ROPINESS OF MILK.
1t Is Caused by a Specific Bacillus
Which Can BE Destroyed Only
by Sterilization.

Although milk can turn ropy under
temperature falling close to frost
line, yet warm weather favors its fire.
quency. 1t is useless to blame it upon
the COW as SO many do. The ropiness
of milk is caused by specific bacillus
in the milk or cream, which bacillus
is brought out of streams and
reaches the milk first by either wash
ing the milk vessels in the water, or
the mud adhering to the COW, and
the mlllman letting it get into the
milk. The bacillus once started
strongly, will cling to the milk YES
sells, the cream pitcher or bottle in
definitely, unless they are thoroughly
cleansed each time after using. And
the only right way to do this when
the milk gets ropy is to submerge
them all each time for not less than
five minutes, in boiling water. Look
especially to the strainer; half the
time it is responsible for the ropy
condition of the milk Do not blame
the m,lkman and ruin his trade with
your complaints until first you are
sure the lack of cleanliness, in this
respect, does not lie with your own
neglect in not scalding out as it
should be, the receptacle you keep
the milk in after he brings it to you.
Milk never ropes until it has stood
for several hours, long enough to
give the bacilli time to get in their
work.
Unless we know exactly what and
where the milk comes from, as to the
health of the cows. and carefulness
of the dairyman, it is just as well to
pasteurize the milk ourselves. This
is done by putting the vessel contain
ing it into one containing water
brought to and kept at a tempera-
ture of 1855 degrees, for from 10 to
90 minutes, stirring the milk often
to distribute the heat evenly through
it. This temperature kills practical
ly about all the dangerous substances
in it,, and when cooled still leaves it
with the fresh milk flavor. Running
the heat higher, will give it the
cooked favor, and Injuries its digesti-
bility. To keep milk fresh for days,
put it into bottles, the bottles into
saucepan of cold water, gradually
bring TO a boil, instantly cork, put
back into the water and bring to a
boil again, allowing it to boil for a
minute or two, let gradually cool in
the same water, fasten the corks in
so that no air possibly can touch the

FIGHT DUST WITH TAR.
Along Suggestions Coming All
the Way from California

Perhaps it is thought that petroleum
serves but to burn in lamps and fur
naces and run our automobiles. That
is the use, perhaps, that we make of
it, but in America, California for ex-
ample, petroleum is employed to water
even public roads. Persons who have
seen the operation declare it to be
marvellous. There is neither dust nor
odor, because the petroleum ANAL
gamates in a way with the dust and
clothes the soil with a sort of coating
solid and durable as asphalt
The towns which have adopted this
system economic, it is calculated, As
per cent. of the expenses occasioned
by the old plan of daily sprinkling
with water. AS a ton of petroleum
costs only 90 francs in California and
$50 francs in France, it is not prac-
ticable to adopt the American plan.
There is nothing. however. to forbid
us using mineral tar of which the price
varies from Is to so francs the ton.
That is what DR.. Guglielminetti recon-
mends, who has employed it at Monte
Carlo with the same results as pc
troleum. Wetted with the tar the road
becomes compact and hard and rain
water runs upon it without penetrat-
ing.
Now it is in the dust that nestle the
microbes. since 100000 is the mean
number found in one gramme of dust,
so the new system of watering is con-
sidered eminently hygienic. The ex-
pense of sprinkling a route five meters
wide would be about 300 francs per
kilometer. Since 1880 tarred route
has existed in the Gironde before the
gas works. The Touring club of
France will make an experiment at
Champigny, outside Paris, with tar
and tar oil.-Paris Letter in Chicago

NEW FUR SEAL ROOKERY.
Lieut.. Ellsworth BerthOff Adds to
His Laurels by Making Valuable


Lieut.. Ellsworth BerthOff, of the
revenue cutter service, who received
a gold medal from congress last
ring for his part in the overland
petition in Alaska in the winter Of
-eo97-9s, and who made a trip to
arctic Siberia last year in search of
reindeer for the government, has
added to these exploits by discover
ing new fur seal rookery in the
Aleutian islands. While cruising
among the islands near the extreme
western end of the chain early in
July as the executive officer of the
steamer Manning, Lieut., Berthoff
went ashore with a boats crew on
the island of Bouldyer. There he
found two rookeries of fur seals
similar to those found on the famous
Pribyloff islands, which are situated
fully 700 miles in northeasterly di-
rection from Bouldyer.
The scene of the newly discovered
seal herd is mere bit of land be-
tween Boring sea and the Pacific
ocean, fully $500 miles west of San
Francisco, but still within American
jurisdiction. Lieut. BertSoff APP
preached the herd closely enough to
learn that none of the seals had been
branded, and there was no sign that
white men in sea search of fur seal
had ever been near the island.

