Washington, I). C., September G.?
In connection with its work in determining
the unwholesome food stuff.that
arc being put on tlie markets and
the prosecution of the manufacturers
of such foods the pure food department
of the United States Government
is establishing about twenty
food testing laboratories throughout
tho country, where samples collected
by it corps of inspectors can be sent
for examination and analysis.
It lias recently developed that these
inspectors are preparing to make a
thorough investigation of the quality
of liquors served in some of I be highclass
restaurants, with the object of
ascertaining whether the quality of
the liquors conforms with the label
on the bottle. Already they have discovered
tli;?1 in many such places bottles
bearing the label of some highclass
and well-known liquor are often
refilled with a much inferior
brand and sold to the unsuspecting
public as the real article.
One of these branch laboratories is
being established in Chicago on the
top floor of the Manhattan building.
U will be under tho direction of Dr.
A. li. \\ i 111 <>n ami ten men will be employed
tn make Hi,, tests. Dr. Winlon
plans to make a thorough examination
of foods coming under I he restrictions
of the Inter-State commerce regulations.
This means, for example, that
a baking powder or flavoring extract
manufactured in one state and shipped
to another for sale, will come under
the inspection of the Federal pure
food authorities to determine whether
it is pure.
Whether an artificially bleached
flour should be put under the head of
fraud," or, if not fraud, branded
as injurious to health, is another
question that the Federal inspectors
will probably determine. A number
of the flour mills throughout the
oonnfrv are putting in electrical apparatus
for bleaching flour. It consists
of generating a nitrous acid and
causes i. low grade of flour to look
like a high grade.
As the result of the light for pure
foods |he manufacturers and dealers
in foods are becoming more and more
caret ul about 111'; labels they are putting
on il,e articles which thov offer
lor sale. Inqmds vluh are not pure
in accordance wit!, tl.e name are being
marked "(oni pound" or ' 'extract
, for the dealers know of the
disastrous consequences (Ii a < are

No Ileal Change.
Comptroller Met/,, according lo 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 ador and the canal
boat captain.
' There was once upon a time ai
ador, who, after an enforced idle
ness of two months, was lucky enougl
to secure an engagement in a towi
twenty-live miles awav.
I lie ease was a hurry-up one. Tin
actor had to reach the distant lowt
thai night. It he failed in arrive
then hi-; pari would be assigned i,
some one else.
"Well. I he man pah-bed his w..n
boots with patent thread, pinned u|
his few belongings in a newspape
and set out in tin* early morning oi
foot along the towpath. lie had onl;
a lew coppers, hence the train was ai
impossibility.
Hut alter the poor fellow ha<
covered some six or seven miles hi
boots gave out, blisters rose on hi
feel, fatigue overcame him, and ii
despair lie threw himself on the gras
beneath a tree.
"As he lay there in a hitler mood :
canal boat hove in sight. It drew nca
slowly, and an idea seized the acloi
" 'Captain,' lie shouted, rising hur
riedly. 'Captain, pull up, for tlp> lov
of heaven!'
" 'Waal, wof d'ye want?' said th
captain, as lie slopped the boat.
" KJaplain,' said the actor, '
have to gel to Quag tonight (?> phi,
second heavy in "Tho Evil That Me!
Do." I am footsore and weary, am
can walk no further. Tf you will a.:
sist me 1 will work my passage.
" The captain gave the actor
kindly nod.
"'AM right,' he said, 'Lead th
Jioss.' ''

ENTHUSIASTIC ENTOMOLOGIST.
/ 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, triumphantly,
today, in his little laboratory in
the University of Kansas museum, a a
he finished unpacking the last box
containing the entomological spcci
mens ho had gathered on his eolleoti
ing expedition to Arizona. "Not a
11 specimen was injured out of the 15,i
000, and they had to bo hauled over
a mountainous road of nearly thirty
miles and withstand a railroad journey
of nearly 1,500 miles."
"It will take me nearly six months
to get. all the specimens obtained on
litis hip arranged and classified. Some
ol those I believe are now to science
will have In be studied carefully for
days to bo sure of this, and L probably
will send some of them to various en I
omologists throughout I he country
who are experts on trial' particular
genus to get them to pags upon them.
Then 1 will prepare a list, of the specimens
I have for trade and send
them out over the munrry. Most of
the bugs of which we have duplicates
we will trade with (ho various museums
for 'specimens tro do not havo
( here at the university. For sonic of
| the more valuable ones, howe\er, I
I will set a higher price. For example,
J for two of those amblychillas I got
last year (a species of tiger beetle,)
a professor in Berlin gave mo .107
specimens of tiger beetles, of which'
I H! were ilistinet species, all new to;
1 I he collection at I ho university. .Inst
| before I left on my trip I traded 1,000 !
I of my American bugs lor 1,000 a Hun- 1
garian collector had gathered from j
all parts of the worrd. By this trad- j
ing we increase our collection at the
university much faster than we would
by simply collecting all of ?nir own
specimens.''
The expedition from whislt Dr.
I Snow returned recently is the twentysixth
he has made in the interests of
the university collection. Summer
after summerbe has gone to tho
I mountains with the simplest camp
kit and "roughed it" like the prospector.
As a result of these expeditions
the University of Kansas collection
now has 250,000 bugs, of which
more than 25,000 are distinct species.
Several times on those expeditions
Dr. Snow has narrowly escaped death.
In the year 1S7H he was bitten by n
rattlesnake while collecting specimens
in Western Kansas. Not deterred
by this adventure although l.o j
was laid up for several weeks, he ,
made a second trip that summer, this
i time to Colorado, and a large bou'.der
I crashed down the mountainside not i
| live feel behind him.
I A few years later in Colorado Dr. j
j Snow tried a short cut down drey's)
'(Peak. For several hundred yards ev-I
jerylhinu went well, but gradually the
descent became sleeper and steeper
so thai ii was with difficulty thai he
i managed to keep his feet at all. Sud'
J dculy lie began sliding and it looked
as if nothing could save him. With
a last effort of desperation be jabbed
' the handle of his butterfly net into
' the snow and ice and held on. This
I stopped his sliding, but there he was
on the mountain side, norther able to
I get up or down, and only the handle
of a but tori v net between him and
i death. With his pocket knife he cut
' toe holes with one hand and held on
I with the other lo the butterfly net.
41 Thus he worked his way down the
II mountain. At the foot of the nioun11
tain he found a new species of but?i
Icrl'ly, which has been named for him.
In the summer of "TSS1 In* was col1:
led ing specimens in Arizona, when
> the Apache Indians Mnrtett on the
?'j warpath. Being warned by a miner
i of the approach of" the Indians, lie
m broke camp. Molding bis shotgun in
1 j one hand and several boxes of bugs
i in the other, ho made bis way down
I the canyon with his party to a camp
s of miners, where he remained in safe*
ty until the Indians had passed by. lie
u had been reported as killed in all the
s dispatches. Since that time he has
had a narrow escape from drowning,
I and last year was bitten by a gila
r monster. This sum*?, however, he
' met with no adventure.
