that liquids strongly lmpregnated with
gases and alkali have been the most
efflcacious, and it is but matter of
time when a liquid strongly impreg-
mated with those substances will be dis
covered that will efectually destroy
the microbes or Germs of Disease.
1t is an organic form Of such extreme
mlnuteness as to be classified under
the head of Micrococci. The Microbe
is spherodical, transparent and Of a
gelatinous Consistence. 1t enters the
human system by inhalation, or EXISTS
in the water or milk we drink, or the
food we eat. 1t is able to stand the
greatest amount of heat. By the most
careful study and frequent experiments
microbes have been induced, by ivory
needles, into meats that have been
thorouhly roasted and boiled, and
yet, when taken from the ovens, pans,
gridirons or pots, the microbes have
been found to be yet alive and propa-
eating, thus showing that even cooking

Professor Tyndall says of the Mi
crobe: They are found in myriads
and countless shapes, floating in the
air, destroying man as we'll as beast
and vegetation. The virtual triumphs
of the antiseptic system of surgery is
based on the recognition of living con-
tagia OF microbes, as the agent of puri-
cation, and this discovery made, il be-
hooves the closest study of the subject
by the physician, surgeon, chemist,
agrlculturist, in fact by all men, to en-
deavor to discover some powerful liquid
substance, heavily charged with some
SO far undiscovered gaseous substance
that will penetrate through every tissue
of the human, animal or vegetable sys-
tenn and effectually destroy that death
dealing pest, the Microbe.
The word NIicrobe was first intro
duced by Professor Charles Sedillot,
and endorsed by the great philogist,
Llttre, who caused its adoption by the
Academic de Seances of France, and
thus had it admitted as a scientific
term to be used by all scientists.
Science has taught us that the direct
causes of contagious diseases are d.
rectly attributable to a minute, invisi-
bic, yet death-dealing insect, feeding,
living on the germs of corruption in

and spreading disease wherever it
makes its appearance. The extermina-
ton of that curse to the human race has
taxed the ablest scientists, who have
devoted hours Of study IN each and
every branch of their different re-
searches to check the ightful inroads
made by the microbe upon whatever it
attacks.

Fortunately for VIM. Radam he was
able to command the means that en-

he patiently advanced in his study Of
the Microbe. He was not the man to
rely merely on book learning although
he closely studied the theories advanced
by scientists.
William Radam, after years of pa

A pleasant but informal gathering oc
cnrred at the Baptist church Tuesday eve
ming to celebrate the completion of repairs
on the church edifice. A large audience
both of me mbers and outsiders listened with
pleasure to an interesting programme of
songs, recitstions, short addresses and
musical selections finely rendered oy the
LADIES' orchestra which although without a
name as yet, is rapidly acquiring popularity
After the exercises of the programme in
the church, an adjournment was made TO
the vestry. This room had been tastefully
decorated for the occasion by the young
la lies of the society and presented a most
attractive appearance. Here the remainder
of the evening was spent in social recre-
alton and in the enjoyment of choice re-
freshments, The members of the church
are TO be congratulated upon the possession
of such beautiful church building, so
handsomely decorated and best OF all free
from debt.
At meeting of Colby students in the
college chapel. Tuesday morning, it was
voted to hold public debate to be gener-
ally taken part in by the students some time
during the early weeks of the spring term.
The object of tha debate is to extend the
benefits of public speaking now enjoyed
only by men who gain appointments to a
larger class of the student body.

Ice Operations Along the Kennebec
River.
Especial to the Kennebe Journal.

Special to the Kennebec Journal.
GARDINER, Feb 5.-The boom in Ken
nebec ice still continues and every compa-
ny is working on full time with as full
crews as car be secured. In many respects
this year is remarkable one. Never be-
fore has finer ice been secured and for
years 1t has not been housed at so small a
cost and with so little waste. But the lot
of the ice man is not all easy and pleasant
Men, that is experienced men, have been
hard to secure and many of the companies
have )een forced TO run with small crews,
and other drawbacks have hiLdered the
rapid progress of the work.
on the Hudson the prospect is not ma
terialy changed only as the season ad-
vances with the continued mild weather.
There are still many New York, Philadel
phia Washington and Baltimore ice men
along the river looking for available locs-
tions and AS advantageous places pur-
chase.
They are cautious still, however, and do
not propose to be caught until the last
chance to secure ice on the Hudson is given
up. Some sales at good figures, 81 80 and
a shade better, are reported. Freight rates
are sl25 to Philadelphia, 81 80 to New
York and Washington, and $40 to Rich
mond. Vessels are very scarce and in
good demand The thsw Tuesday and
Wednesday made matters bad at several
places. Some of the fields cracked and
the crews were obliged to knock of work,
The promise of big drop in temperature,
however, encouraged icemeH Wednesday
night.
Al the Ice boro houses Of the Knicker-
booker Company last night, they worked
well INTO the night in order to finish filing
the houses At other points along the
liver they are about half full. There is
good prospect that the old Bradstreet Bros.
house at Farmingdale, which have been al
most wreck for several years, will be
cleared away and big stack put up on the
site. Page at Ilallowell is building 5000
ton stack on Wilson wharf. and Haley.
Clark & Chaplin and the knickerbockers
at Dresden and lceboro, will stack large
amounts. The following is conservative
stimaIe of one of the leading operators on
he river as to the amount of 1890 ice
stored from the commencement of the
season up to Wednesday night:
