a YALE TREASURE FORGOTTEN.
Prof. Mnrsh's Collection of Petriaed
Roots Found by u Workman,

Roots Found by II Workman.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 9.-In rum
maging about vault in the cellar of the
Peabody Museum yesterday a workman
came across collection of specimens of
petrifed vegetation, which are regarded
as invaluable by Yale's experts and which,
although purchased nearly half a century
ago, were lost sight of for most of that
time. The find consists Of about six hun
dred specimens of the roots of peculiar
kind of tree, scientifically named "Cy-
cads.'' They were discovered in a pit in
Maryland by man named Tyson in 1859.
At that time Prof. Marsh, Yales geograph-
zeal expert, now dead, went to Maryland
and made an exhaustive research as to
the Cycads which resulted in their pur-
chase by the university.
They were forwarded here and stored in
a vault in the Yale treasury, so great were
they valued. At that time they opened
up a new field in the study OF prehistoric
vegetation. and 1t was by close personal
study Of these specimens that Prof. Marsh
gained the knowledge Of the subject by
which he became its foremost exponent
and authority. When the Peabody Mu-
scum was completed in 1875 the Cycads
were stored there in vault in the cellar
and a short time after their change of
location they were lost sight of. This
was due to the fact that Prof. Marsh had
sole access to them, and the secret of
their whereabouts died with him last year.
In view of the fact that the British
Museum possesses the only other collec-
lions of the particular specimen of Cy-
cads. and that small one, the Yale ex-
perts regard this as the most complete
and valuable one in the world and steps
will be Immediately taken to open up a
course of study in this line.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of Department.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-Hostilities
against the bogus butter men are about to
be resumed by the State authorities Or
ders have been received from Harrisburg
by the Philadelphia attorneys and agents
Of the Dairy and Food Commission to be-
gin crusade against the hotels, restau-
rants, and boarding houses using oleo-
margarine without complying with the
State laws governing such cases. The
local agents and the Pure Butter Pro-
tective Association reported to the depart
ment at Harrisburg large number Of
such cases several months ago.
For various reasons the prosecutions
were deferred at that time, but now these
offenders are to be brought before the
courts. Attorneys Charles L. Brown and
Charles E. Bartlett yesterday received or
ders from Secretary Hamilton to make
vigorous onslaught on these violators Of
the oleomargarine law, and in obedience
to these instructions the agents Of the
department, were hastily summoned and
the evidence at hand carefully gone over.
AS result there will be number Of
warrants issued today and arrests made
as speedily as possible. ~.

EDISON PATENTS EXPIRE,
No More Royalties ON Certain Light
and Dynamo Devices.

No More Royalties ON Certain Light
and Dynamo Devices.
NEW YORK, June 9-Seven important
patents of Thomas A. Edison expired and
became public property this week. Mil
them for the various corporations that
have operated upon the Edison system,
and millions of dollars will continue to
be made out Of them. This week the
general public stepped into its inheri-
lance from the inventor.
Four of the patents which have. ex-
pired were in the field Of electric light
ing, and one was the system Of electric
lighting in which the main current car
ried continuous current of high Ten
sion. connected with consumption OF cir
cult low tension and the Transmission de-
vices in multiple arc, together with an
intermediate induction apparatus for re-
ducing the tension Of the current.
The other three patents in electric
lighting which have expired were for
the perfecting of the incandescent lamp.
One made a vacuum Of the bulb. another
made glow lamp by introducing vola-
tile carbon Of silicon compound which de-
creased the resistance of the carbon in the
bulb and the third exhausted the bulb
and provided the lamp with an atmosphere
of pure nitrogen.
The three patents of Edison bearing
upon dynamos which have expired were:
First, the invention which has the we'll
known movable commutator brushes,
with hand-operated adjustment devices
therefor; second, that which claimed the
with the dynamo field magnet
coils; third, a dynamo regulator.

Twenty nine years ago in May, 1871, q
trial was made by Major Bell. Commission
er Of Subsistence. United States Army, at
the Government bakeries. in Washington,
at the request OF George Walker and of
Mr.. Noerr, President of the Bakers Asso-
citation of Washington.
The summary OF Major Bells report is as
follows: sls
Average weight OF -four for each barrel.
1924 pounds; average weight of bread
for each barrel of 1924 pounds baked,
25666 pounds. Under the supposition that
the bread should weigh one pound thirteen
hours after, as seen above it was over;
being yield of 1916 per cent.
During the late war the Subsistence De-
partment had In this city and in Alex
andria. Va. bakeries capable of turning
out daily. at each place. 100000 twenty
two-ounce rations of bread They had
also at Fort Runyon, Chain Bridge,
Giesooro. and several adjacent points,
oranch bakeries connected with the main
ones. capable in the whole of making
i'ooo pounds OF flour into fresh bread
daily. 1t was not unfrequently all three
were taxed to their full capacity. While
in use series of detailed reports of their
operations. showing their results were
made. These reports were carefully ex-
amined shortly after the close of most
Of the bakeries and the average yield of
flour found to be Bill per cent. Much,
however, was due to the thoroughness
and intelligence Of the Government in
spector at that time.
Prof. Richardson some years ago gave
some experiments TO show how the Moisture
of the atmosphere affects the weight of
flour, and though he gives no experiments
as to bread. II is self-evident that humid
or dry atmosphere will affect 1t. though
not to the same extent. On March %. 1880,
samples of flour were weighed. One. weigh
GU $50 pouuus- at tne same TIME the next
day the flour which had not been moved
or touched weightd 1855 pounds. Another
sample rose from 102 to 107, but a change
of weather having occurred, these samples
OF flour fell in weight to about their origi- |
nal weight. 1t is said in Mr.. Richardson's |
report that the barrels of -four in London |
196 pounds. makes about 270 pounds OF |
dough and that If # is poor flour it would |
take up less water. The practice of bak- |
ers used to be to add SO TO the cost of the |
barrel for the labor and to divide the |
dough into the number of loaves necessary |
to repay that sum.
