Control the Water in Butter.

A government bulletin says that
the presence of salt, the size of the
butter granules and the hardness of
the butter are factors exerting an in
fuence on the amount of water in the
butter. Where a dry butter is de-
sired, as for export. these principles
may have considerable practical i'm
portance. By churning cream at
low temperature and continuing the
churning until the granules were as
large as peas, washing for about
thirty minutes with water at As de-
grees to As degrees, and working
twice, the Iowa station secured but
ter containing as low as 6.72 per cent
of water. OF thirty-two analyses Of
samples of butter made in this way,
seven showed less than 8 per cent
of water, from to 10 per cent,
and 10 from 10 to II per cent. 1t is
not, however, advised that export but
ter should be made with less than
from to 10 per cent of water.

No records were broken. Cornell
rowed the varsity race, four miles,
in 1868; last years record was
1858 Is. The time of the freshman
race was 9:34 As, distance two miles
the record being 9:191a In the four
cared race the time was 1913 3-5 for
two miles, the record being 10:31h.
In each contest the Cornell oars
men displayed remarkable waterman
ship. Their stroke was easy and
graceful, yet it was powerful all the
way through and the men got all of
their strength and weight into the
blades. There was no splashing, no
flukes, no catching of crabs, but an
evenness of motion that was poetry in
itself. 1t was, in fact, a series OF
easy victories. for at no time were
the Cornell crews hard pressed.

No Boxinu at Denver.


The city of Denver is once more
closed to the boxing game, and the
sports are now trying to figure out
what was the cause of it all. Some
blame it on the adverse criticism
caused by Young Corbett's fight with
Kid Broad, while others are willing
to believe that the boxers are made
to suffer for the political differences
existing between rival organizations.
The Fire and Police Board issues per
mits in Denver and therefore has the
boxing game under its control. Sew
eral times during the last few years
the board has seen fit to put the ban
on the boxers, but by some mysterious
power the club managers found a
way to get to the board and the re-
suit was the reopening of the game.
After running for a short time the
clubs were again refused permits, but
influence was brought to bear and the
board granted a permit for the con
test between Corbett and Broad
Since that time the opposition to box
ing has developed stronger than ever
and the fight between Corbett and
Dave Sullivan will have to be brought
| off in some other city.

octuplex TeIeuraphy.

Experiments have been made by
the general telegraph department Of
Germany to test the octuplex system
of topographic telegraphy invented by
the late Prof. Rowland of Johns Hop
kns University. The apparatus to be
regularly used between Hamburg and
Frankfort will shortly be installed,
1t is claimed that the octuplex sys-
tenn will permit $4,000 words per
hour to be sent over a single wire by
twenty operators. By the Hughes
system now in use in Berlin only
1900 words per hour can be dis,
patched. The sending instrument re-
sembles a typewriter, and any let
ter can be telegraphed by depressing
its corresponding key. The receiving
instrument prints the message on a
sheet of paper. not on a tape in con-
venient form for delivery by mail or
otherwise.

ARRANGEMENTS for Bio Fight.

In spite of the fact that both JEFF |
fries and FitzsimmOns are willing to |
meet on July %, according to agree
ment, the promoters are talking of |
postponing the combat in order to
insure larger financial returns. The
affair has already been matter of so
much doubt that it would seem de-
sirable to bring it off according to
schedule, as will likely be done.
The only reason for making a post
ponement is the fact that there will
be a convention of lodge men in San
Francisco in august, and that the
chances for a crowd will be better at
that time The subject has twice
been brought up. The first time it
was decided to bring the men togeth-
err July 25, which was the date chosen
in the last set of articles signed by
the fighters. The idea Of delaying
the fight came up again last week.
The thought that special rates to
San Francisco would prevail at that
time and that there would be larger
crowds in the city seems to be quite
a point in deciding the date of the
bout. It has been practically decided
to let the original date stand. JEFF
fries and Fitzsimmons have already
been training for several weeks and
have worked with the idea of meeting
July %. Possibly for financial rea-
sons it might be better to make
postponement, but there has been so
much planning for the battle for the
championship that the average man
would rather know that there will be
no further delay.
One interesting point in the contest
among the heavy weights has appar-
emily been settled. 1t is that Jim Cor
bett will again sally forth as a chal-
lenger and try to win back the title
he lost to Fitzsimmons more than
nve years ago. According to reports,
Corbett has been promised a match
both by Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, the
arrangement being that the winner is
to fight Corbett at San Francisco
about month after the contest.
If this is so it will add interest tc
the heavyweight bout. Although Cor
bett may not be counted as a prob
able champion, he is always acknowl
edged to be a marvellous boxer
which leaves any fight he engages il
an uncertain one.
In the training quarters at Skaggi
Springs and Hardin Springs Jeffrie
and Fitzsimmons are simply attending
to business. Both are in good cor
dition, although neither has done any
thing in a hurry. The training perio
is long enough to give them chanc
to work gradually down to the bes
fighting point Fitzsimmons now ha
George Dawson of Chicago as an &C
wiser, having been recently joined b
the man from the Chicago Athleti
Association. Dawson is good advi!
er, and it was planned long ago tha
he should be with Fitzsimmons q
the time of the battle.

Steam VS.. Electricity.

In a paper read before the Society
of Civil Engineers of Canada Mr.. c.
H. Davis has studied the advantages
of electric traction and concludes:
First-That in the near future
steam railways will adopt electric
traction for suburban traffic no mat
ter whether the new service is more
expensive or not.
Second-That for long distance
transport of heavy freight, steam will
continue to be the motive force.
Third-For the quick transport of
passengers between great centers of
population even when widely sep
arated, electric engines will be used,
since they travel at much greater
speeds than steam motors, and pre-
sent certain distinct advantages of
comfort.

