A FIGHT WITH WILD DUCKS.
Sailors Have a Desperate Battle with
Birds Blown Out to Sea.

Sailors Have a Desperate Battle with
Birds Blown Out to Sea.
Capt William T. Bernard and the
steam tug Plymouth arrived from Bos-
ton at Philadelphia few days ago with
three barges in tow, after one of the
toughest passages ever made and more
than the elements to contend with dur
ing the trip, having been attacked in
the Vineyard sound, during the terrific
hurricane of February 10, by
tremendous flock of wild ducks
that had been carried from the land by
the wind. They fought desperately
against the side of the tugs house and
powerful electric light on the mast
head, which was the object that a rst
attracted them. Mate Willard went on
deck and was knocked fiat by one of
the Infatuated birds, which flew directly
at him, striking him on the breast. To
substantiate this strange story told to
Press reporter Capt. Bernard saved
twelve of the birds that fell exhausted
from their struggles on the decks and
they are now at his home. The Plym-
outh, after passing Chatham just before
shutdown on February 10, experienced
heavy rains. Soon the wind veered to
the northwest and blew hurricane &C
companied by binding snow squalls
At nine o'clock at night Capt. Bernard
and Mate Willard were both in the
pilot house, when a fiuttering noise was
heard to windward- With the aid of
marine glasses they could discern
huge dark formation moving directly
toward them, and soon flock of fully
three hundred ducks made for the yes
sci. They few directly toward the cleo
trio masthead light and in striking the
pole fell by the dozen to the deck. Some
of the sailors were terrified at first by
the futtering noise, but on being con-
vinced what 1t was went on deck and
caught fully fifty of them and slowed
them away in the fore peak. The birds
were ravenously hungry, having been
carried miles from the land in the teeth
of the heavy gale. They could not fly
back. such was the force of the wind.
and those that failed TO light on the
Plymouth were carried off TO sea and
no doubt persisted. For fully an hour
the birds kept things in state Of ex-
element on board the tug, and Capt
Bernard confessed il was one of the
most remarkable experiences he had
ever seen or heard of In upward OF
quarter Of century of sea life.

PURIFYING MILK.
why the Process of Aeration Should BE
Understood by Dalrymen.

why the Process of Aeration Should BE
Understood by Dairymen.
The aeration or publication of milk
a a matter the value of which should
be understood by all milk producers.
Milk aeration, or the cooling OF milk by
air as the air is forced through the milk,
will cool every drop and remove all the
odors and gases.
Milk surrounded with ice or cold
water feels sudden reduction IN tenn
perature before the animal heat and
gas has been displaced, and the results
that when exposed to the temperature
of the surrounding air much more
rapid reaction and fermentation takes
place that soon spoi1s the milk. The
best condition for treatment is when
the milk is warm and fresh from the
COW. An aerator applied then, to blow
through air by powerful machine will
remove animal taints and leave the
milk inodorous and agreeable to the
taste.
Aerated milk is sweeter and purer
and keeps longer than the milk usually
drawn and sold by the measure or
plunged in ice-cold creamers. Ice is in
furious, as the milk suffers from the
chill it receives by coming in contact
with a cold substance. By aerating the
milk or forcing a cool stream of air
through its particles, all foreign poison
GUS substances are taken out, as are
also any substances which the milk has
absorbed from the atmosphere. The
aeration of milk is of immense value to
the physician in sultry July and August
days when elderly people and children
under five die SO painfully from summer
complaints
The careful cheesemaker, who has
studied to produce fine goods, tells us
over and over again that he cannot, by
any process of factory manipulation,
entirely remedy defective milk at the
factory. Experienced milk dealers
know that this must be done at the
farm. In this particular lies the differ
ence between an American factory
made cheese and a frst-class cheddar
made in Scotland. In the first case the
cheese is wrongly started at the farm.
In the last case the maker is the farmer
himself, who has complete control of
the cows and all subsequent stages of
manufacture.
The aeration of milk is process that
furnishes the only practical method of
obtaining uniform quality of milk
every day in the year. Moreover, 1t is
the only process that will at once free
the newly-drawn milk of all odors and
germs, from garlic and turnips and
from the live cholera germ, that worst
of summer plaques. Milk so treated
is vastly more digestible by delicate
stomachs and by children and will keep
nearly two days longer than milk not
so treated.-Farm and Home.

A JAPANESE oDDITY.
Queer Little Bells That Are Much Sought
by Collectors.

Queer Little Bells That Are Much Sought
by Collectors.
Within a few years great numbers of
Japanese temple bells have come to
this country and have been eagerly
bought by collectors. They are not
the bronze and copper bells of the
shops, chased with gold and silver and
hung on sillxen cords, but are rather
rough objects that resemble old pots.
1t Is not usual to hang them. They
rest on a circular cushion that keeps
them from rocking, and are struck
with stick made for the purpose and
covered at the end with leather. The
tone Is grave, but rich and mellow,
and the thin shells of metal vibrate
for several minutes after being struck;
while, without sounding very loud, the
carrying power of their tone is remark
able. There is one bell In Japan that
can be heard at distance of over
twenty miles, it is said. Some collect
ors get two or three bells of different
notes that form a chord, and when
Henry Irving was last in New York he
bought what might be called chime
of them, representing every note in the
scale. The metal is dull bronze that
is sometimes made from the coin, gold,
silver and copper, received as dona1
tions in the temples. The little knobs,
struck in repousse all over the surface,
have curious significance; it is said
that the original of these bells repre-
scented the head of Buddah, covered
with the snails that obligingly crawled
over his scalp and cooled it when .,
had headache. The little protrr
sions are conventionalized indications
of the snails.
