The Germ Theory of Disease.

MORE than century ago Linnaeus, who
is called the father of botany, propoun-
ded the germ theory of disease. 1t remain
ed however, only theory and to many,
very fanciful one, down to a very recent
date; and it is due to the very high state
of perfection at which the modern micro
scope has arrived, and the persistent
labours Of such scientists as Tyndall Of
England, Obermeier of Berlin, and
Richardson of this country, that the germ
theory of disease, from a mere theory,
has become we'll nigh proven fact.
l propose first, to state the germ theory
of disease; second, what of it is proven.
First, then, the germ theory Of disease
proposes to account for all disease and
death by the following proposition. The
spores or germs Of minute fungoid plants
float about in the atmosphere and find
their way into the blood of the patient /;
that there they germinate and develope
into countless millions of plants; that
this termination and growth vitiates the
blood, producing what we call fever, and
thence, disease, and if the attack be violent
enough, death.
What then has been proven to establish
this bold hypothesis. As the proof and
the history of the hypoth go together,
will give brief outline of both, / can do
nothing more in newspaper article.
When, by the discovery of hither to un-
known optical laws, the microscope grew
to be more than wonderful toy, it was
found that water, in certain cases, warmed
with minute beings endowed with life. Fol
long time these minute beings were re-
garded as mere objects of curiosity, and

The Board officials failed to appreciate
Mr.. Cory, either in his loa6ng, or orna-

result of this lack of acumen on their
part.
If Mr.. Cory knew anything whatever
about the soil, Or its capabilities, he would
be well aware that Norwegian farmers

they have done we'll on much worse land

How the various reports of the failure
Of Rugby, which reach us from all sides,
are to be accounted for; and what is the
true cause of them? are questions that
must naturally present themselves to all
those who take an interest in the Colony.
1t must be evident to all that the cli-
mate and soil cannot have completely
changed in twelve months, and the lauda-
tory notices contained in the very Papers
that are now loudest in their denuncia-
tions must still be remembered by many
of our readers. How then are we TO
account for these continual attacks, and
the widespread dissatisfaction felt in the
Colony itself? To those who have been
living here the answer is easy enough
mis-management and incapacity on the
part of the Board of Aid. Unfortunately
the outside public fail to discriminate
between failure Of management, and failure
of location. They merely see, or hear,
that discomfort is rife in the Colony, and
that the inhabitants are daily leaving the
town for other parts of the United States.
The natural inference is that there is
something radically wrong with the soil
and climate; for, it would Of course be
concluded that. the Board Of Aid would
have done their best to push the colony,
and employed competent men to carry
out their instructions,
The climate is admirable, and the out
break of typhoid fever is not the slightest
proof to the contrary, for it was confined
entirely to those who boarded at, or OBJ
tanned water from, the Hotel Tabard !;
and is merely an additional proof of the
results of incapacity and mismanagement.
The situation of the town is exceedingly
beautiful, and it possesses every natural
advantage required to make it one Of the
most popular health resorts in the Union.

The present status of mining in the
district may be best illustrated BY q short
account Of two large and growing concerns
recently visited by the writer.
l. The Coal Greek mines of the Knox
vile Iron Co., lying about 40 miles NV.
from Knoxville, in the eastern face of the
Cumberland Mountains, are located on
the western slope of an inner valley which
runs at the back Of Walden's Ridge. The
measures, thrown nearly vertical in the
latter by the great downthrow which
courses at its eastern foot, have with the
recession of about Z mile into the noun
tain attained almost complete horizon
tality, dipping gently to the S.W. The
height of outcrop above the sea is about
900 feet, and about 100 feet above rails
at the depot of the Knoxville and Ohio
R.R. Long plain shoots, with fall Of 80
or 40 feet, take the coal from the end of
the mine road to the railroad cars the
shoots are distant about + mile from the
pit entry, the road falling gently to them.
The mine cars carry about ton, are
heavily built, shelving out above the
wheels: gauge of road about three feet,
rails iron of about % lbs. The hauling
is done by small mules: they are clever
and docile in mine, eat little, work hard
and cannot be used up combination of
qualities which would appear to recon-
mend to the British coalmaster a quad
ruped hitherto unknown.
The main entry is now nearly 1000
yards long, driven straight, due West !:

the middle, but no weight has come on

the left, with pillar Of IL or Is yards,

differences Of opinion that may arise, affect
ing the welfare Of Rugby. and by such
discussion to arrive at any rate at an amic-
able agreement to differ.

