Photographs Taken of the Death

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 22.-Prof. II. J. Det-
mer Of the Ohio state university has con-
cluded the task of photographing the germs
causing yellow fever that had been sent
him by DR.. James E. Reeves Of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn. The professor says this Is the
drst time that yellow fever germs have
been found in the tissues, scient-
lists heretofore searching for tlen
in vain. They have been found
IN zoogloea masses In the capillary blood
vessels, which appear distended and rupt-
ured, and at these ruptures the zoogloea are
dense and large.
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
The bacilli present themselves in four
forms: First, in plain dark round mass
second, in an oval, with a dark point at
each extremity; third, in an oblong disk
with dark points as in the second, and
fourth, dark points united by film, and
strikingly resembling a dumb bell.
Being asked as to how the discovery re-
garding the cause Of yellow fever came to
be made, he said: DR.. Srernberg, of John
Hoyki university, for number of years
has made an exhaustive arch for yellow
fever germs, but without success, in the
tissues. During tue last epidemic
he made several post mortom
examinations at Decatur, Ala The liver

THE GUNEOAT YORKTOWN.

Description of the New Dynamite Cruiser
to be Launched in Few Days-A Terri
BILE Engine of War.
PHILADELPHIA, April lS.-The William
Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine Building
Company have nearly completed dynamite
cruiser gunboat called the Yorktown, de-
signed for the United States navy 1t will
be launched on Saturday, April %, in the
presence of Secretary Whitney. 1t carries
four pneumatic guns for the hurting of
dynamite projectiles, each with range of
at least mile. The training of the guns is
accomplished by steering the vessel and the
loading is all done by steam. The guns are
of tifteen-inch caliber, and the shells, which
can be fired with great accuracy twice u
minute, will contain 600 pounds of explosive
gaatine equivalent to S52 pounds of dyna-
mite or 943 pounds of gun cotton.
1t is claimed that this gun, properly ham
died, will be the most destructive engine Of
war yet invented. for the heaviest armored
shipsi n the world win so all to pieces from
the explosion of shell much smaller than
those thrown by the guns on the Yorktown.
These guns are designed primarialy to work
on the under water portion of the hulls of
vessels, but if any inacuracy in aim should
be developed on account of the pitching of
the ship great damage can he inflicted upon
the portion of the hull above water. A
dynamite gun made by the same concern
has just been made for the Italians, and will
be tested at Fort Lafayette in few days
by Lieutenant ZalinSki.

NEW YouK, April 1s.--Dr. Fordyce Bar
ker seemed quite overcome as he stood on
tho steps OF No. West Twenty-foufth
street yesterday afternoon and told the
reporters of the impending dissolution Of
Roscoe Conkling. His eyes were suffused
with tears and his voice was husky with
emotitn. He made no effort to conceal the
fact that the death of the ex-senator was
expected at any moment. A feeling of sad
ness seemed to have spread among the
guests of the Hoffman House, and there
was an oppressive quctness and solemnity
among the crowds In the corridors. Voices
were hushcd, and all were talking In low
tones Of the last sad news about the cy-Sen-
etor. The friends who came late to tho
house went away with sorrowful expires
sions, but said very little. The hopes that
the doctors had had Of Mr.. Conkling's re-
covery were based upon the splendid phys
ique of the patient; and that was, perhaps,
the very cause of his last sickness, which
dates from tho day Of the great blizzard,
March II, when Mr.. Conkling walked to his
home in West Twenty-fourth street from
his Office at No. Wall street.

A PREACHERS STORIES.
How an Enslish Clergyman Secured
COyeted Marble Font.

How an EnGlish Clergyman Secured Q
Coveted Marble Font.
Several years ago coveted marble
font in city church which was about
to be pulled down, and asked the rector
to give or sell it to me. He said it was
really not his, but that must consult
another rector from whose church it
had been brought and who still claimed
it. Applying to him, I was told that
as it had been moved out of his church
/ was welcome to it as far as he was
concerned. but that tho matter rested
with the Bishop of London. wrote to
the Bishop and got as answer that he
would much like me to have it (for use
in my church), but that the final de-
cision lay in the hands of the Ecclesi-
astical Commissioners. This looked
hopeless. The worm will turn. So sent
four men with truck to the church
where the coveted font stood, and bade
them. without any attempt at conceal
ment, carry it bodily away, giving the
beadle five shillings. might have had
it for half crown. Presently the laden
truck appeared ut my church, in which
we fixed the font, and never heard a
word about the transaction.
Sometimes, however, it is possible to
approach still more dangerously near
to the infracton of law. One after
noon / arrived at the Liverpool street
station and straightway walked toward
a hanson. which porter had called
for me, having myself picked out my
small hand poitmantcau from heap
of luggage. had not got many yards
before an attempt was made by some
one in the crowd TO snatch it out of my
hands. l dragged it roughly from the
intending thief, who suddenly disap-
peared. When reached the cab there
was smiling porter touching his cap
and pointing to my own luggage, which
he Cknowing me and mine by sighD
had placed in tho hanson. The port
manieau which had rescued from the
thief belonged TO him; and his sudden
disappearance (Which l attributed to IA
desire for cscape) meant that he had
gone to fetch constable l drove

LEARNING TO TALK.
Tho Process of Language Development in
Baby.

=
= Baby.
Exceedingly interestingis is the process
of language development in a babe.
No study in anthropology is more fer
tile. The babes first cries are purely
instructive and therefore purely animal.
Its complaints are in and by pure labi-
ais and liquids-used with the open
vowels. 1t does not use the genial
tubercle; nor for many weeks the frontal
brain. Its second list of sounds move
farther back. and are g. goo, gutturals
of the simplest sort. This g sound. with
its natural associate J, becomes the
well-known basis of all primitive lam
languages-the clicking or clicking Of
Amos and Hottentots. Next observe
the babe as it watches your mouth and
laughs at your cooling and your baby.
talk. It finally sets its own articulating
organs in motion and initiates you.
The consequence soon is simple use Of
the frontal brain and the genial tuber-
Gle. The goo-goo is followed by eh-eb
and che-che, and soon after by modu
lation. These are not only tho first use
of the human organs, but the first cere-
brated sounds, as distinct from instinct
i've and inherited utterances. The steps
toward highly complex cerebrated
language are thereafter rapidly taken.
We have to bear in mind that the
babe organically follows historic evolu-
tion. and is an epitome of past pro-
gross. So also in his speech he moves
on and on over the pathway of the
past, and reviews it all. An intelligent
child expresses appreciation and disap.
probation by the same sounds that are
used by adult monkeys. The savage
hardly uses cerebrated sounds at all.
The refinement Of languages has ever
consisted in eliminating the animal in.
heritance, The child's use Of gestures Ia
also inherited. He does not need to learn
to use his hands; only to secure mus.
cular strength to direct them. His play
at first is surely animal frolic, rejoicing
in shouts and shrieks that later he does
not find necessary to his enjoyment
His laughing and crying can only be
understood rs language. as they are
surely also in adults. The evolution Of
laughter would be delightful branch
of our topic, but theme too much by
itself. II is enough to note In passing
that not only do animals laugh, but
they smile. Laughter Is even not un-
common among fowls. have owned
