MICROBES IN CLOTH.

Germs and Bacilli Have Been Found In
New Stockings and Gloves
"Microbia," or the science Of mi
crobes, is becoming more and more an
exact study, and theories which lacked
confirmation few short months ago
have now become medical facts. Per-
haps, says the New York World, the
latest discovery in the realm of bacteri-
ology is regarding the enormous guam
tity Of bacilli that are to be found in
cotton and wooden clothes. Herr Seitz,
a savant and physician of Munich, has
recently made a series of careful in
vestigations of bits Of cotton and
wooden goods, and the result Of the re-
searches, as he gives it out, contains
Information that is startling and
worthy of careful attention.
Herr Seitz's experimenting has been
done with pieces of cloth about one
eighth of an inch across. In the aver
age bit of wooden goods of this size he
discovered nine hundred and fifty-six
microbes The pieces examined were
cut from wooden stocking. In a
piece of like size cut from a cotton
stocking he found an average yield OF
seven hundred and twelve microbes.
These bits of cloth had all been worn.
But Herr Seitz's experiment did not
stop here. He carefully tested bits Of
a glove that was quite new and fresh,
and had never yet been upon any hand.
In that thirty-three microbes were dis
covered on the average, all the pieces
examined having been of the above
size. Other experiments quite as In
teresting this German physician made,
with the result of formally establishing
the theory that microbes exist to a
greater or less extent in all wearing
apparel.
1t must not be supposed, however
Herr seitz contends, that all the vari
cites of bacilli found in clothing are
breeders of dangerous diseases. Some
of them have been proved by science tc
be quite harmless, but the mere fac
that microbes can and do exist il
clothes, and grow fruitful and multipl,
there, is an alarming one. With thi
theory made into fact, the peculia
spreading of contagious diseases can b.
traced much more easily and precau
tions more readily taken. Accepting
the fact that nearly all clothing is tn
seat of some type of bacilli, it is no
difficult to see how certain sporadic dis
eases spring up.
One especially valuable bit of med
cal data has come to light through thes
experiments, and that is to the effee
that the bacilli of typhoid fever can b
preserved in wool, under ordinary col
. ditions, for twenty-five days. A vlgo
GUS application of this knowledge ma
, do much to ward off typhoid fever
/ future.

snakes rattoo.d by Sailors.

The sailors of the Gulf of Mexico and
the equatorial regions of the Atlantic
ocean amuse themselves, and also turn
an occasional honest penny, by captur-
ing both large and small snakes of the
variety known as the lemon boa and
covering their bodies with tattooed let
tiers and designs. One of these living
manuscripts was recently exhibited at
Egyptian hall, London. Thousands of
these tattoocd snakes are annually dis
posed of at Rio de Janciro The buyers
generally kill these snakes and either
skin them or preserve the entire reptile
in alcohol. Such specimens are highly
priced by both European and North
American collectors Of curiosities.

GOOD INVITATIONS OF AMBER.
Only Experts Can Detect Them from the
Real Article.

Real Article.
When a man buys pipe or cigar
holder with mouthpiece, which the
dealer declares is amber, the chances
are ten to one that the purchaser is being
deceived. This assertion may seem hard
upon the seller, but SO clever are the
limitations of amber now IN the market
that dealers need have little fear in
selling them, as none but an expert can
tell the false from the real. Celluloid
and amberine are the cheapest OF the
limitations, says the New York Press,
and no dealer would think of recon-
mending them as amber to anyone who
appeared to know much about what he
wanted. But with amberoid it is diff
ferent matter, for, as this substance is
made from the amber itself, there is no
perceptible difference in its appearance
or properties This is made from small
bits of amber ground fine and COM
pressed by hydraulic power. The proc
ess is secret possessed only by few
manufacturers in Vienna. All the long
stems of clear, beautiful amber,
which give a meerschaum or briar 80
fancy price, are made of amberoid,
excepting, perhaps, pipes of the highest
value. The belief that the sure test OF
amber is that it will pick up paper has
deceived many people, for amberoid
will do the same thing, as will amber
inc, which is still cheaper compost
ton made in England. Experts tel
celluloid at glance, but anyone may
distinguish it by it's smell Of camphor
which enters largely into its compost
ton. Most of the amber sold comes
from along the Black sea in Turke.

POP EIG-PipE.
ne queer WIN of n Famous Dutch smoker
Who Died mt Ninetv-F,rht

w" Dien at Ninety-Eight.
In its discussion of the question
whether it is injurious to smoke to-
oacco, the Cleveland Plain Dealer re-
calls the history of Mynheer Van Naes,
famous old merchant in Holland, who
was such an, inveterate smoker that he
was nicknaned Pop Big-Pipe." He
made large fortune in the India trads,
and builta mansion near Rotterdam, in
which he collected every Imaginable
kind of pipe. 1t was said that he
smoked one hundred and fifty grammes
OF tobacco every day, and died at the
age OF ninety-eight years. In making
his will, after bequeathing to his rela-
tives, friends and charities large pro-
portion of his estate, he added the fol-
lowing clause:
II wish every smoker in the kingdom
TO be invited to my funeral in every
way possible, by letter, circular and
advertisement. Every smoker who
takes advantage of the invitation shall
receive as present ten pounds of to-
bacco and two pipes on which shall be
engraved my name, my crest, and the
date of my birth. The. poor of the
neighborhood who accompany my bier
shall receive every year on the anniver-
sary of my death large package of to-
bacco. l make the condition that all
those who assist at my funeral, if they
wish to partalSe of the benefits of my
will, must smoke without interruption
during the entire ceremony. My body
shall be placed in coffin lined through.
out with the wood of my old Havana
cigar boxes. At the foot of the coffin
shall be placed box of the French to
bacco called 'Caporal' and package o.
our old Dutch tobacco. At my side
place my faverite pipe and box o.
matches, for one never knows wha'
may happen. When the bier rests il
the vault all the persons in the funera
procession are requested to cast upon i
the ashes of their pipes as they pass i
on their departure from the grounds.
1t is said that Van Klaes, on the da,
that he made this eccentric will, sum
moned notary, who was also notable
smoker and said to him: Fill my pip
and yours. l am going to die" III
then dictated the will and died.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New
York. Aug. 12.-William Jennings Bry-
an and Arthur Sewall were formally
notified tonight that they were the
choice of the Democratic party for the
highest Offices in the gift of the people
81 the United States.
Whatever might be the political in
clinations of any person who attended
this grand ratification of the Democ-

Garden. he must have been permeated
with the blindest prejudice not to have
been thrilled by the excitement and the
enthusiasm which prevailed during the
entire time the notification ceremonies
lasted. The presence of so stupendous
crowd of human beings was in itself
an eloquent tribute to the Importance
attached TO the occasion.

Outside the garden the widest ex-
element had been prevailing.
sAe 6o'clock Inspector Cartright, who
had been placed in charge of the po-
lice arrangements, established his post
at the corner of Madison avenue and
Twenty-sixth street, and began the
work of detailing his assistants and
their commands. In a very short time
a, perfect Gordon of police had been
perfected on the four sides Of the
buildings, and no one was permitted to
cross the line until the time advertised
for the opening of the doors. Over
1000 policemen were stationed in and
about the hall
At z o'clock the doors were thrown
open. and despite the efforts of the po-
lice to restrain them. the crowds on
every side made desperate rushes for
the entrances.
A Wild scene of turmoil erBued. Men,
women and policemen were jumbled to-
gerher in an lndaScrTm1nate mob. Men
tore each others and their own cloth

adrnittance, and matters looked seri-
