Washington, l>. April .10.—
The wool schedule will come up
for passage today and a hitler
light is predicted. The western
congressmen are determined to
have a 113 percent- taritl on wool
and the administration Demo
crats want it free. Western
Democratic congressmen say

ly follow such act ion,hut the Wil
son Democrats assert that I he
parly pledges made Iasi tall must
he carried out and I hat the pre
dicted hard times is nothing Iml
a hooga-hoo.
The attempt made yesterday to
put wheat and citrous fruits on
I he free list failed. The growers
insist upon a higher larill than
I lie present Republican cale and

MONEY HEUM
IS IMPOSSIBLE
Administration..Democrats Fear
That Tariff Will Require
All of Present Session.
Washing!. I>. April H>.
ll is freely predicted by Ihe ad
ministration Democrats Ilial they
have no expectation of securing
currency reform legislation this
session as Ihe light among Ihe
Democrats has made it impossi
ble lo secure I heir co-operation in
any administration measure.
From paesenl. indications il
will require all Ihe present ses
sion to come lo an agreement up
on the lari if. It is conceded that
Alaska legislation is out of the
question unless tariff affairs take,
a decided I urn for the better.
Testing Eggs With X-rays.
Tile National Association of
I'oultrymen ol' England has in
vestigated a.scheme lor (listing
I lie freshness of eggs by means of
(he X-rays. A dark room is used
in. which a Crookes vacuum tube
is suspended. Tile lube is covered
with a shade that leaves an op
ening .just large enough for a
lien’s egg. The fluorescent screen
is placed horizontally beneath tlie
opening, so that the operator ran
se'e the kind of “shadow" the egg
throws with the least loss of
lime, if the image is quite clear
l lie egg is “strictly fresh" and is
placed in the iirst-elass. If the
screen shows a small spot or
shadow the egg is placed in the
second class. If tile spot is large
i lie egg is rejected.
The association is made up of
forty subsidiary societies distrib
uted over twenty districts and its
members supply the London mar
ket witli about two hundred thou
sand eggs every week. The larger
houses handle only “candled
eggs. Hut the X-rays enable the
examiner to discover spots that
are quite invisible when the ordi
nary "candling" is used as a
means uf testing. The egg mer
chants of Denmark are contem
plating liie establishing I tie X-ray
test in that country.

O'Hara, of tin* slule vice inves

Diseases of Metals.
Metals sutler from contagious
diseases analogous to those of
living tidings. Among these dis
eases one of the most striking is
that called "tin pest.". Some
times a block, a plate, or medal
of tin attacked by this disease
crumbles and falls into dust, and
some lime warty protuberances
appear on the surface of the met
al. Various other metals slider
from a disease that manifests it
self by a spontaneous recrystal
lization. The most remarkable
cases occur with lead and hard
drawn brass. These diseases are
not due, as has been thought,
simply to moisture. Temperature
plays a part in producing them.
The most extraordinary fact, per
haps, is that the “tin pest” is
capable of spreading by contag
ion.

Patients.
Washington. I). April 1(1.—
The government health hoard has
reipiesled from l)r. Friedman to
know why he has discontinued
his experiments and has ordered
him to immediately continue the
treatimpiI of those to whom tie
lias already given his injecions.
Tin* action of the Herman doc
tor in allowing patients who have
received several injections to re
ceive no furl tier treatment has
caused the ad ion of the marine
surgeons, who condemn the ac
tion as unprofessional. The doc
tor is accused hy many of the pro
fession of playing to the galleries
and also lining his pockets with
American gold. The treatment is
said hy many scientists to he no
thing new and will for a short,
lime cause a marked improve
ment, but it is not permanent.-.
The health department of New
York City also refuse to allow the
doctor a permit to practice until
ho has demonstrated the worth of
his serum upon animals. Bui he
insists that he will not disclose
the secret of his new euro nor
tirsl treat animals. He has left
for Toronto, Can., and has inject
ed several hundred at the latter
place and also many in New York,
whom hr has also abandoned, al

The Evolution of Wall Paper.
Tlu> idea of adorning walls with
paper appdars to have originated
in China, where it was so employ
ed as early as the fourth ccn
lury. It seems to have remain
mi unknown to western nations
until the sixteenth century, when
Holland, at the height of her na
val supremacy, borrowed the no
tion from the Chinese and intro
duced it in I he rest of Europe.
In China Hie lirsl wall papers
were printed from blocks, painted
by hand, and stamped with great
seals. Modern ingenuity provid
ed rolls of such paper showing
a continuous duplicate of design
unite unknown to the Celestials.
t'nlil the end of the seventeenth
century the imported product
was well-night prohibitive in
price except for the very wealthy,
and it was not until the middle of
the eighteenth century that wall
paper was a common article of
commerce1. The lirsl European
papers were made in imitation of
tapestry. It\ the lime of the
