automatic Counting of Letters.

Two officials Of the London Post
office have invented and patented a
method of automatically registering the
number of letters stamped. Tie count
ing may be done by mechanical or by
electrical means. la The first case small
counter similar to an engine counter, is
placed in the head or hand Of the hand
stamp, and each time the stamper pres
ses upon letter il is registered on the
counter. At the close Of the day the
stamp is opened, the number OF letters
stamped read off and registered, and the
countar set ready for the next days
work. In the second case, two methods
have been devised for electrically effect
ing the object. In one case the striking
of the linking pad causes electrical con-
tact to be made, which transmits cur
rent to a counter similar to that Of a
gas meter, and 50 regnters every letter
stamped. The other method is similar
in principle, but lever stamp is en-

The Seeds of nisnnsn

Most people think bad smells prolific
of infection, and carrion and decaying
matter generally to be breeders of dis
ease. Some are quite sati SIZED when
the foul air is deodorized, quite unaware
that the infective particles may re-
main the same. But we must not mis-
take here. Our success in battling with
epidemics viii depend on our getting at
the exact truth in the case. Liberia
soon becomes the grave of every white
man that goes there to stay; but the
keenest scent detects nothing OF malaria
in the atmosphere. All may be fra
GRANGE and beauty where yellow fever is
decimating the population. 1t was the
finest parts OF Chicago that We're ravaged
by scarlet fever, while the other parts
were almost exempt. Diphtheria has Of
late years had pr0portionately more vic
TINS in the mountainous regions of Mas
sachusetts than in Boston and our larger
cities.
The fact is, infectious diseases come
Of germs just as truly as the products of
orr fields come of the seed sown. These
germs are almost infinitely small, but
their mature plants-they are strictly
vegetable-have the power to multiply
at an almost infinite rate. Each disease
has it own germ. Smallpox cannot
come from typhoid germs nor measles
from scarlatina nor yellow fever from
cholera-and so universally. They must
come each from its own seed, as much
SO as wheat, corn, the apple, elm or
oak. They cannot come without seed,
for science knows Of no spontaneous
generation. But the seeds OF higher
order require good soil, and otherfavof-
able conditions. 1t is equally 50 with
the seeds OF disease. Their choicest soil
is filth, and there is no favoring condi-
ton equal to depressed state Of ones
physical system-whether depressed by
bad food, impure air, sensual indul-
gcnce, long-continued anxiety, fear,
watching, or undue fasting.
