into a region little frequented by man —that lying be neath the surface of the Mediterranean —and has gained a larger experience of a subaqueous existence than any other person has enjoyed. After a short time his diving dress became not at all dis agreeable, though he found it advisable not to continue a "dive" beyond a quar ter of an hour. He found a charm in the unfamiliar sights of the sea. and was able to make unexpectedly good natural his tory collections. He declares that the notion of walking upright is a false one, as it is necessary to incline the body for ward at least forty-five degrees. After the first few yards down all the light is so blue that even red objects cease to ap pear red. The limits of vision are greatly shortened, and at a depth of 100 feet it is possible to see in a horizontal direction only about twenty-feet under a clouded sky to perhaps eighty feet under the most favorable conditions. This difficulty of seeing through the water is mentioned as likely to prove a serious obstacle in the way of submarine navigation. A Combination of Fiddles. A new invention in musical instru ments has been brought ou by a German which is causing a good deal of interest. This is called a bowed piano, but is really a case resembling a pianoforte frame, and containing six violins, two violas and two violoncellos, the strings of which aro tuned to different notes. The instru ments are connected by circular bands, which are brought into contact with the strings by means of the keyboard, tho hammers of which bear upon the bands with varying pressure. Velvet saddles look ill on donkeys. j SALTED SUNFLOWER SEED. : They Play a Great Part in Russian j Life—A Big Field of Sunflowers. All Russia, writes Thomas Stevens in the New York World, nibbles salted sunflower seeds in its moments of leisure. Imagine half the citizens of the United States carrying, habitually, ! a supply of peanuts around in their pockets and nibbling them continual!/, and you have a hardly exaggerated idea of the übiquitous part played by the salted sunllower-scea in Russian life. In I the circus, in the theatre, in the offices, the shops, the tea-houses, the city streets, the village door-stoop, inen, women, girls, and boyß, peasants, nobles, merchants, soldiers, —everybody, everywhere, eats 1 salted suuflower-seeds. People who have seen the big sunflower as agarden ornament can have only a dim ' conception of the magnificent sight af forded by a forty-acre field of these gorgeous yellow blossoms. I first saw a field of them in the morning, when every big round goldon face, without an excep { tion in all myriads, was looking toward the east. The scene was striking, i and suggested a vast multitude of floral | Aztecs worshiping the morning sun. ' ! Not being aquaiuted with the habits of j 1 the sunflower I wondered all the morning whether all those worshipful faces would, in the evening, be turned towards tho I west. 8o I watched other fields as we rode along and learned, what every other ! reader of the World very likely knows already, that the sunflower always turns ! its face to the east. There was, I believe, a short time ago, 1 a (piostion regarding the propriety of choosing a National flower for the United States, and considerable sentiment was disclosed in favor of the sunflower. Could Americans see one of those broad fields in full and radiant blossom the sun flower undoubtedly would carry the day. The sunflower crop is one of the best j paying in Russia. A good crop is worth, ! as it stands in the field, 100 rubles a des siative, or about, twenty-five dollars an ! acre. The seeds are sold by the farmer for one and a half to two rubles a pood. Then the merchants salt them and retail i them for four rubles a pood, and at about ! every street croosing in Russian pro vincial cities are stands and peddlers with baskets, selling to the passers-by the salt ed product of the bigsuuflower. In the field the suuflowers are sowed in rows like the "drilled corn" of the Kausaa farmer, and, like corn, are cultivated and hilled up with shovel ploughs. The Doctor Did Not Say a Word. A prominent surgeon at a recent ban quet told the following story on a well known young physician who was present. Calling the attention of all present to the young man, he said: "I have a good joke on John. He had a very bail case of pneumonia which he had treated very well. His patient pulled along very well, and was finally nearly well. John told him so, but said that in three days ho would call again to see if anything fur ther was needed. In three days he called. His patient's brother met him at the door with a long face and said, 'I have sad news for you, doctor; brother is dead.' John stood there for a minute and thought, 'Well, how am I going to get out of this? I have got to let myself down easy.' Ho began to run over in j his mind all the causes that might pro- ' duce a sudden death, and finally decided on one that he thought would do. He said: 'Such things happen now and then. Sometimes one cause and sometimes an other brings it on. Now, I expect that with your brother a clot of blood sud denly formed in the heart und killed him.' He rattled this off and kept talk- j ing for several minutes without giving his listener time to say a word. He stood with his mouth open and gazed at the doctor as he fired technical terms at him. Finally, as John stopped to take a breath, he said in the most serious tone: 'No, | doctor, that ain't what killed brother. He went down to the canal and fell in and was drowned.' John did not say a word, but left, as the 'horse was on him,' and has never had the heart to send in j his bill."