Food Adulteration.

German food adulteration is the
subject of a report received by the
Bureau of Manufactures from Consu
Britain, of Kiel, DR.. Jackenack, o1
Berlin, states that there were in Ger
many in 1881 1,400 prosecutions fol
adulteration of food products; in 1895
the number had increased to 5000:
in 1901, 1856, and in 1908 to 5000.
With increased stringency in thi
inspection laws, it was discovered thai
many large and reputable firms were
carrying on privately special depart,
ments Of their factories, where regu-
lar chemists were employed to scien
tifically adulterate their food products
Wines, chocolates, cocoa, brandies, but
ter, sausages and medicines have beer
discovered to contain abundantly il
furious and dangerous substances usec
for adulteration. Cosmetics and per.
fumes contain many foreign ingredi
ents. In fact, according to a Strass
burg paper, there seems to have beer
few articles of manufactured fooc
and drink products which have moi
been the subject of adulteration on the
part Of German manufacturers.

Take Up Law Practice.

Marked evidence Of this reform
which is sweeping China ca1 be seen
in a recommendation Of commission
ers named by the government to re-
wise the code governing Chinese le-
gal procedure, which was recently
submitted to the empress dowager and
emperor for their consideration.
Two revolutionary changes i'll the
legal procedure of China are suggest
ed. These are the right of trial by
jury and the employment of attorneys
for the defense of criminals. Never in
the history of China has the practice
of law been recognized as reputable
profession.
From the report of the commission
ers which has just been submitted to
the State department it may be seen
that Japan's action in bringing its
legal procedure into harmony with
other court methods have induced the
Chinese commissioners to suggest the
abolition of the present antique meth
DDS of that empire for the methods in
vogue among all Western nations.
AS the changes suggested by the
commission, if put into effect, would
necessitate the employment Of hun
dreds Of lawyers throughout the prov
inces, the commissioners make arrange
ments for the preparation of Chinese
to undertake this legal work. They sug
gest that henceforth in each Of the
provincial schools, a definite number
of students of good character, Csc
rious-minded and we'll versed in the
law" shall be selected, which after
they have completed their courses,
shall be examined and if found quail
fed shal be given diplomas and ap-
portioned among the provinces to ar
que cases before the courts.

Britain $ Big Battleship.

The publication Of the "white
book" in London giving some infor-
nation concerning the main features
Of tho large English battleship Dread
naught has caused some discussion
among naval officers in regard to the
construction Of ship which will equal
the Dreadnaught as seafghting ma
chine. It is pointed out that the Uni
ted States now has under construction
two ships, the Michigan and South
Carolina, which are equal to the Dread
naught in broadsiie battle. These two
ships can fire eight 12-inch guns on
either side, and that is all that can
be done by the Dreadnaught. The lat
ter, however, could fire six 12-inch
guns dead ahead, whereas the Michi-
gan and South Carolina could fire but
four. 1t is pointed out, however, that
very little fighting is done head-on,
and that the effective fighting of a
battleship is her broadside. Another
difference between the latest type OF
the American and English battleship
is that in broadside action all of the
12-inch guns of the American ships
can be utilized, while two of the 12-
inch guns of the English ships must
be inactive. The advantage Of the En-
glish ship is in greater speed, but she
has a disadvantage in a larger target
surface.

WAR ON BAD MEAT
Secretary Wilson Announces
Plan of Procedure.
REGULATIONS SPECIFIED
Details Of Campaign Far-Reaching in
Effect-AIi Meats Showing Slight
est Deterioration Will Be
Destroyed.

