SEX UNKNOWN.
Woman Lived Among Men for
Mon,hs Without Identification.

Bay City, Mich. March S.--Thirty-five
men. one woman and a team Of horses
escaped from a big noe OF ice in Sagi-
nav bay TO the shore at Big Creek, Tuse-
ola county, yesterday. The woman had
been living on the ice al winter. her sex
being unknown to the men. She was
mannish in appearance and wore complete
male attire with trousers tucked in high
boots.
Her sex was discovered Saturday when
the party was making an effort to get
ashore. The woman demurred and after
some questioning she admitted her sex.
She had been backward about visiting
among the other shanties on the ice all
winter, preferring the seclusion OF her
own hut.
She said she had gone upon the ice
partly for the excitement and partly
for making money catching fish. Her
home is In Sebewaing.

Purifying Milk by Pressure.

After aerated milk, sterillzed milk,
peptonized milk. lactated milk and
matted milk there is now to be added
new kind of scientific hyglenic milk.
This is compressed milk. By a new
process the microbes that abound in
cows milk are squeezed to 62ath-at
least a part of them are, for there are
about 100000 germs to every teaspoon
full of unboiled cows milk.
To investigate the effect Of pressure
on bacteria an apparatus has been de-
yised which is remarkable for having
produced what is probably the greatest
hydrostatic pressure ever reached-over
100000 pounds per square inch.
The particular object of these expert
ments was 10 determine whether the
bacteria in milk might not be killed by
hydrostatic pressure, so that 1t would
keep q longer time without going sour.
Moderate pressures were first tried,
but appeared to have no effect The
pressures were then increased and no.
table results were obtained.
Milk subjected to pressures of sew
enty to 100 tons kept from twenty-four
to sixty hours longer without going
sour than milk which had not been sub.
jected to compression.
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 ninety tons per square
inch maintained for an hour prevented
milk from going sour for 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 cases acquired peculiar tastes
and odors on Keeping, indicating that
cretain species OF bacteria were killed
while others were not - London Ex-

A scramble is being made by MEM
bers Of congress to possess the discard
ed desks which furnished the house for
so many years prior to the mahogany
elegance of the ffty-seventh congress
What are left Of these desks are stored
in the basement under the rotunda Of
the capitol, and daily they are hunted
through by some representative who
realizes that here is an opportunity to
perpetuate his glory as a national leg
islator, and establish an heirloom in
his family to be used by his children
as an incentive to oratory and states
manship.
At the last session, when the house
decided to refurnish, a resolution was
passed that members who desired to
purchase their old desks should be al
lowed to do so after a price had been
established by an auction of few Of

ing of the house was charged with car
rying out the resolution, and Mr..
Browning is finding his task one which
needs not only commercial instinct,
but the skill of a diplomat.
In order to ascertain the wish of
members in this regard Mr.. Browning
sent notices to each of the members
of the fifty-sixth congress asking them
to communicate their desires to him in
writing on this matter. A few re-
sponded, but the indications were up to
a short time ago, that the desks were
to be drug on the market.

A wonderful manuscript book on
archaeology has just been presented to
the library of congress by Thomas Will
son, LII. D., of Washington. The au-
thor of the work in question, Mr.. S.
H. Binkley, a farmer Of Montgomery
county, Ohio, died in 1900, at the age
OF "a years.
Mr.. Binkley employed his spare time
for the last twenty years of his life
in writing this book, OF rather printing
it with pen and ink, and illustrating it
with drawings in black end white and
color, which have the ineness Of en-
cravings and Autographs
The objects described and illustrated
are the common utensils of the aborig-
inal inhabitants of this country, and
embrace arrow and spear heads Of bone
and stone, domestic belongings of va
rious kinds, working implements, cary
ings, etc.
Professor W. X. Moorehead of New
York, who, through a mere accident.
became possessed of the unique vol
ume, thus speaks of the author accord
ing to the few facts which he has been
enabled to gather concerning him;
IS. H. Binkley was a gentleman
farmer of the old school. Whether he
was a college graduate or not l am
unable to say, but my impression Is
that he educated himself He possessed
a fine farm in the Miami Bottoms,
south OF Dayton, in Montgomery coun-
ty, Ohio. There were walls, circles,
etc, OF prehistoric remains upon his
property and the presence Of these
turned his attention to archaeological
matters.
