Bacteria and Plant Disease,


In many diseases of plants, bacteria, as small
heterogeneous are called, are SO often found
and seem SO close allied to the disease that
many close students have come to regard them
as the sole cause Of disease. Though the gen.
eral tendency Of scientific thought has been in
this direction, the fact has by no means been
demonstrated. The best that can be said of
this belief is that there lie great probability that
1t Is correct. But occasionally there are facts
which bear on the other side. DIR. Woolford is
quoted as saying that between the sound por-
ton OF teeth and that in which bacteria are
found is always portion softening in which
no bacteria are found. These organisms fol-
low and do not cause decay in teeth. though
Dr.. W. believes they hasten decay and should
be zealously combatted by those who would pre-
serve their teeth. II this is good science in
dentistry, it may be equally good in regard to
bacterial phenomena everywhere-in plants as
well as In animals 1t may be that they hasten
disease in plants, though not directly engen-
dering it

man. Webster could have been more majestic
Clay more winsome Sumner more eloquent.
Calhoun possibly more convincing, but no man
ever ruled his fellows with such iron determi-
nation.
Stern and unbend;ng az Mr.. Edmunds was as
Senator. in his home he is n very different
man. Among his friends he is wholly another

and his companionship is ideal. He can cook
as well as the Oldest Of woodsmen. In his tastes
he is as simple and democratic as you please.
1t has been said he is unapproachable. He
may be to politicians and newspaper men. but
to people who do not seek him for favors or to
worm interviews out of him he is as east
reached as any man in public life. He keeps
good horses. but his favorite ride to the Capitol
was on the street cars. His stiff, tall form sit
ting at the end Of a street car in midwinter
with heavy gray shawl wrapped around his
legs is familiar sight to people who live in the
northwestern part of Washington.
PROBABLY DONE WITH PUBLIC LIFE.
1t is not likely that Senator Edmunds will
again enter public life. He is now si1ty-three
The only temptation possible to him now is q
seat on the Supreme bench, and it is doubtful
II he would accept that He would have been
glad to round out his career as chief justice
but that was not his allotted honor. His home
in Washington, built by himself to correspond
is one Of the finest Of the new mansions in the
fashionable part Of the city. He used to live
near Thomas Circle, in the neighborhood of

Senate, but his achievements in politics and
the high honors he received as the member of
two cabinets and the great party lawyer and
of the craftsmanship Of the decades now gone
into history. Unlike Senator Edmunds he was

WHY THE PASSENGERS FELT SECURE.
By the time the ship dropped anchor in
Tybee roads most Of the passengers were fully
cognizant Of the true nature OF the disease that
was making such havoc among the troops, but
as they afterward assured the officer whom
they had seen dispensing the medicines, they
felt that they were comparatively safe because
they had, as they supposed, an experienced
officer OF the regular army medical corps in
charge. Imagine their establishment and ex
post facto fright when the so-calied doctor"
assured them that although he had been acting

been commenced and there were two or three
