Danish Butter.


Professor Marshall of the Michigan
Agricultural college has just returned
from three months visit to Den
mark. He says. after abiding to the
high reputation which Danish butter
has in England. THE high quality of
Denmark's butter is dependent upon
% cleanliness In milking and In all
butter making operations; ca pasteuri-
zation of the cream, which is at the
present time practically universal; 81
the rational use of starters; "a careful
supervision of feeds for milk cows; (5l
the adoption Of scientific practices in
the creameries; GO the stimulus offered
by their butter shows; ca the favora-
bic location of the country; 81 the abb
solute control of export trade" That
last item, we think. is of no small i'm
pOrtance. and If the butter and cheese
sent from this country had all been in
spected and the limitations and ladIe
packed butter and filed cheese had
been prohibited from expectation and
only the best grades sent out our dairy
product would now have had a good
reputation fairly won on its merits.

There Is something really pathetic
In the way mother butterfly builds
nest for her children. In the first
place, the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents great deal
of sacrifice, for 1t is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body. The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious,
pretty couch are protected by an equal
ly pretty coverIet made of the same
material.
These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intrieaey that is
quite curious and perplexing. Some
times a bed is made so that each sep
arate delicate hair stands upright, thus
giving the entire nest the appearance
of a little brush of downy fur. Then
again, the eggs are laid spirally round
tiny branch, and, as the covering
follows their course, the effect resem-
bles the busy tail of a fox, only the
nest is more beautiful than the brush
of the finest fox that ever roamed over
couAtry.
The building of this downy nest is
the latest earthly labor of the mother
butterfly. for by the time it is com
pleted her own delicate body is denud-
ed of its natural covering, and there
is nothing left for her to do but die,
sacrifice which she promptly and
heroically makes in the interest of the
coming butterfly generation.

what one Hear. In the Telephone

ut is very hard to realize that the
voice one hears over the telephone is
not the voice of the person who is
talking" said an electrician. chatting
about the oddities of the business. at
seems exactly like the real tones,
drawn out thin and small and carried
from a long distance by some mechan-
ical means, but it isn't. When one
speaks into the instrument, little
diaphragm, like a drumhead, begins to
vibrate, and each vibration sends a
wave of electricity over the wire. These
waves set up a mimic vibration In an
other diaphragm at the opposite end,
which jars the air and produces an
imitation of the original voice.
That's not very scientific explana-
ton, but it's accurate. The autograph
telegraph, which makes a facsimile of
handwriting, is fair parallel. You
write your message with a pen, at
tached to special electric apparatus,
and a little ink siphon at the other end
of the line exactly initiates every dot
and curve The result seems like the
real thing, but is merely first class
counterfeit. It's the same way exactly
with the voice in the phone. New Or

No play may be publicly performed

upon and agreed to by the stage cen

from the lord chamberlain. The lord
chamberlain himself does not, of

The story is told of one of these ex-

submitted to him. There used to be
an old rule that the word Heaven
should be substituted in stage lines
wherever the name of any of the per

The great cities of the world use up
an enormous number of horses every
year. and these must constantly be re-
supplied by horses from the country or
from foreign parts. 1t is stated that in
the suburbs of London alone there are
750. 900 horses in use and that 100000
horses must every year be sent into
these suburbs TO take the place of
those worn out. The city of Berlin
takes 100000 new horses every year.
A large number of the horses used In
omnibuses and on tram lines both In
England and on the continent are Inn
ported from the United States. The
horses from the United States are ship
ped from the ports of New York and
Boston to the ports Of London. Liver

number are transshipped at London for
