Methods of Detecting tuberculosis

! tuberculosis among cattle and
swine has increased rapidly during
the last few years. 1t is becoming
a general recognized fact that some
thing must be done to check the
spread of this malady. Before any
thing definite can be done in the way
of preventive measures, some sure
method of detecting the disease must
lbe available. The tuberculin test is
ithe only means that has been dis
covered SO far by which the disease
can be detected with certainty in a
live animal. The test has been much
abused and misrepresented. In Bull
letin No. 107 of the Iowa Experiment
Station, DR.. Strange shows the fall
lacy of the stand taken by those who
oppose the test, and proves that 1t is
by citing long list of experiments
which the Veterinary Section has
conducted along this line.
The latter part of the bulletin
gives the results that have been OBJ
tanned in quarantining affected ami
mails and using them for breeding
purposes. Condensed reports of ex-
periments that have been conducted
by the Animal Husbandry Section to
determine whether or not tubercu-
losis can be transmitted from cattle
to hogs are also given. This bulletin
is a mine of information to stock
men and others interested in the tu-
berculosis problem. Copies can be
obtained free as long as the supply
lasts. Address Chas. F. Curtiss, Di-
rector Iowa Experiment Station,
Ames, Iowa.

DIPLOMATIC RECEPTION

The reception at the house of the
secretary Of state on New Years day
is by all odds the most spectacular
function Of the year in Washington.
All the diplomats are in full uniform.
with much gold embroidery and gilt
tering decorations. barring few from
the Latin American republics. who ap-
pear in plain evening dress. though it
is the noon hour. 1t Is a scene Of
brilliancy and glitter. One recognizes
the members of the German embassy
by their costumes of white broadcloth
and silver. The Chinese. numerous
staff, are gaudy in silk gowns. The
British ambassador. Mr.. Bryce. is east
ly identified by his coat of blue cloth
and gold. with white knee breeches.
white silk stockings. gold shoe buckles,
silk shoulder belt gold mounted sword
and cooked hat of black beaver with
white ostrich feather.
Nobody is asked to sit down. When
all the guests have arrived, Mr.. Knox
will offer his arm to Nine. DIES Plan
ches, Mrs. Knox will take the arm Of
the ambassador and they will lead the
way into the dining room, where an
elaborate luncheon-or breakfast, if
one prefers is spread. There will be
unlimited champagne. with salads, ices
and whatever. else may crafty the
appetite.
When the function is over. ut about
] p. m, the wives of the diplomats
will so to their own homes and spend
the rest of the day receiving. The
ambassadors ministers and smaller
fry Of male sex will call on the vice
president, the members of the cabinet,
the senator's, the speaker of the house
of representatives. the justices of the
supreme court and the members of the
committee of foreign relations of the
house. They will also call on the
wives of one another. 1t will be Il
tremendously busy day for them-a
continual dashing about from place to
place in multitude of cabs-and the
social task, which is to them as a
necessary official duty. will not come
to an end until nearly midnight, when
they will be glad to crawl into bed,
exhausted. but delighted that New
Years will not arrive again for an
other twelyemonth.

IA the world Il happy New Year
1 "A The tick Of the time signal in
strument in the United States
naval observatory at Washington
flashes Americas greeting to the ma
lions Of the world.
This sending forth of Il New Year
greeting is sentimental in its nature
perhaps. but it is practical in its illus
tration of the accurate time service
that has been adopted by the United
States and the organization of stand
ard time schedule in this country,
which it is hoped some day will extend
throughout the world So these New
Year greetings of Uncle Sans. which
have become an annual feature of the
national observatory, give an object
lesson to the nations that may lead to
as great a reform in universal time
system as Pope Gregory instituted in
the correction of the Julian calendar.
The first of these New Year messages
was sent out in 1908, the telegraph
companies entering into the project
with great interest and energy The
signals were transmitted at midnight
and l. 2 and 3 Il. M, SO that each great
section of the country received its own
midnight signal direct from the naval
observatory. SO successfully was the
plan carried out and SO general was
the interest In it that it was decided
to make 1t a feature thereafter.
Some of the messages sent out on
these occasions are received in an in
credibly short time. For instance, the
time signal last year was received at
Sydney. Australia, in two and one
fourth seconds: at Madras, India, in a
at Cape Town. Africa, in two minutes
and thirty-fire seconds; at Madrid,
Spain. In two and one-half minutes; at
Lick observatory, Mount Hamilton.
California, in twenty four one-hun-
dredths of a second. and at Harvard
observatory. Cambridge, in one-tenth
| of second.
The Importance of this time service
| is evidenced by the fact that it fur
nishes absolute standard time for not
only navigators at all the chief seaports
of the United States, but for the entire
country except the Pacific coast, which
receives a similar service from the
naval observatory at the Mare Island
| yard. When it is understood that the
service is rendered at no expense what
ever to the government. being merely
incidental to the work required for the
rating Of chronometers for naval YES
sells, the results attained will appear ali
the more acceptable. The time signal
is sent out daily ut noon on seventy
fifth meridian time, with an average
error for the year of only fifteen hun
| dredths Of second The signal goes
| over the wires Of the various telegraph
and telephone companies. regulating
eighteen government time balls and
10000 public and private clocks
throughout the country.
The accuracy required in the opera
ton may be appreciated when 1t IS
| known that the minutest fractions oil
seconds are shaved into infnitesima
quantities that almost rival the twin
king Of the hair splitting tmeseepel
of ancient lndia.-New York Times.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

New Years is the hardest day in the
twalvemonth for the diplomats in
Washington. 1t is not too much to
say that they look forward to it with
dread. And no wonder. inasmuch as it
is the only day in the year on which
they are really obliged to work The
trouble begins at the White House.
where they are expected to present
themselves at II a. in. sharp in all
their most elaborate and gorgeous toys.
for at that hour the presidents New
Years reception begins. and after the
vice president and the members of the
cabinet have shaken hands with MIR.
raft it is the diplomats next turn.
For the common people, who will
follow in thousands. a master of cere-
monies-the presidents chief military
aid. Captain Butt-will act rs intro-
ducer. But for the purpose of present
ing the members of the diplomatic
corps this function is performed by tile
secretary of state. Mr.. Knox.
In earlier days there was great
struggle among the diplomats at WASH
ipgton for precedence. and many bick-
erings arose. All such annoyances
were happily done away with, how
ever, by the laying down of rule to
the effect that representatives of for
eign powers should take rank in the
order of the dates of their credentials.
Thus on New Years day the first
member of the corps to greet the pres
ident will be the dean of the diplomat
ic colony at the capital.
At exactly 11:15 of the clock this off,
eial, in gorgeous array, the entire front
of his coat covered with gold lace and
a cooked hat under his left arm, will
be introduced to the president by Mr..
Knox. He is dean Of the diplomatic
corps by reason Of the fact that he Is
the ambassador Of longest service In
washington. Following him win come
