Survival of Dangerous Germs.

It has been shown by NJ Esmarch that
disease microbes do not long survive in
corpses, and that, as a general rule, the
more rapidly decomposition takes place the
more quickly will the organisms perish.
Experiments were made with nine differ
ent kinds of microbes contained in the
bodies of animals under the various condi-
tons of burial in the ground, keeping I'M
der water and exposure to air. The bacil-
lus of fowl cholera was seldom found after
three weeks, though that of septicamia
survived ninety days, while that of con-
sumption did not lose its virulence until
from 20i to 255 days had passed. All trace
of the other organisms, including those of
typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera, tetanus and
anthrax, disappeared in from three days to
a week.-New York Telegram.

Fewer Fiction Readers,

Librarian Foster, in his twelfth annual
report of the condition of the Providence
public library, points out that the proper
ton of its circulation of fiction has been re-
duced to fifty-six one-hundredths of all the
books that go out, This is believed to be a
remarkably low figure, but in our own pub
lie library the same point has been noted
The circulation of fiction is not relatively
increasing. The librarians and their assist
ants are partly responsible for this, and II
is in part due to the influence of the daily
press, which the pupils in our public schools
are now interested in, and which, when
they reach ripper years, will lead them to
other'kinds of literature besides the all alb.

A Reviewer sauelched.

''In novel by my friend Payn," says
William Black, Il came upon a striking
passage, in which the heroine was described
as being buffeted about by q terrible gale,
insomuch that her raven black hair
streamed out to windward. With the light
heart of an amateur reviewer, wrote to
Mr. Payn and drew his attention to the
fact that, as a general rule, anything blown
by a gale would stream out, not to wind
ward, but to leeward. But the answer
came sharp and prompt. The description
was perfectly correct; the heroine (said the
author of her being) had been taking a
great deal of iron tonic, her hair had be-
come electrically charged, and had foated
out toward the north, irrespective of the
wind currents of the storm. So Iobiect no
more,

Getting Square with a Criminal Lawve,


Mr. Williams, the great English crimi
nal lawyer, had his collie stolen and had
to pay for the dogs RETURN He said, wher
talking of the dog thieves: 81 ventured to
remark to my two acquaintance that they
must be doing a thriving business, e2(
being large sum to receive for the resto
ration of one dog. The answer received
was that it was only two quid apiece, as
there are ten of us in 1T, and it is share and
share alike I then somewhat modestly
remarked that, knowing who 1 was,
thought it rather too bad of them to steal
my dog. All! that's the best of it, said
one of them. Lord, sir, you should have
seen how my pal Bill here did laugh.
Amt it rather hard, says I, ito take the
councillors dawg' Not bit, JIM says
he; he's had good lot out of us, and why
shouldn't we get a little out of himS''-

The Elephant and the Sentinel.

A sentinel belonging to a menagerie at
Paris was always very careful in request
ing the spectators not to give the elephants
anything to eat. This conduct very much
displeased the female, who had several
times endeavored to hinder him from so
doing by sprinkling his head with water
from her trunk. One day, when several
persons were collected to view these ami
mails, a bystander offered the female bit
of bread. The sentinel perceived it, but
the moment he opened his mouth to give
his usual admonition, she, placing herself
Immediately before him, discharged in his
face violent stream of water.
A general laugh ensued; but the senti-
mel, having calmly wiped his face, stood a
little to one side and continued as watch
full as before. Soon afterward he found
himself under the necessity of repeating
his admonition to the spectators, but no
sooner was this uttered than the female
laid hold of his musket, twirled it round
with her trunk, trod it under her feet and
did not restore it till she had twisted it
nearly into the form of corkscrew.-New
York Mail and Express.

Portra ait of Pioneer Editor.
A Valuable Addition to the Historical Soci-
ety's Growing Collection.


The Sta tie Historical society is in receipt
of an exec lent India ink portrait, life-size,
of Col. Michael Frank, of Kenosha: one of
the oldest living pioneers in Wisconsin.
Col. Frank was born in Virgil, N. Y, and
moved to Wisconsin in 1889, settling at
Kenosha Chen Southport). In 1910 he
became associated with @. L. Sholes in the
publication of the Southport Telegraph.
There we re at that time but few newspa-
pers in Wisconsin. The Telegraph, under
the editorial management of Frank and
Sholes, became largely influential in terri
torial politics. In 1843 Col. Frank was
elected member of the territorial council,
holding tn e office for two years and being
largely instrumental in the measures look
ing to the formation of the State. In 1910
he was president of the village of South
port In 1850 when Southport became the
city of Kenosha, he was chosen its first
Mayor. On the adoption of the State con-
stitution in 1848, he was elected one of the
commissioners to revise the laws. In 1860
he was ele cted member of the assembly,
serving as chairman of the committee on
railroads; later, the same year, he became
member of the board of state university re-
gents. In 1861 President Lincoln appoint
ed him p stmaster at Kenosha, position
he held for six years, until President John
son remov ed him as can offensive partisan"
Col. Frank was prominently identified with
the early territorial and State militia. He
is still dol ng yeoman service for his party,
notwithsta nding his advanced age, as editor
of the Kenosha TELEGRAPH-CoU
The portrait represents him as hale old
gentleman of the ancient school, with flow
ing white locks and keen, expressive eyes.

