Dr. George White Classes Poods as

' "How to get fat or thin" .(was told
by Dr. George White In a lecture at
the Harvard Medical School. Among
other things, he said: i' .
' "Some persons you could never
make thin unless you could change
their character. Ordinarily the super
vision, of a physician Is necessary to
prevent mistakes and for encourage-,
ment and dlsclplln& ' . . ; -
"It is 'not safe to lose more than
two pounds a week or twenty pounds
in three months. ' It you hsve more
than this to lose, say fifty pounds,
then It Is better to bring IU loss about
lntermlttenly. . , ' '.
"It doesn't mean starvation, or
necessarily less food, but a choice of
new foods; for Instance, replacing of
roast beef by chicken, ' thickened
soups by clear soups. Foods may be
roughly divided Into three classes,
strong, medium and light, according
to their value. . : . -
'The strong foods are olive oil,
butternuts,, chocolate, cheese, sugar
cake. Ice cream,, roast beef, bam, pork
chops, bacon, gravies, cream, pandy,
puddings, peas, cereals,' . macaroni,
bread, figs and dates. . , . ,
."Foods of madlum fat value are
cream soups, thickened soups,' fowl
beef round, veal, eggs, salmon, sbad,
mackerel, liallbut, beans, grapes and
bananas. .
"The light foods are milk, butter
milk, clear soups, beef tea, broiled
chicken, perch, cod, oysters, lobster,
potatoes, . beets, green peas, radish,
cabbage, celery, lettuce spinach, ap
ples, peaches, cherries, oranges and

Theatre Folk Are Superstitious. '
. Theatrical people, says a writer In
success Magazine, are proverbially
superstitious. - I know of one great
actress who never goes on the stags
without first crossing herself to. in
sure good luck. Some of our greatest
stars would perhaps retire from the
Stage if they should lose the horse
shoe which is nailed to the ltd on one
of their trunks, and could not get an
other, " Mrs. Leslie Carter always, raps
three times on the wings before walk
Ing on the stage, and she thinks this
precaution Will banish all evil' influ-"
eaces. , When Mary Anderson was on
the stage she -never, dared to peep1
through the curtain while the house
was filling. Many theatrical people
constantly carry around with them for
luck "the left hind foot of a graveyard
rabbit killed by the light of the
moon." ". J

to a satisfactory sURe he made up a

Uls kind the new oil Md only slowly
and In very small quantities, which
were chiefly trial samples. The oil
maker, like many kSer tnrentora,
finally became disheartened, gave up
hla business and soon died penniless.
- "He owed about $000 to bis book
keeper, who having nothing else- to
satisfy his claims took possession of
whatever oil he could -find. He final
ly disposed of It to Willard, the old
maker of so-called banjo clocks of
Boston, and Willard after keeping it
for a long time Induced Frodsham,
the famous chronometer - maker of
London, to test it on some of his fine
chronometers, which were noted all
over the world for their precision and
accuracy. v. ' '-
"In fitting up aome ships' chrono
meters for the Arctic regions' this oil
was used as a lubricator. The ves
sels were gone for several years. Dur
ing all that time the chronometers
gave complete satisfaction. When
the ships returned;- to London , the
watchmakers were amazed at the re
sults obtained, the oil being appar
ently as fresh as when It was applied.
"At 'about the. same time , the oil
was used on the chronometers of
ships bound for India ami other tropi
cal climates, and the results were just
as satisfactory as when the chrono
meters were taken to the far north.
The London manufacturers tried to
secure more of the oil, but Willard,'
who had all that was ever made of it
refused to sell. Moreover tt was Im
possible to make more of the oil, as
the secret . of Its manufacture bad
died with the Inventor, -
"Willard upon retiring from busi
ness gave all that was . left of the
precious oil to an old apprentice, who,
fully appreciating the value of an oil
that would withstand all climates and
perform- all conditions, divided It up
for safety Into four equal parte and
these were stored In . four different
places In the city. V. '
"At the time of the great fire In
Boston three of these portions of the
oil were destroyed and the fourth por
tion, which made just about one quart
waa sold for $200 to the biggest watch
concern in America; ' i , 'f,-- i: ;

bone and gave It to carpenters and
others who used oil stones for sharp
ening their tools. Since It did not

was flnlly sugested that tt waa ' Just

member of the Swedish international
polar expedition of 1882 and 1883. and
an aeronaut of considerable skill. He
bad bis own ideas about reaching the
goal of the ages. He bad observed
that at certain seasons ot the year a
steady current of air flowed toward
the north pole.. What could be easier,
argued Andree, than for a well equip
ped balloon to set sail la this current
of air, float over the pole, descend,
take observations, and then float away
agUn to carry the word to a waiting
world.. .
Ccrerate as appeared the undor

