Mix Made Into Powder.

An important movement appears TO be
on foot in Sweden for the conversion II
skinned or separated milk into Try
powder by means of machine called az
''cXsiccator. invented by DIR. Martin
Ekenberg. The price of one of these
machines to cvapOratc 52S gallons OF
milk in ten hours is stated somewhat
vaguely to be from goo to ESQ. 1t was
recently reported that ten sets of appar1-
tus were being erected in Swedish dairy
factories, and that inquiries about the
machine from butter makers in Sweden
and foreign countries We're numerous.
The powder, when dissolved in Il proper
quantity of water of the right temporal
ture, resumes the appearance and other
characteristics of milk. AS the annual
output of separated and skinned milk
in Sweden is estimated at over 15S.000.-
600 gallons, the supply of the powder
from that country alone, if ii proves Il
commercial success. will be very large,
and in all other countries where butter is
extensively produced the difficulty Of
finding profitable use for this product
is felt. as the return for it when it is
used as food for calves or pigs is small.
Although separated milk is almost de
void of fat, its alimentary value is con-
siderable. and. in the form OF powder. a
large quantity of it can be transported in
small compass. 1t is stated that the
powder will keep good for an indefinitely
long period.-I.Ondon Standard.

ANSWERS to questions appearing two
weeks ago:
455-There is little doubt but that the
moon influences the weather, and its eff
feet upon the tides of the ocean is well
known. Reasoning from analogy, we must
conclude that the moon, having the effect
it does upon the water, must have much
greater effect in heaping up great tides in
the atmosphere, and in this manner af
fecting in some manner the weather.
Some stages of the moon are hence known
as dry. and others stormy or wet. Plants,
then that require dry tempera ture
when planted are placed in the ground
in the dry of the moon, and those re-
quiring a wet or moist earth, when the
moon is in the position where it will have
that influence over the atmosphere. Many
persons who regard the effect of the moon
over vegetation as superstitious, forget
that this effect is produced through the
condition of the atmosphere.
456.-1. Infant baptism probably began
with the paganS, and was much older
than the introduction of Christianity, and
was connected with the savage custom of
exposing infants who were not to be
brought up The newly-born babe was
presented to the father, who was to decide
whether the child was to be reared or
not if he decided to rear it, then water
was poured over the child and the father
gave it a name; if it was to be exposed,
then the ceremony was not gone through

with; if the child was exposed by anyone
after this ceremony had been gone
through, it was a case of murder, whereas
it was not thought a crime if the child
had been made way with before water
had been thrown on it, and it had been
named. The analogy lies in the use OF
water, the bestowal of the name, and the
entrance into civil life through the rite.
2. The usual mode of performing the
ceremony was by mmersion, and only in
the case of sick persons were the priests
allowed to baptiZe by pouring water upon
the head o. by sprinkling. In the early
church clinical baptism, as it was
called, was only permitted in cases Of
necessity, but the practice of baptism by
sprinkling gradually came in spite of the
opposition of councils and hostile DEGREES.
The Council of Ravenna. in 1911, was the
first council of the church which legalized
baptism by sprinkling by leaving it TO the
choice of the officiating minister. 3. lie
is very difficult to show any real connec-
ton between the baptism of John and
Christian baptism. further than the gen
forerunner must have had to that of the
Messiah. We know very little about the
baptism of John. and all attempts to
describe 1t infinitely are founded either
upon conjecture or upon its identity with
the baptism of proselytes.

ODE TO ST. cEcILIA's DAY.

John Dryden, a celebrated English poet,
was born at Aldwinkle. England. Aug. 9.
1881, and died May 1. 100. He was made
poet-laureate in 1868, and won the title
OF the father of English criticism" In

ing year wrote the lode to ST Cecilia's
Day." Nov. %. 1t was set to music by a
composer named Draghi. This ode is
pronounced his greatest work. We print
the second stanza, said by critics to be a
triumph in verse making.
What passion cannot music raise and
quell?
When Jubal struck the chorded shell.
His listening brethren stood around
And wondering, on their faces fell
To worship that celestial sound;
Less than god they thought there could

Within the hollow of that shell.

to the ear as a line ending in ound when

power, and they are often helped out by
a sweetening of saccharin.
Advocates of saccharin claim that 1T
is harmless. 1t is used as medicine
in diabetes and other kidney diseases
that require the sufferer to abstain from
sugar. The highest medical authorities
agree, however, that the continued use of
saccharin is injurious to the system. 1t
affects the kidneys. 1t is also an antisep-
tic; therefore it has a retarding effect on
digestion. A very weak solution interferes
with the action of the digestive juices.
Add to this the fact that it has not nu-
tritive value whatever, and it is easy to
see why DR.. Wiley condemns it's use as a
fraud and an injury to the consumer
Manufa cturers of the wonderful sweet
ener claim themselves that it is an anti
septic. In it's composition it is very close
ly ralated to salicylic acid, which is a
powerful antiseptic. 1t Is chemically de-
scribed as "Benzoyl Sulphonic Irnide,"
and is a derivation of benZoic acid, well
known preservative. Its manufacture
starts with toluone, a by-product of coal
tar which is heated with sulphuric acid,
and the residue successfully treated with
lime, carbonate of sodium, phosphoric
trichlonde, chlorine, gaseous ammonia, po-
tassium permanganate, and the powder
used in commerce is precipitated
mineral acids. From this description,
found in the advertising matter of the
saccharin manufacturers, the famous SUI
gar substitute does not seem very appe-
tiZing. However, it is a perfect imitation
of sugar as to taste, and its cheapneSS
makes it dangerous competitor.
