Hundred Million Meat Animals Slaughtered Each Year in United States ?Tuberculosis Is Chief Cause of Condemnation. Washington.?More than 58,000,000 meat animals were slaughtered in establishments under federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Since approximately from 58 to ftO r.or rent rvf tho animala trill ori it? the country are slaughtered in establishments where federal inspection is maintained, it appears that about 100,000,000 meat animals are now being killed each year in the United States. Of the animals subjected to federal inspection, 299,958 were condemned as unfit for human use, and 644,688 were condemned in part. Thus a litle#more than 1 per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in whole or in part. These figures include only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations^ More than 32.644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 carcasses of swine were entirely rejected on account of this disease, and in addition, parts of 48,000 cattle and 40,000 swine. Hog cholera was responsible for the next largest loss, nearly 102,000 swine being condemned entirely on this account. The annual appropriation for the federal meat inspection service is now about $3,375,000, so that the cost to the people would be between 5 and 6 cents per animal and carcasses. In addition, however, great quantities of the meat and products are re-inspected. In this item there was a very considerable increase during the last fiscal year, the re-inspection resulting in the condemnation of a total of nearly 19,000,000 pounds of products of one kind or another. Furthermore 245,000,000 nrmnHc nf imnnrtod mpflt AT nrr>d ucts were inspected, and more than 2,000,000 pounds condemned or refused entry. In the course of its work, the bureau of animal industry, which is in charge of the meat inspection service, has discovered a new method of destroying trichinae in pork, which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a temperature of 5 degrees, F., or lower, for a period of 20 days, will destroy these parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious disease known as trichinosis. Hitherto the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cooking of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thoroughly cooked. The microscopic examination of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned as the usual methods have proved inefficient. In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaughtered in the past year in establishments under federal inspection than ever before. A total of 36,247,953 were inspected at the time of slaughter, and approximately -35,900,000 passed for food.

Denver.?For the first time in the history of the Denver county court the will of a man of whose death there is no record has been lodged with the clerk of the court.

He was then seventy-two j years old. A year later he disap- < near Ad. The family did not know of the existence of the will' until a few : days ago, when Attorney Edwin Parke discovered the document in his safe. \ Parke turned it over to the clerk of the court. MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS: Scarcity of Engineers Shown at Columbia University Since Outbreak of War.

CHILD SMOTHERS IN COTTON Littie Oklahoma Girl Digs Hole in Pile and Then Accidentally Tumbles In. i Guthrie, Olda.?The nine-year-old daughter of Paul Richey, a farmer living near Prague, thirty miles east of here, was "drowned" in a pile of cotton, in her father's field. When the little girl was missed, her parents started out to search for her. Her father finally saw her shoes on top of the huge mound af cotton, and closer examination disclosed her body buried, head first, in the fluffy mass. She evidently had dug a hole in the pile and then accidentally fallen into it. the loose cotton packing about her and smothering ner. Anti-Giri Club Formed.

"Serbian winters are severe, and! cheerless, with dull skies, and sharp,f damp winds scouring the valley, while intense cold settles upon the exposed uplands," says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. "In the lowlands adjacent to ic mild- I tilC IsantiDt', W1I11C1 twauivi ? . er, but the ground through many1 days is spongy with dampness. In, the mountainous districts, however, the cold is as bitter as that which deadens the Russian plains "during1 January and February, and most of (Serbia is included in the mountainous area. The north central section, in the Danube valley, the j -1 : northwest section, in tnc oavc v?u-j ley. and a belt, northwest, through; the heart of the country, tlie Mo-; rava valley, together, constitute the' sum total of the important lowland areas of Serbia. In the northern lowlands, the winters are like those of central Germany, while in the' A Foray a vallcv the cold is greater. "Cpiand Servia has only two clearly defined seasons?winter and summer/ There are scarcely any transition periods between the cold j and the heat. Sunfmer lasts between May and October, which latter! month is vvet and chilly. The chill wetness lasts sometimes well into November. Mists hover over the i valleys until toward noon, and con-1 geal on the mountain sides. Going! is accomplished through a charac-l terless damp, which is not snow, or ' * 4.^ ! slush, or mud, but an maeiermmaic combination of ill three, supported over the ground in a porous coating by a ribwork of frozen dew. The snowfall is considerable, and gen-j erally covers the hills throughout j I the winter. "Fluctuations in temperature are great.

Winters in the highlands of Serbia are as strenuous as those of Russia. "The lines of the contending armies are now drawn up through the areas visited by the coldest winter, which are found in the southern central parts of the kingdom. Here in the southern and central mountains, despite the fact that Serbia'climate is generally described as being mild, winter reigns with a stern arctic sway. Among the hardiest peasants in the Balkans, people inured to exposure, labor and all manner of difficulties, are bred in these cold uplands, and it is their homes which are now coming within the battle zones."
