"Then came the terrible farmers;
Nothing OF play they knew;

With plows and sickles and fails:

And cut oil their beautiful tails!

The speed of trolley car when passing

problem, put 1t is frequently desirable to
ascertain the speed OF a car without the
assistance Of street car company. Par
tIcularly is this desirable when seeking
evidence that the cars are being run at a
higher rate OF speed than allowed by law
1t is well known that the motor gives
forth peculiar sound when the car ia
running. This sound Whittier in his
poem on The Broomstick Trainn llkeued
to the purring of a witch's cat, and il is in
this purring sound that the speed indjca-
ton lies. Whenever number of blows
or taps are delivered in regular sequence
they Will, II their frequency is great
enough, form musical note. The rea-
son Tor this Is that the car cannot rid it,

EMBARGO ON AMERICAN BEEF.

a Law Under Which This Country Can
Retaliate on Germany.
WASHINGTON, Nov. The Associated
Press announcement that the German
authorities may conclude to determine
the possibilities OF the introduction of
Texas fever into the Empire from expert
opinions of American veterinarians
which are now being translated was re-
ceived with great interest by Secretary
Morton, whose advocacy Of retaliation
by requiring a strict inspection OF Ger
man wines aud liquors has been told in
these dispatches. The Secretary has in
vestigated the questions, and finds that
authority 10 entirely exclude German
products in retaliation for discrimination
against American goods is vested in the
PRESIDENT by all existing law, law
which has been heretofore overlooked in
the discussion of the question. Sec
rotary Morton had a conference with the
President and laid the law before him. 1t
Is III the nited States Suatutes-at-Large
volume %. fitty-tirst Congress. page 25I,
chapter S39: An Act providing for an in
spectIon OF meats for expectation and
prohibiting the importation of adulter-
ated articles of food or drink, and au-
thoriZing The President to make Droca-
ton IN certain cases and for other pur-
poses.
Section 4, to which the Secretary called
the attention of both the United States
authorities and those OF the German EN-
pire reads: That whenever the President
Is satisfied that there is good reason To
believe any importation is being made or
is about To be made into the United States
from any foreign country, or of any arti
Gle used for human food or drink that is
adulterated, he (Jhe Presidenu may issue
ms no /
ton of such articles from such country
for such period CT time as he may think
necessary.
The Secretary believes this law is the
key to the situation furnishing this Gov
eminent with full power to retaliate upon
Germany tor the exclusion of our cattle,
either by the policy which he first sug-
gesteu OF requiring a strict inspection of
our wines or by stronger measures.
At the State Department the attitude of
the German Government respecting our
cattle Is regarded as the natural and
proper outcome of the strong representa-
tons made by Minister Runyon. The
negotiations had reached a point where
each Government was content to rest its
case upon questions of fact, first, whether
or not there were genuine cases Of Texas
fever among cattle imported into Ger
many from the United States, and sec
ond. whether or not the disease can be
communicated to German cattle. If, as
stated in the dispatch, the Germans have
so far receded from their first position,
justitying absolute exclusion of Ameri-
can cattle without reasonable proof upon
these important points, then the State
Department officials feel that our cattle
shippers have little to fear and that the
German Government has assumed very
liberal attitude, and one which is likely
to speedily result III the removal OF the
embargo.
