ANTIQUITY OF 1HE MEASLES
s,ople IN All Times Have Suffered From
This Disease.

W course every one thinks he knows
what measles Is ard yet very few really
Know more about the ailmcut than the
Tact that Ii Isl contagious disease. char.
scterl2ed hy sore eyes, sore nose. sore
threat ard an eruption Of the skin.
lie disease is enc Of great antiduity,
dating as far hack as A. d. 900. At
that time, however. it was COMPOUNDED
with smallpox and scarlet fever. BY
many observers smallpox and measles
were always regarded as one and tho
same disease. differing only in degree
Inns instrumentation was not dispelled
Until 1870, when Sydenham, an Eng
llsh physician, declared that they Were
Instinct diseases
Atcut the origin Of measles little is
Known. AT the present day the disease
Is fGLEd all over the civilized world 1t
IS nct known In uucINilized countries
IL has always been claimed that the dis
ease WIS due to specific poison, but
the nature vi 1t was not known. Quite
recently. however. European bacteri-
ologlst named Czaj ikOwshi reported that
he had found Il micro organism in the
blood Of Il person suffering from mca-
slcs, which lac believed To BE- the cause
Of the disease. Measles is unlike seine
ether contagious diseases, i'll that it Is,
70 rcSp2ctcr OF persons or places. Il al
fccts all sorts and conditions of rcopic.
What better illustration Of this is need
ed than the present ease i'll the first
household OF the land: The disease is
one Of the most highly contagious all
tnents known. 1t is far more contagious
than smallpox, but the poison of mea-
sles contains much less vitality than
that Of the latter. The poison of measles
exits III the breath. the blood, the tears
and i'll the secretions from the nose and
throat.
Although tie disease is usually
classeG as one of Childhood, adults
sometimes suffer from it. The adult
Eases are usually the more severe In
fants under q months are generally con
sidered exempt from tie disease, IL
though there are exceptions to the rule.
Measles is generally looked upon as a
necessary evil of childhood and one that
deserves but little attention. In a SIM
pie case that may be all we'll enough,
but there are usually other contingent
clcs, and some of these should be guard
ed against. In almost every case the
eyes become infiamed and call for at
tcntIon. There is usually bronchitis,
which, If left uncarcd for, may be fol-
loved by pneumonia and fatal termina-
tion. francisco Chronicle.

Alumina Production.

The process brought forward by Hci
bling for the production of alumina frora
clay. SO as to be absolutely free from:
silica. Is described in Complies Rendus
as very simple. The clay is thoroughly
incorporated with mixture i'll equal
parts OF ammonia and potassium sui
pilates, i'll such proportion that three
molecules of ammonium sulphate may
he present to every molecule of alumina
and the mixture is made into hollow
bricks, which are then heated in an
oven at go degrees to $50 degrees {.
AT this temperature both gaseous am.
monia and acid ammonium sulphate
are given off, which Immediately reacts
with the potash salt present. acid potas-
STUN sulphate being formed, the latter.
at the above temperature, combining
with the alumina of the clay to form
alum, and this is finally extracted from
the bricks by means of water and freeo
from iron by disqualification. the in
soluble silica remaining behind being
useful Ill cements. Granular alumina is
prepared by spreading out the powdered
alum in 4 thin layer on shelves arranged
in 4 vertical tower, which is traversed
by the warm, moist, ainmoniacal fumes
derived from the brick oven. As the re-
suit of this simple and ingenious method
the alum is transformed into alumina
retaining the form of the original pow.

City Dogs and Country Dogs.

There Is marked difference between
city and country dogs. A city dog turned
loose IN pasture lot mopes along, pay
ing no attention to the birds and other
animals around it, but country dog
turned free in city street, after the
temporary embarrassment which coun-
tritied folks always feel, observes the
sparrows to be unusually tame and nu-
merous. Then comes a round of spor,
that makes the country dog feel itself
very much at home. The country dog
delights in chasing small birds and the
city dog doesn't, but after a few hours
racing the dogs feet would be as sore
as any clodhopper's that walked the
stones for any length of time, especially
on hot day.-New York sun.
