IMMUNE TO ELECTRICITY.

1T is a singular fact" said an cleo
trician of this city, that the human
body is capable of becoming more or
less Injured to shocks from live wires.
suppose the average scientist would
scout the idea, but what | say is borne
out by everyday experience The
employees of a big electric light works
for instance, are continually receiving
shocks that would disable an ordi-
nary man, but are apparently none
the worse for the experience.
Il remember some time ago couple
of young fellows came in contact acct
dentally with a live wire at a manu-
factory here in town, and both re-
ceived exactly the same current One
of them was helper around dynamo
and had met with mishaps of that sort
before. He was knocked off his feet
and momentarily stunned, but was all
right in less than two minutes. The
other man, who was a stranger, fell
over as il struck by lightning, and it
was fully half an hour before he
showed the least signs of returning
consciousness. He was laid up several
days, and, oddly enough, was much
the more powerful, physically, of the
pair.
Il have known several cases Of prac-
tically the same sort. The motormen
on the street cars frequently get the
current, as they call 1t, especially in
rainy weather, when wet wood be-
comes a conductor. They tell me they
don't mind ii much after the first few
times. 1t is certainly difficult to I'M
derstand how repeated shocks can
fortify the system against the mysteri-
Gus fluid, but the fact is as state. III

\ circular describing n Hydraulic
cream separator" was recently sent to
the experiment station by farmer
who wrote that he and some OF his
ncighhors would like to know the re-
suits of careful tests OF the separator
and any data on the subject regarding
this method OF cream raising. In
answer the varsity folks declare that
this soecalled separator is simply
painted tin can with n funnel shaped
tube on one sido. Milk Ia poured into
the can through the top cover and
water through the funnel. This mix
ture OF equal parts milk and water Ia
allowed to stand from 30 to GO min
utes, and then the skim milk Ia drawn
of through faucet near the bottom
OF the can, What Ia drawn on appears
to he II very thin skim milk, but as II
is more than half water, considerable
cream is required to make II even look
like skim milk, A great many trials
OF this dilution method Of cream rails
Ing have been made at experiment
stations Prof Wing of Cornell has
tried three different kinds of apparatus
devised for this purpose, He did not
get nearly SO complete n separation of
cream with any Of them as was OBJ
tanned by the centrifugal separator,
the shallow pan or the deep setting OF
the milk in cold water, At Ave farms
where these dilution methods of
cream separating were used the skim
milk tested from 6G to l,20 per cent,
fat, At 40 farms whore milk was set
in shallow pans the average test OF
the skim milk was 80 per cent. fat,
and at 30 farms where deep setting Of
the milk In cold water was prncticod
the average test Of the skim milk was
; per cent fat. Dairymen should
know that these dtlution soparators
are not so efficient MS the methods or
dinarily used for Swimming milk at
