WILL COST MONEY.
Secretary Wilson Asks Big ApprOpri.
 ation to Enforce Pure Food Law.

ati0n 10 Enforce Pure Food Law.
 Washington, D. C., Feb 5-"Within five years it is probable that we shall have pure food laws throughout the country that are uniform in standards and in definitions of deliberations" said Secretary Wilson, commenting on the activity of various state lagis- latures in enacting laws which con form closely to the national pure food and drugs act.
 Already many states have on their statute books good laws regulating food products and we are informed that other states have measures pend ing before their legislatures which in a short time will be passed. Ohio has first-rate pure food laws and they are executed by a state food and dairy commission. A pure food bill cor responding with the national law. is pending before the Indiana legisla- ture of Illinois. Several states al- ready have passed laws adopting the definitions and the principles of the law enacted by the congress, among those states being Georgia, Iowa Louisiana, Vermont, and Pennsylvan- ia."
 In a statement made few days ago before the house committee on agriculture, Dr II. H. Wiley. chief of the bureau of chemistry of the de- pertinent of agriculture. predicted that, in brief time. there would be an end to all the confusion in the various states arising from the enact ment of the national pure food law.
 What we want" said he, ''and what is coming is perfect uniformity of standards. This lack of uniform ity has been the cause heretofore of much trouble to manufacturers, be- cause every state had different law, different definitions and different methods of procedure. The result was that when a manufacturer had made iiis goods so that they suited one state and sent them into another state they did not comply with the provisions of the laws of the latter commonwealth. I believe that fin eight or ten years. at most. there will not be state whose laws regarding pure food %ill not be practically uni form with all the resi-
 It was the purpose of the agricul- tural department to employ. in the enforcement of the national law. chemists who work in the pure food departments of the states: but an amendment has been made to the agricultural appropriation bill pro- hibiting the payment of any employe of any state. county or municipal government for such services. By officials of the department this amendment is regarded as a mistake. They believe that it will be scarcely possible to obtain chemists who are familiar with pure-food work without employing some of those now in the service of state ar municipal govern ments. It is pointed out that great majority of chemists are not qualified for this special Kind If work. because they have had m experience in it.
 Secretary Wilson has asked con- gress for an appropriation of sie0 oD to enforce the pure food law, as he figures that it will require about s10Go a year to carry the law into effect in each state.

should be the turn of the man just in, he will be appointed to take that one to sea. If he get to sea with her be. fore the men who come immediately after him with their vessels (some- times he might not, though, for various reasons) his name is placed first on the reserve" list.
 Pilots are put aboard at least 15 ships day; and the next morning the New Jersey. having put so many men on inward bound ships, has to draw her supply from the reserve list of men. There are still three of the old sailboats in commission on what we call the southern group watching for vessels from South and Central Amer. ica and the West Indies.
 In the Sandy Hook service there are 140 pilots and IS apprentices. When the New York and New Jersey pilots amalgamated some years ago and built the two steamboats there was such a predominance of the for. mer in the business that a ratio of expense and profits was agreed upon, the stipulation being that seven parts out of every ten in the profits, work ing expenses, fixed charges and every. thing else should go to the New Workers. The pilots paid for and own both their boats, the New York hay. ing been designed by A. Cary Smith and built at cost close to $90. 900. The New Jersey. being of wood, and of not such expensive construction as the New York, cost s75.000.
 Oldest of the apprentices, of which there are six on one boat and seven on the other. is always known as the boatkeeper, with one boatkeepcr on each boat. He acts as sort of boat. swain and also handles the donkey when launching the yawl. A young man must serve as an apprentice for five years. But before he is even permitted enrolment as such he must serve a certain length of time on ap- probation, according to his lights, to demonstrate whether or not he is fit for the calling at all.
 When he has made good and is ac. cepted, he serves for the five years doing the work of an ordinary fore. mast or deck hand, polishing brass. pulling the yawl. steering, painting splicing and doing all such work about the decks. And. most impor. tant of all. he never ceases to ob- serve and stow away. At the end of five years. if he is apt, he gets his "1S-foot branch" which means that he is now fit to take in or out of the harbor vessels drawing not more than IS feet of water. At this he serves for one year. when he acquires his "22foot branch" at which he also re- mains for one year. at the end of which time he receives his sfull branch" authorizing him to conduct in and out the deepest vessels anoat

charge. and beat his rival. It was then case of the pilot with the swift. est schooner and the greatest daring who won the best berths, but now all that has changed. All the pilots are in one organization. they have their own steamers to carry them out to the place where they pick up the big boats. and they take their turn in piloting them through the narrovs and to their docks
 These boats of the pilots are named the New York and the New Jersey and are powerful. large steamers. about 1s0 feet long. the former built of steel. the latter of wood. The sys- tenn under which they work Is as fol lows: The New York Is known as the station boat and her duty Is to take pilots on the outward bound ships. while the duty of the New ter sey is to put them aboard the inward bound steamships.

HOW OCEAN LINERS ARE GUIDED
 INTO NEW YORK HARBoR.
System Under Which the Navigators Work-Have to Serve a Long Ap- premiership Before Being
 Entrusted with Ships.

Every one, most, knows that the big ocean steamers enter New York har. bor under the guiding hand of pilot who is picked up in the outer harbor, but few know the system under which these men work, or of the long years of training through which they must pass before they are considered quail fed to command one of the great leviathans.

Speaking of denatured alcohol it looks as though congress would fail to act at this session on the proposi- tion to authorize the use of small locked stills by the farmers, says a Washington writer. The denatured alcohol bill was passed because of the pressure from the farmers who had been led to believe they could use their surplus crops and especially corn and potatoes unfit for feeding, by turning them into alcohol to light their houses and run their machinery. But when 1t comes to hauling the same to a distant distil- lery and then buying the alcohol the matter assumes somewhat different aspect. Up to the present the only persons to be benefited are the dis tillers and the manufacturers who can use denatured alcohol in place of pure alcohol. They save the govern ment tax. No doubt congress would be glad to assist the farmers in the matter of denatured alcohol, but the difficulties in the way are very great. Alcohol furnishes large part of the revenues of the government and must be kept under the strictest sort of supervision. The operation of a hun dred thousand stills, even if pad locked and sealed, might easily lead to all kinds of trouble. It will take time and patience to solve the prob- lem.
