The Fever Microbe.

An illustration of a strange fact is found
in the experience with the Jamestown,
now the training ship at Baltimore. On
one Of her trips yellow fever appeared on
board and several deaths followed Subse-
quently the vessel was thoroughly reno
waited and extensively repaired. Her wood
work was steamed. Then she remained in
northern harbors for several winters. She
was finally ordered south again, and be-
fore she reached the fever district a case
was developed and the patient died Above
his hammock was found a quantity of
filth. The woodwork was torn out and
the filth removed. But she is still fever
ship. Then, again, 10 the case of the
Portsmouth. She once had fever on
board. Long afterward she was ordered
to Norfolk for repairs. Naval Constructor
Hiehborn had charge of the work. A num-
Der of his workmen died, and he himself
was taken down with typhoid fever and
his life was despaired of. 1t is true, that
once a fever ship always a fever ship.-Ex-

A Real Missionary.

Across the street from Elsie's home lives
a family with whom her father and mother
do not care to associate, nor do they wish
their little girl to play with the small boy
over there.
One morning Elsie CHANGED to overhear
her parents lamenting the goddess state of
this family and her little soul was filled
with pity and dismay. Running out to
the front gate, the little missionary called
out, with sweet entreaty, to the benighted
little neighbor across the way: ooh, poor
little boy, come over to our house and so
to heaven with us!''-New York Tribune.
Trees and Climate.
The effect of trees on climate has formed
the subject of an article in Petermann's by
an able Russian observer, NJ Wocikoff.
He maintains that the diminution of evap-
Grafton effected by forests is not due to the
lower temperature known to exist under
their shadow, but that the most important
factor is the resistance to the winds BY the
trees. Thls causes the air Of the forest to
be changed more slowly, and thus the sat
urated air is not SO largely replaced by dry
air, and the moisture is less rapidly carried
AMY.
The vicinity Of a forest increases the
summer rainfall considerably, but has less
effect in winter. The storage of rain water
in the moss, fallen leaves and heritage OF
the woods affards q supply Of vegetation
during dry seasons. A striking illustra-
ton OF this is afforded by forest on the
western shore OF the Caspian, where the
vegetation is very luXuriant, although it
never rains except in autumn and winter
M. Wocikof has observed that forests
!a,seP the temperature Of the country
around them. In Bosnia the summer is :
pr 8 dogs. cooler than in Herzegovina.
This difference is attributed to the woods.

Various Applications of PAPER,

Various new applications of paper are
being made by German manufacturers. A
pulley of hydraulic pressed pasteboard,
with an iron core and strong casing, Is said
to have greater friction than one of iron,
making it possible to use smaller pulleys,
and to save vibration by reducing the
tension of belts This pulley is made from
the well known oil paper employed for car
wheels. Handles for files and other tools
are being made from compressed chem
icaliy prepared paper, and are hard smooth,
light, durable and very convenient. -New

Execution Methods in China.

The Soo-Chow correspondent of the
North China Herald, reporting recently
the execution of eleven pirates in that
city, refers to the manner in which exc
cutions in China are fixed. In other coun-
tries the criminal knows beforehand the
day of his death, and has time to prepare
for his fate. But in China all is different.
At Pekin the vermillion pencil marks the
death warrant, which is Immediately
handed to courier, who instantly mounts
a horse and rides off to his destination.
The post supplies fresh horses, and he
goes onward, sleeping and eating in his
saddle, never halting by day or night, in
sunshine or rain. After riding 700 miles
he reaches Soo-Chow and delivers the
warrant to the Governor. Three messen-
gers are instantly dispatched, one to the
district magistrate, who presides at the
execution and who repairs at once to the
place, second to the camp for an escort
and the third to the jail. The victims
are bound, dragged before the image of
the lord of hades, which is in the prison,
and pay their respects. They are then
placed in cages, carried on coolies backs,
and at rough trot the cortege sets out
for the execution ground. The nerve and
blade of one executioner is never trusted
in Soo-Chow to take off more than three
or four heads. If there is a greater mum.
Der of criminals assistants are employed.
There are generally from fifty to one hun
dred executions per annum in Soo-Chow,
where all the criminals of Kiang- 500,
with population of 81, 900, 900, are ex-
ecuted. They are mostly pirates.

The Author Of "Home, Sweet Home" F"

John Howard Payne, author of
Home, Sweet Home" was born in
New York, June 6, 1892; died in Tunis,
April 10, 1852. He was very precocious,
and when only thirteen years old edited
the Thespian Mirror, and two years later
started paper called the Pastine, of
which only twenty-five numbers were
published. On the 26th of February,
1909, he made his first appearance on
the stage as Norval at the old Park
Theatre, New York. Afterward he
made tour of the chief American cities.
In 1912 he went to London, where he
played for several years, and wrote and
adapted many plays. For the drama
called ''Clari, or the Maid of Milan, he
wrote the song of s'Home, Sweet Home,"
upon which his fame chiefly rests. His
tragedy of 'sBrutus" was brought out at
Drury Lane In 1918. He also wrote
"Virginius" and ssCharles t." which
were also produced in London. He be-
came the friend and correspondent of
Lamb and Coleridge. In 1882 he re-
turned to the United States, and after ten
years of life of vicissitutes, he was ap-
pointed United States Consul at Tunis
by President Tyler. He served until
1S45, when he was recalled, but in 1851
President Fillmore reappointed him to
the same position, in which he died.-Mo

A Young horse which has not been

A young horse which has not been
worn out with work may be good to eat,
but, except one now and then that is ac-
cidentally wounded and rendered unfit
for work all the horses slaughtered in
Paris are old hacks. Unless the smell of
the flesh is deftly concealed or changed
by the cook, horsefesh is somewhat re-
pulsive, and soup made of it has an oily
appearance. But the natural repugnance
which people have for horsefesh arises
more from inherited ideas than anything
else. In Pagan times the horse was a
sacred animal, just as the COW is among
Hindoos to-day. Hares used to be con
sidered unfit for human food, and are SO
still in some parts of Russia. Religion
prevents the Jews, Turks, and Arabs
from eating pork.
Horsefesh is eaten openly in Berlin
and Vienna, but not to the same extent
rs in Paris. A Frenchman opened a
store for the sale of horse meat in London
few years ago, but it wasn't success.
Many thousand horses are killed for
cats meat in London every year, and in
poor districts it is sold in place of beef.
There is no law against the consumption
of horsefesh, if sold as such, but every
now and then some butcher is prosecuted
for selling horsefesh as beef.-Neso York
Sun.

Adolph Sutro is trying the experiment
of raising cinchona trees at his grounds
above the Cliff House. It is from the
bark of about dozen varieties of this
tree that quinine is extracted, and if they
will thrive in this climate the trees will
become very valuable.
Moreover, the cinchona is very snowy
tree and highly ornamental, some of them
growing to a height of eighty feet. The
enormous medicinal consumption of the
bark of the cinchona has caused the tree
to be extensively cultivated in India and
Java. 1t grows in high attitudes in New
Grenada, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia,
where there is great deal of moisture.
1t has been tried with success in Austria
liza, near the seacoast, and Mr. Sutro
