II Is well known fact that milk In
especially APP TO sour during the prcva-
lence of thunderstorm, and from this
IL has been surmised thar the electric
discharge held some mysterious sway
over the tactical full. An Italian cx-
perimenter, one Professor G.. Tolomei.
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 elec-
tric 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
tng current between two strips of
platinum at the bottom of V tube
filled with the same fluid; thirdly, by
suhjecting milk in a test tube 10 the ac-
tion of strosg 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, II 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 10
grow acid Oh the seventh, the ninth aud
the sixth days, respectively, while other
portions of ii which haan been treated
with electricity was rankly acid on ths
evening Of the third day. Having thus
disproyed the popular theory of lightning
being the direct cauEe ~ tine acidifica-
tion of milk Professor Toi0mpi tried
ozone and found therein the mystic
agent Of milk souring. In lis second
trial Of ozone hr brought the surface "
a quantity Of milk close 10 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 alike has
been made plain. Louis Republic.

The Gold Cure l. Very Old.

The precious metal has been employed
both externally and internally, In the
metallic state, in solution and by sym.
pathy. for great variety of the ills that
flesh is heir to. for over {, 1000 years. The
train Of thought which led the ancients
to employ this highly priced material
can be we'll told in the quaint language
of the distinguished Dutch physician and
chemist, Hermann Boerhaaye. writing
about l725, he says: "The alchemists
will have this metal contain know not
what radical balm of life capable Of re-
storing health and continuing it to the
longest period.
What led the early physicians TO
imagine snch wonderful virtue in gold
was that they perceived certain qualities
therein which they fancied must b..
conveyed thereby into the body. gold,
for instance. is not capable of being de-.
stroyed; hence they concluded it must
be very proper to preserve anima, sub.
stances and save them from putrefac-
tion, which il method Of reasoning
very much like that of some fanciful
physicians who sought for an assnaging
remedy in the blood of an ass ear hs
