Beef Industry Not Menaced.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29-Arthur G. Leonard
general manager of the Union Stockyards
and Transit Company, says there is very
little menace to the beef industry or live
stock exports of this country or to the
foreign consumption and trade in the quar-
antine declared by Secretary, Wilson against
the cattle in the New England States. The
number of cattle sent to market and ex-
ported on the hoof from the affected dis
trict is very small, as there are very few
beef cattle raised in that part of the coun-
try. There are more or less dairy cattle
kept together and housed closely and more
susceptible TO disease there than the cat
tie on the range. The only particular re-
suit so far as affecting the livestock sit
uation is concerned is the closing of the
New England ports 10 the shipments of
Western live stock and changing the points
of export TO other ports. The principal
part of the beef going out of this country is
dressed and goes right through the quar-
antined district for export.
The same general opinion was given by
John A. Spoor. president of the Union
Stockyards and Transit Company, and G.
M. Skinner, of the international Live Stock
Exposition.

AN ODD GOLD BRICK.
Memory Method of n Joke Formerly
Practiced in Boston.

Boston Journal.
In the columns of one of our interesting
contemporaries appears the following
laughmaker:
"Teacher-In what year was the battle
of Waterloo fought?
Pupil don't know.
"Teacher-It's simple enough IL you only
would learn how to cultivate artificial
memory. Remember the twelve apostles.
Add half that number to them. That's
eighteen. Multiply that by 100. That's
1890. Take the twelve apostles again. Add
a quarter of their number to them. That s
fifteen Add what you've got. That's 1915.
That's the date. Quite simple, you see, to
remember dates IL you will only adopt my
system"
Another contemporary copies it and heads
ii "She Wasn't a Boston Teacher" She
wasn't; but he was.
At least he was teaching in Boston some
dozen years ago. He was a genuine mne-
as we think of his articles. One of his
lessons was the remembering OF the year
George Washington was born, and the proc
ess involved Indian fights, sail up the
River James, and description of a sur
veyor's outfit We wonder If there are
others in town who remember the enter
tanning wag. For surely he was practicing
waggery. His pupils (who bought a book
he had written) were amused for the time
that by train of thoughts. no matter how
long. they could eventually tell the year
in which Caesar landed in Britain, or in
which Mark Twain discovered the ingenu-
ity or tourists guides.
Truth beats fiction. and the one who buys
a gold brick should simply resolve to profit
by his experience.

Last Shipment from Boston.

BOSTON, Nov. 29.-The Cunard line
steamer Sylvania, which will be the last
vessel ito leave Boston with cattle for a
British port until the embargo against their
shipment on account OF the prevalence of
the foot and mouth disease in New Eng
land is raised, hauled into the stream about
O'Clock tonight. and will sail for Liver
pool Tomorrow with 664 cattle and $50 sheep
on board The vessel cannot reach Liver
pool before Dec 5, when the order of the
English Board of Agriculture forbidding
the landing in Great Britain from New
England ports goes into effect, but il is
said that the Boston agent of the line has
received assurances from the company's
head Office in England which satisfy him
that the Sylvanias cargo can be landed in
Liverpool.

DISEASE TO BE DIFFERENTIATED
DIR. SALMON WILL DIRECT THE
CAMPAIGN IN PERSON.
Export Trade Likely to BE Diverted
from New England to New York
and Other Ports.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-In pursuance
of the purpose of the Agricultural Depart
ment to spare no effort in the extermina-
ton of the foot and mouth disease prevail
ing among live stock in the New England
Animal Industry, decided to-day to go to
Boston and take charge of the campaign in
person.
Discussing the question, DR.. Salmon said
that the department had received due
notice Of the action of Great Britain in
quarantining against the New England
ports, but that the Department. decision
had been influenced more by desire to
protect the remainder of our own country
than by any fear, of losing our export
trade He added that the action of Great
Britain could not be construed as at all hos
tile, the conditions apparently justifying
it. The opinion also was expressed that
so long as there is no general quarantine
the exports would not be materially af-
fected, the expectation being that the
trade which has heretofore left New Eng
land ports will find outlet through other
cities.
Figures showing the extent Of Boston's
the value of the business for last year at
about $S.OOO,OOO. The cattle shipments num-
bered 1887, the sheep 10000 and the horses
1,552. In addition more than $4,000 head
of Canadian cattle and more than $1,000
head Of Canadian sheep were shipped from
that port. There also were quite extensive
shipments from Portland.
Discussing the work to be done, DR.. Sal
mon said that he expected to have force
of from fifty to one hundred assistants
who will be scattered over the infected
district. He said there was no effectual
remedy against the disease, except the
slaughter of the affected cattle and that he
expected to resort to that remedy where
ever necessary. The department to-day de-
cided to allow live stock to go through the
quarantined States for immediate slaughter
providing the cars containing them are
sealed by government inspectors at stock
yards before reaching the infected region
and the seals remain undisturbed.

