Beautiful Lugano Smallest
of Italian Lakes and One
of the Most Picturesque

Lugano Is the smallest though not
the least beautiful of the Italian lakes
us matter of fact 1t Is not entirely
In Itnly, MS the Swiss frontier Is
crossed Mt Chiasso. yet, perhaps on nc
count of its Italian sounding name, II
is usually classed with Como and Mag
giore, says the Christian Science Moni-
tor. The lake is surrounded by wood
ed hills, which rise directly out Of the
clear water, and at all times OF the
year It Is beautiful.
In early spring these tree-covered
slopes take on soft purplish bloom !;
all the outlines become blurred and
,velvety as the sap rises in every
branch and twig,. and there is won
derfully peaceful impression given by
these soft outlines against serene
blue sky. All along the lake sides
are tiny villages. built on the steepest
possible slopes, the houses seeming to
stick to the hillside wherever a niche
can be followed out. There is no road
directly around the lake, SO the inhab-
itants prefer to 60 everywhere by wa
ter. Little steamers ply from the
town of Lugano to Porlezza, taking a
zigzag course in order to call at the
various villages on either side Of the
lake. Y
OF all the villages. perhaps the most
beautiful is Morcote, which lies east Of
Lugano. with Its dark cypress trees
stsnding out on the hillside against the
pure sky, hut for sheer picturesque eff
feet the village Of Cambria must come
first.
The houses appear to rise straight
out Of the water, piled. as 1t were. one
on top of the other, quite haphaxard.
Many Of them shine white in the bright
sunlight with hard blue-black shadows
where the projecting caves cover
them. The walls at the waters edge
are festooned with flowers and creep
ers, clinging wherever they can nnd a
foothold, while the water laps softly
against dim shadows Of boats tied up
under dark archways.
Each little village forms separate
picture, having Its own characteristics,
while over all the mountain of San
Salvatore stands like sentry on
guard.

In 1873 Simon Newcomb finished an

from that day to this the Irregularities

See states that the irregularities In
the moons motion may be calculated,
and that thereby the accuracy Of the
predicted plnces in is orbit may be In
creased twelvefold.
"No irregularity," he asserted, now
remains in the moons motion large
enough to be seen In the transit circles
used by astronomers. Thus with the
previous mathematical development
carried out by Newton. Laplace. Hill.
Newcomb, Brown and others. the lunar
theory will be entirely perfected.
Professor See regards his discovery
as to the cause of the lunar fiuctua-

those who visited at his home say
that he smoked new pipe every day

were in corner OF the fireplace, with

Skim Milk Most Valuable
When Used as Food.
From the United States Department of


F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
While skim milk Is useful for animal
feeding 1t will serve its best use rs
food for humans. BY substituting grain,
green feed, buttermilk and whey In ami.
mnl feeding, much skim milk may he
left for human use rs beverage, in
cooking, condensing or for making cot
tage cheese Only the surplus OF this
valuable human food should be fed to
stock.
While skim milk Is good for stock,
the fact remains tina Its highest effi-
cheney cannot be had through turning
1t into meat. Skim milk is used most
economically in animal production
when fed to hogs, yet II takes 20
pounds when fed alone to produce one
pound of pork. The same quantity
will make three pounds of cottage
cheese. In addition, cottage cheese
contains IN times as much protein
and one-third as much energy as pork
so that the skim milk in the cheese
form gives quite as much energy and
Az times as much protein as It would
IL converted into ham or bacon.
Even at the highest prices recently
paid for hogs. skim milk fed to them
is worth NOT more than one cent 9
pound. Yet one cent pound or ap
'proximately one cent a pint, Is very
cheap for any human food. and par
ticularly for a food SO high in nutri
tive value as skim milk.
