official Statement of Result

At $40 p. H.. after the operatio' had
been perf>rmcd. the following official
statement was issued:
AT 1915 p. m. the President went from
the Columbia Club To St. Nincents hos
pital in his own carriage and shortly af
ter he was in the hospital the operation
required was performed by DIR. George
II. Oliver Of Indianapolis. in consuta-
ton with the Presidents physician, DIR.
George A. Lung. andDr. George ]. Cook,
DR.. Henry jameson and DIR. j. J. Ricl,
arIson."
At the conclusion Of the operation the
physicians authorized the following state
ment:
AS a result of the traumalism Cbruisel
received in the trolley accident at Pitts
field, Mass. there was found to be cir
cumscribed collection of perfectly pure
serum in the middle third Of the left an
terror tibial region, the sac containing
about two ounces. which was removed.
The indications are that the President
should make speedy recovery. 1t is abso-
lutely imperative. however. that he should
remain quiet and refrain from using the
leg. The trouble is not serious, but tenn
porarily disabling.

TYPICAL WISCONSIN CHEESE FACTORY.

Stilton, named after a town in Leices-
tershire, England. The long, cylin-
drical cakes weigh about - pounds,
each having an irregular, whitish
rind. Inside it is white and mellow,
and traversed by blush veins. 1t re-
quires about six months to properly
ripen. Cottenham resembles Stilton
cheese, but is richer in flavor, more
creamy and more strongly marked.
Gloucester cheese and Dunlop cheese,
made in Scotland, are said to be the
best for toasting purposes in the
world. About rs miles from Paris the
famous Brie cheese is manufactured.
1t is but one inch in thickness, and
IL inches in diameter. After being
placed in the curing room it is turned
daily until it is coated first with a
white mold, then blue, and finally a
red mold. Millions of cakes are sold
in Paris yearly. At Calvados, Nor
mandy, the noted Camembert cheese
is made. The cakes are globe-shaped,
covered first with white, then with
blue mold. This is the most popular
French cheese after Brie. Roquefort,
a blue-veined cheese, is made at the
town of the same name from goats
or ewes milk, sometimes from cows
milk. 1t is cured in underground cav
erns and should not be cut until we'll
decayed, when the flavor is excellent.
Parmesan cheese, manufactured at
Parma, northern Italy. is carefully
prepared from the SKINNED milk of
cows kept in stalls at all seasons. 1t
is generally colored greenish with SAT-
from, and requires three years to IL
pen. Probably no cheese more per-
sistently makes its presence known
than that made at Limburg, Germany.
The one-pound, square, flat cakes are
all covered with oiled paper after be-
coming decomposed. The flavor is
considered by many to be very appe-
tizing, and he who carries piece of
Limburger cheese in his pocket may
be nearly sure of seat in crowded
street car. EDWARD JULIAN.

"This strike is settled, but I think
coal will become more and more
costly. Substitute fuel will have to
be found"
During the strike in the anthra-
cite regions many timely devices
were tried. For one, porous brick
saturated with petroleum Sas sue

fuel which promised to find Sarma-
nent friends in many households. An
other unique substitute for coal is
proposed by a German chemist and

really nothing else than soap. Take
petroleum refuse, waste lard and fat,
mix it with 10 per cent. of soda I've
and steam it gently, adding some
water. lncipient saponifcation takes
place. Add saw dust, coal dust and
resin, as much as you have on
hand, and when a pasty mass has
formed you have fuel-the worlds
cheapest fuel, the chemist says.
Air is also described as substi-
tute for fuel. In reality air or the
oxygen in the air is the element that
combines with the fuel to make fire,
and various devices are now being
tried to mix air with petroleum
vapors, and with oil so as to extract
the greatest possible amount of heat
from every unit of fuel. The well
known Bunsen burner and the Wells
bach light are illustrations of this
principle, which will probably be APP

naces as well as kitchen stoves.
There are two other familiar SUBJ
stltutes for coal, which will be util-
lied extensively before many years.
Both of these are earth-the so-called
oily shale and the peat. The latter is
really nothing but half-formed coal.
Many hundreds of centuries ago, the
decaying vegetable growth just like
peat boys We're pressed down by enor-
nous layers of earth forming above
them and turned into coal. Now the
formation of new layers of earth has
ceased and the peat has remained, peat.
In Germany there are many facto-
ries in which the water is pressed out
by heat, the remainder is condensed,
heated and pressed until now the prod
uct is greatly like anthracite and is
said to be better than any wood for
fuel. The amount of unused despised
peat left to moulder is prodigious. All
the way from the Atlantic ocean to the
Missouri river and as far south as
North Carolina are peat boys hundreds
of feet thick. Holland, parts of Ger

The farmers and fishermen along
the bay shores ate terrapin because
it was economical to do so. The
crop was so valueless that they
would not take the trouble to gather
any more than was sufficient for the
use of their own families during the
season. Naturally they would ex-
pect their slaves to take to the same
kind of food, but the slaves We're
right out in open rebellion against
terrapin. They were docile enough
and endured all sorts of hardships,
and injustices, but when it came to
terrapin for a steady diet they de-
clared they could not stand it. Con-
sequently the law was enacted limit

The Color of Clouds.

