AUSTRALIAN AFFAIRS.

The Australian wheat crop, it is esti-
mated, will approximate 10000, 900
bushels, against $4,000. 900 bushels a
year ago.
Australia and New Zealand have
90, SOC, 900 sheep, which is just one and
a half times as many as the whole of
the United States.
Australia is more English than Lon
don," maintained Sir John Cockburn
recently at the annual meeting of the
Geographical association.
The harvest deficiencies in Australia
will make necessary the purchase
abroad of 200, 900 tons of breadStuff.
This fact has advanced prices of wheat
and -four In San Francisco to point
which almost precluoes purchases. The
average wheat crop Of Australia is 3s,-

Brush Electric Patent Expires.

The last barrier in the way of the
general manufacture of electric stor-
age batteries has been removed with
the expiration of the Brush patent.
The patent covers completely the art
of making plates by mechanically APP
plying the active material as a paste
powder or in any other form, and this
claim is so broad that it was consid-
cred doubtful whether Edison could
have marketed his new battery while
the patent remained in force, and that
has been given as one reason why the
new battery has not been placed on
the market as soon as had been ex.
pected.

pounds was reduced in weight to less

was all right again it was found that
he was suffering from structure of

possible for him to swallow food.
An incision was made in the wall of
his stomach. a silver tube was in

SKIM MILK FOR BABY
Experiments Which Go to Show
Former Is Good for Latter.
A New York Woman Uses YOung Pigs
and Finds That They Thrive on
Skim Milk-Adding of Lactose
aud DexIrOse Improves

If the milk left on your doorstep in
the small hours of the merning has
been put through thinning" process
by too much watering, or has had the
cream extracted, it does not necessari-
~ follow that the milk is not good for
babies. Simply add little dextrose
or lactose, which are different varieties
of sugar, and feed to the hungry in
FAINT. 1t should thrive and wax fatand
cry just as Justify as though it were
fed Of the finest Jersey"
Especially when milk-fat disagrees
with an infant, as is so often the case
with hreast-fed ba bies, there is reason
to believe. so far as late experiments
in physiological chemistry go 10 show,
that skim milk, with the proper kind
OF sugar added. is a good diet for the
babe However, the injunction is:
Avoid too much water
This is one of the conclusions
reached by Margaret b. Wilson in the
experiments which she is now conduct
ing in Bellevue Hospital Medical col
lege. New York city. Experiments
along similar lines are being conduct
ed at the University of Chicago. where
Miss Wilson's Investigations are at
tracing much attention.
A brief account of Miss Wilson'S ex-
pertinent follows:
Three newborn pigs of the same
litter were obtained and reared on
skim milk. Of these three, one, the
skim-milk pig, was fed Oh skim milk
alone; another, the lactose pig. re-
ceived the same skim milk to which
three per cent. of lactOse had been
added; and third pig. the dextrose
pig, was nOurished with the same skim
milk, to which three per cent. of
deXtrose had been added. After 16
days the pigs were killed and submitted
to analysis
The three pigs which were fed on
the three milks described grew rap
idly and normally. The dextrose pig,
which was heaviest at the start. took
his food with greater slowness than
the others, sometimes sucking As
minutes in taking the volume of milk
which the other two drank in Is min
utes''
As one result Of her Investigations,
Miss Wilson found that the SKINNED
milk pigs gained as much as so per
cent. in weight in from IA to- 16 DAYS,
which, she says. is an apparently nor
NAL growth.
When the pigs were killed it was
found that the skimmed-miIk pig had
increased the least in fat. The lactose
pig had increased the most.
The skimmed-miR pig was, however,
a close second to the lactose pig when
il came to the proportion of heat units
retained to the number of heat units
in the food consumed.
The results show further that large
and apparently normal growth takes
place when skinned milk, containing
plentiful supply of proteid. is fed, and
that this growth is favorably influ-
enced by the addition of sugars. which
improve the nutritive value in that
they add further calorific power to the
milk.
The presence of fat in the milk
greatly reduces the bulk necessary to
supply the needed calorics; but when
milk-fat disagrees with an infant,
there seems to be reason to believe that
SKINNED milk with milk-sugar, or
lactose, can be fed without prejudicial
effect

DEWEY "THE INVADERS"

