PERIzS IN COLD STORAGE.
Frozen Bacteria Active-G Government
to Make Experiments.

IS wake experiments
The Agricultural Department is fol-
lowing up line of scientific inyestiga-
ton of the effect upon perishable goods
IN cold storage for an unlimited time,
and DR.. Wiley believes that he will de-
yelop the fact that legislation is needed
liking the period for which such ar
t1cles as meats and milks may be
stored.
In one of the Philadelphia cold
storage houses space has been set aside
for the eA 1riments and like arrange
ment has been made in Washington for
storing birds and milk.
The stored articles will be taken out
from time to time and examined to as
certain whether or not deterioration
has begun, and at what period the
point has been reached when the ar
ticles can be no longer stored and re-
main good food.
1t already has been demonstrated,
DR.. Wiley says, that the bacteria that
occasion decay remain in the meat
while frozen, and that they actually
carry on their work, although at a
greatly reduced rate.
In one of the cold storage plants in
Cleveland some meat was recently
found which had been mislaid and for
gotten for period of eleven years. 1t
was sent to the department and por-
tion thawed out and examined.
Decay had gone on to such an extent
that the meat was entirely UT for
use. The greater portion of it was
again placed in storage and the obser-
walton will be continued The fact that
the meat, having been frozen for eleven
years, was in a condition of decay is
held to conclusively prove that the
bacteria can work in the meat while
frozen. The object of the investigation
is to ascertain at what point the decay
has progressed to such an extent as to
injure the food value of the article
stored.
There is at present no law prohibit
ing the storage of any article for any
length of time. The only law upon the
subject is one that requires fowls to be
drawn before they are placed in stor-
age.

the public press as to which system
was better: the American custom
which ordained the sack suit in busi-
ness and change of raiment for
laborers after hours; or the English
custom which set the frock coat up
as the emblem of respectability among
tradesmen, mark distinguishing
them from the laboring classes and
kept the latter in blouse and hob
nailed boots during his hours of rest.
In England they talk a lot of what
seems awful rot to this side of the
water, and they take clothes very
seriously. Each class has it's gar
ments and each garment its use.
In London the Tuxedo is still a
lounge coat, something to be slipped
on during the early evening and dis
carded for the formal swallow tail"
before starting for any entertainment.
But the American has forced it into
public life, has ordained a black tie
and gold shirt studs with it, in place

Yet some West End tailoring estab-
lishments in London depend for their
very existence on American trade, not
alone the trade of Americans travel
ing abroad, but mail order business
which entails making on measure
ments and forwarding by express,
likewise payment of duty. So impor-
tant is this business that cable code
has been arranged. With this code,
a complete catalog and full directions
for self measurement, man may
cable his order TO London, and feel
reasonably certain that the clothes he
wants will leave England by the next
westward bound steamer.

When he needs suit he dashes into
one Of those immense haberdasheries
that dot both sides of Broadway from
the Battery to the Bronx, where
thousands of 'ready for service" suits
and overcoats are piled on long tables
in stacks that rise above a mans
head. Here are found prices and sizes
to fit every customer. Sack suits
from $3 to $50 advertised for cut and
smartness. They are smart, too, are
better cut and sewn than the English
cheap suit, but the latter is made of
better material. 1t is just this differ
ence that makes the American crowd
look smart and prosperous, while the
English crowd looks merely comfort

GREAT RIVER DRYING UP.
Tho zambesi, in Africa, Reported to
Be Rapidly Decreasing In
Volume,

Zanzibar, East Africa. = There are
signs that the greatest river in Africa,
the Zambesi, is drying up. Navigation
in that portion OF the river which is
free from rapids and cataracts is be-
coming increasingly difficult. A num-
Der of vessels are lying on the mud
at points which ten years ago were be-
low water for eight months of the
year.
Commerce is greatly hindered, goods
sent by water up-riyer having occu-
pied three months in travelling the 375
miles to Blantyre, the capital of Brit
ish Central Africa.
AS remedy for this phenomenon,
which is certainly not the result of
drought, it is proposed to construct a
railway from the port of Quilimane to
Port Herald, British trading station.

MAIL MATTER GOES WRONG
Name Of Indian Territory Post Office
Causes Much Delay and
Trouble.

South McAlester, 1. T.-As soon as
the post Office department authorizes
a change in the name of the post Office
here from South McAlester to McAles-
ter, in conformity with a recent act Of
congress merging the two towns, more
than score of local corporations will
be required to hold meetings of their
stockholders and vote onathe question
of dropping the word South" from
the official title of their institutions.
One OF the local national banks has
already called meeting of stockhold-
ers to take this action. Confusion In
mail, freight and express continues, as
the railroads have taken no oognizance
OF the change In the oity's name. and
until the postal authorities and rail-
roads recognize the adjustment Of
South McAlester, all matter addressed
to McAlester goes to the old town by
that name, and is then carted back to
South McAlester.

FIND sUBTERR.sNEAN LAKE.
Body of Water Under West Virginia
Town Causes Fear Among the
Residents,

Richmond, Va-Charlestown, w,
| Va. located just across the state line
from Winchester, Is in ferment Of
excitement over the discovery of tre-
mendous subterranean lake and cav
ern directly beneath the town and
near enough to the crust of the earth
to make the situation precarious to
the Inhabitants.
Men blasting made the discovery of
the lake cavern when the discharge
caused the earth to crumble and fall
In. leaving a great hole. j. NJ. Mily,
OF the Standard Oil company, together
with a party of the workmen, ven
tured into the cavern, exploring it
Tor considerable distance. They dis
covered the presence of lake, and,
returning to the surface, procured a
small boat in which they rowed about
Tor several hundred yards. They
were afraid to venture farther into
the bowels Of the earth without pro-
curing lights and taking proper pre-
cautions and safeguards to facilitate
their return.
M1iy in an interview said that there
are limestone formations in the cav
ern similar to those in the noted
Luray caverns. The water of the lake
is remarkably pure and is cold and
sweet to the TASTE
An expert with electric lights made
further exploration of the cavern,
confirming the report previously made
by Mr.. Mily He was unable, how
ever, to go across the lake, the extent
OF which is therefore unknown. Since
the cavern runs from the point Of
discovery directly under the city Of
Charlestown. the inhabitants are in
1srment for fear lest the ground
fall In, burying or drowning them and
destroying their property. Many peo-
pie have already left the city and
sought temporary homes in other To-
calities.
A systematic exploration Of the cav.
ern will be instituted and continued
until the work is done. In the mean
time experts will be called upon to
solve the problem as to whether there
Is any danger to the city.
