7 STERILIZED MILK.

Recent Investigations Have Strengthened the Arguments In Its Favor.

Although milk has so frequently been heid responsible for the dissemination of diphtheria, yet curiously but few ex- act investigations have been made on the behavior of diphtheria bacilli in milk. Hesse found that cholera bacilli underwent deterioration in raw. miik; that, in fact, when kept in these sur- roundings at a temperature of 37 de- grees C. (98 F.), they were entirely de- stroyed within 22 hours. Caro of Na- ples, on the other hand, working with anthrax bacilli in raw milk, states that these microbes flourish abundantiy im milk and abate no jot of their virulince under these conditions. Professor Schot- tellus has repeated these experiments and has entirely confirmed them. He has, however, extended his investiga- tions to the behavior of diphtheria ba- cilli in milk.

In a recent number of The Central- blatt fur Bakteriologie, Part I,” a sum- marized account is given of these re- searches, and it appears that in fresh milk diphtheria bacilli find an excep- tionally satisfactory material for growth and multiplication, In sterilized milk, however, their growth was not so abun- dant and was less strongly marked than in the ordinary broth used for cultiva- tion purposes. As the milk was only sterilized for half an hour by means of the ordinary Soxhlet apparatus, this difference in the vitality of the diphthe- ria bacilli in the raw and heated milk, respectively, could not have been due to the milk having become acid through heating. Hesse has shown that when milk is subjected to prolonged steriliza- tion at a high temperature it exhibits an acid reaction. Professor Schottelius concludes his paper with a warning, now so often repeated, of the danger at- tending the consumption of milk in its unsterilized condition.—Nature.

On a Modern Cattle Ship. The staterooms on these big boats are

tions for 60 passengers. From the com- mencement the experience was delight- ful. It was almvust impossible to be- lieve, as far as the motion of the vessel was concerned, that we were on the ocean. For instance, the rims on the tables to catch overflowing coffee or to stop the antics of fruits and foods were missing. There was no need for them, The explanation of the remarkable steadiness was in the fact that the ship like fins, running along the sides and pre- venting that rolling which is the de- spair of weak stomachs. This improve- ment represents the latest development in steady transportation for animals, and if the 800 quadrupeds we had on board appreciated it as much as the 60 bipeds who gloried in the smoothness and the comfort of it all they lived 11 ef the happiest days of their lives. Other ships, still larger than this, are now butiding.

The trip to London takes 11 days, and on the fifth day out I accepted the cap- tain’s invitation to accompany him on his morning inspection, “although, for that matter,’ he added, “you may visit any part of the ship at any time you choose.” Directly after breakfast we began the journey. There were nearly 600 cattle and 200 horses distributed on the three decks, and up and down the aisles between their protruding heads we walked. It was a bit doubtful at first, but the captain seemed to be on friendly terms with his cargo, and there was not the slightest danger. ‘‘How are you, old boy?’ was his greeting as he felt the ears of the animals to see if any of them had fever. When the captain was asked why he used the masculine exclusively, he explained that the cattle taken to England’s markets are bul- locks, and it became clear why the offi- cers at the table had smiled when the ladies gravely discussed the advantage of going over on a cattle ship because there was always a certainty of fresh milk.—Harper’s Wegklv.

EXPENSIVE BRASS BANDS.

Over Ten Yhousand Dollars Paid for a

Jeweled Cornet.

The writer was recently accorded the privilege of a peep into the museum at- tuched to the factory of one of the largest firms of brass instrument makers in Lon- don. Here are to be seen types, facsimiles and models of every kind of musical in- man has ever devised, invented or produced.

In one corner is a duplicate of what is believed to be the most costly presenta- It was made to the order of the late czar of Russia and is of sterling silver, richly graven with various devices, among which the armag of the imperial house of Romanoff figure conspicuously. The whole of the ornamentation is of beaten gold filigree work, and the ‘‘beil’’ of the instrument is thickly incrusted with rubies and emeralds. Its net value is a trifle over 2,000 guineas.

A melancholy interest attaches to a battered and blood stained bugle which was picked up on the field of Isandlwana, In addition to the dark patches, which were once splashes of wet blood, sundry fragments of woolly hair were adhering to the be!l of the instrument when first found, a pretty conclusive indication that the gallant owner had used it in a lust desperate effort to beat off his relentless foes. It may be that some ebony skinned Zulu still wanders about with an inden- tation in his skull whom it would be diff, 4lt to convince that ‘‘music hath charms.”’

Near to this interesting relic is a fac- simile of a set of drums which were made for the new Rhodesia horse. The peculiarity lies in the , fact that the cases are *f aluminfum, a precaution rendered necessary by the number of white ants that infest that country. The other in- struments are of brass, silves plated, and the whole band cost some £350.

The above is, of course, a comparative- ly modest turnout. For the real gorge- owness in brass bands it is pecessary to inspect some of the costly and magnifi- cent séta of instruments turned out for eastern potentates. The bands of even the smartest of our crack cavalry corps are absolutely not in it, so far as elegance of appearance is concerned, with the pri- vate bands Of some of our India tributary princes, although probably the latter would have to give the former several points if it came to «u musical contest between them.

The private band of the rac of Cutch, for instance, cost originally £900, and most of the instruments are renewed every four or five years. The tiger skin used by the roa’s big drummer, which Was sent over here to be prepared and mounted, was taken from an animal killed by his highness and measured over 7 feet in length. It is lined throughout with heavy corded crimson silk, and the brute’s eyes are simulated by a pair of big yellow diamonds.

Another very fine band was made three years ago to the order of the late shah of Persia. All of the instruments were of pure silver—which, by the way, does not give forth so good a sound as brass, be- sides being far heavier to handle—inlaid with gold. The total cost of this band de luxe was a trifle under 3,000 guineas. A very different kind of band was that made last year by the same firm for the Mimkish Indians. a tribe of savages liv- ing near Alert bay, in British Cobumbta. The band is nearly all drum, and the mouthpieces of the few brass instruments are tipped with india rubber, to obviate the inconvenience of applying metal to the lips in a temperature of some 30 to 40 degrees below zero.

A curious order was received a short time ago from the emperor of Marocca Tt was for 80 clarinets for one band. As the Instruments in question were all in one key it is probable that they were to be pleyed in unison. The effect upon an average men of 80 band clarinets blown simultaneously would probably be to ereate in him a wild desire to take to the woods and become on aborigine. Even to imagite such an ear piercing sombination sets one's tympanum quiv- wring. —Loéndon Answers.
