ger Agent OF the Big system.
F. A. Miller, brother of Roswell

rectors of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railroad company, has been
appointed general passenger agent of
that system defective Oct. Is, 1900 to
succeed George II. Heafford, recently
resigned. The appointment of Mr..
Miller to the head of the ST. Paul pas
senger department was not unexpected,

ing. There will be no assistant ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Miller. The
two other assistants, Messrs. Marsh
and Merrill, will continue in their old
positions.

senger officials. He began his railroad
career in 1874, and his good nature,
character anu ability have steadily ad-
vanced him in the service of the ST.
Paul system since 1888, when he en-
tered the company's employ as clerk
in the passenger department, Of which
he now becomes the head. Mr.. Miller
was born at Hartford. Pa.

Although MT. Croker has said he
 wouldn't talk any more he is still talk | ing, and his talk concerning the vote ir
 New York city which he Is going te hand over to Bryan Is big. The count
 will tell the story, but the postal-card canvass which has been conducted by the New York Herald Is perhaps as sig nificant as Croker's bluff. This canvass reached thousands of voters in twenty election districts of Manhattan and four of Brooklyn, representing both Repub- lican and Democratic strongholds. Up- on the basis of these returns the Herald figures out plurality for Mckinley in Brooklyn of 24,o0O, against 32,o00 in 1896, and of 1S,0O0 for Bryan in Manhattan, against 10000 for Mckinley four years ago. Allowing for the remainder of the municipality, this would mean almost an even division between the two can didates in Greater New York, and would give Mckinley the State by substan- tially the plurality which he should re- ceive above the Bronx.
 It will be surprising if Croker doesn't do better than the Herald's canvass in- dicates, but facts are facts, and the re- suits of the canvass are not encourag- ing to the Tammany boss.

SOME IrGH RI CTERI4.

Some of the attacks on the harmful bacteria are interesting. For instance, B. H. Hite, of the West Virginia Agri- cultural Experiment Station, has tried the effect of pressure, with the idea that milk might be made to keep if subjected to a pressure that would kill bacteria. Devising an apparatus that produced hydrostatic pressure of 45O,- 900 pounds to the square inch, he found that moderate pressures have no effect, but that milk subjected to a pressure Of from 160,000 to 224,000 pounds per square inch would keep from A to 50 hours longer than milk not treated to press ure. A pressure of 220000 pounds, if continued for an hour, would prevent milk from souring for four to six days. The time through which the pressure is continued affects the result, but no amount of pressure completely steri- lized the milk. The milk in many cases acquired peculiar tastes and odors on keeping, indicating that certain species of bacteria were killed while others were not.
 Bacteria that can withstand q press ure of 224,000 pounds are tough. They could live through a football game.
