' PROMISES MUCHi- Experiment in Progress at the College : Making Canned Cheese- An experiment nlW in progress at the college may turn out to be of vital importance in the -' cheese industry. " The work is as yet far from finished, but results already attained seem to indicate that the outcome may ? be " favorable - The proposition is to ripen cheese in tin cans, hermetically sealed. Cheese makers have always held that this could not be done, and the manu facture for this reasonhas gone along in the same old way : decade after decade , without advance or improvement. ' Cans of cheese, sealed tip five "weeks ago, and open ed at ; the - college two days ago, showed a cheese content of unusual ly high Quality, its age considered. The texture was friable, instead of tough and waxy, as is usually the case, and the flavor was perfect. All who have sampled the product pro nounce it of i the finest quality. Among the latter was State Food and Dairy Commissioner -Bailey, who aonfessed himself astonished at the result. - . ' 5 : 1 The experiment is the work of Prof. Pernot of the bacteriological department.- It was , undertaken six weeks aeo. The ; problem of how to produce cheese of a uni form flavor has long been a ' prob lem among cheese experts. It has been attempted in many:; laborator ties, always without 'result. The present covering of the- packages admits '-ail to the content, ' - and by this means the ' organisms which control the flavor are admitted. It was largely in the effort to - solve the flavor problem, that' Prof. - Per not undertook the v experiment. .,'Tin cans of .yarious ; sizes from one to five pounds are used. They are first coated inside with p(ara fine to prevent tainting from the tin.' . The .curd at tbe time when; it is ready Sot the cheese press is tak? en direct from . the vats, ; the . cans are tightly filled with it, put under good pressure in the cheese press and 'allowed to remain over ; night. Then the cover is soldered on, and the can is laid aside for future use. It is not necessary to handle 1 them agiin until ; they are . placed on market. Under the old method constant handling to prevent mjuld and evaporation is necessary. . -So far, but two cans have . been opened. , - Each of these was iden tical in content. There ,was no rind, which is so objectionable in the case of the cheese made by ex isting methods. .On the contrary every part i of - the cheese: was the same. Evaporation, which is a large source of waste under the present method, is impossible , jas the can prevents, and a . pound of curd yields a pound of cheese, even though tbe package: be shipped around the world. Of mould, which causes much annoyance and waste in the old method, : there was none, the i air-tight : condition of the content effectually vprevent ing it. - , , r il-v- , i-r ' .. If the experiment ends as ' suc cessfully " as the progress V so far promises, a large influence will be exerted by the discovery in the manufacture and sale , of. cheese. The outcome will be ;watched with interest. ' ' .. ' " .'

An unusual sight was in evi dence on the streets Thursday af ternoon. It was a man who, with both legs off near the knee and both arms gone below the elbow, is able to walk about, to dress, him self,, to feed himself, to write and to do many other surprising stunts. Most of the time; on the streets a curious crowd stood . about him, watching his maneuvers and lis tening to his talk.-- 'He J wore two suits of :' clothes for the purpose, and occasionally for a '? fee, removed the outer suit, putting it on :gain, to show how dexterously he could do such things His operations were a marvel to those who looked on. ;; He considers himself a novel ty, and" makes his way by . ex hibition of his skill in doing things without either : hands or legs. Maimed as he is, there is no doubt that he can button and ; unbutton his suspenders much quicker ; than Mayor Woodcock . could- do it. :.i His name is Al J.' Murphy, and he has a story. The latter is told in a little pamphlet that he sells at 10 cents per copy, and for which be, has a considerable 1 sale.'" Jan uary 11th, 1888, he -was v caught in a terrible blizzard that swepti ov er the middle west, leaving a track of desolation : from Nebraska to Manitoba. -V He was enroute 'to the home of his brother in the ' latter province. The storm raged from the 1 ith to the ith, and Murphy fought his way in it for 36 hours. At the end of 12 hours his feet ' be came frozen and he was obliged to crawl on his knees and elbows dur ing the test of ! the " , time to keep from freezing. ! He finally reached his brother's home, more dead than alive, and. a few days later the am putation of all his members became necessary. ; : v.' ' ; Shoe Shop Movgd.
