SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDISON, NJ. D.,
"Oo H1oONS M D'S
Health Commissioner, New York CITY

Health Commissioner, New York City.
1t is necessary, If one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men,
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of a theory" has become
misnomer. A germ of disease is a
plant, so small that ! do not know
how to express intc1ligibly to the gem
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, it's ac-
tion appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them, at the same time producing new
substances.
But the germs of the greater part of
the germ diseases, that is, of the infec-
tious and contagious diseases, will de-
velop or increase in number without
being in the body of a human being,

physician would be apt to think of dis
case germs which have not been killed
during the process of baking as
cause of the sickness following the
use of lncooked yeast bread. Yet this
result from this cause is more than
probable. I have not the slightest
doubt that could we trace back some
of the cases of illness which we meet
in our practice we would find that
germs collected by the baker have
found their way into the yeast bread,
that the heat has not been sufficient to
destroy them, that the uncooked yeast
bread has been eaten and with it the
colonies of germs, that they have
found their way into the blood and
that the call for our services which
followed, has rounded off this sequence
of events.
/ have already pointed out that the
germs of disease are to be found in
the air and dust. The longer any SUBJ
stance to be eaten is exposed to the
air, the greater the chance that germs
will be deposited on it. Bread raised
with yeast is worked down or kneaded
twice before being baked and this pro-
cess may take anywhere from four
hours to ten. 1t has, then, the chance
of collecting disease germs during this
process of raising and it has two peri
DDS of working down or lneading dur

ing each of which it may gather the
dirt containing the germs from the
bakers hands. AS no bread save that
raised with yeast, goes through this
long process of raising and kneading
so no bread save that'raised with Yeast
has so good chance of gathering
germs.
What is meant by raising" bread Is
worth few words. The introduction
OF the yeast into the moist dough and
the addition of heat when the pan is
placed near the fire produces an enor-
nous growth Of the yeast fungi-the
yeast germ" in other words. These
fungi effect destructive fermentation
OF portion of the starchy matter of
the four-one of the most valuable
nutrient elements in the flour The
fermentation produces carbonic acid
gas, and this, having its origin in
every little particle of the starch
which is itself everywhere in the flour,
pushes aside the particles of the dough
to give itself room. This is what is
called raising the bread.
1t needs but glance to see that it
is, in its effects on the dough, purely

HOW INSECTS MAKE MUSIC.

Katydids Rub Their Shoulder Blades and
Grasshoppers Strike Their Wings.
Everybody is familiar with the music
of the katydid. Here, again, says the
Washington Star, it is the male that
has the voice. At the base of each
wing cover is thin membraneous
plate. He elevates the wing covers
and rubs the two plates together. If
you could rub your shoulder blades to-
gether you could initiate the operation
very nicely.
Certain grasshoppers make sound
when flying that is like watchman's
rattle-clackety-c very rapidly re-
peated. There are also some moths
and butterflies which have voices. The
deaths head" moth makes a noise
when frightened that strikingly re-
sembles the crying of young baby.
How 1t is produced is not known,
though volumes have been written on
the subject. The mourning cloak"
butterfy-a dark species with light
border in its wings-makes a cry of
alarm by rubbing its wings together.
The katydids, crickets, grasshoppers
and other musical insects are all ex-
aggerated in the tropics, assuming
giant forms. Thus their cries are pro-
portionately louder. There is an East
Indian cicada which makes a remark
ably loud noise. 1t is called bv the
natives "dundub," which means drum.
From this name comes that of the
genus, which is known as dundubia.
This is one of the few scientific terms
derived from the Sanskrit.
The "deathwatch' is popular name
applied to certain beetles which bore
into the walls and floors of old houses.
They make ticking sound by stand
ing on their hind legs and knocking
their heads against the wood quickly
and forcibly. 1t is sexual call Many
superstitions have been entertained re-
specting the noise produced by these
insects, which is sometimes imagined
to be a warning of death.
Entomologists have succeeded in re-
cording the cries Of many insects by
the ordinary system of musical nota-
tion. But this method does not show
the actual pitch, which is usually sew
eral octaves above the staff. It mere
ly serves to express the musical inter
walls. 1t is known with reasonable GER
tainty that many insects have voices
SO highly pitched that they cannot be
heard by the human ear. One evidence
of this fact is that some people can dis
tinguish cries Of insects which are not
audible to Others ~;

