Investigations made by the Connec.
ticut authorities show that out OF
5000 or more varieties of food which
the pure food department had exam
ined 67S were found adulterated, while
173 contained antiseptic or preserva-
tive substances. Flour is often adul-
terated with meal and sometimes with
minerals. The principal adulterants
of meat are preservatives. Dairy pro-
ducts are largely adulterated. Cot
tonseed oil is used extensively for this
purpose. Maple sugar is adulterated
with cane sugar Jellies, etc, are
treated with coloring matter, fiavoring
and preserving agencies. Many times
the basis of these jellies is starch
paste or animal gelatine. Spices are
freely adulterated. Not only are al
coholic drinks largely treated by
adulterants as fusel oil, but soft drinks
are also even more lavishly adulter-
ated than the former. For example,
a glass of soda water often contains
enough aniline to dye brilliantly six
square inches of wooden cloth. There
are many harmless adulterants, as ce-
reals in coffee, spices, etc, but antisep-
tic agencies are vicious. The remedy
is to compel every manufacturer to
label correctly his manufactured
goods.-Fruit Trade Journal

The experiments in growing Suma.
ira tobacco in the Connecticut valley,
recently reported by the national de-
partment of agriculture, were some
thing more than a successful attempt
at plant introduction. A third of an
acre was planted. This was shaded
from the sun by erecting a frame
work, upon which cheese cloth was
stretched at a distance of nine feet
above the ground and inclosing the
sides as well. The tobacco grew well
and in due time was harvested and
fermented, as is customary. The

pronounced excellent and hardly to be

Great claims are now being made
through the newspapers for a new
brake for railroad trains, which, it is
stated. will stop a train running at
a speed Of so miles an hour within
distance OF 20 yards. This wonderful
apparatus Is the inyeption OF French

successful in having ii introduced up

1t is necessary for steam railway
managers to begin training electrical
engineers in order that, when the
time comes for the traction equip
ment of their lines to go on, they will
have stats of men familiar both with
the electrical problems involved and
with the practical conduct of rail-
ways. Among the important uses to
which electricity is applied on rail-
ways of the most modern type may be
mentioned signaling, the movement of
switches, the lighting of signals and
switches, telegraphing, and the cleo
trio lighting of trains. With most of
the aforementioned uses the progress
OF development has reached a point
of considerable perfection, but in the
lighting of trains there seems to have
been, in this country at least, some
conservative prejudice that has made
the equipment of passenger cars with
electric lights rather more slow than
the perfection of the art of train light
ing would warrant.-Electrical Re-

The twentieth century began Tues
day, January /, 1901, in the Pacific
ocean just east of the Friendly ISL
ands. The theoretical line marking
1870 degrees east and west of Green
witch has two irregularities in it, put
there by the agency of man in the ar
rangement of business affairs. The
Russians brought eastward the day of
ST. Petersburg and established it in
Alaska, but when the United States
came into possession of that country
the authorities deemed it wise to have
one day throughout the United States,
and so the date line was set 10 de-
grees to the west of the actual meri-
dian, so as to include in the day of
this country its outermost possession.
For this reason the Island of Attu u
the Alaskan archipelago, is ITO de-
grees east longitude, is the latest
place on the earth to retain any GER
tain day. In the same manner GER
tain groups of islands in the southern
Pacific have been included in the day
Of Australia and New Zealand, with
which they have business relations,
although some of them lie east of the
one hundred and eightieth meridian

THE BENTON WRECK.
Nine Cars Piled Up and a Hobo Has q Ven
Narrow Escape.

Freight train No. 81, going east. was
piled up about mile below Benton
station. at $40 last night. The acct
dent was caused by bursting DIR
brake hose which set the brakes on a
part of the train while the remainder
was free. The train was hauled by two
engines and consisted of about so cars.
The brake did not work on about 80
of the cars of the rear of the train.
which allowed that section to pile up
on the front section. About nine cars
We're IN the nixup and were piled high
in the air. These were mostly empty.
The cars were piled on top of each
other to a considerable height and
crushed into one tangled mass.
a hobo was stealing a ride in box
car which was in the very midst OF
the tangle. He escaped with only
slight injuries. His face was consid-
erably cut and his body bruised. He
was conducted to the Fairfield lookup,
where he spent the night. His name
was not learned.
The wrecking train was sent out
from Waterville and a large crew of
men was set at work clearing away
the wreckage.
The Belfast mixed and the F'oxcroft
mixed We're the first trains held by the
wreck. Pullman No. was the next
one. Good progress was made with
the wreck and by ll.30 it looked as II
it would be cleared away in a few
hours

made Of the opposite qualities dis
