riage, which took place in Philadelphia
in 1870 at the home of the defendants,
and in 1871 plaintiff and his wife re-
moved to Belle Plaine, followed shortly
afterward by defendants, who remained
permanently with them. Things Went
on smoothly for time till up to July II,
1873, when the defendants and their
daughter lett Belle Plaine unknown to
the plaintiff, and ever since his wife re-
fuses to live with him. Defend
ants claim that their daughter
was subject to harsh treat
ment, and, she (the daughter) did not
want to live with him any longer; while
plaintiff claims that defendants are re-
sponsible for the whole matter. The
case Is a peculiar and in many respects
one of the most extraordinary that ever
came before a court Of law. This after

1t hard within go days, when the im-
mense tube will be ready for use.
1t Is estimated that the piston
carriages to be driven through may be
made to travel at the rate Of two hun.
dred miles per hour, and that the whole
distance of 1862 miles may thus be made
in less than ten hours.
There are some apparent difficulties in
the way which would seem to render
the success of the enterprise doubtful.
A single indentation in the newly laid
pipe, or single angle, must make the
whole failure, as the carriages must
run tightly in order that the pneumatic
pressure upon them may be sufficient.
However, there are no difficulties pre-
sented which seem more unsurmounta-
bic than did those held up before the
originators Of passenger railways or the
Atlantic cable scheme, and it may be
that the plan will be even more readily
made practicable than have those. AT
any rate it is probable that the effort

short time, and judging from the names
connected with the enterprise, it is not
likely to be given up without thorough
practical test and an earnest effort to
make the plan succeed.
The effects of the enterprise, If sue
cessful, will be almost inconceivable. 1t
would prove a somewhat formidable
rival to the .e.egraph, not destroying its
business but lessening it very materially.
1t would strengthen the traffic Of the two
countries by facilitating the means of
rapid and full communication, and
would have material effect in bringing
this country and Europe Into closer re-
lations. With the facility OF sending
packages of this size in ten hours at the
rate of several thousand per hour, the
amount of matter which might be thus
transmitted Is very great. Should the
experiment prove successful 1t will lead
to the laying oflarger lines with capacity |
for larger articles, and will fairly open |
the way to the vast unexplored field of
pneumatics which is destined in time to |
be a fruitful one. Should 1t be successful |
it would be fitting enterprise with
which to close the first century of our
national existence and open the second.

The Origin OF the Cheese Factory System

Inc origin OF the Cheese Factory system
1t has, think, been generally accept
ed as fact that the "Cheese Factory
system" had its birth and origin in the
United States. That the system first
took root there and first became a vast
branch of industry, no one questions, but
think the following rather precludes
the idea Of your claim to originality in
the matter.
CHANGING to spend night in small
country tavern in Western Canada, l
took up an old agricultural work, dated
1888, just forty years ago. turned to
an article ON cheese-making, and after
a long description of the most approved
methods OF dairy cheese-making, it pro-
ceeded with the following on Parmesian
cheese, fancy Italian cfeese:
"The weight of these cheese varies
from so to 1SO pounds. 1t consequently
requires a great number of COWS to pro-
duce one Of even the smallest weight,
and as the farms in the territory are not
large, it is usual for the dairy -men to
club together, the person upon whom
devOlves the duty Of making the cheese
keeping an accurate account of milk re-
ceived and after deducting the charge OF
manufacture apportionlng the product
OF the sale accordingly"
The writer goes on TO add: "This eus-
tom is very commonly adopted by the
small farmers of Switzerland" and a i.
ter ailating upon the advantages OF the
system he refers you to French pamph-
let on the subject by III. Charles SULTAN !,
entitled "Rural Associations for the
Manufacture of Milk." have ne means
of ascertaining how long prior to 1885
this "factory system" was In vogue, bat
as the peculiar cheese in question has
had q celebrity from time immemorrai, !,
1t is fair to suppose that it existed long
previously.-COr. Utica Herald.
