Milk az a Food.

Again, milk is food which should
not be taken In copious draughts like
beer or other fluids which differ from
It chemically, II we consider the use
Of milk In infancy, the physiological
ingestion, that Is. Of II, we find that the
sucking babe imbibes little tho natural
food provided for it. Each small
mouthful is secured by effort, and
slowly presented to tho gastric mucous
surface for the primal digestive stages.
IL Is thus regularly and gradually re-
duced to curd, and the stomach is not
oppressed with lump Of half-coagu-
lated milk The same principle should
be regarded in the case OF the adult
Milk should be slowly taken in mouth
fuls, at short intervals. and thus IL il
rightly dealt with by the gastric juice.
II milk DO taken after other food II Is
almost sure 10 burden the stomach and
TO cause discomfort and prolonged In
digestion, and this for the obvious rea-
son that there is insufficient digestive
agency 10 dispose OF IT, And the better
the quality of milk the more severe the
discon,forts will be under these condi-
tons. Milk is insuIliciently used In
making simple buildings Of such fari-
naceous food as rice, tapioca and sage.
Distaste for these is ongendered very
often, / believe, because the milk Is
stintod in making them, or poor, skim
med milk Is used. Abundance Of new
milk should DO employed, and more
milk or cream should be added when
they are taken. In Scottish households
this matter Is well understood, and a
distinct pudding-plate, like q small
soup-plato is used for this course. The
dry masses commonly served as milky
buildings In England are exactly fitted
to create disgust for what should be a
most excellent and delicious part Of
wholesome dinner Tor both children
and adults. - Popular Science Monthly

An Explanation.

The reason why snow at great eleva.
tons does not melt. but remains perma-
nent is owing to the fact that the heat
received from the sun is thrown off into
the stellar space so rapidly by radiation
and reflection, that tie sun fails to raise
the temperature of the snow to the melt
ing point The snow eVaporates, but it
does not melt The SUBMITS of the
Himalayas, for instance, must receive
more than ten times the amount OF heat
necessary to melt all the snow that falls
on them, Notwithstanding which the
snow is not melted. And in spite of the
strength OF the sun and the dryness of
the air OF those attitudes, evaporation Is
sufficient to remove the snow.
At low elevations, where the snow
fall is probably greater, and the amount
of heat even less than at the SUBMITS,
the snow melts and disappears. This
we must attribute 20 the influence of
aqueous vapor. At high elevations the
air is dry, and allows the heat radiated
from the snow to pass into space /; bat at
low elevations a very considerable por-
ton of the heat radiated from the snow
is absorbed in passing through the at
mosphere. A considerable portion of
the heat thus absorbed by the vapor i
radiated back on the snow but tie heat
thus radiated, being Of the same quality
as that which the snow itself radia5es, is
on this account absorbed by the snow.
Little or none of it is reflected, like that
received from the sun. The conse-
quence is, that the heat thus absorbed
accumulates in the snow till melting
takes place. Were the aqueous yapor
possessed by the atmosphere sufficiently
diminished, perpetual snow would cover
our globe down to the seashore. 1t is
true that the air is warmer at the lower
! level than at the higher level, and by
contact with the snow must tend to melt
| it more at the former than at the latter
position. But we must remember that
the air is warmer mainlyin consequence
Of the influence of aqueous vapor, and
that were the quantity of vapor reduced
to the amount in question, the differ
ence of temperature at the two positions
would not be great.

it may appear. These queer little sub
terranean worms are about three,Quar

At his forward end appears a Vicious

capable of being easily folded when he
draws back into his sheR. On top of his
head is small helmet or cover, of the

his top piece or helmet just closes the

easy Of explanation. Their presence can
be accounted for on the score of some
deep crack or disturbance of the eartl

there and what supports them Is mys
terry, for the clay is no way rich, though
it ii wcrmy. They certainly are great

From the Australian Bush.

While fifteen cents was paid in
Queensland, Australia, for ka garoc
scalp, they came in at a great rate.
So, $50 scalps being paid for in year
and half. A reduction Of Sthe rate to
twelve has made all the difference in
favor Of the kangaroos Tt is estimated
that kangaroo eats as much grass as q
sheep, and destroys as much as it eats by
the Skill with which it picks ont the
most sueculent heritage.
The bush of Australia is SO oyerfed
by the multiplying of wild horses that
they have to be shot down in common
with rabbits and kangaroos. in one
district an Arab stallion got away some
thirty years ago, and was never recap
tured. He was chestnut, and took a
couple of thoroughbred colts with him,
and it has been remarked that a large
proportion of the wild horses of the dis
trict are of his color. Horses believed
to be very old are occasionally seen far
away in distant ranges. One man has
shot 1900 horses in two years.
