CHASING THE WALRUS.
How lie Is Harpooned and Then Finished
with Cold Lead.
Arnold Pike tells of a walrus hunt in
Bird i.ay , to the north of Spitzbergen.
The bay was full of fast ice , but eastward -
ward the sea was fairly open , and the
hunter was rowing slowly back to the
sloop when the harpooner Huthlenly laid
aside his glass and headed the boat for'
a black mass which the mirage magnified -
fied into the tize of a small hhnse , but
which was really a walrus.
"The walrus raises his head , and we
are motionless , " says Mr. Pike. "It is
intensely still , and the scraping of a
piece of ice along the boat seems like
the roar of a railway train passing overhead -
head on some bridge. Down goes the
head , and we glide forward again. The
walrus is uneasy. Again and again he
raises his head and looks around with a
quick motion , but we have the smi right
at our back , and he never notices us.
At last we are within a few feet , and
with a shout of Voek op , gamling ! '
( Wake pp , old boy ) , which breaks the
stillness like a shot , the arpooner is on
his feet , his weapon clasped in both
hands above his head.
"As the walrus plunges into the sea
the iron is hurled in his side , and with
a quick twist to prevent the head from
slipping out of the same slit that it has
cut in the thick hide the handle is
withdrawn and thrown into the boat.
No. 2 , who with a turn round the forward -
ward thwart has been paying out the
line , now checks it , as stroke and the
'hammelmand , ' facing forward , hang
back on their oars to check the rush.
Bumping and scraping the ice , we are
towed along for about five minutes and
then stop as the walrus comes to the
surface to breathe.
"In the old days the lance would finish -
ish the business , but now it is the rifle.
Ho is facing the boat. I sightforono of
his eyes and let him have both barrels
without much effect apparently , for
away we rash for two or three minutes
more , when he is up again , still facing
the boat. He seems to care no more for
the solid express bullets than if they
were peas , but he is low this time , and
as he turns to dive exposes the fatal
spot at the back of his head and ( lies. "

DISEASE GERMS IN MILK.
How They May Ito Killed by I'asteurizinfi
the Fluid.
The simplest way to pasteurize milk is
to place it first in clean bottles Tlmn
put the bottles into a large kettle or
other metal receptacle. Pour cold water
into the kettlc until the water reaches
the level of the milk in the bottles.
Now close the month of each battle
with a plug of clean white cotton fiber.
Heat the kettle and contents to 155 degrees -
grees F. Then remove from the fire and
cover the whole affair snugly with a
woolen cloth to keep from cooling at
once. Leave half an hour , then take out
the bottles and keep them in running
water or in any cool place , leaving diem
still stopped with the plug of cotton.
The flexible wooden stoppers used
with some kinds of patent glass jars
would answer in place of cotton , the
object being to exclude air , dust and
germs. Be careful notto heatabovo 155
degrees , or the milk will not taste quite
right. In practice it will be fomid a
good idea to make easier the circulation
of the hot water by placing a wire
frame an inch or two in height in the
kettle beneath the bottles.
Milk carefully treated by the above
process may be warranted free from
disease germs , and it will keep sweet
about 24 hours. Many a milkman could
get up a fancy trade at advanced prices
cu milk treated in this way. For shipping -
ping milk long distances none of the
methods , except by icing , has been yet
sufficiently tested to be recommended.
