bordering upon the Fraser, were the
cabins Of the pre-emptors. The roads
were dotted with the teams of the

up around the old trading post.
"They come like bees when the rush
starts" Bill remarked.
Leaving Fort George behind, they
bore across country toward Pine river.
Here and there certain landmarks,

uprose to claim her attention. And
one evening at sunset they rode up to

TAKES PLACE OF cows MILK
Substitute Derived From Pressed Al.
monds Has Been Found to Give
Fair Degree Of Satisfaction.

Substitutes for cows milk seem to
be obtainable from various vegetable
sources. Drs. II. d. Chaplin and Lud-
wig Kast of New York reported their
experience with almond milk, which
is prepared by first grinding tile
almonds fine, covering with water and
placing in the icebox overnight and
then pressing out with fruit press or
by hand through four layers of gauze.
The water may be twice the weight of
the nuts, the pressed-out liquid being
further diluted. The almond milk fer
ments much less easily than cows
milk, is richer In easily digestible fat
and in phosphorus and its small
amount of carbohydrate makes it less
likely to cause sugar fermentation. 1t
has been tried in more than one thou
sand adults. Though some dislike 1t,
no actual disturbances have been
caused by 1t, and 1t has served well
for temporary use in such conditions
as nephritis. typhoid, intestinal putre-
faction, malnutrition and secondary
anemia. Milk is similarly prepared
from the soy bean, already an impor-
tant source Of oil for margarine and
soaps. This milk, which may be freed
from Its strong bean odor by heating
to boiling point, contains 3.13 per cent
of casein and 80 ounces of the beans
are said to yield 46 ounces Of cheese

UMPIRE M PLACE or BULL
Mexican Editor fs of Opinion That
Baseball Is More Spectacular
Than Scientific. a.

Jose Campos is the editor of the Ex-
celsior, daily paper of Mexico City.
When in New York recently the Mexi-
can spent an afternoon at baseball
game. He thus records his Impressions
In New York Herald. ~
A large game Of baseball was cele-
brated this afternon in the Polo arena
in the city Of the Bronx, large ride
by train from New York city. As is
the custom of the United States of
North America, many Of the business
houses closed for the afternoon, SO en-
ployees might attend the spectacle. At
least 100000 civilians, soldiers and
many women and children were pres
ent.
The pitcher for the New York city
troupe was very valiant and charming.
The baseball clothing Is not as pretty
as that worn by the toreador, but the
players carry themselves well. The
game is played with the hands, but is
not like pelota in any respect. The OBJ
ject is to keep the ball off the ground,
and the troupe which does so the long
est wins the game.
In place Of a bull baseball has an
umpire, a man who does not play the
game, but who is authority of the
game. Unlike the Judge of the bull
fight. he stands on the field. He Is
not goaded with pixies, banderillas and
finally the sword, as is the bull, but is
the recipient of abuse from both play
ers and the multitude seated in the
huge arena. Instead of "another bull"
the crowds when displeased yell "Get
the hook!" The umpire is also called
a ''robber" and "big fathead."
The people at baseball game con-
tinually are eating or chewing gum or
smoking. But these occupations of the
mouth do not prevent perpetual yell
ing. 1t is difficult for one knowing lit
tie English to understand the things
cried at the players or the umpire. But
assume from the manner Of expires.
sion that words common to the lower
classes are used.
On large board at the back Of the
field is enumerated the number Of
times that each troupe drops the ball
The troupe dropping the ball the few
est times wins the game. Unlike the
bull fight, it is difficult to predict which
will win. In that respect the American
game of baseball is typical Of all
things American-it is more spectacu
lar than scientific. think If under

important Scientific Discovery.


The use of water holding fine sand
in suspension is a novel plan for sepa-
rating materials of different specific
gravity. A chemical solution of a den-
sity somewhat greater than that of the
lighter material has served in the
laboratory, but this has been CONNER
cially unsatisfactory on account of the
cost of the chemicals and the difficulty
of removing them from the substances
separated. The mechanical mixture
containing sand held up In water by
agitation has been found to take the
place of the true solution of the same
density. 1t Is stated that with quartz
sand and water, coal may be freed
from its ordinary impurities, and mag
netic iron ore sand gives fluid OF
sufficiently high specific gravity to
float quartz, limestone and feldspar,
while such heavy particles as those
of galena ore or metallic copper may
be used for fluids to float off still heav-
Ter solids.
