Ladders a allle Long.

Theodore Waters, describing In Ey-

Under the law it is necessary to
maintain ladders In all mines, however
deep. so that in case of accident to the
hosting machinery the miners may Re

These ladders. in a mine rnile

shaft was covered, but the trapioor

the hole. The first few rungs quickly
succeeded one another into darkness.
but a moving light far below showed
that they continued on down below
the limit Of vision The light came
from lamp in the hat of a workman
probably making repairs. but whether
it was leo or 1000 feet down was i'm
possible to determine. 1t was not ex-
actly q reassuring sight. The idea that
the man was climbing a ladder a mile
high. and the possibility Of his encoun-
tering loose rungs in the darkness. in
vited my perturbed comment
"'Oh, that is nothing. remarked a
workman. IT is not one ladder. but a
succession of ladders, and there are
plenty oflevels to rest upon. Why.

Cause of Eitfer MIX

Recent experiments at the Ontario
experiment farm show that the yeast
like micro-organism, or bitter torula.
is the cause Of much bitter milk and
cheese. Factories IN that section have
complained Of the bitterness of the
milk, and as a consequence the ex-
pertinent station has conducted exten-
siYe investigations as to the cause.
Culture of the torula were added to
milk and cheese that had been ster-
ilized and in each case a bitter taste
was the result 1t was not found In
milk drawn into sterillzed dishes, but
was found regularly I'm mixed milk, in
the solution used for can washes and
also on the leaves of trees under which
the cans were habltually kept. The
remedies are to cool the milk prompt
ly and to guard II from infection Of
any kind All cans and other utensils
should be carefully washed and steril-
lied by heat. The Connecticut expert
ment station discovered several years
ago that a species Of bacteria was the
cause Of bitter milk and cream. This
can be rendered harmless by steriliza-
ton.

in many years. Warren is the smallest

who were chums in their boyhood days
down on the farm will represent the
State in an official capacity. One of these
men is Gov. Hanly; two others, William

of the Governor, and Fremont Goodwin,
who lives in a distant codnty, are Sena-

Legislature. There is not four years
difference in the ages Of the oldest and
youngest.
"The five of us have not been to-
gether,' said Gov. Hanly, "since we sep
arated over twenty years ago. Little did
we think when we were small boys, rum

not boastful. nor can any one accuse
him OF being proud. He is plain fell

measures three inches in diameter and
is in an excellent state of preServii-
ton. having been treasured in buck
skin pouch and exhibited only on oe-
casions when national festivities were
observed.
Upon the face of the medal appears
IN bold relief picture of King George
and an inscription as follows:
"Georgius III. d. G. NJ hri fra ct hib
rex f. D." Upon the reverse side APP

ing the pipe of peace, with three ships
resting at anchor in the distance and
frees by the seashore. Above this pie
ture is the legend: Happy While
United" Surmounting the medal IS
an eagles wing and pipe Of peace.
The treaty medal is regarded as
being the Oldest in existence and
probably commentaries the first conf
pact established between the Indian
and the Saxon. 1t was handed down
from chief to chief until about half a
century ago. when 1t was intruSt,d TO
