Peculiar Malady Among Squirrels.

Relief from the squirrel pest, which
has threatened to utterly ruin tho
farmers of tho southern and south
eastern part of Whitman County, in
Eastern Washington, seems to be at
hand. Recent repor Is from different
points of the afflicted district are to
tho effect that instead of the immense
increase in numbers which had been
predicted from the early appearance
of the squirrels, there is marked de-
crease over last year. amounting in
some instances almost to their extinc.
ton.
The cause is not thoroughly under
stood, but is believed to be the preva-
lence among them Of fateful OPT
zootic.
At several places around Penewawa
they arc reported to be dying in ap.
preciable numbers. and examination
has shown the squirrels to be covered
with scabs. A. l.. Daniels, living
near Penewawa, says the animals in
his neighborhood no longer run nim-
bly, about, and in many instances drag
their hind parts. In fact, they are SO
badly used up that man can walk up
to them. George Smith reports a
similar condition in his neighbor.

ution in the numbers OF the squirrels
has been noticed, though the cause has
not been determined. Portland (Ore-

HORSE MEAT WAR i'm PARIS.
Amusing Complications from Usins

Amusing Complications from Ualns
Fiesh In saueaucs.
An amusing warfare has been cur,
rled on in Paris between the Govern.
ment chemists and tho makers Of sau,
sages In which horsefesh has been
used.
Some time ago tho Butchers Asso.
citation OF Paris strongly advocated O
law rendering it compulsory to deslg.
nate by a label or otherwise all sau-
sages composed of horsehesh or in
which horseflesh 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
violators OF law It is necessary to
detect the violation and also to show
proof of 1t. In the present state OF
scientific knowledge 1t is 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 IL
the meat We're trcate with iodated
water reddish-brown reaction would
be apparent IL horsefesh We're present.
Pork or beef does give this peculiar
tinge. The pork butchers rejoiced and
prepared to push the wished-for legis.
lation.
The horsemcat men had n card up
their sleeves, however, and commenced
adding II little -four to their sausage
meat. When the lodnted water was
applied contact with the starch of tho
-four Immediately produced a brilliant
blue, which effectually masked all
traces of any other color. This blue, of
course. would point to tho likelihood OF
horsemeat being present, but 1t could
not be sworn to. Surprising tho meat
to be pure beef and tho flour added,
the blue would be the same when tho
test was applied.
The chemists again went to work
and discovered that If the starch WINS

quent filtration, and the residue treat
ed with two or three chemicals, tho
horscmeat would be detected. SO fur
tho victory rests with the chemists, and
the law will probably DO passed unless

such rs these the experience is holt

who return to town from tho woods or

classes OF dwellers under the hat arc

For tho fist, one charm is that it is
