NEW YORK, March 6-Rarely, II ever,
In the history of the Stock Exchange
have there been such violent fluctuations
In stock as were witnessed In American
Sugar during the first hour OF business
to-day. At the start there was decline
Of about points, to 81, following which
a rise of Il points. to 100, took place
Then. in less time than 1t takes to tell,
the stock sold down to 81, and back to
95a.
Reasons innumerable were given for
the sensational changes In the stock. 1t
was said that Washington and local
bears had been alarmed by the placing
of big buying order. and had rushed
in TO cover which resulted in the phe-
nomenal rise already noted. Others said
the rise was the result of a pool buying
Keen was credited with having the
management of this latest commission
The subsequent collapse TO s0i2 was said
to be due to the fact that the big bears
in the stock had been compelled to make
a private settlement at 100. or course,
with the elimination OF the short interest,
there was no longer any reason to sup
port the price, and buying orders were
withdrawn with the result already noted
The closing transactions in the stock
were at Ni2, gain for the day OF only
a per cent. The dealings I'm the stock
footed up 1870 shares out OF Srahd

FACTS ABOUT DISEASE GERMS.
The strangcst OF the 'Truc Fairy Tales" Of
Modern Science.


Modern Science.
Among the we'll known diseases whose
bacterial origin IL already placed beyond
reasonable doubt are erysipelas, tubercu-
los;s. diphtherta, tetanus, typhoid fever,
croupous pneumonia and influenza. The
facts discovered regarding some Of these
during the past Is years are among the
strangest of the "true fairy tales" OF mod
ern science. For example, the rhicrococcus
Of croupous pneumonia, as discovered by
DIR. Sternberg, turks in the mouth and Is
harmless there, awaiting, as 1t were, an
opportunity when q condition OF lowered
vitality Of the system, as from exposure to
cold, shall enable il to take up its active
abode In the lungs and begin develop
ment whose results will be manifest In an
Inflammation OF those organs. Again, It
appears that the bacillus Of tetanus, or
lockjaw, Is abundant everywhere in tho
soil and may rest on the surface OF the
human body or be taken into the stomach
without producing injury. Even on the
surface Of an open wound IL cannot devel-
op, il being one of the bacteria that cam
not grow In the presence OF free oxygen.
But If introduced into deeper wound
away from the air it may develop rapidly
and produce the painful and often fatal
disease tetanus Thus is explained the
fact, always before mystery. that even
slight and seemingly Insignificant pune
ture wounds are moro likely to produce
this disease than are open LESSONS that
otherwise are far more serious.
II ia an interesting and highly suggest
i've fact, as showing the power OF resist.
ance of the human body under Dormal
conditions. that bacterium capable Of
producing such disease as this may DO
SO abundant all about us and yet so infre-
quently find opportunity for malignant ac-
tivity. But the same thing appears to bo
true In greater or less degree OF all the
other bacteria that may develop In the hui
man body. Even when introduced into tho
body they are harmless, unless they ind
the conditions there favorable to their de-
yelopment. Thus there are probably very
few persons who have not at one time or
another inhaled the bacillus OF tuberculo-
sis or its spores, but the lungs OF only tho
relatively few furnish favorable soil for
its development. These susceptible per-
sons develop the disease. The Others are
said 70 be immune az regards this partic-
ular bacillus. But susceptibility and i'm.
munity are relative terms, and person
whose tissues at ona time resist the mi
crobe may at another time succumb TO 1t.
The exact nature of the inherent vital-
ity" which we arc accustomed to speak OF
as giving the tissues power to resist the
micro-organisms we understand a. littlo
as our ANCESTORS understood the real cause
Of the Contagious diseases. Perhaps the
microscope will help 20 enlighten US in
this regard 10 tho next half Century

CHICAGO, ILL, March 6.-There was

per,enced disappointment. At the open

declined TO the closing figures of yester-
day. Then came BradStreets report Of
