The Doubtful Microbe.

DR.. G. n. berg. a major in
the United States Army. reports to the
American Association of physicians
and surgeons some results of his ex.
tended and careful Investigations in
the military hospital at Havana. which
go far towards proving that no yellow
fever micrObe has yet been found, and
appear TO suggest extreme DOUBT
whether any such microbe will be
found.
DIR. Strenberg had unlimited oppor.
tunity at Havana TO obtain subje cts
for autopsy. and to make the most
careful research into the condition OF
the blood and the various organs of
Victims of yellow fever. In no case
could he find IN the blood the microbe
which DR.. Freire thought he found
in blood taken from the fingers of
yellow fever patients and employed
by him for alleged "protective" inoc-
ulation. but he did find 1t on the skin
of some cases. with of course no con.
nection with the internal fever sym.
ptoms. though possibly a poison if put
into the blood by DIR. Freire's delusve
''inoculation.
The experiments of DR.. Sternberg
go further than this. Unless his re.
suits eau be set aside they prove that
there is no spec fic germ IN the blood OF
yellow fever patients and leave an open
field for the view that it is not germ
which causes the disease. that vola-
tile poison In the air of infected dis
tricts; a poison which every one where
IL is in the air takes In with the breath,
which does no fatal harm in measure
not greater that the system can throw
off, and the dangerous results oil
which are cumulative. and are moi
sudden upon moment OF exposure.
The harmless measure OF the poison
Is found wherever bad air exists. and
it carries with it degree of peril in all
yellow fever regions. But until its
worst form is found as a concentration
in bad yellow fever cases. il does not
imply the oontagion commonly assum.
ed. unless at least special circum
stances cause the action OF the system
to give wav to the poison. IL there
were no fully prepared victims. and
no alarm or bad living to make othel
prepared victims and IL people would
get out of specially bad air whenever
an out break occurs, and live as care
fully as possible. 1t Is almost certain
that the disease would make no grea
progress. -Ez.

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.
The Sensation That Comes Over Man In
His First Engagement.

The Sensation That Comes Over Man In
His First Engagement.
"IIow does man feel in battlep" is
question | have often been asked; or,
'Do you feel frightened the first timeP"
My answer is, "Yes; and every other
time, too. / never had a shell whistle
and screech near me, but l wished l
hadn't come"
I've been porsistently urged to tell
something about the sensation that
comes oves man in a battle, by young
mon and old ladies.
The morning OF the first day got
under fire was so much excited by the
booming of the battery near me that l
didn't hear any thing else, and, of
course, didn't quite realize my danger.
A battery pounding shot toward the
enemy is the most inspiring music one
hears in a battle. OF course you can't
tell whether the shots hit anybody or
not, but you instinctively feel from the
big noise and fussy kick the thing
makes every time it goes off, some
thing must get hurt Though, MS n
rule, it is not the shells that hurt; they
go over the men and land back in the
rear, where they scare the mules about
tho -wagon-trains and stampede the
skulkers. 1t is the nasty little guns
that do the damage, as one soon finds
out. felt, from the way this battery
had been pounding into the woods
mile or so away, that they had killed
every body over there, so boldly ad-
vanced on my horse to the front Of
skirmish-line. On my way out l saw
ing or supporting third between them;
getting closer, l discovered that the
man they were carrying had his leg off;
indeed, it seemed as il his whole lower
body had been torn off at the hip, leav-
ing his bleeding flesh hanging in shreds
to his light-blue pantaloons.
l naturally stopped when they got
nearer, when discovered to my horror
that the poor mans bowels were actu-
ally trailing on the ground. He was
yet alive; his eyes were fixed upon me
in n sorrowful, longing way that shall
never, never get out of my mind.
While paralyzed by this sight, was
so sick that l almost fell off my horse,
by seeing one of the men accidentally
tread on his bowels, which served to
draw more of his entrails from his torn
and bleeding body. The poor fellow
was then past all pain. hurried for
ward to get away from the horrible
sight, only to come on boy in blue,
who was lying fiat on his face, as if he
had been literally biting the dust,
all curled up-dead. National

How an Old Soldier Sees an Incident of Il

How an Old Soldier Sees an Incident of tho
Battle of Gettysburg.
On Saturday last an old man with sill
yer hair was led into the Cyclorama of
Gettysburg by bright-faced little miss
in a jaunty gypsy hat and dress and sat
down while she described to him the
features of the picture in detail, occa-
sionally asking her a question or shak-
ing his head slowly as il in doubt Of the
accuracy of her account. She had de-
scribed to him in her own way the on
rush of Pickett's men and the hand-to-
hand conflict at the stone fence where
the Pennsylvania veterans met the
charge of the Southerners, when he
asked: "But where's the artillery,
MagP"
"Oh, you mean the big guns. They're
over here on the hill in row."
"All in a rowP" he askedP
"Yes," she replied.
He shook his head. Look around"
said he. "There must be some more
that are not in line"
Yes she said, "there are some
down here that are all upset and seem
to be broken. think they are bursted."
.Is that where the men are coming
over the stone wallP"
"Yes, grandpa"
sis there grove OF treesP"
"Yes, grandpa. 1t seems to be full of
men, but the smoke is so thick you can
not see them"
"Oh, can see them," he cried.
1t was then noticed by several people
who were listening to him that he was
blind. The little girl said: "Oh, no,
grandpa; you can't see them"
"Yes 1 can," he answered. 81 can
see them very we'll, and the broken
cannon, too"
The child looked at him with inno-
cent surprise as she said: "You are
joking now."
mo, my DEAR" replied the old man.
"No. That was the last time / ever
saw on earth. There was caisson ex-
ploded there just this side of that fence,
and that was the last terrible picture /
ever saw, for it was then lost my eye

OF it out of my head. IN Y. Times.

SUNSET IN OREGON.
A beautiful Sight Perpotuntod by the Pon
OF q Poetic Reporter.


"What beautiful sunseti" was the
exclamation that rose to many hun
dred lips last evening. ut was indeed n
sunset that the pencil OF tho artist or
the pen OF tho poet could alone per-
petunte.
Above the mighty river that flowed in
silent majesty to the sea there hung
long lines Of clouds in most fantastic
form. Lofty minarets and tapering
spires, ripping seas and mountain
peaks, graded slopes and trim terraces
were all represented in the cloud con-
tinents that hung in the blue aerial
ocean above whore the sun was sinking
in splendor. Molten gold and glowing
scarlet and deepest crimson threw
their reflected color on the town below
and lit up the eastern sky with bor-
rowed glory, and as though shifted by
celestial hands the scenery changed,
each moment more beautiful, till tho
blaze of vivid color faded into the gray
of twilight and the blue and silver Of
the night; while on tho hillside was
the rustling murmur of the breeze
among the frs, mingled with the
sounds of tho sea, rs though Nature
were running her hand over the key
board of creation, striking here and
there cord, before commencing the
majestic symphony of the night, when
the great arches OF light shall have
been lifted into upper ether, and half
of our swinging little planet lies
wrapped in shadow.
And then as If answering "Here" to
their names on Gods eternal roll-call
the stars stepped out into the blue
vault above and stood in glittering
consultations, their eyes twinkling as
though in tears over the poor mortals
below who were getting out news
paper for fifteen cents week and
catching salmon for ninety cents apiece
and doing lots of other things that
those starry sentinels nightly see.-
