eoIixia,s Electrical Storms.

Owing to the peculiar Typographical
formation Of Bolivia. electric and other
phenomena are Of constant occurrence,
the principal zone where such dis
turbances take place being the Alti-
planicie. or grand plateau. As the at.
mosphere is heavily charged with cleo
tricity both in summer and winter.
dry or electric storms are of frequent
occurrence both on the plateau and In
the valleys. Before the rainy season
sets I'm electrical accumulation becomes
considerable on the plateau region. its
most violent manifestations taking
place toward the eastern section of the
tablelands. An electrical storm in these
regions is always most imposing
spectacle. as the tremendous force of
the wind. almost equal to hurricane.
and the heavy electrical accumulation
in the clouds produce terrible atmos-
pheric explosions and violent detona-
tons. while the surface of the ground
sparkles and crackles.

Although the snake appears to have
no legs or feet. 1t may be said to be
practically supplied with upward Of n
hundred pairs of them. In fact. each
Joint Of the backbone bears a pair Of
ribs. which are mobile and have thei-
points attached to the inner surface of
one Of the large transverse. platelike
scales which clothe the undersurface
of the body. Thus by the movements
of the ribs attached to it each plate
can be drawn forward and its margin
applied to the ground. By the success
sive application of these multitudinous
plates the body can be drawn forward
in straight line without its being
thrown into undulations from side to
side. But rapid movements are also ef-
fected by such undulations. and SER

PAsTeuRlzINc MILK.

Simple and Convenient Method Of Do.
ing II at Home.
Milk Is most conveniently pasteur
tied in the bottles in which 1t is de
iivered. To do this use small pail
with a perforated false bottom. An
inverted pie tin with q few holes
punched in 1t will answer the purpose.
This will raise the bottles from the
bottom Of the pail, thus allowing
free circulation Of water and prevent
ing humping Of the bottles. Punch q
hole through the cap Of one OF the
bottles and insert thermometer. The
ordinary floating type Of thermometer
Ii likely to be inaccurate, 50 II possible
good thermometer with the scale
etched on the glass should be used.
Set the bottles Of milk in the pail
and oil the pail with water nearly to
the level of the milk. Put the pail on
the stove or over a gas fame and heat
It until the thermometer in the milk
shows not less than 100 degrees OF
more than 155 degrees F. The bottles
Should then be removed from the wa.
ter and allowed to stand from twenty
to thirty minutes. The temperature
will fall slowly, but may be held more
uniformly by covering the bottles with
4 towel. The punctured cap should be
replaced with a new one or the bottle
should be covered with an inverted
cap. After the milk has been held
as directed II should h cooled To
avoid danger Of breaking the bottle
the water should be warm at first. Re-
place the warm water slowly with cold
water. After cooling milk should in
Ill cases be held at the lowest avail.
able temperature.

Vacation by Think.

Make a compact with your soul to
take vacation and the way is simple.
There are portions Of your time over
which you have control. Probably
your evenings and your Sundays are
your own. Set apart month or 30.
Eliminate the self assigned tasks for
those hours out Of business and give
yourself up to the pursuit Of pleasure.
Get others to join you. Call vacation
club. Adopt real vacation spirit and
60 in for a good time. Resolve never
to speak of work out Of business hours,
but to fill to the full that time which
Is your own with recreations which
most appeal to you. Did you ever sing!
Sing now. Did you ever paint? Paint
now. Remember natures gifts to you
and find occasion to praise nature
within as well as MISUNDERSTANDING.
