Results of Investigation Regarding Aerial
| Micro Organisms.
MlcrO-OrganiSmS are duSt-like parti-
Giles capable of cultivation or reproduce
ton in certain media, and at certain
temperatures, and these are scattered
| everywhere in the air. DR.. Miguel, at
the Montsouris observatory, at Paris,
| has made extensive inquiry into
their distribution in air and water,
while in this country DR.. Percy Frank
lin has also investigated the subject
with commendable persistence. The
result of these inquiries is that in cold
weather, especially when the ground is
covered with snow, the number of or
ganisms in the air is very much re-
duced, and presents a striking contrast
with that found in warm weather
Experiments made on March show
that during dry, cold weather. with a
strong east wind blowing over London
large mum Der Of heterogeneous may
still be present in the air. 1t is par
ticularly noticeable that after heavy
shower, and within q few hours after
ward, the number of mfcro-organism
in the air should be as abundant as
usual. Taking an average of the ex-
periments made on the roof of the sci
ence schools of the South Kensington
museum, the mean number of organ
isms found in liter of air amounted to
thirty-five, while an average of 279 fell
on one square foot in one minute.
Other experiments made near Rel
gate, and in the vicinity of Norwich,
present a marked contrast with those
made in South Kensington. There was
remarkable freedom from micro-or-
ganisms of the air collected on the
heath near Norwich during compare
lively warm weather in April, while the
air in gardens in Norwich and Reigate
was richer in organisms than that of the
open air.
Experiments made in inclosed places,
where there is little or no aerial motion,
shows the number of suspended organ
isms to be very moderate, but as soon as
any disturbance in the air occurs from
draughts or people moving about, the
number rapidly increases and may be-
come very great. Experiments made in
a railway carriage afford striking ex-
ample of the enormous number of micro
organisms which become suspended in
the air when many persons are brought
ogether.-Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle.

CHARGES AGAINST RAUM.
The Pension Commissioner Makes a Yer
Weak Defense.


The charges against General Raum,
the Commissioner of Pensions, are, first,
that he has borrowed $4,000 or some
| arge sum of money from George E.
Lemon, claim agent doing business
be fore his Office or upon his indorse-
ment. General Raum does not admit
nor does he deny this charge, but it is
probably true. He does assert, how
ever, that his private business relations
with Captain Lemon have no influence
whatever upon his official conduct, and
that Lemon has received no advantages
in the Pension Office that are not en-
joyed by other men in his profession.
Second, he is charged with soliciting
or allowing others to solicit subscrip-
tions from the clerks in his department
to the stock of company of which he
is president and one of the chief own
ers. This he denies and says that
if any clerks in the Pension Office
have bought stock in the corporation
referred to-which is refrigerator car
company-it has been done without his
knowledge or approval.
Third, he is charged with having
turned over to his son, John Raum, the
pension claims that were placed in his
hands for prosecution before he became
Com missioner, and with having given
these claims precedence over the cases
pending before the office. This he
denies and says that the business his
son brings to the office takes the same
course as the rest and is given no lesi
and no greater advantages. but all the
grist that comes to the mill is treated
alike =WaShingtOn Letter

THE CHINESE MAIL.
How John Addresses His Letters When
Writing to Friends at Home.

Writing to Friends at Home.
Many persons have asked the ques:
ton: How is the Chinese mail handla
in the post-office?" 1t is a question
which has excited considerable discus
sion at different times and one which
every body should understand. 1t is
generally supposed, however, that a
Chinese interpreter is employed in the
post-office expressly to handle the Chi
nese mail. But that is not the case, the
Government never having found it a
necessity to employ such person.
When q Chinaman wishes to send a
letter to his native country, he must
employ the services of an interpreter.
unless he can write English himself.
He writes, seals and directs the envel-
ope in his own language. He then goes
to Chinese interpreter, who writes the
address in English on another part of
the envelope. The letter is then ready
for the mail.
1t goes through the post-office, and
then takes a journey across the coun-
try to San Francisco. A China-bound
steamer conveys it across the ocean tc
it's destination, where, after going
through the China post-office, it is de-
livered to the person to whom adj
dressed. =: ~
The incoming mails are handled very
much in the same way. An interpreter
in the Chinese post-office writes the adj
dress in English on all mails directed
to this country. When a letter reaches
the pOst-otfice the clerks never pay any
attention to the name, and not one time
in ten thousand do they know whether
a letter is for Chinaman or somebody
else. They look only for the street and
number. The mail is sorted, and then
delivered by the carrier So what
seems very complicated process is in
deed a very simple one, causing no in
convenience whatever. -Golden Days.

