row MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK
Manufacturers in England Have Pro-
duced Substitute So Perfect That
Cream Rises on II.

According to Popular Science Month
Is, they are making in England an ar
tificial milk which is so perfect that
cream rises on it and cheese can be
laade from it. The Ingredients are
ground peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and mineral salts.
About 400 grains of potassium phos-
rhate is dissolved in 200 pfnts of water
IT 176 degrees Fahrenheit Enough
sugar is added to give $40 per cent
to the finished product. Forty pounds
of meal prepared from the nuts and
.koiled in steam-jacketed pan; then
it is subjected to an operation of va
cum pan, and lastly it Is treated with
culture of tactic bacteria until the
required acidity is obtained. After 1t
is pasteurized and cooled a small per-
centage of eitric acid is added. e-sz
The milk thus produced may be con-
densed and sold in cans, or dried and
powdered, or sold as liquid in bottles.
The addition of nut fats will give GER
tain proportion Of cream. By using
sufficient Tactic bacteria the product
may be cultured to give table cream
or soured mass for making cheese.

Save Your Eyesiaht.

"a great many men who are well
enough Informed ON other topics do
not know the first principles Of how to
conserve their eyesight," DR.. Eugene
L. Fisk is quoted in Worlds Work.
'',Tley may be conscious of eye strain
aid yet unconsciously go right on do
ing many things to increase that strain,
things such as these-reading news
paper on jiggly street car, working
with light directly behind them or
directly in their faces, reading CT work
ing in too bright glare or iii dim or
tiickering Illumination. They do not
realize that they might well limit their
allowance OF moving pictures. They
do not knew the harm in too brilliant
a desk light. They buy worthless pat
ent nostrums for the eye and have 6
positive dread about adopting glasses.
The price they pay for all this is often
extremely dear. 1t ranges from con-
slant physical discomfort to loss of
sight"

Lungs of the Whale.

Concerning the breathing apparatus
of the whale an eminent naturalist
says: The windpipe does not COM
mun;cate with the mouth. A hole is.
as it We're. bored right through the
back of the head Engineers would
co well to copy the action of the valve

feet piece of structure it is impossible
to imagine. Day aud night, asleep O.;

apparatus i'll such manner that not
a drop of water ever gets down into
the lungs. Again. the whale must OF
NECESSITY stay a much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him. inasmuch
as the lungs cannot have access to
fresh air. We find that this difficulty
has been anticipated and obviated by
a peculiar reservoir in the venous sys-
TEN, which reservoir is situated at the
lack of ti.a lungs"

Mi5I AlkLl Of sLa aats
Hardly More Than . Generation Ago
They Were to Be Found Within
Few Miles Of Each Neighborhood.

The report published in Bridgeport
newspaper that the owner of grist
mill at Sandy Hook, Conn.,, having Sc
cured few bags of wheat, ground it
up and sold it to his neighbors, to be
mixed with Western flour, the result
being a cheaper material for bread.
brings us back to the days of hardly
more than generation ago, when
Northern farmers produced grain on
their farms and had it ground in the
ueighboring grist mill, then an insti-
tuition to be found within few miles
of every neighborhood, says the Provi-
dence Journal. There was no indica-
ton in those days that the ground
product of the grain, whether corn or
wheat, was inferior to any produced
elsewhere. But now with the advent
of modern machinery our civilization
every particle of nutritious gluten, so
far as it tends to discolor the flour, is
eliminated. AS for homegrown, home
ground cornmeal, that is rarity
known only to few oldtime epicures
and secured by them with considerable
difficulty.
In the southern Appalachians, now
ever, the old-time grist mill is still in
use. The farmers there raise their
own corn, and the miller grinds it as
they desire it, usually a bushel at a
grist. from which the miller reserves
a measure for his toll. In the Pied
mont section of North Carolina and
Virginia, where wheat is grown, there
are flour mills for grinding the farm
ers' wheat, and the product is every
bit as good as that of our Western
mills, although it may not be quite up
to their standard of whiteness. Be-
fore the Civil war entire cargoes of
Virginia flour were shipped from Rich
mond to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and
their values returned in shipments of
coffee. but the war ended that trade
and it never has been revived.