No Colony was ever started under such
advantageous circumstances as New Rug
by or with better prospects of ultimate
success; and, were the place properly
managed, it would become in short time
thriving colony. Everything that mis-
management and incapacity could do to
kill the place has been tried with laud-
able persistency worthy of a better cause,
and the Board Of Aid Office has long
been byword for snobbish incivility.
Mr.. Hastings Hughes may not possess
all the qualities necessary to make
successful Director of an enterprise like
this, but he is universally popular; and it
is mainly owing to his influence that the
Board have been saved from making
still greater fasco of the whole affair.
That there must be complete change
Of management, and considerable out
lay Of money, before Rugby can recover
its lost prestige is an admitted fact by all
who have watched the enterprise for the
past twelve months; and the sooner the
cleaning Of the Augean stables commences
the better it will be for all concerned.
The advantages of fruit garden ara
many, and all farmers should have one.
Now is a good time to choose place and
prepare it for raising fruit of the smaller
sorts. The soil should be we'll drained
and rich. Strawberry plants may be set
out until the coming of the frosts, after
which the soil of the beds should be
covered with litter, putting it slightly over
the plants. There is no great gain, as to
the fruit, in planting Strawberries late
but the soil is in better condition now
than in spring, and work. is not SO pressing.
No crop can be expected the next season
unless potted plants are set. Two feet
between the rows will be the distance
most suitable for working small cultiva-
tor among the plants. Blackberry and
Raspberry plants had better be set out in
the fall, as they start growing SO early il
the spring. Blackberries should be 6 OF
8 feet apart in rows, and the Raspberrie'
about by feet. In picking the Grapes
for market it is best to use the grape
scissors, which allow the bunch to be re-
moved without handling and defacing thu
bloom. The thin-skinned varieties, likt
the Concord, will not keep long, but thu
tough-skinned kinds, at the Catawba, Iona
and Diana, may be preserved in goot

Among those who have for a long
time been at the top of fortunes tree,
are the great British brewers at
Burton-on Trent, but even they have
now for some time been threatened
with diminished profits. The first

Of Bow, near London; but gradually
the Basses and Alsopps, of Burton
on-Trent got hold of the trade and
made it their own. Bass grandfather

johnson used to pay visits to his
friend the rich parson there. He
owned the enormous vans, with four
horses, which then did all Of the

his accumulated profits his son

too, Aourishing breweries are cutting
into BASS trade, while here lager beer
is a serious competitor. In Guinness
stout the falling off is far less marked,
because it is so largely prescribed as a
tonic, and, moreover, many persons
can take it who cannot take iale. Mr..
Bass, worth some $6,000,0OO, is a very
public-spirited citizen Of munifcent
character. He has long been in Par

please, have from Mr. Gladstone a ba-

General Hazen believes that Captain
Howgate's defalcation will amount to
100000. 1t begins to look very prob
able that Howgate fitted out the Gull
mare expedition with money stolen
from the government. He received
credit for being very public spirited,
self sacrificing man for this job, and
he should now be sent to tiud the
North Pole in skiff. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Kansas City
Times says of this megatherium fraud:
He used his ill-gotten gains in
public display, such as the erection of
houses, the purchase of steam yachts
aud the luxury ola mistress. He be-
came highly notorious ornament.
Some people were inclined to overlook
the rascality of his character out of
compliment to his well-flled wallet.
But this is so general in Washington
that such a thing fails to excite com
ment. He also undertook to find the
North Pole, and had his name associ-
ated with the enterprise in half the
scientific magazines Of the world.
Congress somehow came to the con
clusion that the pole could get along
without the assistance of Mr.. How
gate, and refused financial aid
Then he blufed it through on his
own account. He chartered ram
shackle craft called the Gulnare, to
which various geographical societies
had contributed vast sums Of money,
and turned it loose in the arctic re-
eions. 1t got about as far as Halifax,
when the bottom dropped out Of the
concern, and she came back with her
tail between her legs. And it should
be mentioned in this connection that
Howgate has never made any return
to these societies of the money they
advanced to help along his scheme,
This will soon be investigated. This
imposing fraud, having a corner
on things in the Signal Office, made
the bills to suit himself. He
did a great deal of telegraphing
on government accounts, but it seems
there was nothing defective in his
methods. He charged the govern.
ment enormous sums Of money that
never reached the telegraph company

SOME thoughtless people may have
wasted the water when there was any
to waste, but they do not do so any
more. There is none to waste. A
meter Of which Judge Latham speaks
if required in every house would
furnish an interesting record, mostly
composed of ciphers or decimal frac-
tions; where people are entitled to
barrels Of water it would appear that
they do not receive gallons. Let us
have the meter by all means, even if
the water company has to pay for it.
TO make its hands go around, how
ever, it would have to be exposed to
