Purifying MIX by Pressure.

process the microbes that abound in
cows milk are squeezed to death-at

about 100000 germs to every teaspoon
full Of unboiled cows milk.
To investigate the effect of pressure
on bacteria an apparatus has been de-
VlSed 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

pressures Were then increased and no.
table results were obtained.
Milk subjected to pressures OF sew
enty to 100 tons kept from twenty-four
10 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

milk from going sour for from four to
six days.

WHERE RicH MEN ARE RAE.

The Jill Shimpo has made a curious
census of the rich men of Japan. The

100000 yen. which is equal to $3.50. 900.

number of these quarter-millionaires Is

in Toxic. and the great majority are
found. OF course. in the capital ana the
progressive cities OF Osaka Koto. Kobe
and Yokohama. The result shows that
there are ten rich men I'm the United
States TO one rich man in japan. even

of the japanese Weather classes are
really much larger than they seem.
The period of business and industrial
development has just begun. and for

than they We're ten. or even five. years
ago. This IS shown by the tremendous
growth Of the japanese shipbuilding