THE MOTHER OF TIE GODS.
An Original Account OF the Life and
PediEree of Rhea.

An Original Account nT the Life aud
PediEree of Rhea.
Rhea Is to be at Albaugh's this week
10 play Josephine, the Empress Of the
French" Perhaps everybody doesn't
know exactly VINO Rhea Is. Here Is
an original account OF her career
given by that learned mythologian,
Mr.. David Lewsley
She has been known at various times
and places 10y various names Among
her aliases are Rhea, ops, CybelG,
Magma Mater lthe great mother), Bere.
cynthia and Dindymene. The multi.
pllcity Of her names, however, Is due
only 10 the capTiees Of her friends and
has nothing 10 do with the records Of
the Police Department.
RLea Is a goddess. and away up even
among the gOddesses. Her papa was
CUlus and Terra was her mother She
married old Saturn and became the
mother Of the gods. She Is usually rep
resented with a Gro Wn of turrets on her
head, Ia a chariot drawn by tame lions.
! don't know that she ever had any
castles In Spain, or even, Ike Patti, In
Wales, but the real estate records Of
Rome show that al one time she ran an
establishment there called the temple
of Opertum. IL must have been a
queer sort Of place, because Il Is said
that no males were ever admitted there.
Whatever else may be said about
her. she came of very respectable
parentage. just look at the pedi-
gree-the daughter OF Heaven and
Earth, the wife Of old man Saturn, the
mother Of Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto,
Juno and several more of those blue
blooded aTistocTats of good old mythO-
logical times. Aud let II be said to
the eternal credit of Rhea that when
her hard hearted husband, old man
Saturn, wanted to kill their children
for meTcenaTy reasons, she played a
film fam game on the old man and
saved the boys She ought 10 attract
full gallery this week. The gods
should certainly pay the tribute to the
mother of the gods.

A CLEVER SCOUNDREL.
A MASSACHUSETTS BROKER PUTS OUT
100000 OF BAD PAPER.
His Criminal potncs Extend over
some Months uow He Forged the
Names OF HIs victims
BEFORE Fleeing.

HHocRroS. Mass Oct 2L-The
checkered career Of C. W Robinson,
the stock broker of this city who has
forged notes amounting 10 upwards Of
SlC0 600, is being reviewed to-day by
nearly every business man who had
transactions with him. II is known
that Robinson went to Boston Friday
afternoon, since which time his doings
and whereabouts are unknown
Another fact came to light to-day
which shows that he has pursued a
criminal course for some months, II not
for years. In conversation with Mr.. S.
=. Howard, his partner, Robinson adj.
mitted that within six months he had
placed nearly $40, 600 forged paper and
had taken care Of e, and II his partner
would only keep quiet for a few days
he would provide for the forged paper
now out Considerable fault is found
with the parties who held this forged
paper FOR not making It known to his
partners that they might be on the
lookout for more such transactions, but
these parties state that they considered
Mr. Robinson an upright citizen. and
that they did not wish to blight the
mans character for one misdecd.
Messrs. Howard & Goldthwaite admit
that notes held by the Home National
Bank, amounting TO nearly $50 600,
bear their Endorsements, and will be
met, yet the names of the makers of
these said notes are forged. II is stated
that the Brockton National Bank holds
about $4,000, with Howard q Goldth.
waite's signatures, which are forgeries.
Mr.. GOldthwaite admits losing about
$50, 600 by these transactions and Mr..
Howard has lost fully as large an
amount Several who have been quite
intimate with the abscOnder think that
the losses will amount to more than
$4,000.
Mr.. Robinson, as the clerk Of the
Police Court Of this city, has not rem
dered an account for several months.
1t is thought that several crooked trans.
actions will be unearthed. Mayor Doug.
lass held a consultation with Robinson
with regard 20 this matter about ten
days aro, and the latter agreed TO fur.
nish a statement last Saturday, but no
account has vet been filed.
Among Roblnson's papers was found
a carefully drawn sheet, showing some
notes that are believed 10 be out, but
where they are placed is a mystery, as
opposite each entry are characters that
can only be read by him. These notes
amount to several thousand dollars,
and some are thought 10 be held In
Taunton and Arlington. II expected
that a more definite statement will be
made public today, as certain plrtie'
are expected here who will throw some
light upon the deeds that Robinson has
committed
