THE DAIRY
The Mechanical and Chemical Effect of
Milk on the Human.
"a. e. Cue, M. d.

Milk is the normal secretion of the
mammary glands of all mammals, and
the milk of all mammals has similar
composition, consisting of fat, sugar.
albuminoids, mineral constituents, and
small quantities of other compounds
The milk of the cow has been studied
in greater detail than that of any other
animal on account of the extended use
of this animals milk and the products
derived from it as human food. Our
knowledge of the chemical composition
Of cows milk is very complete, while
studies, more or less Incomplete, nave
been made of the milk yielded by wom-
an, the goat, the ass, the mare, and the
sheep. While there may exist a wide
difference in the sustaining qualities of
the mammary secretion OF different ami
mails as applied to man, this difference
will be found not only In the chemical
properties of the milk, as given by the
chemists, but we will also add tnat
there is a mechanical effect which milk
produces on the human tissues that
must not be lost sight or. There is also
a vitality which the animal has which
produces the milk that is essential. This
vitality is marked by Gel cain character
istics which are all important and to
which we will refer later.
Briefly our scheme is to show the me-
chanical and chemical effect of milk on
the human, and why we claim the Hol-
stein Friesian cow is the food-producing
IDEAL While the chemistry of the differ
ent constituents of milk is only in its
infancy and 1t may seem premature TO
discuss such at this time, still, for the
purpose Of this paper, 1T will be quite
necessary to hint at some of the obscure
truths. word first as to the 1nd1v1d-
nal constituents of milk The fat, for in
stance is of peculiar and complex COM
position; it differs from other fats In
that it contains compound glycerine; 1t
exists in milk in small globules and
each globule is surrounded by true
membrane. Now, this last is a proven
fact and T would ask you not to debate
it for the present, but bear 1T In mind
for future use in the study of this
paper.
The sugar in milk is also of peculiar
nature; that Of the cows milk Is called
'lactose," or, more commonly, sugar or
milk. It is generally assumed that all
milk contains the same sugar; and
while it may be So it is fact that the
sugar of one animal seems to have a
property not found in that of another.
For instance, the sugar of the milk OF
the mare has the property Of easily
undergoing alcoholic fermentation, a
property not possessed by the sugar
found in cows milk so also is 1T fact

MAZACAN IN REVOLT
Tangier Reports Another Mo- roccan Town Bombarded.
SHELLS KILL THREE HUNDRED.
Mail Steamer Emir to Save French Residents From Massacre-Casa-
 blanca Held by Foreign BIuejackets.

TANGIER, Aug. 8.-Reports brought in by native runners here say that a serious revolt has broken out at Ma zagan, a seacoast town to the south of Casablanca, and that the lives of Europeans there are in danger. It is said that French cruiser from Casa blanca has arrived and has lombard ed the forts.
 The pasha of Casablanca has sent apologies to the French consul.
 When the French charge d'affaires. the Count de St. Allaire, learned of the bombardment of Casablanca he impediately visited Mohammed el Torres, the sultan's representative at Tangier, and requested him to take steps to assure the safety of Euro peans there and in other Moroccan towns. Torres replied that he would renew the instructions he had already issued as to that.
 The French legation here has re- quisitioned the mall steamship Emir to proceed to Mazagan and bring away the French residents there, as the situ- ation as Mazagan is grave and there is no French warship available
 The commander of the warship Cali lee reports that the outskirts at Casa blanca were bombarded at the direct request of the military commander, who confessed he was p0werless to withstand Arab attack on the town. Three hundred Moors are now said to have been killed.
 Casablanca is now occupied by ma rines from the warships. with rapid fire guns, and the work of installing the International police force will be- gin as soon as possible.
 | News of the bombardment has made a deep impression upon the native rioters. particularly the ease with which the most holy shrines were knocked to pieces by shells from the | cruisers.
 The military commander at Casa blanca sent excuses to the French con- sulate for the attack on the landing l party from the Galilee, for which he blamed the customs guard.
 The consul thereupon demanded that the culprits be given up to him. The commander compiled and sent the sol dlers in chains to the consulate. The consul intnated that they would be instantly shot at the first sign of fresh | trouble.

SWANS GUARDED THE BODY.
Birds Seemed to Be Guided by Some
 Strange Instinct.

Two stately swans and half a dozen brilliant-plumaged ducks circled and circled about wooden box that float ed on the lake in Central park the other afternoon, says the New York World. Believing some kindly person had put food in the box for the birds, the crowds that were out in rowboats did not disturb the graceful water fowl For hours the box drifted about with the currents of the lake, always accompanied by its escort of birds. Then Thomas Donahue, who has charge of the park water fowl, ob- served the strange actions of his pets, and got a rowboat Donahue over took the box 20 feet from shore on that part of the lake opposite West Seventy-seventh street. He was hor- rified to find in 1t the body of baby about one week old. The body was taken to the Arsenal Police station in the park, where Lieut.. McGirr said he believed the child had been dead two days. It is mystery to the police how the box foated on the lake two days without any one discovering its contents. Dohahue says he had missed several of his swans and ducks during that period, and he believes the birds remained with the box.

FOR FORTY YEARS.
Won Fahrig. Chief of Auto
 Burglars, Sentenced.
GIRL GAvE.LONG ISLAND GANG AWAY
Christian schlang Is Sent to Sing Sing For Twenty-five Years, Ills Mother Five and Bello-
 wftx Seven.

