CARNAGE At BUSHMANS kOP 1HE
WORST OF THE WAR.

Boer Trap Was Most Ingenious and tho
Wonder Is That a Single Britisher 1Is-
caned-Inclfnation in England to Criti-
else Commanders for Ignorance of the
Proximity of the Enemy.
BUsHMANs KoP, Sunday, April H.
The Beers, who were hidden in the
spruit when the British guns were cap
tured yesterday, were commanded by
Reichman, Decentralization. They
are still holding the waterworks and the
line of hills behind them.
Following the scouts Of General
French's cavalry division to the scene
of battle this correspondent witnessed
one of the most terrible spectacles Of the
war. Horses lay stiffened in the various
attitudes of sudden death and mingled
among them'were CHASTITY human bodies
with the wrecks Of wagons and food
and forage scattered wide. Everything
told terrible tale of surprise and car
mage. 1t would be impossible to con-
oeive anything more ingenious than the
Boer trap, and the only wonder is that
q single man escaped.
sceae Of Friehtful Confusion.
When the convoy was first attacked a
scene of frightfM confusion followed.
The mules stampeded and the wagons
were overturned, while the concealed
enemy poured in q we'll directed fire
until they seemed disinclined to con-
tinue the slaughter and called on the
British to surrender. In the meantime
b battery, which had come up under
heavy fire, wheeled into action and be-
gan Smelling the Beers with the four re-
manning guns. The Beers confess that
this battery accounted for five killed
and nine wounded Of their losses.
Early in the afternoon the Beers COL
lected about the convoy, began remov-
ing the guns and wagons and permitted
the collection of the British dead and
wounded Our actual casualties were
less than had been expected.

The zinc smelters have been steadily

action is forcing the mine owners to

Purposes of British Government
Made Plain by Chamberlain.
NURSERY OF CONSPIRACY.

Birmingham, England, May II
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, presided at the an
nual meeting of the grand committee
of the Liberal Unionists of Birming
lam, the occasion being his first
appearance here since the outbreak of
the war. Turning to the question of
condition of affairs in the South
african settlement and the fate OF the
republics, Mr. Chamberlain said: SIT
is premature to discuss details, but 1
am quite ready to take the opinions Of
the country. and, above all, the opin-
ions Of those self-governing colonies,
which have come so Inagnifcent1y to
our assistance. While the government
does not wish to be vindictive, they
are determined that never again shall
the republics be a nursery of con-
spiracy, and they will see that justice
is done to those who are determined to
be loyal. The government is not pre-
pared to recognize the independence of
the BOer republics (cheers); and we are
determined that the republics shall be
finally incorporated under the British
flag. For an interval there must be a
crown colony, such as India is; but we
hope they will event lally become a
great self-governing colony like Can
ada and Australia

MILK COAGULHItOH.
Small Differences May Bring succe
 or Failure.

Small Differences May Bring Success
 or Failure.
 Before the meeting of the French Academic des Sciences paper by Dr. Pages was read relating to the varia- tions in the latent period necessary for the coagulation of milk-that is to say, the time which elapses between the ad- dition of the substances which cause coa gulation and the qualification of the mass.
 Under normal conditions, and conse- quently outside the sphere of adultera- ton, the pericd varies to a considera- ble degree. As regards animals of the same species, the causes of the varia- bility may be due to the animal itself, or to its hygienic surroundings, or to its food, or to influences acting on the
 milk after it has been drawn. As re- gards the influence of age, the milk of a young animal will coagulate in shorter period than that of an adult animal. In other words, young milk coagulates sooner than old milk, and this difference increases on boiling.
 In general recently secreted milk also
 coagulates more quickly than milk
 which has remained some time in the milk bag. Similarly the milk which is drawn last coagulates sooner than that
 which Is first obtained.
 Regarding the effect of food stuffs
 on the subject in question, there are some which produce milk of extreme sensibility to the action of coagulating substances. Such are many artificial foods, beet root and bran, but especial ly lucern. and its aftermath even more than its first cut. On the other hand, other foods have the opposite effect. Such are many species of meadow grass and hay and forage of d fruites- cent or arborescent nature. .n To exemplify our foregoing remarks the following instance Is given: Two Normandy cows calve at the same pc riod. One COW is fed in the Erie dis trict near Paris on green lucern and bran and the other on the fine herbage of the permanent pasture of Norman dy. The result is q considerable dffer- ence in the latent period of coagulation of the two lots of milk obtained. Skilled Normandy dairy farmers have tried. without success, to make Erie cheese at home even when those coag-
 ulating substances which are success fully employed in the Erie district have been transferred to Normandy without delay and used under the most favor able conditions. The milk would not
 coagulate sufficiently quickly at the l relatively low temperature, which is Al. ..s~l.. ..~ Al ,F,,s. | ture of Erie cheese. The material. for | instance, which easily coagulatcs the l evening milk within a few hours of ] Sucy, near Paris. will require the whole I night to have the same effect at a vil- lage near Cherbourg. with the result I that spontaneous qualification acts | more or less on the milk before it coag- ulates.

Cheese Two Hundred Years Old. .


 One of the most peculiar bridal or marriage customs known is one that has prevailed for centuries in what is called the cheese regions" of Switzer- land, says Demorest's Magazine. In that portion of the Alpine country when pair join in wedlock 1t is the fashion of their intimate friends to buy register cheese for the young couple. The cheese is presented to the newly welded people on the even ing of the wedding day and is ever after retained by them as family register. On these heirloom cheeses the whole history of the family is cary ed, such as births, marriages, deaths and other incidents which it may be desired to make matters of record. Some of these old Swiss family cheese records are said to date back to the middle of the seventeenth century. At the agricultural fair annually held at Gessenay great many cheese records have been exhibited which were known 10 be from iS0 to 200 years old. The oldest that has yet been displayed belongs to country squire living near GesSeEay. who shows his family rec ord carved on a cheese made in 1860.
