After pasteurised milk, aerated milk, Sterilized milk, peptonized milk, lac tated milk and malted milk, there is now to lie added a new kind of scien tific hygienic milk. It is compressed milk. By this new process tlie microbes that abound in cow's niilk are squeezed to death, at least a part of them are, for there are 500,000 perms to every teaspoonful of raw cow's milk. To investigate the effect of pressure on bacteria, an apparatus was devised which is remarkable for having pro duced what is probably the greatest hydrostatic pressure ever reached, over 450,000 pounds per square inch. The particular object of these ex periments was to determine whether the bacteria in milk might not be killed by hydrostatic pressure, so that it would keep a longer time without souring. Moderate pressures were first tried, but appeared to have no ef fect. The pressures were then in creased and notable results were ob tained. Milk subjected to pressures of 70 to 100 tons kept from 24 to 60 hours longer without souring than untreat ed milk. The degree to which Ilie keeping qualities of milk were im proved appeared to depend as much on the time for which the pressure was maintained as upon the actual pres sure reached. Pressures of 00 tons per square inch maintained for an hour delayed the souring of milk from four to six days. Complete sterilization of the milk, however, was in no case effected, even at the highest pressures, and the milk in many eases acquired peculiar tastes and odors on keeping, indicating that certain species of bacteria were killed while others were not. —Chicago Amer ican. MONSTER SOLAR MOTOR. llcnt of (lie Sun Itlligeri In Kim llir Enicine of an Irrina<lon riant in California. The first sun motor to be put to a practical everyday use is believed to be that recently installed at I'asadena, Cal. Its principle is as old as man. Its application is new. JSy means of a huge construction of mirrors, resem bling an inverted umbrella on a larpe scale, the heat of the sun's rays is con centrated on a long cylindrical boiler, which without the application of any other heat furnishes sufficient steam for the running of a ten horse-power engine. The engine is at work pump ing water from a well 12 feet deep. Tlie best record it has made is the lift- SOLAR MOTOK IN ACTUAL USE. ing of 1,400 gallons of water a minute, which is sufficient to irrigate 500 acres of trees or 200 acres of alfalfa. By the use of the sun motor the item of fuel is entirely done away with. Steam is raised on sunshiny days by turning the mirror frame until the proper focus is obtained on the boiler. The supply of water in the boiler and the working of the machinery are ar ranged automatically, so that little human labor is needed in connection with its use. The most immediate and Important use of the new motor is ex pected to be the furnishing of a sup ply of water for irrigating the sandy deserts of the southwest, where the eun shines brightly for more than 70 percent, of the days and fuel is almost impossible to obtain. I'ire Alarm for Hiiiltliiig:". A new electric fire alarm is intend ed to announce the appearance of fire to passers-by outside the building In which it is placed. It consists of n metallic ease containing a charge of pyrotechnic compound similar to b Bengal 1 itrlit, and surmounted by a small igniting fuse. The whole is made water-tight, and is arranpped to he putin position on a cornice or other prominent part of the build ing. The fuse is connected through thermostats with a battery, so that a high temperature in the vicinity of one of the thermostats closes the cir cuit, explodes the igniting charge and lights the slow-burning compound, which gives a brilliant light. Mid this attracts the attention of people in the neighborhood. Why filnxM l(<,t,ls Water. Utensils of plnss will hold water because the globules of water are too big to squeeze through the glass, but glass is as full of holes as a spojige. and air blows right through it, because the specks or molecules of air are ■mailer than t&e holes. NEW OPTICAL ILLUSION. I nliiuc Problem Coil rit»iite«l tn Sci ence l» y >l. Henri Conpin, n ]S«'ed French Pli ilonnplier. The followirg new and curious op tical illusion is contributed by M. Hen ri Coupin to La Nature. He says: "Our illust ration represents a series of black squares placed at regular dis tances apart and separated by white bands crossing each other regularly at right angles. At least this is how the illustration has represented them. But in reality, in each of the places where the white bands cross we see very plain shadow, or, more exactly, a sort of penumbra with indefinite INTERESTING ILLUSION. boundaries. If the attention be fixed on one of these spots in particular it disappears at once, while the neigh boring spots persist. This is evident ly due to the fact that the phenomenon is produced only in regions of the retina distant from the 'yellow spot' (spot of most distinct vision) - regions where the sight is always a little eon fused. It would be interesting to vary the size of the squares anil of their intervals to see at