CHEESE BOXES.

give two cents above the regular
price for such boxes, but it paid to
do so, for the reports on shipments

there Is almost enough wasted in
trimming boxes, either in the cheese
factory or at Um warehouse, to Make
up elite difference of two cents.
Boxes are now worth at least one
cent per inch In depth, and that part
which cs cut away is absolute
waste."
If boxes are not thoroughlt, dry
when put on the cheese, the growth
of mould is started. This is particu-
larly the case in cold weather, when
the boxes dry slowly.
In .almIng to have the cheese fit
the boxes without trimming, It Is well
to remember that a. box, which mea-
sures twelve Mlles deep when newly
made, will shrink to eleven and a
half inches as it dry out. The same
box will expand again to nearly its
original depth after It has been in
a, warehouse for a week or so, be-
cause its absorbs moisture from the
cheese. In fitting dry boxes to the
cheese, it Is necessary, therefore, to
have the cheese project at least one
quarter of an inch above the edge
of the box. One would think it hard-
ly neceseary to call attention to
the importance ef having the box
of tho-. proper diameter to fit the
cheese snugly. No box will sta.nd the
handling that is not supported by
the cheese on the inside. Yours very

MT. Edison, according to a writ,3r
In the current Ilexperes. Weekly,
claims to have wined the problem of
generating elcotriainv for common
use at a trifling cost. The electrical
generator which Mr. Edison has per-
fected, after years of toil, derives etre
power from a so-called fuel of mar-

sible for the day laborer, as well as
the millionaire, to light hie home
with electricity, and bare some sort

a day light and power may be pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to supe
ply the Deeds of any family, and the
generator ie so simple th-at any per-

to be done before the harvest he has

HUMMING OF THE WIRES.
Meteorological Changes Are Denoted
When the Music is Pronounced.
Everyone Ma noticed at times that
the telegraph lines strung along the
otreets and road,reays are singularly,
neusksal, emitting a humming Sound
that can'be clistinetly heard at a con-
reideranle distance. When telegra.phy,
was in its Infancy the yokel used to
think that the noise was made by,
messages pa,sbing over the wires.
Most eilueated people know, that this
is a silly theory, but they will be sur-
prised to find i.13at their own theory
is about as ill founded. Dr. Lasko.,
a, Polish Ineteoroloeist, declares that
the noise is not grim out by the
wind al all, but that it le caused by
