HORSE MEAT WAR IN PARIS.
Amusipg Complications from Using
Flesh In Snueegcs.

Flesh In snueegcs.
An amusing warfare has been car
ried on In Paris between the Govern
ment chemists and the makers of sau.
sages In which horsenesh has been
used
Some time ago the Butchers Asso.
ciatlon OF Paris strongly advocated q
law rendering 1t compulsory to desig-
nate by label or otherwise all sau-
sages composed of horsehesh or In
which horsefesh had been mixed with
other meats The authorities, while
perfectly willing to make regulations
enforcing this practice, declined to do
so on account OF the impossibility of
Furnishing offenders. To punish the
yiolators of law It is necessary to
detect the violation and also to show
proof of It. In the present state of
scientific knowledge II IL not possible
to satisfactorily determine the differ
ence between flesh of the horse and
that of any other animal when they are
both chopped fine and mixed together.
A chemist finally discovered that II
the meat were treate with iodated
water a reddish-brown reaction would
be apparent II horsefesh were present.
Pork or beef does give this peculiar
tinge. The pork butchers rejoiced and
prepared to push the wished-for legis-
lation.
The horsemeat men had a card up
their sleeves, however, and commenced
adding a little -four TO their sausage
meat When the lodated water was
applied contact with the starch of the
-four Immediately produced brilliant
blue, which effectually masked all
traces of any other color. This blue, OF
course, would point TO the likelihood of
horsemeat being present, but It could
not be sworn to. Supposlng the meat
TO be pure beef and the -four added,
the blue would be the same when the
test was applied.
The chemists again went TO work
and discovered that II the starch was
separated by maceration and subse-
Quent filtration, and the residue treat
ed with two or three chemicals, the
horsemeat would be detected. So far
the victory rests with the chemists, and
the law will probably be passed unless
the horsemeat men make another dis.
covery. In 1892 10000 horses were
slaughtered in Paris three-fourths OF
which went into sausages, so that the
