IMMENSE TURTLE.
Live Specimen Of Rare Species to BE
Sent to the Exposition at
Buffalo.

What is said to be the largest turtle
ever shipped to the Smithsonian In
stitution is there now awaiting ship
ment to Buffalo, where it will crown
the successful collection of tortoise
and fish life now ready for the open
ing. This alligator snapper measures
FIVE feet from tip to tip, and is the
largest ever caught, exceeding in size
the well-known Florida gopher. The
average length of the shell of this
family of turtle is three feet, and, as
it is fast becoming extinct, this rare
specimen is greatly priced by the in
stitution.

WEED DESTRUCTION.
Successful Experiment by Agricul-
tural Department.
Found That Obnoxious GrOwths in
Fields of Growing Grain and City
Lawns Can Be Exterminated
by Chemicals.

Secretary Wilson recently institute
ed most interesting series of eX-
periments in weed destruction in
fields of growing grain and city
lawns by the use of certain chem
icals. Among the chemicals tested
were salt, copper, sulphate, kerosene,
liver-of-sulphur, carbollc acid, arsenate
of soda, and two commercial weed
killers, the active principle of which
apparently was arsenic.
The weeds experimental upon were
plantains, dandelion, chicory, rag
weed, knotweed and various undesir-
able grasses. All the chemicals were
applied in solution, except the salt,
and it was found that if applied in
large quantities it would kill out all
the weeds. However, arsenate of
soda and the carbolic acid solution
(crude carbolic acid, one pint in four
pints of water, applied at the rate
of eight gallons to the square rod)
proved the most valuable chemicals
for weed destruction under the con-
ditions of the experiments.
ten per cent. solution Oh Dluc
vitriol was sprayed over weed
ridden field of wheat, there being a
variety of weeds in the field, the
spraying being made in June, when
both weeds and wheat were from
three to five inches high. All the
weeds practically disappeared. While
some of the leaf tips of the wheat
had been burned slightly, the net
yield of grain was much greater than
upon land not so treated.
A similar experiment was made by
using one pound of copper sulrhate
to four gallons of water, and this,
too, proved great success. Where
fear is felt for cattle on grazing
land copperas may be used, but with
less success. The result is considered
of great Importance, not only for the
sake of public parks and lawns, but
in that it clears grazing land of many
weeds that contaminate milk.

EUROPEAN FOOD LAWS.
Pamphlet Published by the Govern.
ment Shows Their Effects on
American Foods.

Prof. Wiley, of the agricultural de-
partment, has just prepared PAM
phlet relating to the pure food laws
of European countries which affect
American exports. He deals with the
question in general way, and saws
with few exceptions almost any food
product which is IN good state of
preservation, and is labeled in man
ner to give true iuea of it's char
acter, may be sold in any country.
The German law prohibits the inn
Portatlon of canned meat, sausage
and macerated meat of all descrip-
lions. Fresh meat may be imported
under restrictions. The addition to
meat of preservatives and coloring
matter usually is prohibited.
The requirements in regard to
dairy products are similar to those
affecting meat. Butter and cheese
ed according to carefully prepared
directions, and the amount of but
ter fat which these substitutes NAV
contain is limited. Belgium requires
that oleomargarine shall be sold I'M
colored, while in Holland and Dem
mark maximum depth of color is
prescribed. In Belgium the word
"lard" must be applied only to pure,
unmiXed swine fat. and other edible
fats which contain more than one
per cent. of water or salt must be
labeled "watered." The addition of
mineral substances, other than salt,
and of chemical personalities and
g1ycerin is forbidden.
In England all adulterated or inn
poverished articles of food must be
in packages conspicuously marked
with a true description of the con-
tents of the packages. In France
food and food products must not be
colored with any mineral substance,
except that Prussian blue. ultra
marine, chalk and ochre may be used
with CONNECTIONS or similar products.
In Italy cereals and mill products
must be in good state of preserva-
ton, free from mold, weed seed and
other impurities. The addition of
alum, copper sulphate, zinc sulphate,
chalk and plaster, and other impure
ties of all descriptions is forbidden.

ELECTRICITY AT BUFFALO.
Plays an Important Part at the Pap- American ExpOsitiOn-Motors at
 Niagara Falls

At no previous exposition has eIec- tricitN played such important parts as at the Pan-American. Ii is the very life of the big show. not only by might but also by day. At night the presence of the transmitted energy of Niagara is made manifest in the beautiful Illumination which has won for the Pan-American the name of the City of Golden Light. This name is well deserved, for it is not only reflective of the hope of humanity, but it also defines the nature of the brilliancy that is winning such unstinted praise from every person who sees it, writes Orrin F.. Dunlap, in the exposition bull letin.
 But in the daytime. when there is no need of the electric current for the illumination of the grounds and build lngs during the period when Old Sol rel&ns supreme, electricity is every where present about the buildings and grounds, and it is doing it's part to make the exposition d truly grand sue cess.
 The fish in the fisheries exhibit are supplied with water by motor that ls electrically operated. Part way up the electric tower there is d restau- rant. and an electric pump furnishes the water for use there. In the Ma chinery building there is ten-horse power motor operatNelN connected to Deane steam pump known as four inch by eight-inch tripeN single act ing pump. delivering 49 gallons per minute against 1S9 pounds pressure.
 There are other motors at work about the grounds and the current
Newport weekly independent., 1901-07-12

that operates them comes from Nj agara falls. There is work by day as we'll a. by night for the energy of Niagara, and thus it is demon strated that the power supply of Nj agara is ever constant. There is no eight or twelve-hour shift with the force of this wonderful river, but hour after hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, and year alter year, as unceasing as has been the flow of the current of the river. this modern power of Niagara is all ways on tap. Centuries will roll on, and generation after generation will hnd the same response from the throw ing of the switch that controls Nj agara's force as is found and en- Joyed to-day in the grounds and build. lngs of the Pan-American exposition.
 Just now the greatest spectacle ever created by the electric energy of the falls of Niagara is being praised and applauded in Buffalo, but there is no telling where next a similar feature will demand as much if not greater admiration, for electrical science has successfully operated power trans mission line a distance of l40 miles. Buffalo IS 25 miles distant from the generating station at Niagara, but the results achieved by the application of the electric force are such that midday visitors to Niagara hasten back to Buff 1aio to be present on the exposition grounds when the illumination is turned on.
