Analysis.
An analysis of the table shows that
the ratio of incarcerated felons to pop-
ulation was considerably smaller last
month than for any previous date ex-
cept. 1896. although for six years prior
to this 1110 prison census irregularly
tended toward expansion: that from
1806 to 1902 the proportion of misde-
meanants to population steadily dc.
cllned and that It is smaller now than
for any previous year except 190i and
1902; and that the general tendency in
the ratio of confined juvenile delin
ouents to population has been toward
shrinkage, the proportion being Imailer
this year than for any previous June
90 except in 1902. But the census of
Juvenile offenders is much more stable
than the figures for either felons or

Quantity of Crime.
A natural inference to be drawn
from the two tables is that during the
past six years crime has been on the
decrease in Connecticut. in 1897 both
the aggregate number of prisoners and
also the ratio of offenders to population
were at the highest point, but since
that date the drift. of the statistics has
been toward shrinkage, although that
drift has been arrested this year,
Of course, the figures for a single day
of the year are not so complete and
satisfactory as the average daily crim-'
lual population for the year would be.
But the figures for the corresponding
dates through arteries of years accur-
ately indicate-rthe'geueral tendency of
the criminal census.
in taking the‘numbcr of confined of-
senting the volume of crime for that
period one statistical fact. as formerly
noted, herein. is obvious. The embar-
rassment may be found in the fact that
convictions do not take place at the
time of the crime. The convictions of
one calendar year represent in part
crimes committed during that year and
in part offenses that'took place during
the precedln year.
Perhaps t 9 most interesting feature
of this y r s penal statistics is the de-
creases in he prison census and the in-
crease in the jail population During
the past year the Judges of the super.
ior court have committed to jail an un-
usually large number of criminals con-
victed of OEenses punishable by im-
prisonment either in Jail or in state
prison.- Moreover. the .indeterminntss
and which has very stringent
provisions against habitual criminals
has probably tended to chec the gon-
uecticut operations of the p olesslonal
offenders who formerly made preda~
tow-excursions from New York city

prosperlty. with its large opportunities

eratlvo wages .'l’he idleness which is

The Agricultural Station at New

port on Food roducts. a pamphlet of
180 pa on A part of the report con-
sists 0 papers regarding the micron
coplc anatomy of edible be ries. the
sorgliunis and the seeds 0 wheat
screenings as well as notes of chem
lunl methods which are of technical
interest and value chiefly to those on
gngod in the examination of foods and
the detection of auditor-ants.
[The main body of the report, how;
ever. is an account of the examination
of food products bought in the Con-
11: uticui. market within ihe your.
01! the 292 samples of milk bought
from delivery carts a little ov'cr 10
per cent were udulterated chleiiy by
watering or skimming, but also in
four cases by preservatives and in
seven cases by yellow dyes added to
give a rich color.
The ao-cullcd “temperance drinks,"
as well as the ”fruit syrups" and flav-
ors used in making them. are in the
larger number of cases dyed with'oni
lines and preserved with salicylic or
benzoic acid.
About one-third of the samples of
lard examined were adulterated with
and sometimes chiefly composed of
cotton seed oil and beef stearin.
01’ the spices examined. about 17
per cent. were adulterated or below
standard. wheat screenings, cocoanui
sliells.tblscult crumbs. corn meal and
dirt being the chief adulterants.
An article on the manufacture.

colsto and cocoa gives analyses of 45
different brands of cocoa. of which 12
were adulterated with flour,

A considerable number of food pro-
ducts. other than those above .uamsd.
are noticed in this report, and illuav
irate the ingenuity of manufacturers
in clicapening their wares and at the
same time making them perfectly re-
semble in, appearance unadulterated
and high grade articles.
it will be noticed that most of: the
adulteranis are cheap make weights

not certainly be classed as injurious

with milk in to be regarded as dan-
gerous to the public health and may
result in the loss of infant life. The
free use of certain “temperance
drinks" containing artificial "fruit
flavors" which are mixtures of chemi-
cals. particularly by people who are
fatigued or over-healed. may lead to
serious consequences.
