years later the method of evaporating
the milk in raref1ed air to prevent it
from reaching the boiling point was
first used. Commercially the process
was first exploited In the United States,
where there are at present about fifty
factories, which dispose of 200,00O,000
pounds of condensed milk year, val
ued at over $1200O,00O. In Switzer-

The historic walls of Cadiz are being

dream of the people of Cadiz to demol-

to make room for factories and modern
buildings. This dream Is not without
interest to the foreign traveller, since it
includes the laying out of gardens and
building of modern hotels. It is pro-
posed to utilize the material obtained
in lengthening existing piers and re-
claiming land from the sea, thus en-
abling vessels to load and discharge
cargo alongside of wharves instead of
as now by means of lighters in the
often ruffied waters of the bay. The
advantage of this to the desired revival
Of trade in Cadiz cannot be overesti-
mated
