 Products in Connecticut Increases.
 Washington, Nov. 1S.-Dr. Edward H.
 Jenkins, an agricultural chemist vice.
 director of the Connecticut agricultural experiment station and for the last four years in charge of the examination of food products under state law, told the United States committee on manu- factures yesterday of his work in ana lyzing the food offered for sale in the Connecticut markets and declared that the general adulteration of food pro- ducts had increased with the business competition and the demand for cheap wares.
 pr. Jenkins said he found meats. poultry and fish preserved with borax. More than half of the jellies examined were made of glucose and starch paste, colored with artificial coloring, fa- vored with artificial favoring and pre- served with salicylic acid. The cheap CT grades of coffee were found to con- tain a large proportion of Canada peas, pea pellets, wheat middlings and chicory.
 pr. Jenkins presented a number of bottles containing the coffee adulter- ants and imitation coffee beans, adul- terated mustard which was 20 per cent plaster of paris, pepper that was 75 per cent. charcoal, sawdust and flour, and cayenne pepper that was less than 10 per cent. pure pepper. Tomato catsup, the witness said, was made from the cores of tomatoes artificially colored and preserved with salicylic acid. Of thirty samples of olive oil twenty-six were adulterated with cot tonseed oil. Of forty samples of beer tasted eleven contained salicylic acid, while of seven samples of ale six were pure.
 Speaking of the dyes used in temper ance drinks, pr. Jenkins said that ex- perments had shown that one glass of raspberry soda had sufficient aniline dye to color piece of flannel five inches square.

with their California purchase that
they have just signed contract for a

"The sudden awakening which is
taking place in China and Japan is
truly wonderful. These people are be-
ginning to appreciate our luxuries.
They are an acute and Initiative race
and are able to copy our products very
closely. For many years to come these
two countries will furnish' market
for the exports of Europe and the
United States. Then at later day
these two countries will not only do
their own manufacturing. but they
will likewise become exporters. A
terrific contest will ensue On the one
side will be great horde of poorly
paid slaves, working and subsisting

by the best of modern machinery, will
be the highly paid labor Of the civiliz-

labor, intelligent, educated and well
directed, will win every time.

her place. Recently we have seen a

have sent over $4,000 tons of rails to

with English manufacturers. Russia
needed 100 locomotives, and bids were
asked to supply them. Belgium par
ties bid lower than the EGglishmen
and agreed to supply the locomotives
within is months. An American firm
found they could do it in seven months
and at a lower figure than any one
