Tcky Cattle Is Subject To
New Restrictions Made Now

requires all cattle shipped interstate
from the area quarantined for scabies
to be accompanied by certificate of
Federal inspection or dipping. Hither-
to such cate have been allowed to go
out uninspected, provided the cars
were placarded "Uninspected Clean
Cattle" and "Uninspected Exposed
Cattle" as the case might be. The
area under quarantine for scabies has
been so greatly reduced by eradication
work however, that it is now possible
to inspect all stock shipped from it
and the former privilege of shipping
without inspection is regarded as no
longer necessary.
Still another change provides that
swine shipped intrstate for any pur-
pose except immediate slaughter must
have cleaned and disinfected cars. The
object of this regulation is to provide
an additional safeguard against the
srread of hog cholera to breeding or
feeding herds.

SCIENTIST ROBS SUN
OF HEAT REPUTATION
Englishmsn Declare, Temperature on
Body to Be Only 5000 Degrees.

In a paper on The Utilization Of Solar
Energy" in the Smithsonian annual re-
port, A. s. Z. Ackermenn, Of England
says the sun fs no longer regarded as q
nonstrous ban Of FIRE, burnig In the man.
ner OF our CRATE fires, at a temperature
Of several hundred thousand degrees
centisrsde. for, great as its mass, Il
would be comparatively rapidly consumed
II such combustion were taking place.
The temperature OF the surface Of the
sun has been determined as about 6ooo
degrees Centigraoe, far too high 70 permit
the formation Of most chemical com
pounds. without which the production Of
heat by combustion is impossible. Such
q temperature oecomposes nearly ali
compounds into their elements and pre-
vents their reuniting and the consequent
production OF heat
Mr.. Ackermann says scientists are by
no means certain how the suns heat IA
produced; one theory being that IL is due
to radioactivity; and another that the
energy to keep up the radiation could
be supplied by a relatively miscrOsoopic
contraction Of its volume, but this theory
Is not a complete success. as II implies
that the sun is only about Il .00o, 900 years

lSeG YORK. Sept f6.-The announcement
of the dispatch Of mail to Tristan da
Cunha after an interval OF ten years
rouses happy rpemorief Of one Of the
most hilarious high sea Incidents by
which real life sometimes outdoes pleas
ing inventions.
Tristan da Cunha is part Of lonely
group OF Islands in the South Atlantic
Ocean. The population is now something
like eighty, probably the most primitive
race speaking English.
Ten years ago Capt Kerry, an adven-
turer of the bnthe old school, decided to
go TO the islands in a sort Of steam yacht
and offered TO take presents Of all kinds
free for the poor islanders. The presents
rolled in until there was not much room
on the yacht
There was an enormous quantity OF
tracts, many of them dealing with the
pawnshop and the public house, which
were unknown conveniences to the isl
anders. A charitable duchess sent a sci
Of Merediths and other suitable reading,
presumably for the three or four island
ers who were able to read. A great many
women's dresses were sent Of a kind %
startle the natives. and parssols, bathing
costumes, and even a mangie were in
cluded. 1t was the most extraordinary
instance Of kind hearts and simple faith
that ever human nature conceived.

SODA WATER SCARCITY
NOW Thing OF PAST
Local Dealers Declare 'Fizz" Soon
Will Be Plentiful.

Scares as to the scarcity OF soda water
material are rapidly being dispelled ac-
cording to the testimony of many Of the
dealers in this commodity, 1t was learned
yesterday.
Although they admitted there had been
trouble in getting gas with
which to make carbonated water, 1t was
stated the American manufacturers
could supply the article as cheaply as
foreign markets, but during the summer
could not make It fast enough to meet
the demand. ... . ... s
J. p. Conner. of the Samuel Palmer
Company, said last night: -.
The difficulty in obtaining materials
for carbonated water lie in the fact that
maganese, one of the purifying chemicals
used, previous to the war was obtained
from Greece, After the war began, q
substitute was manufactured here which
served every purpose. but the American
factories could not make It fast enough
to supply the summer demand. How
ever. now that the winter season is ap-
preaching. there will be no trouble in
this direction. and / think the threatened
rise in the prices at soda fountains is
due more to other costs than to carbon
ated water

A demand for a full and complete

WIN be no diplomatic protest against
japanese aggressions In China until the
