my reputation as public man if the
worst case of small pox cannot be effec,

neverfailing remedy: One ounce Of

"a very good authority, DR.. e. b.
Wood, says that it cannot now be
denied that single vaccination does
not afford the permanent security it
was supposed to do. Probably
nearly one-half. of those vaccinated
successfully are liable TO more or
less effect from the variolous cOnta-
gion, though tits asserted that when
the operation is performed with
four or more insertions instead of
one the proportion of the protection
is much greater Now, again, Mr..
Simon, in his famous report, says
that he was much struck with the
fact that persons who had been vac
cinated-years before, and who dur
ing this. interval had perhaps re-
peatediy resisted small pOx, would
at length in certain proportion of
their number yield to the Infection"
1t most frequently happened dur
ing tie times when small pox was
severely epidemic among the, I'M,
vaccinated, and when lacge masses
of persons with vaccination of many
years were exposed TO the test of y
strong epidemic influence. Under
this ordeal it became evident that
for some vaccinated persons the in-
susceptibility conferred by cowpox
not of lifelong duration, and from a
careful analysis of cases it was shown
that this lessened security OF certain
vaccinated persons bore at least
some proportion to the number of
years which in each case had elapsed

THE ATMOSPHERIC phenomena peculiar
to the Western plains seem to manifest un-
usual violence this year. 1t is rcmarka-
bic fact, however, that no one Of the fierce
hurricanes has yet struck any of the more
considerable centres of population. Kansas
City, st. Louis, Burlington, Des Moines and
one or two other places of considerable pop
ulation have from time to time been mar
rowly missed, but never fairly hit. What
such blast as wrecked the hapless village
of Grinnell would do in city like those we
have named battles conjecture. The vio-
lence of those storms is absolutely in
conceivable to people who have passed their
lives east of the Allegheny Mountains.
We were caught in one while hunting
prairie chickens in Sac County, Iowa, some
years ago, and have no desire to witness
another. Its track appeared to cover a
space of about two hundred feet in width,
and every moveable thing within that limit
was swept away as by the cowcatcher of a
colossal engine, running sixty miles an
hour. Science has as yet evolved no salts
factory explanation of these phenomena.
Some meteorologists advance the theory
that they are caused by contact Of swiftly
moving masses of meteoric gases with the
earth's surface; but if this were true, why
should the area in which they rage be SO
circumscribed?
The more plausible doctrine is that they
are caused by conflicting air currents, of
different temperatures meeting upon wide
expanses where there is no considerable in
equality Of the earths surface to obstruct
their motion, thus enabling them to gather
momentum and power unknown TO regions
defended by mountain ranges. In any as
pect the question is one of vast interest
which must constantly increase as the
rapid settlement of the infested regions
augments the chances of damage to prop
erty and destruction to life.
