NEW CLOCK FOR TIMEKEEPER
of Workmen Wanted Expressed
in Dollars and Cents.

FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
1t is quite inconvenient, when figur-
ing the time of workmen, to have the
time expressed in hours and minutes,
which is a duodecimal system, while
the labor is paid for in dollars and
cents on the decimal system. This
difficulty has been very simply over
come by an inventor in Louisville, KY,
who has fitted clock with a face

Year Since Present Law Be-
came Effective.

Washington, May 15.-According to

an inspector of meat under the juris-
diction of the department of agricul-
ture and who gave testimony before
the house committee Monday on ex-
penditures in that department, the
standard of meat inspection had gone
went into effect in 1906.
At the present time, according to
the witness, conscientious inspectors
regard their presence in packing
houses as something merely perfume
tory.
Burroughs told the committee he
was appointed to the service in Sep
TENDER, 1906, and assigned to duty in
Philadelphia under DR.. Charles
Schauffer, inspector in charge of all
packing establishments in that city.
"One day in the winter of 1907 or
1908, DR.. Ralph Clements, a veter-
mary inspector, wandered into the
basement of the establishment of
Charles Roesch & Sons" Burroughs
told the committee 1--WE noticed the
carcasses of ten bulls that were to be
ground into sausage meat. They
We're black and stringy and had a fear
full odor.
Tn going to see just how bad
they are l said to Clements. Then
pressed several fingers against new
ly-cut side. My hand sank into the
meat almost to my wrist
1--WE summoned Doctor Schauffer.
He examined the meat and questioned
our wisdom, as he expressed it, in
condemning it. l protested it would
be menace to health to pass such
carcasses. Finally he ordered us to
let them by.

KING OF DENMARK is DEAD
Frederick Vim. Expires at Hamburg
Germany, of Pneumonia-Had
Reigned Six Years.

Hamburg, Germany. Frederick
VII, king of Denmark, died here
after a long illness. Although it was
known that the king was seriously
indisposed it was not thought that
his illness had reached a critical
stage.
The king, who was a brother of
eX-Queen Alexandra of England, was
born in 1843. He succeeded to the
throne of Denmark by virtue of the
Danish law of succession on the
death of his father, King Christian
TX, in 1906. He married the Prin-
cess Louise of Sweden in 1869 and
had three daughters and four sons,
the eldest of the latter being Crown
Prince Christian.
The direct cause of King Freder-
ick's death was pneumonia. Several
weeks ago the king took a severe
cold, and although it apparently
yielded to treatment at the time, the.
relief was not permanent. The king
had come to Hamburg by advice of
his physicians.

HOUSE PASSES DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATORS
Measure With Brstow Amendment
for Federal Control Is Carried by
Vote of 237 to 80.

Washington May 15.-The house
Monday broke a deadlock which has
existed nearly year by passing the
resolution declaring for an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for the direct election of United
states senator's. The resolution has
already passed the senate The
amendment, thus initiated by con-
gress, must be ratified by three
fourths of the state legislatures be-
fore it will become law.
A number of states have by resolu-
ton declared for direct election of
senators. This action has no force,
however, as has the action of the
legislatures that have ratified the in
come tax amendment.
The Bristow amendment, which was
the cause Of the deadlock, reserves to
the federal government supervision Of
the time, manner and place of holding
senatorial elections. The final vote
on the amendment was 237 to 80.
Previous to this vote the house de-
feated the Bartlett amendment which
proposed that the house should con-
cur in the senate amendment with
the proviso that the federal govern
ment should not undertake to assert
the qualifications of electors for sena.
tors in the states, and~that the gen.
eral government, by force of arms. or
otherwise, must not interfere with
elections in the several states. The
Bartlett amendment was defeated by
vote of 189 to 80.