A cloud is white because its corpus
cles of vapor are large enough to re-
fleet all rays, large and small. But the
upper air has infinite numbers of
particles so minute that they throw
back only the smaller-or blue-waves
of light, and not the larger red, vel
low and green waves, and thus blue is
the predominant, but not exclusive,
color of the sky. This long-accepted
theory of Tyndall's is now questioned
by NJ. Spring, the Swiss physicist. He
has experimental with luminous rays
under many conditions, getting all coli
ors except blue, which failed to APP
pear until, by the aid of electricity, he
secured pure atmosphere. This was
clearly tinged with blue, leading to the
conclusion that the blue of the sky is
an essential quality of the air, of
chemical origin.

many and Denmark are full of them,
and in the Indian ocean there are
scores of islands of peat.
Yet, the fact remains that these
riches also are limited. Sooner or later
some method of getting along without
fuel must be found by utilization Of
the inexhaustible forces of nature.
Thanks to electricity these forces can
now be stored away and set free at
the dictate of man.
Something has been done toward
utilizing the energy of water and air
in the water mills and windmills, but
this is not one per cent. of what can
be done. AT Schaffhausen, Switzer-
land, huge mills convert the power Of
the falls of the Rhine into electricity,
and conduct it by cable to the city,
where it runs the street cars, pumps
the water and lights the houses.
Windmills which lift water to higher
level from which it gains power by it's
own fall are used without electricity
in the Netherlands.

The enormous statistics of supply
lose their rosy color when the
figures showing the annual coal con
sumption are considered. Last year
America used up about 100 million
tons of coal. The year before it was
only 1S2 million. This year it will
fall short, but in the next twelve
months it is expected that 225 mil
lion tons will be chopped out of our
mines. All over the world there has
been an ever increasing increase of
coal consumption, so that now about
three times as much coal is being
used up as 20 years ago. If the in
crease continues at this rate. scien-
titic journals say, the coal will all
be gone before the 212 years named
by the British commission.

This raises the old scare-"How
long can it last? When will the coal
less age be upon u.s."
Back in the COS the wise men of
Great Britain preached the question.
Parliament appointed a special COM
mission which reported that at the
then existing rate of increase in coal
consumption the worlds stock of
black diamond would be exhausted
in PIP years.
Scientists set about scheming sub
stitutes for fuel. Many of our read
ers will remember the various ma
chimes for storing the rays of the sun;
the windmill devices for saving heat.
Then came the discovery of enor-
nous coal fields in the United States,
Siberia and China. Besides cleo
tricity for motor power was develop
ed and largely allayed the fears of
an early coal famine.
In the last few months the great
coal strikes in the United States and
France, backed up by similar
troubles in England, Belgium, and
Germany, have again brought for
ward the seriousness of the coal
problem. People began to realize
what it would mean to live, or try
to live, without coal.
The worst scared people of the
east are the English. Great Britain,
until very recently, was the worlds

vantage this discovery has proved to
the cheese manufacturer. All sorts of
experiments had been made to get rid
of dangerous germs. Heating the

was hard to raise the temperature of

demonstrated that one cubic inch of

with great rapidity in the warm milk.
Various species may change the milk
to variety of different colors; some
render it bitter, some strong. They
sometimes cause a cheese to swell,
and when cut it is seen to be full of
bubbles. Sometimes red or blue mold
is found in great patches, rendering it
unfit for food, occasioning dead loss.

Wisconsin supplies nearly all our
southern trade because, being fine in
texture, its cheese stands the heat bet
ter than that made in New York,
which supplies the export trade. A
few years ago there was a large bust
ness done in ''flled cheese" which is
an adulteration, harmless and profit
able had it not been represented as
the genuine article, causing the gov
eminent to legislate against it. The
process of its manufacture consisted
in using skim milk" cheese as base
and injecting into it with steam jet
some fat to take the place of butter.
Oleomargarine was first used, then
lard was found satisfactory.
The village of Cheddar, Somerset
shire, England, gives its name to a
cheese that has been noted for over 800
years. This is initiated all over the
world, a very fine quality being made
in Wisconsin. The English cheese of
highest price and most initiated is the