If the plot and dialogue of "The In
vaders," two-act comedy presented at
the Dewey theater this week, were as
good as the music, there would be little
room for adverse criticism. AS 1t Is, the
piece is most entertaining, and Is a well
come relief after so many more or less
tiresome burlesques
1.-THE Invaders" dispenses altogether
with vaudeville, depending upon music,
costumes and comedy to draw crowds.
The music is good, and many Of the num-
bers are new to Minneapolis. The cos
tunes have evidently been designed with
good taste and disregard for expense.
The chorus contains a score of comedy
maidens who can both dance and sing,
and the comedians do as well as they can
with the somewhat meager opportunities
given them by the author Of the piece.
Among the specialties and musical
numbers which deserve special mention
are American Millionairess'' and Honey
Send Home for Money sung by Miss Ida
Emerson; when the Ballet Girls Came
to Reuben Town. by Miss Alice Gordon
and sextet; Sarah Sunshine by
Messrs Howard and Peters and Misses
Gordon and De Maria; and Honey, Will
You Miss Me When I'm Gone,"9by Harry
Leonard and chorus The opening Choir
uses, Invaders" and When the Moon
Shines Bright" also deserve mention.
| The comedy work Is entrusted to Jos.
eph E. Howard and Phil w. Peters, botf
OF whom acquit themselves well. 1T Is t.
be regretted, however, that they indulge
at times in rather suggestive bits of horse
play. The show does not need that sor
of thing to make 1t a success.

are summarized as follows in the bulle-
tin issued to-day by Section Director
T. S. Outram:
I'm the middle Of the week the weather
was warm; at other times it was mod

of the state every day In the week. The
rains were heavy in many parts, and tn
weekly amounts were large. Worthington

Moorhead 306, Detroit City 262, Monte

of the rains were accompanied by
lightning and thunder, the thunderstorms
Of the evenings Of the ed and Gath being
especially severe, with high winds which
ties on each side of the Minnesota river,
and thence southwark, with local damage
to buildings, wind mills, shade and fruit
trees which will aggregate many thou
sands of dollars. On the 10th there was
hail in western Sherbourne and northern
Wright counties which caused damage to
growing crops and fruit. The low places
are flooded in the south, and all the
! streams are full or overlooking their
banks. The warmth and abundant
! moisture have caused q luxurious growth
| of the small grains, pastures, clover and
| other grasses, and the rapid germina tior
| of corn, fax and barley recently seeded
| but the rains have seriously hindered, OF
/ entirely stopped farm work, so that corr
planting and the seeding of the small
| areas still intended for fax and barley
1 have to wait for drier weather. Rye i:

Mrs. Gunderson Gladly Paid $3.50
to Secure Her Sons
Release.
Police Told Her Shed Been Swim
died, but She Wouldn't
Believe It.

That the American public gives up easily
was shown by the action of Mrs. Oscar
Gunderson, brought to police headquarters
this morning by an officer, who wanted
her to swear out a warrant for the arrest
of j. G. Cleary. The man was accused
of having swindled her out of $3.50. Super
intendent Of Police Ed j. Conroy told her
that she had been swindled. but she per-
sisted that Cleary's dealings We're on the
square.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Gunderson, Cleary called upon her a few
days ago and represented that he was an
attorney with offices in St. Paul. He had
heard that her son was confined IN the
Minneapolis workhouse upon ninety
day sentence and would not be released
uptil the latter part Of June. II Mrs Gun
derson wished the boys release. matters
could be arranged upon the payment OF
$3.50. The woman readily paid the money
and Cleary disappeared.
Mrs. Gunderson, we'll pleased with the
prospect m seeing her son free again. Went
to a neighbours house and told her friends
Of the ''knid gentleman who would gel
Louis freed for $3.50. Her friends tried
Ter and when they We're unable to do so
reported the affair to an officer. Clears
was picked up by patrolman this morn
ing and taken to police headquarters.
To Superintendent Conroy he acknow-
lodged having collected the money from
| the woman. He said he was an attorney
and that the money he collected was sim
ply his retainer. Having been unable t
secure the release Of young Gunderson
he agreed to return the money.
II don't want the money back, :" criet
Mrs Gunderson. II don't believe that yo'
swindled me. won't have you arrested
All want is to have my boy free again.

pleted canvass among the leading bust
ness men Of the city and as a result has
secured sufficient funds to insure the sue
cess of the missions annual fresh air
trips. Situated as it Is in a quarter Of the
city where the people have little oppor
tunity for getting out into the open, the
Peoples mission has for several years sue
cessfully carried out the plan Of one-day
summer excursions. These have been
made possible by the loyal support Of Min
neapolis business men. Last year suffici-
emit funds were provided for two excur-
sions, both of which were by boat down
the Mississippi and up the st. Croix. On
one Of the trips the Journal Eewsboys'
band supplied music and 1t has always
been the rule to supply refreshments to
the excursionists. Some 1,050 people en-
ioyed these trips free.

made after much protest.
It is presumed that this was originally
intended to shut out peddlers, but St.

even resident representatives of such out

are firms belonging to the exchange. :.

except on consignment and that the car
loads OF produce and fruit cannot be
sold except to the consignee. 1t Will be

taken Of the Minneapolis shipper. When
the car arrives the consignee may wire
back: "Car satisfactory; half shipment
