STERILIZATION OF MILK.
A Simple Method Reported to the
Secretary Of Agriculture.

I. I Il
Secretary Morton is showing much inter
est In the prevention Of the spread OF con-
taglous diseases through the milk OF cows
he recently requested DR.. D. E. Salmon,
Chief of the Bureau Of Animal Industry, to
report some simple method OF enectuaily
sterilidng milk. DR.. Salmon in his report
lust submitted, comments on the danger OF
the spread of contagion and says that stcrih-
zation of milk for children can be satlsfac-
torily accomplished by simple apparatus,
which he describes as follows & J.5
The vessel containing the milk, which may
be the bottle in which it is supplied, or any
other vessel, Is placed inside Of . larger YES
sci OF metal, which contains water. The re-
uuirements are simply that the interior yes,
sell should be raised about half On inch above
the bottom OF the other, and that the water,
should reach nearly, or quite as high.
as the milk. This apparatus is then hested
until the milk reaches temperature OF lb5
degrees Fahrenheit, when it Is removed from
the heat and allowed TO cool gradually.
A temperature OF $50 degrees maintained
fo- half an hour is sufficient to destroy
any germs likely to be present In the
milk, and it is found in practice that
raising the temperature OF 155 degrees
and then allowing 1t to stand In the
heated water until cool. insures the proper
temperature for the required time. The sim
plest plan Is to take tin pail and have fol-
It a false bottom with perforated holes and
legs half an inch high to allow circulation OF
the water. Themilk bottle is set on this faIse
bottom and the pail Is filed with water until
it reaches the level Of the surface ofthe milk
In the bottle. A little hole may be punched
in the cover OF the bottle in which cork Il
inserted and thermometer Is put through 1t
30 that the bulb dips into the milk, and the
temperature can thus be watched Without re.
moving the cover.

A MIDDAYBANK ROBBERY
THE SOUTH BEND, IND, Ma
TIONAL LOOTED OF $4,000.

The Cashier Had Gone to Lunch-His
Door-The Robbe er Broke Through
Two Doors into the Vault Where
the Money Was.
4 bold robbery was committed about noon
upon the South Bend Qnd) National Bank,
one Of the leading banking concerns In the
State. The amount taken was $15, 800. The
robbers seem to have made good their escape.
From the manner in which the details Of
the theft were carried ont. 1t Is GER
tain that it was engineered by gang
of experienced criminals, who must
have been for some time shadowing the
bank and its officers, and had become
thoroughly conversant with their business
habits. The South Bend National Bank Is
located on North Michigan street. the First
National Bank being just north OF 1t, an iron
fence joining them. Shortly after noon, while
Cashier Campbell was absent at lunch, As
BistaIt Cashier Kelly, who resides in the rear
OF the building, was called to his front door
by man who said he wanted to see@lm on
some business. At the same time man ap-
preached the bank building on the north and
effected an entrance to the directors room.
prying open the window sash with steel
chisel.
BE then forced heavy oak door, which
opened Immediately In front Of the vault.
The outer door of the vault was open, but
two-inch middle door had been closed by
Cashier Campbell.
This yielded readily, the combination hav-
ing for some reason failed to work, and be-
fore the robber stood the counter tray con-
tanning between three and ten thousand dol
lars. In the safe pile OF $14, 600 In gold
and many thousands in greenbacks was ar
rayed on shelves. 49,. ~
In the haste the counter tray with its loose
thousands was undisturbed, the robber con-
fning his theft to the safe, from which he
took $4,000 in yellow coin, about all he could
carry, and $11, 300 in hills. No silver coin
was touched.
The vault was then closed, and the robber
made his escape by means Of back doorb be-
fore Assistant Cashier Kelly had again passed
through the building. It is probable that but
one man entered the bank, be perhaps being
protected by outside guards, who could easily
have been placed where they could watch
through the plate-glass window the move
ments Of any one inside the building without
attracting attention to themselves. The
money was not missed until some time after
Cashier Campbell returned from dinner, and
then information OF the theft was suppressed
for some time in tho hope that some clue to
the robbers might be discovered.

The Directors Superintended the
Formal Opening.

The directors OF the Manchester (England)
Ship Canal have formally opened the canal
At the principal points bunting and flags
were lavishly displayed in honor OF the
formal opening Of the WATERWAY to the sea.
The steamship Snowdrod, conveying the

length of the canal.
In 1884, after several years OF fighting be.

passed bill authorizing the construction ol

of Liverpool to the scheme was based upon
the fear that should Manchester get the canal
the former place would lose large per.

in cotton. Work on the canal was COM
menced in 1887, and after many
yicissitudes and the expenditure
