Usefulness of Skyroekets.

The white stars in the cheap, one
ball candles" are merely balls of cot
ton soaked with benZine.
Scarcely less indispensable to the
Fourth of July celebration Is the sky
rocket But hundreds Of years before
a Fourth of July celebration was
thought of the skyrocket was used as
a warlike proJectile. We are indebted
to the Chinese for this also, though all
the rockets that are now used in this
country are made here.
The rocket was used for purposes of
war In China as long ago as the early
part of the eighth century. 1t was
soon adopted by the Europeans, who
however, up to the first part of the
present century used 1t mainly for sig
Mailing and as a means of setting fire
to besieged cities. Many improve
ments have been introduced. and rock
cts have been made which win carry
a five pound shot 5000 yards.
The motive power of the rocket is
the pressure against the air of gases
generated by the burning of the com

In its course.
Rockets have long been used by the
life saving service as signals, and al
ships carry a dozen or more on every
voyage, which they send up as signals
of distress In case disaster overtakeS
them. But they are now likely to play
a still more important part in the
work of saving lives of shipwrecked
mariners since rocket has been In
vented which bids fair to take the
place Of the mortar and shot at pres
ent used to carry lines from the shore
to distressed vessels.

TRACES CAUSE
OF TUBERCULOSIS
Strauss Report Attributes Many
Gases to Use Of Diseased Milk.

Stockholm, July 8.-The results of
American investigations of the re-
sponsibility of bovine tuberculosis for
the persistent spread of the disease
among human beings, especially chill
dren. were officially reported today to
the international tuberculosis confer
ence in session here, by Mr.. Nathan
Straus.
The paper by the New York philan-
thropist was presented by DR. Arthur
Randolph Green, medical director of
the Straus pasteurized milk work and
one of the Aemrican delegates to the
conference 1t disclosed for the first
time the evidence gathered by the
American investigators to show the
responsibility of milk from tubercu-
lous cows for the infection of human
beings with tuberculosis.
Mr.. Straus' report declares that the
infection of children with bovine tu-
berculosis should be prevented by for
bidding the sale OF use of milk unless
1t comes from tuberculin tested cows
or unless 1t has been properly pasteur-
lied.
Overwhelming proof of the necessity
OF stopping the use of tuberculous
milk has been supplied particularly
within the past year. by the definite
tracing of large number of cases OF
human tuberculosis of its bovine ori-
gin, according to Mr.. Straus.
The business sessions of the confer
ence will last three days. Some OF the
leading European experts on tubercu-
losis are present as delegates. and
America has sent six men here. They
are DR.. John c. Wise, medical direc-
tor of the United States navy; DR..
Hermann NJ Biggs. of the New York
city health department; DR.. Arnold G.
Klebs, of Chicago; DR.. F. M. Poten-
ger. OF Monrovia, Cal, and Edward F.
Insolvency., of Boston, besides DIR.
