Sour Milk by Violet Rays.

It has always been commonly be lieved that milk curdles owing to the change of temperature and that by using ice this difficulty would be over. come. according to Dr. Humbert Bug, zOni In the Electrical Experimenter but this precaution does not take away the primal cause. While germs in milk remain latent under the unfavOr- able environment of perhaps zero de. gree. they develop Immediately upon being brought in contact with High, and more productive environment.
 The moment ultra violet rays come in contact with the infinitesimal life development begins. and while 1t is true that some microbes are destroyed by the ultra violet rays. 1t has been found that the inferior organisms gen erally develop more rapidly under the influence Of these rays.

HUNTED BY WILD ELEPHANT
Carl 2. Aieiey, Natdraiist, Relates Ex. perienee of eeinb Attacked by Mae
 sive South African Beast.

The hunter and tuxidermist, Carl E
 Akeley. who has spent a great deal oi paInstakine eifort in preparing ths
 wonderful animal groups at the Ameri can Museum of Natural History. is known throughout South Africa as ar elephant hunter. He has had many thrilling experiences. one of which he describes in the New York Sun as fol lows:
 Elephants are no more conspicuous in their own country than jack rabbits are in theirs. They are the color of the shado@l fn the forest and almost as indlstintufshabie. Intelligence and tfhdictiveness are two of their most pfoininent characteristics. When one knows he Is being hunted he will lie in wait. still as a rock. and looking much like one. and will hunt his hunter as dog hunts a rat.
 had cut big bull out from herd and was following his spoor, knowing we'll enough that he was lying in walt for me somewhere. The big beast, as it turned out afterwards got my wind as was stalking him. and was search ing for me.
 must have got within ten or twenty feet of him. because I remembered afterward that l heard a swift rush but did not catch sight of him coming. The first I knew of his presence was a quick vision of his trunk as he knocked me down. Then I caught one glimpse of his little eyes as he curlrd up his trunk out of the way and tried to iinpnle me with his tuskS.
 had just time to grasp tusk with my left hand and twist myself SO that my body was between the two shafts of ivory. l felt the impact of his tusks as they dug into the ground on either side of me, and his heavy nose crushed against my chest. That is all re- member.
 My hunter fortunately shot him dead n> he was preparing for another thrust. l was unconscious as they car- r'"d me to the camp. where I lay for fhre" months. with my chest SD crushed that It was doubtful whether or not I should live.

s4a flSh opposs ooiter.

Sea flSh Of all Kinds has been found to oppose goiter in communities where goiter prevails extensively. Author ities have attributed the remark able prevalence of goiter and ere tinism or myxoedema (physical defect rfue to failure of normal thyroid gland functioh) in Switzerland to the scare. lty of sea food in that inland coun. try. And there is some ground for the Idea that more frequent use of sea fish in the diet tends to prevent os cure simple gOiter. which Is rather ex' cessively prevalent In the great lakes hasin. Sea fish contains iodine in as. Iinilable form. and 1t is to this ele. lnent that the foods value in cases of gOiter is ascribed.

Hubert w. Kelly, kinsman of Food Commissioner Hamp Williams, has written another excellent descriptive letter from the France front which will be read with much interest locally lt follows.
 France, Dec 2, 1917. Dear Folks
 l have procrastinated, but my neg ligence demands no apology. We have had our wind up" a few days, as Tommy says, and have thought lit- tle of letters. "Fritzy' took a fancy to our rendezvous and hurled a ton or two into our camp. Fortunately no one was injured, and things have lapsed back into the old monotonOus rut. One cannot realize that a sit uation is serious until it is brought to his doorstep in the shape of red-hot eclat, clots of clay, and an assortment of debris. When he stands and sees a few geysers of terra firma rise fifty feet in his front yard, hears the bits of shattered chalk and wood rattle on his "tin-hat," he suddenly becomes obsessed with an overwhelming desire to leave and with his gas mask trail ing behind him, he makes for the high hills surrounding a little tin-roofed camp somewhere in France
 The sheli-uoles are objects of cur iosity, the steel fragments, rather un- shapely for their perilous Journey, have been collected, and "Sammies" pockets are turned into a miniature ammunition dump. Everybody has q different tale to tell, in defending his actions under fire, and telling which eateen he was going 10 when the sec ond shell struck
