KINDNESS AND MILK SUPPLY.
English Agricultural College Says
Cows Regulate Amount Accord
ing to Treatment Received.

II you want your cow to yield milk
of the best quality and greatest quantity
you have only to treat her kindly. This
is the sum and substance of the dis
covery made by the staff of the county
technical college at Chelmsford, Eng
land.
The cow is nervous animal, suscepti-
BILE to kind or harsh treatment. Both
the amount and quality of the milk
she gives depends on her preference for
the persons with whom she has to deal.
Following up the theory rigorous ex-
pertinent was tried on farm in Essex.
Four cows were tried with four different
mixers. The favorite milker was hon
ored with nearly 19 pounds weight of
milk one morning, while another less
favored got only tri1e over Is pounds
the next morning, while another cow
which had yielded badly the first morn
ing increased her supply as well as the
quality the second morning, with the
change of mixer.

ENJOYS UNIQUE PENSION.
Washington Restaurant-Keeper Fur
nishes Ex-Employe with Three
Square Meals Daily.

All men who draw pensions are not
veterans in a military sense. The pro-
prietor of one of Washington's leading
restaurants has provided for one of his
ex-emplo yes in manner most unique.
The pension consists of three square
meals a Cay and as many drinks. The
old man who draws this pension is an
ex-bartender of the establishment, and
was put ON the retired list some time
ago.
AS the pensioner was known to be
fond of 'the cup that cheers" the en-
ployer found it necessary to add one
clause to the pension, viz: .'The drinks
will be given at the appointed time, be-
fore breakfast, dinner, and supper, pro-
vided there are no signs of having in
dulged in intodcants elsewhere" 1t is
a very familiar sight to see this old man
comfortably seated at neat looking lit
tie table enjoying his food as much as
he did in the days when he was in ac-
tive service.

A GAS LIKE RADIUM.
Found in Drinking Water of New
Haven, Connecticut.
Experiments of Yale Professors Indf-
cate That the Precious Substance
Is Present in Rocks in the
Vicinity.

Profs. H. A. Bumstead and l.. +.
Wheeler, Of the Yale scientific school,
have completed their first trial OF ex-
periments on the radioactive gas
which was recently discovered by them
to be present in some of the drinking
water of New Haven, Conn. 1t was
thought that the presence of the gas
might indicate the existence OF rad1um
hereabouts, but Prof Bumstead said
that so far as his experiments went he
could see no reason to expect that New
Haven would be benefited in CONNER
cial way from the discovery OF this
radioactive gas.
"My experiments" he went on, in
dicate that the gas is not an emana-
ton from any radioactive substance
dissolved in the water, for the residue
from the water is very slightly If at all
active"
Gas drawn from the ground near the
lake supplying the water has been test
ed by the Yale scientists, and has been
found to be almost three times as radio
active as the gas from the surface wa
ter. This might indicate that there was
radium present in the rocks near by, but
whether this is so the Yale scientists
have not yet tried to determine.
In speaking of how the gas was
found, Prof. Bumstead said:
eat the request of Prof. ]. J. Thorn
son, who was visiting here last spring,
Prof. Wheeler and myself undertook to
find out If radioactive gas existed
in the deep-level waters Of this vicinity.
He called our attention to the work
done in the Cavendish laboratory on a
radioactive gas found in waters COM
ing from deep levels in that region.
1--WE secured some water for expert
ment from spring near New Milford,
Conn, which was estimated to be about
1900 feet deep, and found that 1t was
radioactive. We then took some wa
ter from one of the surface lakes here,
which is used as reservoir, and we
found this to our surprise to contain
a strongly active gas. We tried the
water direct from the lake, and after
it had come through the pipes, but the
result was the same
''The water was then taken and after
the gas had been expelled was aerated
by dropping and allowed to stand for
1s days, but it did not recover the power
Of giving off a radioactive gas. That
was the experiment that indicated that
the gas does not come from radio
active substance dissolved in the wa
ter"
Experiments will be carried on for
some time in the Yale. laboratory to de-
termine the causes Of the presence of
this gas.

FIND NOISE INTOLERABLE.
Dfscordant Whistles Said to BE De.
populatfng City of Salem,
Massachusetts.

Salem, Mass, in the last year lost half
million dollars in taxable personal
property simply because the intolerable
and from factories has made the place
residentially undesirable
Several leading citizens have thus
been driven to live elsewhere. Strong
efforts have been made to secure the
abatement of the nuisance, but with
out avail, and other prominent resi-
dents announce their intention of go
Ing to live in other parts.
One gentleman says that in order to
sleep nights he has to go over to Mar
blehead, there is such a continuous
footing of locomotive whistles in his
neighborhood.
Indulgence in the noise nuisance is
therefore proving an xpensive luxury
for Salem. Not only is there loss
OF personal property, but in giving an
undesirable character to first-class resi-
Dental property it must tend to depress
real estate values, and thus cause the
city the loss of much revenue.
The blowing Of locomotive whistles
within the municipal limits, except in
case of emergency, has long been for
hidden in Maiden, Waltham and other
places where they had become public
nuisance, and no inconvenience in the
operation Of trains has ensued.
Salem has long been considered one
of the pleasantest places of resi- dence in
New England. Many persons have been
drawn to live there by it's beau tiful To-
cation, its pleasant streets, its fine old
houses, its historic traditions, its sci
entific and literary institutions and the
charming social conditions that these
things imply.

PLUCK OF A BOY.
in Midafr for Two Miles Be-
fore Train Is stopped,

A remarkable instance of pure pluck
on the part of a 14-year-old boy was
exhibited between Washington, N. j.,
and Hackettstown, on the main line of
the Lackawanna road, recently. Henry
Dougherty, of Oxford Furnace, an un-
ruly y0ungster, stole a ride as far as
HacketFstown, where brakeman put
him off,
He awaited an opportunity fer re-
turning in the same manner, and at
tempted to jump a freight as it passed
the Hackettstown station at a speed
of 80 miles an hour. He grasped the
vertical hanGrail near the rear end of
a car, and, missing his expected foot
hold on the step, swung around from
the momentum of the train until his
body was nearly parallel with the car
to which he hung with a deathlike
grip, humping it as it swayed from side
to side.
This hazardous position the boy
maintained for fully two m lies, until
the train passed a gang of men near
Rockport, two miles from Hacketts-
town. The men shouted at the train
crew and sign aled for quick stop, but
before the hea avy train could I've stopped
the exhausted boy let go anGt fell.
