WHY MILK TURNS SOUR.
Lightning's Flash Frequently Causes .
Change In Its Elements.

Lightning's Flash Frequently Causes .
Change In Its Elements.
1t Is Well known that sweet milk will
turn suddenly sour during thunder
storm and the fact Is recognized that
lightning is the cause of the change
Few. however understand why this
phenomenon occurs. 1t Is not always
the lightning that causes it, for the
heat before the storm is often great
enough to make the milk ferment. But
lightning can and sometimes does
make milk turn sour by it's action on
the air. Air, as everybody knows, Is
composed Of two gases-oxygen and
nttrogen-but these gases are mixed
together. not combined. Lightning,
however, makes the gases combine in
the air through which it passes, and
this combination produces nitric acid.
some of which mixes with the milk
and turns it sour Perhaps it might
be we'll TO explain the chemical differ
ence between mixing and combining.
When different ingredients are put to-
gether without their undergoing any
chemical change they are mixed, as,
for example, grains of san of various
colors may be mixed in a uOttlc. But
when the property of each ingredient
is altered by the union there is a COM
bination, as. Cor example. water poured
on quicklime, which combines with 1t,
so that the property Of each Is altered
Thus it is that lightning makes the
oxygen and nitrogen OF the air COM
hine and the resuit'is no longer air
but nitric acid and four other nitrous
polsons.-ChiCago Chronicle.

Wil~s OF q Poacher

The otter, used by Scottish poachers
Is one of the most deadly fishing In.
struments known. On some waters II
is far more effective than a net. II
may be described as a water-kite
which serves to take out over the
water line bearing fifty or more flies.
The otter itself is a floating piece OF
board, loaded along one edge to keen
1t upright. The poacher walks along
the side of loch or river, letting out
the hy-decorated line as he goes, the
otter board gradually working out to-
ward the center. An enormous area
OF water Is f1shed at one time, and
numbers OF fish are killed.

LOST HOUSEHOLD ARTS.
Women of To-Day Are Not Up In the Do
nestle EcoHor,,t es.

nestle Economies.
1t Is a general complaint among the
housekeepers Of England, where do.
nestle help is drawn largely from the
country villages, that on entering serv-
ice they are mostly incapable of doing
the simplest household work without
supervision and that only small pro-
portion ever learn. The reason Is not
far to seek. A couple OF generations
ago half the cottages in England were
schools for the teaching Of the dOmeS-
Iic ats. sase gre no Longer taught
because fh@s are $40 longer practiced
Baking ard brewing. cutting out and
cutting down clothes darning and fine
drawing, the care OF poultry and eco
nomical use of food-all these will
soon be artes peditae. as far as the
cottage is concerned. Women used to
be able to make their husbands shirts
Give nine cottage women out Of ten
nowadays a couple of dozen yards OF
calico and they could no more turn it
into shirts than they could turn d
lump of pig iron into a dining knife.
Cooking. even in its simplest form. is
being supplanted by the use of timed
provisions. To boil potatoes and ba
con or to fry bit of meat In the pan
Is about as much as the housewife can
do. Women Of the type of Ljsbeth
Bede have been discouraged out of eN-
istence. Tne cottage woman of today
has her pride, but It Is not in the
home. She slaves to save her girls
from what she and they alike have
learned to regard as degrading Grudg
ery-the necessary work Of a house
All she can save goes on their backs
Look at them when they go out" she
says; you couldn't tell them from the
Miss Swetstones themselves But
when they go to service they have
learned next to nothing. Least of all,
have they learned to learn-Chicago

the request that he SHOULD promise
