the use of gelatin is for the purpose Of selling more air at ice cresrn prices. Ice cream is sold by the measure and if you can work in enough air so as to convert one gal lon of ice cream into two gallons there is big profit and that is one of the reasons for using gelatin.
 The question Of the preparation of satisfactory ice cream, according to the Journal of the American Medical association, involves tho con- sideration oN numerous factors, in- cludint5 not only the type of milk or cream which forms the basis, but also the use of thickeners and the various methods of preparation. The possible entrance of numerous germs must ba considered.

When Pea Tsnkard Waa Used.

It Is true no doubt that among the
 early Anglo-Saxons-of the same stock as the Germans-there was a great
 deal of hard drinking end good deal of drunkenness although after the incursions of the Normans the habits of the country in this respect were greatly improved. Very quaint and very curious are some of the reg. vlations which were adopteG for the purpose of compelling thirsty souls tc practice moderation. At the instance
 1t is said, of St. Dunstan, archbishop of Canterbury, King Edgar, for the pur- pose of regulating the quantity msc might drink, ordained that pegs o, pins should be inserted in the largS drinking vessels then in use The first person who drank emptied the tank ard to the first peg from the top. tho second to the second peg, and SO on. Anyone who went beyond one pin wa liable to a penalty.

Friendly Fish.

4 curious instance of the familiarity If fishes with human beings has been observed in Portland, Ore., at the Uni' ted States barge office. The official boat is kept at the end of the wharf Some time ago one of the boatmen began to notice fish about eight inches long, and resembling a carp that seemed to wish to scrape acquain' tance. The fish would come up to tla top of the water whenever the man ar peared, and did not seem to be at all afraid. After a time all the men got to know the fish; and began to take friends to see him. At first he might not be !n sight. but he would very soon appear and frisk around near tho surfAce. Once or twice Ee has come 60 close as to rub his nose against the boatnan's hand, and the Gen arc waiting further developments

Magnesia In Sea Shells.


 Chemical analysis of stardshes, sea urchins and ersnoids, collected from all parts of the world, show that the skeletons of these animals contain much magnesia. The amount present $ found to vary with tho temperature of the water in which the creatures lived. The percentage of magnesia Is highest in those specimens that lived In tropical waters and lowest in forms trom the icy seas af Greenland and the Antarctic, with a regular grada- ton between which even shows the local effect of cold ocean currents upon lie at the sea bottom. The in. vestigations suggest that the skeie' tons of these animals have the compo- sition of the manganese limestone, or dolomite, and it Is possible that they furnish clues not only as to the climatic conditions under which limestones are now formed, but also as to the temperatures of the oceans in different regions of the earth where. during different periods of geologic history. great deposits of magnesium limestone were formed

 ROG!RESS ROSPERITY
DRUNKEN AUTO DRIVERS.

Automobile accidents due to drunken men at the wheel are again with us. Not only in "wet" states and wet" counties, but in perfectly dry munities-through which folks from the outside tour with bottles Of juice" under a back seat-have been mortified.
 Men who are not under the influ- ence of drink sometimes are reckless and drive across railroad tracks without hesitating and without look ing to the, right or left. But these are in the minority. Sane auto drivers never do this.
 But when a man is filled with demon rum he throws caution to the winds. He doesn't know the differ once between railroad track and a bunch of bushes.
 Is it any wonder there are dis tressing accidents? A drunken auto mobile driver is not only menace tc himself, but to everyone in his ma. chine, and to those travelling on such passenger trains as may meet" him
 Drunken drivers are also peril or roads and streets. They create ac' cidents right along. How to stol thevr before the inevitable occurs ls a problem that demands solving.

SAFE ICE CREAM.

With the coming of summer there is, naturally, largely increased con- sumption of iced products. Conspicu- ous among these is that ever delight full commodity, ice cream. unfortun- ately, however, there are as rany formulas for the preparation Of tnls delicious highly edible substance as there are manufacturers who make it. A note in the current issue of the hulletin of the North Dakota agrl- cultural experiment station calls at- tention to a few of the modificatlons cxtant in that state:
 Ice creams in this state are sup posed to contain fl per cent. of put ter-fat. This corresponds with the standars in a majority of other states There are those, however, who iuf- nish a product containing from te 10 per cent. of butter-fat, using thicker. gelatin, gum, rennet, etc. 1ol tha purpose of giving the cream tht appearance of richness. This IS
 
 fraud and works hardship on tn' nan who is endeavoring to produce good article. On the other mana there are those who do not take sur f;cient interest to know what they ar' doing or are not posted as to the "a content which they use and so arc giving to public ice cream contain in. from IS to 2 per cent. of butter fat. Such ice cream is too rlch an' is not as satisfactory as that contain ing approximately IA per cent.
 If fruit is used, then the per ceh' of butter-fat is slightly reduced 10 ] per cent.
 Pure ice cream should contain n gelatin. but if gelatin is used the1 the product must be labled, sold 0 dispensed as gelatin ice cream.

Why Glass Cracks,

You have learned by experien0a that cold water will crack a hot glass, or hot water cold glass. But did you know that . thick glass will crack much more readily under such treat ment than q thin glass? When hot water strikes cold glass. for example. the heat of the water is quickly com' municated to the glass next it. caus Ing the glass to expand. If the glasa Is thin, tho heat is quickly communi- eated to both sides of the glass SO That they expand together without damage. But if the glass Is thick tho heat is slow in getting through and the sido next the hot water expands SO much more rapidly than the other side that the glass is cracked.~.The Amart ean Boy.

KEEPING EIRT ROADS IN ORDER

Macaiam, concrete and other strongly surfaced highways for the present are primarily for the main arteries of travel. The thousands Of side roads, which are little, travelled, will have to get along without ex- pensive pavements for many years.
 But even these need not De in bad shape, or "impassable," as some of them, are in rainy weather.
 The modern cheap road machine or grader, when used in the spring, is great thing for roads and the tempers of those who have to use them. i
 More than this, the road drag can he used after each rain; the results are satisfactory wherever used. Thls of course, applies to earth or gfave' roads. A drag keeps them in fine shape throughout the year.
