Waycross, Ca, Oct. 6.-The right of

Without bacteria there is no decompo-

with it, consequently we are living In an
atmosphere of decomposition.
The air which we breathe contains bac-
terra, few If II is quiet, fewer still If in
the open country, while in a dusty city
street there may be extraordinary differ
ences in numbers.
The air is tested roughly by coating ster-
lie plates of glass with gelatine and ex-
posing them for a given time in the To-
cality to be examined and afterwards de-
velOping the catch
Many micro-organisms cannot thrive at
the temperature of the body They require
a lower temperature, while for others the
warmth of the body is just suited.
Wherever people congregate the air be-

The mouth. the almentary and respira-
tory tracts and the pores of the skin are
all In direct communication with the space
outside, and from a meteorological point
of view they represent simply the outer
world
We cannot possibly prevent bacteria
from entering the body.
Saliva contains them, often in great num-
bers, and the nose larynx trachea, bronchi
and their ramihcations and the air spaces
of the lungs all contain thriving colonies
In normal respiration the air enters the
nose and 1t is important that it should do
so as it is provided with a bacterial filter
which Is capable Of retaining from three
fourth to four-fifths of the bacteria in the
inspired air.
The air which we breathe contains both
organisms which are capable of producing
disease and organisms which are harmless

The resistance OF our tissues in health
and the absence Of predisposing influences
prevent the pathogenic organisms present
from doing more than leading a harmless
or saprophytic existence
The coccus Of pneumonia Is often
found on the mucous membrane, but in
disease 1t assumes a virulent character,
invades the lung tissues, and in some
cases the circulation
AS We live among bacteria and decom-

inhaled, but, unless the system is weak

ference, there is slight danger of infec-

GREAT BRITAIN SAYS NAY.

CONFERENCE WITH RUSSIA.

Are Not SO Interested in the Berina

United States Alone.
London, Oct 6.-The officials of the
British foreign Office have communicated
to the United States ambassador, Col.
John Hay. the final decision that the
government of Great Britain must refuse
to take part in any sealing conference
with representatives of Russia and Japan.
The British government however, assert
it's willingness to confer with the United
States alone, but it insists that Russia
and Japan are not interested in the Ber-
ing sea seals to a degree emitting them
to representation at the conference. The
British government does not suggest any
date for a conference with the United
States, and it is thought probable in
London that Great Britain's withdrawal
will result in two meetings, one between
the United States, Russia and Japan and
the other between the United States and
Great Britain and Canada 1t cannot be
too strongly reiterated that the with
drawal of Great Britain from the Wash

sisteuce, and that until the Canadian Of
1cials informed the foreign Office here of
Canadas objection to meeting Russia and
Japan, out of fear of being out-voted,
Great Britain fully intended to enter the
conference

Department Called out ut O'Clock

An alarm Of fire was turned in at .
o'clock this morning from box No. 43. at
East Broad and Gwinnett streets. The fire
was at the planning mills Of the Savannah
Lumber Company at No us Gwinuett
street Just across the railroad tracks of
the Plant system.
When the department arrived flames
were issuing from the shed containing
the machinery of the min, and also from
the engine room. Considerable lumber
lying around near the buildings was also
ablaze.
The apparatus from Nos. and 5. on
Henry and Barnard streets respectively
answered the alarm, and did good work
IN stopping the contagration. The shed
covering the machinery was badly damag-
ed, as was also lot Of lumber, though
neither were completely destroyed The
engine room was pretty well consumed
The material was dry, and, as the flames
had good Roadway, rapid work was re-
quired by the tremen TO prevent the fire.

GRUESOME FIND IN THE BUSH.
Discovery of a Dead Body Clears
Away n Mystery.

y
Away n Mystery.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-The dead body of
Tom Gray, notorious negro, known as
Alabama" on account of serving a term
in the penitentiary of that state, was
found in a ditch covered by a clump of
shrubbery on the lot of st. Phillips
church, opposite to the state capitol, this
afternoon. This negro had probably been
dead since Monday and the body was in
a partly decomposed condition. His death
was caused by pistol shot wound in the
breast, though he was very badly cut in
several places, and another bullet was To-
Gated in his side.
The discovery of the body clears up the
mystery surrounding the attempt to bur
glarize the retail dry goods store of the
Chamberlin-Johnson Company last Sun
day morning.
A little past midnight the policeman on
the Whitehall street beat, in which the
store is located, found that some one had
entered through window. He calico
for assistance and summoned the propri-
etOrs A search was then made and one
of the policemen came upon the burglar
secreted in corner He had taken off
his shoes, so as to make his way about
the store unheard, and when he realized
that he was discovered, he threw his
shoes through a plate-glass transom and
leaped through after them In the leap
he was cut so that as he fed, he left a
trail of blood behind. Several pistol
shots were sent after him, and chase was
given, but the man. who at the time was
not known to be white or black
escaped. He was traced by the
bloody trail to a side street leading off at
the south side of the capitol, but there the
trail was lost 1t was thought that hack
was In waiting for him and that he drove
away from that point and this led the au-
thorities and the proprietors of the store
to believe that the thief was not an or
binary one but that when caught he
would prove to be big game. The detec-
tive department had been working upon
the case looking for big game" until
the negroes body was found to-day
by the coachman of Rev. Albion Knight,
rector of st. Phillips church. The place
where he was secreted himself and where
he died of his injuries was near where
the bloody trail was lost, and there is
no doubt that the negro is the burglar, as
he was without shoes and those found at
the store fitted his feet perfectly. His
hat which he dropped in his flight, was
also Identified.

PENAL ISLAND PLAN NO GO.
Sea Island Cotton Growers Raise
Opposition.


Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 6.-fn discussing the
penitentiary problem to-day Gov Atkin-
son said that there is considerable oppo-
sition being manifested TO the proposed
penal island plan, and as a result Mr.
Hewlett Hall, author of the bill now be-
fore the Subcommittee, VIII probably
move to have that feature entirely elimi-
mated when the committees meet here
again on Friday.
This opposition, il is stated, comes from
the sea island cotton growers of this state
who fear that if an island colony should
be established, their business would be
seriously injured by competition, in the
growing of the long staple. The annual
crop OF sea island cotton is only about a
quarter of a million bales, the governor
thinks probably less. If the states con-
vcts were put to work raising the long
staple he estimates that they would raise
a least 100000 bales, adding this amount
to the regular crop and reducing the price
accordingly. Sea island cotton, the COVER
nor says. is the only crop that the convicts
could be proftably worked at upon an is
land and the farmers know this What
ever is said before hand about growing
other crops they realize that in the end d
penal island colony means long staple cot
ton cultivation almost exclusively, and
hence they are beginning to raise their
voices against such a plan. 1t was ex-
pected that South Georgia would support
the penal island plan, but since opposition
in centralzlng there, Gov. Atkinson
thinks that scheme will be counted out of
the deal

The general opinion of the public was
also that Mccullough had little to hope
