Typhoid Fever Easy to Prevent.

Nothing" says DIR. Edison, of the
New York>health department, in a recent
article, 'is more discreditable to the civ
iliEa'ion of the nineteenih century than
the existence of typhoid fever" It is
discreditable. he maintains, because "of
all diseases 1t is the most easily preventa-
ble." Scientists have isolated it's germ
and taught its characteristics. yet their
teachings as to modes Of prevention are
utterly lost upon the larger portion of the
public. Typhoid fever is rare'y dae to
any other cause than polluted water, milk
or meat. Polluted wa'er is responsible
for most cases OF the disease, and well
water 10 the country, as well as in towns,
cities and villages, is commonly polluted.
at is safe to say according to Dr. Edi-
SIN, atbat there II. mt wen fn tue coan-
try the water of which is safe to drink.
Most OF the cases of typhoid occurring N
the city in the fall are caused by water
drunk from wells during the summer out
ing" The fact that the water Of those
wells is nice and sweet-tasting counts for
nothing. The brighter it looks The great
er the probability that it is "whited
sepulchre." The wells being sunk near
the houses. in the vicinity of cesspoois,
they draw their supply of water from
contaminated earth. The germs Of typhoid
thus enter the wells aud render them res
ervoirs Of poison, however pellucid and
charming their contents may appear to
the thirsty seeker after health. During
the last year." says the Doctor. IL have
visited twenty towns supplied with water
from dug or driven well in every instance
the supply was polluted was the Cause OF
the prevalence OF typhoid fever" The
bacillus typhosus, to which the disease is
due, is contained in the spittle Of typhoid
fever pstieAts. 1t is easily destroyed by
such disinfectants as corrosive sublimaie
and carbolic acid. Ice often disseminates
the disease. Though boiling water is ia
tai to it, cold does not hurt the germ to
which the fever is due. even il a tempera-
ture % degrees below zero is reached
DR.. Fordyce Baker recently demonstrated
that twenty-five cases of typhoid fever
developed at popular watering place
were due to the use of ice taken from
lake near by. The ice had been cut from
point near the entrance of a sewer
Only those who used this ice had the di-
sesse, and when the use of this ice was
discontinued the epidemic ceased. Milk
is sometimes the carrier OF typhoid germs.
In such cases it is contaminated by the
the water with which the milk cans are
washed, or it gets the germs through the
digestive system of The COW. In almost
every case, it seems safe To say. the di-
sease germ is derived Ultimately from
water contaminated by drainage from
cesspools.

One Hundred Years From Now.

What will our population be? Who
shall say? The United States to-day con-
tains over 60, 900, 900 people, who increase
ct the rate of about Is per cent in every
decade, so that at the close of the next
century the increment would have run up
to total of not less than 400, 900, 900 souls.
Take the population of all the other states
and countries as likely to come under our
sway and another 400, 100000 will be east
ly adeed. In the year of our Lord 5000,
and the year of the Independence of the
United States the 224th, it will be no
longer the United States of North America,
but the United States of North, Central
and South America, and the then Presi-
dent will then issue Thanksgiving day
proclamation to nearly thousand million
people. The mind fails to grasp our in
dustrial and commercial expansion at that
day the wonderful progress in the arts
and sciences the tremendous energy with
which enterprise after enterprise will be
conceived and made reality, And then
Congress. Just think what Congress will
be then But, stop! Better not think
When we contemplate what it is now,
with 400 members, the idea of what it will
be with 1000 is simply appalling.

Railway Accidents.

