The secretary gives a table showing naval
construction going on abroad, as compared
with that in the United States. From this
it appears that only Italy and Japan laid

the present year, and that Italy alone had
less tonnage under construction. The total
tonnage under construction is: England,

1 ERNEST BAUER, an extensive poultry
raiser of Cofeyville, Kan, having read
in an agricultural Journal that boracic
acid would preserve chicken meat al
most indefinitely, assumed that the
chemical should be mixed with the
feed of the fowls and given to them to
eat. He tried the experiment, with
the result that 762 of his 500 chickens
died within "a hours. He sued the ed
itor of the paper, but the court held
that any man Of ordinary in tellige
should have known better than to try
to preserve the flesh Of living fowls by
means Of chemicals. ..8.s5
