eRILLs THE VIVsEcTloNlsTs.

Advocates Of Regulating Animal Ex'
perlments Ask Operators Some Per-
tinent Questions.
Protesting against attempts to mis-.
represent the attitude of the Society
For the Prevention Of Abuse In Animal
Experimentation, Mr. E. P. Bellamy,
counsel for the society, denies that
It aver proposed the prohibition Of
vfvisechon. The society stands, he
says, upon precisely the platform
where Herbert Spencer, the greatest
Of English scientists, stood when In
1895 he, with nearly 200 Of the most
prominent physicians In England and
In this country, signed a statement in
which he said:
1--WE believe. therefore, that the
common interests of humanity and
science demand that ~vivisection, Like
the study Of human anatomy in the
dissecfing room, should be brought I'M
der the direct supervision and control
Of the state. The practice, whether in
public or In private, should be restrict
ed by law to certain definite objects
and surrounded by every possible safe
guard against license or abuse"
Mr.. Bellamy insists that these ques-
| lions call for a frank answer from
those who oppose any such safe
guards:
+. Queries For the Doctors.
How can legitimate scientific work
by competent men be injured by a law
which will limit all vivisection to com
petent persons?
How can legitimate scientific work
be injured by a law which will com.

where the success Of the experiment

tation and suggest some amendment

A Substantial Bone.

90 many witnesses had queered his

shots they had heard In 6 shooting at

that when pressed to ten what they
were doing when each report was
heard, naming actions 80 dissimilar
yhat It must have taken at least ten
minutes to switch from one to the
other, the criminal lawyer swore that
hs would maintain consistency above
oil things In his latest case. Gustave.
the Swedish janitor, had heard two
vhots Ared at the injured man, and
tho lawyer impressed upon him the
importance Of swearing that he was
engaged In the same task. at each shot.
In the course Of the trial It was
brought out that tho shots had been
lred . month apart, the first being
merely q little target practice that did
no harm, the second INJECTING q sert-

For the forced draft equipment OF
the United States battleships Della

PIONEER AMERICAN LINEN

be removed before they are. in prime
condition to produce fertile eggs. Fat
hens make, unreliable breeders. A
very light diet of grains for two or
three weeks, well scattered in deep
litter, thus forcing the fowls to take
plenty of exercise by scratching, will
be found helpful in removing unneces-
sary flesh on the birds. The noon
mash may also be omitted and half OF
the regular grain ration fed. The use
of an overfat male bird must be guard
ed against At the close Of this pre-
uminary feeding period a liberal diet
may be given similar to the one sug-
gested for the regular layers. Much
food of a heating character should be-
avoided. Plenty Of green food is de-
sirable where the highest degree Of
fertility in the eggs is desired and it
must be literally supplied to fowls con-
fined in small yards. Birds having
free range get plenty Of exercise, but
breeding fowls In small enclosures
often suffer from lack Of it. Forcing
them to scrath for their food in a deep
litter, will help Offset this difficulty.
In the early part Of the season the
male will be SO attentive to the flock
that he may, neglect his own welfare;
and fail to eat enough. If removed
for a few hours every other day and
fed, this undesirable feature may be
avoided {{ II y 81 /.
