pure foods, and with the protective
legislation by Congress on the subject.
the bulletin of the Bureau of Chem
istry. Department of Agriculture. on
Some Forms of Food Authorizations

Since the middle of the laSa century
the subject of food adukeration has
attracted a constantly increasing
amount of attention. In this country,
however, very little was done in this
line until about 1880. In 1881 the
Division o. Chemistry began the study
OF 1000 adulteration, and since then
mas gwen a great deal OF time to the
subject. Since 1898 the origin and
place OF manufacture OF the foods
studied by the Bureau have been care
fully noted and special attention also
given TO imported foods.

Why Land Is q Good Investment

mates that in 1881 the population Of

seryative estimate. To supply the re-
quirements of this number OF people
will necessitate the production OF 700.

Feeds Fowls AutOmaticaUv.

A farmer in Oregon, who owns a
small poultry farm, has devised a novel
method OF feeding his chickens during
his absence. In each yard he has
erected troughs TO hold food for the
hens, and these are connected by wire
with an alarm clock in the farmhouse
"hen the owner leaves home in the
morning he sets the alarm clock at
the hour OF feeding the chickens. and
by an ingenious arrangement. when
the time arrives, the alarm goes off
the connecting wire releases the
troughs, and the food is spread before
the hungry fowls.

Milan, Italy, Aug. 3.-The fire which
started in the international exposition
at o'clock this morning was not
under control till noon. The scene
of the conflagration was in the center
of the most active portion of the ex-
position. The palace of decorative
arts, covering fifteen thousand square
yards and containing four THOUSAND
exhibits, is a mass of ruins. The ar
chitectural pavilion was also destroy
ed containing many exhibits of histor-
ical value. The other fine arts pa
yilion was saved, but many of the
fine paintings were damaged, being
splashed by mud and water. The
loss is now estimated from two to
three million dollars. The statement
OF the Edison Company that the cleo
trio current was shut off caused tha
authorities to investigate the reports
that disgruntled employees were re-
sponsible for the fire.

which sailed from New Orleans some
time since, supposedly for Pensacola,
will not pay visit to Pensacola on
this cruise.
The vessel recently arrived at Key

Havana. Many persons will learn Of
this with regret, as a vessel Of this

It was announced that she would
spend some days here.
