DIsINFEcT BY SEA WATER
Brine Treated With Electricity VIII
Produce Strong AntIseptlo,
10 Claim.

The possibilities Of manufacturing
q strong disinfectant from sea water
was discovery made in the bacteria
logical department Of the Liverpool
university.
During a series of experiments In
the electric treatment OF milk, Freder'
lex C. Lewis, assistant lecturer in the
university, developed the idea of pro
ducing a strong antiseptic from sea
water. This, according to the Liver
pool Courier, was two years ago.
Since then all the disinfection and
cleansing of cultures and slides in the
meteorological and pathological labo
ratories at the university have been
done by an electric chemical apparatus
which insures powerful disinfectant
from salt water.
The apparatus employed on the AQui
tania is of course on far larger scale
than the one at the university. The
principle. however, is precisely the
same. There Is an electrolytic cell, 8
reversing switch. and some ordinary
insulating electric cable.
The cell stands upon rubber mat
to insulate 1t, and is raised upon a low
table, to enable the contents to be
poured out easily. 1t is filed with ses
water and an electric current is ther
turned on and solution containing
sodium hypochlorite. or available chic
rine. will be obtained.
The solution is useful as q sterilizel
Of drinking water. and on the Aquita
MIA It is added to the water in th'
swimming bath.

WILD BEASTS ON FIRING LINE
Dcnizens of the Jungle Prowl Between
British and German Armies
In East Africa.

The country through which the Brit
ish forces under command of Gen.
J. C. SHUTS are operating in their con-
quest of German East Africa is prob
ably the finest big game field In the
world.
Every description of buck and other
game" writes trooper OF the South
African horse in a letter home, "can
be seen daily ranging the fats, and al
though the bulk of them have moved
away some little distance hardly q
morning passes that at dawn we dc
not see droves of them careering be
tween the various squadrons. They
comprise chiefly wildebeest. Gland
hartebeest, gemsbok, roolbok, gyrsbok
and springbok. In addition there
abound all sorts OF wild creatures
lions. leopards, wolves, hyenas, wild
pigs. giraffes. also ostriches.

uncanny Mingled with the bowling
of the jackals we hear the laugh Of
hyenas and the deep gruntings of pigs
A horse died the other night, and al
though a sentry was not 20 yards
away, only a part Of the carcass was
left at daybreak.

/ According to early report, two Of
the aeroplanes performing advance
scout duty for our troops in Mexico
have disappeared. This did not imply
that they met destruction, for they
were later discovered with their avia

II Is true, however, that the dangers
attendant upon this new form Of mill
tary service have not been overesti
mated. In the British house of com
mons the statement was made last
week that the record Of casualties in
the aerial fighting force. so far az
tabulated. showed the loss of ACE
killed, wounded and missing.
/ Most of the fatalities occurred in
active combat, and this is attributed
to the superiority of the German ma
chimes in capacity and equipment. But
of the total more than 100 had simply

never missing. The perili
of the air are less furiously .destruc
tive than those of the battlefield, but
they have the thrill and the chill Of

PREVENT SQUIRTING OF CREAM
Acid Developed Through Process Ia
Injurious to lnfants-Keep Dirt
and Bacteria Out.


Extra precautions should now be
taken, on account Of the warm wealth
er, to keep milk and cream sweet. The
acid developed through souring is
very injurious to infants, and while
1t may not be so to older persons, it
is very distasteful to them. Bacteria
will not sour milk unless permitted to
grow in 1t, therefore every precautions
airy measure should be taken to pre-
vent them from doing so, by cooling
the milk as soon az it is produced and
keeping it cool from then until it is
delivered. Housewives and dairymen
should remember that cleanliness and
low temperature $50 degrees F.) will
prevent loss from this source.
AS dirt is filed with bacteria, both
dirt and bacteria should be kept out of
the milk by using small-top milk pals
and by thoroughly washing and airing
all dairy utensils. Another important
factor is to keep the barnyard clean,
use plenty of bedding, and brush the
cows daily, thus preventing them from
becoming dirty.

RESENT INTRUSION OF MAN
Wild Elephants Greatly Retard Work
Of Missionaries In Central
African Region.

The strongest opponents to the. adj

Methodist missionary, are the wild
elephants. They break down fences,
trample gardens, pull up trees and
even telegraph poles, for no other ap-

The boat, with three white men, in
Guiding the bishop, and crew Of FIVE

deep forest in q quiet bend of the
river. A stout plank was laid as gang

crew worked until nightfall cutting

their evening meal. The three white
men were already at dinner, when a

ONE OF BEST DIsINFEcTANTs
Whltewash Is Recommended as First
Step for Heaithfulness-Thor
ouehness Is Important.

Whitewash is one of the best disin-
fectants for damp, dark places.
The best way to apply whitewash
is, first, to have 1t perfectly free from
Jumps, and then use a spray pump.
Thoroughness is important in all
kinds of disInfecting work. 1t is of
no use to disinfect the walls of barn
unless you also disinfect the floors
and hangers.
One good point about whitewash is
that its color tells you when you have
thoroughly covered a surface.
Some of the coal-tar disinfectants
not only destroy germs but also kill
lice, fleas, parasites and, In addition,
heal cuts and wounds.
The best ways to disinfect yards,
such as after hog-cholera epidemic,
are: First rake up all the trash and
burn 1t. Then cover the yard three
inches deep with straw and burn that
II you are not able to secure straw
sprinkling the ground with lime is a
second choice. To disinfect posts and
fences, whitewash or paint them.

Dressing for the Party.

On the trolley the other day there
were two winsome damsels hanging to
straps and entertaining each other in
sparkling conversation about what
they were going to wear at some func-
ton that was soon to happen, accord.
ing to a writer In the Ohio State
Journal. They told Of their shoes,
their stockings, their lingerie, the
skirts, the bodices. the neckwear,
their hats. their gloves and every item
OF their garb and the material thereof.
and their conversation seemed almost
symphony in velvets, silks, Jewels,
that one could imagine them entering
the drawing room in pink, tulle and
lowered wolfe. the objects of the ad.
miring gaze of all the company.
We would have given a SIS bank
note If we could have caught that con-
versation on a dictagraph. By the
way, why don't the record people get
q couple Of these fascinating damsels
together and have them tell what they
are going to wear to party? 1t would
be very interesting talk, as one might
imagine, II he had seen that whole
car using their auricles In every sort
OF fashion to catch the mellihuous &C
cents of those gentle maidens telling
what they were going to wear.

jug or money. Returning the next
morning. he found the Jug. but there
was no money beneath 1t. and the jug