—[Louisville Commercial. A South American Beverage. I can testify from experience, says Fannie B. Ward in the Washington Star, that the civilized chicha of Peru and Bolivia, flic universal beverage of the lower classes, is good enough for any body. There are mauy ways of making it in different paits of South America. That most common in the two countries I above mentioned is from shelled corn, well washed and bruised, then tied up in j leaves and boiled ten or twelve hours until quite soft. This pulpy matter is then run through coarse sieves and put into barrels, which are filled up with water. Miehl (honey) or sugar-cane syrup is then added in varying degrees to suit the taste of the chicha maker, and after a few days of fermentation it is ready to drink. Another and perhaps more common method is to put the shelled corn, un cooked, into large, square holes dug in the ground not deeper than six or eight inches, the top and bottom being well covered with a layer of clean straw. Water is then poured on several times j every day aud iu the course of a week or j j two the corn begins to sprout. When I these shoots have grown about an inch long the corn is taken out, crushed be- j , tween stones, put into barrels and fer- j | men ted with water and honey as before. Chicha is not intoxicatiug unless taken in ino r dinate quantities, but is mildly ex hilarating, and among the poorer classes in a measure takes the place of food. It is the fashion among los ricos and the foreigners to treat one another to picante luncheon—meaning native dishes made very hot with peppers aud aji, cooled by goblets of chicha. Severe Seasons. Among facts collected by M. Villard, i of Valence, concerning unusual soasons I of Europe in past centuries, are the foi- 1 , lowing: The winter of 1282 was so mild that corn-flowers were sold in Paris in February, and new wine was drunk at Liege on August 24. In 1408 the cold was so severe that nearly all the Paris bridges were carried away by tho ice, ink froze in the pen near a fire, and the sea between Norway and Denmark was entirely covered with ice. The summers . of 1473 and 1474 were disastrously hot. In the winter of 1544-45 wine froze in I barrels all over France, and was sold in cakes by thq pound. The Rhone and nearly all other rivers froze in 1572-78 so that carriages might cross. In 1585 the winter was so mild that corn was in ear at Easter, but part of May was ex tremely cold. In an out-of-the-way corner of nn out of-the-way Boston graveyard stands a battered tombstone, bearing the follow ing epitaph: "Sacred to the memory of Eben Ilarvey, who departed this life sud denly and unexpectedly by a cow kick ing him onthe 14th of September, 1858. Well done, good and faithful servant." A Diminutive Millionaire. Jacob Seligman is the smallest million aire in the world. lie is hardly more than four feet high, and he strikes you comically as having just stepped out of a museum collection. Pardon me, but he will not be offended. Nobody gets mere fun out of his size, or rather want of size, than he does himself. Even when people, who intend to make him I feel good, remark that if he were stand ing on his money he would be as big as the late lamented Irish giant, he smiles and says, "My littleness is what made | me my money." And so it did truly, in a degree, at least. In fact, he realized the market value of his diminutive size so thoroughly that he had it copyrighted years ago. In the collection of quaint and curious trade-marks at Washington you can find his "Little Jake." He is reputed to be worth about $15,000,000. He came from Germany | when a boy, and went out to Michigan twenty-nine years ago without a dollar. ! He grew up with the country, and man ! ageu to seize a pretty big slice of it while the process was taking place. He owns a railroad, a private bunk, the greater part of a national bank, and only he knows what all besides. lie is giving himself entirely to this sort of thing nowadays. It was in a mercantile pur suit, however, that he got his big start. He ran eleven clothing stores at once at Saginaw. It was in that business that his own trade-mark, "Little Jake," did him so much good.