Filtered MIX,

William Curry, an old north Texas
dairyman, who has travelled extensive
sly abroad, says, according to the Dali
las News, that central depots where
milk is received and filtered before be-
ing taken to the consumer are now q
feature of several European cities.
Large cylindrical vessels are divided
horizontally near their centre by COM
partments containing sand of three
successive degrees OF fineness, the coar-l
sest being the lowest and as the milk
arriving from the country is. poured
through pipe into the bottom of these
vessels it rises through the sand filter
and is run of by an overflow pipe into
q cool cistern from which it is drawn
directly into locked cans for distri-
button. s
The sand is renewed each time tae
filter is used. The dirt is separated
from the milk, the number of bacteria
is reduced to one-third and an aston
ishing quantity of mucus and Shiny
matter is removed, the loss of fat be-
ing very light.

of magnets not only in normal cir,

when this is rotated the slr currents

wonders of photography. Another
novel development is the continuous
illustration of surgical operations,
kinematograph' pictures having been
taken by NJ. Doyen, distinguished
French surgeon, that show various
kinds of operations from the first cut
of the knife to the laying On of ban
dages. As it is often impossible to
make verbal descriptions so complete
as to avoid all risk of error, it is insis-
ted that such pictures will be of great
importance to students of surgery.

formed creatures have taken the place

In other parts of>the world, however
these radical changes have not yet
taken place and hippotami, elephants,
buffaloes and crocodile still occupy
extensive tracts, while in the tropics
are many creatures of the lower
orders that seem too large to belong
to the present time. In Brazil, huge
butterflies, gigantic wasps and colos-
sal locusts drive away lizards and the
smaller birds. The largest butterfly
known as the Agrippins, measures
more than q quarter. of a yard be.

and the giant locust of Northern
Brazil is four inches long with a

It appears that the first work OF
the Liverpool School Of Tropical
Medicine is to be an attempt to free
certain localities from malaria by
novel method. Major Ronald Roses
observations in India tend to show
that human malaria is not conveyed
by the domestic mosquitoes, those OF
the genus Culex, but by those OF the
genus Anopheles, and that the latter
unlike the former, are seldom found
in artificial collections of water, but
ouly in natural ponds and puddles.
The suppression of the dangerous mos
quitoes depends upon whether their
breeding places are sufficiently iso-
lated and rare. An expedition to
West Africa is to make inquiries into
this subject, and it is hoped that the
destruction of the mosquitoes and
preventing of malaria may require
simply the inexpensive removal OF 9
few small pools.

The singular exploding bean OF
Batavia. upon which French botan-
ist has lately had opportunity to re.
port is like cigar in form and color,
but only about an inch long. The
strikingly energetic manner with
which it scatters its seedsis its un-
ique characteristic. Thrown into water
it rests quietly for two or three min
utes ten vxplodes with 8 noise and
splash suggesting small ftorpedo;
ripened thoroughly on the plant, it
scatters its seeds forcibly but with 2
slghter noise; and when piucked be-
fore maturity and ripened IN warm
spot, it splits open gradually and
without noise. The phenomena are
due TO the hard outer shell and the
moisture absorbed by the porous in
ner tissue.

What would you have done If the

said; but one thing is sure, we could
not have kept up the fight much
