The Smithsonian institution has hit
upon something extraordinary in
snails. The creatures may be slow,
but they hold the record over all other
animals for prolonged vitality under
adverse conditions. A specimen from
an island off the coast of lower Cali
fornia, inclosed in drawer with
part of the moluscan collection,
was found to be alive. 1t had had
no food or water for more than
six years When placed in a box OF
moist earth it protruded its foot, be-
gan to move about. and seemed to. be
as well as ever. Some time ago a few
snails of Il different species. gathered
in Mexico, reached the Smithsonian
institute and were placed in box.
They remained nndisturbed for two
years and three months, the end OF
which time they were put into jar of
glass with some chicliweed and small
quantity of tepid water. Pretty soon
they walked up and appeared quite ac-
tive. Journal.

turned on would do the work effective
ly without any watching.
When engaged in this business, and
before anything was known Of what is
now called sterilizing, we used heater
made of half-inch lead pipe, made into
a coil and fitted into suitable tin ves-
sci, which was filled with boiling water
The milk was strained into a sort of
hopper attached to the pipe, and as it
passed through this it came out at a
heat of about $50 degrees. not any too
much for the present method of steriliz-
ing the milk. The bottles were placed
on folded wet blanket as they were
filed, and none of them ever cracked
AS soon as filled, they We're closed and
set away in the delivery boxes The
milk thus prepared kept in good condi-
ton a whole week. and the cream rose
in the bottles very quickly. The diagram
shows how the apparatus was made.
The cost was, ! think, less than ST. The
milk of Ii cows was used with it. and
it enabled the work to be done in the
evening instead of, as previously, in
the morning. The milk in the bottles
was left to cool on the table slowly.
The heater was occasionally replenished

1t is quite possible to sterilize milk
In large quantities, but it is not prac-
tical way of doing it. for as soon as the
milk is exposed TO the air in the act of
distributing it into small vessels it
would Immediately become infected
ngain. The manner in which this proc
ess Is managed is to use large recep-
tacle, as II shcet-iro,i, copper or tin
closet made to close tightly, in which
the bottles of milk are placed, and then
heated by steam turned in from boil
or. This receptacle may be of any con-
venicnt size to hold hundred bottles
or even seven hundred If required, and
its construction is quite simple, as no
pressure is needed in the steam This
is simply discharged into the recepta-
Gle or chamber from boiler of any
simple kind.
From our experience in bottling milk,
If we were now desiring to sterilize the
milk, we would use the closed heater
made in the form OF q common copper
boiler with a tig ht cover set in an outer
one of iron, in which the copper one
would At closely, and boiler having
steampipe leading into the space of
three inches between the two heaters;
and putting the milk into the copper
heater would bring it to the proper
temperature of 150 degrees, and keep
it there for fifteen minutes or so to ef-
feet the sterilization of the milk, and
then draw off into bottles already heat
ed to the same temperature through a
pipe from the copper heater. Then, seal
ing the bottles Immediately, the proc
ess would be finished without any
special trouble or expense beyond the
cost of the little fuel and the time
spent. The hot water left from the
process would be useful in the wash
ing and sterilizing of the dairy vessels.
The sterilizing process is effective most
ly in the continuance of the heat for
the time mentioned rather than from
the degree of it. With this arrange

s,,,r AND BUFF.
Those Were washington's Favorite Color
For "A Military Uniform.

For "A Military Uniform.
At last in 1870 they referred the whole
matter of uniforms to Washington for
decision and settlement Washington
thcreupon issued n general order in
which he fixed the uniforms of the line
as follows. The. New England regi.
ments, blue faced with white. New
York and New Jersey, blue faced with
buff; Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia, blue faced with red,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, blue faced with blue. This
scheme is readily explainable. WASH
ington desired that the troops of the
respective sections of the country
should be easily distinguish at
glance. If only a portion of the
Continental army wore blue and buff,
there was one man who wore
it from the earliest days of the
war, and that was Washington
himself. The commander-in-ch chiefs
uniform was blue and buff, and his
stately figure predominates the color
scheme of the revolution. The combi-
nation appears to have been u favorite
with Washington. Col. Asa b. Gard
ner, who some years ago wrote learn
edly of the history of uniforms, has
contended against the opinions of some
other Investigators, that Washington's
choice was expressed in the selection of
blue and buff in the uniforms of the
"First Armed Associates of Alexan-
dria, Va, a patriotic corps, of which he
was ex-officio colonel The uniform OF
Washington's bodyguard was Il blue
coat faced and trimmed with buff, red
waistcoats and bucliskin breeches. In
1850, when, in consequence with our
alliance with France, our cash and
credit were improved, Washington con.
tinued his project of uniforrning the
army and prescribed blue and buff for
the general officers and their staffs.
When the French army came over our
troops must have looked very smart
and trim.
Whence came Washington's liking
for blue and buff which led him to
choose it for his own uniform is not
easy to trace 1t has been suggested
that the combination may have been
the colors of his own family; that it
may have been adopted with regard to
the political significance they had pos
sessed from the days of William Ill.
and the wings. The regiment that was
particularly Williams own was dressed
in blue and buff, the latter deemed a
modification of orange. Still another
suggestion is that Washington thought
in a country and at time when SO
many men wore bucllsllins or buff
leather small clothes and blue coats,
the combinatio of the two colors could
be easily and economically made in a
uniform. However we may regard
these theories, the fact remains that
the United States has decided to regard
the favorite colors of Washington as
the colors of the Americen cause. The
colors that We're good enough for
Washington are good enough for all
Americans to wear on a patriotic occa.

The choice Of food for milk varies as
the purpose Of the milk may. There
are some cheap foods that will make
fairly sound milk for selling, but are
not SO good for butter, as the color is
not deep enough for the best quality Of
butter. Such foods are buckwheat
bran with wheat middlings, or ground
wheat. or oats, or both mixed. Wheat
bran is also good milkmaking feed.
For buttermaking there is no single
grain food that is better than corn
meal finely ground or mixed with peas
and both ground together Linseed
meal is good food for milk alone, but
IT makes an inferior, soft and light
colored butter. Cottonseed meal is bet
ter for buttermaking. The quantity of
these foods to be given is only to be de-
.;ided upon by test of the ability Of
each COW to dispose of them with profit
