ELECTRICITY AND MILK.
What It Is That Causes the Latter
to Become Sour.
From the Lancet.
During serious electrical disturbances
in the atmosphere It is well known that
beer may become "hard," milk may go
sour, and meat may frequently "turn."
Considerable speculation has arisen
as to the cause uf thin change. It has
been suggested that an ozonized state
of the air due to electric discharge has
something to do with it, or that the
formation of nitrous acid In the air
Is responsible for the change. It is,
however, not probable that the atmos
phere undergoes any chemical change
sufficient to account for the extent to
which certain foods "turn." Moreover,
any important quantity of ozone or
nitrous acid would be calculated to ex
ert a preservative effect, us both are
powerful antiseptics.
It may be urged, again, that the phe
nomenon is due to oxidation by means
of ozone, but this can hardly be tho
case, In view of the large quantities of
beer and milk that are soured In rela
tion to the very small quantity of ozone
which a thunderstorm produces. In
tho caso of meat, at any rate, the "turn
ing" can scarcely be attributed to tho
action of ozone or oxygen. Tho change
is probably due, not directly to chemi
cal agencies, but purely to a disturb
ance of the electric equilibrium.
It Is well known thut an opposite
electrical state Is set up by Induction,
so thut an electrical condition of tho
atmosphere induces a similar condition,
though opposite in character, In the
objects on tho earth. Persons near
whom a flush of lightning passes fre
quently experience u severe shock by
induction, though no lightning touches
them; and In the celebrated experi
ment of Galvani ho showed that a
skinned frog in tho neighborhood of an
electrical machine, although dead, ex
hibited convulsive movements every
time that a spurk wus drawn fiom tho
conductor. In the case ot milk "turn
ing" or of beer "hardening'' or of meat
becoming tainted, it Is probably, there
fore, nn Instance of chemical convul
sion or, it may bo, of u stimulus given
to bacteriological agencies set up by an
opposlto electric condition Induced by
the disturbed electrical statu of the at
mosphere. Although theso changes are
most marked during a thunderstorm,
yet undoubtedly they occur at other
times, though not to thq sumo degree;
when there is no upparent electric dis
turbance.. But even when the sky Is clear, tho
atmosphere may exhibit considerable
electricul tension. The electroscope con
stantly shows that u conducting point
elevated in tho ulr Is taking up a posi
tive charge (as a rule) of electricity,
the tension rising with tho height of
the point. This effect Increases toward
duybreak until It reaches a inaximuin,
some hours nfter sunrise. It then di
minishes until It Is weakest, u few
hours before sunset, when again It rises
and attains u second maximum value
some hours after sunset, the second
minimum occurring before daybreak.
There are, accordingly, constant
changes of electricul tension going on,
changes, however, Which are moro
rapid und much more marked during a
thunderstorm nnd which ure quite
powerful enough to exert an evil Influ
ence on certain articles of food or drink

officer."

that he had known of Bartholin's place
of concealment for several days, and
that he had been dickering without
success to arrange for a deposit of a
reward before he would divulge his In

refused to let a detail of police join
him. He would only say that his name
was McCarthy. Pressed by the in
spector as to whether his suspect was
within the limits of the city, ho only
replied by asking if 130th street was
outside the city limits.

the clothes found near the body made
them hold to tho belief that it was her
body they had burled,