sweet as possible, there having been
no time during which 1t could sour.
This involves the fact that the bread
So made will keep longer, as it is less
likely to be contaminated by the germs
that affect the souring process.
1t will be strange if the crowds of
visitors to the world S fair do not great
ly increase the number of contagious
disease, which we will have to treat.
Under these circumstances is It not
folly of follies to open a single chan
mel through which these germs NAV
reach us? Is it not the part of wisdom
to watch with the greatest care all
that we eat and drink, and to see that
none but the safest and best methods
are employed in the preparation of our
food? To me it seems as though there
could be but one answer to questions
like these.
| have shown the danger of using
the yeast raised bread, and with this I
have shown how that danger NAV be
avoided. Inc ounce of prevention
which in this case is neither diff
ficult nor expensive Is certain
ly worth many pounds Of cure,
and the best thing about It is
that 1t may be relied on almost abso-
9utely' Those who during the coming

mechanical. The dough, which was
before a close-grained mass, is now
full of little holes, and when cooked in
this condition is what we ordinarily
call light. This porous quality of
bread enables the stomach to rapidly
and easily digest it, for the gastric
juices quickly soak into and attack it
from all sides. The fermentation of
the dough, however, uses up a portion
of the nutrient elements of the loaf.
If it be possible, therefore, to produce
light porous loaf without this de-
struction and without the ''kneading"
process, which fills the dough with
germs and filth, and without the long
period during which the raising process
goes on, the gain in food and the gain
in the avoidance of the germs is ex-
ceedingly plain.
But while we can easily see the dan
gers which attend the use of yeast it is
certain that the vesiculating effect
produced by it on the dough is to the
last degree perfect. BY this mean
that every particle of gluten produces
its little bubble of gas and that there
fore the bread is properly raised that
is, 1T is raised everywhere. 1t is APP
parent that if we are to substitute any
other system OF bread making we must

HORSE SENSE.
An Instance Which Shows Wonderful
sagacity In Two Animals.

An Instance Which Shows Wonderful
ssgacity In Two Animals.
A writer in Nature from the Ruskin
museum, Sheffield, records an instance
OF sagacity in horses. From the win
dow opposite, he says, I have Just wit
messed an interesting performance on
the part OF two horses. bordering the
park Is a strip Of land, doomed to be
built upon, but meanwhile lying waste
and used for common pasturage, on
which the horses under notice were
leisurely grazing. A pony in a cart,
having been unwisely left by the
owner for time unattended ON the
grass. suddenly started off, galloping
over the uneven ground at the risk OF
overturning the cart. The two horses,
upon seeing this, immediately joined
in pursuit with evident zest. NY first
supposition, that they were merely
joining in the escapnde in a frolicsome
spirit, was at once disproved by the
methodical and business-like manner
OF their procedure. They soon reached
the runaway, by this time on the road,
one on one side of the cart and one on
the other, then, by regulating their
pace, they cleverly contrived to inter-
cept his progress by gradually coming
together in advance of him. thus
stopping him immediately in the tri-
angular corner they formed. Until
the men camo up to the pony's head
they remained standing thus together
quite still; then the two horses, evil
IDENTITY satisfied that all was now right,
without any fuss trotted back again
together to their grass.

