Under the title the "Contaglousness Of
Murder" NJ .Aubry has published an
elaborate thesis, In which, among other
things, he argues that the relation Of n
crime, reproduced with minute details by
the press, frequently leads to a series of
crime, the means of execution OF which
are copied from the same crime type." I"
He believes these cases to be cases Of
veritahle initiative contagion.
OF course the plea of insanity cuts its
usual exaggerated figure in this disquisi-
ton. But the four principal elements
necessary to constitute an epidemic Of
murder are given as suggestion, imita-,
ton, heredity and contagiousness Moreau
de Tours proposes the following preventive
measures: |. A healthy moral individual
hygiene. 9. The moralization of habits.
3. A restriction of the publication Of
crimes. 4. a more logical severity in the
judgment Of criminals News.

Exciting Causes of Malaria,

The circumstances under which malaria
prevails as local disease though suffi-
GENTLY marked are yet in some degree
complicated and perplexing, 1t is certain
that the exciting cause of the disease is
something present In invisible effiuvia
from the surface of the earth. 1t seems
almost as certain that decomposing or
decomposed vegetable matter is the source
of the infection; yet the appearance Of
malaria in such place as the rock of
Gibralter, which is characterized by an en-
tire absence of vegetation, presents an ap-
parent exception which prevents us from
definitely deciding shat vegetable matter
alone can produce the malarial infection.
Moisture is necessary to produce the
poison; yet moisture alone, or ever with
the necessary degree of heat, is not sutli-
cient; on the contrary 1t appears that if
only the soil whence malarial effiuvia have
arisen could be kept permanently soaked
with moisture there would be no in
fection.
The soil must first be for a while sod.
den with moisture, then dried, before the
invisible etiiuva-the marsh miasma-
become dangerous. The heat necessary
to produce the poison mSst be somewhat
than 50 degs.; between these limits, but
not outside them, heat does its poison
generating work. We have in these con-
ditions alone certain power of iniluenc-
ing malaria, as has been shown by re-
peated examples. Richard A. Proctor in
Inter Ocean.

In the next war, we may expect to see
dogs take prominent part, The French
are training pack of large and fierce
mastffs TO attack dummies clothed In
Prussian uniform. The idea, if successful,
will doubtless draw attention to the use of
other animals for such purposes. America
now feeds, clothes and arms foreign ma
tons when they wish to fight, and lends
them money when they get hard up, and
doutless we can also supply them with
all kinds of animals for war purposes
Perhaps the American skunk might
prove even more efficacious in battle than
the dog, At all events it would be inter-
estlng to watch what tho Prussan army
would do when attacked by pack OF
trained American skunks. s.-Philadelphia
