THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1884,

Thomas A. Edison. Jr.. is working on a
plan for the construction Of a telephone
line between Europe and America. Re be-
heves, after numerous experiments. mat
The plan IS perfectly feasible one, and
that it can be accomplished with but one
relay station. Ia conducting the expert
ments he used 3.0D miles Of wire wound
on a spindle, and subjected the whole 20 a
heavy pressure and as nearly as possible
10 the same conditions with which a cable
has to contend. Mr.. Edison says he found
that the sound OF the voice was perfectly
clear, The transmitters and receivers be
ing so CONSTRUCTED Of course as to greatly
magnify it. Should Mr. Edison's plan
prove feasible. he is satisfied that IL will
be cheaper to talk TO Paris and London
than TO send cablesrams.

FOREIGN COUNTRIES SEND IMPURE
FOODS HERE.

National Food Law Believed to Be
Necessary to Protect Honest Mer-
chants Well as the Consumer.
Germany Sends Us Bad Coffee.
Drugs and Spices Are Extensively
AduIterated-HOw Spurious Baking

Chicago, May S.-Further advices that
the United States at present is beng used
by other countries as a dumping ground
for aduiterated products of food and drink,

Mr.. Stuart said to the committee that a
national food law was necessary in this
country TO protect honest merchants, as
well as the consumer from the adulter-
ated FOODS of foreign countries. He illus
trated the fact that Germany, Brazil and
other countries were continually, and at a
profit, exporting to the United States
goods that by special laws were barred
from sale In the country where produced.
According TO the witness the grades of
coffee which we received from Germany in

ture of dead and green berries, either of
which is not only of the poorest quality,
but unfit for consumption. The method
used in Brazil, he declared, was picking
over coffee beans keeping the best for
home use and shipping to America the
grades which were inferior.
Allen F. Murray, a druggist, declared
that the practice of adulterating drugs
and spices was growing rapidly. 1t was
usual nowadays, he said, TO inquire Of
the wholesale purchaser how much adul-
iteration he desired in goods which were
given TO the public as genuine
George Crew, a chemist, said there were
practically only two classes of baking
powder for sale. He styled these cream of
tartar and alum or phosphate. In order
to neutralize the effect of the % to 30 per
cent Of bicarbonate of soda used by many
manufacturers il was necessary 20 utilize
neany 60 per cent. of cream of tartar
About 70 per cent of anhydrous rochelle
