Rich wives for Nrlni,tnrs.

A clergyman writing in the Chicago
Advance says: A friend of mine says
that ministers ought always to marry
rich women. He is rather a self-indul-
gent fellow. He emphasized his remark
by adding that any minister is fool
who does not marry wealth. / scoffed
at him and said you are altogether
too material. Many women of wealth
will not marry ministers-they are not
fitted for the position that minister's
wife must have. You look at it simply
as an exchange of minister's social
position for the wealth which woman
would bring. Such bartering is not
honorable. 1t hurts the ministe- thus
to sell and to buy. OF course l also
srid, 'ff good woman is wealthy her
wealth constitutes no insurmountable
barrier to a minister's marrying her II
he loves her and she him. Even rich
people may be good and loved and Low.

Ozone Sours the milk.

Many reasons are assigned why milk
and cream sour so easily during the
electrical disturbances accompanying
thunder-storms. Theories regarding
this phenomenon are quite as varied as
they are numerous.
An electrician at Washington ex-
planned to Post reporter the results of
some of the recent experiments in this
country and abroad, made for the prr-
pose Of solving conclusively this hereto
fore unsettled question. An Italian
chemist, Prof. Tolomei. found that the
passage of electric current directly
through the milk not only did not hast
en-. but actually delayed acidulation.
Milk so treated did not become sour
until the sixth to the ninth day, where
as, milk not subject to the electric cur
rent becomes decidedly acid on the
third day. When, however, the poles
of Holtz electric generating machine
were held in close proximity above the
surface of the milk, the latter soon be-
came sour. This effect the professor
attributed to the ozone generated by the
electrical discharges.
AS the sopring of milk is attributed to
the growth of ferment or bacterium
which converts the milk sugar into lac
tic acid, it is possible that the presence
of ozone in the air everything the milk
hastens the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
the bacterium. The production of ozone
on small scale by the machine and on
great scale of lightning is identical
In the latter case the ozone is diffused
through the air,and its presence may be
detected by the strong acid odor which
so often prevails Immediately after
sharp electrical storm has passed; there
fore if milk should be- submerged in
water during a storm, and the access of
the air prevented, no result of the kind
would occur. for the experiments proved
that it is not the electricity itself, but
the ozone produced by its discharge in
the air. which hastens acidulation.

a Skull of Iron,

A human skull of front Not one made
bv artiiice, remember, but SO construc-
ted bv nature. What could be more
wonderful? asks the Washington STIR.
An anthropological expert showed the
specimen at the Smithsonian yesterday
though it has not been placed on exhibit
ton. The skull. which was once upon
a time like any other skull. is imbedded
in a mass of iron ore. Nature originally
inclosed it in that way by an accident.
and gradually, in the course Of centur-
les. particles of the metal took the
places of particles of bone. until at
length the skull was no longer bone. but
iron. Its struture in the iron is perfect
in every detail, save that the top of the
head and the lower jaw are missing.
