When Milk Sours.

Milk will sour in any kind of warm and moist temperature. and because just before and during a thunderstorm the air Is generally quite warm and moist, it Is only natural that it should turn sour. It is wrong, however, to say or think that thunder makes milk sour. Thunder is only a noise, and noise cannot do anything but make itself heard. The fact that 1t is gen. orally warm and moist, however, when iJ thunders, coupled with the fact that these conditions of the air sour milk very rapidly, has led people to con- meet the two in their minds and caused them to fall into the error of believing that the thunder is responsible for the change in the milk. ..#...

Effect of Color on Soil

To test the effect of color on soil and on vines, a specialist at the expert mental vineyard in Montpelier, France, covered the ground with a thin layer of cement, leaving small opening for each stem, and then painted portions of the cement white, black and red. Under the black and red the soil tenn perature rose much higher than un- der the white, giving nearly twice as much growth to the vines. The pro- ductive soils of the Midi, 1t is point ed out, are mostly reddish, and those ot the vineyords of the Charentes ars black.

GIVES DEFINITION OF POWER
Being . Description of That Which Knows No VariabIeness, Nor
 Shadow Of Turning.

Power was the beginning. It dates back to the sun. Always 1t has been twofold. Alternately it Is repose and effort, alternately growth and birth, and always progress, Emerson Hough writes in Pictorial Review.
 Readiness and action in one, 1t Is both, it is neither, it is either.
 The man-made motor of power purrs gently on the level, but, opposed by the activity, 1t summons itself, rouses and roars alike its protest and its pean.
 The God-made river is power, end less and renewed, dating back to un- ceasing snows on eternal and unchang- ing hills.
 At times, 1t is silent, and at times tempestuous when opposed. Always it Is progress.
 No power ever was or ever can be lost. It goes from the primal unit, in to the Monad, and it endures, twofold.
 There is no divorce in the union of power. The woman mated to the man really strong never leaves him, never ceases to entwine her arms about his neck.
 It is the strong who give courage and who offer faith, the weak who are loose Tipped and unenduring.
 In the monogamy of purpose there is no wavering. The lion and the eagle are strong; the rabbit and the guinea pig are weak.
 Power is the law. We love it in its calm, fear it in its wrath. Our arms never cease to embrace 1t, our souls never cease to implore 1t.
 Rightfully we reverence 1t, rightfully do more than admire it. It is law it. self, twofold-progress and birth, two fold.
 It is the ancient of days, knowing 1 no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
