SOME DIRTY MILK
Iuspcctor Finds Several Samples Not
Tn to standard.

The last report from the Vermont state
laboratory on specimens of milk COL
lectcd by the milk inspector does not
show great many which are dirty or
below standard, but there are still some
dealers who will have to make an effort
TO reach the requirements laid down as
standard by the board. Milk to conform
to the requirements of the board should
have total solids of 1l.75 per cent, with
solids not fat of SIS per cent and fat
of 3e5 per cent. They should also be
physically clean.
In describing the physical condition of
standard milk the following adjectives
are used Normal, applying to milk of
excellent odor ana taste and free from
all traces of sediment; passablc, apply
ing to milk of good quality, the taste and
odor of which are not quite so perfect
md which may have slight traces of
cxtraueous matter; barely passablc, APP
plying to the very lowest passablc
quality, inferior in physical condition 10
the above but not contaminated sufficient
" to he classed as Illegal.
In describing milk condemned on ac-
count of it's physical condition. the fol-
lowing adjectves are used: Dirty, apply
ing to milk which on account of care
less handling has n bad odor or con-
tains a decided sediment. or both; vCry
dirty. applying to similar but worse
conditions; extremely dirty, applying to
occasional cases of gross imperfect.on'
such as very bad odor, n very great
amount of dirty sediment straws, hairs
etc. While there were not any of the
worst cases found in the latest test. there

SOME EARLY SEA ANIMALS
Life Began In Ocean Many Million
Years Ago.

The sea teens with plants and animals.
and It has been estimated that the
amount OF life in the sea exceeds that
of the land square mile for square mile.
Animal life Is found nearly everywhere.
even at the greatest depth; but 1t flour
ishes best at or near the shore. On the
other hand, plant life seems to be absent
over the bottoms of the ocean basins hut
plentiful at the surface. whore the sun
light plays an important part In it's
growth
1t is believed that the original forms
of life began in the ocean many million
years ago. and at no time since has life
there ceased Many of the earliest forms
are now extinct; others have gradually
increased in number and variety from
their beginning to the present time. How
long ago life began no one has definnite-
ly determined; but It Is known to have
been many million years ago. for the
remains of extinct animals and plants
are found in the oldest sedimentary rocks
According to biologists, the oceanic wa
tiers have made many incursions upon
the continents and at times have nearly
submerged them. Long ago, even In a
geologic sense. before the birth Of the
Appalachian or Rocky mountains tho
sea made frequent visits to the interior
OF our continent and left after each re-
treat, sandy, muddy. or limy deposit
mixed with shells and other organic re-
mains, which later became solidified into
rock. Were not the organic remains still
found in the deposits, It would be diff
| cult to believe that the ancestors OF
many present-day sea animals once liv-
ed along the beaches OF an ancient in
land sea.

PERILS OF LOOKING ON.
Statistics Show Innocent Dystnndcr
Takes His Life in His Hands.

statistics that have been carefully pre-
pared show that it Is more perilous to
be an innocent bystander than It Is to
engage actively In whatever may be GO
ing on at the time. The scrapper either
licks his opponent or is himself beaten
UP, and that Is all there is to it, He
then goes on about his business before
the arrival Of the police. If any shots
are fired. however, the bystander Is
sure to stop the bullets, and it is for him
that the ambulance H. called.
The bystander Is u man who refuses to
take any part in politics and the next
thing he knows his taxes are piled so
high that he sheds scalding tears when
the time comes to pay them. About
that time he realizes that he has been
standing still and that others have had
their hands in his pockets.
Standing around on the streets is one
of the most dangerous occupations a
man can follow. 1t may not appear so
at first glance. but It is true. The po-
lice look upon the bystander with grave
suspicion. If brick falls from the top
OF a high building, the bystander is al
ways there to prevent it from doing
damage TO the sidewalk.
1t seems strange that so many persons
follow this occupation. yet innocent by

each year. Wherever blasting is to be
done with dynamite or giant powder,
the bystanders are there in large num-
bers. Wherever dangerous building Is

THE DEAR OLD JELLYFlSH.
He's So ARectionntc md Clinging when
gle Finds You in the Surf,

The iellyfish evidently believes in pre-

entirely devoid of brains, for it never gets
out of your way. Jelly1ish will not get
out of the way OF freight train even
although 8. p must admit that this 10 n
flight of fancy. for he never did hear of n
freight train going in bathing. But to
tell the truth, s. j. did not mean to in
sinuate this at all; he merely saw what
a striking figure of speech It would be to
say that "a jellyfish would not get out
of the way Of a freight train even" 1t
Is good when you come to think OF it. S.
+. forgets what kind OF figure it is-may-
be a hyperbole. or facsimile or an an
apest. 1t makes no difference at any
rate: the jellyflsh would not get out OF

When you are lolling in the deep, and
the waves are sloshing around your ears,
and the sun is shining, and everything
seems fine, you think that it would indeed
be a boon to live on the coast forever
But about that time jellyfish winds

After few hours the pain is less, and
you begin to wonder where your bathing
