Cause of Trouble-TroubIe in Pal
ace Is Denied.

Pekin, Feb. 26.-The guards around
the forbidden city have been doubled,
and all the palaces and residences of
high officials are especially guarded.
The police, who have hitherto carried
batons, are now armed with rifles All
the officials that are accessible either
refuse any information or profess ig-
norance of the reasons for the precau-
lions that have been taken, and as a
result many rumors are afloat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
of the dowager empress over the pre-
valence of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic few
days ago autographed the government
warning it against several revolution
airy students who were departing from
Japan for China. Two packages of
dynamite have been found in the
street, outside of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. A report finding credence is
that a quarrel is afoot within the pal
ace between the partizans of the EN-,
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne
but it is not confirmed.

All information obtainable indicates
that the military measures at the pal
ace were only precautionary, and were
rumors that there would be trouble

packages of dynamite outside the pal

WHY THUNDER SouRS MILK
Electricity, in the Air Sets Microbes
Working with Wonderful
Energy.

TO many persons the curdling of
milk in thunderstorm is a mysteri-
GUS and unintelligible phenomenon.
Milk, like most other substances,
contains millions of bacteria The
milk bacteria that in a day or two,
under natural conditions, would cause
the fluid to sour, are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to electricity. Electricity in
spirits and invigorates them, affecting
them as alcohol, cocaine or strong
tea affect men. And under the cur
rents influence they fall to work
with amazing energy, and instead OF
taking a couple Of days to sour the
milk, they accomplish the task COM
pletelE in half an hour.
1t is not the thunder in q storm
that sours milk; ii is the electricity
In the air that does It With an cleo
trio battery it is easy, on the same
principle, TO sour the freshest milk
A strong current excites the microbes
to supermicrobic exertions. and in q