what moment the phenomenon would disappear. Optical illusions are a good deal more than mere amusements. - Studied with care, they can do a good deal toward clearing up the problem of vision which is still so imperfectly under stood." WORN-OUT STEEL RAILS. Tliey Are Xot Sent to the Scrap Heap, llut Arc I scii for SiilinjsN, Spur* and llranch Linen. Several thousand miles of new and heavier rtfils are laid every year on railroads in the United States, and t liese renewals arc made much oftener than the actual requirements of travel call for them, t here being a steady sub ■titution of heavy for light rails. Nearly !i0 per cent, of the track of all railways in the United States is ! now of steel. A steel rail will usually ! wear out first at the ends, owing to , Ihe wheels hammering over the open j joints. The average life of an iron rail is six years, of a steel rail 12. j A 40-pound steel rail—4o pounds to j each yard of length would be taken up and replaced by one of 55 pounds; i a 55-pound rail would be replaced by one of 70 pounds, and a 70-pound rail I would he replaced by one of 85 pounds, perhaps. There is about one such change at the end of each four years, or three complete replacements of ! rail during the time one would serve in use. The custom, general among Ameri ' can railroads, has given rise to the I question: What becomes of the old ! steel rails, or rather those for which others were substituted? Any ruil ! road man can readily give the answer: They serve, second-hand, the inter ests of the road, being used for si iff tigs or spurs. A siding, in railroad phrase, means a line of track on which a freight or accommodation train may be run while a through train is passing, or on ! which a train may be sidetracked be fore loading or unloading. A spur is an irregular line of track which con nects a storehouse, wareroom, fac tory, mill, or ship landing with the main line, and the multiplication, of these spurs has been of undeniable • service to all roads in the development i of their freight business. The traffic on sidings is small; on spurs it is still less, and the deplaeed steel rails may be in use on them for many years.—X. Y. Sun. FUNERAL TROLLEY CAR. Baltimore Street Railway Companion Have lla<l One llnilt at Connid eralilc E\penwe. Baltimore has a number of fine suburban cemeteries, all of which are j reached by some division of the street | railway lines, and the company found by putting in a few crossovers they ! could take a ear from any part of the | city to any one of the burying grounds. I It was, therefore, decided to offer ears for transportation of funeral parties, j says the Street Railway Review. The i company built a speeial car well adapt jed for the purpose. The car is di- I vided into two compartments, the ! smaller of which has running its full | length another compartment or \*ault |in which the casket is carried. A I heavy plate glass door hinged to swing j downward gives access to the vault i from the outside. When a casket is | to be placed in the car, the shelf is j drawn out, the casket lifted upon it, and the shelf is then pushed back in ! place. The larger compartment has ! 12 cross seats in the center aisle, giv | ing a seating capacity of 24; thesmall i er compartmentlias four seats. Heavy | black curtains divide this section into two private compartments for the im mediate family of the deceased. Floral contributions are piled upon the top of the vault, and can be seen from the street. The car is finished inside and out with black enamel with nickel plated fixtures. The car has been named "Dolores," meaning sorrow, and it is rented at from S2O to $25 for each interment. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 25. 1901. ■—-k - _ 1 pad'"U' TEMPORARY HOUSES. A Prnimyl villi la I'oulf r> mn n l'refera 'l'la«-in to llie lo»ll> Structure* He I mil fur Many Yearn. T started 18 years ago with a well bunt poultry house, which, while com fortable in winter, was 100 hot in sum mer. It finally beeame infested with vermin, whieh 1 could not keep rid of. I finally built sheds of poles and old hay, and have used them with ihe best results. These sheds are made 25x100 feet and ten feet high, with poles set in the ground six to eight feut apart. Use poles for the top pieces, put cross wise. Fence wire is stapled on top of the cross pieces lengthwise, about 14 inches apart. About two feet of old hay is put on and tar paper laid evenly over the hay, with the ends projecting on the north about five feet. Six-foot small-mesh poultry netting is put on the sides all around the shed, and before stapling to place the wire is set in the ground about eight inches to keep nut rats. Poles are then set about three feet from the sides all around the shed, with the exception of the south side, and a few strands of wire tacked to them to keep the sides in place. When the hay is putin it is tramped well un til it is built up to the paper and the projecting laps laid over. When cold weather sets in the south side of the shed is covered with heavy - ■ HENHOUSE MADE OF IIAT. duck and slats nailed over