THE EXPENSES
TO KEEP WITHIN LIMIT
District Contagious Disease
Service Badly Punched by
Lack of Funds.

Reductions in pay and an unlocked for
transfer. together with the resignation of
one of the best known District en-
ployes were announced today by the
Commissioners, following a recommended
ton from DIR. Woodward. health officer,
who has found his contagious disease
service badly pinched for lack of funds.
Dr. f. l.. LIE Merle will be transferred
from the conta gious disease service to the
department of food and sanitary inspec-
ton. NJ. l.. Granville's resignation has
been accepted. and c. f. Powell and A.
$. Woodland, inspectors, will have re-
duction of 800 and 500 year, respect
lively.
These changes are made necessary be-
cause DR. Woodward cannot run the con-
tons placed upon the expenses by Con-
gress. The appropriation now in effect
gives the contagious disease service &c.
600 year for personal services and a
larger sum for all other uses. such as the
purchase of disinfectants, etc. DIR. Wood
ward has asked the Commissioners sew
eral times to have this restriction taken
of the appropriation, but the Commits
sioners have had to struggle along with it
for this year. The limit was raised for
next year 5000.

means 1 can suggest is to dispense with
the services Of some of the regular office

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.

During the session of Congress just end
ed the following legislation for the bene-
tit of the revenue cutter service was
enacted into law:
The military reservation known as Fort
Trumbull. at New London, Conn.,, has
been transferred to the service from the
War Department, thus securing very
desirable location for the School of In
struction; the service was included in
the act entitled AN act to protect the
dignity and honor of the uniform of the
United States.'' which was passed. MAX
ing it unlawful for proprietor, manager
or other employee of a theater or other
public place of amusement in the Dis
trict of Columbia, or in any territory, or
in Alaska, or in the insular possessions
to make any discrimination against any
person lawfully wearing the uniform of
the army, navy, revenue cutter service
or Marine Corps, because of that uni
form. Provision was also made that
hereafter when, in the opinion OF the
SECRETARY Of War, accommodations are
available transportation on vessels OF
the army transport service may be fur
nished officers of the revenue cutter serv-
ice and their families without expense
to the government. Provision was also
the sundry civil appropriation act, that
officers and men of the revenue cutter
service dying in the service of the United
States or dying in "a destitute condition
after having been honorably discharged
from the service may be buried in any
national cemetery free of cost under the
regulations now or hereafter provided for
the burial of officers and men of the
army in national cemeteries.
The only Legislation which the serv-
ice solicited from Congress that was
not favorably acted upon was the plan
to have the new revenue cutters that
were authorized in a previous session
constructed in navy yards on basis

the structural and decorative arrange

cedure adopted in 1902. few slight modi-
tications only being INTRODUCED, which eX-
perience on that occasion has proved de-
srable. There will be the same tenn
porary annex to the western end of the
abbey. to be used for the purpose of mar

abbey is entered. Built OF timber, lath
and plaster, suitably adorned with bat
Elements and washed with some prepara-
ton to give it the resemblance of the
surface of time-worn stone, it was in
harmony with the sacred edifice itself,
and formed a notable feature of the
preparations.
Inside, the annex presented the appear
ance of large hall about 100 feet long
and fifty feet wide: Of imposing height,
with a timbered roof. Splendid tapestries
adorned the walls, and the finest speci-
mems of the magnificent arTnor from the
tower completed the scheme of decora-
ton. According to present arrangements
the annex will again figure largely in the
plans of the officials. though on the abbey
itself their main attention will be directed.
Arrangement of Stands.
Though due regard will naturally be
paid to the comfort and convenience OF
the vast congregation of the great day,
there will be the same consideration as
was formerly shown not to obscure the
principal lines of the architecture. Thus,
neither the east end nor the west will
be blocked up or covered over in any
way, and the stands in the nave will be
placed behind the pillars. The transepts

Animal Memory.
rom the Chicago Tribune.

The memory Of animals running
through generations is one OF the most
astounding facts of science which il is
most difficult to account for. Take any
animal whose daily life entails certain
line of work and put him in an environ
ment where neither he nor his children
unto the one hundredth generation Will
be able to carry out this work. Then
bring the remote descendant into the
original environment OF his fathers and
he will go about the duties OF his kind
as if he had been schooled IN them. Re-
Gently it was found that some beavers
were living in the villages near Avignon
on the Rhone. For at least 3H years
they had had no trees 10 fell for their
dams. so for thirty generations they had
burrowed i'm the banks and built mud
walls about their lodgings with Their
tails. A Polish count became interested

of them to a forest grown estate I'M
mediately the beavers established them
selves by a stream, cut their trees and
built their villages their fathers had
not been able to do for three whole Gems

A Recorder for Composers.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The modern composer, il seems, does
most OF his work at the piano. He works
out a composition at the keyboard and
then writes IL out as he remembers it
afterward. This is annoying. for a man
IN the midst OF an inspiration must stop
and write down what ne already has
worked out lest he forget.
For many years various inventors have
been endeavoring 10 perfect auto
musicograph, or an instrument which
would register the music as the compos-
eP plays IL at his instrument. At last
Don Angelo Barberi. an Italian inventor,
has perfected such machine. go that
the musician now will have the advan-
tage of his typewriter just as the author
has had for many years.
The playing OF the composer is re-
corded on rolls of paper which revolve
BY clockwork in dashes of varying length
and position as the value of the note or
it's position on the scale demands When
the composition has been played to the
finish the dash system can be transcribed
by means of a graduated scale and re-
corded exactly as II was played.

Wildcats Kill Deer.
I'M the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston Journal.
The prevalence of wildcats in the FORKS
plantation in Somerset county has been
called to the attention Of Chairman
Bracket Of the fish and game commits
sion by Game Warden +. J. Durgin. the
warden recently found tracks Of eleven
wildcats in one drove. and says it Is a
common thing to see three, four, and
even six at one time. He thinks some
thing drastic must be done to get rid
of these animals, as they kill many deer.
He says he has tried to run a wildcat
down on the snow, but was never able
to get very near. He says large wild
cat can easily kill a deer. The state, II
Is recalled, pays SO bounty on wildcats,
and about 81 600 has been paid out this
year for that purpose.

Paris Horses.
From H. Fign 70.

T
Since 1899 the progress of automobilism
has caused a decrease Of 1878 in the
number of horses in Paris. The census
OF the horses in the city taken in 1910
gave a total Of 75 483. In 1899 the num-
Der was 81. 26l.
The dfminution Is the more noticeable
in the Weather districts There are six
in which the number of
horses has slightly increased. including
the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, If
teenth and nineteenth. In these arron-
are situated the great public
work contractors, who use as many
horses as ever. In he ninth arrondisse-
ment the number of horses has risen
from 1.55. to 1896: but this remarka BILE
increase is due to the fact that the horses
of one Of the largest cab companies are
counted in this reimbursement, which
was not the case in 1899.
