Shoes for the Dead.

Among Chicago's industries is a fac
tory where the manufacture of shoes for
corpses is carried on exclusively.
Out of five neat black boxes a repre-
sentative of the. firm yesterday took as
many different sizes. These were adults
and children's shoes. The material cor
responds with the purpose of their use.
The,shoes are. certainly nice to took at.
The soles are cut out of pasteboard. and
are covered with grained paper. The
uppers are a Combination of quilted
satin. and crochet work. A ribbon, in
serted at the top. and tied in neat bow
knot, holds the.shoe to, the foot.
''Men's shoes are always black it
was said. Occasionally We turn out a
lotof brown ones. We!have, had special
orders for mems white shoes, but only
in few instances. Shoes for women
and children are always! white, They
arenot expensiye; five to fifteen dollars
will. purchase dozen pairs"
The burial shoe is a patented article.

Does Lightning Sour tho Milkq

It is a well known fact that milk is
especially apt to sour during the preya-
lence of thunderstorm, and from this
it has been surmised that the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical fluid. An Italian ex-
perimenter, one Professor G.. Tolomei,
has been making trials of various sorts,
the object being to throw some light Son
electric influence over milk molecules.
In his first experience he passed anselec-
trio discharge from Holtz machine be-
tween two balls of platinum hanging
two inches apart in a bottle containing
quart of fresh milk; secondly, by send
ing current between two strips of
platinum at the bottom of q V tube
filed with the same fluid; thirdly, by
subjecting milk in a test tube to the &C
ton of a strong battery current through
a silk covered copper wire wound spi-
rally around the tube.
In each one of these experiments,
which were as thorough as any lover OF
science could wish, it was proved that
acidulation Of the milk was delayed in
stead Of fastened, as had been expected.
Three equal portions OF milk from the
same milking thus treated began to
grow acid on the seventh, the ninth and
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of it which had not been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on the
evening of the third day. Having thus
disproved the popular theory of lightning
being the direct cause Of the acidifica-
ton of milk, Professor Tolomei tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent of milk souring. In his second
trial of ozone he brought the surface. of
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 a mystery that has puz-
zled professors and peasants alikelhas
been made plain.-St. Louis Republic.

ACCIDENT.
An accident occurred at Papaikou
landing on Thursday last which came
near ending the life Of one of the
Kinau's crew. While working there,
the surf got gradually higher, and
one of the boats going out to the
steamer was caught by blind roller
and thrown upside down on the rocks
on shore. The men scrambled upon
the rocks, but the officers Of the
steamer only counted four men, and
so called to them that there was one
missing. The others overturned the
boat and found the poor fellow lying
under it on the rocks, apparently
dead. They rolled him on the rocks
and got the water out of him. They
took him on board the steamer, and
it was only with the greatest effort
that life was brought back. He had
been under the boat fully ten min
utes. He has since partially re,
covered, but is still far from we'll
Mr. Palmer, the ornithologist who
arrived on the last Kinau, met with
an accident on Saturday while
mounting his horse at d. III. Hitch
cocks residence. The horse reared
up and fell backwards, throwing him
violently to the ground. Fortunately
the horse did not fall on him, or it
might have been more serious. AS
it was, he sustained a severe shock TO
his nervous system and was confined
to the house for the remainder of
the day. W. f. SCoTT.
