WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The Office Of
admiral is such rare one that many
people wonder what ara the duties coni
neeted with 1t. That is a question
which no one can answer until Admiral
Dewey makes his choice. The naval
regulations do not prescribe the duties
OF an admiral. The functions Of COM
mander-ln-ehief are fully set forth, but
this might apply TO a rear admiral or 2
commodore. as well as to an admiral.

would be much upon the sea. In the
case Of FaFragut, he was allowed to
choose for himself, and ne went upon
an extended cruise. Admiral Potter
elected to take shore duty, and he was
connected with the navy department in
an advisory capacity.
After the popular enthusiasm. over
the return of Admiral Dewey has re-
ceded to something like sensible bounds
and he is allowed to have a few min

one TO decide what are the duties Of an
aAmiral. His choice will. of course, be

His frst real battle was when the
Essex fought the Phoebe and the
charub in the harbor of Valparaiso. in
March. 1914. The battle was one OF the
hardest of the war. and Farragut con-
Quoted himself like the hero that he
was. On his return he was sent to
school at Chester, Pa. but in 1915 he
sailed for the Mediterranean in the old
Independence as aid to Captain william
N. Crane. but the Vessel arrived too late
TO take part in the Aiserine war
The life OF Farragut from that time
up to the opening Of the civil war was
full Of Incident and adventure. He
spent most Of his time on the sea. and
was promoted through all the success
slve grades to commodore. He was
sent to eGtabllSh navy yard on the
Pacific coast. and Mare Island is the
result Of four years spent there. He
was present during some Of the opera
lions of the Mexican war, but did not
take any active part. This Farragnt

FarrngIt was the hrBt man to re-
ceive this high honor. He was the
closest approach to the type Of the old
style sailor. The thread of his life is
closely interviewed with that Of Porter,
for he was adopted by old Commodore
Porter at the age Of nine.
David Glasgow Farragut was born
near Knoxville, Tenn. July 5. 1901. He
could trace his ancestry back to the
Middle Ages. but he was of Spanish de-
scent. Don Pedro Farragut served un-
der James l., Of Aragon, in the cam
uaign against the MoorE when they
were expelled from MaJorca and valen-
ella. Young Farragut removed with his
fnther and mother TO Louisiana, where
his mother died in 1908 Of yellow fever.
sailing Master David Porter died and
was buried the same day as Mrs. Farra-
gut. The Circumstance led TO strong
friendship between the two families,
and when Commodore Porter succeed
cd his father at the station Of New
orleans, he made o proposition to adopt
young David Farragut
he accompanied Commodore Porter
north. and received an appointment as
midshIpmon in the navy in December.
1910. When the war broke out with
England IN 1917. Farragut went to sea
in the Essex, which was commanded by
Commodore Portc.. The Essex was
very active and captured a number of
prizes, and the young MILDLY distin-
Ruished himself by discovering and
frustrating a muHny among the prison
ers. The Essex then went TO Joln Balm
bridges squadron in the West Indies.
but failed to ind It, and pursued NS
course around Cape Horn. Several
vessels were captured on the way, and
Farragut, only a lad of twelve. was
made prize master of one OF them, The
captain was belligerent. and refused to
obey the lad, but he soon discovered
that he had a man TO deal with.

Most of the horses slaughtered in this
country have come from California and
Washington. At least, the Strengthening
establishments are there. and the horses
are drawn from the country around. Dur
ing the last year or so the industry has
fallen off considerably, on account of the
increased value Of horses caused by the
war. When I was in California four years
ago, l saw a herd of about 1900 horses
sold at IS a head. They were all good
horses, three-yeaT-olds, sound, and we'll

Washington, Oct. 1L-The chemistry di-

meat, to ascertain whether there is any
way to distinguish between that article
