5AcTERIoLoGY OF MILK
A Study of Germs 1t Contains Em,h,
sizes Importance of Cleanliness

The bacterial contents of milk :.
a matter that is taking much of tbo
attention of scientists. Some of tbo
cities of the east have passed laws
that no milk shall be sold that cor
tains more than half a million bao
terra per cubic centimeter. One is al.
most staggered by the thought NJ
such number in as little quantity If
milk as is indicated by the cubic cen.
timeter for that is less than cnbic
inch, A centimeter is about one-thr-
ty-ninth of yard, being less than an
inch. That, cubed, gives the cubic
centimeter, which the scientists in.
dictate by &c"
If milk with 100000 bacteria in
every cubic centimeter be allowed 10
be sold, how numerous must the bac.
terra be in some milk? Well. the Ok
lahoma station made a meteorological
examination of some milk that came
to the station after it was 8 $40
days old. Every cubic centimeter Of
that milk contained 462, 100000 bac.
terra. The milk delivered in winter
when it was five days old contained
134,800,000 bacteria.
In summer the first three days after
the milk was drawn saw a steady In
crease in the number of bacteria, and
in winter the bacteria increased for
four days after the milk was drawn.
After that time the bacteria de-
creased, being destroyed by the
products of the germs themselves. In
the summer months a very large
number of the bacteria were gaspro-
ducing.
This shows how necessary it is to
have the milk as clean as possible.
1t must not be supposed that these
bacteria were disease germs, for such
is not the idea Some germs are
bringers of disease and some are not
Some are harmless or improve the
food in which they exist. But it is
recognized that since the disease
germs are numerous at first in milk
the smaller the number of all germs
the smaller is likely to be the mum.
Der of disease germs. Moreover,
even the Tactic acid ferments hasten
the souring of the milk, and that de-
stroys it for some of the purposes
Tor which it is bought in cities. Ihe
germ content is therefore limited
by law.

Construction of Cement Houses.
Mr.. Edison promises All ornate con.
crete house, 20x40 feet and three
stories high. in the near future for a
thousand and fifty dollars. The house
is such as commonly sells in the cities
Tor from four to eight thousand dol
lars, according to the location and
value of the land. The thousand dol
lars, of course, does not include the
cost of the land According to MIR
Edison, the house can be built in 70
hours after the molds are set up, and
1t will take only 10 hours or so to put
the molds In position. After six days
the concrete will have set so that the
molds can be removed and in six days
more Mr.. Edison says that the walls
will be so dry that the house will
probably be ready for occupancy" II
he can make good these promises, re.
marks the Youths Companion, a new
record in house-building will be estab-
lished. After all, this is not the kind
of house for a poor man to build In the
country, for the molds will cost $25,.
900, and the machinery for pumping
the cement into them will cost $4,000
more, making an investment OF $40,-
600. But where houses are to be
built in long rows, as In the large
cities, a company with sufficient CAPT
tai might not only make money for
Itself, but provide fre-proof houses
for those of moderate means at about
half the cost of those now built of
brick.

New York city is afflicted with a

accommodation afforded by the mu.

beyond their capacity. The winter
usually sees an influx of the kind. anG
this year 1t is exceptionally large,

York is recognized by the tramp fra.
ternity as easy" A plan to have the
Migrants kept at work breaking stone
or in other ways is under discussion.

An English writer, In discussing the
smoke nuisance. declares that the la
Dor 1t entails through the spread OF
dust and SCOT, the darkening of the
sky and the injury of fabrics, furni-
ture and other property are not the
chief evils. A smoky atmosphere, he
says, has deleterious effect on the
human organism and shows its infu-
ence in nervous debility and a stunted
life, vitality, mentally and morally 1t
is most especially productive of dis
eases of the bronchial tubes. 1t is not
necessary to wait for patent smoke
consumers, he says, since almost
complete combustion can be obtained
by proper stocking, These statements
are not new, but cannot be too often
repeated Since so many authorities
agree that smoke Is injurious to
health 1t would seem that the enforce
ment of the smoke ordinance right
fully belongs to the department of
public health. This same British
writer estimates that in London 40
per cent. of the fuel used is wasted by
careless firing. If owners of chin
neys could once be convinced of the
extent of this wastefulness reform
would be more rapid as matter of
economy.
