Prairies Fired by lightning.

A bolt of lightning set fire to the dry
prairie grass in Hodgeman County,
Kansas, o few days ago. A heavy cleo
trio storm came up and the heavens
were ablaze with lightning. The
country was as dry as finder, and a
sea of dry prairie grass extended for
miles. The lightning struckt the earth,
boring a hole in the ground six feet
deep, and setting the grass on fire.
There was a high wind, and before the
rain, which followed, could extinguish
the fire itcompletely devastated a tract
of country five miles wide byten long,
destroying fences, barns and farm.
houses. The occupants of the houses
only escaped with their lives by taking
refuge in their ''eyclone pits" which
are dug out in the earth and covered
with dirt. A large number of horses

germs of disease are to be found in the
air and dust. The longer any sub

the greater the chance that germs will
be deposited on it. Bread raised with

before being baked and this process
may take anywhere from four hours to
ten. 1t has, then, the chance Of col

pravio1a To niphG a. metal stran win

Previous to flight a metal strap WITH
the number Of the bird and date of
fight has been fastened around the
leg which does not bear the seamless
band. Upon the arrival of the bird at
| home this strap is detached, sent to
the nearest telegraph Office, from
which a message is dispatched, giving
the number of the bird and whatever
markings the metal bands may bear.
An allowance of six minutes for
| every mile between the Office and the
| home loft is made, and the messenger
who carries the band to the teleg-
rapher must run or walk. He must
not use O street car or q carriage, nor
can he ride q bicycle or q horse, and
the message must be signed by the
operator.
The homing pigeon is IN interesting
bird. More than any other fancy
pigeon he resembles the ordinary
pigeon. If you desire to establish a
loft of your own, the initial expense
need not be any more than $50 or $75.
You will go to some reliable fancler
and from him purchase a dozen birds
at an expense of $25 or $50. You can
build a loft that will do very well for
e25 more, and there you are.
If you live where you have plenty
| of room the loft can be set in the back
yard, but if you live in the city you
may find it necessary to put it upon
the roof of your house. In fact, some
of the most famous lofts in America
are perched upon the fiat roofs of city
houses.
IF any of the birds you have bought
are old ones you will find it necessary
to keep them in close confinement all
their lives, for once liberated they will
surely seek their own home and be lost
to you forever, or until the former
owners return them to you. The
homer is not a very mild bird. In
fact, he is ~pugnacious, and can be
caught only by it's owner in the loft or
by the aid of a specially contrived net.
The essential features of a loft are
plenty of room, cleanliness, shelves for
nesting, a bathing place furnished with
running water, an ''area' and "bob
wires" The area has a hinged door
opening into the loft on one side, and
an opening protected by the "bob
wires, which communicates with the
outer air.
The "bob wires are so arranged
that when the returning bird lights on
the shelf outside and desires to enter
they will swing inward and allow him
to do SO, but will not swing outward.
This is to keep the bird that has just
made a flight a captive until he can be
examined and the time Of his return
noted.
The falling of the wire after the en-
trance of a bird makes 8 curious little
sound, which is known to fanciers as
the "click of the bob" It is anxiously
awaited when a match is in progress,
and is always followed by hurried
un~clasping of the metal band that has
been around the birds leg, and a mad
rush for the telegraph office by the
| person appointed for this purpose.