the duck. For entrance a flap is left and a board tacked to the duck endwise. Loops of leather or wire are stapled tot tie board to draw taut. This will give the build ing plenty of light and will answer better than window glass. During the warm months the duck is removed and put away for future use. The sides on the north are also removed for ventila tion. In the fall new sheds and runs are erected upon a new location, the poles removed, the old pile of hay burned and the ground plowed for a garden for the next season. During the winter when th>- weath er requires it these sheds are heated with steam from two old steam cook ers in a greenhouse, which is located about the center of this row of sheds. Two-inch pipe is laid through the sheds upon blocks of wood in a trench 20 inches deep. It is covered with boards and then dirt. The pipes through the shed are not covered, with the exception of slats over the trench. The steam does not return to the greenhouse, but is let out at the end of the last building. I breed fancy poultry altogether and was unable to get paying prices for stock and keep them in perfect order until 1 adopted this style of buildings.—Orange Judd Farmer. POULTRY YARD HINTS. The dust bath is still one of the ne cessities in the poultry house. Wake your buildings tight and warm for your fowls, and they will be better egg producers. Cireen bone and meat scraps in win ter take the place of bugs and worms that the fowls have during the sum mer. A pullet is at her best as a show bird just before she reaches the laying point as regards color, condition of plumage and general physical develop ment. If you have eggs to sell this spring it is high time you were advertising them. Get yourself before the public in time to get well acquainted before the egg season begins. It is never wise to buy breeding stock at beginning of breeding sea son. Buy before, so that the stock will have become used to its new surround ings before breeding season com mences.—Barnum's Midland Farmer. Good llomrx In Demand, The breeding of horses, like all other kinds of live stock, will pay if the aim is to produce the very best. The greatest drawback to tlie busi ness at the present time is the lack of good stallions of the different breeds throughout the country. So far as our observation extends there are fewer first-class stallions acces sible at this time than ever before, and it will take some time to get them through the country. Those who have good mares of any breed and are in reach of the right kind of stallions are fortunate just at this time, and will make the rearing of horse stock a profitable branch of farming.—Farmers' Voice. PlmitiiiK I.ocn«tii for Pn«t«. The black, yellow and white locusts are merely varieties or forms of the same species, Robinia pseudacacia. The black and yellow forms are con sidered most resistant and are usual ly found in the driest places. If seeds or suckers can be had from these dark and dense-wooded types they would naturally be preferred for planting. All varieties of the common locust are attacked by bor ers, and a multitude of insect ene mies. The honey locust, Gleditschia triacanthos, is not troubled by in sects to so great an extent as the Kobinia, but is much inferior in last ing qualities as fence material.— Rural Kew Yorker.

John Williams, County Coua | missioner, of 517 West Second street, Duluth, Minn., says the following in re gard to Peruna: "As a remedy for ca tarrh 1 can cheerfully recommend Pe runa. 1 know w hat it is to suffer from that terrible disease and I feel that it | is my duty to speak a good word for the I tonic that brought me immediate re lief. Peruna cured me of a bad case of catarrh and I know it will cure any other sufferer from thai disease." Miss Matt.ie L. Guild, President Illi nois Young People's Christian Tem perance Union, in a recent letter from Chicago, 111., says: " I doubt if Peruna has a rival in all the remedies recommended to-day for catarrh of the system. A remedy that will cure catarrh of the stomach will cure the same condition of the mucous membrane anywhere. I have found it the best remedy / have ever tried for catarrh, and believing it worthy my endorsement I gladly accord it." Mrs. Elmer Fleming, orator of Res ervoir Council No. 16S, .Northwestern Legion of Honor, of Minneapolis, Minn., writes from 25:i3 Polk street, N. 13.: "I have been i— —— ; troubled all my life with c«i- Jpilm tarrn in my JRMS* head. 7 took j jBSg ah 011 " 1 three j STR months, nll d | / now think I J a m p e r in a nentlv cured. 1 believe that for catarrh in nil its forms Mrs. Elnu r Fl'ming, J Peruna is the Minneapolis, Minn, j medicine of the age. it cures when all other remedies fail.

If a course* of Peruna is taken during the early spring months the cure will be prompt, and permanent. There can be no fail ures if Peruna is taken intelligently during the favorable weather of spring. As a systemic catarrh remedy Pe runa eradicates catarrh from the sys tem wherever it may be located. It cures catarrh of the stomach or bow els with the same certainty as catarrh, of the head.
