UNCLE SAM RECEIVES
GRATUITOUS SERVICE

Territorial Surveyor w. Z. Wall
sends to Washington by the outgoing
mail the tide sheets taken here for
the past six months. This is in the
line of voluntary work for the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey
which for some time has been without
a representative here. A member of
the departmental staff who looks after
the work is allowed a concession of
time in office hours for the early morn
ing hour at which he takes the tide
sheets.
Whenever a shipwreck or an earth
quake on this hemisphere is reported
to Washington, an inquiry is cabled to
the Hawaiian Survey Department for
information of any phenomena that
may have been observed here which
might have a bearing on the event.
1t would seem strange that Uncle
Sam, looking so well after the other
Federal services in Hawaii, should al
low the position of surveyor of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey to remain
so long vacant There ought to be
lot of interesting work for that SER
vice along the greatly-diversifed
coasts of these islands.

TO KEEP MILK FRESH.

In a bulletin of the New York agrl-
cultural experiment station at Geneva
attention is called 10 the results OF some
tests to determine to what extent car
bonic acid gas delays the souring "
milk. The gas was found effective in
some cases, 80 that its use appears to
be commercially practicable" TO quote
the bulletin. The best results" says
the report. Were secured when newly
pasteuriZed milk or cleanly drawn fresh
milk was treated with carbon diONidc

adjustments in preparing carbOnated
drinks, and thus placed in siphOn bot

from 20 to 10 pounds and kept at tenn
peratures ranging from thirty-five de
srees to sixty degrees bottles of clean,
fresh milk or paSteuriZed milk kept
from four to five months without per
Ceptible increase in acidtty. There are
several practical applications in which
cHrbOnated milk may find possible use

II is also possible that carbonated milk

GEORGE WASHINGTON
AS A BRIDEGROOM
"First Citizen" Began Married Life
With Considerable Estate.

When Washington brought his bride
home to Mt. Vernon he had only just
entered upon his twenty-eighth year.
His marriage increased his already con-
siderable fortune by about 100000 equiv
alent, perhaps, to at least four times
that sum at the present day. The early
death of his stePdaughter further
swelled his fortune brought him by his
wife. His landed possessions were triv-
ial compared to those OF his neighboTs
at Belvoir. but he must have been one
of the greatest Of the Virginia planters
he was made vestryman in two par
ishes. The church of one was zen miles
away, IN Alexandria, and is still stand
ing That of the other was seven miles
distant, at Pohick. This church was re-
built upon the designs Of Washington,
and largely by his own contributions.
He attended ore church or the other
was such as to permit Of the long drive
over bad roads. Washington now drove
about in a chariot with four horses and
nVerled positions, and in other ways
maintained his dignity as a colonial
mHgndte. Some Of his wealthy neigh
bOrs moved about the waters of the Po-
tomac IN costly barges imported from
England and manned by many negro
roWers. There were dinners at Mt Yer
non and at BelVOir after the fox hunts,
in which washington and his neighboTs.
the FairfaNes, took part, and these
feasts were garnished with all the lux
uries of a country rich ia the food Of
land and water.
Deer, Wild turkeys. and smaller game
birds, along with canvasback duck, oys-
ters and the best of fish, were abundant
IN the Potomac country of that day.
One of the Maryland CAROLS of about
this time. writing to his son, then a
student at the Middle Temple, iu Lon