—[Philadelphia Press. The World's Diamonds. The world's stock of diamonds has in creased enormously in the last fifteen years. In 187(1 the output of the African mines was about 1,500,000 carats, last year it was over 4,000,000, and the great "trust" which controls all the principal mines assert that they have 10,000,000 carats "in sight" at the present time. Meantime the demand for diamonds has wonderfully increased, and they arc higher to-day—partly because of the "trust," but also because of increased demands—than they were a year or two ago. In one respect the diamond indus try is different from almost all others. Its product—that is, of gems—is never "consumed." Of gold and silver a much larger amount than most people would believe is literally consumed in the urts past recovery, but a diamond once cut goes into the world's great stock, and it is liable to come upon the market at any time. Hence the world's annual taking of diamonds, which appears to be stead ily increasing, even at advancing prices, is an index of how much of its surplus earnings it can afford to spend yearly in this particular form of luxury. * The ro mance of diamond mining is all gone. It is now a matter of excavating vast beds of blue clay by machinery, washing it and sifting out the diamonds, which, after being roughly sorted for size, are sold in bulk by w eight. The men who do the actuiil work are mere laborers, and their pay is proportionately small.— [Boston Post. Do the Babies Remember P "My mother went to visit my grand father," writes a reader of the Racket, taking with her a little brother of mine who was eleven months old, and his nurse, who waited on her as a maid. One day this nurse brought the baby in to my mother's room and put him on the floor, which was carpeted all over. There he crept about and amused him self as he felt inclined. When my mother was dressed a certain ring that she generally wore was not to be found. Great search was made, but it was never produced, and the visit over they all went away and it was almost forgotten. "Exactly a year after they again went to visit the grandfather. This baby was now a year and eleven months old. The same nurse took him into the same room and my mother saw him, after looking about him, deliberately walk up to a cer tain corner, turn a bit of carpet back and produce the ring. He in r gave any account of the matter, nor uid he, so far I know, remember it afterward. It seems most likely that he found the ring on the floor and hid it, as in a safe place, under the corner of the brussels carpet where it was not nailed. He probably forgot nil about it until lie saw the place again, and he was far too infantile at the time it was missed to understand what the talk that went on was about, or to know what the search which, perhaps, he did not notice, was for." Cast Iron Bricks. What are termed hollow cast iron bricks form the subject of a recent Ger man patent described in the technical journals, the article being the invention of an Erfurt mechanic. As the name in dicates, they are made of regular brick form and size, the walls being 0.12 inches thick, but no mortar or other binding material is intended to enter in to their use, the method of fastening adopted being as follows: The upper and lower sides of the bricks are pro vided with grooves and protecting ribs, which lit into one another easily and per fectly, so as to make a uniform and com plete union or combination. There are in addition two large circu lar openings in the upper side of each brick, arranged to receive suitably formed projections on the lower side of the brick above, one of these projections being also hooked shape, thus securing a more secure hold; and in order that the joints be made and remain air and water tight, a fluid is applied to the surface of the bricks with a brush. The non-con ducting air spaces in the bricks, and the case with which they may be put to gether and taken apart without injuring them, are cited as special advantages in their favor as a substitute for ordinary bricks and brick construction.—[Chicago Journal of Commerce. Preservation of Harness. The best preservative of harness is occasional washing with warm water and saturation with some oily substance, by which the leather is preserved from the alternating damp ana dryness and from the destructive effects of the prevalent impure air of the stables. The harness should be taken apart and wiped with a sponge moistened with warm water and eastile soap. While damp it is then thoroughly dressed with a mixture of two parts of tallow and one part of castor oil, mixed when melted; to this is added sufficient lamp-black to restore the color to the leather. This is thoroughly rubbed into the harness with a bunch of oakum or a brush. The surplus is then removed by means of rubbing with a cloth. Fi nally castor oil with a small quantity of carbolic acid, to give it a perceptible odor, is rubbed into the leather as long as it will be absorbed. This preserves the harness from rats and mice, which are apt to gnaw it whore it has been moistened by the perspiration of the horses. It is a wise thing to have a close oloset in some convenient place to hang the harness in.