The semi-annual meeting of the
State Board Of Health was held in
the Hotel DUPONT yesterday, conyen-
ing at IL o'clock in the morning, and
coming to a close at $3.50 in the af-
ternoon, with a recess taken at noon
for lunch.
One Of the matters brought to the
attention of the board was the fact
that the undertakeTs Of the State did
not follow the law relative 10 the
depth at which bodies should be bur-
led, which is as follows: Up to years
Of age, four feet; over and up to IL
years Of age, five feet, and over IL
years, six feet.
The secretary was instructed TO no
ufy all undertakers who violate this
law that they must not do so.
The question of registration Of births,
deaths and marriages in the Bureau OF
Vital Statistics was taken up. The new
law went into operation July 1, 1913
and it was noticed that the minister
had practically reported all marriage il
the proper foTan.. The physicians OF tn

At the meeting the new standard fo
milk was established, all milk to con

believed to be mp TO the standard al

LATEST RESULTS OF THE AERO.
PLANE IN WARFARE.

Early last month the aeroplane
was used with success by Spaniards
in Morocco and saved a detachment
of cavalry that was attacked by a
large force of natives near Ccuta. The
cavalry was getting the worst of it
when the Infante Alfonso CHANGED to
arrive overhead in his aeroplane, ac-
companied by other members of the
aerial squadron. The Moors were so
terrified that they fled and allowed
the survivors of the battle to escape
with their wounded. On Nov. Doth,
while Lieut.. Gil Rios and Capt. Bar
,reiero were flying over the enemy's
camp near Tetuan, Morocco, they
were hit and severely wounded, but
were able to get back to camp and
alight. Lieut.. Gil Rios was struck
by two bullets, while his passenger
received one. The height at which
they were flying is not stated, but
anything less than 5000 feet is not
considered safe elevation in time of
war. On November 23rd, as the
cruiser South Dakota" entered the
the Golden Gate, Silas Christofferson
flew over her head and dropped a
sand bomb" which struck her amid
ships. This is the first time, so far
as we know, that an aviator has sue
ceeded in dropping a bomb on NOV
ing warship. -Scientitic American.

FLYING UPSIDE DOWN AND"LOOP.
ING THE LOOP"

Spurred on by the accomplishments
of Pegoud, a number of prominent
flyers in France, England, and Amer
lea have lately been initiating this
daring Frenchman. On the 18th ult.
at Versailles Hanouille flew upside
down for 20 seconds and "looped the
loop twice in quick succession. The
English aviator, Hucks, surpassed
him in his Bleriot by remaining in
verted 80 seconds and making four
consecutive loops. On November Is
Chevillard, with his Farnan biplane,
'looped the loop" twice with pass
engcr, and subsequently he turned
over sideways while flying along in a
straight line, thereby performing a
sort of cork screw twist. On the Dist
ult., Chanteloup did three vertical
circles in high wind and, dropping
from a height of 1000 feet like Il
plummet, he righted his machine
within 20 feet of the ground. II. Lee
Temple flew upside down at Hendon,
England, for short distance on No
vember 9th, and two days later B.
G., Hucks made six circles in verti-
cal plane while descending from a
height of 1000 feet. Lincoln Beachey
at San Diego, Cal, "looped the loop"
twice on the 18th ult., starting from
height of 2, 800 feet, and on Thanks
giving Day he made three such circles
while descending from slightly
greater elevation. A French aviator
recently had his aeroplane turn turtle
while 1 800 feet in the air. AS he
was strapped in, he kept his seat dur
ing the descent, in the course of
which the aeroplane described several
loops. By keeping his nerve, he
managed to regain control and to land
in safety. Pegoud has made as many
as ten loops in single descent and
has flown inverted for over II min
utes, He has done great good by
showing the flying fraternity that all
is not lost when the machine capsizes
in mid air .-Scientitic American.

Change In Temperature.
Snow and Ice Plentiful Monday
Morning.

