is OUR FRUIT INFECTED?
Secretary Wilson Collecting All In.
formation on the Subject.
Anxious to Know If Germany Is JUS
titled in Excluding Our Products
-Pernicious Scale and the
Havoc 1t Has Wrought.

Secretary Wilson has taken steps for
the collection of all information OBJ
tainab,e in the department Of agricul-
ture bearing on the shipment of fresh
fruit to the German empire. This is
preliminary to any action which may
be found necessary after full official in
formation as to the scope of the decree
of prohibition is obtained.
In the absence of much information
the secretary manifests a disinclina-
ton to talk about the matter for pub
LEGATION. When full data is ait hand he
will probably direct an investigation
into the question of the shipment of
fruit, and the danger, if any, which eS-
lists of its being infected with pests
that will do harm after they are fully
developed. In connection with the cur
rent discussion of Prussia's action
some reference has been made to what
is knowna at San Jose as pernicious scale,
pest said to have been imported into
California from abroad. There is per-
haps no insect capable of causing
greater damage to fruit interests in
the United States, or perhaps in the
world, than this insect. Outside of the
| occur in Australia, Chilli and Hawaii,
and the inference is that it was intro
duced here from one of those countries.
The spread of the scale from the point
Of original infection in the San Jose
valley was somewhat rapid, its areas
Increasing in every direction, but more
rapidly toward the west and north.
Afterwards it spread through Cali
fornia ard Oregon to Washington, Ida
no, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico, and
later it manifested itself in Virginia,
| Maryland, Indiana, Pennsylvania and
other places in the east. The pest is
said to spread relentlessly and steadily
over all deciduous fruit trees-trunls,
limbs, foliage and fruit. 1t is only a
question of two or three years before
the death of the plant attacked is
brought about, and the possibility OF
injury, which from experience with 9th.
er scale enemies of deciduous plants
might be easily ignored or thought in
significant, is soon startlingly demon
strated. The general appearance which
the scales present is of a grayish, very
slightly roughened, security deposit
| The natural rich, reddish color OF the
| young limbs of peach, pear and apple
trees is quite obscured when these
trees are thickly infested, and they
have every appearance of being coated
with ashes. Fruit severely attacked
becomes distorted, rough and pitted
frequently cracking, and may eventual
ly fall prematurely, or at least become
uamarketable. The scale is frequently
carried about on fruit, there being
cases on record where California pears
aud apples found on investigation to be-
infested with male and female scales
have been bought from fruit stalls il
various parts of the country. The prin
cipal method of the spread of thu
young lice is by means of other insects
and by birds.

BoAT-LoWERINa DEVICES.
omcial Test Made on the Cutter De,


ter at Kew York.
An important series of official tests
of boat lowering devices was conducted
in the lower New York harbor the other
day on board the United States revenue
cutter Dexter before Gen. James A..
Dumont, supervising inspector general
of the steamboat inspection service,
and board of United States superyis-
ing inspectors.
The tests We're carried out under the
orders of the secretary of the treasury.
Two boats were tried, the Raymond and
the Brown types, the latter being of a
class familiar on the great lakes.
The object aimed at in the tests was
to obtain device which could be fitted
| to all passenger steamboats, and be
counted upon to act with certainty. So
many accidents are recorded at sea
where the small boats are dashed to
| pieces against the side of the ship on
being lowered. This trouble arises in
most cases by reason of the falls not
being readily unlocked. While the sea
men are struggling to detach the blocks
a sea dashes the boat against the YES
sells side.
With proper detaching device pas
sengers and crew can be placed in the
boat before lowering. Then the in
slant the water is reached the boat is

who was in camp on the Yukon five
miles south of Five-Finger rapids. He
is wealthy pioneer of Montana, and
took with him to Alaska six men
to assist him in prospecting. He

he had opportunity of talking with

WOULD MAKE HORSE SAUSAGE
Butcher in New York Asks Health De-
partment for n Permit.

A letter was received by the health
board of New York the other day from
butcher doing business ON Avenue
A, who said he intended to make his
sausages from horse meat. He asked
for permit for horse slaughter house.
The letter will be read at meeting
of the health board. An employe OF
the health department, who had seen
the letter, said the butcher had made
a great mistake in applying for per-
init. "He might have gone ahead with
his scheme" he said. "and no one would
ever have been able to find out what
| his frankfurters were made of, unless
the consumer discovered Il stray horse
shoe mail now and then. The frank
furter is peculiar thing. The best
chemists could not tell you just what
some of them are made of. For in
stance, after horse meat has been
| ground up and rolled out in the form
of frankfurter it will stand all the
tests made by chemist and come out
ahead, no matter what experience the
chemist may have had. In its natural
state, or before it has struck the frank
furter machine, horse flesh is darker
in color than ordinary beef, and also
can be distinguished by its sweet taste.
tBut let the ordinary car horse get into
a frankfurter machine and its identity
| is completely lost" A Twenty-SiNth
street horse dealer who happened into
the criminal court building said he had
recently been approached by an East
Side butcher, who Informed him that
if the health authorities permitted the
manufacture of horse frankfurters the
price of horses would go up at least
horses in this city available at eight
dollars per head.
