pREsERr4TITEs UNDESIRABLE"

When DR.. Wiley began his series of expert
ments with food personalities upon human sub
jects two or three months ago The Tribune felt
that the results would be more instructive if
others than perfectly sound. healthy persons
were included in the study Millions of people
who not to be regarded invalids, but are
far from being robust, eat canned meats fruits
and vegetables. If such articles contain deleteri-
Gus chemicals, perhaps this group of consumers
would show the i'll effects sooner than any one
else However, if it should prove that the more
susceptible classes were not largely represented
IN Dr. Wiley's poison squads" his finding
would not be without value. From one point Of
view, it would be more convincing for that rea-
son. Certainly, if chemical preservatives are OBJ
jectionabe for those who are in prime condi-
ton, they are still more for people who have
weak stomachS or kidneys or are debtated by
neat temporary sickness or other causes. On
the whole, then, there will be little complaint
about DR.. Wileys methods. He has made a
good case for pure food legislation and his re
port should be of great assistance to Congress,
TO say nothing Of the medical profession.
Opinions will differ. perhaps as to the best
way OF suppressng the evil in question. No
one can accuse Or. Wiley of undue severity. If
he is criticised at all, it will doubtless be be-
cause he does not seem to go far enough. He
loeS uOI recommend pfODlDltl0n or pfeScrVa
tiveS. He would only require the packers who
employ them to publish the fact on their pack
ages. Then the responsibility for accepting or
rejecting such goods would be made TO rest on
the buyer, who. in the majority of cases would
be poorly qualified TO judge for himself He
might entertain rabid and poorly grounded
prejudces, or, on the other hand he might be
blissfully ignorant Of the significance OF the
phrase Preserved with borc acid" UDon this
and kindred points even experts have disagreed
II is because of the uncertainty attaching to the
effect OF various chemicals. and to the amounts
that could be used with impunity that Dr.
Wiley and other chemists have made tests dur
ing the last few years. Possibly some better
plan for diScouraging the Introduction Of injuri-
Gus agents into canned goods may be found than
announcing their presence on the label

bearing song against the singer herself Tor her
own destruction.
That, however is not all of it. Professor
Ebenezer Wayback. of POdunk CROSSROADS, mas
discovered that the mosquito Staying note can
be effectively produced by other than electrical
devices Being kept awake one night last week
by the persistent snoring OF Mrs. Wayback, he
was agreeably surprised to find that he was not
troubled at all by the mosquitoes which during
the evening had swarmed in the room, and the
next morning he observed their defunct bodies
living thickly upon the counterpane The next
night while Mrs. Wayback again slept and
snored, he conducted experiments with pitch
pipe which demonstrated that the dominant note
of her snoring was identical with the d so fatal
to mosquitoes. Further experiments showed that
by the proper adjustment of a clothespin upon
the nose any sleeper could be made to emit the
same note. AS soon as this was made known
by Professor Wayb2ck to his townsmen a whole
sale raid was made upon the stock of clothes
pins at Deacon Ezra Dogood's grocery, and the
next night not a single mosquito bite was suf-
fered by any resident OF Podunk Crossroads
1t is n fine manifestation OF public spirit,
worthy Of all praise that Professor Wayback
has not attempted to secure letters patent upon
this beneficent invention. or even to keep it
secret for his own use. but has given it freely
to all the world. HencefOrth mosquito netting
and pennyroyal and all other such devices may
be laid aside. Armed merely with his own ma
tive nose and a stout clOthespin. every man may
be his own mosquito annihilator, destroying his
would-be tormentors while he is sleeping the
sleep Of the unstung Dying to slow music! 1t
is melodramatic ending, well fitted to the i'm
memorial bane of the human race.

considerable In their treatment OF citizens and
in their answers to proper inquiries than were

Tammany was In power. Most of them realize,
under the benefcent rule of this administration,
that they are public servants in the best sense
of the term, and most of them are striving dill
gently to do their duty.
Tammany tried to convince the members OF
the force that the one thing for them to think
of first was individual graft and personal
gain by hook or by crook, and secondly the en-
richment of ward heelers and corrupt rascals
with pull. The force has seen a great light.

DYING TO SLOW MUSIC.

We have already reported some phases Of the
development Of the great Boston scheme for
making mosquitoes die TO slow music. 1t was
discovered some time ago that a musical note
OF a certain pitch, electrically produced and
loudly sounded would kill ali mosquitoes within
hearing. The note in question is that known as
D-approD TiateIy reminiscent of the big big d"
of lyric fame, an objurgatory initial said not
to be altogether unknown TO some victims Of
mosquitoes pernicious activity. 1t is further
described as Il high note, presumably the ID
above high c. though. strangely enough It is
also said TO be produced by only one hundred
vibrations Il second, which according 10 our
recollection of acoustics should produce a par
ticularly low note away down in the bass Per-
haps, however, they reckon such things differ
emily in Boston, holding, with Emerson, that
High Low and Jack are all the same"
Still more interesting is the fact that this
lethal note is Identical with that uttered by the
female mosquito in calling the male 1t has
long been known that it is the female mosquito
that does business with mankind. The male is
a harmless fellow, sans probe. sans pump sans
buzz, sans everything" His function is to flut
ter about harmlessly while his spouse draws
blood. II is therefore the voice Of the female
which is ominous of woe TO man. It's potency
has long been known But not until now have
we known that its morbific powers extend even
