Catching Flying Fish.

A sea captain tells OF his sailing in
southern seas where flying fish abound.
They would sometimes in their fight in
the night come aboard tne ship and drop
10 the deck. He had three cats that
though they were lying asleep below
would hear the sound whenever a fish
struck the deck. aud would rush up to
get it. They distinguished this from
all other sounds. The crew tried to
imitats it in various ways, but could not
deceive the cats.

cattle and other animals did fully four

miles around the corporate limits is not

impure MIX at Lorain.

DR.. A. J. Baumhart, the city's chem
ist, has secured number of samples Of
milk lately and the following is the per
cent OF butter fat found in six samples: :
3.87; 3.39; 3.13; 3.45; 4.42; 4.42 and 279
The last was surely tampered with, as
the average pure milk will contain
about Al per cent. fat.
In making cultures Of these six samp-
les the following number Of bacteria,
were found in them: 37.524, 22.S90,
4.515, $3.50, 4.7Oe and 82204. Again it
seems conclusive that No. 8 had tamp-
cred with his milk. Had he used fils-
cred water after me skinned the milk
the prospects are he would not have
been detected. If u few of these milk
men who constantly furnish poor milk
to the unsuspecting public were arrested
the prospects are that good milk
would be the only thing sold.
The milk buying and consuming
public surly owes DR.. Baumhardt a
debt OF gratitude for this information.
The Herald is not informed as to the
n0nes Of the dealers from whose these
samples were obtained and prefers not
to know, but if No. does not promptly
straighten out and furnish his custom-
ers with honest milk his name will be
published so that he may be publicly
branded for the wretch that he is.
More typhoid fever and other Kindred
diseases and more deaths among in
fants are probably caused by an i'm
pure and diluted supply of milk than
from any other cause. From the open
enemy the people have some chance
to protect themselves, but the william
who furnishes impure food of any kind
is worse than thief in the night who
steals into house for She purpose of
robbery .-Lorain Herald.
