Butter by Lightning.

An exchange says: "Making butter
by lightning is the latest craze of the
electricians. The patent taken out
Tor this process is very simple. A
pair of electrodes are placed in a large
vessel of milk and a current runs
through. Directly the milk feels the
force of electricity, and it undergoes
curious change. Little balls of but.
ter form upon the electrodes, ar d sub
sequently detach themselves and float
to the top. The butter is then COL
lected, placed in kneading machine,
and worked up into the "best Dossit"
as fast as the operator can turn the
handle. The process is much quicker
than the old fashioned method Of
churning. The only drawback to the
butter so made is that it will not stand
the ordeal of a thunderstorm. Dur
ing the prevalence Of any severe at
mospheric disturbance the rolls of
butter stand on end, give out sparks
and often leap about the place. Gu
riously enough, this does not spoil
the butter, but it is found to be un.
pleasant at the breakfast or tea table.
Cheese can now be made by a similar
proc. SIS. 1t is now proposed, in or
der to save time, to apply an electric
mixer to the COW. This will sort the
butter and cheese as the milk leaves
the teat. The quality of the cheese
is determined by the food given to the
COW and the strength of the current
The most powerful currents are re.
quired to produce Gorgonzola or Lin.
burger cheese, but it is not safe to
make much of the latter kind, be-
cause the cow is always greatly ex'
hausted afterwards"

To-day another race was so nearly

Both Of the above races will come

Statistics hard and dry as they are, Of

Health some figures are given, regarding

over POO year. The total number of in
sane persons in that State is now 5000
and it must he borne in mind that this
number represents only the inmates of
public and licensed institutions There
are undoubtedly hundreds maintained in
private families who are not included in
the above figures. Insanity, it would
appear, is increasing to an alarming eN-

the conditions of its increase do not seem