After a week or more of very mild
weather, this section of the country was
suddenly enveloped by an area OF cold
air from the northwest and many were
surprised to find the ground we'll covered
with snow Monday morning. Rain had
been predicted for Sunday, and it came,
arriving Saturday about midnight and
continuing most of Sunday morning.
Sunday afternoon the clouds broke and
the sun shone bright for a short time.
Sunday evening the wind began to
blow, and change was noticed in the
temperature. Snow and rain fell about
$50 D. m, and as the air cooled the pre-
cipitation was entirely snow. Monday
morning the mercury had crept very low
in the twenties. Ice half an inch or more
in thickness formed on water almost any
where except in streams.
The sudden change made everybody
get busy at the coal pile and furnace and
also at their wardrobes. Winter was at
their door and in command.
Saturday evening light caused by light
ming flashes was observed in the distance.
Reports from Cumberland state that
the blizzard which came with suddenness
Sunday afternoon brought drop OF 30
degrees in temperature in less than "a
hours, and caused much suffering among
railroad men.
The snow drifted and greatly interior
ed with the railroad schedules. Passen-
ger trains came in from the West three
and four hours late and covered with
snow and ice. Wires were blown down
at some points. Conditions have i'm
proved on both the Baltimore and Ohio
and Western Maryland lines as far as
the movement of trains is concerned, but
there is plenty of snow in the mountains.
At Thomas and Elkins the thermome.
ter registered lS degrees above zero.
railroads had their snow plows in readi-
ness. At noon the thermometer stood
degrees above zero at Frostburg. AT
some points the snowfall reached nearly
a foot.
Boston, Dec S.--Accompanied by GO
mile an hour gale, storm swept New
England today, bringing snow and 80
degree drop in temperature. New Hamp-
shire reported over II inches of snow
In Boston the storm was less severe,
there being just enough snow to cover
the sidewalks.
Heavy rain preceded the drop in tenn
perature. During a sharp thunder storm
one-ffth of an inch fell in 20 minutes and
in the next hour the temperature dropped
from 81 to 80 degrees. Tonight the
weather cleared, with the thermometer
regis tering well below freezing.

Old Plants Advertised
Under New Names.

There has recently been a considerable
amount of advertising, by the press and
otherwise, of two beans for which highly
extravagant claims are made, and for
the seed of which exorbitant prices are
being asked. One of these is being adj
vertised under the name of the Shahon
pea, with the absurd claim that on 81
acres this plant produced 70 tons OF hay
and $50 bushels of seed.
The Shahon pea is nothing more nor
less than the plant properly known as
the Asparagus bean or Yardlong bean.
1t is close relative of the cowpea-in
fact, by most botanists considered mere
variety. In experimental tests with up
ward of 20 varieties of Asparagus bean
the Department of Agriculture has reach
ed the conclusion that none of them could
possibly compete with the better varie-
ties of cowpeas as forage crop. The
stems, as a rule, are much more slender
and vining, and the long pods, which lie
on the ground, can not be harvested by
machinery. None of these 20 varieties
is as productive, either in heritage or in
pods, as the better varieties of cOwpeas.
The Asparagus been derives its name
from the fact that the young green pods,
when used as vegetable, have some
what the flavor of asparagus. AS vege-
table the Asparagus bean may me into
somewhat more general use than it his
in the past, but as a forage crop it has
but little merit. Seed Of the Shahon pea,
which apparently is the commonest va
riety of Asparagus beam namely, that
having pinkish-buf seeds-is offered by
the advertisers at SIS per pound. The
same variety is offered by seedsmen in
France, where the bean is more or less
commonly grown, for rs cents pound
Another plant which has been thor
oughly tested, both by the department
and. the experiment stations namely,
the Jack bean-is also being extrava-
gantly advertised under the name of the
Giant Stock Pod bean. or Wataka bean,
the seed being quoted at Sis per bushel.
This bean has been fully treated of in
Bureau of Plant Industry Circular No.
ITO, which can be obtained from the de-
partment free upon request. While the
Jack bean produces an enormous amount
of beans per acre, they are not reished
by stock, and no satisfactory means of
utilizing them has yet been discovered.
