English Milk Laws.

The English pure-food authorities
are dealing strictly with offenders
against the milk laws. Mark Lane
Express mentions two recent cases.
In one the charge was that part of the
cream had been removed and the milk
sold as whole. The defendant denied
that it was either SKINNED or watered,
but was fined $50. In the other case
the use of boracic acid was charged
against several persons, and fines
ranging from s. to $50 were imposed.
One of the witnesses, Prof. Boyce of
University College, said that this sub
stance Was highly injurious no matter
how small quantity was used. He
had experimental with kittens. and
found that even a minute quantity of
boracic acid in the milk consumed by
them was harmful.

Gable Line to the Philippines.


Being in the Philippines to-day, and
owning the Hawaiians islands, the
United States naturally needs tele-
graphic communication. Gable lines
across the Pacific are being discussed.
Advocates of government line are
figuring on two routes. The southern,
by way of Honolulu from San Francis
co to Manila and Guam, would, it is
calculated, cost about $13,5OO,OO0.
1t is thought that the northern route
by way of Alaska to the Philippines,
and in addition thereto separate line
from California to Hawaii, could be
laid for about $12,OOO,OOO.
This difference in cost is largely due
to difference in length of the links. The
arguments against such route are to
be found in the great natural difficult
ties to be encountered-ice, fog and
great depths, but cable on the north
ern route could be repaired at any
time of the year on any link, except
during temporary storms. and the ca
bic ship could always find harbor
within 100 miles of any break. BY the
northern route the different stretches
vary but slightly in distance, and are
all comparatively short, none exceed
ing $50 miles, so that, in case of
break, one cable ship. if it were found
W Ill'tht GtIiilIS COulu
relay one entire stretch, the cost of
which would not amount to more than
100000.
On the southern route, with its four
great stretches of 2,2SG, 1,254, 1858,
and 1,496 miles, the cost of n break in
great depth, in case repair were pos
sible, would probably amount to sew
eral hundred thousand dollors, with the
likelihood also of a necessity for the
renewal of an entire stretch, which
would cost from $2.OOOOOO to $3,OO0,-
900.
Another consideration is the supply
of gutta percha, which has become so
scarce and its price consequently so
high that its use in construction of
long distance cables has become very
costly. Gutta percha costs 50 n pound;
rubber can be had at $1.30. For long
stretches of 1000 miles or more gutta
percha, however, is requisite as insu
lating material. while for shorter
stretches india rubber suffices.
The question of Pacific cable COM
munication will be one of the foremost
ones concerning the United States in
the first years of the twentieth century.

II It Had Been Flesh and Blood the

Mr.. West, young man from Michi-

the Armour Beef Company of Chicago,
representing the Boston division, was
in New Britain this week and in pass
Ing along the street with a customer
they had occasion to cross the tracks
OF the third-rail cars, says the South
Manchester News, The young man
and his friend were engaged in earn
est conversation at the moment, and
the New Britain man, supposing that
the stranger knew of the danger that
turks in he third rail, did not sound
note of warning until the young man
placed one foot on the third rail,
when, realizing instantly what had
occurred, he shouted to the drummer
to beware. Without knowing to what
the shout referred and thinking that
it must have alluded to an approach
Ing car or train, although he could
see neither the westerner hurried to
step across the tracks and in doing

rails. thus completing the circuit. He
stepped quickly over unharmed,

the alarm and in expectation of wit
Messing tragedy fell in swoon. The
sturdy young westerner, who had
never seen the tracks of a third-rail
train before, did not know what all
the excitement was about, and on he
ing told of what he had done his blood
began to run cold and he said that
he never experienced such a strange
sensation as came over him at that
moment. He also stated that he did
not feel the slightest electrical shoc:;
while on he tracks. The explanation
Of his almost miraculous escape was
in the fact that he had pair of cork
soles underneath the leather soles on
his shoes, and these proved to be suf-
ficiently powerful as nonconductors to
save him from the effects of the dead
ly current. He realizes that those are
the most valuable pair of shoes he
ever owned, or hopes to own, and no
doubt will keep them as an heirloom
in his family and pass them down to
his posterity. On investigation it was
found that the leather sole was burned
where it came in contact with the live
rail. The young man says that there
are no third-rail cars or trains in the
west and that, therefore, while he had
read of such things in the newspapers
the fact had never made a serious i'm
preston on his mind before. He is
not apt to forget this experience, how
ever. The young man was in town
here recently and gave the facts sub
stantially as stated to a representa-
tive of the News.

he established the first democratic pa
per in Shawneetown.
In the following year. at the age of
"a, he was elected to the legislature
from Gallatin county, of which Shaw
neetown is the county seat. There is
made his mark by advocating what was
known as the deep cut plan" with
reference to the construction of the IL
iinois and Michigan canal. The leg
islature made him a member of the
canal commission.
In 1898 he was urged for the nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor, but de-
clined, being under 80. the consttu
tional age. In 1910 he was again in
the legislature. and about this time
he aroused the ire of Theophilus w.
Smith. one of the judges of the su-
preme court, by a severe criticism on
the judiciary. Judge Smith promptly
challenged him to a duel. Young Nc
Clernand at once accepted the chal-
lenge, but friends of Judge Smith pre-
vailed upon him to reconsider his
hasty action, and by the exercise of
some diplomacy the meeting was
avoided.
In 1912 Colonel McClernand, though
scarcely past 30 years of age. was put
forward for United States senator The
other candidates were Stephen A.
Douglas and Sidney Breese, the latter
being chosen and subsequently elected.
In the following year CS43) Nc
Clernand was elected to congress and
served until 1851. While in congress
the administration found him a strong
supporter of its Mexican war policy.
Upon retiring from congress in 1851
he removed to Jacksonville. In 1856
he removed to Springfield. Here he
again drifted into politics and in 1859
he was elected to congress to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Ma
jor Il. l.. Harris In 1860 he intro
duced a bill repeating the law organ
izing the territory of Utah.
In April. 1861, at the urgent solici-
tation OF Governor Richard Yates he
led an armed volunteer force from
Springfield to Cairo and while there
intercepted number of passing steam
boats loaded with arms and ammuni-
tion intended for the confederate
forces.
He was close friend of Governor
Yates and he and the governor went to
Washington and reported to President