SOME OLD STORIES.
Yarns That Were Current in Franc
Nearly Two Centuries Ago.

A"Aho lhdt were current IN france
! Nearly Two Centuries Ago.
Not so long ago there was new rood
made for the loft of certain country
church, and the old rood was stored
away in the loft of the parsonage. The
| parson, feeling desire toward goose,
had a fine one fattened, killed, stuffed
| and spitted, and finally put down to
roast. He was a frugal man, and to
save firewood lugged out the old cruel
fix and put it on the fire as it was, his
conscience forbidding him to break it
up. This done, he went off to church,
leaving his little nephew to roast the
goose-ad est, to turn the spit. In course
of time the crossbeam of the roof was
burned through, and the figure fell
down, face foremost, on the goose. The
little boy fled away in terror, and ran
into the church, calling out: "Uncle.
uncle, that man you put on the fro is
eating our goose y .,
A poor old countryman was lying on
his deathbed, and the priest was tell.
ing him of the life to come, that he
might not sorrow after the life he was
leaving. after the Judgment day."
quoth the good priest, ''every mountain
and hill shall be brought low, and every
valley shall be exalted" ''Well, WELL"
said the countryman, that will be a
famous land for us poor wagoners."
A certain learned doctor had been
preaching in country church, and was
on his way back again. AS he rode
along he fell into theological medita-
ton, tackling several stiff dogmatical
questions, and consequently ne lost his
way. At last he met countryman, of
whom he asked the way to Savonnieres.
But the countryman knew him, and
said: Why, master, you're an honest
man, indeed; / heard you preach in our
church, and never heard better SER
mon il my life. l should like to hear
dozen such sermons" "Well, well, my
good friend, l hope to say a few more
words in season some other time; but
tell me the way to Savonnieres. - NAY,
nay" said the countryman, may God
keep me from such presumptuousness!
to teach man who knows every thing;
you are laughing at me, master. Why,
the little children know the way to Sa-
vonnieres, and are you, who know all
things, ignorant of such little natter
Nay it's not likely, master. God keep
you And so he left him.-Beroalde de

POLITICS IN IOWA.
Republicans Disguised with Their Party
and the Mckinley Bill.

Republicans Disguised with Their Party
and the Mckinley Bill.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette. leading
Republican paper of Iowa, publishes in
teryiews with over one hundred repre-
sentative Republicans of that city with
reference to the protective tariff and
the Mckinley bill. The result is de-
cidedly suggestive. Iowa is State
heretofore considered solid for high pro-
tective tariffs. Yet of the Republicans
interviewed by the Gazette not eight
per cent are in favor of the Mckinley
bill. The Gazette says with reference
to this showing:
Remember, those men are Republic
ans. not Democrats or mugwumps.
They mean business. That few of
them suggest even higher tariff than
the Mckinley bill is no surprise. For
there are good many people who act
ually believe in prohibitory tariff.
But the general showing is powerful
knock at the Mckinley bill.
mo wonder there were five boilers
among the Iowa Congressman on some
features of the Mckinley bill, and we
have most reliable information that if
the Iowa and many other Congressman
were not sure the bill would be traplpled
to death in the Senate, they would
openly bolt the whole business. But
Allison will tack it up. He is naturally
low tariff man, although he got off
badly since the last Presidential nomi-
nation, as the managers of Iowa had
wrongfully led him into the belief that
Iowa was hot for high tariff. But he
has been home among his people since
then and learned thing or two. Mark
these words, Allison will knock the
Mckinley bill higher than a kite, and
come mighty near being nominated for
President in place of Mckinley, who is
fishing for the nomination with his pro-
lection bait
Iowa is certainly not 'hot for high
tariff - by any means. Neither are Min
nesota, North and South Dakota. If a
close canvass were made of even the
Middle States the high tariff contingent
would be found weakening. The change
is becoming more apparent daily. Not
only Senator Allison, but many other
leading Republicans, with clearer WIS.,
ion than Mckinley, read the unmistak-
able signs of the times and are act
ing accordingly.-Minne Journal