Chess Notes.


A new chess club has been organic
ed at Titusville, Pa.
1t is said that Janowski and Schlec-
ter may shortly play a match at Carls-
bad, Germany.
A correspondence chess match Of
twenty-seven boards a side has been
begun between Mississippi and Texas.
The recent Geographic chess match
between the Rochester and Syracuse
chess clubs results in a victory for
the former by score of 615 to IL.
An exchange states that fourishing
chess clubs have been established at
Constantinople, Beirut, Syria and
Djibouti on the Red Sea. The first
named club has the title of exchequer
orientale and meets at the Pera pail
ace.
Max Judd of st. Louis has signified
his willingness to participate in a
western championship tournament to
be held in Chicago, with a first prize
of $3.50, and number of leading Chi
cago players have agreed to enter
such tournament. If officials of the
local club succeed in getting up this
tournament there is little likelihood
of many Chicago players competing in
the tournament to be held under the
auspices of the western chess associa-
ton at Lake Minnetonkag Mimi, Aug.
40, with prizes of 500. $40. $40 and

Meteoric Electricity.

We now know quite accurately the
nature of lightning and the method
of production of the enormous electri-
cal pressure exhibited by the flash.
When clouds are formed by the con-
densation of very minute drops of
water from the vapor in the air, un-
der certain conditions these drops ex-
hibit a small electrical charge. AS
the drops coalesce the capacity in
-cTeases less rapidly than the quantity
of charge, for the reason that two
drops of equal size, when they flow
together, produce one of only slight
ly larger diameter, and the capacity
is determined by the diameter. On
this account the drops formed by the
flowing together of the small mist
particles, long before they attain such
size as to be precipitated as the rain,
acquire an electrical charge of enor'
nous voltage, sufficient often to leap
a distance of mile through the air,
This must correspond with pressures
only to be indicated by millions OF
Volts.-Electrical Review.

Liaht on PRECIOUS Stone.

1t is known that violet light from
an electric arc lamp excites fuores-
cence in the diamond. M. Chaumet
has proved that an intimate connec-
ton exists between that property of
the diamond and the lustre exhibited
in other artificial lights, especially
the light from candles lin which the
diamond shows to the greatest ad-
vantage). The diamonds that send
out the most vivid rays are not al
ways those which are the most regu-
larly cut, but are such as, examined
by violet light, show greatest fluores-
cence. While diamonds that do not
fuoresce simply show violet when so
Illuminated, the most brilliant stones
fluoresce strongly with a clear ar1
very brilliant blue radiation. The
test is of practical value and has been
applied to other precious stones-yel-
low diamonds, Burmese and Siamese
rubies, etc.

PROTECT the COWS from Flre.

All dairy barns, creameries and the
like should be as amply as possible
protected against fire. This may be
done in several ways. If no better
way appears to the mind of the own
er, he should have a shelf construct
ed in the barn and on it keep a num-
Der of pals full of water and ready
to use at a moments notice. Ere
Quently fires get beyond control be-
cause the means are not at hand for
extinguishing them in their incipient
stage. Where farmers have wind
mills and elevated tanks that give a
good pressure to the water the ar
rangements for fighting fire can be of
the best, but will of course cost
something. Water pipes should be
laid to convenient points and hose
made ready. The fire may never
come, but it is a comfortable feeling
to know that if it comes it will gel
a cold reception. Where animals are
kept tied or locked up and beyond
possible escape from the flames Ire
cautions against fire should certainly
be taken.

great irritation and itching by biting,
and is most frequent upon the sides
of the neck and shoulders, at the base
of the horns, and at the root of the

the back and sides, and may invade
nearly the entire body. Its principal
manifestations are more or less nu-
merous pimples, emulation, and album

of the hair, and the formation of cry

Growing Roots Prevent Washouts.
the earth will be more difficult to
wash away in case of an overflow.
Our illustration shows a levee which
is intended TO apply this idea on a
more extensive scale, to confine a
river safely within the embankments,
so that there shall be no danger of
its breaking through the walls. John
Patten of New York City has OBJ

bankment, and has designed several
methods of planting which are capa-
BILE of holding a heavy body of water
in place, the one shown having the
trees set in curves, with the earth
terraced up to the proper height.
Another design contemplates the for
nation of a power canal along the
top of the levee to point where the
fall to the main body of water would
be sufficient to run a dynamo to fur
nish power for operating boats and
trolley cars. 1t is not intended that
this levee building shall be done hur-
riedly, but that the deposits of soil
carried down by the current shall
gradually fill in around the roots
until the embankment rises and con-
fines the water in a narrow channel,
thus affording access to otherwise un-
available land without danger of over
flow in floods.

corneII,s spIendld Showing.

A correspondent writing from Itha-
ca, N. Y, on the day of the great col
lege boat races, says:
Just as the setting sun broke
through the dull gray, lowering clouds
from which rains had been falling a
greater part of the day, the Cornell
university eight wound up a great
series of aquatic triumphs which set
the followers of Ithaca wild with de-
light. In three races, the four-oared,
the freshmen, and the varsity, Cor
nell literally swept the decks with a
superb exhibition of rowing skill
which again placed the methods of
Coach Courtney upon a memorable
pinnacle. The Cornell four won by
about four lengths, with Pennsylva-
mia five lengths before the Columbia
boat. The Cornell freshman eight won
by a length, with Wisconsin second,
a half length in front of Columbia,
the latter beating Syracuse a length,
with Pennsylvania nve lengths back.
