To Improve the Canal.

Tuesday last United States Senator Hig-
gins, Professor Houpt of the University
and Thomas Martindale of Philadelphia,
made tour investigating the present con-
dition of the Delaware and Chesapeake
canal. 1t was found that the canal could
be deepened and widened in such way
that it would permit the sailing Of the
largest ocean steamers, thereby saving q
detour of Philadelphia to Baltimore alone
of SO miles, and about 18 hours time. II
is proposed to deepen the canal to 25 feet,
with surface width of 40 feet, except the
deep cut which is three and half miles
long and rs feet deep. The probable cost
Of the works would be about $4,000 900.

wedged in the Narrow Creek

Two barges, one loaded with coal
consigned to F. B. Watkins of Odessa,
and the other with phosphate mater
ial for the Lord g. Polk Chemical Com
pany of the same place, were made
fast in the cutoff of the creek, two
miles above Odessa. The barges were
being towed in side by side on Monday
night, when they became wedged to-
gether and the one loaded with coal
sunk to the bottom Of the creek. The
phosphate material has been removed
and will be landed at the wharf to-day.
The sunken coal barge will be raised
as soon as possible.

Docs lightning Sour the MIX.

lisa well known fact that milk is
especially apt to sour during the preva-
lence of thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surnised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical fluid. An Italian ex-
one Professor e. Tolomc1-
has been making trials of various sorts.
the object being to throw some light On
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed an cleo
tric discharge from q Holtz machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in hottie containing
q Quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing q current between two strips OF
platinum at the bottom of V tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subiecting milk in test tube To the ac-
ton Of strong battery current through
q silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each ono of these experiments,
which were as thorough as my lover OF
science could wish, it was proved that
acidnlation of the milk was delayed in
stead of fastened. us had been expected.
Three equal portions of milk from the
sanAesnsanillsing thus treated began to
gro%a@ on the seventh, the ninth aud
the sixftSGays, respectively, while other
portions of it which had not been treated
with electricity was raj: ;ly acid on the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory of lightning
being tho direct cause of the aciditica-
ton. of milk. Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souriny. luhis second
trial of ozone he brought the surface OF
a quantity of milk close to the two balls
of the machine used, and the fluid al-
most instantly became acid in conse-
quence.
Here at last mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alike has
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.
