A Philadelphia "bacteriologist believes he has solved the problem of the sanitary delivery of milk by the invention of a paper milk-bottle which can bo sterilised, hermetically sealed, and made so cheaply that, it need be used but once. The bottle is conical in .shape, made of pulp paper, and - saturated with paraffin by being dipped in that substance at the boiling-point of water, which sterilises it. Hie sterile bottles and sterile caps are packed in nests and wrapped in a tigh. r/'ckage.
