s.Thirty Years in the Senafe .

Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island. is
now serving his fifth term in the United
States Senate, and, when completed, will
make thirty years of continuous service.
The only other Senator who has been
thus honored and who served for five
successive terms, Thomas Hart Benton

the Senate" and it is to be wished that
the graceful pen of Gov. Anthony could
record his experience, which. commence

terms. Charles Sumner was elected fonr
uMeS and served continuously for three
iull terms and part of another term
tWenty-three years. Henry Wilson was
elected four times and served two full
terms and parts of two other terms
twenty years.
William r. King, of Alabama. was
elected i've successive times. but did
qua not serve out his last term. as he re-
signed IN 1874, when elected Vice Presi-
oent. MIR. Benton did not really serve
tnlrty years, as he took his seat Oh the
10Th OF August, 1921, the day on which
the President made proclamation that
Missouri was State, and served until
March 3, 1851. He was a candidate for
reelection for sixth term, but was de-
feated on the fortieth ballot. He then
served one term In the House of Repre-
Sentatlves, but was defeated by the

Contagious Diseases.
LChicago Tribune.7

Contagious and epidemic diseases arc
doubtless to degree properly attr1buta-
BILE to unfavorable atmospheric condi.
tons. But the resources OF modern
civilization enable mankind largely to
encounter these unfavorable atm0spher-
&c conditions, and so to defy the pesti.
lence when was once a terror TO the
world. These diseases have almost
invariably originated in the east, and,
as they swept westward, their severity
has been mltigated in the ratio of the
more correct habits of life Of western
people as compared with those Of the
east. 10 a certain extent contagious
and epidemic diseases have moved with
the waves of human migration, 10 the
poor, the restless, and the disconnected
the west has always presented tue allur-
ing appearance of an Eldorado. And as
they have struggled to reach the prom
ised land they have naturally, through
WEAKNESS OF body and perplexity OF
mind, encountered or precipitated upon
themselves all Of the disease provoking
conditions of which mankind in distress
are heirs. Hence as we are under
obligations to the east for the germs of
all the practical arts, SO we may reproach
the east as the hot-bed of all the pesti-
lential diseases which have afflicted
mankind. It remains for the jewellers
of the west to put period to the spread
of pestilence which walketh in darkness.
as they are developing the germs of
eastern artinto perfected systems. This
darkness in which the pestilence of
ancient times walked can only be dis
PEELED by correct living. More than in
the atmosphere pestilence finds it's
origin in filth, and ignorance, and fear.
As physician lately remarked, the fear
of vaccination is akin to the belief in ana
of ghosts. Ghosts are never visible at
MONDAY. They are bred in darkness.
When the darkness of ignorance shall
have been banished the last ghost will
have made his last appearance ON the
stage of human life. And when enlight-
eminent shall have compelled universal
cleanliness Of the person, the house, and
the street there will be no
more pestilence. Cholera, small
pox, plague, black death, and sweating
sickness will be known only as specters
of the past-that dim, half-revealed past
whence the modern world has derived
its philosophy, its religion, and its moral
ethics, not less than its theory of mixed
good and evil IN the matter of political
economy

The Esrth's Surface.

Prof. Charles S. Hastings, in q recent
lecture at Johns Hopkins University,
gave an outline OF the leading theories
IN regard to the physical character of
the earth. Although there are a great
many theories, they may be reduced to
two d stinctive ones. According to the
first. the interior OF the earth is fluid
covered with thin crust, about thirty
miles or thereabout IN thickness. The
advocates of the second theory hold
that the earth is practically a solid
sphere. Among the reasons given for
sustaining the first theory, the following
are, perhaps, the principal, namely: AS
we go down i'll mines, wells and other
underground caverns, it has been as
certained that the heat increases in a
ratio of one degree for every 100 feet of
descent below the sum- influence. This
theory is also supported by the occur
ence of volcanic eruptions and earth
quakes, and the existence of hot springs.
Those who put forth the second theory
also support it by two arguments. They
hold that if the center of the earth were
a liquid and the outer surface a solid.
the heavier portion would go to the CEN
ter. Again, the weight of the crust Of
the earth is about two and one-half
times that of water; the weight OF the
earth is known. From this, it may be
deduced that in order to make up the
entire weight, it must be seven times as
heavy as water at the center. The lect-
urer briefly discussed the two theories,
and said that, if the two theories were
modified, they could be reconciled, and
that this mean would probably be the
true theory. The interior of the earth
is most probably fluid of the consis-
tency of tar.

How Flies Climb.

Herr III. DEWITT has communicated to
the Berlin Society of Natural History
some facts that bear very strongly
against the generally received theory
that flies adhere to perpendicular walls
and ceilings by virtue of some sucking
power in their feet. He asserts that
the feet of flies can not possess the suck
ing property ascribed to them, for they
are hard and destitute of muscles. The
theory has long been contradicted by
the experiments of Blackwell, who found
that flies could climb the sides Of a jar
under the receiver of an air pump, where
there was no atmospheric pressure; and
who asserted that the power of adher-
ence was due to sticky matter secreted
from the foot-hairs of flies This asser-
ton was generally regarded as not
proved, and the case has rested there.
DEWITT reports that his Investigations
have shown that Blackwell was right.
He has watched the oxidation Of the
sticky matter from the feet of the flies
by fastening one Of the insects to the
under side of a plate of glass and view
ing it under the microscope. Apcrfect-
ly clear liquid was seen to flow from the
ends of the foot-hairs and attach the
foot to the glass. When the foot was
lifted up, to be put down in another
place, the drops of the sticky matter
were perceived to be left on the glass,
in the exact place where the footrhairs
had rested. The adhesive fluid appears
to pass down through the hollow of the
hair, and to be derived from glands
which Leydig discovered in the folds of
the foot In 1859. A similar adhesive
matter appears to be possessed by bugs,
by many larvae, and probably by all in
sects that climb the stems and the under
sides of the leaves of plants.

Milk for Typhoid Fever.

Surgeon General Barnes, about three
years ago, heard of an allopathic physi-
clan in Virginia who, it is alleged, never
failed to cure typhoid fever. AS there
were many patients in the United States
army dying with that disease, Gen.
Barnes concluded to visit the ancient
Virginia doctor and learn how he treated
his typhoid patients. When he met the
old gentleman Gen. Barnes inquired ::
"What is the mode OF treatment by
which you succeed ?" "Why," replied
the venerable physician, sits the SIM
plest thing IN the world. All you've got
to do is to get the patients stomach in
good order and then diet them on but
termilk: that's all. I never lose pa
tient. If he isn't in collapsed condition
when get to him." Surgeon General
Barnes tells me that he adopted the but
termilk treatment among the soldiers in
the army, and has found it most effica-
cious. 1t appears that some ten years
ago the medical scientists of France and
Russia compared notes as to the use of
plain sweet milk in the treatment of
their hospital typhoid patients, and con-

is of wonderful efficacy in typhoid
cases, but in the treatment of fevers
