FROM 32 TO 36 DEGIIEF.S.
Now I think I have said enough to
show 'why o'er butter is irregular in
quality, and why some of it 'deter-
iorates rapidly after reaching the
other side. After butter is packed
bowes the length of linie it will
keep 'depends almost wholly on the
temperature at which it is lield.
The age of butter is more properly
calculated according to the tempera-
ture at which it has been stored
than from the date on which it was
made. Butter whichwould -turn
out well after several months stor-
age at 10 degrees or under, might
become quite stale anil rained in a
few weeks at 10 to 50. Butter may
be held at the creamery at these
high temperatures for a weele or so
without slimming much deteriora-
tion, nevertheless the fermentations
which produce bad flavore, rancidity,
etc., have been doing their work and
shortening tho life of the butter.
These fermentations may be checked
when the butter is placed in cold
storage at Montreal or on the
steamer, only to start up again
with renewed vigor wheit the batter
is exposed to high' temperatures on
the other side.
Let every creamery owner give
this matter Iris earnest attention
during the coming season, If be fin'ds
that with proper management the

A. Berlin, Germany, despatch says:
A patent has been taken out here for

is predicted will render disputed be-

unnecessary and perhaps impossible.
By the use of this machine a consum-

DYNAMITE PLOT,

Alleged Attempt do Blow 'Up the
Xing of apaan,
A ;despatch from 'London says :-
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail says that 'clueing a recep-
tioa at the palace last Saturday in
honor of King Alfonso's saint's day
a dynamite plot was nearly success-
ful. The police noticed two neespic-
ious looking men seated on a bench
near one of the entrances, The men,
realizing that t)aey were watched,
left the bench, leaving a parcel be-
neath ie. Tins parcel proved to be
a soldered tin box„ with a smolder-
ing "wick aetached. It VMS exanained
at a laboratory, and found to con-
tain a quantito of dynamite, gun-
powder, broken glass and bullele. If
it had eaploded there would have
been many victims, tlie palace being
croevded. There is no clue to the
two men, but they are believed to
be eenercnists.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
--
Radium Used With Success in Cer-
tain Cases of Cancer,
A despatch from. Vienna, says: Prof.
Gussenbauer, an eminent surgeon, has
discovered that contraction of the
gullet caused by cancer can be allevi-
ated in certain cases by the use of
radium. 'The experiment was made
of applying sixty milligrammes of
radium in a rubber capsule contained
in the end of a bougie to the effected
eart. The radium rays decomposed
the cancerous grosvth, 1 • • 't)
gullet, and allowing food to be swal-
lowed, thus obviating an operation
for the introduction of food into the
stomach. The experiment is some-
what dangerous until further know-
ledge is obtained, inasmuch as too
much radium will decompose the ul-
cer so rapidly that there is risk of
perforating the gullet.
CURE FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

Marraorelc, of Paris, was injected by
Dr. L. J. Lemieux, of this city, the
patients being at the Notre Dame
Hospital, one afflicted with tubercul-
osis of the lungs, and tile other with
tebercelosis of the knee. The admin-
istration of the serum was successful
in the highest degree. It will be in-
jected for a period of ten days. Then
the patients will have it rest of ten
days, and then, if necessary, 'the
treatment will be continued for an
additional ten days.
