FOOD ADULTERATION.
Black Rubber and Silk Chopped Up to
Simulate Truff1es

In report on the subject of food adul-
teration in Europe, Consul General Guen-
Their, at Frankfort, makes the following
statements:
IAN article on the adulteration of food
products Is going the rounds Of the Ger
man press. 1t Is stated for instance, that
an ordinary liver patty Is made into fine
'Strassburger' pate de feie gras goose
liver patty by means Of borax or salicylic
acid and of finely chopped and cleverly dis
tributed pieces of black silk, representing
trufIles.
Cosmos. German paper, guarantees the
fact that under the label of canned lob
sters the soft parts OF the cuttlefsh and
crabs are sold.
"In Paris snails are Of late very popular,
and the adulterators mix them with lungs
Of cattle and horses. Even entirely arti-
fetal snails are manufactured. The shells,
recoated with fat and slime are filed with
lung and then sold as Burgundy snafls.
Lovers Of fresh rooster combs are i'm
posed upon by substitute cut out Of hogs
intestines.
Chopped artificial truff1es are made of
black rubber. silk or softened leather and
even whole truffles are made out of roasted
potatoes. which are given a peculiar flavor
by adding ether. They are said to sell we'll
Fish spoiled in spite Of ice and borax is
treated with salts OF zinc, aluminium. and
other metals. Rubbing the fish with vase
line to give 1t fresh look and coloring the
gills with fresh blood or eosin-a coal-tar
color-is resorted to. The later is also used
to intensity the red color of inferior crabs
"Imparting a greenish color to oysters IL
another adulteration. An oyster requires
about one month in the beds to acquire
the greenish color. AS this is too long a
time, the dealers help them along with an
artificial color.

claimed land be settled by the condemna-
ton and purchase of a strip of land ada
cent to the shore or otherwise before the
flats at these localities are reclaimed. The
land to be ACQUIRED is believed to be OF but
insignificant value at the present time. If
economical to convey the dredged material
to other points for deposit.
AS delays in proceedings Of this charac-
ter might result in serious interference with
the progress of the Improvement. attention
Is thus early invited to this subject. 1t is
proposed for the present to deposit material
only in front of government reservations,
these areas will soon become filled.
Appropriations Needed.
For the successful and economical pros
ecution of this work large and continuous
appropriations are desirable. as was clearly
stated In presenting the original estimates
of the cost Of the Improvement The esti-
mated unit price for dredging, which is con-
siderably lower than the prices which have
usually been paid for such work on the Po-
tomac. Is based upon this assumption. and
II the appropriations should be small and
made at irregular intervals the actual cost
of the work would be more than the esti-
mated cost.
The channels should be rendered availa-
bic for navigation and the flats should be
entirely reclaimed to height which will
place them above the reach of ordinary
tldes at the earliest day practicable, after
which the remainder of the work may be
prosecuted at less rapid rate
The sum of $500. 900 can be profitably ex-
pended during the fiscal year ending June

the dredged material"

In a report to the State Department Com
mercfal Agent Greener. at Vladivostock,
says that Engineer Yugovitch chief engi-
neer in the construction Of the Chinese
Eastern railway, has just completed an
agreement with the Chinese governor of
the. Hylomtsian province In Manchuria,
for the exploitation Of two coal mines in
that province. This agreement and one
previously entered into with reference to
coal mines in the Grin province, was con-
firmed by the imperial Chinese minister for
foreign affairs. By virtue Of this conven-
ton the Chinese Eastern railway Is grant
ed the right to exploit freely the coal mines
On a strip Of land thirty Chinese versts
(about twenty miles, on both sides of the
railway line, besides preferential rights to
exploit coal mines beyond these limits
The most important item Is to the effect
that If any foreign company companies
ehould apply to the Chinese government
for permission to exploit any coal mines
outside of the thirty-verst concession such
permission shall only be granted with the
consent OF the Chinese Eastern Railway
Company The railway company, in ac-
cordance with this convention, agrees to
indemnify all private parties whose lands
may be taken for any damage done to
buildings, graves or crops and to pay to
the Chinese government a royalty for ev-
cry 1900 Chinese pounds of the output of
coal. To the company is also conceded the
right to cut timber In the province, both

remuneration to be hereafter fixed
