bacteria killed by EIectrie,.v.

The disease producing bacteria may
be killed by a current of electricity. as
has been shown by experiments with
bottles of water containing them. BY
passing the current from a battery
through loop of wire suspended in the
water 1t was found that a small voltage
was sufficient to deprive the most active
bacteria of life. The consumption ba-
cillus died under two and quarter
volts, while other more hardy species
could not survive more than three volts
and half.
Unfortunately, this electrical method
would be too expensive and troublesome
for the householder to pursue. 1t is sug-
gested, therefore, that cities or water
companies shall perform the entire task,
delivering the water to consumers in a
condition guaranteed harmless Accord
ing to the plan proposed the killing of
the microbe Is to be accomplished at the
reservoir. Nothing could be easier than
to apply the energy of a battery by a
current at one place in the supply pipes
as to kill with absolute certainty every
microbe that passed through in the flow
ing water.
A dynamo with capacity of 1000
wis "ouiu uo tne WORK perfectly Tor
the biggest possible pipe, Staying all the
bacteria going through and rendering
innocuous all the millions of gallons
daily that metropolis consumes All
that is necessary is that length of the
pipe shall be made of insulated material,
and through holes in its sides will be in
serted wires representing the poles of the
battery positive on one side and mega
tive on the other. Set the dynamo going,
and the current springs through the wa
ter, filling it with powerful electric
waves necessarily fatal to all living or
ganisms floating in the stream New

GENERAL PERSONAL MENr1oN

Jerry Rusk's rain making career sug-
gests that he may be trying to take the
presidency by storm.
Lucky Baldwin, the multi million
aire miner and horseman OF California,
has just purchased in Chicago furniture
for his three big hotels-one at Santa
Anita, another in Eldoraro county, but
the largest, $3,000,000 structure, in
San Francisco.
Shibata Zeshin, the greatest worker in
Japanese lacquer ever known, has just
died at the age of eighty-three. His
work first attracted attention in 1874.
1t was a yotive tablet in the shrine of
the village of Oil, near Toxic, where it
still is. Zeshin began to paint fans, and
worked up to within five days of his
death.
Rev. DIR. Burchard, who died Friday
afternoon, is said to have declared, while
exhorting at revival meeting in Pough-
keepsie fifty years ago, that he had huge
carbuncles on his knees, caused by the
hours he had spent on his knees praying
for the conversion of sinners. After that
he went by the title of ."Carbuncle
Burchard.
Professor Franz Bruennon, the astron-
omer, who died short time ago in
Heldsburg, was well known in America,
as he was the occupant of the chair of
astronomy in Ann Arbor for many years.
He left America to accept the director
ship Of the observatory in Dublin. Bru-
ennon's most important work is his
Textbook of Spherical Astronomy"
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the famous
Boston poet, has just returned from
journey to Europe. He isa rather short,
thickset man, with leonine head, COW
cred with short, curly locks, and hand
some face with regular features and
sensitive mouth, which is not concealed
by the brownish- gray moustache. Even
those passers-by who did not know that
the man was Thomas Bailey Aldrich
could not fail to be struck by the dignity
of his carriage and by the refinement
and strength of his face.
James Whitcomb Riley denies that he
is collaborating an opera with Sir Arthur
Sullivan. "What may have given rise
to this report is my taking with me a

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing.
The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
SO as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing chaos
A chaos is a steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. Their edges are gener-
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear.
without exception, very sharp. In addi-
ton, some of them are ''wobblers." The
duffer passed several unpleasant quarters
of an hour in following the hnHter, ex-
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry ON
his leg souvenir of one of them.-Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.

A Poor Man ON Tax Days.

City Counselor Will G. Marshall had
big case just before he went into his
Office, and while it was pending he had
to present a heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client brought him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth
100000 in unincumbered real estate.
At the proper time Marshall brought
him before the court and put him on
the stand.
How much are you worth?'' he asked
him. The bondsnan hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. ooh,
well, you're worth 800, 900 in real estate,
suppose" said Marshall.
Good gracious, no! Not half of
that" exclaimed the witness. ssI guess
am worth about $20,0OO."
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, he asked him warmly
what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
II am worth $4,000 said the man
cody, ''but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? I've been
reporting $40, 900 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me for back
taxes if told how much 1 was worth on
the stand. didn't know you was going
to put me ON the stand or / should have
warned you. st. Louis Post-Dispatch

At the last session of the legislature
some OF our law makers seemed greatly
enamored with the Washington system
Of taxation that exempts notes and other
evidences of debt from assessment, and
without for q moment consulting the
wishes of the great farming class worked
with a determination to place similar
law on the statute books of Oregon, and
in fact, when they could not carry their
point. spitefully defeated all legislation
save only that which created a state
board of equalization. Will the farmers
please remember that they will have the
making of the members of the next leg
islature, and to them belongs more than
to any other class; the responsibility of
electing only such men as will pledge
themselves to carry ont their wishes
That the Washington law is not satis-
factory to the farmers of that state is
evident from the fact that some of the
farmers papers are demanding in no
uncertain tones its repeal. Its trainers
are denounced as dishonest, contempt
ible, black-hearted statesmen, and the
farmers OF the state are urged to sup
port no man at the next election who
will not pledge himself to work for its
repeal.