The statements made by Mr.. Coffin rep
resentative of the Brotherhood of Brake
men, before the recent conference of rail-
road commissioners concerning the risks
of brakeman's life is one that deserves
the attention of the public. His figures
are appalling. Under an Iowa law, which
requires the railroads to report to the
State commission the number of accidents
occurring in year, it is shown that in ten
years 2424 brakemem have been killed in
Iowa by the pin-and-link coupler and
hand brake. Each year, as the miles of
railway increase, the number lengthens.
Last years reports shows $40 men killed
and wounded by these two causes alone.
On the 100000 miles of railroads in the
United States, over 5000 men were killed
or manned for life by these two causes last
year. To show the dangers encountered
by the brakeman as compared with the
passengers, it is shown that in the State of
Iowa last year, out of the %, 345, S46 per-
sons who travelled, not one was hurt by the
much berated car-stoves, while at the same
time the $40 brakemen were killed and in
iured by the couplers. If these state
ments do not cause the State, interstate
commissions to take some decided action
in the matter of providing more security
of life for this class of railroad employees
they will deserve deep condemnation.
Railroad men have repeatedly asserted
that no satisfactory substitute for the
link -and-pin coupler has ever been inven-
ted, but when the numberless contri-
vances of the sort that have been patented
are considered, this seems hardly probable.
1t is declared on the other hand that the
blame lies entirely with railroads them
selves in providing cars of unequal heights,
and that the coupler now used would be
safe if the inequality were removed. The
matter should be investigated by the com
missioners, and if the fault is with the
railroad companies they should be made to
remedy it at whatever cost. If more
perfect coupling and braking system is
needed then that system should be devised.

The Conductors Prosperity.

Last week [ shook hands with conduc-
tor on the Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad,
who is president of bank. There is
general impression in the public mind
that conductors all die poor, but here is
Jerry" as everybody calls him, man of
about forty or fifty years of age, perhaps,
with long head of whiskers, and the
pleasant position of President of the Irish
American Bank. AS he thought fully
slams the door from car to car, collecting
fares on children who are no longer young,
and whose parents seek to conceal them
under the seats, or as he goes from passen-
ger to passenger sticking large blue checks
in their new silk hats, and otherwise TAX
ing advantage of people, he is sustained
and soothed by the blessed thought that he
has done the best he could, and that some
day. when the summons come to lay aside
his loud smelling lantern and make his
last run, he will leave his dear ones pro-
vided for. Perhaps | ought to add that
during all these years of Jerry prosperity,
the road has also managed to keep the
wolf from the door, | mention it because
it is SO rare for the conductor and the road
to make money at the same time / knew
a conductor on the Union Pacific railroad,
some years ago, who used to make great
deal of money, but did not invest it wisely.
aud so TO-DAY is not the President of a
bank. He made great deal OF money in
one way or another, while on his run, but
the man with whom he was wont to play
poker in the evening is now the President
of the bank.-BilJ Nye's Letter.

The Problem of Artificial Lighting

journal of Gas Lighting.
In the course of a series of articles set
ting forth the modern view of electricity,
Professor Oliver J. Lodge arrives at the
conclusion that flight is an electrical dis
turbance, and that light waves are excited
by electrical oscillations y which conclus-
ion he believes must ultimately have
practical import. Professor Lodge re-
marks that our present systems OF making
light artl6cially are wasteful and lnettec-
tive. We want, he says, certain range
of oscillation-between 1000 and 1000 bill
lion vibrations per second; no other is
useful to us, because no other has any
effect upon our retina. But we do not
know how to produce vibrations at this
rate. We can cause strings to vibrate one
or two hundred or thousand times per
second, with the result of emitting pure
tone of definite pitch; but to get much
faster rates of vibration. we have to fall
back upon atoms. We can make atoms
vbrate by what we call heating the sub
stance but the vibrations are then infinite
in number and mode and only few OF
them are of use to US. AS we do not yet
know how to separate vibrations that are
useful to US from the great majority, we
are obliged to excite them all together, at
an obviously unnecessary expense. We
take a lump of matter-say, carbon fila,
ment or piece of quick. lime-and by
raising it's temperature, we impress upon
it's atoms higher and higher modes of
vibration not transmitting the lower into
the higher, but supervising the higher
upon the lower, until at length we get
such rates of vibration as our retina is con-
structed for, and we are satisfied. The
process is evidently wasteful and indirect
and empiric. We want a small range of
rapid vibrations land we know no better
than to make the whole series leading up
to them. 1t is, says DR.. Lodge "as though
in order to sound some little shrill octave
or pipes in an organ, we were oblige to
depress every key and every pedal, and to
blow young hurricane" If this remark
applies to the incandescent electric lamp
and to lime light, it also applies with even
greater force to lights of combustion, in
which a great amount of radiation is pro-
duced, but is not wanted the only result
really desired being the minute, almost in
finitesmal fro CT on of the whole effect
which enables US to see. In short, the
production of light waves, without any
others, is held out by Prof Lodge as the
problem of artificial lighting for the future.
