He May Be Biased.

Dr. H. w. Wiley. chief of the bureau of chemistry of the depart ment of agriculture, has been ques- toned regarding statements attrib- uted to him that there is no genuine Scotch whisky in the United States. He said the government records show that only about Goo, ,ooo gal Ions of Scotch whisky was imported last year. and, judging by what he has seen of the way Scotch whisky is ordered i'll hotels and clubs, he does not believe that Goo, 900 gal Ions would by any means meet the demand. He intimated that some thing called Scotch whisky may perhaps be compounded in the country, creosote being used to inn part the smoky flavor.

Insanity May Be Contagious.

Apparent proof that insanity may be communicated like hydrophobia is shown in a case attracting much attention from physicians at Belle vue hospital, New York.
 The subject is Nellie Halpin, a trained nurse, who was bitten on the hand by an insane patient in the Kings County Sanitarium al most year ago. Since then the wound has freq uently given Miss Halpin great pain and has never completely healed.
 About two months ago she began to show signs of mental disturbance. These grew stronger and finally her friends had the young woman re- moved from her home to the hospi- tai. She now suffers severe con- vulsions resembling the manifesto lions of rabies, while the mental delusions are almost continuous.

THE ENGLISH
 DEGENERATE
Drink and Laziness Fruitful
 of Evil.
From the London Mali.

From the London Mali.
 Unpleasant facts calculated to wound the national pride are found by the hundred in the report of the select committees on physical dete- rioration. recently published.
 Alcoholism, abuse of tea, flat feet, impaired vision, bad teeth, laziness, and unwholesome food are some of the subj cts on which evi- dence was given by the witnesses. Gen. Sir Frederick Maurice. one of our foremost soldiers, said that on Mafeking night he walked from Charing Cross to Cannon street. He went through the whole crowd and did not see dozen men that he could have enlisted.
 On the subject of youthful drink CTS, the general referred to "a little, puny 2-year-old child' in a hospital at Blackheath who had a penny given to him to play with, and the poor little wretch held out his hand to every visitor, with the penny in it, asking them to get him just ha'porth of gin.' It was his one idea of the way to use the penny. Gin was his ideal of happiness.
 Inquiries showed that "gin liv- CTS" for children under three years of age were a common eXrerience of hospital practice.
 Tea and coffee were denounced as deleterious by Dr. Hay, F. R C.. P, who was just as severe upon beer.
 Women were described by Dr. Eicholz as worse topers than men. Drink, coupled with laziness, was at the root of many of the evils of degeneracy.
 Sir William Taylor, director gem eral ot the army medical service, said that the wearing of clogs had much to do with causing flat feet. He did not believe in soldiers wear ing eyeglasses or false teeth. What would happen if they were lost

The government has proposed to

government purchasing these rights.
Several large holders of this class of
water have in writing stated that they

Knox Chosen
u. S. Senator.

Philadelphia, June 9.-Philander
c. Knox of Pittsburg, attorney gen.
eral of the United States, was Sc
lected today to fill the seat in the
United States senate made vacant
by the death of M. S. Quay. He
will accept and serve by appoint
ment of Governor Pennypacker I'M
til March d, the date of the eXpira-
ton of the late senator's commits
sion. Unless political complications
should arise as a result of today's
action he will be elected for the full
term by the legislature which meets
in January. 1t is expected that AT
torney General Knox will remain
in the cabinet until December.
The selection of Attorney Gen
eral Knox came as surprise to the
politicians of the state. Directly
after Senator Quay died Knox's
name was among those mentioned
for the vacancy, but as no one came
forth to support it, little was heard
of his candidacy during the past
week. Just before General Knox
left Washington few days ago he
called on the president and told
him that he had been rendered the
appointment of United State sena-
tor to succeed Mr.. Quay and that
if the president was willing he
would accept. The president told
him that while it was true that
probably no other man in the coun-
try could quite fill the position of
attorney general as he had filled it,
yet he believed that his services in
the senate would be exceptionally
valuable not only to the state of
Pennsylvania, but to the country.

his contract, deciding. to the Uncom

with the requirements of the govern
ment. The Rollins Investment COM
pany of Denver sent word to Secretary
Mcneil by John f. Pelton of the land
office, that they have sent the contract
to their eastern Office for execution by
the officers of the CORPORATION.
The Colorado and Northwestern
realty company informed the secretary
by mail that it desired to comply with
the requirements of the government,
but would take a number of days to
get the contracts back and forth to
their clients, and asked to be protect
ed in such subscriptions. The govern
ment engineers are now on the ground
and are sanguine that the commission
will be able to recommend that work
be begun on the project in short time.
Said one of the engineers; 1T is a
business proposition. 1t gives to the
land owners perpetual water with but
little more cost than what they now
pay in rent, and do not get the water
when they need it. Those VINO have
priority rights will be compensated
