The story of the life of DR.. Robert
Koch is interesting. He was born in
Clausthal, Germany. on Dec. II, 1913,
and is, therefore, comparatively young
man still, being only A years old. He
graduated in medicine in 1866, at Goet-
tingen, and settled down to practice his
profession in Buckwitz, Posen. From
1872 until 1880 he devoted himself al
most exclusively to the study OF chem

IRRIGATION BONDS.


Irrigation and the floating of irrigation
district bonds are now among the most
prominent topics before the people oi
many sections of the State. The senti-
ment in favor of irrigation is
well nigh unanimous, and the great
advantage of the various irrigation
schemes to the State is admitted by all.
In this very fact lies danger. and mis-
takes may be made unless caution is
used. The State is asking to borrow
Sl0,000,000 on irrigation bonds, and while
the great majority Of these bonds will be
good, yet fine opportunity will be
offered for swindlers to float wildcat
schemes and rob the unsuspecting pur-
chasers of bonds. The unanimity of senti-
ment in favor of irrigation, and the un-
doubted solvency of most of the districts,
will create the opportunity OF the
swindler and it will be strange if he does
not avail Of it.

r. S. Carey took the afternoon train
for San Francisco yesterday. AT the de-
pot he said to RECoRD-UNIoN repre-
sentative that his mission to the Bay City
was to have another consultation with
electric companies in regard to equipping
his street railway lines with electric
cars. He says that the people Of Sacra-
mento seem to be slow to believe that he
really intends to equip his roads with
electric cars, but he viii soon show them
that he means business. He was a little
angry at some of the criticisms he has
been subjected to in the newspapers and
in public meetings, and thought that q
good many people talked about matters
which they did not understand.

ITS BACKBONE BROKEN.
The Hot Wave Appears to Have
FIattened Out.

The Weather Bureau reports show the
temperatures at A. M. and P. NJ.
yesterday to have been 6l0 and $50. while
the highest and lowest were 940 and 600,
with brisk southerly winds and cloud
less sky.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ.
and P. NJ. were 1888 and 29.S4 inches.
showing slight rise in the barometer.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 10l0 and 670,
and one year ago to-day 90 and go.
Yesterday at 5 p. NJ. it was twelve de-
grees cooler than on Sunday at the same
hour, and the highest yesterday was ten
degrees less than on Sunday. The brisk
southwesterly wind, blowing from
| twelve to fifteen and eighteen miles per
hour, Is what has effected such change.
Yesterday must be classed with the hot
days, making sixteen continuous ones.
| This is the second time in fifteen years of
such an occurrence, and it may be the
end of the protracted and unprecedented
hot wave-unprecedented because the
| highest temperature never went lower
than 920, while the greatest hight reached
was 1862, and 1902 and over on five days,
as against the long heated spell Of sixteen
udyS, from y lIiS ~, 1907, W y Uly LII 1907,
| when the thermometer never reached
above 9S0 and fell as low as 800.
This tropical wave, therefore, beats the
record for intensity for such long time.
The forecasting office at San Francisco,
Lieutenant Finley, predicted that the
warm wave would be broken on yester-
day--that is, it would be the end of that
time when the temperature would not go
above 900 in the shade. Let US hope that
the prediction will be verified.

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL CAM
PAIGN.

Chauncey NJ. Depew has been inter
viewed in London about the prospects of
the different candidates in the next Presi-
Dental race. He deprecates the sugges-
ton that he is likely TO be the Republican
standard-bearer, and thinks that Harri-
son will be the nominee of the party,
though he believes Blaine is the strongest
man politically. Still he does not think
Blaine will be nominated, though he
does not state the grounds of his opinion.
Mr.. Depew is very shrewd man when
he is being interviewed. He is a strong
high tariff advocate, and he predicts Re-
publican success through the tariff and
silver questions. He says that "the Nc
Kinley tariff will do great deal to carry
the election for the Republicans-especi-
ally the reciprocity clause" Especially
the reciprocity clause' is good. Mr.. De-
pew has struck it exactly. Mr.. Blaine's

a NEEDED REMEDY.

An Indian accompanying Salton Lake
expedition in Southern California was
bitten by rattlesnake. He refused
whisky offered to him as an antidote, left
the party in search of plant, and in two
days returned cured Of the bite and unaf-
fected by the venom of the serpent. The
expeditionists say that the Indian pro-
cured golondrino, or mock orange root,
and applied it, and that the effect was to
aeutralize or draw out the poison.
In a communication to San Francisco
journal on this subject r. P. Hammond,
Jr., relates that his father some years ago
had Mexican foreman in mine in
Arizona. The man was bitten by a rattle
snake. He, too. refused whisky, and
within few yards of where he was bit
ten gathered weed, the emulsion of
which bound on the wound, and the tea
of which taken internally effected a
speedy cure. The man insisted that
wherever the snake is found there grows
near by a remedy for its bite. In this
case he claimed to have found golondrino,
but it was weed. Mr.. Hammond asks
what is ''golondrino?" Is it the root of
the mock orange, or is it distinctive
medical plant, and what is its botanical
character.
The question is one that ought to en-
gage the attention of the medical world.
The instances are very rare, indeed, in
which an American Indian suffers more
than slight inconvenience from the bite
Of the rattlesnake, but white people
struck by the reptile, in seven cases out
of ten, perish after the most terrible suf-
ferings. Now, if the Indian tribes have
knowledge Of specific for the venom of
the rattlesnake, modern science ought to
oughly test its virtues. and to prepare it
SO that it will be within easy reach and
application, as are other simple remedies.
The rattlesnake is found in the Sierras
along belt between 200 and 1000 feet OF
altitude; it is found in the foothills and
the coast range also. 1t is very numerous
it is still found in the Alleghanies, in the
Adirondacks, and in the swamps and the
plains, thickets and heavy woods of al
the West. Indeed, in eight-tenths Of the
territory of the United States the rattle.
snake is to be found, and in some parts
in great numbers. To this date medica
poison, and gives us no simple, speedy
method of healing the wound, the chic
treatment appearing to be to make the
victim hopelessly drunk, and to cauteriz,
the wound. But these methods are no
always readily applicable. If in natur,
there is a simple remedy, requiring only
ton, or its making into poultice, anC
the eating of the plant, then it ought t
be taken out of the category of rude prep
arations and prepared as a medicine.
Certainly the subject is one worthy O
scientific research, and the wonder is tha
botanists and physicians did not long agt
undertake it. We have endeavored u
ascertain if there has been any serious
effort made by science either to ascertain
what the aboriginal tribes use for tn
bites of venomous reptiles, or to prepar
medicine from natures simples for treat
ment of victims of poisonous sorpents
but our research has not been rewarde,
with success so far as the revelations of tn
books are concerned,
