Japanese in the Philippines.

For some months it has been known
that a powerful Japanese syndicate,
says the Kobe Chronicle, has been
casting longing eyes on several large
sugar estates in the Philippines. and
particularly on the one owned by the
Dominican order of friars in the fruit
full province of Laguna; and for the
last few weeks 1t has been known to
many that negotiations concerning the
latter were drawing to a close, and
that there was every probability CT the
property Of the Dominican order Of
friars going over to Japanese mer-
chants. Two days ago (says the Ma
Mia correspondent of the North China
Daily News under date of February
12) we learned that the sale had been
completed. the transfer taking place
at midnight on February 7. when the
personal representative of the Japa-
nese syndicate, Mr.. X. Hada, took
charge Of the estate. On the follow
ing morning the heads of the various
departments were notified that their
services were no longer required, and
their places we're Immediately taken
by Japanese who were all in readiness

Various methods of clarifying milk,
such as straining. fltering, sedimenta-
ton, and the use Of centrifugal ma
chimes, have been employed both in
this country and in Europe. Some of
these have been fairly successful in
removing both dirt and bacteria, but
none has proved entirely satisfactory.
One important objection to such meth
DDS of handling milk, especially In the
small dairy. is that they require on.
siderable time, and some of them ad.
ditional machinery. and thus add to
the cost Of production. 1t is much
more important. however, to go far

lily in the warm milk, cannot be re-
moved. and thus communicates the
milk with both filth and the bacteria
of the dirt. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to secure some means whereby the
dirt can be originally excluded.
1t has been found that if the stables
are well cleaned and ventilated and
exposed to sunlight, II the cows are
kept well brushed and cleaned; if, just
before milking, the parts of the COW
Immediately above and around the pail
are washed or wiped with a damp
cloth, and II the mixer is clean, wears
| clean clothes, and uses sterile uten-
sils, the quantities of dirt and bacteria
which get into the milk are greatly
reduced.
A number of devices for excluding
the dirt have been tried in this coun-
try and in Europe. One of the sim
plest and most practical of these is a
milking pail with a cover which re-
duces the area of the surface exposed
during the milking. In order to test
the efficiency Of such a pail for keep
ing out dirt that would fall into an
open pail, experiments were carried
on at the Connecticut experiment sta
ton which resulted in the following:
The amount or dirt in the milk from
the covered pail was only 81 per cent
of that in the open pail. By the use Of
the covered pail an average of 20 per
cent of the total number of bacteria
and Al per cent of the acid-producing
bacteria were excluded from the fresh
milk.

Gas Works In japan.

For a nation accustomed to lamps
and candles for centuries, the fact that
nearly 100000 people in Japan now
use gas for lighting purposes, Is
worthy of notice. Despite the charges
for gas, higher than in Europe or
America, the per capita consumption
continues on the increase. In time q
more developed condition of the in
dustry will permit Of a lower rate
through the production and sale Of
dyes, coal tar and other by-products.
Superstition and ignorance were the
causes of numerous accidents at first.
but the results have not been so uni
formly fatal as in many foreign coun-
tries. This is principally due to the
fact that the rooms Of Japanese houses
are not so nearly alright as the
houses of this country. The amount of
capital now invested in gas works in
Japan amounts to about $26, 900,
with about $50 miles Of piping. The
concerns engaged in the enterprise

drainage. as they last indefinitely and

Use good tile.
Use an engineers level in putting in

Use 4-inch tile or larger for ordinary

Have the size of your mains calcu-

Before you cover your tile test the

Time by Wireless.

Chronometers in the Offices of the
port captains at Cristobal and Balboa,
in the Canal Zone, are corrected every

key, which flashes the time signal in
simultaneously to the Darien station;
thence 1t Is transmitted by telegraph
wire to the offices of the port captains
and to the headquarters Of the troops
on the Canal Zone at Ancon. At Da-
rien the aerial transmission is record
ed by a current too slight to permit
of ordinary electric relaying; there
fore the receiving operator at that sta
ton transmits the signals through an
ordinary telegraph key as he hears
them through his receiver from the
antennae-an arrangement that causes
an average error of about twotenths
of a second. Eventually the Darien
station will have a transmitting clock
that will send tho signals exactly as
they come from Key West. The knowl-
edge of exact time is of the greatest
importance to the navigating officers
of ships that visit canal ports. In
making observations to determine
longitude at sea, an ~inaccuracy of q
second in time means an error OF a
quarter Of a nautical mile in position.
The service received at the Darien
station Is a part of that furnished to

The hills soon dry out below the seed

the root system of the plants when
they come up.

PRINCE WAS HIS CHAUFFEUR
German Soldier Describes Queer tx.

the Front.

The following excerpt from the let.
ter Of a field artilleryman from q
suburb of Cologne, telling his wife of
his ride with the crown prince on the

the German press:
II started for H. at noon today.
There was not a wagon in sight. I
was very tired from loading casks and
dragging boxes around, and II l had
not had two letters for H. from COM
rades and thus was obliged to go there.
l should have turned back.
Then an auto hove in sight! I
planted myself in the middle of the
road, spread out my arms, and the
machine stopped. On the right side of
the forward seat sat the chauffeur and
on his left a major. A man covered
with galloons from top to bottom
opened the door, and l took a seat
inside.
1.-THE chauffeur said: Well, com.
rade. where do you want to go?' /
said: AS far as H. The chauffeur
laughed and said, All right Then he
looked around again and smiled at me
once more. He apparently was glad
that I was pleased. The ride was a
fast one. l pulled my cap down over
my ears, and the chauffeur looked
around again and laughed. l thought,
Does he know me? But how does he
dare smile at me so while a major ia
seated beside him? He certainly is
nervy.'
"As I catch a glimpse of H. l half
turn around and say: May l ask to
be let out?' Then noticed for the
first time that the nan who sits bach
Of me is an imperial chauffeur. Then
he said to the driver: The gentleman
would like to get OUT and whispered
to me at the same time that the mar
ahead who is guiding the auto and who
has smiled at me SO often is a high
superior officer.
Thunder and lightning!' l said tc
myself. Jump out quickly and stand
at attention, not before the major, but
before the chauffeur who then said
to me: Well, comrade, dost thou
know who has carried thee? I said
No I am the Crown Prince He
laughed again, nodded, put his hand
to his cap. and the auto was gone"
