Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Not since the days when, under the
guiding hand Of the Rev. f. NJ. Lepore.
the congregation of Mount Carmel
church observed the various feast days
has there been such a demonstration as
that which marked the feast of Our
Lady of Mount Carmel last Sunday. On
account of this being the patron fes
tival of the church, the day has always
been marked with especial ceremony.
and this year all previous efforts were
surpassed and the observance was
thoroughly enthusiastic. Low Mass
was celebrated at 1880 and O'Clock.
and solemn high Mass was sung at
1880 o'clock. Rev. Father Thomas
Moreschini, Q. NJ. the new pastor of
the church, was celebrant; Rev Father
A. Deane, S. J., Of the College of the
Sacred Heart, was deacon. and Rev.
Father Julius Piccoli, S. NJ. o. M.

MAKING OF GOOD VINEGAR
Some Authentic Information on a
Topic in Which Many Farm
ers Are Interested.

Bulletin 1872 of the North Carolina ex-
pertinent station tells about the making
of vinegar thus:
Take sound barrels, or any suitably
sized vessels of wood, earthenware or
glass-ncver iron, copper or tin. Clean
thoroughly and scald. Fill, not more
than half full. with the cider stock,
which should have fermented at least
one month, TO this add one-fourth its
volume Of old vinegar. This is a very
necessary part of the process, since the
vinegar restraints the growth of the
chance teTments which abound in the
air, and at the same time it favoTs the
true acetic acid ferment, Next add to
the liquid a little mother vinegar" Ii
this latter is not at hand, a fairly pure
culture may be made by exposing in a
shallow. uncovered crock or wooden
pail a mixture of oue-half old yinega"
and one-half hard cider. The room
where this is exposed should have a
temperature Of about 80 degrees F. IL
three or four days the surface should
become covered with a ]gelatinOUs pelli-
Gle. or cap. This is the mother vine
gar" A little of this carefully removed
with a wooden spoon or stick should
be laid gently upon the surface of the
cider prepared as above described. Do
not stir it In. The vinegar ferment
grows only at the surface. In three days
the cap should have spread entirely owe
the ~fermenting cider, Do not break this
cap thereafter so long as the fermenta-
ton continues. If the temperature is
right the fermentation should be COM
plete in from four to six weeks. The
vinegar should then be drawn off.
strained through thick white flannel,
and cOrked or bunged tightly. and kept
IN a cool place until wanted for con-
sumption, If the vinegar remains tur-
bid after ten days. stir into a barrel one
pint Of a solution Of one-half pound of
isinglass in one quart Of water, As soon
as settled. rack off, and store in tight
vessels. Usually no filming of vinegar
keer long in vessels exposed to the air
at a temperature above GO degrees F.
"Vinegar cels' are sometimes trouble
| some in vinegar barrels. To remove
these. heat the vinegar scalding hot, but
do not boil When cool, strain through
clean flannel, and the "eels" will be re-
| moved,

STORING FRUIT IN CAVES.
A2Flo3 Gan Be Kept There with Less
Average Loss Than in Cold
Storage Houses.

some years ago fruit
thought that the Introduction of cold
storage would revoluttonize The busl-
ness and about do away with ordi-
nary cellar storage. They believed
thal early apples could be kept N cold
storage Throughout the fall season,
and thus come into competition with
the winter apples. While great sue
cess has been had with refrigeration.
the average farmer will still have no
cause TO change from the Gld-fash-
Toned cellar method. if he uses COM
mon sense and care in preserving his
apples.
In a properly constructed and WE'LL
managed cellar, fruit and vegetables
should keep all winter. Farmers should
bear IN mind that it does not hurt
apples to freeze, so long as they are
buried deep enough to prevent thawing
before sprinstime. 1t is wise to put on
a mulch OF straw or litter, after the
ground is frozen, to prevent the fruit
from thawing during a warm spell.
Generally ! would say a cave is more
desirable than a cellar. A welI-bricked
cave arched over and nicely cemented
Will not cost too much for the average
farmer. The satisfaction of such a
storage house will fully repay the ex-
ira work and expense.
Good results are obtained by sub
earth Ventilat0rs. In caves these are
made as deep as the nature of the
ground will permit. preferably SO the
top of the yentilator will not be above
the level Of the ground. Thing should
be laid from some point that is sew
eral rods from the cave; it should en-
ter at the bottom Of the cave, and be
so constructed as to act as a drain in
case water should seep into the cellar.
Thing should be large enough to allow
a good inflow Of air, and a good open
ing should be maintained for the eX-
CluSiOn of foul atmosphere IN the
cave. BY the use of this system Of
ventilation, outside air is cooled and
circulated in the ave while all i'm
p"urities are carried off. If a farmer
cannot see his way clear to build such
a storage cave, his cellar should be
opened in the fall, when the air is
cool, and closed when the weather is
yet warm. The cellar should be kept
tightly closed during warm and WINDY
days Of the fall. My experience has
been that apples stored in a well con-
structed cave may be kept with less
average loss than in cold storage, and
certainly at a greatly reduced cost

PICTURES SENT BY WIRE.
New Process by Which Drawings and
Handwriting Are Quickly
Transmitted.

During several decades a number Of
methods for reproducing simple pic
lures. drawings and handW riting cleo
trically at a distance have been pro-
posed and partly carried ont, but none
Of them has led to a result Of technical
Importance. This seems not TO be the
case with the improved system Of Prot.
Korn. Of Munich. whose success is GIe
principally to the employ ment Of a
vacuum tube az an adjustable source Of
light al the receiving station.
The essential arrangements are well
known from previous attempts. two
cylinders. one at the Sen6ing and one at
the receiving station, run in syHrArcn-
ism. On the former is the picture to be
transmitted, preferably on a film and
on the latter is a sensitive Photographic
film. A fine a Of light. concentrated
by lens from a suitably arranged Nern5t
lamp, roLrtrates the first film and
strikes A etlenium cell inside Of the bol-
low glas. cylinder. The seIenium cell
is connected in series with an accumu,
Iat0r battery, the line wire and a cur
rent indicator at the receiving station.
Upon rotation Of the hollow cylinder
the light ray describes a spiral line Of
very small pitch on the film. Ike the
stylus OF a gramophOne. In proportion
to the blackening Of the film the light
ray Is weakened more or less, the re-
sistance Of the selenium cell raised ac-
cordiDgly, and the current in the trans
mission line shows corresponding re-
ciprocal changes.
The time required for reproducing a
photograph is at present half al honr.
The transmission line may. Of course,
be used al the same time for telephony.
Photographs have been successfully
transmitted over a fourfOld line be-
tween Munich and Nuremberg. the re-
sistance Of the complete loop being 200
ohms. The time of Transmission may be
considerably diminished by increasing
the DETECTING and indicating powers OF
the ~ealyanometer. The time required
for the transmission Of handwriting Or
drawings is only one-twentieth Of that
necessary for pictures At present 500
words can easily BE- transmitted in Il
hour. BY operating the high-tension
relay directly by the line current an
Improvement ar be effected.
