SQUEEZING BACTERIA.
some Germs May BE killed by Come
preston But Others Survive
the Greatest Pressure.

To test the idea that bacteria in wa
ter or other liquids may possibly be
killed by powerful squeezing, a series
of experiments was carried out last
year by B. II. Hite, chemist Of the West
Virginia agricultural experiment sta
tion. 1t was found that while many
germs may thus be killed, some always
survived, no matter how great the
pressure; but the method seems to be
worth putting into practice. Says the
Engineering News in an editorial on
the subject:
''of course, It is known that moder-
ate changes of pressure, such as occur
in water passing through a pumping
engine, 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 difficulty
an increase in atmospheric pressure Of
10 to 20 pounds. AS the pressure in
creases injury begins, and limit 10
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 pressure
on bacteria, an apparatus was devised
which is remarkable for hav-
ing produced what is probably the
greatest hydrostatic pressure ever
reached, over 100000 pounds per square
inch. The particular object of these
experiments was to determine wheth7
er the bacteria in milk might not be
killed by hydrostatic pressure, SO that
it would keep a longer time without
souring. Moderate pressures were
first tried, but appeared TO have no ef-
feet. The pressures were then in
creased and notable results were OBJ
tanned. Milk subjected to pressures Of
10 to 100 tons kept from "a to so hours
longer without souring than untreated
milk. The degree towhich 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 90 tons per square inch
maintained for an hour delayed the
souring of milk from four to six days.
Complete sterilization of the milk,
however, was in no case effected even
at the highest pressures, and the milk
in many eases acquired peculiar tastes
and odors on keeping, Indicating that
certain species of bacteria were killed
while others were not"

DUSTY OCEAN ROADS.
Something That sounds Almost In-
credible to Those who Have
Never Sailed.

A "dusty" ocean highway sounds al
most incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that,
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed down in the morning, and
how little work of any kind may be
done during the day, nevertheless, IL
the decks are not swept at nightfall.
an enormous quantity of dust will
quickly collect. OF course, on the
modern ''liner" the burning of hun
dreds of tons Of coal every "a hours and
the myriads of footballs daily would
account for a considerable accumula-
tion of dust, but ON wind -jammer," !"
manned with dozen hands or less, NO
such dust-producing agencies are at
work. And yet the records of sailing
ships show that they collect more sea
dust than does a steamer, which Is
probably accounted for by the fact that
while the dust-laden smoke blows clear
of the steamer, the large area of can
vas spread by the sailor acts as dust
collector, says the London Shipping
Word.
li-. LIZ 4uotC an uStduCc III buppOEt OF
this contention, we may mention that
no less than 241s barrels of fine dust
were swept from the decks of an Amer
lean sailing ship during % days voy-
age from New York to San Francisco.
The captain Of this vessel, a man Of
scientific tastes, made careful observa-
tions on the mystery of sea dust. but
beyond the wear and tear of the sails
and rigging, quite negligible factor,
he could assign absolutely no percept-
ible cause for the formation Of dust
ON board his ship. 1t has been asserted
that the dust which falls on the decks
of vessels emanates from the interstel-
lar spaces, This sounds both scientific
and plausible, but it is at variance with
certain known facts. Bits of leather,
cork, wood and vegetable fiber are al
most always present in sea dust, the
presence of which would seem to in
iicate that at sea, as on land,
The earth Of dusty to-day
Is the dust Of an earthly tomorrow.
However this may be, of the fact of
the steady and constant deposition OF
dust on the decks Of vessels while at
sea there is no possible room for doubt,
but, so far, all attempts TO solve the
mystery Of its origin have failed.
