portance to Wisconsin because of her
large dairying interests The filled
cheese industry has fourished in this
state, and has done incalculable
injury to her reputation as a cheese
producing center. Filled cheese, that
is, cheese made from skim-mik into
which foreign fat known as neutral"
has been introduced, is perhaps a
harmless article of diet, but very un-
like the full cream cheese, under whose
name it is too often masqueraded
The new law discourages the manu-
facture and sale of filled cheese by
requiring a heavy license from manu-
facturer and dealer, and insists that
when manufactured and sold it shall
be under it's true name and character
The law, perhaps, will be evaded some
what, but it will surely do much to
prevent the public from being imposed
upon In this particular way and to
ensure pure article to the purchaser
who is willing pay for it. Wauke-

Plano Players Are Heavy Weights on the

1t requires more force to sound a
note gently on the piano than to lift
the lid of a kettle. A German com
poser has figured that minimum pres

issimo is equal to 10 grams-a quarter
of a pound. Few kettle lids weigh
more than two ounces. At times a
force of six pounds is thrown upon a
single key to produce a solitary effect.
With chords the force is generally
spread over the various notes sounded
simultaneously, though a greater out
put of force is undoubtedly expended.
This is what gives pianists the wonder

commented on.

A remarkable story is told in the
New York Tribune about a curious
living barometer in a conservatory at
Plainfeld, n. j. The Indicator of

toad, whose apartment is SO arranged
that the slightest change in the density
Of the air is foretold with wonderful
accuracy. The toad was caught at Felt
vile few months ago, and Mrs Lissig-
nolo placed the little reptile in a large
glass jar. Standing at an angle in the
jar about two-thirds full OF water is
a small but perfectly formed ladder,
and upon this the toad rests continu-
ally, never moving muscle except
when a change in the weather is to oc-
cur. When the earth is dry and the
skies clear, the toad squats contented-
ly upon the topmost rung of the lad
der. just as soon as storm ap-
proaches, and many hours before. it
can be seen or felt in New Jersey, the
tree toad begins to descend in the lad
der step by step. The nearer the storm
comes the lower the toad goes, until at
close approach of the stormy weather
it sits half submerged in the water.
