DIR. Maerker Gives Some Facts Re-
garding Lymph.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4th, 1S9.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4th, 1891.
Ed. MISUNDERSTANDING to an article
in the NORTHWEST of the 18th, on "The
Composition of Lymph" will you allow to
make little correctionp
The lymph does not contain tuberculosis
bacilli; it is a bacillus culture with
out the bacilli. The bacillus is grown
in substance, probably some form of meat
broth, the composition of which and the
method of cultivation are so far only knownto
Prof. Koch and his assistants, and this broth
is afterward filtered through unglazed porce-
lain plates so as to exclude all possibility Of
any germs in the lymph. 1t is really broth
holding in solution the poisonous substances
which have been produced by the bacilli; this
is diluted with glycerine and some antiseptic
is added to prevent decomposition.
The lymph is not modified" germ like
the lymph of cowpox which Jenner used, or
the lymph procured from the rabbit for the
treatment of hydrophobis as employed
by Pasteur. These exercise their influence
upon the healthy tissues and so protect against
invasion-not SO, the lymph of Koch; it only
affects tissues invaded by the bacillus tuber-
culosis; it does not produce the slightest ef-
feet in healthy tissues and it affords no pro-
lection against future invasion by the same
disease.
fear this is already too long or would
write more on this subject.

He would PIay Hockey.

Some five weeks ago Ben. Goachee one OF
our youths who don't "giye shucks for all the
school teachers and truant officers in the
State" was brought before the Probate court
by Officer Burns on complaint of the Super
intendent for willful and continued absence.
After being repremanded severely he escaped
severe punishment by promising to walk the
ways of rectitude and especially the path be-
tween his domocile and the school house.
This he failed to do and Thursday of last tweek
again saw him before Judge Donnelly on the
same old charge. He stoutly refused to 60 to
school and was sentenced to term in the re-
form school at Lancaster where the marshal
took him Friday morning. This sentence will
bring with jerk the realization to many par
ents that legislators are not passing laws for
their health nor will superintendents or truant
officers lay themselves liable by not enforcing
such laws in order to humor a littlestubborn-
ness. w

An old Chestnut Burned.

An Iowa judge has made wise decision.
An ingenious youth of the State tied thread
to a nickel, dropped the nickel in slot ma
chine, got what he wanted, then, withdrawing
the nickel by the thread, repeated the opera
ton until he had made a clean sweep of the
receptacle's contents. He was arrested on
the charge of theft, but the Judge who tried
him held that he had committed neither
burglary, larceny, nor robbery. nor neither
obtained property under false pretenses. He
had merely done what the inscription on the
machine told to do-dropped nickel in the
slot-and had kept on doing it. Nothing was
said about leaving the coin where it was
dropped. This decision will probably abate
anuisance.

The lower part of the court house has as

hands of the masons and carpenters in tax
ing preliminary steps to putting in the new
system of heating. None are inconvenien-
ced more than county surveyor Chas. N.
Schwab. To successfully operate the system
it necessitates the erection of brick wall
nearly diagonally across his Office, shutting
out three windows, thus uniting the apart
ment remaining for an Office wherein much
writing is done. Surveyor Schwab has tenn
porarily taken up quarters in the Recorders

The subject of crossings was ventilated in
the council chamber Monday evening. The
members realized the necessity of devising
some means by which travel could be assured
minus the aid of life preservers. Many CROSS
ings are in deplorable condition while those
whole are but lily constructed in regard to
grade. Whether this is due to family en-
ginee or street commissioner it is not known;
howbeit the trouble exists, as hardly
crossing is above or even level with
the road, but rather from 2 to 10 inches low
er. The result can be nought else but im-
passable crossings in the wet seasons. To
people who have the characteristics of Elijah
Elisha for walking over liquid surfaces this
would not cut much of figure but the aver
age pedestrian finds 1t very inconvenient.
