How Milk Is Condensed.

When the milk is brought int A.
factory it is carefully strained, plas ~
in cans or pals, which are put into |.
tank of water kept hot by ST., m osS'
When hot it is transferred TO lsras s.
steam heated open vessels and ou;e S,s
brought to a boil. The preliminary
heating and boiling has for its ob;s:,
the expulsion of the gases Of the MIN MIN
which would cause it to foam in tLa
vacuum-pa and also to add 10 II.
keeping quality of the milk bv a.
stroying the mold germs. ~
A second straining follows, alta,
which the milk is transferred 10
vacuum-pan, where, at a temperatn,s
below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, il bo;ls
and is rapidly concentrated to anv
degree desired.
The vacuum-pan employed is a Close
vessel of copper, egg-shaped, about
six feet high and four and one.bali
feet in diameter. 1t is heated NV
steam coils within, and by steam
jacket without-inclosin the lowe,
portion. In one side of the dome is a
small window, through which gas i.
Eliminates the interior, while on the
opposite side is an eye-glass, through
which the condition of the contents
may be observed.
The pan is also provided with a
vacuum gauge and test sticks. Much
of the milk used in cities is simply
concentrated without any addition Of
sugar. The process of concentration
| is continued in the vacuum. pan until
one gallon of milk is reduced to a lit.
tie less than a quart-one volume Of
condensed milk corresponding to
about four and three-tenths volumes
of milk.
Condensed milk intended to be pre-.
served for any length of time has an
addition of pure cane-sugar made to
it during the boiling, and is usually
put up in sealed cans. This sugared
or preserved" milk, when properly
prepared, will keep many years.

The Sun.

In any reference to the physical
history of the sun, the stupendous
magnitude of its sphere must be kept
wildly present to the mind. With
diameter 105 times larger than the
earth, the solar orb looks out into space
from q surface that is 10000 times
larger than the one which the earth
enjoys. The bulk of the sun is 1,3O0.
600 times that of the earth. If the sur.
face of the sun were thin external
rind, or shell, and the earth were placed
in the middle of this hollow sphere,
not only would the moon have space to
circle in it's usual orbit without ever
getting outside of the solar shell, but
there would be room also for second
satellite, nearly as far again as the moon,
to accomplish similar course. The
weight of the sun is 100000 times the
weight of the earth, or, in round mum.
bers, 100000, 900, 900, 900, 100000 Of
tons. The mean distance of the sun
from the earth is now 80 well ascer.
tanned, through Investigations which
have been made in several distinct ways
that there can scarcely be in the est.
mate an error of 100000 miles. The
distance, at the present time given, is
81, 1885,, 900 miles. This measure is OF
itself so vast that, if any traveller were
to move at the rate of four miles an
hour for N hours day, it would take
him $500 years to reach the sun:
Sound would traverse the interval il
there were anything in spree capable
of transmitting snonrous vibrations, In
fourteen years, and a cannon ball sus.
tanning it's initial velocity Throughout
would do the same thing in nine years
A curious illustration, attributed to
Prof. Mendenhall, is to the effect that
an infant, with an arm long enough
when stretched out from the earth 70
reach the sun, would die of old age be-
fore it could become conscious, through
the transmission of the nervous I'M
preston from the hand to the brain'
that it had burned its fingers.
In order that the earth thus moving
round the sun with a chasm of 93,OOV,'
600 of miles intervening space between
them, may net be drawn to the sun Dy
the preponderant attraction OF l's
$4,000 miles larger mass, itshas to snoos
forward in its path with momenIn

Hon. B. F. Perry for Governor

In tho present condition Of the Stute, our
clubs disbanded, the people divided on local
issues aud the strong opposing oolored element,
II we expect to carry the State for the Demo-
cratic party next fall, we must have ticket
composed Of solid, conservative men, properly
distributed geographically.
We have seen the name Of ex-Gov. Perry
announced as proper person for Governor, and
Sse are satisfied. If he will make the race that
no con command a stronger vote than any other
man in the State. He Is eminently practical
man and is firm as o rock and as able as no is
firm. The people could trust him regardless of
party or party affiliations as q man who would
execute the laws honestly and faithfully and
who would lend bis judgment and experience
for the common good. He should feel It q duty
to those who have 80 long honored and trusted
him to lend his manic and influence to heal our
divisions and preserve our present control of the
State, and We trust that the convention, should
ono be called to mako nominations will tender
and insist ON his becoming our standard bearer.
With his name and good selection of solid,
conservative men for other State Offices from

The Legislature

NOW proposes TO ADJOURN on the 9th In
slant, the House having refused to accede to
the Senate resolution to adjourn the 9th,
We presume tho members are pleased With
the prospect of getting off go soon and feel
sure their constituents will be glad to see
them again out Of the way Of doing or re-.
ceiving harm.
While we believe the Legislature has Ia
bored faithfully for what it conceived tho
best interests Of the State, and has adopted
several valuable measures, still it has voted
down and reconsidered, done and undone,
then done again, 80 many measures, that tho
country willlbreathe easier when it knows
the body has adjourned and tho law is fix-
ture.
There Is no greater source Of anxiety to
q people than uncertainty and no one is cer-
tain of anything while tho Legislature is in
session, unless it be that every day increases
the taxes Of the people. We admit that our
present Legislature has had many knotty
problems to solve, and problems tho solution
Of which either way exctes opposition. The
stock law, the liquor law and the election
law, all have their friends and opponents, dod
to satisfy allNis an impossibility. We give
the body credit for having exercised its best
Judgment in these matters and hope tho poo
pie will give the laws fair trial and if found
unwise or oppressive, that all will obey them
until repealed by proper authority. A bad
law well enforced or willingly obeyed is bet
ter than good law badly enforced or disre"
garded. In the former case, the rights of
oil, for the time being. are known and res.
pected, whilo in the latter, no one has any
rights except such as are accorded by the
whims or fanoies of individuals. Let US all,
then, regardless of our individual prefcren-
ces or interests, stand together as in tho past
and preserve On honest government.
During the past week little Of general inn
portance has been done. Bills have passed
giving to Wngener Township in this county
two Trial Justices; also. amending the char
tor Of the town of Walhalla; olso, limiting
the pay of Trial Justices in Wagener Town
ship to fifty dollars per yeac for criminal bus
nees.
A bill has also passed the House to en-
power Trial Justices to order persons con-
victed of petty offences to hard labor on the
public roads and streets.
The House hos also voted down the bill to
repeal the usury law by largo majority.
A number Of railroads and manufactures
have been chartered and much local legislas
tion passed.

esting review of the work of the past week.