A favorable breeze was awaited. At

upward. Suddenly, tor some reason
never known, it dropped rapidly al
n.ost to the surface of the sea. Bal

Founds of Steel Projectiles
GBEAT POWERS OF EXECUTION
America Has a Fleet with Potentiali
ties of Destruction So Wonderful
that Only Figures Can Tell the
True Story of Its Greatness.
Had some ordnance expert told
David Glasgow Faragut, the greatest
of American Admirals, that some day
this nation would own a single fleet of
battle ships which could, if the oc
casion ever came, fire a broadside of
steel projectiles weighing more than
ninety thousand pounds, and could do
this not once but four and perhaps six
times a minute, it Is quite certain
that the great naval commander would
have considered the prophet a dream
er. - . ' ;
Tet this Is exactly what the reor
ganized Atlantic fleet will be able to
do when the - battleships of the
Dreadnought type, recently commis
sioned, become fighting units in the
great armada.
Every American who keeps up with
the times knows that the Atlantio
fleet Is an organization ot sixteen
flrstrclasa battleships and knows how
most of those battleships look. ' He
knows that the Connecticut has three
and tbe Mississippi two funnels, that
most of the sixteen have tbe new
fangled sptderweb masts and that the
fleet is divided into units of four for
purposes of command.
All this, as a rule,' is known ' to
the man In the stseet Yet it is doubt
ful If one person In one hundred In
this country knows that this fleet
tbe backbone of the service afloat
carries eighty-four 12-lnch guns in its
main batteries and that every projec
tile as It leaves one ot these guns '
means that 200 pounds of smokeless
powder, costing about $225, haa been
used np. And every one of these 12
Inch guns figures In the Atlantic fleet's
broadside, both port and starboard. '
-' A little mathematics will prove
that if ever this avalanche of steel Is
hurled against a hostile fleet it will
mean the instantaneous explosion of
more than 25,000 pounds of smokeless
powder that at wholesale had cost the
government approximately $20,000,
and that the weight ot the 12-lnch
projectiles hurled at the enemy total
ed more than 71,000 pounds. If the
eight seven and six Inch guns that
can be used in the broadside were
also fired at the same time, It would
mean the flight of more than 115,000
pounds ot steel,- the cost of the pow
der that expelled it from the guns ag
gregating nearly $24,000.
, Now for the story that figures telL
' First, of course, to be considered
must be the giant new Dreadnoughts
Delaware and North Dakota, the
newest of American battleships. Prac
tically the whole offensive power of
these mighty vessels rests with their
main batteries of ten 12-lnch guns,
batteries that are Just two and one
half times as great as that ot the ves
sels of the Connecticut Class, and only
a few iears ago the Connecticut was
considered the most powerful battle
ship afloat 'i.', v -' ..-:; .''.'''."!
- A broadside from one ' of these
ships weighs 8,500 pounds, end every
time' this hall of steel Is discharged
It will necessitate the burning up of
three thousand pounds of 'the finest
smokeless powder; costing $2,250. The
two Dreadnoughts of this type there
fore furnished as their quota of the
offensive power of the fleet a broad
side of twelve-Inch projectiles weigh-"
lng 17,000 pounds, a- broadside that
can be repeatedly where jfrom two ,
to six times evetyinina'te, j "' .'
. Next In importance, come the Michi
gan and South Carolina, each of four
thousand tons less displacement than
the North Dakota " and Delaware.
They, too, depend entirely upon guns
of the twelve-Inch type, each of them
carrying eight, and as In the case of
the larger ships all of these guns are
so placed that they can be used In
broadside. A : broadside Jfrom - the
Michigan and South Carolina will
weigh 13,600 pounds. t ' K '
, After the Michigan and South Caro
lina are ranked the ships that belong
to the Connecticut class. These six
are the Connecticut, Kansas, Louisi
ana,. Vermont New Hampshire and
Minnesota.-; Each carries four twelve
Inch, eight eight-inch and twelve seven-Inch
guns. -
