Interesting Facts About Diphtheria.

DR.. Schrevens, of Journal, gave some
interesting facts about diphtheria in a
paper which he read before the Hygien-
ic Congress. He said that statistics in
Belgium proved that diphtheria and
typhoid fever committed their greatest
rayages in the same districts, and rarely
existed Sc separately. He proceeded to say
that one circumstance which may foster
diphtheria in a locality is the breeding OF
certain species Of animals presenting a
great receptivity fog diphtherogenic
germs; for example, Italian fowls aud
game cocks. The transmission OF diph-
liberia to man by these animals was so
well established by his observations for
several years past that he felt persuaded
of the need of further attention being
paid to this subject. Finally, third
condition which necessarily fosters diph.
liberia in locality is the negligence Of
disinfection aad isolation. The altitude
OF the locality does not probably exer-
else any very great influence. One would
suppose that diphtheria would be es-
pecially prevalent in low damp places.
Recent observations in three contiguous
parishes proved that the principal seat of
the malady was in the most elevated
hamlet CT all.-Nee York Poa.

What Each Country Resembles.

Heylin, on page 80 of his "Cosmo.
graphic" (Lonion, 1851, says: "They
which have entertained a fancy OF re.
sembling every country to things more
obvious to the sight and understand
ing, have likeued Europe to a dragon;
the head OF which they make to Spain;
the two wings Italy and Denmark. In
like manner they have been curiously
impertinent in resembling France to
lozenge; Belgium to a lion; Britain to
an ak; Ireland to an egg; Pelopon-
nesus to plantaia Leaf; Spain to ap
OK hide spread OFT on the ground, and
Ita,y to a mans leg, with divers other
like phantasms begat by curious and
capricious brains. ."-,Ss. Louis Republic.

Edjson's Electric Motor.

Mr.. Edison says that he is working at
an electric motor which he thinks su
perior to any yet shown to the public.
These motors, he says, are "bound to
come" A friend who visited him was
reminded by Edison that they had ridden
together some ten years ago behind
motor which the wizard had constructed
at Menlo Park. "That motor" he said,
did everything since done by others;
but I was switched off from the subject
then by the need of working on improve
ments for the electric light" The motor
which Edison is now making is for Mr..
Henry Willard for use on a regular rail-
road, and it will develop at least 1000
horse power, which will be as powerful
as locomotives now in use. 1t is to take
up its electricity from the central rail.
Power from trolley wire would not an
swer for the the speed which this motor
attains. In point Of economy it is ex-
pected to work a great revolution. It
can he run at one-sixth the cost of coal.
When Edison gets motors under way the
so, 900 men and women who now get
employment from the manufacture and
sale of his inventions will be increased
10 three times that number. Boston

Where Fans Serves as a Newspaper,

While fans have been in use frcm the
remotest times in many countries, China,
in relation to the fan as in relation to
many other necessary articles OF civilizs-
ton, is generally supposed to have been
the first country in which the fan came
into general use. In China and Japan it
is not only used by the women, but is re-
gardel as indispensable to man as any
article Of his attire. There are fans in
these countries in all varieties. There
are palm leaf fans by the millions, and
fans made of rice paper and other ma
terials, covered with the most grotesque
figures imaginable. The cheapness OF the
commonest sort of fans in these countries
is marvel to foreigners, some of them
selling for not much more than what
would be mill in our currency. Fans are
so common and so cheaply produced that
they are frequently used as newspapers.
On important occasions Thousands of
them are issued containing printed char
acters and pictures in the form of news,
libels, political pasquinade' and carica-
lures, and they are read and commented
on with as much excite nent as "extras'
sometimes produce in this country.
During the great riots, when the mis-
sionaries were attacked in Pekin in 1873,
popular feeling was raised to a high pitch
by inaammatory pictures on fans, which
were circulated among the multitudes.
The first locomotive engine seen in Japan
was pictured Oh fans, which were
promptly-so to speak-published by the
thousands and sent all over the empire,
and in this manner the common people
in Japan were made aware of the ap-
pearancc Of what was to be so great a
factor in civilizing their country. - Com.

portaut, I can make them OF different
colors. Ono of my finest specimens
Is pear-shapei pink pearl worth
at least $1,000. I sent mate to
it that was little more spherical to
the Smithsonian Institute in Washing
ton. They would not believe that the
gem had been grown to order, so to
spea,, but sent a scientist out to my
farm to investigate, and he remained in
credulous untis he saw me take pearl
out of one of my molds and put it back
again. Then he wanted to know about
the different colors, and / showed him
several specimens which had been made
to partake of the general tingc of the in
terror OF the shell. Thus by selecting
interiors Of different tinges l have pro-
duced white, black, pink and OCCASION
ally green pearls.
81 do not regard my process as pat
entable, because it did not really origi-
nate with me, and am not afraid OF
competition, because pearl growing as
profession requires too much time and
skill for many to engage in it. The
average man wants a quick return for
his money, and that is something which
he absolutely cannot get in pearl farm
ing. The only one know beside Lin
neus and myself who has undertaken
pearl cultivation is Alfred Fredericks,
son of the well-known New York photo
grapher. He succeeded in raising pearls
at his home on the Passaic River, be-
tween Summit and Chatham, n. j., and
had some success, producing black one
OF considerable value. He was mere
lad at the time, aud, as he has turned
his attention to electricity since, I fancy
he has gone out Of the pearl business for
good"

HARVEST SONG.

Laugh out laugh out, We orchard lands,
With all your ripensd store;
Such bounteous measure nature yields;
What could heart ask for more?
With earth's broad lap abrim with food,
The azure skies above,
The heavens whisper, "Eardh is good;'
Earth answers "Heaven is love-"
The winds that wander from the Wes.
Ger fields afar or near
Find plenty nowhere manifest
In richer stores than here.
The golden rick, the bursting bin,
OF rich aud ripened grain
Bespeak the wealth which all may win
In industry's domain.
The corn fields set in grand array
OF solid rank and row
Are streams Of wealth which set this way,
And soon shall overflow.
Laugh out, laugh out ye ripensd fields,
With e'er-increasing mirth;
The JOY your bounteous measure yields
Shall bless the whole round earth.
