FISH MILK FLOODED JERSEYS
Story Must Be True, Because superin-
tendent of Westinghouse Estate
Vouches for It,

Lenox, Superintendent Nor
man of the George w. Westinghouse
estate, is sponsor for this remarkable
nature story.
The blooded Jersey COWS OF Mr..
Westinghouse recently ceased to give
milk. Watch was kept and when the
COWS walked into a pond it was no.
ticed that the pet carp in the pond
seized the opportunity to gorge them
selves with milk. To prove just where
the milk went, employees Of the place
cast hooks and lines into the wa
ter. The first carp to bite fought
gamely and thrashed about in the wa
ter fully Is minutes before it was land
ed. When cut open there were no
traces of the milk, but instead several
tiny balls of butter, the product of
the churning incident to the struggles
Of the carp.
superintendent Norman squelched
with a whitening glance the suggestion
that closer inspection of the butter
might even reveal the imprint of the
Westinghouse coat-of-arms.

YOSEMITE WATERS IN RUSH
Tourists in Panic When Falls, Dry
for Several Weeks, is Flooded by
Huge Cloudburst.

Yosemite, Cal.-Yosemite Falls, one
Of he sights of the valley, which has
been dry for several weeks, because
Of the lack Of rain, was restored to
activity the other evening with a sud-
denness that caused a panic among
the guests of the hotel.
Shortly before seven o'clock, a wall
of water plunged over the top of the
fall, coming without warning. The
solid mass of water took the $500
foot leap to the bottom, landing with
a roar that could be heard for miles
The volume of water now pouring
over the falls is equal to that OF any
spring high water record.
While no definite news has been re-
ceived, it is supposed there was a
cloudburst in the mountains.
Guests at the hotel were at dinner
when the crash of the falling water
came. They leaped to their feet in
alarm, deafened by the noise, and
made their way outside to witness
the unusual spectacle

FOOD HEAT VALUES
WHERE THE GOVERNMENTS Elk
PERIMENTS ARE FAULTY.
More Valuable information Could Be
Obtained if Man Fed Badly Cooked
Meal Mere Put in
CaIorimeter.

The department Of agriculture is
conducting a series of novel experl
ments to determine the relative en-,
ergy Of heat value of certain foods.
The subject selected for experiment
is required to eat particular food.
He then passes into the Calorimeter.
or heat measurer-an alright glass
cage which has a system of pipes
filled with cold water running around
the inside walls.
The heat generated by the body in
assimilating the food just eaten causes
the water to grow warmer The in
crease in it's temperature is carefully
noted, and a comparison OF the IN
creases due to different foods gives O.
fair measure of their relative heat
producing qualities.
No one will deny that the arrange
ments here described are most in
genious. They seem admirably
adapted to shed much light upon the
subject. But that they will fail TO
record the highest heat etfects OF
beefsteak, chops, rice, cabbage ana
other foods must be obvious TO the
most superficial observer.
To get that information me must
go to the home And we must have,
not the well-cooked roast beef and
cabbage and chops, etc., which the
government scientists are feeding the
subject, but very badly cooked food
indeed
It is a fact of common knowledge
that nothing makes man hotter
than a breakfast chop cooked until
it is as tough as leather; or steak
that can hardly be masticated; or
ham fried when he likes it boiled;
or four-minute eggs instead of the
favorite two-minute eggs; or we'll
done roast beef when he wants it
rare.
If the department Of agriculture
could sneak up and get the irate
father of the family inside a calori-
meter while in the infamed state
due to these foods-well, he would
probably burst the calorimeter The
cold water would turn to steam so
quickly that the pipes would have
to give way.
All will admit the difficulty of Sc
curing a scientific registration Of
such remarkable heat effects. But
this difficulty does not alter the fact
that only under these or similar con-
ditions can the observer get any iGea
OF the tremendous caloric possibili-
ties of certain foods
The utmost heat that a man in
comfortable calorifeter, fed on we'll
cooked food, could generate IN an
hour would be practically infnites-
imal compared with what a small,
dyspeptic man confronted with
leathery chop at the domestic board
could emit in a minute.
It may be that the department in
tends to- make farther and more il
Illuminating experiments somewhat
later If it does not, it might as well
confess that it is not trying to find
out the extreme heat production of
varic IS foods-that it's investigation,
in a word lacks scope and thorough
ness.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Weiuht of Earth.

