whx rl,unacr Sour. Mi,L.

10 many persons the curdling Of
milk in Il thunderstorm is mysterious;
and unintciigible phenomenon. Yet
the whole process really is simple and
natural. Milk, like most other sub.
stances, contains millions of bacteria.
The milk bacteria that in day or
two under natural conditions would
cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity
inspirts and invigorates them, affect
ing them as alcohol. cocaine or strong
tea affects men. Under the currents
influence they fall to work with amaz-
Ing energy. and instead of taking Il
couple of days TO sour the milk they
accomplish the task completely In a
half hour. With an electric battery 1t
is easy on the same principle to sour
the freshest milk.

PuI,1lous Cheese.

A professor of the Swiss Dairy school
ut Sonntnl has compiled statistics Of
the number of micro organisms found
In cheese. His experiments lead to the
conclusion that every gram (onethir-
t!eth part of an ouncel of fresh En-
mcntllaier (Swiss) cheese contains be-
tween 90.000 and 100000 Living germs.
After two months the number has in
creased to 100000. Cream cheese con
tains Il still larger number of animal
culac, Il gram hlrboring after three
weeks 10000, rising to 100000 after
month and Il half. These figures ap-
ply only to the center of the cheese.
while close to the rind families mum
bering 5,500.OG0 bacteria may be found
In every :,iam of cheese. In about
cle and Il half pounds of cream cheese

posed that all or most of these mi.

Germany the Modern Rome.

Let the German people keep lesson
from antiquity before their eyes. Once
before an England and Germany of
no less different character have con-
fronted each other. They were Car
thage and Rome. And old Rome with
its policy Of force and power finally
conquered the cash politics of Carthage
and raised itself to the position of the
first power upon earth. We have his
torical example when we say that the
German people must return from the
imitation Of the un-German Cartlngln-
ian-British finance policy and must so
back to the Romano German policy Of
power and might. In no other way
can a really great Wcltpolitik be pro-
NOTED in the hope perhaps Of making
ourselves ultimately the leading: pco-
pie in the world.-Berlin Grcnzboten.

blowing the so.c

Medical experts are calling the at
tention of the public to the Importance
of performing the nose blowing opera
ton in n scientific and hygienic manner
First one nostril and then the other
should be blown without undue vio-
lencc. Doctors state that the two nasal
passages should never be closed ut the
same time. If they are INSTRUCTED, as
in the case of cold. the back of the
throat is filled with compressed air.
and this. together with the discharge
and the microbes which it contains,
may be driven through the eustachial
tube into the middle ear and lead to
serious results. A great authority on
the subject used to forbid his patients
to blow their noses when suffering
from Il cold. The course is hardly one
which will commend itself to those In
the habit of catching colds. The best
advice would seem to be that when IT is
necessary to blow the nose the blowing
should be done gently.-London Mail.

WORK WE'LL UNDER WAY.
Improvements TO santa Fe's Hackney
Line Progressing.

Arkansas City, Kan, Feb. 3.@The
Langtry- Sharp steam shovel which has
been working on the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe's new work between
this city and Hackney for the past few
months has finished its work and will
go to New Mexico to work on the con
struction of a new road there. The
shovel has done all the excavating in
the cuts along the lone where the grade
of the road is being reduced and the
curves are being Strengthened.
The shovel working south of the city
will be through with its work before
the end of the week. While the work
of the two steam shovels is about com
pleted, this does not indicate that the
work on the roadbed is finished It
will take several months to get the
road into shape for running trains over
it as fast as the company desires. The
track must all be ballasted and much
other work done before it is finally
completed.
The bridge across the Walnut river,
just south of Winfield. has been raised
six feet. This work began a week ago
and was finished yesterday. It is no
easy thing to raise a bridge while it is
in use fer the passage of trains all the
time. The Arkansas river bridge south
of the city is being raised and this
work is not yet completed. That is a
much longer bridge and is of wood
which makes the work more difficult.