MINEOLA, N. Y, Aug 8-August Won Fahrig, leader of the gang of au- tomobile burglars which for months has terrorized Long Island residents, was sentenced to forty years at hard labor in Sing Sing on only three of sixteen counts which he had pleaded guilty to by County Judge Jackson.
 The homes of more than fifty wealthy residents of Long Island were despoiled by Von Fahrigs band, and thousands of dollars worth of loot was recovered by the police in house in New York, while piles of watches, jewelry, gems, clothing and furs were found in Von Fahrig's hotel. which he ran as blind to hide his vocation.
 Christian Schlang, another of the burglars, who turned states evidence and who is only nineteen years of age, was sent to Sing Sing prison for twen- ty-five years, and his mother, Mrs. Alma Schlang, who pleaded guilty of receiving stolen property, was sent to Auburn prison for five years.
 Miss Ingrid Williams, twenty years of age, the sweetheart of young Schlang, who gave the information which resulted In conyicting the rob bers, will be set free. She has been in jail since the gang was arrested in Won Fahrig's hotel. She says she will return to Virginia and lead reformed life, as she is through with robbers forever. Another robber, Morris Bel lowitz, was sentenced to not more than twelve nor less than seven years in Sing Sing.
 In passing sentence on yon Fahrig, Judge Jackson said:
 'Von Fahrig, you are crimanal by record, and I could send you to Sing Sing prison for life, as you have been indicted for sixteen burglaries, but l will be lenient with you and will give you a sentence of only forty years at hard labor. For robbing the home of E. L. Morrison of Lynbrook I sentence you to sixteen years. For robbing James Hopkins house in Ce- .darhurst. will add sixteen years, and for stealing the horse. Parkville Prince, and a wagon from the stable of w. II. Bowne, at Glen Cove, will add eight years more, making forty years in all.
 T will not impose any sentence upon you for the other thirteen counts of the indictment"
 When Christian Schlang. who plead ed guilty to three indictments for bur glary was arraigned, Judge Jackson said:
 I Although only nineteen years old you are hardened criminal. I sen tence you to ten years imprisonment for robbing the Nome of P. R. Jen- nings of Merrick:. ten years for rob ping the home of W. E. Kenney, at Merrick, and five more for stealing the horse, Parkville Prince, making twenty-five years at hard labor"
 The young robber took his sentence coolly until his aged father ran toward him, threw both arms about his son and kissed him. Then both wept.
 Mrs. Schlang, the mother of the boy, was then sentenced to five years in Auburn prison for receiving the stolen property.

.vORACI0Us ANTS
ACTUALLY ATTEMPTING TO RAT
 UP SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTE {
Seventeen TrIlIIon White Pests Which Are Working Untold Damage in the Museum at
 Washington.

This is the story of foreign inva- sion which may we'll make the patriot sit up and ask how 1t will end An army of 17,O0O,000, ,OO0, 900 whit ants is devastating the fine Smithsonian in- stitute at Washington, and not since the British years ago swept over the city and burned the chief buildings has Washington faced so dire 8 foe. These terrible pests-termites. as they are called scientifically TT have been appearing from time to time in the building. It has been found im- possible to exterminate them, and their numbers, despite every effort to reduce them, have gradually increas- ed, until this summer there are, It isi estimated, 17,OO0, ,OOO,OOO,0oO of the ants in the institution, and the family is still growing.
 Woodwork is disappearing, the flooring is falling away in places, andl what the ants have done to the parts of the building which are hidden from open view can only be guessed, until necessity shall require an overhaul- ing of the whole building. 1:
 Where the white ants came from mo-; body can tell. Perhaps back in the ante-Langley days, some curator had them imported from their native lair, which is South America, for study of their habits. In the tropics, wherel these termites abound, they are more than nuisance, they are positive menace to peace and life. They de- stroy immense buildings by undermine ing their foundations. They swarm through towns, driving the inhabitants to the country. They swarm overt farms, and leave devastation behind even as the locust does in the places where he goes. They cannot be killed by any means except fire, or liberal use of kerosene. They increase more rapidly than any other known species of ant, and that is at a rate almost beyond computation. They are hide- ous to look at, being soft, unlike the North American ant, and bristlingl with slight fuzz. They are armed with little saw-like mandibles, which can make their. way through the hard est wood in an incredibly short time.

ieries Bored by the White Ants. And their appetite is appalling in its sizei
 The white ants first appeared in the Smithsonian institution about al dozen years ago. There was wonder at their presence so far north as Washington, for, except in rare cases. they are never seen further north than Georgia, and seldom so far up as that. The authorities to whose at tention they were called ordered that. they be driven out. and efforts were made to have the orders fulfilled. Kerosene seemed to be the one thing that the termites did not like. and it was given to them unstintingly. It. killed thousands of them. and the rest retired. They were not seen again for a year or more. Then they came back, with their grandchildren.
 This time there were thousands and thousands more of them. and they soon made their presence felt. Whole window sashes were turned from solid wood to sawdust under the industry of their saw-bills. The flooring was eaten away from the walls for the space of three or four inches. and the cases in which rare specimens of butterflies and birds were kept were chewed to fine powder.
 More energetic remedies were em- pioyed, and the ants lost terribly. The remainder 1t seemed scarcely a handful. so many millions of them were left dead-departed. and the in- stitution heaved a sigh of relief
 But the joy of the authorities was soon to be dispelled. for. with the next sign of hot weather. out cams the white ants. and year after year they have repeated their spring visit. each time destroying more and more rrOpsTty, as their numbers have In- creased. Now there is positive dan ger to the institution in their annual zppearance as the building is drawn ca so heavily 10 feed them that the uoo5work has become weakened.
