TO KILL THE GERMS.

Articles of clothing, bedding, etc, may
carry the germs Of smallpox, scarlatiua,
diphthcria, the itch, " yellow fever or the
oriental plague. When any such infection
is suspected, the only way TO secure safety
Is TO heat the articles which may carry the
disease for at least an hour in an atmos-
phere charged with superheated steam.
All packages must be opened, so that she
heat Can penetrate to every particle with
out hiudeTance- The most intense cold
that has been produced by scitLca does
not destroy the germs Of disease. In the
case of the United States ship Plymouth,
Il few years ago the most intense cold of
4 Boston winter proved incapable of dis
injecting the vessel from the germs of yell
low fever which had before that time been
supposed to he destroyed by Il slight frost.
Heat and moisture combined seem TO be
the best disinfectants To employ against
disease germs of any kind on q large
scale.
Burning sulphur gives off suffocatng
fumes which have characteristic odor,
and have long been known to possess dis
injecting properties The vupors produced
in this way are composed of sulphur COM
bined with oxygen, the sulphur dioXide Of
the chemists. They have Il powerful af
finity for water, with which they unite to
form sulphurouS acid, which forms com
pounds on its own account, termed sui
phites The sulphites are dsinfectants,
killing microbes and arresting, in this
way, all forms of fermentation. Sulphur
fumes probably act in this round about
way, although with great rapidity, when
they are used to destroy disease germs.
''FunigatiOn''-the subsection of arti-
cfes to these fumes-is n very cheap and
fairly effective method of 1iSiufpctiOu H.
must be remembered that all the higher
animals are injured or destroyed, as well
as the microbes of all kinds, when made
to breathe these fumes unless largely
diluted with air Even III small amounts
they cause irritation and inflammation cf
the air passages. Sulphur attacks ircn
with great energy, aud when 1t IS burned
for disinfcctin.c purposes this must be re
mcmbcrCd. Cloths. rolled on sticks TO
form taFcrs, dipped i'll melted sulphur
and ignited, after being placed upright i'll
earth i'll large iron or earthen dish, is a
good way to develop the suTocaiing gas.
The room to be cleansed should be closed
carefully, and after the fumes have been
allowed to fill it for an hour or two the
doors should be opened from the outside
and free ventilation insured before it is
entered. Articles of bedding or clothing
may be hung up in the room and subjected
to the action of the disinfectant. Vege-
table colors are bleached by the action of
the gas, provided the articles to be sub
jected TO this process are first moistened.
Chlorine has the same effect, but delicate
fabrics are better bleached by means of
sulphur fumes, as the acid developed by
the former is much more corrosive than
that from sulphur.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
