parent and OF golatinous consistcnce. IL en-
tiers the human system by inhalation, or exists
in the water or milk we drink. or tho food we
eat. IL is able to stand the greatest amount Of
heat. BY tho most careful study and frequent
experiments microbog have been indueted by
ivory needles, into meats that have been thor
oughly roasted and broiled, and yet. when ta-
ken from the ovens, pans grid irons or pots, the
microbes nave been found To be set alive and
prOpagating thus showing that even cooking
has no effect upon them.
Prof. Tyndali says Of the Microbe: They are
found in myriads and countless shape, floating
In the air, destroying man we'll as beast and
vegetation. The virtual triumph Of the anti
septic systems of surgery Is based on the receg-
milton of lying contaga or microbes as the
agent Of putrefaction, and this discovery made,

The word mlcr0be was first introduced by Pro-
fcssor Charles SedllOt, and endorsed by the
great philOlogist, Littre, who caused It's adapta-
ton by the Academic des Science Of France and
thus had II admitted as a scientific term to be
used by all scientists.

Scientific Men of the ACC.

Ehonsieur Pasteur, who for years has made them
q special study, first discovered that these mi
mute insects were the cause of spreading the
most deadly contagious through their astonish-
ing rapidity OF reproduction. Pasteur discoy-
cred them In myriads In human blood, In sheep.

was the direct cause Of the Variolosis, OF small
pox-Bronchitis, Yellow Pever, and other con

by yarioloss. is thread.ike, cylindrical and

after making close study Of microbes, dlscov-
cred that the quickest way 20 exterminato them
was by the FREQ inhalation of oxygen gas, or by
liquids charged with that gas hut admits that
the time must come whoa some powerful liquid
win be discovered that will effectrally destroy
the microbe, and that the liquid must contain
such gaseous combinations as will directly de-

MIR. RANDALLs FRIENDS.
They Will Provide for His Family in
Case of his Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, Feb. 4.-The
physical condition of Congressman
Samuel J. Randall has reached such a
stage as to excite the gravest fears for
his future. The well-known antipathy
of Mr.. Randall to accept any gifts from
his numerous friends and admirers,
even contributions to campaign expen-
ses, coupled with the equally we'll
known fact that he derives his only
revenue from his salary, has lately in
duced number of his friends of prac-
tical turn of mind to go to work secret
ly among themselves and raise fund of
sufficient size to make provision from
the interest thereof to provide for the
necessities of Mrs. Randall in the event
of the Congressman's health utterly
failing. This movement originated
through the strong friendship which
has always existed between George w.
Childs and the ex-Speaker. A. J.
Drexel entered into the friendly scheme
with a willingness that is characteristic
of him. A number of other personal
friends gladly joined in the good work
| and it is now understood that the sum
has reached the comfortable proper.
tions of$50, 900. 1t is proposed in the
event of Mr.. Randall's illness taking 6
turn that will compel him to give uE
all work, to invest this fund, and de.
vote the interest to the support of the
ex-Speaker's family. It is conceded
that Mr.. Randall's age is against his
thorough recovery, and the fact is re-
called now that last December. Aftel
the opening of the present Congress, he
was unable to leave his house to visit
the capital long enough to be sworn in
The oath was administered at his resi-
dence. Mr.. Childs was seen this even
ing, and expressed surprise that the
matter had gained any publicity.
SIT is very unfortunate" said he
"that this matter should have become
public. Mr.. Randall is a particularly
sensitive man, and any further pub
licity given to the project would only
annoy him. The fund was not created
for Mr.. Randall, but is intended tc
benefit his family" -......... f..

TREMENDOUS FLOODS IN ORE
GOV.
Worst Ever Known in the State.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 5.-The dam.
age from the snow blockades on Oregon,
California anil Southern Washington
seems about to dwindle into small pro-
portions beside probably much great
er loss by the floods which follow the
snow. The heavy snow filled valleys
as well as railroads, and the milder
weather had begun to make way with
the drifts, when on last Friday an un-
usually heavy rain set in, causing dan
gerously fast melting of the snow The
little streams quickly become torrents,
and the result seems sure to be dis
astrous to all kinds OF property. 1t is
reported that
PORTLAND Is FLOODED
and entirely cut off from the outside
world, but the public reports of Che
| Northern Pacific Railroad officials in
dictate otherwise. The city will very
probably suffer considerably from the
floods, if il is not already partly flooded,
but il is not at all cut off from the out
side world. That the city is not wholly
under water appears from the reports of
the train dispatcher of the Northern
| Pacific Railroad at st. Paul, since the
passenger train due at Portland to-day
on that line arrived but four hours and
twenty-five minutes late, although the
distance from st. Paul to Portland is a
trifle over 1000 miles and this train is a
through one. The train due at Port
land tomorrow afternoon is also re-
ported by the same official as on time,
although it Is now west of the idaho
boundary, where some slight trouble
was experienced during the snow block
ade that existed on the Central and
Union Pacific lines in the same lati-
ude.
From another source information has
been received to the effect that the
Southern Pacific's California line is still
blockaded and
SUFFERING SEVERELY FROM WASHOUTS
along the streams. which are rising rap
idly from recent rains and melting
SHOWS. The latest information from
Portland develops the fact that the Un-
ion Pacific line is again closed, this
time owing to the heavy rains, melting
snow and snowslides along The Column
bia River between the Dalles and Port
land, where the road suffered so severe
ly two years ago from the same cause.
The situation at Portland is undoubt-
edly due to the rapidly rise of the Wilt
annette River. 1t flows into the Column
bia just above Portland. For nearly q
month past the hills and mountains of
Oregon through which this river flows
have been piled with continually fall
ing snow. The drifts in some places
were fifteen and twenty feet high.
During the past few days, however, the
warm winds have melted this snow and
the Willamette River has become a
torrent.
On the Northern Pacific between
Noxon and Trout Greek there have
been several avalanches since last
Saturday, and the telegraph lines there
are also interrupted.
