cHINA's FIRST LOCOMOTIVE.
Willy Old Ii Hung chans's Rebuke That
Was Linked With Wink.

Was Linked With Wink.
There is q curious story concerning
the first locomotive ever seen in China.
Ii Hung Chang was given permission
to construct a railway from the sea to
his mines upon the condition that
steam power should not be used, and
for several months the cars were haul
ed by mules.
Then Mr.. Kinder and some Of the
foreign machinists secretly construct
ed a locomotive out Of such material
as they could find in China. 1t was
rude affair. and it was never able to
make more than five or six miles an
hour, but it was great advantage over
the mule teams, for it could haul seven
or eight cars Of coal at that speed,
where it took four mules to haul one.
But when the mandarins at Pekin
learned that foreign devils were using
a fire eating monster on the railway
they Immediately made tremendous
fuss about it and called Ii Hung
Chang to account for violating his con-
cession.
The old gentleman took it very cool
ly and pretended not to know anything
about it, but he afterward restored
himself in favor by issuing an order
rebuking Mr.. Kinder and his associates
for their presumption and forbidding
them to introduce any more new fan
gled foreign notions into China. Short
ly after he secretly patted them on the
back and raised their pay.
The excitement quieted down and
was soon forgotten. Then Mr.. Kinder
got up steam in his clumsy old engine
again and was allowed to run it with
out interference. Later couple of
regularly made locomotives were I'M
ported from Europe and have since
been hauling the coal trains on that
road.

HOW MILK IS P|AsTEURIzED
M. U. Professor Tells How Dan
ger From Impure Milk May
Be Lessened.

The pasteurization Of milk
what the process is and what it
may accomplish-was discussed
recently by Doctor M. P. Raw
enel, professor Of bacteriology
and preventive medicine at the
University of Missouri.
"This process" said Doctor
Ravenel, twas introduced by
Pasteur for the purpose of cur
ing certain so-called diseases of
beer which occurred during fer
mentation. The process is now
used with many other sub
stances, but most largely in the
treatment of milk. It is a par
tial sterilization in process and
consists in keeping milk to such
a temperature and for such a
length of time as will destroy
the dangerous germs with the
least possible damage to the
milk. One hundred and forty
five degrees Fir. for thirty min
utes has been agreed upon by
most authorities.
Certain objections have been
made to the process. One is
that it is a substitute for clean
illness. Many people think that
dirty milk will keep longer if
pasteurized. This is only par
tally true. Pasteurization can
never make dirty milk clean.
Another objection is that the
heating destroys some vital
property in the milk which
makes it less digestible and inn
pairs its food value. 1t is said
that children fed on pasteurized
milk are more liable to contract
scurvy and ricketts,. It is true
that a certain number of chill
dren do show scurvy after ex-
elusive feeding on pasteurized
milk, but this is not always due
to the milk. If such a tendency
is found to exist, it can be cor
rected by giving the child a
small quantity of orange juice
daily.
"On the other hand we have
the records of the milk depots
in New York City where fol
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-09-10

three years $4,000 babies have
been fed in summer, and 49,
900 in the winter daily. The
records show that they gained
in weight and gave every evil
dence that pasteurized milk is
not inferior in food value and di-
~gestibility to raw milk. During
this period the death rate has
fallen from 1875 per thousand to
"a per thousand, a record which
places New York in the lead of
all large cities in the world in
the reduction Of infant mortal
.ity."
Doctor Ravenel said that raw
milk, where proper cleanliness
had not been observed, often
caused diseases, such a cholera
infantum, diarrhea, dysentery,
septic sore throat, typhoid fever,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, and
tuberculosis. He stated that
the danger from all these d.
seases may be absolutely avoid
ed by the pasteurization of
milk.

A Warming From Plattsburg
Camp.


1t would defeat the purpose of
the splendid movement repre-
scented by the business mems
camp at Plattsburg, if the rap
idity with which the regiment is
being licked into shape should
give the impression that the
United States could extempor-
ize a whole army with equal fa-
cility, and with the same rapid
acquisition of efficiency as is be-
ing shown by the members of
that camp.
For it must be remembered
that the majority of the men
are business men who, by vir-
tue of their high intelligence,
self-control and ability to CO.
operate with others, had al
ready, before they came to the
camp, acquired some of the
principal elements in the make
up of an efficient soldier. 1t is
these qualities of singleness of
aim, intelligence, sense of dis
cipline and willingness to sub
merge ones individuality in the
mass, coupled with a very SER
ious e%arnestness of purpose,
that have enabled these men to
fall SO quickly into the habits
and routine Of the soldiers life.
Because these special men.
who had already won out in the
battle of life, have shown such
quick proficiency in learning the
soldiers duty and imbibing the
military spirit, we must not
make the mistake of supposing
that raw recuits drawn from ev-
cry walk of life-from farm and
factory, from the store counter.
from the clerical desk and from
a dozen other v~ocations in life
could be hastily assembled and
show an equally rapid facility in
military drill, duty, and daily
routine of life.
Great Britain at the opening
of the war found herself in
pretty much the same condition
in which we stand today. Her
new armies were volunteer arm
les, as ours would have to be;
and the fact that the thorough
going soldier Kitchener has re-
fused to consider sending these
new troops for duty in the field
until they have had about nine
months of training, suggests
that, at the very least, six
months of training would be
necessary for that new army of
citizen soldiers which we should
have to e~xtemporize in case of
threatened invasion.
The Plattsburg movement,
like that represented by the stu
dents camps, is intended to
train a body Of men who, in the
event of hostiities, viii furnish
the forty thousand officers
which will be necessary to lead
the minimum army Of defense
which would insure the security
of our country. Wonderful as
their progress has been, it will
take far more than this one
month of training to render
them competent to command.
There is no short cut from the
raw recruit to the hardened sol
dier, competent to stand the
superhuman strain of modern
trench-line fighting. = Scietifc

Sir: If. as seems not probable, Germany

hitting the pulse and temper Of this
country in relation to its note to the
"Fatherland.' let me in passing call attention
70 the significant words Of The Wall Street
Journal" of recent date:
This country can accept challenge by vot-
ing billions Of credit TO 90 wherever most
needed. There is only one way for Amer
lea to accept any challenge from Germany,
and that Is with votes for billions OF credit
20 30 where il is most needed in Europe. H.
IS immateral to America at war whether she
gives a billion to Russia, who was her friend
forty years ago, or to France, her friend
more than hundred years ago, or to Great
Britain. The finance opposing Germany is
to-day unit That unit would be
enormously increased if the relations be
tween the United States and Germany were
severed"

Sir: An editorial which talks boldly n

rec from any faint Of misreprc scntatIon but
your statements I'm regard 70 pacifsts. in the

nations, backed by pubic opinion, agree to-

they advocate for the present time neither
disarmament nor dishonorab,e peace.
The trouble is that their clearer vision Of
present md future events Is not understood
by those who arc putting their faith in catch
words. To talk Of ornaments as real

war" is absurd ir the face Of the European
crisis. Va highlands navy "A protection

lion "maintaining a Standard is absurd in

The real objection &c armamcnts is their
obvious iusufficiency and the real insecurity
Of nations which trust 20 them for protcc-
ton. Such nations arc no more safe than
individuals would be if they were protected
by nothing but rcvolvcrs in their pockets.
We need far more than coast defeHces We
need d greater Observation-Disclosures Of mems

of war and realization Of its futility, a
more intelligent public sentiment against it

The education of men in these real and
practical IDEAS is the work Of paciists. Their
