PURE FOOD
LAW VIOLATED.
Interesting Facts Concerning the Roasting
OF Coffee Brought Ont by Scientific
Experts-Presence of Bacteria.

TOLEDO, August 1Oth-The jury in
Judge Meek's court in this city has
found James White, a local grocer,
guilty Of selling adulterated coffee.
The prosecution was based on a pack.
age Of Ariosa coffee.
The State of Ohio, through the Pure
Food Commission, prosecuted White.
The case was on trial for nearly a
month, and attracted national atten-
ton.
The manufacturers OF Ariosa coffee
conducted the defense for Grocer
White. Attorneys Of eminence
were retained to defend him.
but after O short consultation a verdict
of guilty was returned by the jury.
The State Of Ohio considers this a big
victory. Pure Food Commissioner
Blackburn has been wagfng q warfare
on spurious food articles and the de-
partment has been successful.
The complaint of the State Of Ohio
was that Ariosa coffee was coated with
O substance which concealed defects
In the coffee and made 1t appear better

for the propagation of bacteria.
Prof. G.. a. Hereinafter, Of this city,

cipal witness for the State. He tes-
titled that he had made scientific ex-
aminations Of samples of Ariosa
purchased from Grocer White In
che open market, and found that
each berry contained an average
of 800. bacteria. Mr.. Kirchmaier
further testified that other cof-
fees be examined contained few bae-
terra or none at all. He declared that
the glazed coffee was not a wholesome
food product.
Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, cor
goborated the testimony Of Prof.
Kirchmaier. The State did not present
further testimony.
The defense secured some of
the most eminent chemists and
scientists In the United States
to give testimony In their behalf. Prof.
III. w. Wiley. of the United States
Agricultural Department; Prof.
Vaughn, of Ann Arbor University;
Profs. Belle and Webber, OF the Ohio
State University, were called to de-
fend Ariosa. DR.. Wiley made a care

alton of this glazing. On this point.
In cross-examination. the States at

formation that these eggs might be
kept In cold storage for q year or two
at a@time.

THE LATEST CREATURES,

TndoIent Aquatic Few Are Found On
Shores of Western Lakes.
During the recent trip through the
lower western section OF the country
said a young man who had recently
returned to New Orleans, 81 believe I
discovered the LATEST and most stupid
form Of life to be found anywhere on
the globe. It was an aquatic fowl.
with a big, clumsy-looking beak, In
form something like the dodo, low ex-
tinct. / have spent some time In
watching this fowl, which is found in
some of the shallow lakes. and the
chief point Of interest to me was the
startling stupidity displayed. They
generally squat N stumps or logs in
the lake and watch for the smaller
fish that play around the surface Of
the water. They are fairly clever in
catching what they want, and they
throw out their bills with considerable
precision when they dig for game, and
they never get to eat what they catch
until they have fed at least n and
maybe more than one member Of an
other kind Of water fowl. Whenever
a shay begins to catch fish a long,
legged water hen will take a place inn
mediately behind him. When the shay
lands the fish the water hen simply
reaches over and gets ii. Without
any show Of resentment and without
turning around the shag viii continue
its watch for fish. and this is kept up
until the water hen has finished Its
meal, and then, If Nc other ~enterpris-
ing member of the same tribe comes
along, the shay is permitted TO enjoy
the product of its own sleepy efforts.
T have, ON one occasion. seen n shay
feed as many as three water hens be-
fore eating q single fish. 1t Is GER
tafnly a singular display OF stupidity.
and after having watched the per-
formance a number of times I am con.
WINGED that the shay Is actually too
dull to even know that the water hen
stands behind him to steal the fish out
of his mouth.-New Orleans Times
