WHY FIREARMS MAKE DOUBLE
 REPORT.

paper by M. Agnus, in the Comp tes reIius, describes and discusses the phenomenon, frequently noted dur ing the present European war, of a double report from a gun.
 The explanation depends upon the fact that, in these cases. the velocity of the projectile is considerably greater than that of the explosion wave starting from the muzzle at the same time with the projectile. If the observer is near the trajectory of the projectile, his first aural impression is due to the disturbance arising from the passage of the latter througb the air, while the second is due to the arrival of the explosion wave. In the case of the 75 nm. shrapnel shell, the writer calculates the time intervals between the reports, al various distances in front of the can non, as follows: One hundred meters I second; 800 meters, , seconds 1000 meters, 8 seconds; 220O meters 12 seconds.

MILK DRINKS MADE BY BACTERIA,

One of the first of the fermented milks known to European was the kefr made from the milk of sheep, goats, or COWS in the Caucasus noun tains and neighboring regions. Kefr differs from most of the fermented milks of the Mediterranean countries in that it is made from a dried prepar- ation and contains considerable quan- titles of alcohol and gas.
 An expert of the bureau of aninal industry says that it is probable that kefr is produced under different cir cumstances by different organisms Any combination of bacteria, or of bacteria and yeasts that will pro- duce a tactic acid and a milk alec holic fermentation in milk will make kefr, although to secure the most de- sirable flavor certain organisms may be essential. Kefir grains, which start the proper fermentation, can. not ordinarily be obtained in this country, but a good imitation of kefr can be made by carrying on simul- taneously in sealed bottles an alec holic and tactic fermentation.
 Koumiss, in it's original sense, was fermented beverage prepared from mares milk. Unlike kefr, there is no dried "ferment," seeds" or grains" with which the fermenta- tion of the mares milk is started Ma tive koumiss makers lay great stress on the quality of the milk, the breed of the mares, and the condition Of the pastures; but it is probable that their troubles ascribed to varialiors in these conditions are more likely attributed to imperfectly controlled bacteriologic factors. According to Rogers, the koumiss which is offer made and offered for sale in this coun- try is usually made from cows milk, and therefore. more correctly, in kefir. Keir and koumiss are limpid. mild ly acid, and distinctly alcoholic; yog- hurt, leben and matzoon are thick curdled milks, decidedly acid, with very little or no alcohol.

TERRIFIC FORGE DEVELOPED BY

A factory in Grenoble. France. util- izes the water of reservoir situated in the mountains at a height of 200 yards. The water reaches the factory through a vertical tube of the same length. with a diameter considerably less than an inch. the jet being used to move turbine. Experiments have showed that the strongest men cannot cut the jet with the best tempere l sword and in some instances the blade has been broken into fragments WIlh- out defiecting a drop of the water, and with as much violence as a pane of glass may be shattered by a blow from an iron bar. It has been calcu- lated that a jet of water a small frac- tion of an inch in thickness. could not be cut by a rife bullet.
 The engineers of some big water power projects of the far West, ac- cording to scientific writer. are will ing to wager that a 200-pound man, swinging four-pound axe with al his might. cannot make a dent ia the water as it emerges from the noz- gle at the power house.

So great is tie ge- locity of the water emerging frcGl the nozzle in these modern power plants that an axe. no matter how keen it's edge, is whirled from the hands of the axeman as soon as it touches the water.

ROOSEVELT
 AND VIM. TAFT
(Post-Intelligencerl

What shall We do with our ex-
 presidents?" once a problem, occas-
 ions no deep concern today. Theodore
 Roosevelt and William Howard Taft
 are giving not the slightest excuse for even passing solicitude on that score,
 Each is abundantly prepared to take care of himself and. single-handedly. \ further work out useful and an hon.
 orable destiny.
 Temperamentally in antithesis-the
 one intense. virile, aggressive, i'm
 patient of national ills and strenuous
 for the right; the other philosophically
 calm and judicially self-restrained-
 they are fine. robust Americans, ever lastingly devoted, according to their lights, to the public veal, and giving the best that is in them to the great ness and the glory of the republic
 The one is a leader; the other g counselor.
 Ex-presidents of the past have oc- cupied positions of reserved alooiness in national life-out Of touch and far removed from the masses and eelip sed in large degree in dignihed emin- ence. Not so these two ex-presidents. Their usefulness did not end with their retirement from the White House. On the contrary, it has stead fly increased Roosevelt has continu- ed to lead and mold public opinion, and Taft to give good counsel and contribute to the maintenance of the national equilibrium.
 In rousing the country to it's perils and stirring it's patriotism, Theodore Roosevelt has rendered and is still rendering to the nation a service iIn- possible to compute in words of eulogy. Between these two living ex-presi- deuts-the Theodore and "Will' of other days-a breach was made Their paths diverged. and leG ;uem far afeld But they are travelling the same road today. A crisis in the country's affairs. which only reunir- ed Republican party can meet and deal with, gives them joint duty to perform and brings them together in a great common cause. Differences antedating 1912 are effected ill the urgent necessities wrought b. gov ernmental weakness and vacillation and mismanagement since 1912
 As to the future of these two great Americans, that may safely be allow ed to take care Of itself. In any event it is certainly secure. The Eastern press says that the administration will. in no contingency. in case of war, permit Col Roosevelt or Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood to have any part in it. Politics prescribe them? Perish the thought! Once a declaration of war. even a petty regime could not tolerate or survive so petty a spirit. Hence such a report is not to be believed. As United States senator, whatever happens as to Mexico, Roosevelt would find occupation worthy of his ability and qualities of leadership, and the Empire state seems decidedly in a humor to give him OGorman's seat. With Charles E. Hughes in the White House, Elihu Root secretary O. state, Roosevelt in the senate. Taft on the supreme bench, Leonard Wood secretary of war, and John W.