BREEDS INSANITY.

French Doctor Attempts TO Prove
That Education Is HurtfuI Ad.
vanees Facts in support of His
Theory.
DIR. Solners has just read before
the academy of medicine at Paris a
remarkable paper, in which he seeks
to establish a correlation between
the increase of insanity and crime
and the general diffusion of knowl-
edge.
According to his daring theory,
which is plausibly built on numer-
Jnusly observed facts, education acts
on certain brains in such a way as
~ produce cerebral disorders, which
may be ikened to those produced by
poisons upon the stomach and intes-
tines. Even superficial knowledge,
such as is impaired in primary
schools or absorbed from newspa-
per, he declares, is sufficient to
cause minor crevices in the gray mat
ter which are responsible for many
yet uncatalogued forms of lunacy.
DR.. SOlners concludes that this
world is getting too complicated, and
that its complication is made too
constantly present to every mind by
conversations, books, newspapers
and spectacles of the busy modern
life. He took a list of the abnormal
happenings of last week to demon
strate his theories, discussing each
case. Among the instances cited
were the following:
An American woman, aged 40, sud
denly became insane while looking
tho Of
At Touraine a farmer in the course
of an innocent controversy moved
off both the legs of his opponent
with a scythe.
A school-teacher, fascinated by re-
Volving knives, jumped into a huge
clay mixer in a porcelain factory and
was chopped up like sausage meat.
A miller, suddenly seized with an
insane frenzy while watching the
swiftmoving -four roller, threw into
the machine his own ive-year-old
child, whose legs were ground before
the belt slipped owing to the chok-
ing resistance.
Two Russians, man and wife, were
riding in an automobile down a steep
mountain along a precipice, when the
woman exclaimed: What if we
should swerve." Her companion, be-
fore he could resist the impulse,
obeyed some insane suggestion pro-
voked by the remark and whirled the
machine into an abyss, where he was
killed and his wife severely injured.
DIR. Solners mentioned many other
instances, from which he argued that
the human race now is composed
mostly of latent lunaticS whose in
dlvidual lunacy may remain inoffens-
i've until death or may break loose
suddenly under a combination of
conditions not yet scientifically de-
termined.

Queer Case of Poisoning.

We recently heard of case where
a farmer had several cows made sick
by eating beet pulp. On killing the
animals their stomachs were found
in very bad shape and nearly pune
tured. He could give no reason for
it, but charged it to the eating of
sugar beet pulp. We doubt if this
was the cause. Not long ago one of
the stations in the west investigated
a similar trouble and found it due
to the presence of lead dust The
lead dust had become mixed with the
beet pulp by the pulp being trans
ported in cars in which lead ore had
been hauled. This is a factor that
must be looked out for, as the rail
road men probably do not know that
they are endangering the lives of
cattle when they use dirty ore car
for hauling food for farm animals

Electric GarrIoge Call.

/ An electric carriage call has been
installed in the Metropolitan opera
hall, New York City. This will do
away with the steel-lunged criers.
The installation consists of an cleo
trio sign board placed over the drive
way. When a number is wanted an
usher presses the number on q
switchboard. Immediately the num-
Der is emblazoned on the sign board
over the driveway. The numbers are
so large and bright that they can be
seen for blocks. All the drivers of
the carriages have to do is to watch
the board. When their number is
flashed out they drop out of the
waiting line and drive to the door. In
this manner all noise and confusion
are done away with. The same ar
rangement will be placed at other
theaters.

MODERN ROAD MAKING.
the Inquiry Office of the Agri-
cultural Department.

Some astonishing facts have been
developed by the office of road inquiry
of the department of agriculture.
Who would have supposed, for in
stance, that bad roads are so costly
in comparison with good ones as to
increase the expense of moving farm
products and supplies threefold? Yet
such is the truth, and it is estima ted
that the money thus thrown away
more than equals, in the aggregate,
the entire expenses of the United
States government! On the average
American road it costs 25 cents per
ton to move produce one mile; on good
roads the cost is only eight cents.

Gently been devised, such as an elevat-
ing grader, capable of lifting earth
from cuts and dropping it into wagons

A very interesting style of road now
used in several western and middle
states possesses a double steel track,
laid in a concrete bed, each rail being
eight inches wide, with fange on the
inner side, the space between the rail
being such as to suit all standard
gauge vehicles. On these roads loads
are drawn with surprising ease and
swiftness One instance is recorded
in which a single horse drew a load of
II tons, which could only be moved on
an ordinary road by 20 horses. The
steel-track roads vary in cost from
$1,000 to $500 per mile.-Cosmopoli-
