thought he would give him the black

says the Children's Record, he gave the

was nimbly supplanted by another

HOW MILK IS ANALYZED.
Process That Is Neither Difncult MOI
Complicated.

A Process That Is Neither Dimcult Nor
Complicated.
The chemical analysis of milk Is not
complicated nor difficult. First the
chemist weighs a small dish, cup or
saucer, and carefully notes down the
result in ounces, grains and fractions
of grains. Next he pours in some milk
to be analysed and again carefully
notes down the result. By subtracting
the weight of the dish from that Of
both the weight of the milk is found
and recorded. Next. the receptacle Is
placed over a steam jet, which evapo
rates the water of the milk. leaving
only the residue or solids" Again the
dish and its contents are weighed. and
by simple calculation the percentage
of solids is found.
The solids" Of the milk has been
found by innumerable analyses to aver
age about ID per cent, and, while the
fat varies in milk from different cows,
the solids left after extracting the fat
is found to be a very constant quantity,
seldom falling below 10 per cent. or
over IA. This gives the chemist posi-
tive basis for his calculations and en-
ables him to state with great certainty
whether or not the milk has been wa
tered.
| The fat or oil IN milk IS determined
by dissolving it by means of ether, the
residue remaining after such test being
termed solids other than fat" The av-
erage fat or oil found in milk from
cows is per cent and any amount less
than per cent. indicates almost to a
certainty that the milk has been
skinned. If analysis shows q decrease
Of fat, 1t indicates that the milk haa
been watered, while If fats and other
solids together are low you may infer
that the skinner has done Its work.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 5.-The answer
of the A. P. A. police commission to the
petition Of the regular board of police
and fire commissioners was filed in the
district court today. The hearing will
come up in the morning and will be in
the nature Of test of the constitution
ality OF the new law under which the
A p. A. board is acting. The petition
claims that a premeditated plan was ar
ranged by certin individuals to render
the law voind and, that to further
and prosecute the plan Mayor George
p. Bemis procured pretended injunc-
ton to be issued pretending to restrain
the city council from approving this
defendants bonds, but said injunction
was. and is illegal and void and OF no
effect and was procured with the frau
dulent purpose and design Of prevent
ing these defendants from having legal
status herein and in pursuance of the
aforesaid corrupt agreements, as de-
PENDANTS are informed and believe.
THAT the said PLAINTIFFS said suit
having been brought and served too
late to prevent the approval of said
bonds and the qualification of the de-
PENDANTS, the plaintiffs now have COM
menced this suit to further delay the de
PENDANTS herein in getting the control
OF such offices and the police force and
to hinder and delay them in the dis
charge of their duty and that the same
is brought in bad faith and without
justification.
NO TEST YET BROUGHT.
defendants further say that no pro-
ceedings have been commenced by said
plaintiffs to test the rights of these de-
PENDANTS under the said law by quo
warrantO and that the said plaintiffs
have not commenced the same; and
that the allegations in the said plain
ttffS petition that said plaintiff was
just about to, and will commence said
proceedings and pursue them diligently
are without foundation and are not
made in good faith but are made for
the purpose of deception and so that
said plaintiffs may pretend TO be act
ing in good faith in this regard"
The answer concludes: eff any dual
board of commissioners exist it will be
because said plaintiffs in violation of
law and in pursuance of a long before
preconceived plan and in pursuance
of the agreement to set aside the law
and to violate the same. will continue,
through the police force as aforesaid
wrongfully organized, controlled and
creaetd, to exercise the functions per-
tanning to said board.
'.And the defendants maintain that
the plaintiffs cannot try the cOnstitu-
tionallity of said law in the proceed
ings."

HOW ANTS KILL A SNAKE.
The Insects Torture the Reptile to Death
and Strip the Skin from the Body.


and Strip the Skin from the Body.
That ants can actually kill snakes Is
hard thing to believe. There Is ire
futable evidence however, that they do,
and scientists have discovered that the
snake has hardly a more dangerous
enemy. The large red-brown forest ant
is the sort that is the most fatal to the
ophidians, and curious thing about the
attack Of these tiny creatures on this
comparatively enormous reptile is that
they kill it for food and not on account
of any natural antipathy.
When some of the ants catch sight of
q snake they arouse the whole COM
munity at once. In platoons and bat
talions the little fellows set upon tho
reptile, striking their nippers into its
body and eyes at thousands of points at
once. So rapidly and concertedly is this
done that the snake has no chance at
all of escaping. It is like thousand
electric needles in him at once. The
snake soon becomes exhausted and dies
ANONYMOUSLY.
Then the ants set harder at work.
This may Seem strange story, but it
is true. They begin to tear off the flesh
in small pieces, gradually stripping off
the skin and working inside of it. Not
until they have carried away every
thing except the bones and the skin it.

Little more than century ago pris-

tematic brutality. That gave John
Howard his first task. Providence
made him a sufferer in his OVID per-

field - which his philanthropic i'm
pulses were to find employ ment.
Howard's pity was reused by the tales
of wretchedness he heard from Lisbon
after the great earthquake. He took
passage on the Hanover brig. with the
intention simply Of helping those un-
