SENT IN REFRIeERAToRs.

How dependent England is on the
outside world for the food which her
people require is set forth in the re-
port on refrigerated produce, present
ed In a consular report In spite Of the
careful fostering of home industries
intended to provide the food supply
of the United Kingdom, the imports Of
provisions arc regularly increasing,
Instead of drawing on nearby coun-
tries, the English people are looking
more and more to their colonies in
distant parts Of the world for these
supplies. This is made possible by
the present methods of refrigeration.
There are 35S ships engaged in the
trade Of the United Kingdom that are
fitted in part or throughout with a
total refrigeraung capacity of 36,266.-
900 cubic feet OF this number, II
ships, with capacity Of 3,341, 900 GU
bic feet for perishable produce, bring
supplies from the United States; from
Australia and New Zealand, 90 ships.
with 15,514.000 cubic feet cold storage
capacity, bring chiefly beef. mutton.
and butter; from Canada come AZ
ships. with 1928, 900 cubic feet capaci

ucts. The number OF ships coming
from South America carrying refriger-
ated cargo Is not given, but their ca
pacity for this class of goods is placed
at 7,611,0OO cubic feet.
The port of London is at the head of
the list in the number of vessels and

REBUILDING MEssINA.

The terrible earthquake Of but a
few days ago has been forgotten and
now Messina and Reggie are TO be re-
built. The reconstruction OF the cit
les Of Messina, Reggie. Palmo. Bag
nara, etc. having been decided upon,
the italian government WILL as soon as
the debris left by the earthquake shall
have been cleared away, direct the en-
rtneer corps of the civil state. or a
special commission composed of mem
bers of that corps, To proceed to divide
the areas selected for reconstruction
into building lots. These lots will be
bid for by Italian and foreign contract
tors who may wish to undertake the
construction of new buildings thereon.
Anticipating the time when the loca-
tion and dimensions OF the lots Will be
made known, the Public Works Coop
erative Society OF Lombardy announ-
ces that II will hold public compeu-
ton 10 demonstrate the relative merits
OF various materials and methods of
work and construction adapted for
use In the devastated regions.
3 While the competition will deal es-
pccially with types and systems of
construction for urban. rural, and In
dustrial edifces least likely to be af-
fected by seismic disturbance, the
widest latitude will be given competi-
tors regarding the exhibits.
From present indications 1t seems
likely that steel and reinforced con-
crete will be widely used In the work
of reconstruction and that the height
of buildings will be limited to
thirty.three feet. 1t Is also probable
that only the very lightest materials
will be used for floors, ceilings and
roofs

CHINA CONSUMING MILK.

Vice Consul Willard B. Hull, Of Can
ton, writes that there is growing de-
mand for canned milk in southern
China and that the German and Swiss
products are becoming keen rivals for
the trade which was at one time al
most entirely American. His trade re-
view will therefore be of interest:
The consumption Of canned milk
among the Chinese Is on the increase,
and many Of the stores now handling
these prepared milks report that large
quantities Of the various brands are
being taken by the Chinese. The
Chinese have never used any great
quantities Of milk, as they usually al
low the calf to take all the milk for It's
nourishment, in order to later have
another animal, and fearing that the
calf will die II deprived of any part OF
the milk No dairy farms exist except
In the various foreign settlements and
colonies. In fact, among the Chinese
fresh milk Is practically never used.
owing to its scarcity There is every
Indication, however, that the Chinese
are beginning to realize the value of
milk as food, and when once the use
of II becomes general the manufac.
turers of the canned product should
find large market In this country.
The bulk of the milk imported from
Hongkong Is American product The
importations into Canton during 1907
amount TO 9l.023 dozens of tins, valued
at s33,3sS.

That is why we loathe at times the
smell of paint that Is on civilization
and long for the perfume OF the life

NEW PENAL
CODE MADE
LAW
Both Houses Of Congress
Adopt Report of Com
mission.

Washington, Marsh "a new penal
code was enacted into law today
through the adoption In both houses
OF congress Of the conference report
on the bill drafted by a Joint commits
sion originally appointed in 1897. and
reappointed at the close of the 5eth
congress.
The second commission consisted OF
Senators Hepburn. Switzerland, Pilos,
Clhrke, Clarke OF Arkansas and MIL
lard and Representatives. Moon. Of
Pennsylvania; Parson OF New York;
DENLY, Of Michigan: Sherley, Of Ken
lucky, and Houston OF Tennessee The
bill Is comprehensive and coherent
revision and compilation OF practically
all the purely penal laws.
For several days there has been a
hilibuster In the senate, led by Clarke
of Arkansas, against the section re-
lating to the use of troops where gen.
eral or special elections are held.
Finally the conferees struck out the
provision relating TO the keeping OF
peace at the polls, because II was
recognized that federal troops are not
now used for that purpose. The con-
ferees also dropped all reference TO
the statute Of 1875, which forbids dis
elimination on account of race or color
In the selection Of grand or petit ju-
rors, but left the law as 1t was origi-
nally enacted.
The commission found 1t difficult to
make uniform laws that would operate
In all states, among these being the
prohibitory laws. It was found that
this class of cases can only be covered
by a general statute.
The Knox amendment makes an act
penalized by the law of the state an
offense against the federal government
when committed within the state or
upon any place subject to the exclu-
sive jurisdiction of the federal govern
ment. The revision defines more
clearly the jurisdiction Of the federal
court over cases coming under the
admiralty and marine law; 1t enlarges
the statute so as TO reach modern de-
velopments as to new methods Of COM
mitting crime and the extension OF
American territory; 1t prohibits not
only obscene" literature, but filthy"
literature from the malls, II eliminates
some Of the so-called "Kuklux laws"
Practically the only new legislation js
that to punish leaks" of government
statistical information and the regu-
lation Of interstate shipments Of In
toxjcating liquors. In order that any
serious error might be corrected, the
bill does not become effective until
January l, 1910, enabling congress,
when 1t meets next December, to cor.
rect any serious mistake or omission.
A joint resolution was adopted con-
tinuing the commission to codify the
laws other than the criminal statute.
In accordance with the instructions to
the commission when originally ap-
pointed.

COPPER IN ALASKA

Work is progressing favorably on
the Copper river railroad in Alaska.
according to a private letter received
here recently. This road Is being con-
structed by the Guggenheims, from
Cordova on the ocean TO the great cop
per deposits in the interior. 1t is one
of the most difficult engineering feats
on the continent. The line strikes
across the Copper river flats, as they
are called. TO the river itself and then
follows the stream TO the head of the
Copper's enormous delta. The river
is then crossed to the cast side and is
followed for two or three miles; then
recrossed again to the west These
crossings are made necessary by the
ChilJs and Miles glaciers, which come
to the river and discharge enormous
quantities Of Ice during the summer.
The only route up the Copper is by
crossing between the glaciers and
starting from Cordova Each bridge
will be 1900 feet long. The upper one
will in all probability be made up of
several spans, as there are two bars
that can be used for sites for piers.
AS immense icebergs will pass under
these bridges. especially the upper one
for the Ice rapidly crushes and dis.
integrates after leaving the glaciers
the problem OF construction is a little
out OF the ordinary
The objective point at present is the
Bonanza mine, 200 miles from Cordova.
Then there is the coal line, which Joins
the main line between the glaciers
and runs thence nearly parallel 10 the
river and the coast, about 67 miles to
the Bering river coal fields. where
there IS an apparently inexhaustible
supply Of excellent coal.
