TYPHOID FEVER GERMS.

Late Experiments Show the Disease MAY
BE Contracted Through the Lungs.
archaeological research has demonstrated
that typhoid fever germs may be carried in
the air as we'll as in water. MIR. Frederic
Bordas has discovered, however, that the
bacillus is destroyed in an atmosphere that
Is dry and completely deprived of its aaue-
GUS vapor, but that it continues to live and
develop in an atmosphere that is more or
less charged with moisture. This last fact
Is very important one, as it accounts for
number OF peculiaritieS that had hitherto
remained unexplained, such as the greater
frequency Of typhoid fever during the damn
months OF October and November. and the
customary outbreaks of epidemics precisely
at that period of the year.
The experiments of Mr.. Bordas lead us
to believe as well that the microbe of ty-
phoid fever is endowed with a certain force
Of resistance to exterior Influences. and.
furthermore, that it in all probability re-
fains for long time the pathogenic power

which would probably cause its destruction
are relatively rare. The latter hypothesis
agrees completely with the knowledge we
have OF the vital resistance of germs.
Finally, there Is nothing to prevent our
accepting the idea Of the possibility az dj-
rect penetration of the bacillus into the tis-
sue OF the lungs by means of the resnira.
tory tract. 10 say the least the idea seams
extremely probable, as meteorological anal
yses have demonstrated the presence of the
bacillus IN the dust of hospital wards.-N,

From ev'ry twlnkling ray.

ant on Clark street under the shadow of
the old Rookery. Link was taken with
the gout, or some other disease, and
sought cure in travel. He was accom-
panied by his wife in q circuit which en-
braced Kansas City, Hot Springs, New
Orleans, Atlanta and Nashville. In these
cities Mrs. Link posed as q wealthy north
ern lady and drove about In style, making
purchases In jewelry stores. In Nashville
she came TO grief in 'swapping'' rings, and
with her husband fled to Louisville. where
she vas arrested and sent back to NASH

victed, and sentenced to three years inn
prisonment.Mrs Link carried no paste"
