Although preceded and followed In the preaidenttul office by men who had received long and thorough college and unlveralty training, which he lucked, there la, nevertheless not one of them the equal of Abraham Lin coln, In clarity, brevity and felicity of expression.

Every dairy herd in the United States that on July 1 bad been offlclal- l ly accredited aa free from tuberctiloaia or that bad panned successfully one test with a view to certification, la list ed In a publication Just Issued by the bureau of animal Industry, United (States department of agriculture. Coplea of the list are available for the use of atate and municipal official and private persona. Certificate of freedom from tubercu losis are soon to be Issued by the bu reau of animal Industry to all the owners of the accredited herds. Cer tificate No. 1 Is to go to the United States Soldiers' Home In the District of Columbia. The Holsteln-Frieslan dairy herd at this Institution Includes 184 registered pure-bred cows and la one of the oldest accredited herds In the United States. Control with a view to the eventual eradication of tuberculosis In cattle Is being accomplished by systematic ef forts of federal and state authorities In co-operutlon with cuttle breeders associations and herd owners. A definite plan was adopted In 1017 whereby herds of cattle passing the prescribed number of official tuberculin teata should be certified or accredited as free from tuberculosis. An accredited herd Is one that has successfully passed two annual or three semiannual tuberculin tests ap plied by regularly employed veterinary Inspectors of the bureau of animal In dustry or of the state where co-operative work Is conducted, and has other wise complied with the regulations governing the work. If the status of any of the accred ited herds should be changed, prompt notice Is to be given to the officials of the vnrlous states. . Additional lists are to be published from time to time. FOOT-AND-MOUTH AILMENTS New Outbreak Occur In England Which May 8pread to United 8Utea Keep Sharp Watch. (Prepared by the United State Depart ment of Agriculture.) Public officials, veterinarians and stock owners should be on guard to re port immediately any cases of. foot-and-month disease that may appear in this country, according to a statement by Dr. J. 1L Mohler, chief of the bureau Of animal Industry, United States de partment of agriculture. Doctor Moh ler .said : "Recent cable news announces an ontbrenk of foot-and-mouth disease In England which brings to mind the se rious outbreaks of that disease which have been experienced in the United States. "Foot-and-mouth disease has appear ed In England from time to time, as it has done hi the United States. In both countries the past outbreaks have been promptly controlled and eradicat ed and no cases have occurred in the United States since 1910. Neverthe less the disease makes Its appearance at irregular intervals. In this country we may expect Its return at any time, nlthough every precaution Is being tak en by the federal authorities to prevent the introduction of the disease, espe cially from the present outbreak in England. So long as communication A New Outbrekk of Foot-and-Mouth . Disease Haa Occurred In England. la maintained with other countries the danger Of the Introduction of tie dis ease must be acknowledged. . "It Is of the greatest Importance that, a sharp watch be maintained by all offi cials, by practicing veterinarians, and by stock owners in order that the very first cases may be discovered and the spread of the disease prevented. It would be a great misfortune to the United States If foot-and-mouth dls- I ease should occur under present condl I tlons or become firmly established In the country, as has been the case in 1 many of the stock-raising nations of continental Europe. 1 Early discovery of the disease followed by prompt elim ination of Infected centers, is the only way to prevent the United States from becoming permanently Infected."

Sulphuric acid is made from sir, wa ter and the fumes from burning auk' phur. These are all cheap, common materials, but they won't unite with out strenuous provocation ordinarily. Platinum furnishes a mild provocation, the mere presence of a trace of It causing the oxygen, water and sulphur to join hands chemically, and the klng of chemicals Is born.
