FIND EMBALMED BEEF.
Health Authorities Discover II In
New York

New York April 13.-''Embalme6
beef has been discovered in New York
it is alleged. by the health authorities,
who also claim to have discovered the
ingredients used for curing and color
ing it, They are known as "srnokaIne''
and ''preservaline." Specimens of Doth
are in the hands of the health authori-
ties. who will begin an investigation
tomorrow to ascertain to what extent
they are used.
DR.. w Runge. the veterina <ian of the
health board, while making his rounds
q few days ago. came across some beef
which looked peculiar, though there was
no bad od0r from it It was evident to
him that something had been done to
preserve the beef
a quiet investigation resulted in the
discovery that smokaIine is used to give
the beef a rich red color, while preserv-
aIine is used to take the bad odor from
tainted meat.

BRITAIN'S NEW ARM.
Artillery Will Have the Vickers-Max-
i'm Quick Firing Gun.

London. April 13-The war office has
finally decided on the VfckerS-Ma kim
quick-fring gun for the rearmament of
the horse and field artillery.
The characteristic feature of the system
is the gradual absorption Of the recoiI by
an hydraulic buffer. The rate of fire is
reckoned at twelve aimed rounds per min
ute while the weight, including mount
ing timber and forty rounds Of ammuni-
ton. is exactly thirty hundred weight
The gun in question IS regarded as in
every way equal TO the new quick-firing
gun of the French and German armies,
and inasmuch the present Quick-fring
gun of the English army has maximum
of six rounds per minute the adoption of
the VickerS-N1a kim gun Will be equivalent
TO doubling the fighting force Of the Brit
ish royal artillery.
