136 TESTIMONY OF HENRY A. MOTT, JK. 



little further down before I made the experiment. I should imagine 

 the temperature of that was below 60. 



Q. Then to determine the temperature of milk you would use 

 your imagination, would you would you determine the temperature 

 of milk by your suppositions what do you think the temperature 

 there is ? A. I said that I would cool the milk lower than that. I 

 should judge that that was below 60 ; it was 48 and a half. 



Q. In order to get it to a temperature which would favor milk- 

 men you would cool that first still further, would you, if it was 

 milk ? A. Not a great deal. 



Q. If you would put it at 16 degrees from the 48 you would 

 have it at the freezing point ? A. Yes, sir ; when you have reached 

 a certain standard one or two degrees makes considerable difference. 



Q. At what standard does one or two degrees of temperature 

 make considerable difference ; why does it make a considerable 

 difference there ? A. Because my senses are acute enough to tell 

 the distinction. 



Q. Now why would you cool this article at 48 further in order 

 to test it properly ? A. I would like to explain. 



Q. ."We have seen that you cannot tell the temperature of a 

 fluid by guessing at it ; are your other senses, referring only to those 

 you would use in testing milk, more accurate than the sense which 

 enables you to tell the temperature ? A. I have never found any 

 defect in my senses. 



Q. "Won't you apply another of your senses, that of sight, to the 

 contents of this bottle ? 



(Showing bottle.) 



A. To a chemist's preparation? no, sir. 



Q. Have you any ground for assuming this to be a chemical 

 preparation ? A. The ground that you will not positively swear 

 that it is milk. 



Q. Have I been a witness in this case this is a fresh bottle ? 

 A. What is the question ? 



Q. Won't you apply another of your senses, that of sight, to the 

 contents of this bottle ? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained ; exception.) 



Q. Is the sense of smell of use to you in determining whether 

 a fluid is milk or not ? A. Yes, sir, when I heat the milk.
