SQUEEZING BACTERIA TO DEATH.
Pressure of Seventy Tons to the Incl
Proves Fatal.

Pressure of Seventy Tons to the Inch
Proves Fatal.
OF course, it is known that moderate
changes of pressure. such as occur IN
water passing through pumping en-
gne, for instance, are survived by
bacteria with little or no injury. 1t
does not follow. however. that higher
pressures might not prove fatal to
these organisms. The human body,
for example, endures with little diff
Guilty an increase in atmospheric pres
sure to 10 to 20 pounds. AS the pres
sure increases injury begins. and a
limit is soon reached beyond which
one cannot go and survive. Similarly
fish and plants in the ocean are
known to be sensitive to the pressure
at great depths.
To investigate the effect Of pres
sure on bacteria an apparatus was de-
vised which is remarkable for having
produced what is probably the great
est hydrostatic pressure ever reached,
over 450.000 pounds per square inch.
The particular object Of these expert
ments was to determine whether the
bacteria in milk might not be killed
by hydrostatic pressure. SO that it
would keep longer time without
souring. Moderate pressures were
first tried. but appeared to have no
effect The pressures were then in
creased and notable results were OBJ
tanned. Milk subjected to pressures Of
70 to 100 tons kept from "a to 60 hours
longer without souring than untreated
milk.
The degree to which the keeping
qualities of milk were improved ap-
peared to depend as much on the time
for which the pressure was maintained
as upon the actual pressure reached.
Pressures of 80 tons per square inch
maintained for an hour delayed the
Of milk from four to six days.
Complete sterilization Of the milk,
however, was in no case affected,
even at the highest pressures. and the
milk in many cases acquired peculiar
tastes and odors in keeping, indicating
hat certain species of bacteria were
killed while others were not.-En-

The First Presidential Mansion.

On the spot now occupied by one
of the massive piers of the Brooklyn
bridge at Franklin square, corner Of
Dover and Cherry streets. in New
York, once stood one of the famous
landmarks of the country. the first
presidential mansion and the official
residence of.George Washington while
in New York. The first executive man.
sion at No. 1 Cherry street was con-
sidered one of the finest houses in the
city. 1t was built by Walter Franklin,
a wealthy merchant. about 1910. It
was occupied at the time of Washing
toms coming to New York by Samuel
Osgood. who afterward became the
first postmaster general Upon the ar.
rival of the, Dresident-elect the man.
sion was offered by Mr.. Osgood to the
president and was forthwith furnished
for his occupancy. Congress appro-

Books Boys Should Read.

Child life, like grown life. has It's
troubles. and the refuge Is in the
| Imagination. Let the mind be exer-
cised in the best books. and the es-
cape will be into holy land. The
liking for works of the Imagination
should then be cultivated as q normal
growth, not killed as weed. Besides
furnishing us with resources for pleas
ure and an escape from care. the best
works Of the imagination are better
than most historical composition,
They make other times living and real,
and are as little likely to mislead us
as history is. which. by it's selections
and evasions. has as often been the
handmade of fclsehood as of fact
history. which so loves the mountain
peaks and so seldom touches the low
lands. In the great writer's. always
and everywhere, sin comes up for
judgment before jury Of the peers
Of the realm. and righteousness finds
in some way. not always patent to us
at first. it's reward. The writer holds
the balance even. He has gone over
the evidence for us. and his decision
is as clear as is that Of the chief JUS
tice. What do we care what the
Macbeth of Scottish history was,
when Shakespeare has drawn the
Macbeth of all the generations? The
great writer is the student of emo
tions, passions. principles. of which
wars and constitutional amendments
are only the dry recorded results

School Bell Rings by Electricity.

Near Roanoke, Ill.,, near the center
Of the state, there is school teacher
whose ingenuity might not please all
Of his pupils-that is. the indolent
ones. E. N. Wheelwright teaches a
district school, and IN a district nchool,
you know-or perhaps some city chill
dren do not know-the teacher has to
ring the bell and build the fire and
sweep the floor, unless he pays Home
ambitious boy to do it for him. But
this teacher does not have to hire
boy to ring the bell, nor does he ring
1t himself. yet, no matter what he may
be doing at o'clock in the morning,
the bell sets up cater that no boy
or girl can escape. Mr.. Wheelwright
has arranged clock which at the
proper hour sets in motion an electric
apparatus that puts the bell to ringing.
The boys Of that district have no longer
any hope that the teacher will be so
in some task that he will for
get to call school. The bell rings also
at 1o:S a. m, p. M, 2:30 p. m. and
at 1 o'clock.

CAB STAND COMPLAINED OF.
Citizens Object Because 1t il q Mem
ace to Health.

A number of citizens residing in the
vicinity Of 18th street between l. and M
streets have written to the District Com
missioners complaining of an alleged nuis-
ance which is created during the summer
months by cabs and other vehicles max
ing a stand on the west side of 18th street
between the two streets mentioned. The
residents complain particularly of cab
company which, 1t is stated, owns lot on
the east side of 18th street, but instead of
confining itself to the use of that lot, or
even to that side of the street, makes a
practice of driving its horses over to the
west side of the street during the after
noon hours and remaining there until late
at night. 1t is declared that the refuse re-
sulting is not only a nuisance but a menace
to the health Of the neighborhood, and
in justice to the taxpayers of that neigh
burhood 1t should be abated.
1.-The reason for the occupancy of the
west side of the street." the residents say
in their communication. during the after
noon is as we understand, because of the
shade. and while the humane treatment of
animals should receive favorable considera-
ton by every person. it Is not believed that
we, as residents and property holders.
should be obliged to suffer this nuisance,
inasmuch as this company has ample
ground upon which to erect sheds for the
protection of its horses
The matter viii probably be referred to
the police department for investigation and
report.
