How Condensed Milk is Made.

The manufacture of condensed milk
is thus described in the Scientific Ameri-
can: When the milk is brought into
the factory it is carefully strained,
placed in cans or pals, which are put
into a tank of water kept hot by steam
coils. When hot it Is transferred to
larger steam-heated open vessels and
quickly brought to a boil. This pre-
liminarv heating and boiling has for It's
object the expulsion of the gases of the
milk which would cause it to foam in
the vacuum pan, and also to add to the
keeping quality of the milk by destroy
ing the mold germs. A second str i'm
ing follows, after which the milk is
transferred to vacuum pan, where, at
a temperature below $50 degrees Fab
renheit, it boils and is rapidly coneen-
trated to any degree desired. The
vacuum pan employed is a close vessel
of copper, egg shaped, about six feet
high and four and one-half feet in di-
ameter. 1t is heated by steam coils
within, and by steam, jacket without,
-inclosing the lower portion. In one
side of the dome is d small window
through which gas Eliminates the in
terror, while on the opposite side is an
eyeglass through which the condition
Of the contents may be observed. The
pan is also provided with a vacuum
guage and test sticks.
Much Of the milk used in cries is
simply concentrated without an, addi-
ton of sugar. The process of concern
tration is continued in the vacuum pan
until one gallon Of the milk has been
reduced to little less than a Quart
one volume of condensed milk cor
responding to about -four and three
tenths volumes of milk Condensed
milk intended TO be preserved for any
length of time has an addition Of pure
cane sugar made to it during the boil
ing, and Is usually put up in sealed
cans. This sugared or preserved
milk, when properly prepared, will
keep for many years.

romantic history which will be familiar

Lieutenant, is still living in New York,

tuted many inquiries relative to the
son spoken of. with a view to caring
for and educating him, but all trace of
him was lost, or his dusky relatives
preferred to keep him with themselves.

The Prince of Wales and His Mamma.
New ork Sun.

In Europe, as you know, royalties
are nearly all related When one dies
all the rest go into mourning and sus-
pend pleasure. A common result of
this is a little passage of arms between
the queen and the prince Of Wales at
this moment. The duke of Sake
Coburg died two or three days ago,
Just when the Goodwood races were in
full swing, and when the prince Of
Wales was enjoying himself very much
indeed at the mansion of the duke of
Richmond. Instantly the queen tele-
graphed to the prince desiring him to
return to London. The prince sent
back word that he could weep just as
freely for the departed second cousin
ut Goodwood as in Marlborough house.
The queen insisted on his going to
the races. The prince replied that he
must, whereupon the queen, in great
rage, telegraphed positive orders to the
duke of Richmond not to allow any
dancing at Goodwood house during the
races. Thus the prince goes to the
races in the daytime, but has to CON
tent himself without tripping the par
tlcularly light and fantastic toe, which
he loves to WELD when any fair danes
are about. | now hear that he will go
to Cowes next week, but the newspa-
pers have been asked not to allude to
his presence, as he intends to be at the
regatta almost incognito. The queen,
too, being at Osborne, would be trife
too handy for him, and he would in all
probability find that merry making at
Cowes was followed by little enforced
penitenceat Osborne. The prince
evidently has lost none of his origins al
dread of his august mothers anger.

A WagOn-LOad of Flying Lovers from
Kane County, Ill.

The old fashioned prairie schooner,
with its broad stretch of tarpaulin and
with It's band of tire, is no longer
familiar sight upon the streets. The
stream of immigration flows westward
now along the railroads, and the old
wagon when it travels now generally
seeks a more northern route This
morning, however, one of these arks
rolled heavily over the bridge, drawn
by two tired-looking mules, and deco
rated with all manner of household
movables. 1t was just such wagon
as the gold fever of 1919 sent lumber
ing across the plains TO the Pacific
coast. And as il drew up on Washing
ton avenue Just west of sixth street,
reporter tackled the long, sallow,
emaciated-looking man who uI.coiled
himself from about the front seat
much as the garden hose is run off the
reel, and demanded of him what
cheer.
''Umh?" said he interrogatively,
while woman's head decorated with
4 red bandana kerchief prOtruded past
the flap OF the canvas and eyed the
scribe suspiciously

You seem to have good deal of
family, continued the wandering Peri,
referring to the menagerie-like sounds
issuing from beneath the tarpaulin,
which indicated diversity of opinion
between several war-like children. The
woman's head went back beneath the
cover, something like the terrapin's
when his attention is attracted to his
tail. Resonant applicants of a female
palm to exposed human cuticle fol-
lowed, and sobbing and grief took the
place of war

An Invention Destined to Supercedc
Rowing
Auburn az. ~ Advertiser.

An Auburn inventor has patented a
device for propelling boats which
promises to entirely revolutionize the
present laborious method of rowing,
and which will be hailed with delight
by the young man who has to take his
best girl and his portIy prospective
mother-in-iaw out rowing several even
ings in each week Those who do not
have to row may dilate upon the seen
cry of the outlet and the beauties of a
life on the ocean wave" as much as
they please, but the fatigued and per-
spring young man mentally says he
would prefer saving cord of wood 70
rowing many miles farther.
The new mechanical movement of
which we wish to speak in this article
will agreeably diminish. if not entirely
obviate, nearly all the sorrows of the
amateur oarsman. The inventor Is
Mr.. Henry y Stats, of this city, and
the design of his appliance is to render
practicable the use of a screw propel-
Ter upon small boats. The invention
can be applied to any row boat, and
consists simply of a propeller-shaft
which projects through the stern of the
boat and has secured TO It's end screw
propeller, which, by the rotation of the
shaft by hand power applied to dou-
ble-crank, ca1ses the boat TO move for
ward with greater or less speed, gov
erned by the rapidity of the revolutions.
The work is not nearly so tiresome
as rowing, and with the same amount
of power expended the speed attained
is far greater. The advantages of the
propeller are numerous and must be
conceded. One Is that the person faces
the direction he Is going instead of
riding backward as in rowing, and can
steer the craft himself by means of
stirrups attached TO q gear also invent
ed by Mr.. Stats. In duck hunting
you can noiselessly approach the feed
ing ground and see where you are
going. In trawling this method is also
far superior TO iaborious rowing.
Two, or even more persons can work
at the handles, and by simple change
of pin the handles can be worked In
either direction, which Is often great

How They Balanced the Scales Of Jus

Gen. kittrell, W. W. Bishop. Sine
