Says Buddy" Walters.

Chicago claims the worlds youngest
steeplejack. He is Buddy" Walters.

old. says the higher You climb the
more fun it is.
The boy inherited his skill in steeple
climbing from his father. Clyde Wal
ters. now dead Buddy" lives with
an uncle. Edmund Won Kaenel. who
Is also steeplejack- 1t was under
his tutoring that Buddy learned all
the fine points of climbing to lofty
heights. He calls the youngster his
chief assistant. Recently Buddy ac-
compa MED his uncle on perilous trip
up the fiagpole of tall building Al
though something like 10 feet above
the ground, Buddy" was cool enough
TO pose for q photograph in his steeple
jack clothes. That's the highest he
ever climbed. and | was afraid he
would lose his nerve but he didn't,
said Won Kaenel afterward.
The tiny steeplejack shows wonder

made rigging and knows how to tic
the many different knots understood

CATTLE IMPORTS ARE
LARGELY INCREASED
Lifting of Tariff Cause Of The
Big Advance.

Washington-The effect OF the Tn
derwood- Simmons tariff law on the
importation of cattle is Indicated ny
shipments from Canada and Mexico

two months.
Imported cattle inspected by the
bureau of animal industry during the
months of October aud November"

tion of the departments of agriculture.
numbered 209.327 head as compared
with 7242O for the corresponding peri
cd of 1912 All of these cattle came
from Canada and Mexico except AT
head of pure bred cattle for breeding
purposes imported from Great Britain
The bulk OF the slaughter cattle
came from Canada. while. Mexico fur
nished over four-tifths of the stockers
aud feeders.
Imported meats and meat food prod
! ucts inspected during October and
i November amounted to 11.1933ll
pounds. The bulk OF this consisted OF

Cattle are on the free list. The re
port continues:
During the fiscal year of 1913 over los.

were exported but this quantity includes
only somewhat more than 100000 of fresl
beef. The quantity of exports of beef ant

WIDER WAR On GERMS.
Public Health Service Has Big Pro
gram For Current Year.

The public health service is looking
forward TO the biggest years work It
has ever undertaken. From the noun
tains Of Kentucky, where two field hos
pitfalls and dispensaries are teaching the
mountain people now to combat pei
lagra, to the water fronts of San Fran
cisco and Seattle, where federal ex-
perts are helping state authorities to
prevent the carrying of plague germs
by rats and squirrels. the service has
pushed its activities into many unusual
fields.
Much of the research work of the
health service is done in the hygienic
laboratory in Washington. In the
search for the means by which infan-
tile paralysis is transmitted experts
there succeeded during the last year in
carrying germs from one monkey tc
another by the bite of a stable fly
But where this succeeded once it fail
ed on all other attempts The public
health service is still working on the
problem.
Practically every phase of sanitation
IS being studied and taught by official,
MS fast as funds permit.

CARP SPAWN FOR CAVIAR.
May Prove Valuable Product of the
Great Lakes,

The Canadian fisheries department
is investigating the commercial posi-
hilities of utilizing the spawn of the
German carp, which have become
quite numerous lately in the waters of
Lake Erie and Lake Huron and in the
tributary rivers.
Professor Prince, Dominion com
missioner of fisheries. states that if
properly cured the spawn of carp may
be sold rs caviar quite rs well as the
spawn of sturgeon. The demand for
caviar has been steadily increasing
and prices have risen considerably
during recent years because Of the
limited supply.
If the carp can be made a profitable
source of supply for this table luxury
this hitherto despised species may be
converted into a valuable asset of the
lake fisheries.

UNITED STATES NOW THIRD
AMONG WORLDS NAvIES
May Drop to Fourth or Fifth-Japan
Building Dreadnou9hts Faster.

The United States navy ranks third
among the naval armamentS of the
world, according TO figures given in
Pulsifers Navy Year Book publish
ed in Washington as a senate docu-
ment
This rank is assigned on the basis of
vessels completed and vessels under
construction. Great Britain ranks
first, with total tonnage of 2oJ2.711,
Germany has 943, 33S tons, the United
100000. France 645.S91. Japan 49T.199.
Russia 2S3. 6S1, Italy 2J9.136 and Aus
tria 19S,351.
These figures show Great Britain
with more tonnage than Germany and
the United States combined, while the
United States is harder pushed by
France than it is pressing Germany.
In the amount of appropriations the
United States stands second. only TO
Great Britain for 1913. Great Britain's
appropriations for the navy for the
fiscal year were S235,713.4S9. those of
the United States We're S140. SOC, 900.
while Germany's were Sill PC, OPS.
Iapan's estimated appropriations were
/ lS,io5.151.
/ The United ftates now has seven
! battleships of the Dreadnought type
/ and twenty-four of the pre-Dread
nought type Five Dreadnoughts are
building.
Great Britain has eighteen Dread
noughts and forty re-Dreadnoughts
with fourteen Dreadnoughts building
Germany has thirteen Dreadnoughts
twenty re-Dreadnoughts and ST,
| Dreadnoughts under construction. Ia
can has two Dreadnoughts and fou
building.
For many years the United State
held second rank among naval pow
ers Recently, however, Germany ha
forced this country into third place
Japan is now building Dreadnought