New York.-Mother Earth weighs
seven trillion tons. Reinhart A. Wet
eel, instructor in physics at the Col
lege of the City of New York, has fin
ished series of experiments by which
he has computed the weight Of this
mundane sphere. According to instruc-
tor Wetzel the result is more nearly
accurate than has hitherto been OBJ
tafned. The apparatus used in the ex-
periments was so delicate that they
were carried on entirely after mid
night to avoid even the Earring of foot
falls in the farthest corridor.

FURS IN ENGLAND CHEAPER
Lord Strathcona Reports Great In
crease in Export From Canada
Reduces Prices.

London.-There is some prospect Of
a fall next year in the present high
price Of furs.
Presiding the other day at the an
nual meeting of the Hudsons Bay
company, Lord Strathcona said the re-
ports from Canada indicated that
there were evidences of continued in
crease in the number of fur bearing
animals, which justified the anticipa-
ton that there would be further in
crease in the present year in the fur
collection which would be available
for 1911.
Any material increase in furs would
have the effect Of reducing the enor-
mously high prices which had pre-
vailed in the fur market.

BEAUTY IN BERLIN
Valuable "PIowing Strips" Mile
Long, Are to Disappear.
"City Beautiful Plan" Being Taken Up
in German CapitaI-Emperor Is
Deeply Interested In New
roiect.

Berlin.-The garden city," or "city
beautiful PLAN" which is causing such
a wonderful transformation in the sub
urbs of London and other English cit
les, is being taken up in Germany, and
Berlin is to be extended in all direc-
tons on scale of beauty and in a
way that will give American travellers
new ideas on the subject of municipal
adOrnment. The emperor is deeply
interested in the project, it is an
nounced.
Berlin has grown up in peculiar
way The whole metropolis has been
built up solidly to it's limits to height
OF i've and six stories, and then it
stops suddenly, and open farming coun-
try begins Immediately beyond This
open land is divided, in old time Ger
man style, into what are known as
blowing strips" These are often only
30 or 60 feet wide by frequently a
mile in length. The holder of these
strips, in many cases the original peas
ant owners, Or their descendants, are
usually very stubborn, and will not
consent to their holdings being cut
into streets and reapportioned. This
has seriously hindered the growth Of
Berlin beyond it's original boundaries.
Some Of the strips are valued at a
million marks. This has been the
greatest problem in the way and has
required unusual skill in laying out
suburbs.
The main radiating and circumferen-
tial traffic streets are to be carried
out scientifically, While intermediate
residential streets are to be made
most agreeable places to live in. There
will be intermittent use of trees, or
short rows of trees, or small trees,
shaped open spaces at a street corner,
all of which break the line of a street
and give every street it's own individ-
uality. This type Of planning per-
mits the streets to rise and fall with
the natural grades in the suburbs. No
street is to continue in an absolutely
straight line, as in America, nor do
cross streets intersect opposite to
each other. The streets are to be of
different widths, and even the same
street will vary as to width. Some
houses will set back, others will pro
ject. This will give a most pictur-
esque and old-time air to the neigh
borhood
More than $4,000 has been spent
in plaus, and the best architects and
landscape gardeners in Germany have
contributed their ideas. The New
York playground plan is to be tried
A suburb beautiful is being laid out
near Dresden, another near Nurem-
burg, and still another on the out
skirts of Munich. The Swiss are try
ing the plan just on the borders of
Berne. A garden city" is growing up
close to Dourges, in France The
same general principles are being fol-
lowed in all these, the idea being to
create within easy distance Of the
large city an independent community
on copartnership lines, with all the
features of a complete town. Facto-
ries are encouraged, but they are per-
mitted to locate only on the side
where the prevailing " inds will carry
their smoke away from the town
Dusseldorf and Antwerp are con-
sidering the scheme.

