)rs Il sold and consumed In Chicago,
according to IA recent article In the
Chicago Tribune. st. Louis prohibits
both the slaughter and sale Of "lumpy
law" cattle In that city, and Kansas
City. while 1t permits the slaughterlng
OF such cattle, prohibits the sale Of the
beef.
That Chicago has become the "dump.
ing ground for practically all the
'luinpy jaw" beef In the country was
revealed by food inspectors.
At one plant are slaughtered every
Friday from 100 to 200 head Of "lumpy
jaw" cattle. or these only small
fraction Is condemned as UNIT for con.
sumption. The rest, with the diseased
parts cut out, is sold for prime beef,
aud brings the retailer rs good prices
as the best beef.
This Is possible by reason Of the fact
that the consumer has no way Of telling
whether the beef he buys Is part Of u
"lumpy Jaw" steer or not. II the In.
,pectOrs pass an infected animal, after
the post -mortem inspection. the beef Is
placed In the cooler aud sold just US
any other beef.
Out Of n total days slaughter Of 100
head Of "lumpy Jaw" and otherwise In.
fected animals only twelve car.
cases were condemned after post.
mortem inspection. This means that ut
an average weight Of 100 pounds each
there will be sold In Chicago during
the next few days at least 10000
pounds of ''lumpy jaw" beef. How
much of the same kind OF meat Il
shipped into Chicago from Kansas City
and other places where Its sale II pro.
hibited would be difficult to estimate.
but the quantity II undoubtedly large
In most of the Eastern cities Ordi.
nances are In force prohibiting the sale
of meat from animals with actlnOmy-
COSTS. the scientific name for "lumpy
Jaw" Thus Chicago remains as the
only large market where that class of
cattle may be slaughtered and sold with
profit.
The average weekly receipts of cattle
at the stock yards are 10000 head. and
among these always are found from
100 to 200 animals infected In one
way or another.
The meat inspection law which was
framed up to suit the Beef Trust, does
not provide for microscopic eXamina-
lions and no microscopic examination
Ia made of pork for the purpose OF dis.
covering evidences of trichina.
No wonder that foreign governments
with the good health Of their subjects
In mind are somewhat suspicious of
Beef Trust pork.

The popularity Of this great line has

TESTS WITH PRoJFcThes
CoNINo EXPERIMENTS WITH
THE MONITOR FLORIDA.
Attack to Be Made by the Arkansaa
With the object Of Aseertaining
the Effect Of Shock.

The Navy Department has ISSUED the
following statement in explanation Of the
experiments with hikh-powsr proj&ctiles
and torpedoes against q modern monitor:
THE object Of these experiments 10 to
ton, in q practical way. CONCERNING the
actual effect upon the internal fittings
and other portions Of . ships structure
conditions.
THE Florida. . comparatively modern
ship. was selected because her internal
subdivision permits . very close approx
nation to the framing and interior sub
division Of the latest battieships.
THE tests will be in two series. gun
fire test and Q torpedo test. These tests
will take place under the joint cognixance
Of the bureaus Of construction and repair
and ordnance.
For the former. the Arkansas. sister
ship. win IRE . twtnlve-inch projeetiie
loaded with high explosive. to strike the
Florda's turret with an enerty little
short Of penetration. In such Q way that
most of the fragments will ny across the
bows clear Of the ship. 1t 10 not intend
ed to penetrate the turret armor. and the
against armor or armof against gun, the
effect of the shock only being desired.
The shock, under the conditions above
noted. will be approximately the greatest
that could be experienced in battle. This
will probably be the only shot fred
against armor but another eaarcinS blow
against one side Of the turret may posi-
bly, be decided on.
After the inspection OF the results OF
this test, several shots from the four-inc n
and twelve-inch guns OF the Arkantas
will probably be aimed at the expert.
mental military mast that has been erect.
ed on the stern Of the Florida.
1T Is not desired to make known the
details Of the torpedo test, for obvious
reasons: but 1t will suffice to say that one
or tvs torpedoes may be exploded against
the bottom of the Florida under such con-
ditions that salvage operations, II neces-
sary, will not be difficult. 1t Is not in
tended to destroy the vessel or do more
than local injury, and she WIN be restored
to her former condition OF usefulness 40
soon as practicable after the necessary
experimental data have been obtained.
These tests will probably occur about
the middle of May. and. for obvious
reasons. 1t IL not desired that any but
ofIicials directly concsfned should b pres
emit. The genera! results Of the test, 30
far as may be permissible or proper. will
be given to the press as soon as practi-
cable after the conclusion Of the tests
and the submission Of all reports IN re-
lation thereto"

NEW YORK. April 21.-rhere are some

say that the increased activity and higher
prices for stocks last week were due al
most altogether to manipulation. to pave
the way for important financing by sew

dous oversubscription Of both the Penn

doubtedly the more active stock market
last week was chiefly due to the tremsn-
dous investment demand for the Penn
