To many persons the curdling OF
milk in thunderstorm is a mysteriou,
and unintelligible 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 a day OF
two under natural conditions would
cause the fluid to sour are peculiarly
susceptible to electricity. Electricity
inspirits and invigorates them, affect.
ing them as alcohol, cocaine or strong
tea affects men. Under the current 5
influence they fall to work with amaG.
ing energy, and instead of taking y
couple of days to sour the milk they
accomplish the task completely in a
half hour. With an electric battery II
is easy on the same principle to sour
the freshest milk.

popuIOus Cheese.

A professor of the Swiss Dairy school
at Sonntal has compiled statistics Of
the number of micro organisms found
in cheese. His experiments lead to the
conclusion that every gram (one-thir-
tieth part of an ounce Of fresh EN-
menthaler (SwissJ cheese contains be-
tween 10000 and 100000 living germs.
After two months the number has in
creased to 100000. Cream cheese con-
tains still larger number of animal
culae, a gram harboring after three
weeks 100000, rising to 100000 after
month and q half, These figures ap.
ply only to the center of the cheese,
while close to the rind families num-
bering 5,5O0,000 bacteria may be found
in every gram Of cheese. In about
one and half pounds of cream cheese,
the professor estimates, there are as
many germs as there are human beings
on the face of the globe. 1t is sup
posed that all or most of these mi
crobes are friendly" ones and assist
In the digestive process. We hope so.

passing and shot him twice in the
stomach. The youth also shot and
MORALLY wounded prison warden

who pursued the assassin. The latter
disappeared and the police were un-