A Washington special says: Secre-
tary Wilson of the agricultural de-
partment, Friday, made public the reg
ulations under the new law governing
the inspection of meat products for
interstate and foreign trade. The
regulations are stringent throughout,
and are in line with the best au-
thorities on the subjects of SANTA
ton, preservatives, dyes, chemicals
casses.
All animals, carcasses and meat
products will be subjected to rigid
inspection.
The sanitation regulations require
the establishments in which animals
are slaughtered, cured, packed, stored
or handled to be, suitably lighted and
to be maintained in sanitary con-
dition.
Managers of establishments will not
be permitted to employ any person
affected with Tuberculosis in any OF
the departments where carcasses are
dressed, meats handled or meat food
products prepared. Butchers who dress
diseased carcasses are required to
cleanse and disinfect their hands and
implements before touching healthy
carcasses. Employees who are un-
clean and careless of person will not
be allowed to handle meats.
The provision relating to dyes,
chemicals and preservatives is stl-in-
gent. No meat or meat food product
for interstate commerce shall contain
any substance which lessons its
wholesomeness, nor any drug, chem
ical OF dye, unless specifically provid-
ed for by a federal statute, or any
preservative other than common salt,
sugar, wood smoke, vinegar, pure
spices and, pending further inquiry,
saltpeter.
Meats and meat food products for
export may contain preservatives in
proportions which do not conflict with
the laws of the foreign country to
which they are exported, but all meats,
or meat food products, so prepared
for export, must be treated and kept
in compartments OF the establish
ments separate and apart from those
in which meats and meat food prod
ucts are prepared for interstate conf
merce, specifically labelled and certi-
fed and stamped with the word "spe-
cial"
All animals suspected of disease
on this ante-mortem inspection shall
be slaughtered separately and apart
from all other animals under the care
full supervision of federal inspec-
tors.
Special provision is made for de-
struction for food purposes of all
carcasses and parts of carcasses and
meat food products which, upon in
spection or reinspection, prove to be
unclean, unsound, dnhealthful, un-
wholesome or otherwise unfit for hu-
man food.

NEWS AND NOTES
TRNs OF INTEREST BRIEFLY!
CHRoNICLED.
The Pests are Being Scientifically
Eliminated in Hawaii By Means
of Goldfish Minnows are Also
Valuable.

Washington. Mosquitoes are beng
scientifically exterminated In Hawai-
by means of a species of mosquito eat
ing goldfish which are described In an
official communication which has just
reached Washington. Mosquito eating
fish are known in the Mississippi Val
ley and certain parts OF Mexico.
The only fishes in Hawaii which
feed on the mosquitoes in small ponds
are the different kinds of gobies and
the native goldfish. Neither Hawai-
nor California possessed as native
fish the hardy minnow, but on hear
ing from DR.. Jordan that it was the
best mosquito eating fish, and could
be readily transported to the island.
Governor Carter brought the subject
of it's importation to the attention OF
the Territorial Legislature and al
appropriation was voted. The Cali
fornia expert, Prof. Scale, has been
commissioned to make the journey to
the lands adjacent to the Gulf OF
Mexico and bring back his catches 20
Hawaii.
The expert is aware that the chief
difficulty will not be in obtaining the
goldfish at the start, but in regulating
their artificial diet until he can trans
port them the great distance to the
Pacific Islands. He has already plan
ned to provide for his temporary pris-
oners a huge tank, in which while the
ship sails the Pacific the huge number
of mosquitoes will be cajoied into their
customary activities in the breeding
line for the express purpose OF provld-
ing fresh food each day for the gold
fish until anchor has been dropped IN
Honolulu harbor.
When the Hawaii mosquitoes are
thus exterminated, even if it be be-
fore the completion of the Panama
Canal, full details will be made known
through the Appropriate bureau depart
ments Of the Federal Government. OPP
portunity will be given to contrast the
automatic activities of the mosquito
eating goldfish with the cumbersome
and costly drainage system, which
merely removes the temporary domi-
cile of the pest, or with oil treatment,
which touches the financial nerve as
painfully as the mosquitoes bill reach
es elsewhere.

Contract Work.

It is said at the War Department
that there have been but two COM
plants during the past two years OF
violations of the eight hour law by gov
ernment contractors. The last of these
occurred at Fort Wingate, N. NJ
where house mechanics were worked
ten hours a day, but the contractor
complained that there was a real emel
gency for this, as it was necessary to
rush the work and have his materials
in hand and wrought up before al,
transportation facilities were absorb
ed by the large movements Of Toops
attending the maneuvers.

Regulations of the Steamboat In

in some particulars, most Of the amend
ments being purely administrative
The regulations just promulgated pro
vide, however, that the masters Of
passenger barges shall have to taks
out hereafter license from the Gov.
ernment.
Another of the regulations provides
for the use in life-saving work Of
a life-saving shoulder gun, which will
throw line about 800 feet. This is to
be used in some instances in place OF
the cannon, which heretofore has been
used in the throwing of life lines.
