Pigeon Flies With Locomotive.
The
following story of a pigeon
which pilois trains between More-

England. Flying quite near the cniine-
ney stack on the windward side fo

winged escort rises when the train ap-
‘proaches a bridge, and then flies over;
it has never been known to go under
the bridge. When the train stops at
a station, the bird circles around and
alights near the engine; it takes wing
again as soon as the conductor hlows
his whistle. More less tame, the
pigeon is unresponsive to tempting

officials. Tt never fails to return home

Expert Walkers on Stilts.
«Ihe department of Landes, in Gas

of stiltwalking. Owing to the im-
permeability of the sub-soil, low lying
districts are converted into marshes,
and shepherds and farmers have to
spend the greater part of their lives
on stilts. These are strapped to the

| NOTES FROM STATE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.
| With inspectors at the York fair
| this week, the Division of Restaurant
| Hygiene, State Department of
! Health, nears the end of a strenuous
{ campaign to clean up eating and
| drinking places at fairs.
House Bill No. 937, enacted by the
' yecent Legislature, gives this Divis-
jon ample authority to compel medic-
| al examination of all food and drink
handlers in the State; the use of hot
water and soap for washing dishes
sanitary condition of places where
food or drink is served.
Mr. John M. Delaney, chief of the
Division of Restaurant Hygiene, re-
ports that as many as 1100 food hand-
lers at one fair were visited by in-
spectors from his Division, and that
at all fairs held during the season
| there was only one instance where an
inspector met with refusal
the law. Mr. Delaney says, “The re-
appearance of the inspector flanked
by two state policemen was all that
was necessary. The required certifi-
cates from physicians were immedi-
ately forthcoming, and- a general
clean-up of eating places was made.”

Scrofula Most Progressive Now.
Sudden changes of weather are especial-
ly trying, and probably to none more sO
than to the serofulons and consumptive.
The progress of serofula during a nor-
mal antumn is commonly great.
It is probable that few people ever think
of secrofula—its bunches, eruptions, and
wasting of the body— without thinking of
the benefit many suilerers from it have

ROBBING BABY’S MILK.
Milk fed to babies and young chil-
| dren in hospitals and other institu-
tions was frequently pasteurized by
' slow heating to the boiling point. The
method is alleged to be open to criti-
cism. Recent experiments with
, young rats have shown that when fed
on milk thus treated they grow at
‘only about half the normal rate.
This seems to be due to the fact
that with slow heating the milk loses
a large part of its calcium salts,
which settles to the bottom and along
the sides of the container in the form
'of an insoluble precipitate. These
salts are very necessary for growth
and especially for the building of
| bones. They are mainly phosphate of
| calcium, which is the stuff bones are
‘made of. Unsweetened evaporated
' milk when tried on young rats gave
| similar unfavorable results, and for a
| like reason.
The above mentioned inference was
confirmed by adding calcium phos-
| phate to the slowly heated milk, which
| then proved productive of rat growth
‘at a normal and satisfactory rate.
| The same favorable result was ob-
| tained when scrapings from the sides
