An instrument for detecting sounds
at sea was invented by DR.. Joseph
Schmidt of the Island Of Anticosti.
They hear much of wrecks on Anticos-
ii, and the question of saving life at
sea is paramount one. Anticostl Is
ice.bound five months out of the year,
and DR.. Schmitt, during one OF these
periods of enforced retirement from
the world, set about inventing sound
Indicator, building it with his own
hands from such material as he COULD
find on the island. 1t consists prim-
arily of a hood in which the operator
stands listening for distant sounds
which are collected in funnel fixed
lust above the hood. There is dia-
phram in the tunnel and leading down
therefrom, two rubber tubes which are
adjusted to the ears of the listener.
There is also mariners compass rest
ing under the funnel to let the listener
know which direction the funnel is
pointing when it records sound. DR..
Schmitt made his first instrument from
a dry-goods box which he used for
hood, a pair of old stethoscope tubes
and piece of tin bent into the form OF
a funnel. Yet it worked successfully
from the start. Sounds which could
not be detected by the unaided ear, or
If audible, were lost as to direction,
were instantly located by the direct
or, it's value on shops and in light
houses is undeniable, as the throb-
bling of vessel may be heard with it
when is is not possible to detect 1t
with the ear unaided.-H. II. Lewis, in

Experiments on the effects of pas
tcurzation of cream and milk in but
tcr-making made in April and May at
the New Jersey station are summar-
lied as follows:
There was less los of fat in the
SKIM mill; from pasteurizing the whole
milk before separating.
There was less volume of cream from
pastcurized milk, but the cream was
| richer.
by using n starter after cooling there
was no difficulty in ripening the cream
from pasteurizcd milk.
The pasteurizcd cream churncd in
tess time than the raw cream.
The yield of butter per 1000 pounds
of milk was 0.S0 pound greater from
the mpaStcurized milk.
All the trials Indicated that butter
from pastcurizcd milk had better
keeping qualities, although when first
made there was little or no difference
IN the quality.
PaStcurized skim-milk kept sweet
twenty-four to forty eight hours longer
| than the Skim-milk from the separator
where the whole milk was not heated
| to 100 degrees. c. b. Lane.

A New Fuel.

Experiments are being made in Rus
sia with a new fuel. "petrolized peat
Ordinary peat is imprcgnated by spe-
cial methods with crude petroleum or
with petroleum residue. The product
is said to be impermeable to moisture
and does not absorb it even after be-
ing left in water; it does not dry to a
powder like common peat, and its
heat giving value is almost equal to
that of coal This process, says LEcko
des Mines (Paris), which reports It,
may give new value to French peat
deposits. Berlin has gone back to
peat for fuel. and nowadays we must
neglect nothing. THE trouble is" it
goes on to say. that, although we
have such great quantities of peat in
our country. we have not. as Russia
has, an abundance Of petroleum. 1t
is to be feared that in France petro-
lized neat will be a luxury Here Is
suggestion for our own country,
where there is both peat and
petroleum.

~ ROBABLY the most harrow
- ing experience that ever befcll
group Of prison officials is
that described by one of the
guards OF the Kansas State Prison
who was held captive during the re.
cent miners strike there.
In the power of reckless, mscrupu-
lous men, all condemned criminals: in
constant danger of death ut their
hands; in condition Of absolute fam
Inc and with no prospect Of obtaining
food, it is little wonder that the unfor-
tunate guards wept for joy when res
cue came.
One of these officials who suffered
Imprisonment at the bottom of the
mine has given in the I.eavenworth
Times the following spirited account
of his adventure:
You people do not realize the dan
ger that we fifteen guards We're in
while in the shalt If the end had not
come when it did one of us would have
| paid for it with his life, as it was the
intention of the convctS to kill one OF
us at time and place the body upon
the cage and send it to the top, with a
communication TO the Warden saying
that each officer would be killed and
sent to the top in this manner if he did
not accede to their demands. Fortu-
uately the arrival of the officers put an
end to that scheme.
II tell YOU we were glad to see those
c iccrs that came down after us, for
some of us were beginning to become
frightened, especially after We had
head of the plan the mutineers had
for getting rid of us.
"One of the divisions had cat mas
cot that was allowed the freedom of
the mines, and during their hunt the
starving miners ran across it. Then
began one of the most exciting races
that have ever heard of. They chased
( that cat for nearly an hour before they
succeeded in catching it. The animal
was killed. fried and eaten by the des-
pcrate miners.
THE credit Of the capture of the
mutinouS convictS Is due to Floyd
Graham, a colored man, who climbed
up The airshaft, Il distance of 12O feet.
After Graham had recovered from the
effects of his long climb he was armed
and placed in command of the eight
officers that went down after the
strikers. Upon the landing of the
cage containing the officers ut the bot
tom of the pit Graham gave the COM
mand to fire and conducted the entire
fight.
Had it not been for his guidance
the officers would probably have made
Il failure of the expedition, and eight
more officers would have been added
to the list of captures made by the
strikers.
"Floyd Graham is Il man Of about
thirty years of age, and was sentenced
to the penitentary in 1898 to serve
fifteen years on charge of burglary.
He has behaved himself since he has
been in the prison, and his record Is
that of an ideal prisoner.
"An effort is on foot to secure par
don for Graham from the Governor for
the nerve and tact he showed in cap
turing the strikers.

