Cut or frcm Communication.

Late last spring tho two cable lines that
connect Australia with the northern hcnis-
pherc suddenly ard simultaneously ceased 20
work and the island continent was for n
Gime cut of frol instantaneous cCmmgni-
cation with the older world. Tho fact that
both cables on the same day failed to render
their usual service was regarded as @ re-
markab.e coincidence and excited alarm
Letters from Melbourne say the opinion was
general that this strange coincidence was
either the result Of great CONFUSION at the
bottom Of the ocean or was the work
OF al enemy; and every Australian govern
ment lost no time in putting is defcnses in
the lest possible condition. IL was not long,
however, before placidity Of mind was r.
stored by the discovery tLat nature. and net
uan, was responsible Ia tue great volcanic
belt south Of Java. where the two cables lie
within forty miles Of each other. they had
been simultaneously fractured, it is supposed,
by some tremendous submarine disturbance.

Making Cheese In small Quantity

Since the establishment Of so many
creameries and cheese factories through
out the country cheese making IN fam
lilies has almost become a lost art. The
nights and mornings milk may be put
together in large kettle and brought
almost to blood heat. when rennet is put
in and stirred up with the milk After
that il must not be disturbed again until
it has curdled and whey appears on the
top and sides Of the kettle. Dip this off
carefully, so as not to break the curd and
cause a whtsh whey. This whey may
be warmed and turned back to keep up
the temperature until the separation Of
of the whey from the curd is complete.
when it is all dipped off again and the
hardened curd is cut from time TO time
into inch squares with large knife 70
still further aid in the separation Of the
whey.
After this the whole is dipped into a
coarse strainer cloth, spread in the cheese
basket and placed over tub to drain. II
is then chopped III a chopping bowl or
rubbed into small pieces and salted ready
for i'=e cheese hoops. when II Is gently
pressed until the whey is all expelled. A
dried remet is soaked in salt and water in
stone jar, and the amount required will
depend on its strength and must be
learned by experience a tablespoonful
TO a gallon of milk is about tho usual
quantity. When on the shelf TO dry the
cheese must be rubbed daily with grease
made from heated butter until it is cured.
While a quite small fruit or cider press
might be used, it would not be well
adapted TO the purpose. and a cheap one
madc by a carpenter would be better.
