Olothine for Miloh Cows

A few days G the residents of the
Iouthern portion of the county had
their attention directed to a herd Of
thirty-6ve cows which were being driv.
en- out Mission road to San Mateo Coun.
ty. On each of the animals was a GOV.
ering consisting Of four ordinary bar
ley sacks sewed together. The blanket
was fastened by cords to the legs Of
the cows and tied about the neck. Tha
cows belonged to koostri Brothers Of
the Holstein dairy, ear the Five-Mils
house. They were being driven to a
ranch in San Mateo County, about five
miles south of COlma, neal the ocean
shore. George Koostri, one of the own.
ers of the cows, said the idea was COM
non In the cold countries of Northern
Europe. ."The ranch we own In San
Mateo County" he said, lis situated
very close to the ocean. The climate Is
cold. The breezes which blow from
the sea are very penetrating. Our cows
would be chilled and we would be I'M
able to allow them to pasture If we did
not provide them with some covering,
to resist the cold, In some of the Eu.
ropean countries the cows are blanket
ed in the winter months and kept In a
large Enclosure. They are not allowed
out, but are fed In a stable. This lasts
In some places from Nov. 1 to May l.
We have thirty-fve cows out on the
ranch. Every n wear a blanket,
which will not be removed until they
return to the city, about three months
from now. The climate here is much
warmer in comparison to what it Is
along the seashore in San Mateo. The
people who watched us driving the
herd to the ranch thought that the COWS
were sick. They were very healthy. I
a assure you."-San Francisco Ex

perns,ual Motion,

Perpetual motion has been the dream
Of the inventor almost ever since the
Hpst invention Of any kind was per-
fected. Pliny says that In his time
there were machines which the inven-
tors claimed would work. without stop
ping, for an indefinite length Of time,
and in the patent ofice of every gov
eminent Of the world there are hum
dreds Of devices for securing this end.
One authority states that in the patent
office at Washington there are over
1000 such APPLIANCES, for each Of which
the inventor hoped success. The per-
petual motion machines. however. have
never succeeded. and never will until
men succeed In overcoming friction,
the inertia Of matter and gravltation
and also in finding material that viii

A singular accident, the cause Of
which IL somewhat obscure, occurred
recently In Brooklyn, New York. Two
men were busy in a steam engine fac
tory breaking up an old brass ''plun-
GER from the water cylinder of a
steamship. The plunger vas two feet
long and six inches in diameter, and
its walls were five-eighths of an Inch
ihtck. 1t was first placed in a red-hot
oven to soften the metal. Then one of
the men struck 1t q violent blow vita
a sledge hammer. 1t exploded with q
noise like the discharge of a cannon
The workmen were so badly mangled
that both were compelled to undergo
amputation, one losing both legs ami
the other one leg. The accident was
ascribed to the absorption of moisture
Ii the pores of the brass. and the sub
sequent turning Of the moisture into
steam by the sudden heating in the
oven. The blow of the hammer, 1t was
thought, released the pent-up force OF
the steam, and thus caused the explo
sion.

The fact that wealthy corpora

that the road and the bridge across the
