plosion occurred this morning at Peny-

AMERICAN BEEF IN ENGLAND.

The roast beef Of old England COM
mipslins its rich. steamy odors with the
mis,s Of tradition comes down to u.s.
metaphorically speaking, served up on
the pla,,ers OF history. To even read
.bout the ..barons" and ''haunehes" Of
beef placed smoking hot on the festive
board with plenty Of good stout ale for
hearty British stomachs gives one a
CHEEKY impression Of old English style
and British ssstronomical enjoyment.
Judging Of the past, however. In the
light OF present information and cireum-
stances. the Enelish people used to raise
more beef cattle than they do now, or
they only partook Of those rich barons
and launches Of roast beef on festive
occasions. In those good old times
they did not import n ounce OF fresh
beet from America. whereas now they
import il by numerous s%hiplosds. alive
or ready dressed and kept fresh in .
semi-frozen state. Very few realize the
amount OF beef thus annually shipped
from the United States to England and
to what great dimensions this traffic has
grown within the last i've or six years.

print wrong. The name being Spanish,
IL Candslsria was intended. 1t would sig.

Webster. "a festival celebrated on the

Telephones for Police Purposes.

Chicago leads the way in adopting
telephones for general police uses. EI-
perinental telephone stations have been
established at various points in one i'm

officers are kept in waiting at a central
station. Reliable others are furnished
with keys to the telephone boxes nearest
their residence. To prevent false alarms
the keys are numbered. and cannot be
withdrawn from the lcek until released
BY q key carried by the policeman on
that beat. When anything goes wrong
in a district the alarm 10 sent to the Gen.