BacterioIogists Explain the Hoof and
Mouth Disease.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-In order that the
danger of infection from the hoof and
mouth disease now reported to be prevalent
among the cattle of Massachusetts,, Yer
mont, Rhode Island and Connecticut may
not spread in this city and State, DR..
Ernst ]. Lederle. president of the Depart
ment of Health, is taking precautions
However, most of the meat used here
comes from the Western stockyards, and
the milk from New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania. Veterinary inspectors have
been stationed in New York, Kings, Queens
and Richmond counties. They have orders
to use the strictest measures to keep out
any cattle which may show any signs of
the disease.
According to the bacteriologists of the
City Health Department the disease is new
to this country, but is well known in Eu-
rope, especially in Belgium. The mortality
from it is not high, but is extremely con-
tagious. 1t is due largely to the heat from
organic matter and ii attacks the hind
hoofs first, where the animals stand in
their stalls The disease is transmitted to
the mouth when the animal ticks his feet,
and is thus called the hoof and mouth
blood through the stomach, much the same
as those of diphtheria do-the temperature
is elevated, and fever sets in. This of
course, affects the milk of the cow and nat
urally will injure those who drink it.
A Dutch COW brought pleuro-pn pneumonia
into this country in 1S41. 1t was called
the cow dstemper and the government lost
from 100000 to sl0,OO0,O0O worth of cattle
i'm a year, finally stamping ii out. Destruc-
ton of the infected animals is said to be
the only way TO check IL.

ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.
OF the Many Theories Advanced Two
Stand Out.
Mine and Minerals.

Mine and Minerals.
OF the numerous theories advanced for
the explanation of the generation of petro-
leum two stand out pre-eminently First,
the formation of the oil from vegetable
matter by subterranean decomposition;
and, secondly, its production from car
bonaceOus metallic compounds In cOniunc-
ton with steam. In both cases terrestrial
heat is thought to have been the produc-
ing agency, which is assumed to have orig
mated in the center Of the earth. The first
mentioned theory is based upon the concep-
ton that carbon, in the form of coal. was
produced from vegetable substances under
the effect of heat, steam and pressure and
that hydrocarbons in the gaseous and liquid
state were formed in a similar manner
from such material. This theory received
support, apparently, by the study of the
products arising by the dry distillation of
coal in closed vessels and by the character
of the gases and liquids thus obtained
which resemble petroleum and the vapors
accompanying 1t in nature to some extent
Subsequent researches as to the compounds
resulting from a similar treatment of ami
NAL fat showed that distillation products
were obtained, which seem to justify the
conclusion that these substances might
have contributed also the formation of the
oil.
Much credit was given to these observa-
tions, and the theory Of the origin of petro-
leum from vegetable and animal tissue was
generally accepted, though upon closer in
vestigation IL was found that circumstances
had been overlooked which argued forcibly
against the acceptation of the theory. First
among these was the fact that petroleum
had been found in Pennsylvania and Cam
ada in the most ancient strata, like the
Sfurfan and Devonian, which are known
to have contained but very limited amounts
of vegetable debris. This fact having been
ascertained, the conclusion lay near that
these oils must have been generated in the
ancient strata mentioned or maybe in the
Archean below them, since the assumption
or its origin from more recent strata and
its infiltration from above must necessarily
appear preposterous on account of the spe-
cific gravity of the oil, which prevented it
from descending, but enabled it to float on
water, and thus to rise eventually even to
the surface Of the earth. Furthermore, it
follows from these deductions that the
generation Of the oil must have taken place
in more ancient strata like the Slurian,
Devonian and Archean, where the heat was
sufficiently high to produce the hydrocar-
bons present in 1t. and since these layers
did contain but very little vegetable mat
ter, It's formation must have been made
possible by the generative reaction of other
substances, among which metallic carbides
and steam appear to be the bodies most
likely to have contributed to that end.

liant. The law which up to the present has
dealt somewhat severely with them and re-
fused TO consider as binding contracts made
by them is apparently beginning to take up
another attitude. AT any rate, this was the
case recently when the Chambre des Re-
quotes had to consider an action from Tou-
louise. Some time back solicitor living in
the neighborrood of that town engaged the
services of a local matrimonial agent who
In due course found a suitable wife for his
client The marriage took place, and the
agent applied for his commission, but the
solicitor did not appear inclined to pay the
sum agreed upon. He first declared that
the amount was out of proportion with the
services rendered and subsequently re-
fused to pay anything whatever. The par
ties then went TO law, and the local civil
court dismissed the agents claim on ques-
tons of fact. He appealed. and the Appeal
Court also decided against him, holding
that money payments for matrimonial
negotiations were immoral and illegal"
The plaintin next appealed on point OF
law to the Chambre des Requetes, which
decided in his favor and ordered fresh
trial of the action by the Civil Court. A
passage In the speech made by the advocate
general is well worth quoting. After show
ing that marriage had always been con-
sidered as the basis Of society, he said:
How can the fact of facilitating a mar
riage, of placing two families in relation
ship, of procuring companion for the man
who wishes to create family be declared
a priori ipso facto, act contrary to
morals, to law and TO public order? The
contrary is the case. A priori and on
it cannot be considered too favorably. Must
the nature of this meritorious and moral
action be changed because the interme-
diary has not been a disinterested person
BY no means. A disinterested intermediary
may commit a detestable action, while an
interested one may commit an excellent
one. Everything depends on the circum-
stances"
