A Great Bonfire,

The biggest bonfire ever seen in
this vicinity was the burning Satur-
day night of the old Portsmouth, N.
H., government drydock, which was
towed to the Point of Pines a few
weeks ago to be broken up for junk.
The immense structure, which cost
100000, went up in smoke for the
amusement OF about 10000 people.
The old dock was fired at 1880, and so
solid was the timbering that after
blazing for six hours the frame still
stood. 1t was $50 feet long and ITO
feet wide and contained millions of
feet Of heavy timber. Great sheets
of fame shot up hundreds of feet and
the column of smoke made a beacon
that was seen far out to sea. Scores
OF yachts and launches took out pleas
ure parties and lay in the vicinity to
watch the burning.

Pasteurizer for Apple Juice.

Juice from the milk screw is invariably
considerably clearer than that from
the cream screw. The reason for this
is not apparent; the fact, however,
was always observed. The juice from
the cream screw is, in turn, much
clearer than the untreated juice.
The Qualification of 25 gallons of
juice, using one machine of the
capacity indicated and a juice contain
ing sediment in such quantity that a
run OF that amount would fill the
space between the disks and the sides
of the bowl with sediment, requires
about one hour and quarter, the
juice passing through the bowl twice.
AS soon as the juice is clarified by
the separator, it must be sterilized in
closed containers. The points which
have been carefully determined in this
work have been the lowest safe tenn
perature and the shortest period of
heating for bottles and for cans.
If the juice is not to be packed and
shipped, glass fruit jars, or bottles
with patent shoppers, may be employ
ed, but to stand shipping well, sealed
cans or cork-stoppered bottles must
be used
In the work with bottles, quart
bottles of the champagne type were
used. These were filed with clari-
fed juice, some air space being left
to allow for expansion Of the LIQUID
on heating. The bottles were placed
upright and entirely submerged in
water in tank which could be heat
ed by jet of steam. About Is min
utes were required to bring the water
in the tank up to the temperatures
employed in the several sets of ex-
periments, namely, 40 degrees, 149
degrees and 1853 degrees fahrenheit
go degrees, IS degrees and 70 de.
grees c.. After the bottles were
placed in the tank from Is to 80 min
utes we're required for the contents of
the bottles to attain the temperature
used. One-half hour was, therefore
allowed before beginning to count
time in these tests-15 minutes to
bring the bath up to the temperature
and Is minutes holding at this tenn.
perature for the juice in the bottle to
attain the bath temperature. The bot
ties were withdrawn at intervals and
set away on their sides in baskets
being kept in a warm room whose
temperature was quite constant day
| and night, between 70 and IS degrees
F. The bottles were agitated and
| notes taken on them from day to day
The results show that a tempera
ture of 149 degrees F. (65 degrees c.
for one hour will give good results
and that 1853 degrees F. GO degrees
CO. for one-half hour also gives good
results. Only very slight cooked
| taste is given to the juice by heating
at 1853 degrees for one hour-slightly

A method of Qualification of apple
juice which is cheap and may be ap-
piled on small or large scale, is
Qualification by use of a cream sepa-
rator. Repeated trials have shown
that cream separator can successful
ly clarity the juice, leaving only traces
of sediment in the product. Absolute
clearness of the juice is not produced
by use of the machine, but practically
all sediment can be removed by this
process. In the experimental work to
be described hand-power cream sepa-
rator of the disk type was employed
The first trial of the method indicated
that satisfactory Qualification Of ap-
pie juice could readily be obtained by
use OF the separator, and many further
trials have confirmed these early indi-
cations. The suspended matter in the
juice collects in the bowl of the sepa-
rator, while the clean juice runs out
through the machine, the heavier
particles originally present-the starch
grains and any soil or dirt particles,
together with some albuminous matter
ARE to be found tightly packed in
the lower part of the tubular shaft in
the bowl of the machine, while a
heavy layer of albuminous material is
Invariably packed on the inner side of
the bowl and higher layer on the in
ner side Of the bowl cover The disks
remain quite free from sediment
When the space between the disks
and the sides of the bowl is quite filed
with sediment, the flow from the milk
screw ceases and the flow from the
cream screw is much increased. At
this time the machine should be
stopped and the bowl cleaned. The

The Winnipeg (Canada) Free Press
of few days since contains account
of the success that followed the Ell.
forts of William Knowles, an English
man who located near Winnipeg, Man

tiers giving experiences of settlers,
and should be encouraging to those
who are. looking about for a new

conditions. The following is a copy,
Of the article referred to:
William Knowles. who cultivates
some twelve acres of land just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side of the
Red River has probably as fine a dis
play of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole of his hold
ing is in high state Of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens. which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are a wonderful crop, and he
expects to raise 1,500 bushels from
his patch of 41a acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 900
plants, all growing under an enor-
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press Office.
+ The proprietor was the first in
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markedly healthy. In addition there
are good crops of cabbages, cauliflow-
er, turnips, parsnips, carrots, pump
kins, marrows, cucumbers, celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb, etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the we'll
known blooms were shown, including
specially choice lot of asters

his gardening experience in England,

for vegetable raising, and is gratihed

DISPLAYING FLOWERS.

