During a series of experiments in the electric treatment of milk, Freder ick C. Lewis, assistant lecturer in the university, developed the idea of pro ducing a strong antiseptic from sea water. This, according to the Liver pool Courier, was two years ago. Since then all the disinfection and cleansing of cultures and slides in the bacteriological and pathological labo ratories at the university have been done by an electric chemical apparatus which insures a powerful disinfectant from salt water. The apparatus employed on the Aqui tania Is of course on a far larger scale than the one at the university. The principle, however, is precisely the same. There is an electrolytic cell, a reversipg switch, and some ordinary insulating electric cable. The cell stands upon a rubber mat, to insulate it, and is raised upon a low table, to enable the contents to be poured out easily. It is filled with sea water and an electric current is then turned on and a solution containing sodium hypochlorite, or available chlo rine, will be obtained. Tie solution Is useful as a sterilizer of drinking water, and on the Aquita nia it is added to the water in the swimming bath. HIS PRISON TERM TOO SHORT Californian Reveals That. He Forged Check to Get Benefit of the Prison School. Joseph Dietz, Oakland, Cal.. chauf feur, according to his own story, passed a bogus check in order to break into Sal) Quentin prison, so that he might "get an education." Recently when ho drew a sentence of 18 months from Judge Edgar T. Zook lie was sorely disappointed. "I wanted at least four years," lie told Sheriff J. J. Keating. "A man can't learn much in eighteen months. A jolt like that is just so much wasted time." Dietz explained that he had been "going crooked" for a long time, and attributed his misloings to lack of learning. "I heard all about those free schools down at San Quentin." he said, "and mado up my mind that I would like to fit myself for something better than driving a grocery wagon or an auto mobile, so I slipped over a check, ex pecting at the time to be caught." Dietz is twenty-eight years old, and has a wife, and two boys, aged four and five.

We often hear of cases-more ofter between men, but sometimes between women-whore school friends separate and marry, living their lives apart foi ton or fifteen years, only to find th( old relation just as firm as over oni meeting again. Or in certain instances friends separate, never to meet again but keep up their correspondence foi years, and the one in a far city would do just as much for the distant chum were the occasion to arise, as if their friendship had recently been close an( intimate. Friendship knows no space and n< bounds. It is an indissoluble link be tweon two human beings. And if you expect to enjoy the affection of a rea pal you must be prepared to do you share. Do not be forever demanding and expecting from your friends. Yoi can only keep alive the pure flame o; friendship by giving unselfish love and disinterested affection. Do not loo for them, but give from your heart and you will receive. That is one of the beauties of friendship. The more love you give, the more you receive But the more you demand and expect the less you get. Good pals are more precious thar diamonds or gold, for they are the rarert of all valuables. Friendship iE the salt of the earth and those whc know the joy of real friendship should do all in their power to guard and keep it, not to destroy it. How often we risk losing the affec tion of real friends for some worthless acquaintance! So often we offer in sults and snubs (sometimes uncon sciously) to those who weigh moro in friendship's scales than a thousand of the aimless flatterers who would try to make us believe they are friends. Let us learn to know our real friends and to give a heartfelt appreciation for the value of such friendship. SHALL IT BE SIMPLIFIED?

Everybody knows the flavor of or ange peel, but not everybody knows what causes that flavor. It is (1ue to the oil contained in little cells in the rind. If the peel is bent so as to strain these oil-laden cells, the oil b)ursts out, often as a visible spray and usually perceptible to our sense of smell, and often as a greasy film on the fingers. TPhe peel may be so bent as to rupture a large number'i of these ceils at one time, and to fIll the air with an oily mist, If, at the moment of bending, a lighted matcoh 1)0 ap SliedI by an assistant a dlecidled explo. s10on will follow.
