Practically all the standard makes of machines sold in this province, the cheaper ones as well as the more expensive, are giving good satisfaction in the hands of a great many dairymean, But all machines are some] what complicated, and somewhat delicate of adjustment, so that to be successful the operator must exercise some mechanical ability, and strict care and attention to the needs of in- dividual cows, Without these the milking machine bas always proved i & failure. It can hardly be said thst the machine will get as much milk from the cows as good hand milking, but properly handled, it will give better results than the average hand- milking, and there is no doubt of its being a great economiser of labor and time." The machine has its place on the farms of dairymen who milk more than ten cows, it being doubt~ ful economy to invest so much for a smaller herd, June is the swarming month and BORIS, pete ae oc . ween 8 2: of the month, depend- season and the latitude. -- @ THE SCIENCE OF "SMELL" Prof, A pens Asks If It Can Be Measured. Have you an ambition to found a new science? Why not measure a smell? Can you teil whether one spiell is just twice as strong as an- her? It is obvious that we have very many different kinds of smells, from the odor of violets down to asafetida, but until you can measure their likenesses and differences you can have no seience of odor. In the first place we have to define un odor. Is It an emanation of ma- terial particles into the air or is it @& form of vibration, like sound. If you can decide that question, yeu will have the starting point for an entirely new investigation. If odor is an emanation, it could he weighed; if it is a vibration, it could be we- flegted from a mirror. Light and sound aad heat can be reflected. | have even warmed my hands at the reflection of a fire in a mirror of pol- ished metal, Thet a cultivation of the sense of smell may be very valuable was pro. vided In the discovery of the suh- stance selenium. In experimenting with the waste products obtained in manufacturing sulphuric acid, a dis- tinguished chemist noticed the char- acteristic smell of tellurium--an odor that has no counterpart on earth or in heaven. But the smell was thb only indication of the presence of the substance; all the chemical reactions declared that there was no tellurium present in the powder. The chemist therefore concluded that, if no tellur- um was present, there must be a new substance there, as yet undis- covered, which resembled tellurium. When he had extracted from the mass all the materials that he knew were present, he found a residue, which proved to be, as he had suspected, a new elementary substance. This new substance, which was named selenium, resembled black sealing wax in appearance. In its vitreous form it was a nonconductor of efectricity, but when heated al- most to the fusing point and allowed to cool very slowly it completely changed its appearance. It acquired a dull, metallic look, like lead; and in that, its crystalline condition, it was & conductor of electricity, but of extremely high resistance. A little peneil of crystalline selen- ium, not much more than an inch long, offered as much resistance to the passage of an elebtrical current as ninety-six million miles of wire, enough to reach from here to the sun; Yet it was a conduetor.---Alex~ ander Grabam Bell in the Youth's Companion.. ---------- % Argentine's Most Interesting City.

One Captain Cas- tillo, says a writer 'in the March Wide Warld Magazine, founded the city as far back as 1568, but it was entirely destroyed by an earthquake in 1861. Ruins of some of its ancient churches still exist, and very pathetic to look at are these relics. Unfortunately for Mendoza, it is always subject to earthquakes, and these visitations, (which generally come three or four "times in the year, never fall to cause the inhabitants the greatest terror. Owing to its predisposition to the natural phenomana, the new city Is built with houses of one stery only. The earthquake which occurred on the Ash Wednesday of 1904 was par- ticularly severe. The disaster hup- pened * after sunset, . when the churches were filled with worship- pers. Thirteen tho d persons per- ished, and out of the whole popula- tion only sixtéen hundred escaped.
