MUST COME UP TO LABEL. Government Establishing Twenty Laboratories where Samples Col lected by its Agents May be Examined-10heap Li quors Found Masque rading Under Pret ty and Expensive Label& News and Courier. Washington, D. C., September 6. In connection with its work in de termining the unwholesome food staffs that are being put on the markets and the prosecution of the manufacturers of such foods the pure food depart ment of the United States Govern ment is establishing about twenty food testing laboratories throughout the country, where samples collected by it corps of inspectors can be sent for examination and analysis. -It has recently developed that these inspectors are preparing to make a thorough investigation of the quality of liquors served in some of the high class restaurants, with the object of ascertaining whether the quality of the liquors conforms with the label ' on the bottle. Already they have dis- < covered that in many such places bot-I t tles bearing the label of some high- t class and well-known liquor are of- I ten refilled with a much inferior, I brand and sold to the unsuspecting, I public as the real article. t One of these branch laboratories is If being established in Chicago on the top floor of the Manhattan building. It will be under the direction of Dr. A. L. Winton and ten men will be em ployed to make the tests. Dr. Winton I plans to make a thorough examination of foods coming under the restrictions of the Inter-State commerce regula tions. This means, for example, that e a baking powder or flavoring extract i manufactured in one state and ship ped to' another for sale will come un der the inspection of the Federal pure food authorities to determine wheth er it is pure. Whether an artificially bleached flour should be put under the head of "fraud," or, if not fraud, branded t as injurious to health, is another 2 question that the Federal inspectors - will probably determine. A number of the flour mills throughout theI country are putting in electrical ap- I paratus for bleaching flour. It con. sists of generating a nitrou3 acid and causes a low grade of flour to look like a high grade.1 As the result of the fight for pure] foods the manufacturers and dealers2 in foods are becoming more and more careful about the~ labels they are but-i ting on the a'rticles wvhich they offer for sale. Liquids v ldeh are not pure j: in aeoordan~ce witl. the name are be ing marked ''compound'' or ''ex tract,'' fo.r the d alers know of the disastrous consequenetcs that are lound to follow if the Federal in spectors disieover that it is not up to t1ie standard. No Real Change. Comptroller Metz, according to the New York Tribune, said the other <day of a bill that he disliked: "I object to this bill because it would accomplish nothing. It would make no real change. It would be like the case of the aetor and the canal boat captain. ''There was once upon a time an actor, who, after an enforced idle ness of two months, was lucky enough to secure an engagement in a town twenty-five miles away. "The case was a hurry-up one. The actor had to reach the distant town that night. If he failed to arrive, then his part would be assigned to some one else. "Well, the man patched his worn borots with patent thread, pinned up his few belongings in a newspaper and set out in the early morning on foot along the towpath. He had only a few coppers, hence the train was an impossibility. "But after the poor fellow had covered some six or seven miles his boots gave out, blisters rose on his feet, fatigue overcame him, and in despair he threw himself on the grass beneath a tree. "As he lay there in a bitter mood a canal boat hove in sight. It drew near slowly, and an idea seized the actor. " 'Captain,' he shouted, rising hur riedly. 'Captain, pull up, for tlie love of heaven!' "'Waal, wot d'ye want?' said the captain, as he stopped the boat. "'IGaptain,' said the actor, 'I have to get to Quag tonight to play second heavy in "The Evil That Man Do.'' I am footsore and weary, and can wa]k no further. If you will as sist me I will work my passage. "The captain gave the actor a "'All right,' lie said, 'Lead the ENTHUSIASTI E1-4TOMOLOGIST. Dr. Snow Talks About the Queer Bugs he Captured During His Summer Vacation. Kansas City Times. "Every one of thwm came through safely," said Dr.' Snow, triumphant ly, today, in his little laboratory In the University of Kansas museum, as he finished unpacking the last box eontaining the entomological speci mens he had gathered on his collect ing expedition to ArizoTia. "Not a specimen was injured out of the 15, 00, and they had to be hauled over a monutainous road of nearly thirty miles and withstand a railroad jour ney of nearly 1,500 miles." "It will take me nearly six months ,o get all the specimens obtained on his trip ariianged and classified. Some )f those I believe are new to science vill have to be studied carefully for lays to be sure of this, and I probably vill send some of them to various en ;omologists throughouf th count'ry. vho are experts on that 'particular renus to get them to pas upon them. Chen I will prepare a list of the spe- C :imens I have for trade and send hem out over the country. Most of he bugs of which we have duplicates ye will trade with the various muse ns for 'specimens we do not have tere at the university. For some of he more valuable ones, however, I j vill set a higher price. For example, . or two of those amblychillas I got ast year (a species of tiger beetle,) professor in Berlin gave me 167 pecimens of tiger beetles, of which .16 were distinct species, all new to F he collection at the university. Just efore I left on my trip I traded 1,000 f my American bugs for 1,000 a Hun arian collector had gathered from S ,11 parts of the worrd. By this trad- F ng we increase our collection at the Lniversity much faster than we would >y simply collecting all of our own S pecimens. E The expedition from whish Dr. ;now returned recently is the twenty ixth he has made in the interests of he university collection. Summer E &fter summerhe has gone to the S ountains with the simplest camp tit and "roughed it'' like the pros eetor. As a result of these. expedi ions the University of Kansas collee ion now has 250,000 bugs, of which' nore than 25,000 are distinct species. Several times on these expeditions )r. Snow has narrowly escaped death. En the year 1878 he was bitten by a attlesnake while collecting speci nens in Western Kansas. Not de ;erred by this adventure although he was laid up for several weeks, he nade a second trip that summer, this ;ime to Colorado, and a large boulder rashed down the mountainside n'ot fve feet behind him. A few years later in Colorado Dr. Snow tried a short cut down Grey's Peak. For several hundred yards ev rything went well, but gradually the desent became steeper and steeper o that it wias with difficulty that he managed to keep his feet at all. Sud denly he began sliding and it looked as if nothing could save him. With a last effort of desperation he jabbed the' handle of his butterfly net into the snow and ice and held on. This stopped his sliding, but there he was on the mountain side neither able to get up or down, and only the handle of a butterly net . between him and. death. With his pocket knife he cut toe holes with one hand and held on with the other to the butterfly net. Thus he worked his way down thle mountain. At the foot of the moun-t tai he found a new species of but terfly, which has been named for him. ' In the summer of 1S81 he was cot lecting specimens in Arizona, when t the Apache Indians started on thle 1 warpath. Being warned by a miner t of the approach of-the Indians, he c broke camp. Holding his shotgun in one hand and several boxes of bugst in the other, he made his way down< the canyon with his party to a camp < of miners, where he remained in safe ty until the Indians had passed by. He 1 had been reported as killed in all the dispatches. Since that time he has1 had a narrow esespe from drowning, and last year was bitten by a gila monster. This sum.r, however, he met with no adventure.
