A New scisntific Discovery and Bow is Ex-

A New scientific Discovery and Wow is Ex-
piatned a stamp Collectors Sickness
According TO the latest stories of
medical science, the power OF the MI
crobe Is daily becoming greater and
creator, SAYS the New York World. At
first the item went around that the
bacillus OF disease lurked in the kiss;
then that inlnitesinal thousands of
hacilli were bidder within the dirt in
cfusting the dollar bill. Lastly, IL has
come to be known that an almost equal
danger, medically, lies in the pages OF
old books. far more wonderful phase
OF microbia, though. is told in tho re-
cent discovery OF a French physician.
This Is that the innocent-appearing
and clearly looking postage stamp is
vehicle that cannot be surpassed as
transmittcr. Ninety-nine out OF every
postage stamps are fastened on their
envelopes after being well ruoistened
with the tongue. Saliva, as Is well
known, is almost invariably, If not en-
tirely so, the headquarters, as IL were,
81 the disease bacilli that infest any one
person. Upon the sticking on of each
postage stamp literally thousands OF
these are carried away adhering to the
gum and many IL Is assured, find their
way ia the course Of handling directly
into other organisms
OF course the danger most likely
comes 10 the man or woman who re-
ccives the letter, particularly II he or
she be stamp collector. Following
out this French theory an interesting
table OF statistics might be made upon
the prevalence Of contagious diseases

FOUR HUMAN SKULLS.
They Are Discovered in an Onyx
Cave In Ohio.

While exploring an onyx cave
near this place party of hunters
unearthed four human skulls. 1t
was supposed at first that they
were the remains of Indians, but
the ub-equent discovery of se,-
eral pieces of pottery and crude
instruments of war, which it is
known were not the handiwork of
Indians, leaves no doubt that they
we're the bones of some prehis-
toric race, probably the mound
builders. The skulls were sent
to the Smithsonian Institution at

alton.

tie will be done at the present sas-
sion of Congress beyond passing

of the BULLETIN will have forgot
ten what the Diugley bill pro
vides. Now that there is pros
pect OF its passage summary of
it's provisions seems desirable. 1t
is temporary revenue bill. 1t
would expire by its own terms on
August l, 1898. What revenue it
would yield it il difficult to say.
Mr.. Dingley expected $4,000, 600
increase from it; treasury experts
put the gain at a lower figure.
1t takes wool of all kinds Of the

duty on wooden goods it makes a
like addition. 1t does precisely
the same for lumber in all forms.
