VIENNA. July 27-A communication
issued by the AustroHunSarian foreign
office today sets forth the Austrian
note demanding the cessation of the
Pan-Servian agitation and the punish
ment of those concerned in the as
sassiation at Sarajevo of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand and his consort. The
communication also gives the reasons
for Austrias dissatisfaction with
Servia's reply.
1t declares that Servia's note is filled
with the spirit of dishonesty. and dis
closes that Servia is not seriously de-
termined to end tolerance of intriSues
against Austria Hungary.
1t was pointed out here today that
Austria Hungary. being :, signatory to
the second Hague convention, would be
obliged formally to declare war. but
as Servia did not sign that convention
such a declaration might perhaps be re-
garded as unnecessary i'll this instance.

Servian minister, NJ. Joyanovitch, by the
Austrian foreign Office. however. is
deemed equivalent TO a declaration Of
war. This action was taken yesterday.

BEEF PRICES TAKE DROP
IN WHOLESALE MARKET
Consumers Are Expected to Get
Benefit Before End of the
Present Week.

Beef prices. which last week We're up TO
~ cents a pound in the agencies of the
western beef house in this city. broke
this morning. and it is stated that good
grades Of beef are selling at II to 14l.
cents a pound. The indications arc that
prices will go lower before the end of
the week. and the retail butchers are
holding off from buying before the lower
prices come.
This change probably will effect the
retail price of meats in the market. and
within the next few days. it is said, a
drop of a few cents pound can be
looked for on steaks and roasts. 1t is
also stated that the beef houses here are
receiving full supplies of beef from the
west-something the have not been doing
for several weeks past.
When the recent advance in the price
of beef was made there was a general
drop off, not ony in Washington. but
all over the country in the demand for
meat. and this is assigned as being
largely the cause of the coming of
lower prices. 1t is believed that prices
will return at least to the figures of a
month ago.

The Frogometer.

From The Electrical World.
The nervous and muscular system Of the
frog has been famous as sensitive de-
tector of electrical impulses ever since the
day of Galvami and his classical observa-
ton which led TO the discovery of the
principle of the electric battery. Very
recently. however the same pioneer form
of physiological detcctor has been used
for recording the wireless impulses re-
ceived from the Arlington tNaD radio

good results. best observations being