—[New York Times. An Imprisoned Pish. The following was related in the Chat tanooga (TennJ News by one of its cor respondents residing near that city: "My cousin owns a watermill, and in removing some obstructions found an immense log imbedded in the stream which must have been submerged for a number of years. The log had to be cut in two to remove it, and much to our surprise we found it hollow, although it had every appearance of being solid. I One of the negroes while examining the log looked into the hollow and thought | he saw something moving. He began using his axe, and soon had the log cut into in another place. "Imagine our amazement when wedis -1 covered a live catfish which had grown I to an enormous size and length, and was so completely wedged in the hollow as to be unable to move except to open its | mouth and wiggle its tail. The fish was I very lively and apparently in the enjoy ment of excellent health. , 'The question is how did the fish get I into the log, as the only means of in gress or egress we could discover was a j small round hole not more than two in [ ches in diameter. We surmised that lie must have entered the little opening when no larger than a minnow, and grown great in his solitary confine ment." Statistics of Tornadoes. The tornado, with hardly an exeep- I tion, occurs in the afternoon, just after ! the hottest part of the day. The time of greatest frequency is from 3.30 to 5 o'clock. The tornado season includes March, April, May, June, July, August | aud September, but storms of this nature may occur in any pai t of the year. The ! months of greatest frequency, as deter | mined from a record of 208 years, are | April, May, June and July. The single month of greatest frequency is May, April following next in order. The State in which the greatest number of tornadoes has occurred is Missouri, followed next in order by Kansas and Georgia. A record of more than 500 tornadoes and "wind falls" (i. e,, paths of tornadoes through forests) in Wisconsin considerably ex ceeds the number from any other State, but little weight can be given this com parison owing to the want of thorough investigation of the subject of windfalls in other States. From a careful investi gation of the origin of tornadoes and their geographical distribution, there is every reason to believe that these storms were as frequent and violent 200 years | ago as now. Moreover, there appears to I be no cause for any uuusual change in the annual frequency of tornadoes for a like period to come.—[The Forum. The Tomb of Eve. At Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca, there is a tcmnle with a palm growing out of the soliu stone roof, which the Arabs assert marks the last resting-place of our common mother. Eve's tomb, in an in closure within the temple, surrounded by high white walls, is the shrine of thou sands of devoted Ishmaelites, who make a pilgrimage to the spot once every seven years. According to the Arabian le gends, on tho anniversary of the death of Abel, said to be June 3, the doors of the temple which forms a canopy over this supposed tomb of tho first woman remain open all night, in spite of the keeper's efforts to close them, and ter rible cries of anguish are said to issue from them, as if the memory of the first tragedy still haunted the remains which are supcrstitiously believed to be depos ited there. The Arabian tradition has it that Eve was over two hundred feet tall, which coincides, somewhat remark ably, with an account of the tenants of the Garden of Eden written by a member . of the French Academy of Sciences, a few years ago, who also estimated the first pair to have been over two hundred feet in height.—[Demorest. Substitute for Beef Tea. Dr. Ris, of- Kloteu, emphatically re commends pea sou]) as a most serviceable substitute for beef tea in the ease of in valids convalescents, and more especially for patiens suffering from canccv of the stomach, or diabetes mellitus. The method he devises is to take peas, water and a sufficient amount of some soil]) veg itables, add one half per cent, of carbon ate of soda, boiling the whole until the peas are completely disintegrated, the soup to stand until sedimentation is com plete, and finally decant the fairly clear, thin fluid above the deposit. The pro duct is stated to resemble a good meat souj) in its taste, to be at least equally di gestible, and at the same time, to surpass the very best meat soup in nutritive value. Dr. Ris states in his explanation that peas —as well as peas or lentils, either of which may be used instead of peas—con tain a considerable portion of iegumen, that is a vegetable albumen, easy soluble in a faintly akaline water, not eoagulated by heat, readily absorbed and equal to the albumen of egg in nutritiousness.
