CATS AS BEER TESTERS.
Malt sg5stitutes Tried on Patient Fe-
lines 10 Determine Their In
iuriaz- Qualities.

In considering whether corn and
other substitutes used in the place OF
malt In the manufacture of beer were
directly injurious to health, Philip
Schidrowitz, appearing as an expert be-
fore the beer materials committee OF
the house Of commons, said he bad ex-
amined the effects Of residues of brew
ing sugars, and the residues of all malt
beers on cats. IN some Of the cases
where residuts of brewing sugars were
administered to cats, either actual vom-
iting Or retching was caused within
from half an hour to an hour, and IA
two cases slight ataxia was produced.
Seven experiments were conducted
with the residues Of all-nalt beers, the
cats having been from IS to 20 hours
without food. The substances were in
troduced into the stomach in the after
noon OF one day, and the next morning
ali the eats were found 10 be quite nor
mai, no symptoms OF any kind having
been observed.
The cat was chosen for these expert
ments for two reasons, says the ST
Louis Republic First, because # is
a carnivorous srsrpal. and, secondly. be
cause NJ ts extremely resistant, the La4-
tor characteristics rendering IT prob
abfa that the effects following the ad-
mtnistration Of the residues were nom
inal and not maximal. He thought that
further investigation IN this direction
was necessary.

EARLY POSTAL SYSTEMS.
Rome Had the Des. Organised sys-
ten OF Delivery of All the An
Client States.

We find the first recorded postal sys-
tenn in the Persian empire under Cyrus
the Elder; but It is clear Chat Rome Of
all the ancient states possessed the best
organized system OF transmitting let
tiers through its numerous provinces.
All along the great Roman roads houses
we're erected at distance of five or SIX
miles from each other At each ot these
stations 20 horses were constantly kept
Gnd by the help Of relays it was easy to
travel 100 miles in a day.
These services were intended for the
state only, il being imperative to secure
the rapid interchange Of official com
muntcations. IN the time of Julius
Caesar the system was so well organized
that of two letters the great soldier
wrote from Britain to Cicero at Rome,
the one reached It's destination In 26
and the other In g8 days. Private citi-
zens had to trust to the services of slaves
and il is not until the end OF the third
century that we hear of the establish
ment of postal system for private per
sons by Emperor Docletian, but how
long this system remained history does
not SAY.