thing worth seeing over there" etc.
but those who do take the trouble to
walk few blocks further are we'll re-
paid for the extra exertion by the rare
sights which greet their eyes in that
direction.
The Forestry building contains some
of the most beautiful specimens of pol
ished and rough woods ever displayed
in the world. The building itself is
study in rustic architecture and we'll
worth inspection.
At the extreme southern end of the
building is shown the largest plank in
the world. 1t is of redwood, from
Humboldt county, Cal OF it the fol-
lowing description is given:
"The great tree from which the plank
was hewn was thirty-fve feet in diam
eter, when standing, and was supposed
to have reached the patriarchal age of
fifteen hundred years. A part of one
side of the tree had rotted, and, after it
had been felled, in burning up the sur
rounding brush, still more of the tree
was destroyed by fire, so that the width
OF the plank represents less than half
of the original diameter of the tree.
The entire height of the tree was three
hundred feet; the plank being cut from
section of the trunk twenty-eight
feet from the ground. The plank is
the largest in the world, it's dimensions
being as follows: Sixteen feet five
inches wide, twelve feet nine inches
long and five inches thick. 1t is highly
improbable if tree will ever be found
that will yield larger plank; SO that
the mammoth piece of timber here de.
scribed may certainly be termed the
sight of lifetime"
In the exhibit of the Argentine Re-
public is shown an octagonal block of
wood which yields twenty-five per cent
of tannin. In Paraguay's exhibits are
precious woods of colors approximating
to those of jewels. These are polished
to degree that is surprising, and make
a beautiful showing. Kentucky-at
the eastern side of the build;ng-shows
a section, followed out and placed so
that visitors can pass through it, of a
sycamore from the birthplace of Jeffer.
son Davis. It's eleven feet in diam
eter. Near the north end of the build.

ing are shown cross sections of trees
from Oregon. There is a yellow fir
log six feet in diameter. The yellow
fir grows all over the northwest coast
range mountains. 1t is of superior ex-
cellence for ship building and spars.
1t ranges from two to ten feet in diam
eter. A cross section of trunk of tide
land spruce is shown. 1t is nine feet
nine inches in diameter The butt was
sixteen feet in diameter, the tree being
three hundred and five feet high
and three hundred. years old. Great
slabs OF noble fir, spruce, lovely fir and
yellow fir are shown.
The central exhibit in the building
is gr and pyramid built of specimens
OF wood from all the world. 1t is a
congress OF blocks, something decided
ly more novel than congress of block
heads. California's contribution, a cut
ting fourteen feet in diameter, red
wood four hundred and seventy-five
years old when Columbus landed un-
der the scant shade of palm trees at
San Salvador, forms the base of the
pyramid. Around and on it are
grouped Ching Chang from Siam, bam-
boos from Japan, teak wood from In
dia, and specimens from allother coun
tries and from every state in the United
States whether designated a prairie
state or not. And there is a real, sure
enough ak, glass-cased, that figures as
sort of frontispiece to this wood
grouping.
Yes, Gladstone's ak is at the fair, the
very ak he used in cutting out the un-
der growth at Hawarden while train
ing to knock out the marquis OF Sails
bury in the political arena.
To every one who visits the great fair
we would say, by all means see the

worth your while to look at the trees.

tunes in a Day.
Death of 1. S. SCENT, Long Beach
Recluse.
A Once SIulti-Millionaire Found Dead
In Lonely Cabin Under Very
Peculiar Circumstances.
His Latter Days.

II BILLY" Hurt, the notorious gam
bier who is known from east to west,
could read the history OF a man found
dead yesterday in lonely cabin near
Long Beach, he would mediate and
say my autobiography, though full Of
terrible tales of gambling and swindling,
is not in it with that mans"
And yet little is known of the recluse
whose body was found under peculiar
circumstances. Enough is known, how
ever, TO justify the statement that |. S.
SCENT has made and lost millions al
most in a day.
Coroner Gates received work that
Scenu had been found dead in his cabin
on Alamitos beach. He went down and
found that the man bad died from pneu-
monia.
SCENT had checkered career.
Seven or eight years ago Paris was the
scene OF great gambling craze, which
was OF short duration. SCENT who was a
native of Spain, and man 60 years of
age, created more excitement in gaming
circles at the time than did "Billy"
Hunt. During his short stay in Paris
he managed to make several millions of
dollars through cards and other gam
bling devices known only in Paris and
at Monte Carlo. He lost his gainings
as easily as he won them.
Becoming difgusted with the life, he
sailed for New York with quite a snug
sum. Several years passed over his
head, and he was without anything
save the valuable jewels and trinkets
which he always carried with him.
Misfortune having overtaken him, as
it eventually does every man of his
kind, SCENT came to California.
When he settled in the little cabin by
the sea he decided to live and die in
ooscurity. His life SO hermit did not
last long.
SCENT avoided meeting people when
ever possible. He lived from the sale OF
his trinkets and sold them at q great re-
duction from their value. He was little
known around Long Beach.
