An Interesting Family Relationship Case
Among French Canadians

An Interesting Family Relationship Case
Among French Canadians.
Pearson's Weekly.l
The French Canadian people are famous
for the size of their families, and for the in :
tricacy of their family relations Every
one in given neighborhood is quite sure to
be related in some way to every one else
A surprising illustration of these charac-
teristics is found in the village of St. Marie
de Beauce, in the Province Of Quebec.
There lived the two families of Rheaume
and Norm; and in each of these families
there were eight children-four boys and
four girls in each case. AS the young peo-
pie grew up, every Rheaume boy married a
NORM girl, and every Norm boy Rheaume
girl, until all were married in this way.
Large families of children were born to
all these unions so that at last accounts,
there were 80 Rheaume children in the
third generation, and 35 NORM children.
These "a children, living in one village,
are, therefore, of degree of relationship
nearer than cousinship: they are what is
known as "double cousins" This rela-
tionship is not of unusual occurrence; but
so great number of "double cousins" liy-
ing in single village was probably never
known before.

Part of the Union Where workingmen
Have No Cause to Complain.
Harper's Weekly.l
The workingman need not complain in
Alaska Three dollars day, with board
and lodging provided by his employers, are
miners wages. Indian workmen in the
mines receive 50 day and 'tfnd" them
selves. The cost of provisions adds dollar
day for each white employe to the ex-
penses of the mining company, and with
these items in the operating expenses, any
fractions of dividends sufficiently prove the
richness of the mines.
Hydraulic mining begins in May and lasts
until October and unless they are situated
in snow-choked canons difficult of access,
the quartz mills can run all the year round.
The great Treadwell mill on Douglas Island
thunders night and day, winter and summer,
grinding out in the II months ending with
last May $780, 765 SO-sufficient answer to
all that has been said against Alaska's being
or becoming great mining country.

Another claimant for that bonanza of the
electrical field, a durable and effective in
sulator, halls from Germany. He mixes
three parts of steatite with two of powdered
chalk or magnesia aud chalk, and thor
oughly incorporates the ingredients until the
material has a uniform, "soapy" touch.
The mixture can then be compressed into
dense masses, and is ready to be worked up
into any convenient form. To increase the
insulating properties of the chalk it is
kneaded with three parts of resin or shellac
dissolved in alcohol until sort of dough is
obtained This is then dried, powdered,
warmed with constant stirring to 800
centigrade, and finally compressed into hot
molds.

ODDS AND ENDS OF SCIENTIFIC LORE
WRITTEN FOR THE p1sPArcH,T

A problem which is of the deepest interest
to statisticians, agriculturists and social
economists is the production and utilization
of milk and milk products in this country.
Steps are now being taken to secure reliable
data on this subject
In the meantime some statistics which
have just been collected in England are oi
great value. Within the last 20 years the
number of cows in Great Britain has de.
creased in proportion to population. In
1S66-70 there were 81 1 cows per ], 200 of the
! population, while in 1SS6-90 there were only
779 The absolute number of cows had in
creased, but not sufficiently to keep pace
with the growth of population. In ireland
the period 1sS6-9O showed a higher proper
tion (290S) of COWS to population than in
any of the four quinquennial periods, but
this was not due to an increase in the
number of cattle, but to the decrease of
population.
As regards the London milk supply, the
figures furnished by the railway companies
show that the total quantity of milk
brought by rail into the metropolis was in
1890 rather more than 40, 600, 900 gallons, or
nearly 100 gallons per day. Similar re-
turns collected nearly 80 years ago show
that at that time the quantity did not e1-
ceed 2,5OO,0OO gallons per annum- The
total London milk supply amounts to 1885,
900 gallons per day, or As, SOC, 900 gallons
per annum, which gives a daily consump-
tion per head of one-quarter of pint.
Figures supplied by milk retailers in vari-'
Gus districts show an average daily con-
sumption per head in the West End of
three-quarters of pint, while in the East
End it is only 0.0S of pint. Returns COL
lected from a number of public institutions
show a mean daily consu mption per head of
O. 66 pint of milk, O. "a ounce of cheese and
0.90 ounce Of butter.
Taking the country generally, the aver
age consumption per head per annum of
milk, butter and cheese is estimated as fol-
lows: Milk, Is gallons; butter, 151 pounds
(of which S.S comes from abroad); cheese,
II pounds (of which pounds are foreign).
Reducing all the cheese and butter to their
equivalents in milk, the total consumption sas
of the United Kingdom is 2 SAG, 600, 900 gal
Ions, of which 1,129, 900, 600 are produced
abroad and are imported in the shape of
butter or cheese. The LAY, 900, 600 gallons
of milk produced in the United Kingdom is
thus accounted for: Consumed as milk, 57O,-
600, 900 gallons; butter, 617, ,000, 900 gallons
Representing los, 900 tons of butter); cheese,
224, ,000,0 gallons Representing 100000
tons of cheese); and miscellaneous (con-
densed milk, etc. }, 5000. 900 gallons. Even
these results are only tentative, but they
throw an interesting light on most diff
cult and complex subject and are instructive
and valuable to statisticians who are oover-
ing the same ground in this country.