DISEASE GERMS FOUND THEIR WAY INTO THE YEAST BREAD

is worth a few words. The introduce
ton of the yeast into the moist dough
and the addition of heat when the pan
is placed near the fire produces an
enormous growth of the yeast fungi
the yeast "germ," in other words.
These fungi effect a destructive fer
mentation of a portion of the starchy
| matter of the four-one of the most
valuable nutrient elements in the -four.
The fermentation produces carbonic
acid gas, and this. having it's origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
| pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what lie
called ssraising the bread"
It needs but a glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely
mechanical. The dough, which was
before a close-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked
in this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up q portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
IF it be possible, therefore, to produce
q light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the ''kneading"
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising pro-
cess goes on, the gain in food and the
gain in the avoidance of the germs is
exceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the
dangers which attend the use of yeast
it is certain that the ve%siculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. It is apparent
that if we are to substitute any other
system of bread making we must have
one which will giveus, first, mechanical
results equally as good, that is, that
will produce minute bubbles of
carbonic acid gas throughout the
of dough. Now it is in no way diff
cult to produce carbonic acid gas
chemically, but when we are working
at bread we must use such chemicals
as are perfectly healthful. Fortunately
these are not hard to find.
The evils which attend the yeast
made bread are obviated by the use of
a properly made, pure and wholesome
baking powder in lieu of yeast. Bak-
ing powders are composed of an acid
and an alkali which, if properly COM
bined, should when they unite at once
destroy themselves and produce car
bonio acid gas. A good baking pow
der does it's work while the loaf is in
the oven, and having done it, disap"
pears.
The Opelousas courier., 1893-10-14

But care is imperative in selecting
the brand of baking powder to be GER
tain that it is composed of ~non-iniuri-
Gus chemicals. Powders containing
alum or those which are compounded
from impure ingredients. or those
which are not combined improper pro-
portion or carefully mixed and which
will leave either an acido or an alkall in
the bread, must not be used.
It is well to sound note OF warning
in this direction or the change from
the Objectionable yeast to an impure
baking powder will be q case OF jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire.

How Far Did He Ride3

a group of gentlemen were gathered

evening, says the Washington Post,
engaged in earnest endeavors to figure
out q mathematical problem brought
over by q prominent young member of
the New York Bar, who stands to lose

wrong. Here it is:
A column of troops twenty-five miles
long is ordered to a point twenty-five
miles distant. A courier starts sim
n~ltaneously with the rear of the col
umn and reaches the head thereof.
Returning he meets the rear of the
column at the point where the head
originally was. Both the troops and
the courier are to travef at q uniform
rate of speed. How many miles does
the courier traverse?
It looks simple. The young New
Yorker said it was simple, and that 10
didn't take a mathematical sharp to
figure out that the courier i%ourneyed
even fifty miles. The man who made
the bet with him was q Philadelphian,
and he called in Professor Thunder, q
teacher of mathematics, said to be the

is almost certain that they will be

bread is a form which every man and

Ii lis q belief as old as the hills that
underdone bread is unhealthful. This
reputation has been earned for it by
the experience of countless genera
tions, and no careful mother will wish
her children to eat bread that has not
been thoroughly cooked. The reason
given for this recognized unhealthful-
ness has been that the unlocked yeast
dough Id very difficult to digest. No
one but a physician would be apt to
think Of disease germs which have not

ing as q cause of the sickness following

this result from this cause is more than
probable. I have not the slightest

Now the gluten, which is also a con

affords, with the latter, an excellent
indus for the development of germs OF

very much chance of the germs OF
typhus and Of cholera reaching the
stomachs of the people who eat bread
which has been raised with yeast. But
/ have not the slightest cause to doubt
that other diseases have been and will

I have met journeymen bakers, sui.
fering from cutaneous diseases, work
ing the dough in the bread trough
with naked hands and arms. I have
no eason to suppose bakers are less
liable to cutaneous diseases than any
other men, and know, as every house
wife knows, yeast-raised bread must be
worked a long time. This is an ex-
ceedingly obiectionablethin from the
standpoint Of a physician for the
reason that the germs of disease which
are in the air and dust and on stair,
ways and straps in street cars, are
most often collected on the hands.
Any person who has ever kneaded
dough understands the way in which
the dough cleans the hands. This
means that any germs which may have
found a lodging place on the hands OF
the baker before he makes up his
batch of bread are sure to find their
way into the dough, and once there, to
find all the conditions necessary for
subdivision and growth. This is
equivalent to saying that we must rely
on heat to kill these germs, because it
