AOUlTERATEO TEAS.
Dangerous Stuff shipped From China to
the United States.


The tea-drinking millions in the
United States must have been impressed
by the recent report Of our Consul at
Annoy, China, upon the quality of some
of the tea shipped to the American
market. He told Of the extent to
which it is adulterated, and Of the
means employed to palm it off upon
American consumers. The question is
of Importance to all men and women
who quaff the Chinese beverage, for
the stuff of which our Consul speaks is
undoubtedly detrimental to health.
Some years ago we learned from an
English paper that ten million pounds
of adulterated tea held in bond in Lon
don had been condemned as unfit for
consumption, and not long afterward it
was ascertained that large quantities of
it had actually been sent to the New
York market, though the British in
spectors had declared that it was doc
tored in an evil way. Now, this is not
q thing of slight account If the teas
outlawed in London are to be shipped
mere, tuS DtOPlS ouS 1lb CIV lOtloo w DC
made aware of the fact. 50 that they
may make up their minds what to do
about it. There are some kinds of tea
exported from China that might proper
ly be labeled ''slow poison" They do
harm to those that consume them, pro-
dveing storr ach and kidney complaints,
interfering with digestion and irrita-
tingthe- nervous system. The Chinese
merchants found out long ago that it
WAS unsafe to send spurious tea to the
! british. market. but they. have been
sharp in hunting up other fields. This
yeotpfry is. next to England, the great
Ssest tea market in the world and we are
!; uot sure. as we have not the recent
.:cpinparative statistics at hand, that the
Americans are not larger tea consum-
.eiN than the English. We now import
large quantities of tea from China BY
wav of San Francisco. and it is through
that port and New York that we get
our supplies. 1t would be well for
every body to steer clear OF adulterated
tea, even though it is cheap.

DISEASES IN BOOKS.
How. Boston Will Guard Against Them
by Quarantine Measures.

How Boston Will Guard Against Them
by Quarantine Measures.
A new departure which the Boston
health authorities have made as meas
ure for preventing the spread OF dis
ease is so palpably wise that other cities
will doubtless be quick to adopt it. 1t
has long been recognized that library
books of the circulating description
were an admirable medium for convey
ing contagious and Infectious COM
plants from house to house. When
people are sick they can only amuse
themselves with reading, and no sooner
do they fall ill than the nearest library
Is drawn upon for volumes of entertain
ing fiction, etc. During their perusal,
germs of a dangerous nature, set ai1oat
by the patients breath or otherwise,
are apt to lodge between the leaves, to
be taken in by subsequent readers,
Some of these obnoxious bacilli retain
their vitality for quite a while. so that
one can never be sure when he takes
out library book that he is not making
a bid for a variety Of physical ailments
from scarlet fever to mumps. AS
partial precaution against this the Bos-
ton Board of Health will hereafter
cause the public library card in each
family where a communicable dis
ease is found to exist to be stamped,
: SO as to indicate the presence OF IN
fection or contagion there. The libra
ry will thereafter allow no books to be
taken out on this card until the trouble
is officially reported as gone. Further
more, when books are returned from
house where such disease has appeared
they will be carefully disinfected before
being reissued. This system is expect
ed to reduce the number of deaths fro1n
diphtheria and other complaints of tho
sort by an appreciate percentage an
nually; for this is the greatest reading
community in the world, and it is sup
piled with books mainly BY the public
library here, which is gigantic insti-
tuition with branches in every part Of
the city.
In other ways, too. the library board
will do its best to keep its books in
healthy condition as soon as its new
building is s-ready for occupancy. The
stack system will be used there. By
it no display at all is made of the vol
umes, which are simply placed
on iron shelves, back to back,
with just enough room between
the bookcases to make a narrow pas
sage-way. The Offices and reading
rooms will be in another part of the
building, and no heat will be admitted,
winter or summer, TO the apartments
where the books are kept Thus they
can be kept cold, with plenty Of fresh
air. Both these points are desirable,
for heat makes books decay and bad air
causes mold and rot. Being on iron
shelves they can not we'll burn. Books
of themselves can not well be set afire;
they will only smolder. 1t is likely
that the Governor of the State will call
on the militia to execute the colossal
task of transporting the 800. 900 vol
umes from the old libraryto the new
Boston Letter.

MEAS SURlNG HAY.
Rules That Will Work Well Enough When
Scales Are Not Obtainable.

There is so much difference in the
quality of hay that it is impossible to
decide the matter accurately. 1t is gen.
orally believed that 400 cubic feet in
large bay taking it right through, or
500 on long, wide deep scaffold, will
represent ton. When the hay is cut
early, is stored evenly over the NOW,
is well trodden when stored away, and
is allowed to settle two or three months
before measuring, | erhaps it will hold
out at the above figures. When grass
is allowed to stand until nearly ripe be-
fore cutting, it will occupy
nearly off not quite, twenty
five per cent. more bulk, especially on
a scatfold, than the early cut, and re-
quire about that many more cubic feet
for ton. Coarse hay, as timothy and
clover, will not weigh as heavy, bulk
for bulk, as that whichis fine like COM
mon prairie or wild hay. 1t is much
more satisfactory to both buyer and
seller to weigh the hay when possible
In estimating by measurement, null
tiply together the figures representing
the length, width and height of the
hay, and divide the product by the
number of feet in a ton. For example,
if the hay is forty feet long, sixteen
feet wide and eighteen feet from the
bottom to the top Of the NOV, and the
bulk agreed is 400 feet to the ton, the
NOW will contain 40 plus l6 plus IS
equals II, $40 cubic feet; 1920, divided
by 400 equals % tons and 320 feet or
% 10 tons. 1t would require consider
ably more than 400 cubic feet from the
top Of such a NOW for a ton; while at
the bottom it will have become packed
so solidly from the great weight above
t, that 400 cubic feet will weigh con-
siderable more than 1000 pounds -
