The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1889-08-28

Dr. G. II. Sternberg. who was COM
missioncd by the College of Physicians
OF Philadelphia 10 investigate the
methods of protective incubation as
practical in Brazil (by DR. Domin-
gos Frcire) and in Mexico (by DR..
Cargona Valle). reported that facts
concerning the endemic and epidemic
prevalence of the fever justify the belief
that its cause is amicro-organism. which
can, under suitable conditions. be propa-
capable of transport to a distance; also
that. IA a single attack of yellow fever,
however mild. mostly protects from
future attacks. there il reason To- hope
that such protection might be gained by
incubation.
The yellow fever germ probably gains
entrance into the body by the rcspir-
atory or alimentary tracts. or through
the surface of the body, or it is possible
that it multiplies in insanitary localities
and develops volatile poison which
contaminates the air. The former hypo-
thesis. that il enters the body and null
tiplies within il. is. he thinks. the more
probable Hitherto the germ has not
been found in .he blood and tissues of
those attacked. for DR. Sternberg does
not confirm the alleged discovery made
by DR. Domingos Frcire. Nor is there,
in DIR. Sternberg's opinion. any satisfac-
tory evidence that the method of inocu-
lation practiced by DIR. Domingos Freire
has any prophy Tactic value, and the
same applies to the claims put forward
by DIR. Carmons Vale. of Mexico

Ruby Mines. Burn y.

One of the finest sanitariums in India
is that of Bernard-Myo, on the broad
rolling plains of Enjoul. on the north
ern slopes of the hills bounding the ruby
mining district of Mogok, Burma. Ber-
nard-Myo is over 5000 feet above sea
level. The ruby mining district may
have population of over 5000 people
belonging to many different tribes The
mines are Of three kinds-the working
Of assure veins, washing in a somewhat
similar manner to the hydraulic mining
in California, and what may be called
placer diggings The third class of
mines is at present the most important.
At depths varying from ten to thirty
feet in the flatter lands of the valleys,
there occurs a layer of corundum from a
few inches TO few feet in thickness.
When this corundum is brought to the
surface myriads of small rubies glitter
in the sun. Almost all the stones are
water worn or Of irregular shapes, and
it is rarely that flawless ruby is found.
So rare is a ruby of the finest water,
that one of three carats is worth ten
times the value of diamond the same
size. The district of Mogok is situated
between Mandalay and Bhamo, and is
nearer To the former place.

Damping Grain.

One of the largest millers in the United
States, G.. A. Pillsbury, is credited
with asserting that American millers do
not dampen their wheat before grinding
it. This il correct of some millers, but
not OF all. and the reason is not attri-
butable to differences in millers. but to
differences in wheat. Most of the Cali
fornia wheat ground in this state is
moistened, because it is found necessary
to do so. On the other hand. Oregon
wheat will not stand dampening, AS it
contains enough water without this
treatment
On this account local millers prefer
California wheat, as they can add the
necessary water for nothing, which they
have to pay for in the Oregon article.
When shipped abroad or stored for
months at tidewater. there is less differ
ence, as wheat which is not moist will
become so when in damp atmosphere.
California wheat when afioat gains 2 to
3 per cent from absorption of moisture.
A certain percentage of water in wheat
is essential to render it fit for grinding,
and the moisture has to be either found
in the grain or applied artificially thereto.

Pope Leo's AbstemiOus Life.

Like Napoleon, Leo XIII does great
deal of work and takes very little sleep.
He rises at > in summer and in winter.
His toilet occupies half hour, after
which he passes an hour in prayer and
meditation "a a preparation for mass,
which he says every day in one of the
private chapcls of the Vatican. lie
officiates at the altar with exemplary de-
votion, and there is an exceeding grace
in all his movements. whether in the
sanctuary, in his garden. in his library
or when holding public audience. At
3 o'clock the pope takes his cafe au lait
and roll. Leo XIII is one of the most
abstemious Of men, and the entire ex-
penses of his table do not average more
than 81 a day the whole year round. 1t
must be remembered chat the pope al
ways takes his meals alone. -Pittsburg

IeprOsX Is Contagious.

That leprosy really is a contagious dis
ease seems to he pretty well proved by
the documents which the Rev. III. y.
Wright communicates to The Times. A
Hawaiian convict who was condemned
to death had his life spared on condition
that he should be inoculated with leprosy
by way Of experiment. The incubation
took place three years ago. and the I'M
fortunate man, who would surely have
done better TO 60 to the scaffold, is now
tubercular leper. The experiment was
perhaps hardly necessary. The fact that
Father Damien has become leper since
he went to reside in settlement of
lepers is surely proof enough that the dis
ease is contagious. Now. however, there
Is no longer room for any doubt which
may have been felt upon the matter at
one time.-Pall Mall Gazette
