Canned Meats Keep indefinitely.
DIR. Melvin gave it as his opinion that
canned meats kept under favorable con-
ditions and alright would keep indefn-
itely.
Each year there were from eight to a
dozen plants which had applied for in
spection, but which from lack of funds
the bureau was unable TO give. DR.. Mel
vim said that In Germany the inspec-
tion covered two-thirds of the product,
while ours covered from 60 to So per cent.
In Argentine and Australia there Is no in
spection.
Mr.. Wilson, representing the packers.
said at this point: THE Japanese govern
ment sent a committee of officials who
made an inspection of the plants and
methods, after which they bought many
hundred thousand cases of goods. Rus
sia during the war was a large purchaser,
but without inspector or examination. Oc-
| casionally other countries made an exam
| ination of the plants and method.
| George p. McCabe, solicitor for the de-
| partment, took practically the same view
as to the right to require sanitation in
interstate trade that MIR. Cowan took. He
did not believe Congress had the right
to make the violation of federal sanitary
conditions a misdemeanor subject to a
| penalty.
In reply to question by Chairman
| Wadsworth, DIR. Melvin said the only
foreign complaint as to American meat he
had ever received was as to three or four
barrels of pigs feet that went down to
South America and were spoiled in transit.
The hearing closed with the days testi-
mony.
! After a short executive session the
| committee decided to take up the inspec-
ton amendment Monday for considera-
| ton with the view of reporting it to the
House as soon as possible.
| A second teegraphic request of Upton
Sinclair. author of 1.-The Jungle" to- be
heard was considered and the committee

Moral suasion and the withdrawal of the

made the department loath to withdraw
the inspection. The cost of the govern

cattle. 1Ac for hogs and 1%c for sheep.
The proposed sanitary inspection would

the recent escape Of a lion at one Of

that 1t must have been something of a
scare.

could induce him to face that yelling
mob and get back to where he knew
he was safe. He Is the gentlest old
fellow in the world and would never
have wandered out had he not been
frightened by the man who fell into
the cage from the cycle whirl above.
OF course that upset him, and when
he saw the door open he naturally ran
out.
Then the people made such noise
that his one idea was to flee. The
more he ran the more they yelled. and
when we did get him back 1t was
hours before he stopped trembling.

form Of cell-devotion is peculiar to the
Carthusian order, which has practiced
1t from the earliest times.
The Carthusian monks do not even
go out to meals; but each repast is
brought to the cell and pushed through
species of trap-door. This opera.
tion is performed in silence. neither
the one bringing the meal nor the re.
cipient saying a word. The meal is
brought in three separate cans. like
a workman's dinner pail. The bottom
can contains soup; the second fish;
the third two kinds Of vegetables and
some fruit. A bottle Of wine is also
served with the dinner.
No meat is eaten; the Carthusians
being strict vegetarians. Concerning
this vegetarian diet, the strictest rules
prevail. Even II monk is dying, and
meat should be ordered by a doctor,
it is not given. All the monks are
hearty and robust looking; and their
health certainly speaks well for their
form of diet.

A long pike. frozen In the center
OF a large cake of ice, caused sew
eral dead game sports to lose bunch
OF money last night. The fish and
the block of ice reposed on the back
bar Of well-known thirst parlor and
the pike was viewed with curiosity.
Finally someone started a discussion
by stating that II the fish were re.
leased from its prison Of ice 1t would
revive and continue to live just as II
there had never been any Ice. An
other gent disagreed with the first and
a general argument followed.
One fellow said that that was the
way fish spent the winter months, reg
ularly. Like snakes, he said, they re-
mained in, q comatose condition all
winter and when the ice melted in
the springtime they were just as
frisky as II summer had continued all
winter. The discussion became very
heated and bets amounting to several
hundred dollars were laid on both
sides of the question at issue. The
cake of ice was split and the fish
placed In a tub of lukewarm water,

reservoir outside the city gates for

which rivals the famous Simplon.
DR.. Bertholet of the University of

"Hezekiah fortified his city by bring

the solid rock by means of bronze.
and he collected the water in reser-

The tunnel leads into the pool OF
Sloan and is 800 yards long. Work
was carried on from both ends, as is
proved by an Inscription in the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,
picks, etc., which show the direction
in which the excavation was made.

From Private to Commander.

Lieutenant Colonel Gordon Carter,
First British Life guards, who retires
under the age limit, is one of the
most remarkable examples of rising
from the ranks. The son of farmer,
he enlisted as a trooper in the life
guards in 1873. and after serving eight
years in the ranks WAS appointed rid
ing master. A year later he became
adjutant of the regiment and passed
from rank to rank till in 1902 he was
appointed lieutenant colonel and sec
ond in command. 1t rarely happens
that ranker receives commission
in the regiment in which he has served
and Col. Gordon Carter was the first,
if not the only. trooper who ever rose
to the command of regiment Of
household cavalry.
