have been introduced into the family
with serious results. The physician
states that experiment has shown that
if milk be heated to the temperature
of boiling water all disease germs
will be killed This heating can lie
readily accomplished by means OF 4

Valuable results are reported from
systems of cure that call for light and

the testimony of DR.. Charles f. Page,
of Boston, the most successful sana-

The thuaderhcads, high white pin
nacieS OF cloud. are Of two types. The
first type, known as heat clouds, are
small in size, looking like puffS of
steam, and may melt in the intense
heat without causing shower. While
they indicate 4 thunderstorm tenden-

nearer than hundred miles. The
true thunderheadS, which result in
such storms nearby, are narrow at
the top. have some Stratificaticn at
their bases, and are from ten to tif-
teen degrees in width. They form all
around the horizon, and not i'll small

The remarkable discovery Of large |
subterranean beds of ice, OF undoubt- |
ed glacial origin, was made some time !
ago by Baron Toll, and the last issue |
of the Bulletin Of the Russian Geo |
Sraphical Society contains memoir |
I by him describing these old fossils and |
giving several Photographic reproduc-
tions OF their appearance. He found |
them on the great Lyakhof Island OF |
New Siberia il seventy-four degrees
north latitude. These beds Of ice |
undoubtedly Gate from the glacial
period and contain branches, roots and
other remains os frees which do not
now grow above seventy degrees OF
north latitude. They are covered with
several layers Of soil. The ice has
apparently been preserved by the per-
mancnt and perhaps increasing cCld OF
this region.
