Timely Topics
august 90, 1897.

This week we desire to call
attention to the merits of the
well-knoWn Alaska Refrigera-
tors, which are guaranteed to
be all that is implied in the
name. Below are a few of the
principal features:
1. The Alaska is construct
ed upon strictly scientific
principles, by which low tenn
perature and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably OBJ
tanned.
2. The Alaska has pre-
served fresh meats perfectly
for three weeks in the hottest
weather.
3. The Alaska produces
better results with less ice than
any other.
4. The Alaska possesses
the only provision chamber free
from odor.
s. Between the outer and
inner walls there is an inch and
a half space filled with pure
charcoal, and experience eX-
tending over three and half
years has convinced us that
the Alaska is, without doubt,
the bestrefrigerator on the mar
ket, in construction, in power
to preserve perishable goods,
in economy Of ice, and in fact
in all points necessary to make
them tirst-class in every re-
spect.
We have them in several
sizes at from $15 to $2S, and
also keep the Alaska ice chests.

TUBERCULOSIS.


for tuberculosis. As a rule, in
deed, it is the best animals that
fail under the tuberculin test.
Their milk tests as high as any in
quality, but prevailing medical
opinion is that it contains danger
to the users. Dairymen, on the
other hand, quote medical author.
ity from abroad, 10 the effect that
milk from we'll conditioned cattle,
yielding high proportions of
richness in the lactometer, is not
likely to propagate disease in those
using it. Where doctors differ,
it is better for the public to be on
the safe side. 1t then being set
tied that the affected dairy stock
must be destroyed, the question
of whether the owners should BE-
Unidentified comes up here as
elsewhere. Examples of decisions
either way can be had abundantly
from foreign parts, so that here
the question should be decided
Independently. There ought to be
decision before the meeting of
the Legislature, for if it be in
favor of compensation the means
must be regularly appropriated.
The issue should be governed
largely by circumstances it these
can be correctly defined. How
was the infection started in these
islands? 1t must have been i'm
ported, that Is the general, but
possibly mistaken, opinion. When
and by whom? II any of the con-
demned cattle were brought here
by those who claim damages on
their account, should not the pre-
sumption be established, at the
outset, that the importers must
abide by the consequences of their
own inadvertence in getting un-
sound stockp 1t may be possible
to trace out, however although
an extremely slim chsnce-the
spread of the disease, from a
nucleus or nuclei at first exceed
ingly small, through the opera
tions of Misunderstanding from
infected individuals, the infection
Of water, forage or fodder, ETC.
going on imperceptibly for d long
period so as to entirely acquit the
present losers from blame in the
matter. Or it may be that the
disease was not imported at all
but occurred spontaneously from
natural causes, as the cognate
maladies of pneumonia and other
pulmonary affections in human
beings. Importation of the disease
from lax inspection OF stock by
the authorities would, if it could
be proved, be one of the strongest
grounds of claim for compensa-
ton. Anyway, in view of so great
prevalence of the malady as has
appeared, the required evidence
must necessarily be 30 cloudy that
it will be very hard for the owners
of the condemned stock to make
out case for compensation.
When CHAMBERS was stamped out
twelve years ego by an immense
slaughter of horses there was no
compensation. If a building is
pulled down or blown up to stay
the progress of confagration the
owner has no more right to COM
pensation than his neighbor
whose fabric has been overtaken
by the flames. The appearance
of tuberculosis in the cattle is q
disaster, and the losers by it have
universal sympathy. They
can only be compensated
at public expense, however, either
through judicial decree or legisla-
tive enactment. AS to the former,
it is for themselves to bring test
cases into the courts. If they are
