Great Damage nv Lightning.

Some recent estimates place the loss
10 electric companies due to lightning
at between 100000 and $45O,OOO annu-
ally. Many forms of lightning arrest
ers have been devised to safeguard cleo
trical machinery by carrying off light
ming discharges % the ground, but none
offer absolute protection under all con-
ditions. Usually number of these in
struments are placed on every long
transmission line, some at the station
and others along the line. The func-
tion of the lightning arrester in any
electric installation is to relieve the
conductors of any excessive electric
potential difference that may exist be-
tween them and the earth, and at the
same time prevent an excessive over
flow from one conductor to the other
should there be simultaneous dis
charge over any two conductors differ
ing in potential.

RlPENlNG OF CHEESE.
The Changes Which Usually Occur
During the Process.

The Changes Which Usually Occur
During the Process.
A well-cured cheese contains a higher
percentage of fat than the same cheese
does when green, and this gave rise to
the idea that the action of rennet, or of
the fermentation process, caused GER
tain of the constituents of the cheese
to be converted into fat. Partly with
the object of testing this theory, DR..
Caldwell has undertaken an investiga-
ton of the changes which occur in the
curing of cheese. The course pursued
was to take several green cheeses fresh
from the hoop, analyze the same, and
then keep them in air-tight receivers
to cure. By daily examination of the
air i'll the receivers, everything that was
given off from the cheese, or absorbed
by it, was traced and noted.
Without going into minute details,
it will be enough to say, in brief, that
the examination of the air in the re-
ceivers showed that the cheeses all
alike rapidly gave off carbonic acid and
water, and as rapidly absorbed oxygen,
in the early stages of curing, but after
ward this steadily diminished. The
weighing showed steady loss in the
total dry substance of the cheese from
oxidation, and loss in the total of each
solid constituent-fat and casein-and
that the casein lost more than the fat,
thus leaving the fat in the cured cheese
in larger proportion than in it's green
stage, and demonstrating that the in
creased percentage of fat in the ripe
cheese over that in it's unripe condition
was not due to any increase of fat in the
curing process, but to a greater loss OF
casein than of fat by oxidation.-C. G.

A single tree through its leaves is ca

MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla has won its way
to every corner of the world by the praise
of its friends; those who have tried il and
who know they were cured by the use of
the remedy. There is nothing so strong
as this personal testim ony. II throws all
theories and fancies to the winds and
stands solidly upon the rock of expert

with its purifying and vitalizing action on
the blood is q radical remedy for every
form of disease that begins In tainted or
impure blood. Hence tumors, sores,
ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis
eases yield promptly TO this medicine.
Some cases are more stubborn than others,
but persistence with DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla usually results in a complete cure.
Mary Lingard began with bottle, and
went on to course of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla. When she was cured she realized
that medicine that could cure disease
could also prevent it. So she took a couple
of bottles each spring and kept in perfect
health. There are tn ousandS of similar
cases on record. Some of these are
gathered into DR.. Ayers Curebook, a little
book of 100 pages which is sent free by the

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

II Is NOT a common occurrence that a
friendly word should be the means of CIV
ing nearly forty years Of happiness and
health to the person needing the advice it
carried: This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days In misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it, and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me

living as tailoress, but for FIVE years,
between the pain in my side and the
blisters was in constant misery, and
work was drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however, a

saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take
a regular course Of it. When 1 first com

MARVELLOUS INVENTION.
The SynchrOnOgraph Transmits 1900
Words Minute.

Words a Minute.
Prof. Crehores synchronograph
seems likely to revolutionize the meth
ods of telegraphy and telephony. The
idea of the synchronograph originated
in 1895, when Prof. Crehore used the
alternating current in an unprotected
state at Dartmouth college and sent
and received words at the rate of 800
a minute. Since then machines have
been perfected which will send and
record 1000 words minute.
The result of the experiments made
shows that the use of an alternating
electromotive force, which rises gen.
orally from zero to maximum and
falls again to zero as gradually, is the
best kind of wave for use on actual
lines with disturbed capacities. The
substitution of the synchronogrph
for the Wheatstone transmitter On
identical lines, using the same receiver
in each instance, showed a speed of
operation by the synchronograph about
threefold faster, provided the mechan-
ical limit of the receiver was not al
ready reached.
The causes of this great increase of
speed are differences in the waves
which pass through the receiver, since
the only way by which the identical re-
ceiver can distinguish between trans
mitters is by differences in the actual
waves received. The waves of current
passing through the receiver, which
control its operation, are not of the
same shape as the electromotive force
waves of the transmitter. The current
waves received from the synchrono-
graph are not true sine waves in the
receiver, even though the electromotive
force is truly harmonic, but the fire.
quency is the same as that of the gen.
orator and the waves are of equal
lengths.
The current wave from an alternator
may approximate a sine wave very
| closely if the elcctromotive force is
harmonic, and in fact if there is no Leak
age on the line it will be truly har-
monic; or under some circumstances it
may still be harmonic, provided there
is correct relation between the leak

THE FARMING WORLD.
COMFORT For COWS.
Animals That Are Well Treated II

Animals Tnnt Are wen treated ne
turn the Kindness.
After milking in the way the average
farmer docs for number OF years, in an
open lot, with straw stack for shelter,
and concluding that if COW house
would not be paying investment it
would at least add very much to the
comfort of both cows and mixer, we
built one this fall. 1t is not an elaborate
or costly affair, and is within the reach
of almost any farmer who keeps few
cows. If there is anything more eX-
asperating than milking restless COW
in a muddy lot, 1 have failed to find it.
It not only tries the patience, but in
jures the health and at least part of the
cows feed is wasted.
But started to tell you about the
COW house. 1t is 40 feet long and IL
feet wide with shingle roof. The stalls
are little less than four feet wide, and
there is room for nine cows, and a place
to store feed. Milking, which has al
ways been burden, is now pastime;
each cow knows her place and the
weather does not interfere with milk
ing time. We have broken three heifers
without any clubs or profanity. Two
or three weeks before calving they
were put in the COW house, taught to
stand tied, and fed regularly with the
right kind of feed, and gave no trouble
either with calving or milking.
The total cost, labor included, was
less than $50. The interest on that sum
at ten per cent. would only be five dol
lars, and it does seem that the saving in
feed, comfort and health ought to be
worth that. The dairy business does
not seem to be very encouraging at
present, but it gives n regular income,
and there is generally a demand for a
good article Of butter; and with lot OF
thrifty pigs to utilize the waste prod.
ucts, there ought to be some profit in
