CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The average duration Of place in the
Cabinet is only two and half years, but
the number of changes In ths present
Cabinet has been unusual. When Presi-
dent Mckinley entered Office he formed
his Cabinet as follows:
Secretary Of State-John Sherman,
Ohio.
Secretary Of the Treasury-Lyman
J. Gage, Illinois.
Secretary of War-R. A. Alger, Michi-
gan.
Secretary Of the Navy-John D. Long,
Attorney-G General-Joh ". Griggs, New
Jersey.
Postmaster-General-James A. Gary.
| Maryland.
Secretary of the Interior-Cornelius N
Bliss, New York.
Secretary of Agriculture-James Will
son, Iowa.
The Secretary of State has been changed
| twice, the Secretary Of War, Postmaster
General and Secretary Of the Interior eacf
| once, making six changes among nine meT
in two years and five months.

| Mrs Mckinley continues in poor health
| She is not necessarily confined to her room
| ingS, when the weather. was favorable
she has been induced 10 take short rides
But disposition to avoid much exertion is
noticeable. Most of the time is spent on a
couch or in an easy-chair. The President
makes frequent visits to the room, and
spends as many hours there as possible
In few days the President expects to take
his wife away for a trip, which he hopes
will do her good. They will go to Lake
| Champlain, or some quiet resort like that,
and will be absent from Washington for at
| least two weeks. On their way back they
may stop at Long Branch and pay the
promised visit to Vice-President Hobart.
The exact spot to be visited has not been
decided upon, but negotiations have been
opened on the subject. Another place
spoken of for the Presidents visit is one of
the quiet resorts in the Thousand Islands.
While the President has not announced
an abandonment Of the projected Western
trip, it is now thought that he will not get
far west this year. He has positive en-
gagement to visit Chicago in October, but
would not remain long on this trip. 1t is
said that Mrs. McKin!ey's health, unless
there is great improvement, would not
permit her going on an extended visit.

The Manufacture OF Small.Arms.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Will you

small-arns made in the Confederate States
during the war?
2. When did the United States Govern,
ment first manufacture small-arms. and al
what place? D. A. PITCHEE.
II. The rebels lacked the necessary
mechanical skill and the machinery to dc
anything of Importance in the way OF
manufacturing small-arms. There were

from the stock which Secretary of War

Everything in the shape of firearm was
gathered up, and those that were unser-
yiceable sent back for repair.
2. The Government began manufacture
ing muskets in 1895 at Springfield, Mass,
copying the French muskets, with which
the most of our troops were armed toward
the close of the Revolution. The works
there have since been continually enlarged

FOOD FRoM NEW SOURCES.
Meat Extracts Made from Flesh o! Sharks and
Whales.

The notion OF making meat EXTRACTS
on a commercial scale from the flesh of
sharks and whales is SO extremely novel
that exceptional interest attaches to study
which the United States Fish Commission
has been making of this subject. Several
factories have recently been established in
Europe for this purpose, and already their
products are coming on the market in an
appetizing shape. Indeed, it is asserted
that in taste they closely resemble the
well-known beef preparations, having no
flavor of fish whatever, and that they af-
ford an excellent basis for soups. In Aber-
deem the Normal company is utilizing in
this way large quantities OF whale meat,
which hitherto has gone to waste.
In Sweden they are making nutritious
extracts from sharks flesh, which is
chopped up into very small pieces and
mixture having the consistency of thin
Cruel. From it the liquor is drawn off, and
the oil which the latter contains is re-
moved by passing it through centrifugal
apparatus, after which it is boiled and
filtered, the clear fluid thus obtained being
evaporated in vacuum until it reaches
the consistency of molasSeS. Salt for fla
voring and sugar for preserving are added,
the product being put up finally in sealed
jars.
Similar methods are employed in the man
ufacture of whale-meat extracts, which
are said to be indistinguishable from those
of Liebig. OF course, "A whale is as much
mammal as an OK, which might be sup
posed to modify the problem, but there
does not seem to be any great difference
between flesh and fish in respect to chem
ical composition, and the concentrated es-
sence of shark, packed in porcelain pots, is
to all intents and purposes meatstuff. 1t
has all the aromatic flavor of meat eX-
tract, and can be made much more cheap
ly. At q certain point in the process of
extraction all fishy flavor disappears. Shark
extract is available for all the purposes
that beef extract is good for, and it will
keep indefinitely.
