ANTIToXIN OF DIPHTHERIA.
Can 1t Be Prepared without First
InOculatiny Animals?

NeU York Tribune.
II is now nearly two years since the
world became familiar with the antitoxin''
method Of treating dipbtheria, and in the
interval the substantial seccess OF that
discovery has been fully established. Re-
gently, however there has been a claim
advanced that the preventive and curative
agent in question can be prepared in u
quicker and better way than that en-
ployed by Prof. Behring. The original
plan was to take a healthy horse or guinea
pig and render it proof against diphtberia
by injecting into its veins, day after
day, for several weeks, minute, but gradu-
iliy increasing quantities OF the toxin, or
poison, OF the disease. The animal was
then said to be immune or safe
If it should thereafter he inoculated with
dose that would kill any other horse or
guinea pig, it would survive Now, if the
serum, or liquid part of the blood of an
animal which had been linn uniZed'' were
introduced into the veins of human pa
tient, the latter would he proof against
diphtheria. This serum, or protective fluid,
Is called antitoxin.'
Several Russian and French physicians,
Dotaby Drs. Smirnow, d. Arsonyal and
CharvID. have been trying to change toxin
Into antitoxin without using incubation
or animals. They simply drive an electric
current through liquid preparation OF the
poison. The solution must be OF certain
strength and should contain a given por-
ton of common salt, which IS known to
chemists as chloride of sodium. A current
is sent through the fluid by means of carbon
electrodes immersed therein. The account

..Pat,, Lowered His voice.

Father O'Halloran had a telephone
put into the parsonage in connection
with the church and the parochial
school. Patrick McFee, his reverence
handy man, was instructed in the use
Of the instrument, and it was only the
next day, when Pat, busting out the
church, heard the ringing of the tele-
phone bell. Taking down the receiver,
Patrick was pleased to hear Father
O 'Halloran's familiar voice asking him
something or other about his work In
essaying to answer he remembered
that his reverence was long way off,
and therefore he shouted into the trans
mitter at the top of his voice
Il don't understand you, Patrick, y
said the telephone.
Patrick tried again with no better
success. On his third trial he came
near splitting the telephone, but again
came Father O'Halloran's voice, Il
can't hear what you are saying, Pat

Pat had by this time lost something
of his patience, and as he stood gather
ing his breath for a fourth blast, he
couldn't refrain from soliloquizing in a
low tone: "Ah, may the divil fly away

SUCCESSION OF CONCLUSIONS.
That is What is the Trouble With
California Development.
(From the San Bernardino Sum-

(From the San Bernardino Sum-
On the street, here and there, the
Sun" has been dubbed a Southern
Pacific Organ This because it has
not fallen in with the Systematically
worked up clamor against funding the
Central Pacific Railroad debt and in
favor of foreclosure and Government
ownership. This is a business PROPOSE
ton, affecting the welfare of the Gov
ernment, and of all our people, upon
which newspapers and individual citi-
zens should be allowed to differ with
out imputations on their motives. Such
imputations because of such differences
are not indulged in by gentlemen, nor
by good citizens.
But apart from this question of re-
funding or foreclosing the Sun is
friendly to the Southern Pacific, the
Santa F'e, the San Joaquin Valley road,
and of all enterprises which tend to
build up this State and increase it's
prosperity, whether it be a railroad, a
navigation line, a sugar factory,
quartz mill, an electric plant, a cream.
cry or an incubator of little yellow
legged chickens. And when any enter
prise is inaugurated which promises to
improve the comfort or convenience of
our people, the Sun" wants to see that
enterprise and the men who inaugu-
rated it prosper. And the very highest
degree of prosperity that will ever be
vouchsafed to all the people of this
State will be when all Of us acquire
that feeling, and when the managers
and patrons of old and new enterprises
shall mutually be glad to see each other
prosper.
Ever since this State emerged from
its condition Of mule-team and OK
team isolation, with hay and barley as
its chief agricultural reliance, and
joined in the march of modern pro-
gress, it has been cursed with a tribe
of chronic muliygrubbers who have
been subject to a succession of convul-
sions when anybody made anything,
or had a prospect of making anything
out of an enterprise, no matter at what
hazardous risk it had been undertaken.
They are the loudest in appealing to
capital to develop the resources of
the State. They get down on their
knees; whine, plead, and promise any
thing and everything. Then, when
capital" yields to their entreaties, fur
nishes the conveniences they called for,
and perhaps increases the value of their
property ten, fifty or an hundred fold,
they howl, and howl, and howl. and
howl if capital gets any return
The Sun" is not one of those howl
ers. 1t has nothing but contempt for
them. 1t would sooner be the organ"
of a ''yallar dog factory than the
mouthpiece of such howlers or a truck
Ter for their applause or favor. The
Sun" however, is the organ of nobody
but its publishers. And it's columns
are thrown open to temperate and de-
corous discussion of this or any other
subject of public interest by those hold
ing different opinions from those edi-
torially expressed in these columns.
But clamor doesn't count
