Fine Linen.

The result of recent experiments with
Minnesota flax fiber for fine linen goods
is reported as very gratifying. A bale
of flax which was sent to Belfast, Ire
land, for manufacture has been re-
turned in the form of the finest quality
made, as experts say. It demonstrates
that fiber can be produced in the north
west suitable for fine fabrics. This has
long been believed to be the case, but
the matter has been quite largely one
of speculation. A great fax raising and
oil manufacturing industry has grown
up here in the northwest. 1t is one of
the most profitable crops for the farm
er. But the fiber hitherto has gone to
waste. No attention has been paid to
its culture, at least until very recently.
Whether the fiber of the plant which
has been grown exclusively for seed
can be used for fabrics, and especially
for the finer fabrics, is a question which
directly concerns the northwesterner.
1t is in line with the diyersifcation of
his products, the end for which he is
striving. It would also add new lines
of manufacturing to western towns.
Use is already being made of our fax
fibers for coarse materials, as mills for
this purpose are being erected since the
new tariff went into effect. It has been
demonstrated that such fbers as are
now produced by our northwestern
farmers can by proper preparation be
proftably so used. If these fbers can
be made suitable for fine fabrics a great
step of progress will have been made.

Atfer Other Worlds.

Every year we get to know moro and
more about the moon, but still our
knowledge is comparatively meager.
According to an English paper. a French
savant has most wonderful scheme
that will add greatly to our knowledge.
This Frenchman, NJ. Francois Delon-
Gle, has in mind the Paris exposition of
1900; for Paris is going to give another
marvellous worlds fair then, provided
all is well and there are no wars on
hand. The scheme is to have mirror
of crystal, eight meters in diameter,
which will weight about eight tons,
and by means Of this gigantic thing to
examine the moon in detail The
scheme has been discussed by many
scientists, and they admit its merits
and declare that the scheme is not inn
possible. The only trouble is that no
plan has yet been devised to place the
mirror in position, which would have to
be on mountain two miles high in Or
der to secure the proper atmospheric
conditions If this can be accomplished
and few other details arranged, a
truly wonderful result is promised.
The moon is only two hundred and
forty thousand miles away, but in this
glass would seem but five miles. OBJ
jects in the moon that are as high as a
four-story house could be distinguished
with ease, and then just think what
wonderful things would be seen! It is
interesting to simply imagine such
scheme, but to have it put into execu-
ton would be overpowering.
If the plan is carried out in all the de-
tails, and the results are as expected,
the twentieth century will probably
find us in communication with the peo-
pie who are supposed to inhabit Mars.
And after that-weI, what happens
after the twentieth century will not in
terest us, so it would be useless to spec
ulate.

Useless Worry.

There is much truth and more phi
losophy than little in the following
observations of traveller at st. Louis
hotel the other day:
Every little while," he says, "some
speculator lifts up his voice to proclaim
that in few generations more man
will be hairless biped. Now another
speculative crank promulgates the opin-
ion that the coming man will be dumb
as well as bald. l admit that the heavy
hats worn are conducive to badness;
that reading much and talking little
tends to affect unfavorably mans
fuency of speech; but it is just as
reasonable to predict that the thirtieth
century man will be blind as that he
will have no use for BARRIERS and tele-
phones. PROFESSIONALLY artificial
lights and close study tend to impair
the eyes,ght, and physical defects have
tendency to become aggravated and
permanent. Fifty years ago it was
rare thing to see man or a woman
wearing glasses before reaching middle
life; now fully twenty per cent of the
population employ artificial aids to
vision before passing the period of
puberty. When man is both bald
and blind, and woman has become
speechless, the life of the latter will
scarce be worth the living. But am
an optimist. Civilization, having created
the complaint, can be confidently re-
lied upon to furnish the cure. We need
not worry about posterity."

Bacteris. in Ice.

| A good many of the bacteria which
are found In all natural surface waters
are expelled or killed when the water
freezes. but as many as ten PEI cent,
and often more, may remain alive. A
large number of studies on this subject
have shown that the bubbly and snowy
ice is apt to contain many more bacteria
than the clear ice does. These bacteria
in ice have, as rule, says noted au-
thority, no influence whatsoever upon
the health of the ice consumer, if the
ice has been formed on bodies of water
which are clear and pure. But ice
which is formed on sewage-polluted or
otherwise filthy water may contain
disease-producing bacteria, and hence
be very dangerous for domestic use It
has thus come to be firmly established
as primary principally in sanitary
science that sewage polluted water
should not be used for domestic pur-
poses, either IN its natural state or in
its condition as ice. No water which
is unfit to drink as water is fit to use
for a similar purpose as ice. Its cold
ness may benumb the sense of taste, so
that no warning Of its nature comes to
the consumer. Its intrinsic clearness
and beauty may put him off his guard,
but all ice cut from sewage-polluted
waters is dangerous and should by law be
kept from the domestic market. Ice man
ufactured from distilled water should, it
would seem, be germ free. In fact,
however, it is extremely difficult to pre-
pare absolutely germ-free water on the
large scale, and almost impossible to
keep it so if once prepared, because
every exposure to the air, or contact
with utensils in common use, brings to
it varying and often large numbers of
germs which can live and grow in the
water. But these small numbers of
common bacteria are not of the slight
est Importance to the salubrity of the
water.

Dangerous Fraud.

There is no end TO the excitement
produced by societies for the prevention
and suppression of all sorts of evils, and
there are numberless well paid and en-
thusiastic officials who seem to take
great care that the ignorant and con-
tiding members of the human family
shall not be defrauded in their pockets
or contaminated in their morals.
But while our minds and morals are
being looked after, says a recent writer
on this subject, serious danger cloud
is gathering over the health, if not the
life, of certain portion of the COM
munity. 1t goes without saying that if
the babies all die there will sooner
or later be no men and women on
earth; and as the danger aforemen-
toned menaces the babies, there is
urgent need that they be looked after,
else the race will soon become extinct.
1t appears, through the investigations
of some eminent physicians, that there
is an established practice among milk
men of filing their cans from the
hydrants and adding preparation
which will, with the addition of small
amount of pure milk, increase the
product five or six fold. It is said that
certain milkmen buy single large can
of pure milk. and from this furnish all
of the cans for several wagons.
1t is claimed that no ordinary process
or means will detect the fraud. The
product looks, tastes and smells exactly
like pure fresh milk, and a cream rises
upon it. Only the most careful chem
ical analysis detects the spurious quail
ity of this compound of salt, sugar and
earthly substances. But babies pine
away and die when fed upon it, and its
general use will, it is believed, cause
the death, from lack Of nutrition, of
almost any infant to whom it is given
as a regular diet.
1t is suggested, as an immediate rem
edy, that badly nourished children be
reported to the health officers and that
Investigations are promptly begun,
pending which some milk dealer of
known reliability may be recommended.
Meanwhile the question of legal enact
ment is being strongly agitated.
If there is any crime for which its
perpetrators should be made to suffer,
it is the adulteration Of the standard
and only food of infants. When the
compounding is so skillfully done that
all ordinary tests fail in the effort at
detection, the fraud becomes doubly
dangerous. When families must be
placed entirely at the mercy of un-
scrupulous purveyors, when the little
ones are deprived of their only reliable
and safe subsistence, then the art of
adulterating milk becomes construc-
lively manslaughter, if indeed, it be not
murder in the first degree.
