WRITING ON A SOFT PILLOW
Found Possible to Write LegIbly and
With Comfort on Train Flying
at Top Speed.

Everyone who has had occasion to
write while riding in a railway train
will be interested in the fact that the
disagreeable effects of the jarring Of
the carriage are greatly mitigated by
writing on pillow. The pillow may
be either held on the lap or placed on
table. The pad of paper, and the
arm which guides the pen or pencil
should both rest on the pillow.
In this manner 1t will be found pos
sible to write legibly and with comfort
In train flying at full speed.
The explanation depends upon the
fact that the pillow tends to eQualize
the motion Of the fast moving car
riage the pen is driven in every direc-
tion except the desired one, because
the constant 1arring does not produce
the same motions simultaneously In
the table. or the knee, or hand and the
pen.
But the pillow, through its great pill
ability and moderate degree of elastic
ity, not only deadens the shocks com.
municated from the carriage, but
brings the inevitable motions Of the
paper and the hand holding the pen In.

Why Thunder sours Milk,

It is universally known that milk
turns sour after thunder storm. This
has been attributed to the large quan.
tity Of ozone which is liberated by the
electricity in the air. The experiments
Of Professor Trillat in Paris do not
confirm that theory. He has estab-
lished that atmospheric depressions
cause putrefying gases-normal qui.
escent-to rise to the surface of Ger.
tain substances, and In support of his
theory points out that odors of all
sorts are more permeating after
storms. These atmospheric depres.
sions accelerate the decomposition OF
gases and tend to liberate them.
Hence Tactic ferment is produced.
Professor Trillat has made many ex.
periments with diverse substances un.
der varying pressures and has OBJ
served that when the barometer II

DEER FOR BRITISH COLUMBIA
Are to Be Brought From English
Estate and Turned Loose In
the Rockies.

After completing a hunting tour
which occupied the greater part OF
two years and which has been con-
Quoted in the wilds of three contin-
ents, C. e. Lucas, an English hunter
and naturalist who Is visiting Van
couver, will make arrangements be-
fore his departure with the British
Columbia government and game
wardens of the province for the accom-
modation Of several hundred red deer
which will be brought from his
fathers estate at Warnham. Surrey,
England, early in September next
year.
These animals have been given to
the government Of the province BY
G. H. Lucas, Sr., the intention being
to turn them loose in the wilds Of the
Rockies and allow them to increase
until their numbers warrant the pass
ing of game ordinance allowing them
to be shot in limited numbers.
Mr.. Lucas said that 1t was originally
intended to send the deer out this
year, but unhappily the outbreak Of
foot and mouth disease among Eng
lish cattle had prevented the exporta-
ton Of any live stock from the old coun-
try. Consequently the animals were
retained. About fifteen years ago his
father had made similar gift to the
