- SID MOULAY, THE TALIB Translated by WILLIAM L. McPHERSON, N the sloomy forest of Bouyaya, one:of the oldest in Morocco, lived & poor woodcutter and his family. The winter was severe. The wood was soaked, and life was bard Sid Moulay said to his wife ©one morning: “Do you know, wife, that we are golng to test the proverb: ‘If you change, you gain’? We are ‘golng to leave this place at once and go wher- ever God directs our steps.” Bou-zemzem answered: “Husband, you are mad.

Sid Moulay blessed the saying which recommends ynen to change and gain, for, by Allah, he would soon be rich without doing anything. One morning he saw a negress proaching. She had an enormous fig- ure and was dressed In red silk. When she reached his side she was breath- jess, her chesks were dripping per- piration, and her blood-shot eyes vere almost popping out of her head.

Once ni the presence of the sultan and a throng of notables, he asked to have a little incense burner brought in. He lighted the incense, turned over seven or eight pages of the kitab, murmured prayers which nobody understood, and then arose and sald to the audience: “Follow me to the sultan’s poultry ard.” Curiosity ran high. The spectators held their breath. 8l Moulay looked calmly around the poultry yard, and soon recognized the goose which had a tiny red rib- bon about its foot. He cried ou “There he is, the robber!

Tremblingly they laid at his feet a bag of eequins—the savings of a life- time—and withdrew with additional supplications. The next day the whole oity was | gathered to wonder at the super- human art with which the talib, Sid Moulay—may God bless him—would discover the hiding place of the sul tan's treasure. The countryside was black with people. The sorcerer, fol- lowed by the sultan and his vizlers, walked & certaln distance from the marabout. He halted before the blue- colored stone, which he recognized, read in the big kitab, offered some prayers and mado some cabalistic gestures over the incense box. Then he turned to some men who were waiting with shovels in thair hands. “Dig here,” he ordered. About two feet below the surfact the sultan’s treasure was uncovered. The throng acclaimed Sid Moulay.

Nymphs of the terpsichore shall bathe in the resources of their own billowy rhythm, They shall not sail on the stormy seas of syncopation. Neither shall they ascend the heights of a Strauss Waltz or a Chopin prelude. The modern ballet with music is a horror to Mme. Yvonne, and all Paris is finding it out whether or not our own terpsichorean colony wish to coutenance or disbelieve. Paris is making a vogue of the silent dance. Some call Mme. Vvonne a ‘“‘crank. Mehbe so. Of couyrse, “cranks” rn;‘; they happen to be cranky on the right thing and their crankiness becomes popular, then they become great dis- coverers, modernists, individualists, geniuses, Arguments in favor of the eflent dance might be worked out through metaphysics on even the laws of every-day mathematical and unimagi- native physics. Everything in nature has {ts own rhythm—even unto a sea- sick man leaning against the taffrail nature has her own inexorable, in- domitable rhythms. If the dancer listens may he not find his music in his own soul and hear that instinctive music which comes to him who listens to the in- ner self? But in the event of the silent dance becoming _internationally _popular, what is going to happen to the dance fairies of Indla and Egypt and Con- stantinople and the American dra- matic_school? And where shall we put the “Dance of the Hours” and Delibes' and Strauss’ waltzes, etc. —— Borrowed.

At times Dr. Jones has had as many as 250 of the pale rodents under obser- vation. Probably as a precaution against precipitation of a wholesale scare among the feminine employes of the bureau, should their proximity to these scores of rats be known, he has housed the animals in sort of a barn, or garage, fronting on an alley in the rear of the chemisiry building. There may be seen rats in all stages of growth and in all conditions of health, varying with age, sex, dleting, etc. Dr. Jones concerns himself with the study of proteins and their com- parative nutritive values, with a view to recommending to farmers of the oountry the proper feeds and propor- tions thereof necessary to the healthy growth of such barn; animals as pigs, cattle, sheep and horses. Dr. Jones pointed out a particularly disreputable specimen of rat—in ly broken, in spirit dejected and in furry covering decidedly not de trop. “This fellow,” explained the ist, “has been deprived of aystine.” It was easy enough for the writer to see that.the deprivation had hurt the rat's feeling: He looked as if his last friend been the victim of feline outrages. Dr. Jones pointed to neighboring cage. “This one was given a certain per- centage of cystine in his food,” he sald. The favored rodent indicated was the picture of young rathood. He was fat, sleek and capriclous. Most noticeable of all, he was possessed of a thick coat of rat fur, and intelli- , the blond prince of proceeded to empha- | constjtuents. ment as the much-heralded vitamines, the starch, the salt, fat and other food Some proteins ure more nutritive than others, as proved in the tests with bean proteins and peanut protein; He picked up a pamphlet published by the bureau recently and “A great advance was made in our knowledge of the principles of nutri- tion when it was shown that the nutritive value of proteins depends on the relative proportions of cer- tain amino-acids in the protein mole- cule. Numerous experiments have demonstrated that the withdrawal or addition of certain amino-acids ren- ders diets deficient or makes them complete for normal growth. It is well known that proteins which lack either lysine or tryptophune fail to promote the growth of animals. It has also been established that certain other amino-acids are necessary for maintenance and growth, und that some of the amino-acids usually found In proteins are not essential. 'Osborne and Mendel found that rats fed on raw navy bean meal de- clined rapldly in weight and soon died. When the bean meal was cooked slight growth was obtained for some time. Baked beans showed no greater efficlency than cooked bean meal. We found that cooked navy bean meal, supplemented with crystine equivalent to 2 per cent of its protein, produced normal growth. ‘This diet contained butter fat to fur- nish fat-soluble vitamines. The salts were furnished by an artificlal salt mixture and the beans supplied suffi- clent water soluble vitamine.’ The summary of this pamphlet was as follows: ‘1. Cystine has been shown to be ential for normal growth. '2. Phaseolin, the principal protein of the navy bean, i{s rendered a more efficlent food by heating with water. beans to eat, with dire results. “How about cystine's effect on r?” Dr. Jones was asked. “Our experiments with rats have shown us that cystine apparently en- courages the growth of fur on the rats. As a matter of fact, wool, hair and fur have been found to consist largely of this acid, and the easiest way for us to {solate cystine is by treating sheeps’ wool with hydro- chloric acid and subjecting the re- sultant mixture to a number of com- plicated chemical processes.’ The chemist pointed to a mass of glassware, comprising retorts, tubing, Dbottles, funnels and other labor- atory utensilg, all connected in 2 seem ingly haphazard fashion with short leces of rubber tubing. A Bunsen rner was burning under the retort, which was partly fllled with a darl looking paste, not unlike shoe polish. The first step in the process, he said, was to separate the protein from the foreign matter contained in the retort and the second step was the isoiation of the cystine. Dr. Jones picked a vial, two inches tall, from a row on a shelf above his desk, The vial was half full of 2 white powder resembiing powdered sugar. The powder was the precious cystine itself. There was about a hundred dollars' worth in the vial. The other vials con- | tained various the form of crystals, | most cases, as in that of cystine, being 80 small that to the cye they appeared as a powder. ) B The fact that the cystine exhibited ‘was obtained from sheep’s wool led the reporter to inquire of the possibilities from a woolgrower’s standpoint of see- ing that sheep received an appropriate amount of this acid in their food. Dr Jones sald that this phase of the use of Ccystine had not been worked out, but he indicated that it was reasonable to assume that the result would be bene- ficial.
