He stated that the white color and opacity of milk were not due, as was commonly supposed, to the liquid being in a fatty emulsion, but to the fact that the fat globules in milk were invest- ed with a caseous solid membrane which reflected light.

It should be lawful for any pexson to kill any dog not wearing his collar and number, and it should be the duty of the township constable to kill. or cause to, be killed every dog so found, whenever informed by any one of the existence of any such unregistered dog.
