the samples of milk examined either
have water added to them or are
adulterated in a more or less iniuri-

them, 80 had been SKINNED, three

ton of the remainder if this is the
verdict on those termed good" But
perhaps the climax of this kind of
fraud is reached in the egg trade.
Eggs are colored red with, the aid of
pigments. which are frequently poi
sonous and are sometimes derived
from coal. This Is, however, by no
means the worst. Artificial eggs are
constructed inside empty eggshelIs
out of gelatine and inferior fats, coll
ored up with saffron, turmerjc and
chrome yellow. Can any further de-
velopment be possible in this indus

highly respectable writer's who have

Of a superior officer whose eccentrici-
ties have often provoked much amuse-
ment among members Of the force and
his acquaintance.
Before the public lighting commits

were sent to each of the stations, with
the request that they be returned with
the blanks properly filed out, desig-
mating the needs Of the precinct in the
line of street illumination. The officer
aforementioned turned the slips over
to his day squad, with solemn instruc-
tions to make notes on the poorly-light-
ed districts and to report accordingly.
OF course the day squad had no oppor-
tunity of observing the dark places and
reporting intelligently upon them, so
no slips were turned I'm.

Bacterial Origin OF sourxx.

AT the annual meeting of the Rus
sion institute of experimental medi-
cine Pasteur institute), Prof. Levin
read q paper on the bacterial origin
of scUIrvy. No less than 500, 900 scurvy
patients were registered last year in
the provinces which had suffered from
famine. Having established the cpl.
demfcal character of scurvy by the
last few years observations, Prof.
Levin eventually obtained pure cul-
lures of the bacteria of scurvy. They
are similar to diplococci. and belong
to the group of bacteria which are
we'll known as the cause of chicken
cholera. According to Prof Levin,
scurvy would thus appear to be a
chronic form of this latter disease

French engineers have. lately made
successful tests of wireless telegraphy
between the lofty observatories on
the crown of Mont Blanc and the Val

that the absence OF moisture IN the
frozen surface might interfere with

system in Chamonix were at work. At
such times the wireless messages