They Show to tho Best Advantage In
the Simplest Vases.
When displaying flowers in vases, as
on a metal or center table, one thing
ought to be borne in mind, and that
is, the palmer the vase the better the
flowers will show, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Somebody says that the difference
between vase and>a 'vahze" is that
the latter costs more than $3.50. But
a "vahze" that costs IS or Sc is now
called an amphora, and both the
"vahze" and the amphora we're never
intended for use, but to be placed on
stands or in inches as evidences that
their owner has money to burn. To
put flowers in either would spoil the
effect of the flowers, for the eye would
be attracted by the beauty or material
Of the receptacle and the flowers
would be overshadowed.
To get the best possible effect Of
flowers put them in the plainest posi-
BILE vase or bowl that will not attract
attention, then they will be appreci
ated for themselves and no compari.
son will be instituted between them
and the recepticle that holds them.
A double-handful of oxeye daisies,
black-eyed Susans, rudbeckias, corn
flowers or any other common blossom
will show to more advantage in a
brown earthen pitcher than in the
costliest amphora ever carved out Of
Parian marble.
The Japanese understand this prin-
siple. All their flower vases are Of
the plainest possible construction.
But the flower loving Japs go to the
opposite extreme In displaying their
flowers and try by judicious arrange
ment to get the best possible results
from very few flowers. They seldom
display more than half dozen flowers
in a vase and try always to have
more foliage than bloom, making
green the predominant color, thus set
ting of to the best advantage the tint
Of the flower against a neutral back
ground. That, however, is matter of
taste. A few flowers well displayed
give an effect of dainty elegance.
Americans like flowers in the mass,
but the good taste of both agrees re.
garding the simplicity Of the vase. x

EGYPTIAN PLAN URGED.
Proposed Employment of Capital in
the PHILIPPINES.

public hearing was had today before
the Senate committee on the Philippines in
support of the plan of the Philippine COM
mission to induce capital to go into the
islands to be employed as loans on agricul-
tural lanos, and providing a government
guaranty of per cent on such Investments
There were heard in support of the PROPOSE
ton Prof E. w. Kermerer of Cornell Uni
versiry, Prof. jeremiah jerks, financial ex-
pert employed by the War Department, and
former Gov. Henry w. Ide Of the Philip
pine Islands.
Prof. jerks spoke at length concerning
the purposes Of the bill. 1t is proposed to
permit loans to the extent of 80 per cent of
the value of the lands in certain cases, and
only to 80 per cent of the value in most
cases.
Gov. Ide showed that without the pro-
posed government guaranty there is hesi-
fancy on the part of capital to go into the
islands, and said that farmers, therefore.
posed definitely to limit the amount of cap
ital that may be used In this mannc-. ex-
cept as there is limit in the provision that
the government shall not be liable for more
than $500. COO.
All OF the men appearing before the COM
mittee opposed the plan of establishing a
government agricultural bank on account of
the difhculty that might be encountered In
collecting the loans or the interest, and the
prejudice that would be raised against the
United States IL force were used for that
purpose. The plan suggested Is that now

FOR THE cHILDREN's HOSPITAL.
A Donation Of $4,000 From Guest
at the Gridiron Dinner.

For several years it has been the custom
of the Gridiron Club to send the wealth o.
flowers which adorn the tables during their
dinners to the childrens wards of the hos
pitfalls in Washington city, and last Satur-
day night, during the dinner at the New
Willard, the president of the club, Mr..
Blythe, announced that early on Sunday
morning the flowers on the tables would be
sent to the Children's Hospital and to the
chiIdren's wards in all the hospitals in
Washington. He requested the guests
therefore, not to- disturb the flowers. The
announcement was received with applause
by the guests, and soon after President
Blythe received note from Mr.. George A
Kessler of New York, who was one of the
guests at the dinner. that he. was. SO
touched by the beautiful idea of sending
the flowers to the Children's Hospital. that
he desired to have the club transmit, with
the flowers to- the Childfen's Hospital
SIS 600 as a gift from him. His check for
that amount accompanied the note. AT a
special meeting of the Gridiron Club to-
day the matter was brought before the
club and formal action was taken author
izing the transfer OF Mr.. Kessler,s check to
the treasurer of the Children's Hospital.
