It ia not difficult to understand why fried foods are so Indigestible if we take the trouble to study the physiology of digestion, says the Philadelphia Medical Journal. The proteids, which are the chief nutritive constituents of meat, oysters, fish and eggs, In order to, be digested and assimilated must be acted upon by the gastric or pancreatic juices, and before this can take place the layer of fat which has covered and permeated the morsel in frying must be This is accomplished by the process of emulsification, which means the expenditure of a large amount of digestive energy. The butter applied to broiled meats is far less pernicious, for not only la butter the most easily emulsified of the fats, but it Is not soaked in by tbe gradual heating, as is the case with most dried foods. The condition of the fried starchy foods, like potatoes, is very similar, for In order that tho starch may be changed Into assimilable grape sugar It must be acted upon by the amylopsin of the pancreatic juice. What can be done to lessen the fried food nuisance? Perhaps nothing so long as present conditions exist; so long as the highest Ideal of the people is to accumulate dollars rather than to develop and preserve healthy bodies which shall be the servants of healthy minds.

Yet if those who teach physiology in our public and other schools understood their subject and its practical applications as'they should, if there were more schools In which wholesome, economical cooking were taught as it should be, if physicians took every opportunity to Impress such facts of practical hygienic Importance as should there can be no doubt that by some sensible and well.informed people the fried abominations would be avoided. The Earth's Center. Of late years the general view has been that the Interior of the globe, though partly liquid, Is for the most part solid. Some, says Pearson's Weekly, have considered that a section through the earth would show the following: (1) An outer solid envelope, (2) a semifluid envelope, (3) a fluid envelope, (4) a semifluid envelope and (5) a solid nucleus. No.

1 results from a reduced temperature only; No. 2, from a pressure and temperature not quite sufficient for liquefaction; No. 3, from a temperature sufficiently high to produce complete liquefaction; No. 4, from a pressure so great as to prevent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which It works; No. 5, from a pressure which overcomes completely the liquefying power even of the maximum heat of the interior.

This pressure is estimated to be, at the center of the earth, 7,180,593,750 pounds to the square foot, a pressure so enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath it. Even hydrogen at the highest possible temperature would, under such conditions, become as hard as a diamond. Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum at the center of the earth, there is a mass of intensely solidified matter there. How Plants. That electric lights completely fool plant life has been proved.

A certain nurseryman who has an immense tract of land covered with greenhouses and hotbeds stumbled upon this fact in a curious way. He had noticed that all the bushes and plants which he had placed on the north side of his house did not thrive nearly so well as those on the south side, where they had sun all day long. One day. an electric lighting company put up a great arc light on the street corner at the north of his house. Result: In less than a year's time the plants on the north side became more luxuriant in growth than those on the south side.

The nurseryman, taking the hint, had a series of arc lights installed in all of his greenhouses and with great success. As an example of how useful this scheme may be: Last year Easter came rather early, and this man's stock of lilies was rather backward in budding, so he put In their greenhouse a double row of arc lights, keeping them burning all night, and so forced the growth that he had his plants ready for market ahead of many of his competitors. Fireproof Cloth. No elaborate statistics are necessary to prove that many fires might be prevented if carpets, curtains, draperies and clothing were noncombustible. This Is precisely what a firm of German manufacturers proposes to bring about.

After several years of experimenting they announce the discovery of a chemical treatment that will render any fabric of cotton, linen, wool or fiber fireproof. The process is cheap and adds but little to the weight of the article treated. It may readily be seen that this discovery will be valuable for securing the better safety of hotels by treating carpets', curtains and inside woodwork; of advantage 'for coverings of explosives, and in a multitude of other ways. It is not improbable a way may be found to make it waterproof. In any event it must be regarded as an important achievement and as opening, a prospect for the greater security of property.

The official statement of the Bank of Horton, which appears in this week's issue of the Leader, is weil worthy the careful perusal of every citizen in this part of the county. The statement is aa exposition of the rare confidence and esteem which our bank is so justly entitled to, and will command the attention of every careful depositor as to its superiority as a safe institution to do business with. "The running mates of both McKinley and Bryan four years ago have ceased to live," says the Salt Lake City Tribune. "Both were comparatively young men; both had ample fortunes; both were ready to take life easy; neither were troubled iby the cares that sap the lives of the less fortunate men, but both have finished their career. Mr.

