IFIGH6IWG BOB EVANS.

The rebuke administered to Rear
Admiral Robley ID. Evans by the Navy
Department because of his attack up
on sx-Secretary Chandler is direct and
sharp, but If the admiral is wise he
will accept it in silence and be thank
full that his indiscretion brought no
worse punishment He should be glad
that Mr. Chandler is an ex-senator and
not an active member of congress,
otherwise the matter undoubtedly
would have been made the subject of
a congressional inquiry. The best
thing Admiral Evans can do Is to re-
solve to criticize no prominent man
while still living. especially if he be
of Mr.. Chambers temperament. This
reprimand ought to have a salutary
effect in checking the kind of offense
OF which Admiral Evans was guilty.
He used the pages of his book to air
his grudge of sixteen years standing
against the man who was Secretary Of
the Navy at the time of Evans remov-
al from the lighthouse board. There
has been too much public criticism by
naval officers of late.
The Navy Department has formally
notified the admiral that when he at
lacked the former head Of the navy
he abandoned the courtesy that
should always characterize an officer
Of the navy" This judgment will be
confirmed by the great majority of
American citizens. The only solace
Admiral Evans is likely to get out of
the episode is. in the form of larger
sales for his book Many people will
want to read the volume that could
call down upon its author such
singing rebuke.-Chicago Tribune.

German folklore tells of a peacock
which thrust the glory of his plumage
upon all other poultry till young hen
cackled, "Just look at his feet!" The
peacock had forgotten his Informed
extremities. "Just look at his feet!" is
not an uncommon expression today.
The growing summer fashion of dress

has much to commend it. 1t will Gre

A pleasant accompaniment Of the
hot weather this summer is the in
,creasing tendency ON the part of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
BILE thing in equine millinery is a
walking-hat of straw, with high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears protrude. Some
of the teamsters who have feminine
friends and sense Of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon, bright-colored ribbons or gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a con-
siderable protection against the sun,
and when, as is usual a wet sponge
is placed in the crown, the horse can
do his work without danger and in
greater comfort. 1t is sensible in
,novation.

A rare phenomenon attended an
earthquake that visited little town
in Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to lake in the neighbor-
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. The agitation ceased
after few minutes, and then the
water gradually disappeared, leaving
the bottom of the lake exposed, when
it was seen that the earthquake had
opened fssure in the bottom and
thus drained it,

The Kongo ivory as, indeed, all At

Our readers will be interested in
the reports of tests at the West Vir-
ginia experiment station relative to
the feeding value of meat meal and
ground bone and meat Both feeds
are undeniably good, but in the tests
mentioned the ground bone and fresh
meat gave better results than did the
meat meal. One series of tests do not

Barred Plymouth Rock hens and two
cocks were divided into two similar
lots They were supplied at all times
with grit, granulated bone and water.
The grain ration for each lot of fowls
was the same. The fowls fed fresh
ground bone gained more in weight
than the lot receiving meat meal. Dur
ing the experiment the fowls receiv-
ing the fresh bone laid 1924 eggs
weighing 1852 lbs, of an average
weight of 1915 lbs. per hundred eggs,
while the meat meal lot laid only
$3.50 eggs weighing 1912 lbs. and
weighing 11.94 lbs. per hundred. Con-
sequently the fowls fed fresh bone not
only gained more in weight but they
also laid more and larger eggs. Dur
ing the experiment four of the hens
receiving meat meal died and were re-
placed by others. At the time it was
thought that they were killed by some
poison present in the meat meal. The
fowls receiving ground fresh meat and
bone remained healthy during the en-
tire test. The experimenters say:
"of course with another sample of
meat meal the results might have been
different, and consumers are advised
when purchasing meat meal or beef
scraps to insist upon obtaining a per-
fectly fresh article"

Wafer in Europe and America.

Wafer in Europe and America,
Statistics gathered by the state de-
partment concerning the consumption
of water used in European and Amer
lean cities afford opportunities for
some interesting comparisons. Paris
uses 1866 gallons daily, Berlin 1927
Vienna 27 and Brussels 264.
In Chicago the average consumption
is 145 gallons per capita every day. in
Buffalo it is 240 gallons, in Cleveland
1873 gallons, in Washington 100 gallons
and in Detroit 1876 gallons. The larger
consumption of water In American
cities is due, it is claimed, in large
measure to waste. In most European
cities the water is filtered, and precau-
tions are taken against unnecessary
usage of it.

Mr.. Edmond de Nevers, a French

This work seems to have been named
on the principle by which middle
aged writer headed a chapter "Of

There are no snakes in Iceland" So

spirit is simply matter of heredity

In order to determine the influence Of
tubercle toxins upon the constitution
of the young animals, French expert
menter has conducted a number of ex-
periments in inoculating guinea pigs.
Five tests were made in which the gui-
nea pigs received the distilled products
of cultures of the tubercle bacilli. The
NEGOTIATIONS were given several months
before the period of CESSATION began,
and as a result of the incubation the
young were born in diminished num-
bers and either dead OF with feeble con-
situations. The author. believes from
these experiments that tubercle toxins
influence CESSATION in lessening the
number of the young, in causing the
death of the foetus, the premature
death of the young, or a weakened con-
stitution. Further experiments with
young animals born under these condi-
tions indicated that they are more SEN
sitive to tuberculosis than normal am
imals.

Reports from England say that there
have been a number of convictions in
the courts recently for the sale of but
ter containing personalities. One man
was convicted for selling butter con-
tanning GO grains of boracic acid to the
pound, and another for selling butter
containing 81 grains of the same sub
stance to the pound. Yet another was
fined for selling butter with only IL
grains of boracic acid to the pound
Without doubt some of this butter
came from the United States. 1t is
known that from the Elgin district
butter containing no salt but preserved
with boracic acid is being sent to Eng
land.
New York justice, in filming some
milk dealers for watering their milk,
told them that if they came before him
again and were convicted of the same
offense he would send them to the
penitentiary. 1t is asserted by the
officials in charge of the enforcement
OF the laws against food adulteration
that it is almost impossible to prevent
the watering of milk. So alarming
have conditions become that the Med
ical Society of the County of New
York has appointed committee to de-
wise methods of improving the milk
supply of New York City. Doubtless
the doctors have found the bad milk
one of the greatest obstacles in the
way of the recovery of their patients
and the thrift of children forced to
live upon it. The aforementioned
commission has hit upon what it be-
lieves to be practical scheme. 1t has
selected a few dealers that are known
to be above suspicion and has issued
to them label that may be used on
each bottle of milk, certifying that the
milk in the bottle is pure. BY so do
ing it is hoped the consumers will buy
only of those dealers that have or may
have the labels. BY this means the
rogues should be frozen out of bust
ness.
