-'SS' tdIiSu Ooy 0tuuCutSs
Over one hundred boy students Of
the Mankato Commercial college
were entertained at the Y. M. C. A.

nasium work called fore-work was
performed by the senior class for
the benefit of the students. Imme-
diately after the class work, Mr.
Deerhake gave an illustrated talk on
the Panama canal, and also showed
slides of the activities of the Y. M.
c. A. association in the past year.
The pool tables and bowling alley

A very pleasant evening was en-.
joyed by all, and it is the intention
of the management of the associa-
ton to give a number of other func-
tons of this kind during the COM
ing social season.

The Milk In the cocoanut.

Probably everybody has wondered
at times what kind OF stuff the. ''milk"
OF the cocoanut Is. One indncement
generally held out by the dealer to the
prospective purchaser Is that the nuts
are "all milky" Recent analyses, how-
ever, have dlsslpated the delusion that
the fluid has anything in common with
real milk, 1t contains only per cent
Of solids, consisting chiefly Of sugars,
2.S per cent, the balance being made
up of mineral matter and tartaric acid.
More than half of the sugar present is
mannitol, the sweet principle Of man
ma, which Is sometimes found also In
wine as a product of normal grape
sugar. The question has been dis
cussed as to whether it would be prof
table to extract the cocoanut water
for the sake Of It's cane sugar, but MS
this amounts TO only one-tenth per
cent the process would not be com
mcrcially successful in spite Of the
water being n waste product Even
If the water contained ! per cent Of
ugar as some specimens appear to
nave shown the recovery Of this
omount would be Improbable. The
iulcc Of the sugar cane yields nearly
70 per cent Of sugar New York