Hobart died last winter. Mr. Sewall died Wednesday. Both were high representatives of the American business man; both were high-minded, accomplished men; both were public spirited men, and both were much loved by those who were drawn close to them. A Vice-President is chosen lest the President die.

The selec tions four years ago show that Vice-Presidents are quite as apt to die as Presidents are." Willis News. Frank Rodkey and Mon Define attended the minstrel show in Horton Thursday night. N. B. Hiett has sold his mill and elavator to J.

Mayor Pulton. Little Pimples Turn to Cancer. Cancer often results from an impurity in the blood, inherited from generations back. Few people are entirely free from some taint in the blood, and it is impossible to tell when it will break out in the form of dreaded Cancer. What has appeared to be a mere pimple or scratch has developed into the most malignant Cancer.

"I had a severe Cancer which was at first nly a few "blotches, that I thought would soon pass away. I was treated hy several able physicians, but in spite of their efforts the Cancer spread until my condition became alarming'. Alter many months oi treatment and growing steadily worse.

Li: We iKi: COLU These vehicles are the best MB IA" The total eclipse of the sun on May 28, Instead of passing over the sparsely settled regions of the world, will cross the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia," South Carolina and North Carolina and will even touch Virginia, says The Scientific American. The track of totality begins on the Pa cific ocean just west of Mexico, enters the United States near New Orleans and passes In a northeasterly direction until It reaches the sea at Norfolk and Cape Henry. Its path then crosses the Atlantic ocean and touches Portugal, Algiers and north Africa and will ter minate near the northern end of the PATH OF THE TOTAL ECLIPSE. Red sea.

The eclipse will last 1 minute and 12 seconds near New Orleans and 1 minute and 40 seconds near Norfolk. It. Is probable that large numbers of people will take the railroads to points where the eclipse can be seen. A num ber of experimental stations will be established by the government along the path of the eclipse. The necessary ap paratus is now being gathered and ar ranged, and men specially adapted for the work are being engaged and are trained.

Congress has allowed $5,000 to the naval observatory and $4,000 to the Smithsonian institution for this purpose. The naval observatory will send out two expeditions. They will probably Jbe located in North Carolina and Georgia, 200 miles apart. The weather bureau is collecting data of the weather conditions in past years in the month of May for the localities along the line of totality. So far they show there Is less chance of cloudiness In central Georgia and eastern Ala bama, and this is, therefore, the best region for locating the eclipse stations.

The stations will be occupied two or three weeks before the eclipse, and the part which each man will take will be thoroughly rehearsed. It is very imperative to make no mistakes during the minute and a half when observations can be made. The Smithsonian institution officers will be under Professor S. P. Langley, those of Princeton university under Professor Young, those of the Universi ty of Pennsylvania under Professor Stone, and the Yerkes observatory will conduct the expedition with Professor Hale at its head.

Nearly every college and scientific institution in the country will be represented, and probably 100 expeditions will observe the eclipse in the path of totality in addition to large numbers of scientific amateurs who will make extended observations. Nature's Protest. Scientific men are now telling us of the depredations of parasites that live In the soil. They are a form of fungi and attack vegetables. Melon growing has been abandoned in certain portions of the south because of them.

Cotton growers in certain portions of the south have been driven out of business by them. The fungi get into the water ducts of the plant and kill it. A cross section of the stem of a plant under the microscope shows a stuffing like white cotton. These white threads soon pack the ducts solid or choke the plant. No remedy has yet been found, but it has been observed that the fungi prosper in land where there has been no rotation of crops.

They live in plants in a dry state over winter, and when fed to cattle and they reappear from the barnyard they are carried back to the land to repeat their evil work. Rotation of crops is the only remedy. It is a protest of nature against tiring the soil with the same crop year after year. Sermons ly Telephone. The First Baptist tabernacle of Cincinnati Is to be connected by telephone with such of its members as desire to hear the sermon and service without leaving their homes.

A transmitter has been placed in front ofthe pulpit, and the Citizens' Telephone company will put the instruments of subscribing church members in connection with it, The pastor of this church, the Rev. Dr. Barbour, some time ago had a transmitter in his pulpit which was connected with the private line of an elderly lady who was, unable to leave her home to attend church. This arrangement worked satisfactorily for nearly four months. Briclcs Are Blag nets.

An article in The Physical Review gives the result of interesting experiments showing that ordinary bricks possess a considerable degree of magnetism. The magnetic quality is supposed to be due to the presence of iron oxide in the clay, since the degree of magnetism seems to vary, with the proportion of that substance revealed in the brick.