Injunction Stops Work on University.
Alleged violation OF the state law
which prohibits workmen employed in
the construction Of any public building
from working more than eight hours a
day caused the issuance of a tenn
pOTary injunction against the continu-
ance Of the work upon the addition to
the engineering building at the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. The order is made
by Court Commissioner Rufus B.
Smith, and the defendants are ordered
to appear next Monday before Circuit
Judge E. Ray Stevens and show cause
why the injunction should not be
made Permanent.
= The litigation was started by E. S.
WaldsChaky, president of the Madison
Federated Trades council, and is the
result of an alleged discovery that T.
G. Mccarthy the contractor for the
addition, is working some of his men
ten hours a day The defendants in
the action are the board Of regents Of
the university, w. d. Hoard, as presi-
dent Of the board; Secretary of State
James A. Frear, State Treasurer A. H.
Dahl and Contractor T. G. Mccarthy.
The temporary injunctional order not
only orders that construction work be
stopped, but President Hoard and Sec
rotary Frear are restrained from
auditing and State Treasurer Dahl
from paying anything to Mccarthy on
his contract

y Chinese Come to University.

Many Chinese Come to University.
The enrolment of Chinese stu-
dents at the University of Wisconsin
has been materially increased by
the recent. arrival of ten students
direct from the orient. There are
now some thirty men from that
country over sea who are pursuing
courses in the Badger institution,
many of them being in the engineer
ing college
The newcomers, including some of
the most intelligent young men in
China, come to America as the result
of the boxer indemnity, and have as
their mission the requirement of mod
ern methods for introduction into the
progress of their own country
The recent arrivals are members of
a group of 400 students who are edu-
Gated by the United States every year.
The fund from which the expenses of
the young men are paid is the indem-
nifty due the United States as result
Of the boxer rebellion. The govern
ment at Washington set aside the in
demnity fund for the education OF Chi
nese students in American universe
ties.
Every year competitive tests, sim
liar to the Rhodes Oxford examina-
lions, are held, and thousands OF
young men compete The tests are so
severe that only a very capable stu
dent ever reaches the United States.
The students come from all ranks the
majority from the middle classes and
the lesser nobility, although some of
es are able to get in by enduring
privations which would battle any ex-
cept the most ambitious.
In the American universities the
young Chinese take all sorts of
courses. Perhaps the majority take
the engineering work, but an almost
equal number are entered in the
schools of economics and the social
sciences.
Those students who have been at
Wisconsin during the last few years
are very keen over the progress which
is reported from their fatherland.
They find that great and significant
changes are taking place. Most of all,
perhaps, is the way the national spirit
OF China is growing-China for the
Chinese. China as a strong nation is
the new hope and effort of the young
men, although only the higher classes
SO far have awakened to this spirit.

Change Date Of Pure DRUG Show.


Because of a conflict in dates be-
tween the Wisconsin pure drug show
and a number of state pharmaceutical
conventions at which the leading
chemical houses. and drug manufac-
turing concerns of the United States
exhibit, and the inability of these to
participate in the big show in the
Auditorium next month, the dates for
the Milwaukee enterprise have been
changed in accordance with the re
quest made by national exhibit S,
and the event will be held during the
week of November 20 instead of that
of October "a, as originally planned.
The change was made after submit
ting the postponement to the exhibit
ors already contracted with, and it is
said that the change will result in a
large increase in a number of educa-
tional exhibits conducted by the manu-
facturers Of perfumes, toilet articles
and anti-toXin preparations, chemicals
and proprietary preparations. Another
reason for the change was the inabil-
ity of DR.. Harvey w. Wylie, the pure
drug and pure food crusader of the
bureau Of chemistry of the department
Of agriculture in Washington.
