In considering the prices OF meat IL
should be stated that the average Eng
lish purchaser prefers the round II
beef. regarding it as making a better
steak than the porterhouse or sirloin.
while the hipbone steak is considered
choicest There is, therefore, a great
market here for rounds of beef and
cuts not popular i'm the United states,
though excellent if properly cooked.

In 1903 DR.. G. p. Merrill was sent out
10 secure cast of it. Arriving at a
little town on the western coast of Mex
leo, DR.. Merrill and the companion who
accompanied him made the trip to the
interior on a blackboard. and. arriving at
the village, lived with the natives. When
the cast had been secured it was taken
to st: Louis. where the model now on
exhibition was made, and this was care
fully brought to Washington. The weight
OF the original is supposed to be approx
mately twenty tons. The Mexican gov
eminent has built small stone house
around the meteorite in order to pre-
serve 1t. 1t is believed to. be the second

just how the fortyfive-foot pole was to

finally decided that. by using the utmost
care and placing the pole sideways it
might be raised without harming the
