light and cold. 1t has been noticed that
violent hurricanes allay contagious diseases,
and presume no ore has escaped noticing
how much better the air of our city is in cold
than in warm weather.
But we can not claim to have a control
over the action of such agents of nature,
though il is true we may modify them - a
certain extent
1t is found that nature needs the assist
ance of art 10 overcome the disposition of
cities to breed disease.
1t is to the artificial disinfectants that we
must look for improving the healthfulness
of the city and of our homes. We are all
too careless about protecting ourselves and
families against disease.
Probably one of the best disinfectants is a
comparatively new compound called sail
cylic acid, winch, though costly, is proba-
bly, one of the best that can be used for
some purposes. The next is car
bolic acid, with which have
experimental some myself and
for most purposes it has no superior The
crude acid answers all of tie purposes of
more costly material. The chief objection
to the use of this substance is that its OdOr is
very offensive to many persons. But it GER
tainly does its work well. 1t may be used
either in the liquid form or as carbOlate of
lime. Chloride OF lime for outdoor purpo-
SEES is probably the cheapest and most efec
tive When it is used about stables or where
the proprietOrs wish to save the manure it is
found that it Injuries the value of the ma
nure very much, and for this reason it is
not improbable that many stable is the
cause of much harm to the whole neighbor
hood because the use of this simple disinfec-
tant would cause the proprietor to lose few
dollars
There are many other excellent disinfect-
ants, such as charcoal, chlorGte of potash,
burning sulphur and coal tar, but it is of
little use to name them and tell of their
good properties, unless We can induce peo-
pie to use them. The cold weather keeps
down all the mischief that can come from
filth at present, but should warm weather
come on gradually in the spring, we may be
pretty sure that there will be much sickne: s.
If, however, there should be large amount
of rain so as to carry off the waste material
which has been thrown out and will con-
tinue TO accumulate about the city, it is
probable much of the trouble will be
avoided. Yet L DO not think there is any
thing better for the public health than the
free use of disinfectants.

MeissOnier's great picture, the Staff of the
Emperor Napoleon III. at Solferino, has
been wantOnly injured in the Luxembourg

canvas have lately been discovered at New
Orleans, which on being put together were

peared from Rome in 1927.

VI. Legros, the etcher, has made sensa-
ton in England. The Athenaum says of
his new portrait of Cardinal Manning that
"had Titan or, above all, TintOretti painted
snch head, and given so much vigor of
character to his transcript, we should have
hailed the type as historical-one which in
that time and in life was portentous.
An interesting letter written in French in
the year 1911. about one month before his
death, by Van Dyck to Cardinal Richelieu,
is onc OF a collection of autographs soon to
be sold in Paris. The great portrait painter
expresses his wish TO go to Paris and receive
the cardinals commands. Meantime he is
very anxious ito get back to his house in
England with all diligence"

Disfnfecfanfs.

The interesting subject Of disinfectants
was discussed by Prof John A. Myers before
the same society in the following paper:
Without wishing in the least to trap,ple
upon the province of the doctors, desire to
direct attention to the Importance of disin-
fectants, nave not the slightest doubt
that IL we could induce people to be more
careful about destroying infectious matter,
the health of the country would be greatly
improved. If one goes along the back
streets and alleys of the city, he will find
the ground covered with filth. Small dead
animals, the refuse matter of all kinds from
the houses along the street and the drip
pings and wastes of the stables all combine
to raise stencil which must cause disease
directly, and often indirectly, by contain
mating the water of wells, etc.
The object of disinfectants is to remove
these causes of disease. Without entering
largely into the discussion OF the manner in
which such matter causes disease. | will say
that whether we consider the sickness to be
the result of gradual wearing down of the
energies of the system by breathing the
gases, or consider il to be the result of the
action of bacteria and other organic growths
upon the system, the beneficial effects of the
disenfectants are the same. IL the disease
be caused by breathing the gases (which
doubt very much( the dislnfectantS act by
decomposing those gases, and thus relieve
them of their poisonous properties If,
however, the diseases be caused by micro
copic germs or cells then the disinfectants
act by killing the germs and dissolving the
cells.
1t is curious fact that whichever of these
theories we accept as the explanation of dis
ease, the good qualities of the disinfectant
may be used as an argument In its favor.
The disinfectant that decomp0ses the gasses
is equally good to kill the germs and dis
solve the cells. If you measure its power as
disinfectant by the quantity of decompos-
ing those poisonous gases, you also measure
its power of killing germs and dissolying
cells.
Nature has provided many excellent dis
infectants, such as air, earth, light, heat and

An old sea captain writes to the London
Times a possible explanation of mysterious
disasters at sea. He says: cover and over
again rocks have been seen in the Atlantic
by captains, officers and all hands. Various
British governments have sent out ships
which have searched for them in vain, and,
because these ships have failed to find what
hundreds have seen with their own actual
eyesight. these dangers have therefore
been expunged from the charts. The po-
sition given by those who have seen them
is, in most cases obtained by dead reck-
oning, and therefore is only approx
mate; consequently it is a most difficult
task to find them again. My own impress
sion is that in many, or at least some cases,
rocks have really been seen. believe they
have been thrown up by volcanic agency,
and have disappeared in the same way. In
the many slecks of earthquakes which run
through Europe, think 1t is reasonable to
suppose that such may happen in the great
bed of the Atlantic In support of my Le-
lief, see that an American frigate, about a
month ago, discovered bank off Cape st.
Vincent, upon which she anchored in seven
or ten fathoms. This bank has probably
gone down and up again, since the English
brig Pilgrim reported one in about the same
place as lar back ~ ls2G."

The book reviewer of the London Times,
in notice of recent novels, makes the fol-
lowing shrewd remark: 1.-The humor OF the
American miner seems to have taken the
place in fiction formerly occupied by Irish
wit or Scotch quiet craftiness, just as the
Yankee, with his cool courageand ready pis-
toll, but supplanted the Englishman on the
foreign stage"

Governor Williams expressed himself as
much fattered by this assurance of esteem,
and said that he trusted that his course
would be such as to convince the democracy
of Shelbyville that their confidence had not
been misplaced. The occasion was in all re-
spects a pleasant time for all concerned.

INAUGURAL "REMINISCENCES.
Speeches Presenting the "Boss Pole
Canes to the Governors.
They Reflect slse Feeling and Sentiment
of the People of Old shelby ON
the Situation.

One of the most notable occurrences Of
last Monday was the presentation of canes
made from the famous "bOss pole"
of Shelbyville by the democracy
of that city to Governors Hendricks and
Williams. Owing to the pressure upon the
Sentinels columns made by the TerbGtim re-
port of the convention it was impossible to
give full account of the above mentioned
event in the paper of the next morning. In
Justice, however, TO the lion hearted demOc-
racy of old Shelby, the Sentinel now pub
fishes the speeches made on the occasion,
which are eminently suggestive of the pO-
litical feeling and temper of the people in
that section.
