worried him. Foot by foot he ad-
vanced. and finally began to crawl.
The nearer he approached the head
of the arroyo. where the well was To-
Gated. the thicker grew the desert veg
citation. He secured favorable posi-
ton, and then rose TO peep from be-
hind his covert.
He saw bright fire, not cooking
fire, for that would have been low and
red. but a cracking blaze of mes
quite. Three men were in sight, all
close TO the burning sticks. They were
Mexicans and of the coarse type Of
raiders. rebels. bandits that Gale had
expected to see. A CLINT Of steel
caught his eye. Three short, shiny
carbines leaned against rock. A lit
tie to the left. within the circle OF
light. stood a square house made of
adobe bricks. This house was
Papagon Indian habitatiOn. and
month before had been occupied by a
family that had been murdered or
driven off by rowing band Of out
laws. A rude corral showed dimly In
the edge Of freight, and from a black
mass within came the snort and stamp
and whinny of horses.
Gale took in the scene in one quick
glance, then sank down at the foot
of the mesquite. He had naturally
expected to see more men. But the
situation was by no means new. This
was one. or part of one. Of the raider
h0nds marrying the border. They
were stealing horses. or driving a herd
already stolen. Gale revolved ques-
tons in mind. Had this trio of out
laws run across Laid? It was not
likely, for in that event they might
not have BEEN so comfortable and care
free in camp. Were they waiting for
more members of their gang? That
WAS very probable. With Gale, how

WHY DOES

SOUR?

A THOUGH we are accus-

"A turning sour within a few
days, no matter what the tenn
perature there is, one sure method
Of preventing this change-or at
least of postponing it indefinite
ly. If the milk Is thoroughly
boiled and then sealed so that air
cannot get to It, the liquid will re-
main fresh in any climate for
months and even years, just as
canned vegetables and meats will
retain their appetiZing qualities
under similar conditions. This,
of course, points to the fact
that there must De something in
the air itself which leads to
the souring Of milk and gives
the clue to the reason for this
chemical change.
Every drop Of milk contains
a large number Of bacilli, which,
working on the sugar in the
milk. produce the Tactic acid
kills these tiny Organisms and
Of the acid. In order to keep
the milk fresh after boiling,
however, 1t is necessary to pro-
tect it from the air, which con-
tains similar bacilli, and ex-
posture of less than a minute
will result in the introduction
Of a number Of these microbes
into the milk. AS they multiply
with amazing rapidity, even boiled
milk will sour within a short
time unless tho air Is rigidly
excluded. AS warm tempera-
lures aid in the growth of the
bacilli which produce Tactic acid,
keeping the milk in a refrigera-
tor or other cool place will
postpone the souring process,
but unless the liquid is frozen,
even this will not prevent it for
more than a few DAVIS

ards Of measurement must always
have been furnished by the d.
mansions Of the human body. A
fathom is six feet, the height of q
rather tall man. A yard is the
length Of his stride. An inch cor
responds with one Of his finger
joints.
A good deal of mystery has
been thrown. by suggestion, about
the fact that in the great pyramid
Of Gizeh, standards Of measure
ment were employed showing care
full correlations, and among the
most entertaining books in the
English language are PiaZZi
Sn1yth's Life and Work at the
Great Pyramid" and "Our Inheri-
lance in the Great Pyramid"
There the details Of this subject
will be found, and to some minds
they may appear of startling in
terest.
Egyptians, Babylonians and
other early Eastern races used
the cubit as the fundamental
standard. This was about 20.6
inches long, varying a little in
different places. The cubit was
divided into ffths. and three CT
these t1fths corTeSponded pretty
closely with our foot, or twelve
inches. Several cubit rods have
been found dating, on an average,
a thousand years B. c., and hav-
ing q mean length Of 2O.65 inches.
The small divisions Of the cubit
were less than an inch in length,
one being 1923 of an inch and an
other .65 Of an inch.
Probably no people ever had a
more complicated syst EN- Of
weights and measures than the
English. Among their curious
measures Of length are the hand,
inches; the palm, inches; the
nail from top Of thumb-nail to
base of thumb), IN inches; the
barleycorn, Ia inch; the finger,
Az inches; the ell, As inches.
