ONIRADICTIONS OVER
OUR CUSTOMS SERVICE
Inspectors Not Overworked, and
Service Good.

Reports in New York papers that the
customs inspectors of that port are
most grievously overworked are not
taken with q great deal OF seriousness
at the Treasury Department
According TO the accounts published
the inspectors are under such a grind
of labor that. their health is likely to
break down. It is said the traffic of
the port is increasing much more rapid
~ than the force, and that passengers
reaching the city on the big liners are
forced to walt more than half a day
in some cases while their baggage is
being inspected.
At the Treasury it is said that un-
doubtedly there is a rush at New York
just now. and the inspectors are work
ed hard. But IL is pointed out this is
the busy time of the year and the flow
of passengers who are returning from
Europe is at its height. In the winter
the inspectors will be able to take life
easy. Speaking OF the delaying OF pas
sengers. a Treasury official referred to
a letter received from a gentleman who
makes frequent trips back and forth
across the ocean. wherein he took the
view that the inspection arrangements
were on the whole satisfactory. and
credit to the Treasury Department.

BANK RESERVES SHOW
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Higher Level in All But Ten Cities
ana One State.

A generally higher level OF reserves
is shown by the abstracts of the condi-
ton Of the national banks at the close
of business September 9. Abstracts have
been made up by the Comptroller of the
Currency for the central reserve cities,
all the reserve cities and about malt
the States. representing different Sec
lions of the country.
The report of last year most nearly
corresponding to this was made Sep-
TENDER 10. and comparison is with the
report of that date. The banks generally
are in better condition than year ago.
Except in ten cities and one State. the
percentages OF legal reserves TO de-
posits are higher than last year. or the
three central reserve cities. New York
and Chicago show increased percentages,
New York increasing from 24.7O per cent
last year to 27.71 per cent. and Chicago
increasing from 21.s9 to 23.s7 per cent.
Chicago. however, is still below tie
|. requirement of rs per cent.
The third central reserve city. 81.
Louis. is not only below the legal re-
quirement, but has decreased from PALS
last year to 22.43 this year. This falling
OF is due to the drain on the banks &c
cause of the financing OF the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
Lincoln, Neb.. has a percentage OF re-
serve OF 1897, the lowest OF any re-
serve city. It's condition is better than
last year, when the percentage was but

IMMUNITY
FROM TUBERCULOSIS
Prof Won Behrlng Would lnocudie Human Beings
With Serum Taken From Cattle.

BERLIN, Sept 26--Prof- Won Behring,
the famous discoverer of the diphtheria
serum, believes he has found a means OF
making human beings immune from
consumption by inoculating them with a
harmless tuberculosis serum, which can
be obtained from cattle.
The professor refers to this matter
at present with the greatest caution
and he does not wish TO excite over
ssnguine hopes. and refuses to answer
any inquiries before his investigations
have been completed.
Prof Won Behring has been investi-
eating consumption in its various forms.
He contends that tuberculosis infection
is in nowise identical with tuberculosis
consumption.
He agrees with the theory that tuber-
culosis is not inherited. but does not
indorse Prof. Koch's idea that bovine
tuberculosis cannot be transmitted &c

from tubereulous cows is the chief cause
of the spread OF consumption. especial
ly in the case OF infants
The digestive organs of the very young
lack the protective tissues which in
adults prevent the entrance OF infec-
tious baeilli, the mucous membrane OF
an infant being like a porous filter.
Prof. Won Behring is credited with
having found incubation successful in
preventing tuberculosis in cattle. and he
bases on these experiments the hope
OF being similarly successful in pro-
tecting human life.
The professor believes that when cows
ere so inoculated certain immunizing
substances pass into the milk, and these
can be transferred to human beings.
Prof. Won Behring will deliver a lee
ture at the annual meeting of German
natur alists, which is to be held at
CasseI today on his recent Investigations
1t Is expected that in this lecture he
will refer to his immunizing theories.

SUNNY ITALY TO TEACH
AMERICA IRRIGATION
Views of Dr. Mead and His Investigations There
to Adapt Plans for This Country

American farming interests can pro-
At much from an adaptation OF the
long established irrigation systems OF
Europe, according to Dr. Elwood Mead,
who has just returned from a three
months trip abroad for the Department
of Agriculture.
DR.. Mead has made the irrigation
problems of the West a lifelong study
and for the past few years has been
the irrigation expert OF the department
here. When he went abroad last June
it was with especial instructions from
Secretary Wilson to report upon such
features OF the work abroad as could be
introduced to advantage in this ,oun-
try. In following these directions DIT.
Mesd came into contact with all the
leading foreign authorities and will
shortly assimilate their suggestions and
his own observations into report for
Secretary Wilson's information.
Speaking Of his trip, DR.. Mead said to-
day:
italian Climate Like Ours.
"A large part of my visit abroad was
spent in Italy. where irrigation is
splendidly understood. The Valley of
the Pc has long been a school for the
rest Of the world Reports Of English
engineers like Monterief. sent there by
their government. have not only had
great influence on the development of
irrigation in the English colonies. but
have also been widely studied in this
country.
There are special reasons why North
ern Italy is a good field for US to study.
The climate there Is very similar to
that OF the eastern part OF the United
States. where irrigation is likely to be
adopted in the future. The rainfall of
Italy is equal to that of the Mississippi
Valley. They grow crops successfully
on land not irrigated. but have adopted
the system because 1t practically
