.TUBERCULIN TEST.
Interesting Experiment Conducted
at Storrs Agricultural College In
COnnecticut-F0urC Cows Used.

, .rrs TO- $50 -. E sET
= An interesting experiment has been
conducted recently at the Storrs agri-
cultural college in Connecticut, where
four cows have been under observa-
ton, says the Utica Herald. They
were subjected to the tuberculin test
in March, 1896. and did not respond.
In the next October they were tested
again and all four responded. They
were then placed in light, airy stable
where it is estimated each cow had
1900 cubic feet of space. They were
tested again in January, 1897, and all
four again responded. The following
April another test brought responses
from only two and the other two
showed no reaction whatever. In July
of the same year still another test was
made and there was no symptom in
dicating the presence of tuberculosis
in any of the four. For two years
their milk was fed to eight healthy
calves, only one of which contracted
the disease, and in, that instance it
appeared six months after it had
stopped drinking the experimental
milk, so that in all probability tuber-
culosis came from some other cause.
These are the facts as scientifically re-
ported. Veterinary surgeons, dairy
men and farmers generally can draw
their own inferences

lions in Sick Room.

Physicians and laymen are deeply
puzzled by the peculiar case of Harriet
Clark, a 13-year-old girl, living at the
home Of her uncle, Joseph Trudell, of
Calumet, Mich. Last Sunday night
she retired in apparently perfect
health. An hour later strange rap
pings and knockings began in her
room. The girl was badly frightened
and the family and neighbors were
nonplused. Those who touched her re-
ceived smart electric shocks, and the
rappings increased in violence Dr.
A. G. Macleod, a prominent and repu-
table physician, was summoned and
was unable to give relief or stop the
violent rappings, which continued
from all the parts of the room. The
girl continues in the same condition
and the rapping, which is now inter
mittent, can be heard by neighbors
for fully hundred feet. The case has
been investigated by other physicians
and many curious people, but no ex-
PLANTATION has been secured: The girl
is much alarmed and the superstitious
ones among the neighbors believe her
possessed by devil

OLD WOMAN KILLS WOLF.
Ihe Animal Attacked Her Favorite
Goat with Fatal Results
to Himself.

A story comes from Cingoulume.
France, that reverses the fable of the
wolf and the lamb. An old woman
named Ligaiard, in the commune of St.
Cloud, had a goat grazing near her
house, when it was set upon by wolf.
The goat was badly frightened, and in
raising its head unwittingly impaleG-
the wolf on its horns.
The dilemma of both animals was
amusing, as both wolf and goat made
desperate efforts to get free The bleat-
ing of the goat was pitiful, and the old
woman was in a state of terror. Neigh
bors came to her aid, however, and one
of them caught the wolf by the tail,
while the old woman, who had now
plucked up courage, dispatched the
mad animal with knife.
Since the encounter thetgoat has suf-
fered from a sort of St. Vitus' dance,
but the old woman feels in measure
compensated, having received 100
francs for killing the wolf. ..s= s Z.

ted to M. LIE Chatelier for analysis, and
the interesting fact was brought out
that*it was entirely different from the
Chinese porcelain. This leads to the
conclusion that the manufacture Of true
porcelain was known to the ancient.
Egyptians. To duplicate this particu-
lar kind of porcelain would require 40
parts of blue glass, so parts of fine sand
and five parts of white, clay.

a SMA III 30 US RIDE.
Thrilling Demonstration Of Ability
to Run an Engine.
Pulls Throttle Wide Open and Goes
Tearing Down Road Like the
Wind-Steam Gets Low and
& Prevents Disaster.

~ can run an engine, like papa, :
said three-y ear-old Fred Evans, as he
was lifted down from the locomotive
of the st. Johns air line at: Albina,
Ore, the other day. He had mounted
the engine at st. Johns, pulled open
the throttle and remained on the seat
alone on a mad ride of ten miles The
young engineer is the son Of w. B.
Evans, of st. Johns, an engineer on
the line. He had often been on the
engine and the father had explained
to him how the lever is pulled and the
wheels started moving.
The engine lies over an hour at st.
Johns, and during this time, while.
Mr.. Evans was at lunch, little Fred
mounted the seat and opened wide the
throttle. The machine was full of
coal and water and was ready for the
road. Several people saw the boy
start, but no one was near enough to
catch the engine Master Mechanic
Michael T. Brady at once began to
telephone to stations along the line.
Portsmouth and Peninsular were noti--
fed and men at these points tried to
board the engine as it dashed by. but
its speed was too great. Mr.. Brady
also notified the office at Albina, and a
party of men ran out on the line
northward to meet the wild engine e
In coming up the long. grade toward
Albina the steam died down a little.
John Woods was the first man to meet
the engine. He caught the hand rail
and swung up, but in doing so he
was dragged 80 feet. He at once
turned off the steam and the engine
slowed down and stopped. 1t was
then that young Fred made the re-
mark concerning his ability as an en-
gineer. The boy was not scared at
all, but seemed rather proud of his
feat. .-..
When the engine first dashed out of
st. Johns he was frightened, and as
he came through Portsmouth like a
shot out of gun he was yelling lusti-
ly for mamma After going several
miles further, however, he again be-
came brave and held his position on
the seat with composure, with his
hand on the lever like veteran.
