MEAT TESTS
MOST RIGID
Government inspection Laws
Said to Be Best in the
World

If anyone thinks that the meat in
spection law is ineffective let him
spend a few hours in one of tho local
packing houses where government in
spection is enforced. see the thorough
manner in which it is carried on ana
notice the number OF condemnations
made.
1t IS said that there is no country in
the world that has as good meat in
spection laws as the United States.
Notwithstanding The fact that the laws
of most foreign countries are thought
To be rigid I'M this respect Germany
falls below this country in meat in
spectlon. In Germany, while the meat
is inspected and quantities of it con-
demned, still this condemned meat is
thoroughly boiled and sold at a low
figure to the poorer classes. who are
willing TO purchase it. There" as an
inspector at one of the packing
houses expressed Il. "the condemned
meat is not good enough for the rich
man. but good enough for the poor
one, while in this country the rich and
the poor are treated alike. What is
too bad for one is too bad for the
other and all condemned meat is de-
stroyed"
Of Thorough Order
What. then, about this inspection,
and what manner of men are the in
spectors? In answer to the first part
of the question it can be said that the
inspection is thorough, and covers the
animals from the time they are put
into the slaughtering pens until they
are put into cases to be shipped. Al
each packing-house where the business
done is large enough "a justify it one
or more veterinary surgeons are sta
toned 1t is the business OF these vet
erinarans to make ante-mortem eN-
aminatiOns of the animals killed
Where the business done is not large
enough 10 justify veterinarian being
kept all of the time, arrangements
have been made so that he can be al
one slaughtering-house at one time
and at another house at another time
and these houses can only kill at sucl
times as he is present. These veteri'
narians must all be graduates Of some
recognized veterinary college, and
they must have passed a civil service
examination They are constantly
being changed from one place t'
another and from one city to another
This is done to prevent their becom
ing friendly with any of the packers
and to insure better service. Th'
penalty for attempting to bribe on'
OF the officials is 10000 In addition
to the veterinarians. meat Inspector
are stationed at each pacSing-house
and these, like the former, are con
stanuy being changed.
Suspees Are Tagged
When the animals are taken to tn
pens to be slaughtered the veterinar
ian inspects them on foot. If he find
any that show a diseased condition n
tags them as suspects, and when thes
animals are slaughtered the suspec
tags must be brought to him at once

TAFT DEFENDS THE
BACHELOR Girl

CINCINNATI. O, May Secretary
OF War Taft, before the students of
the University of Cincinnati, strongly
defended the bachelor girl He said:
ANY woman that marries because
she thinks she has to, makes a great
mistake. She must not think that To
benefit mankind she must necessarily
have to become wife and mother.
Matches are said TO be made in heaven.

The Axial Rotation of Venus,

For over two centuries it was gener-
ally accepted that, like the earth, the
planet Venus rotated on its axis in a
little less than twenty-four hours. but
since schiaparelli after long and care
full observation of the planet suggest
ed that the actual rotation period was
between six and nine months astron-
omers have devoted much attention to
this matter. In the Observatory Mr..
Denning sums up the available evil
dence on the point and can only con-
clude that this particular problem still
deties solution. Life on Venus would
be very different from life on the earth
should the planets avail rotation be,
as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with
the period Of its revolution round the
sun, as in that case the same hemi-
sphere would always be turned to the
sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the
opposite hemisphere would be doomed
to eternal night.

The Gods Bill of Fare.

An interesting exhibit in the South
Kenslngton museum, London, illus
trates the omnivorous nature of the
Gods diet. Among the fish falling Il
prey to Its vornclous maws we note
the young of the herring, dab, whiting
and sand eel. Shrimps and young lob
sters also form an important item In
the Gods mem. The strangest part of
the Gods diet perhaps is the sea mouse,
whose thick covering of bristles might
be thought to render 1t unwelcome to
any stomach. Large whelks and shells
of whelks with their indwelling hermit
crabs are also largely devoured. From
its Partially to mollusks, in fact the
cod may become an assistant. 10 the