Tandem Bicycle Attachment.

The popularity of the bicycle has greatly
increased since the discovery of the fact
that it is just as well adapted to feminine
requirements in the matter OF exercise and
enjoyment as to those of the sterner sex.
To some devoted couples, new arrangement
will appeal very forcibly. This is tandem
attachment to safety bicycle for use by a
lady. The price of the attachment IS COM
paratively small, and the cyclist by having
it and attaching it to his own machine finds
himself in the enviable position of being
able to take any lady friend for run when

Durability Of Pure Aluminium.

In view of the conflicting statements that
have been made with regard to the various
qualities of aluminium, some statistics lately
received from Germany are OF interest. The
results of the loss in weight in three spoons
of different compositions, after continuous
use, are given A silver spoon lost 0. 403
per cent per year; an aluminium spoon lost
0.630, and German silver spoon 10O6. It
thus seems evident that as regards durabil-
ity there is not much to choose between sill
yer and aluminium, while the alloy wears
away more easily than either.

MONKS POSSESS THE SECRET

They Manufacture Benedictine Liquor and
Thus Increase Their Income.
The liquor "Benedictine" is distilled
within monastery in France by monks
(who alone possess the receipt, much on
the same principle as that of the Great
Chartreuse, to which the Benedictine has
great resemblance both as to co.or Ito the
yellow Chartreuse, not the green) and
taste. Its greatest property, and perhaps
the secret of its unique flavor, lies in the
excellent quality of the very old brandy
used in its distillation.
The bottles are of peculiar and special
shape and manufacture, and every precau-
tion is taken to prevent limitations OF the
liquor for which the Benedictines OF Fecamp
are notorious, yet not withstanding their Wig
ilance, limitations are made and sold, but the
"Benedictine" still continues to increase
the already large fortune of the diligent
and persevering monks at Fecamp.

Weight by the Stone.


NewcastIe ChronlcIe.l
Measurement of weight by the 'stone,"
says writer, arose from the old custom
farmers had of weighing wool with stone.
Every farmer kept large stone at his
farm for this purpose. When dealer came
along he balanced plank on top of wall,
and put the stone on one end and bags of
wool on the other until the weights were
equal. AT first the stones we're of all sorts
of sizes and weights, with the result that
dealers who wished to make living had to
be remarkably knowing in their estimates
of them. But the many inconvenience
evolved by this inequality eventually re-
suited in the stones being made of uni
form weight.

IF THE EARTH WOULD STOP
The Convention of Motion Into Heat Would
Burn Up Everything.

Burn Up Everything.
The globe revolves with a surface speed
which varies from a little over !, 900 miles
an hour at the Equator to nil at the Poles
1t is now an accepted axiom of physics tina
heat an d motion are convertible terms, and
that all motion suddenly arrested is in
stantly redeveloped as heat
The diurnal motion of the earth trans
lated into heat would raise the temperature
of the whole globe above the point at which
its seas would evaporate, and even its sur
face materials become iqui6ed if not re-
duced to vapor But beyond this it is
probable that the molten matter beneath the
crust would, by virtue of its semi-huidity,
burst through the thin, melting envelope
and overflow the ruins of the world In
word, the sudden stoppage of the earth's
diurnal revolution would mean an equally
sudden return of primeYal ch aos.

New M.thod of Mine Ventilation.

A novel device has been used to produce
an air current in shaft in Pennsylvania
A small steam pipe enters the top of a
wooden airway for depth of nine feet, and
the steam escaping from this pipe caus es a
rush of air which obviates the use of fan.
So considerable Is the effect of this steam
ject that 1904 feet of cubic air is carried
out at the outlet of the shaft every minute.
This system has been so successful that it
is regarded as more practical than the air
fans now in common use.
