statistics recently issued by the super
dsors of the slaughter houses at La WI
lette a suburb to the north Of Faris' indl-
cate that the consumption of beef has
varied but little in recent years, and that
on the other hand greater quantities OF
horse meat are consumed is the report
of Deputy Consul General Yost, who also
says:
During 1909 fewer cattle were killed
than for many years, except In 1900 the
exposition year. when 264SS6 beeves were
slaukhtered For the year 1903, the. latest
complete statistics available there were
only 2O4i36 beeves killed at La Villette
However, the total number Of animals
killed has increased considerably This Is
due 10 the increased number of horses ana
hogs that are consumed in Paris ana the
cities supplied by the slaughter houses at
La Villette.
TT is claimed that the consumption OF
horse meat has almost trebled in the last
twelve years. Whereas, in 1887, u,oS4'loO
pounds were consumed, in 1909 the figures
reached 81. ,942 pounds. This increased
consumption is probably due in part to the
existing high prices of beef, so that the
restaurant and hotel keepers find II a great
saving to serve horse meat under some
fancy name. AS there is no law compell-
ing them to indicate on the menu that
horse meat is being served the patrons OF
the restaurants are none the wiser and

"School" of Whales on Land

Cornwall England, recently enjoyed the
sensation Of a visit from a school OF
whales OF the hundred or more in the
school, sixty whales swan too close on
the nflowing tide, When the tide began
to recede the whales tried to make a short
cut for the open sea and were stranded
high and dry on a stretch Of sand ad-
joining the harbor The school was made
up principally Of cows and their calves
varying in length from six to twenty-five
feet. When first stranded they dashed the
water with great fury, churning it into
foam and attracting the attention Of the
townspeople, who went out by the boat
load.
And then" according to the corre-