found by the officers" - New York

IIoof bound or contracted heels are
caused by putting horses that have
been running on wet ground, upon dry,
hard floors, cutting away or raSpinS
of the bars, heels and frog, mailing the
shoes too close to the heels, high calks,
etc. Uoof bound causes the frog be-
tween the heels to become pinched.
The sole is naturally concave. the heels
are higher than usual and the lioofs
are very hard and dry. The animal
becomes uneasy and frequently shifts
his position from one foot to another,
and later there is lamenesS also. When

A PerilOus Lesson.

The strange temptation to cast them
selves into space which assailS GER
tain persons when they look down
from high places is hard to account for
scientifically. One having this singu-
lar infirmity should not expose himself
to danger, for the impulse may sud
denly pass beyond control. In this
connection a Southern neurologist tells
the New Orleans Times Democrat Of
personal experience with Il patient OF
his.
In my younger days as a nerve spe-
cialisr, he says, it was a theory OF
mine that the impulse to hurl ones
self from height could be overcome
by education. But l had lesson, and
never experiment on such cases now.
The patient in question was big,
strapping fellow, cabinet-maker by
trade, one of the last persons, appar-
entity, to be bothered by nervous fan
cies, but he was afraid of elevations.
TO cure his tcrrors l planned that he
should look into space daily, until the
impulse to hurl himself down was out
grown.
l took him to the top of sx-story
building that had fiat roof, and told
him to lie down and look off, his eyes
just over the edge.
I'm afraid" he said. "If l look
over there shall go over sure
Nonsense" | urged. How can you
60 over when your whole body Is
stretched out along the roof? Your
head can't go without your body"
SO overcame his objections, and he
lay down. keeping his eyes closed for
minute or so. When he opened them
and looked into the street strong
shudder ran through his whole body,
but l encouraged him to hold out ana
not draw back.
Suddenly he seized the edge of the
parapet with both hands, drew his
body violently forward, flung up his
legs, and would have gone over the
edge had | not instantly flung myself
on his back. His movement seemed
convulsive and involuntary. He de-
cIared that he could not help it, and
| believe him.
We were both glad to get to the
ground, and there the mans education
in that direction ended. l have lived
over the experience in nightmare sew
eral times, and l always awake shak-
ing like an aspen.

STRONG FReNcH-cANADlkNS.
A Five Hear.Old Boy who Il Able 10 Lin
Three 1imes His own Weight.


That French, Canadians are not in
ferior to other people in physical
strength and endurance Is shown by
the remarkable number OF strong men
they have produced in recent years,
Some Of their feats Of strength have
been phenomenal and have gained for
them wide celebrity.
Probably the most notable among
! them is Louis Cyr, French Canadian
living in Montreal. who, now, nj the
age Of 81, has retired from active life,
relinquishng his title Of champion OF
the world which he held for many
years to Horace Barre, another French
Canadian. Among his most remark
able feats were raising 273 IL pounds
above his head with single hand;
raising a bar weighing 347 pounds
with his two hands above his head
without touching his body; holding at
arms length l04 pounds placing
barrel filled with water weighing ABB
pounds on his shoulders without using
his knees or his right hand: raising
from the ground with single finger
SOL pounds. His most extraordinary
feat was to raise on his back the
enormous weight Of 1865 pounds. He
is still well preserved, but has decided
to rest for the future.
Horace Barre, who has taken the
title of champion strong man Is
young FrenchC Canadian only 20 years
old. One of his feats is to raise in
each hand at arms length 240 pounds.
Besides Cyr and Barre there are
many other Professionalism who
have displayed great strength, Pierre
Simard, one of them. has Il son who Is
only five years of age and weighs only
35 pounds, but can raise three times
his own weight; with two hands he
can raise 1855 pounds and with one
hand he raises 80 pounds.-New York
Sun.
