When the famous Chancellor Kent was preparing the commentaries which won for him such distinction throughout the world, he spent the greater portion of his time in Albany that he might have the benefit of the state law library, then the best and most complete in the commonwealth Among the peculiar characteristics of the great jurist was a passionate fondness for martial music, good, bad or indifferent Another was tho extreme simplicity he af- fected in the matter of wearing apparel, of ten being mistaken when i'll his prime for a workman or comfortable mechanic Up- on his great work, he heard drum of a recruiting party, which had taken it's sta ton in the old capitol park, and was beat ing point of war.

Because man never is content
 And dreams and hopes his heart consumes Till earthly life is all but spent,
 And he no nearer is his boons. If man in feelings was brute,
 And had no social ties to find, He might perhaps then taste the fruit
 Of peace and quietude of mind. But since mans nature is to yearn
 For things which are so near infinite, And this our world, where e'er we turn,- Has naught but disappointment in it, Mans lot is but to live and die.
 Blest he who suffering can endure! The heart that agony here will try,
 Shall find beyond the grave it's cure.

HOW CONDENSED MILK is
MADE.

When the milk is brought to the
factory 1t 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 boil. This
preliminary heating and boiling has
for its objects the expulsion of the
gases of milk, which would cause it
to foam in the vacuum pan, and also
to add to the keeping quality of the
milk by destroying the mould germs.
A second straining follows, after
which the milk is transferred to a
vacuum pan, where, at temperature
below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it
boils and is rapidly concentrated to
any degree desired.
The vacuum pan employed is a
close vessel of copper, egg shaped,
about six feet in diameter. 1t is
heated by steam coils within and by
steam jacket without, closing the
lower portion. In one side of the
dome is a small window through
which the gas illumines the interior,
while on the opposite side is an eye
glass, through which the condition of
the contents is observed. The pan
is also provided with vacuum gauge
and test sticks.
Much of the milk used in the cities
is simply concentrated, without any
addition of sugar. The process of
concentration is continued IN the vac
uum pan until the gallon of milk has
been reduced to less than quart.
| 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 prepared,
will keep for many years.

oughly as its Importance demands.
The Bureau has been delayed in its
construction of experimental guns hy
the delay of foreign manufacturers
in supplying the required steel forg-
ings. This difficulty shows the i'm
portance of encouraging home pro-
duction. General Benet urges the
necessity of immediate action in this
regard. He also dilates on the i'm
portance of adopting types of eight
and ten inch steel guns by the time
American steel-makers are ready to
furnish materials. He commends the
American steel he has already used.
While waiting for new guns, the Bu-
reau has been improving the ten-inch
smooth hores on hand, by inserting
rified steel tubes, leaving the guns
only an eight-inch bore. Expert
ments in this line are described; and
their success has led to an order for
the change of fifty snch guns. Gen.
eral Benet speaks of experiments
with breech-loading or multicharge
guns. Those with the latter were
interrupted by an accident to the gun.
The value of explosive gelatine has
been demonstrated. The successes
of the year indicate the ability of the
United States Ordnance Bureau to
grapple with all the theoretical and
practical problems of gun construc-
ton. General Benet favors the
House bill providing for volunteer
organizations.

The London Economist after the
occupation of the Nile Valley, the
annexation in South Africa, that OF
the southern half Of New Guiaea,
and the protectorate' in the basin
of the Niger, thus describes the pres
ent position of Great Britain.
"On every continent excepting
South America, she has secured the
best land free for settlement, and
the deltas which appear likely to
yield the most profitable trade. She
is supreme in Australia, the Pacific,
South Africa, the Valley of the Niger,
and the Valley of the Nile, on the
Yang tse-Kiang, and in the unpeo-
pied portion of North America. The
Ganges, the Burrampooter, and the
Irrawaddy are her own rivers, as the
Mersey or the Thames. She holds
all coaling stations on the two routes
to the far East; She holds the keys
of the MEDITERRANEAN of the Red Sea,
of the Persian Gulf, the Straits of
Malacca, and the Eastern Archipel-
ago, and she rules in unquestioned
and practically lonely sovereignty
the people of India, an entire fifth of
the human race.
