TESTIMONY OF CHARLES F. CHANDLER. 77 



spot ; I have added considerably to my information since that time ; 

 if you say that is there, I admit it. 



Q. Now you base your faith on the instrument simply because 

 you do not know that such a thing ever occurred ? A. No, sir ; 

 even though I did know that it occurred, it would occur on such 

 rare occasions, and under such unusual conditions, that it could not 

 influence the use of the instrument in New York city. 



Q. In the Kneib case, were you not asked by me the question : 

 " You base your faith on the instrument simply because you do not 

 know that such a thing ever occurred " ? and did you not answer, 

 "Yes, sir; in this part of the world"? A. I think very probably I 

 did. 



Q. Do you concede the correctness of that ? A. I concede the 

 correctness of your quotation. 



Q. Dr. Chandler, is ice sometimes added to milk to preserve it 

 during transportation ? 



(Objected to as irrelevant.) 



The COURT With reference to the second count I would rule 

 the evidence out, but under the first count it appears to me it is 

 proper. 



COUNSEL We offer it now simply under the first count. 



The COURT It is excluded. 



COUNSEL Note an exception. 



Q. Doctor, if ice is placed in milk at a temperature above the 

 freezing point 



(Objected to ; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. Doctor, what is the specific gravity of whey ? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. What is the specific gravity of buttermilk ? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. Is buttermilk a healthy article of diet ? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. Doctor, the lactometers in use in Europe, are they con- 

 structed with the specific gravity of 1.029 as the lowest standard of 

 pure milk? A. As far as I know, they are; but in Paris no milk is 

 allowed to be sold below 1.030, I am informed, and I suppose they 

 may range their lactometer with the standard of 1.030 ; I am not 

 sure, however.
