derful patience and skill, practical realiza-
ton from theoretical possibility. Hereto
fore the insurmountabe difficulty has laid
in the fact that there was no
known way of following the ex-
perimental method inasmuch as
human virus seemed incapable of
injecting the lower animals. Gamoleia sue
ceeded in producing virus so deadly that
single drop would prove fatal to either
guinea pig or pigeon. That was the first
great stride. He had now the means for ex
re--iment. He could cultivate according to
the usual chemical methods starting with
human virus, bacillus, almost
harmless. He had also found bacil-
ius of a most virulent type. If
a pigeon or guinea-dig could be brought to
resist this last form of cholera virus which
would ordinarily kill these creatures with
absolute certainty, they might be fairly con-
sidered as havingp erfect immunity from the
disease. This is precisely what Gamalca
has accomplished. He found that a series
of noculations with weaker preparations
rendered the bird or animal perfectly indif
ferent to the most violent cholera virus. The
same reasoning applies to man. AS l said,
one would run hardly any risk in making the
experiment, for the weaker bacilli are ncapa-
bic of iniuring even pigeon. BY following
the progressive method we should gradually
arrive at complete immunity"

estimated by competent judges that the En-
glish wheat harvest will prove one of the
worst Of the country.
''Did not an old authority say, Tell me the
summers temperature and will tell you the
wheat crop! This seems likely to prove
good this year. The temperature has been
excessively low, and the freezing point has
been reached on more than one occasion
even in July and August. This result must
be more annoying from the fact that q larger
breadth of wheat has been sown than last
year, and that through the earlier months, up
to the end of June, it looked remarkably
well everywhere. The low temperature and
excessive rainfall in July, however, utterly
destroyed the good prospect, and left the
wheat farms stranded.
"In France the wheat harvest is also very
bad. This is due to similar weather to that
experienced in England. Advices report that
the new wheat is so soft and out of condition
that it is quite unfit for marketing
austria Hungary and Germany have
only poor crop, and the harvest is finished.
The quantity is a fair average, but it is gen.
orally of an inferior quality Russia has a
fair crop, but here also wheat has been very
bad, and in both central and southern Rus
sia large quantities of grain are reported
damaged. Spain has also poor crop
'No other European country has sufficient
areas under wheat to be entitled to a place in
the computation but it may be said that
from no substantial area in Europe is there a
wholly satisfactory report Brilliant weather,
of which there is at present but faint pros
pect, may create pause for a few days, but
the inevitable tendency in prices is upwards,
and from the present low ranges much
higher prices are to be anticipated.

From the ~. LOUIS tATOhtctS.
Governor Morehouse has sudden
ly discovered that he is very un-

that strong feeling in favor of
Mayor Francis is growing up there.
The governor has been paying
special attention to the southwest,
and has travelled over that part of
the State making his best speeches,
consequently he was startled when
he heard of his weakness there.
Last week he sent for Ellis H..
Taney, an intelligent farmer living
near Carthage, and asked him what
the people thought of him in the
southwest.
"Oh, / don't hear much yet
awhile about politics, governor,

the governor, ''there's something
hurting me down your way, and l
want to know what's the matter.
Let's have it. What are your peo-
pie saying about me ?''
"Well, governor, the fact is that
our people think you are a blank
