SLEEPING IN THE OPEN AIR
Useful Book With Full Directions
Given Away by Fhilanthropic
Association.

Direction for Living and Sleeping
in the Open Air." is the title of a
pamphlet being sent out by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis to its local
representatives in all parts of the
United States. The pamphlet is
meant to be a handbook of informa-
ton for anybody who desires TO sleep
olt of doors in his own home II en-
phasizes the fact that outdoor sleep
ing is as desirable for the well as for
sick. The booklet will be sent free
CT charge to any one applying for it at
the headquarters of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis in New York. or
to the secretary of any locaror state
antituberculosis association.
Some of the subjects of which the
pomphlet treats are, how to take the
oren-air treatment in a tenement
house; how to build a small shack or
cabin on a fat roof In the city; how
to make one comfortable while sleep
ing outdoors either in hot or cold
weather; how to arrange porch on a
country house; and how TO build a
cheap porch; the construction of tents
and tent houses; tie kinds OF beds
and bedding to use in outdoor sleep
irg, and various other topics. The
book is we'll illustrated and attrac-

CAUSE OF TEST VARIATIONS
Errors Are often Made, Especially in

Much Dissatisfaction.

but variations constantly occur that
are due to other causes. The most
common causes of these variations, as
pointed ont in circular by Prof. c.
II. Eckles of the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment station, Columbia, Mo-.
are as follows:
l. Variations in the speed of the
separator.
3 Variation in temperature of milk
separated
g. Rate the MIX flows into the ma
chine.
4. Amount of water or skim milk
used in flushing out the bowl.
s. Change in the richness of the
milk separated.
g. Adjustment of the cream screw.
Change in the speed of the separa-
tor is the most common cause OF yari-
alton The greater the speed of the
separator. the smaller the amount or
cream and the higher the per cent. OF
fat.
Again, the temperature of the milk
separated varies on the farm from day
to day If cream tests 30 per cent.
when the milk is separated at so de-
grees. ii may test as high as 40 per
cent. when separated at 20 degrees.
Under average conditions On the farm,
however, the variation in fat due to
change of temperature will not amount
to more than three to four per cent.
A third cause of variation is found
IN the rate at which the milk flows
| into the machine. If less than the
regular quantity flows into the bowl.
| the tendency is to increase the per
cent. of fat in the cream.
The richness of the MIL separated
affects the richness but not the guam
tity of cream. The richness OF a
cows milk depends on inheritance and
cannot be changed permanently by
| feed.
| Small variations are likely to occur
from the other causes suggested by
the use of an ordinary Babcock testing
machine and by measuring the sample
of cream into the test bottle with the
same pipette as Is used for measuring
| milk. any farmer can make test oil

COLOR OF SEA DUE TO SALT
Some Parts Are More Salty Than 9th

the BIuer

In its deepest parts the sea is in.
tensely blue. but where it is shallow
it is a bright green color. This pre-
walls until soundings cease to be
struck. Some people ascribe the blue
to the reflection of the sky. and
say that IL the green water which Is
found nearer land were piled up in a
basin as deep as that which holds the
blue, 1t would be the same color But
the true cause of the difference be-
tween the two is the quantity of salt
which the water contains. Some parts
of the sea are much more salty than
others, and 1t is these which are the
bluer
That the sea water is denser I'm o.
part than another is the result

or inflow Of fresh water from rivers.
etc. 1t is estimated that eight feet of
water are annually withdrawn from
the Red sea by evaporation, and II is
not surprising that it is saltier than
| the Baltic, where the evaporation Is
very small, and where there is an in
fux of water from various streams
fed by heavy annual rainfalls.
But why is the ocean salt at all?
The streams which feed 1t bring

IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
influence of Christian Teachings
Shown in the Changed Condi-
tions Found There.

The public conscience is now be-
lie morality Last week | was in
vited to take part in a meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this in mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members OF the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting. and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice Suitable adj
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
educat ton inspectors for the provinces
of Kiargsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin
solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two eornet solos, and a Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in sc
orderly and orthodox a fashion that il
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years. even ten years. ago such a
meeting would not have been within
he realm of possibility. Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS of impressine
upon their countrymen."

While milk fever Is no longer a fatal

should be prevented rather than cured.
