Milk From Peanuts.

The common peanut is the source
of new substitute for milk which
so closely resembles it's prototype
that it turns sour and curdles, pro-
duces buttermilk when churned and
may be made into cheese, says the

which the nut characteristically per-

only point of variance with cows

mated in the laboratory of an Amer

their volume of milk, varying from 4
to s per cent in fat content and from
pa to 3.3 per cent in protein. The
cost of production is said to be con-
siderably less than the market price
of dairy milk.

How Paris May Aid Students.

The creation of university City,

and recommends that fer this purpose
nine hectares (22A acres) of land
which will be set free by the demoli-
ton of Notifications near the Pare de
Montsouris, be transferred to the Uni
versity of Paris.
The price to be paid for the land is
31a million francs (normally about
$2,70O,Oo0). 1t is proposed to construct,
in the center of tree-shaded playing
fields, buildings, in which students Of
the Quarter Latin can be comfortably
housed at reasonable charges. The
buildings will contain a restaurant,
library and recreation room, with
garden attached. 1t is expected that
accommodations will be provided for
more than two thousand students.

substance as "the sweet principle of

many other chemists resulted in the
perfecting of the glycerin which is
now so largely used in manufactures,
