MILK TRAFFIC IN BOSTON.

Concentration of the Business Con- stant1y Increases-More shops.
 This city receives 36S,S49 quarts of milk daily, but not all of it Is being ] used here, says the Boston Transcript.
 The centraliZation of the milk traf- fic Is constantly increasing. This Is well Illustrated by the rapidly lessen ing number of milkmen. At this time there are only 316 licensed dealers, a loss of twentyelght over the preced- ing year. This naturally means more business for the remaining milkmen. 1 The number of shops selling milk shows an increase of 117 over 1905; 3,746 shops are now engaged in the sale of milk in this city.
 About 123,250 quarts are subjected to commercial pasteurization daily, which means the heating of the milk to be- l tween 150 and ITO degrees Fahrenheit The milk inspector does not approve this method unless 1t is regulated by labelling the product.
 During the summer months one firm l claims to supply the customers with milk twelve hours old and another con cern delivers milk to portion of its patrons throughout the summer months of the same age, while the balance Of its customers receive their milk when it is twenty-five hours old. Another firm in winter serves one-half of its family trade with milk twelve hours old, while the remaining retail custom CTS are given milk twenty-four hours old. The greater portion of the milk delivered by contracting firms Is from twenty-four to thirty-six hours old portion of the milk supply of one large firm is forty-eight hours old. Another large concern supplies milk to 10 per cent of its stores and restaurants which is from forty-eight to sixty hours old. Milk of forty-eight to sixty hours old, to be of good quality, must have been produced and kept under ideal condi- lions

Evening Hym n.

 Glory to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thine own Almighty wings. Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The i'll that this day have done; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere l sleep, at peace may be. Teach me to live, that may dread The grace as little as my bed; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day. Oh, may my soul on Thee repose; And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close Sleep, that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when 1 awake. When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply i Let no i'll dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. Praise God, from whom all blessings
 flow: Praise Him, all creatures here below Praise Him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Thomas Ken.

LAPPS ARE ON THE DECREASE.
And With Them the Reindeer Is Growing Constantly Scarcer.

The Lapps are decreasing in number, says the Philadelphia Record. The most sansuinc estimate of the numbers of the entire race in Norway, Sweden and Russia does not place them above 54,000. By some the number is placed far lower on the strength of trust worthy data. In Norbotten the numbel of Lapps is 5000, of whom 2,500 are nomad Lapps, and 800 families haU abandoned their wandering habits, have built habitations here and there, and have endeayored, with more or less success, to initiate the life of the Swedish settler.
 That the race must die out eventual Iy Is certain, and It's diminution may be very speedy. though Its complete extinction may be still far off, since there Is no race that can possibly take its place on the reindeer fjaell. Yet even here we come upon a factor which has, perhops, hardly been reckoned with. We mean the decrease of the herds of tame reindeer.
 This has been going on in the last quarter of a century with striking ra- pldity. In one district alone In the last twelve years. the reindeer have dimin- ished from an estimated 3OOOO to an estimated 1000. This decrease Is ex- plalned varlously. The commonest and most plausible explanation, which car rles the authority of men well qualified to judge, Is that the demand for rein deer flesh, which has been brought nearer to- the Lapp by the opening of the Bohemian railway, has tempted them to part with the deer at rate too rapid for their production.
 The herd of reindeer, which are taken off the high fjaell down to their winter quarters. are now within four or five days of Stock holm, and there Is a good demand for reindeer flesh. It Is said that the Lapp, who Is no more able to resist strong drink than any other half-ciyilized man, is piled freely with brandy. and in that state will part with his reindeer for a trifling sum-, UT eNtu lOE q lItsl Dolllt Ol SplTllS or two. And he goes back to his fjaell stripped of half his herd, and with nothing to show for It.
 But there Is another cause also al- legged, and that by equally good author ities It Is said that Swedish state edu- cation is having upon the Lapp the ef- feet which not uncommonly follows the early stages of learning. Every au- tumn Swedes and Lapps alike send down their children to the nearest na- tional school, where they remain for the winter months, the Lapps In most cases having "seminaries" to them selves. And 1t Is declared that In the case of both races alike, after a few years of this training the youngest generation, when It comes to the age of choosing it's way of life, shows an unwilllngness to return to the hard out door life of the homes in the interior.