Climate and Morals.

The world is tolerably well mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us where we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl-
edge of the relation of man to climate is
still far from scientiic-that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac-
ter and conduct. To come to detail
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as luxury
seldom to be indulged in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthful
ness.
Whether the difference is owing to
race or climate our observations do not
yet enable us to determine. There is a
popular notion that the habit of prevari-
cation goes along with warmth. or with
a debilitating atmosphere, and that cold
is tonic, sort of stimulant for truth
fulness. We indeed have in the phrase
''the cold truth" recognition of this.
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity. Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.

Common Sense in Bicycle Riding.

Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department. in Outing
says: .sThere is no doubt about it but
that better air valve must be devised,
made with an alright cap which cam
not be detached. Some such device I
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages, and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally IN use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu-
matte tires how.to initiate and to what
tension-the heavier the man. the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
d bit Of trouble if they would get the
best results out of a pneumatic tire

WILL HE DECLINE?

Referring to an interview with Binger
Hermann which appeared in the Oregon
idn, of last Friday, wherein that gentle
man, in answer to the question, SIS there
any truth in the alleged agreement be-
tween you and Harry Miller, whereby
you draw out of the race in his favor?"
and Mr.. Hermann is reported to have
answered, ''It may become improper for
me to decline the nomination, if thought
for the best interest of the state for me
to accept" the Ashland Tidings comes
out squarely and says: ''Mr. Hermann
did certainly state to H. b. Miller prior
to the nomination of 1890, that if his
friends came to his rescue at that time
he would not ask their support again,
but ut the end of his next term would
step down and out. This PLEDGE con-
tinues the Tidings, sis in letter over
the congressman's own signature, and
the statement in the press recently, that
Mr.. Hermann would not be candidate
for denomination was made, therefore,
upon authority which ought to be con-
sidered good-that of Mr.. Hermann him
self" The Tidings has not word to
say against Mr.. Hermann, but that pa
per seems desirous of getting him out of
the way to make room for Harry Miller,
and from what the CHRONICLE knows of
both of these gentlemen it seriously
questions the wisdom of the Tidinos'
choice. However, as Mr.. Hermann him
self says, it will be time enough to pass
ind Al 4.
nominating convention meets. Mean
while it is interesting to note that the
only opposition to Hermann's renomi-
nation that we hear of comes from re-
publican papers, and these chiefly of his
own neighborhood. In marked contrast
with their evident desire to shelve Her
mann for some other man is the Ian
guage of the West Side, democratic
paper published at independence, Polk
county. The editor of that journal takes
occasion to say, eff republican is to be
elected from the first district to the next
congress, Binger Hermann is the man.
When we were in Washington City in
1890, we found that Mr. Hermann
welded an influence in behalf of this
state second to no men that ever repre-
sented US since Gen. Joe Lane and Col.
Nesmith represented Oregon. To set
Herman aside for men who are aspiring
to his place is simply political meanness.
We have not seen name yet suggested
who as his equal in any particular, or
who can do for the state of Oregon as
much good as he.' And referring to the
statement in the Salem Journal (Which
has been attacking Hermann) that that
paper ''does not join in the democratic
attacks on Herinann,' the West Side in
dignantly asks, please tell us by whom
any democratic attack has been made
on Hermann? None has been made.
No, the Journal must make its own
fight. The democrats will cheerfnlly
bear their part of the responsibility
when Mr.. Hermann shall be a candidate
again"

Frank Mayo In David Crockett.
An exchange saws :

al "a tAietAis1
Mr.. Mayo is the ideal backwoods-
mana hero in buckskin. He Is
commanding in statue, an Apollo in
appearance, strong as Hercules, and
as tender as a woman; face that for
manly beauty is not surpassed, and
an eye that can flash like the light
ming, or mel ing in softness can look
deepest love into a Woman's eyes.
All this with a voice sweetly
musical, or loud in clear, ringing
tones that thrill makes him the very
dream of the dramatist who limned
the beautifully poetic character.
That Davy Crockett should become
famous is not surprising. Like the Old
Homestead, it is an idyl of American
life, pure and simple. Priest, poet
or peasant, must all enjoy it, and the
most vigorous opponent of the stage
could not find a questionable line or
situation in it. A more beautiful
play than Davy Crockett never was
written.
Frank Mayo will appear at Elders
opera house in David Crockett Jan,
10. Seats will be put on sale Monday
at the accustomed place.
