It In ComprcNNfil Milk, in A\liicli All
Sort* of liiirtcnl Microbe* Are
S«| nee/.e«l to Dcnlli.
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

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

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

deserts of the southwest, where the

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.

The followirg new and curious op

"Our illust ration represents a series
of black squares placed at regular dis

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

a sort of penumbra with indefinite

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

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.

TEMPORARY HOUSES.

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

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.—

I lion. 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— —— ;

Peruna is the Minneapolis, Minn, j
medicine of the
age. it cures when all other remedies
fail. I can heartily recommend Pu
runa as a catarrh remedy."
The spring is the time to treat ca
tarrh. Cold, wet winter weather often
retards a cure of catarrh. 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.
If you do not derive prompt and
satisfactory results from the use of
Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.