Where Rubies Are Found.

In Mogok they see everything In a r,lbv light, men, women and children. Every visitor must want to buy, they think. However hungry or thirsty the traveller may be on arrival, the hrst thing he hears spoken of Is rubies.
 All Mogok seems to be fishing with bamboo holsters, says W. G. Fitzgerald in the Technical World. And they are fishlng-for rubles. in the precious "byon," that rivals in richness the famous ''blue ground" of Kimberley.
 But no industry Is more uncertain than winning fine rubies In Burmah. One tunnel was supposed by the local engineers to contain S15,00O,0OO worth, vet 1t seemed to fizzle out suddenly. The monopoly abandoned 1t, after spending much time and money, and then came along few gentle, almond- eyed Shans and made an immense for tune out of the derelict mine.
 A very few fine rubies enormously outyalue a great quantity of rough pale stones. But when all Is said ruby mining Is slow and disappointing work and rarely averages more than S15,ooo for each acre treated. It is shrewdly suspected by the white men in Mogok that the richest mines of all are at this moment growing scratch crops of poor grain belonging to fanatical na- tlves, who literally place above ruhjesu es the Bible has It, the land and manners of their forefathers.

 British battleships are being provid- ed with searchlights by the light of which newspaper can be read at a distance of eighteen miles. They have 4S-inch projectors.
 The village of Sohrusan, In Bohemia, which was found to be built on a val uable coal bed, has been bought for S50O,0O0 by a speculator and razed to the ground. The inhabitants, who num- Der more than 1000, are rebuilding their houses a mile away.
 With the final closure of the Colo rado river, the great Salton sink, which is inundated as the result of poorly constructed headgate of ar irrigation canal and rapidly converted into an inland sea, will gradually dry up. h. asmuch as there are practically 10 out lets for this vast body of water, the sink must naturally eyaporate to dry ness. According to one opinion the Salton Sea will dry up in about eight years.
 The growing importance of the metal tantalum, owing to Its employment in the preparation of filaments for incan- descent lamps, gives interest to the re- cent discoveries of minerals containing tantalum In Western Australia. As long ago as 1891 tantalum was found at Bimberg, combined with niobium and antimony. Later It was discovered near the same place In combination with Iron. Quite recently a combina- ton of 10 per cent tantalum and 30 Wodgina. It occurs in blocks weighing as much as 30 pounds.
 The German War Department has taken much pains to select color for uniforms to be used in active service which will prove as inconspicuous as possible in the field. As means of concealing operations In battle, in these days of long-range guns, an invisible" uniform for infantry ranks with smoke less powder. The German experiments have demonstrated that the color which comes nearest to making soldiers h. visible In an ordinary landscape Is gray-green. Simple gray, on the con trary, makes q very conspicuous uni form amid the same surroundings. Ad- dltional tests are to be made to deter mine the best color for winter wear, and especially amid snow-covered land scapes.
 The delicate measurements demand ed by modern scientific processes and machines have led to the invention of many instruments of precision that sur prise the uninitiated by their capabili- ties, which are often based on extreme ly simple principles. among these Is a little apparatus recently put upon the market in France for determining the thickness, or, one might say, lack of thickness, of extremely thin plates. wires and threads. The inventor likens it's action to that of lever in which ray of light takes the place of the beam. Essentially the apparatus consists Of two carefully ground plates in contact with one another, the upper one being alIacueu u HlON dpIe dl L4i' " heA oh object is placed between the edges of the plates the upper plate Is displaced a little in level, and the effect of this displacement Is magntied by reflected ray of light which falls upon gradu- ated scale. Thus the most delicate measurements of thickness are easily and quickly made.
