Vitality of Microbes.

In France it has been observed that
germs of Charlton persist in the soils,
where animals dying of that malady
have been buried, for many years. The
burial of one hog that has died from the
cholera may cause the disease to appear
in swine which may be pastured in the
same inclosure during coming seasons.
All infected carcasses should be Gre
mated. The microbe of tetanus, small
pox, yellow fever, bubonic plague and
some other infectious diseases retain
their vitality in the soil.

1t Causes Cancer of the Lips and
Other Serious Ailments.
While many surgeons deny the exist
ence of smokers cancer" others indi-
cate tobacco as the cause of cancer of
the lips and nasal fossae. The disease
from this cause is said to be lobulated
epithelioma, sometimes composed of
mucous and sometimes of horny tissue.
1t shows particularly among smokers
who pay no attention to the cleaning
of the mouth, who smoke short clay
pipes to the bottom and who use an
inferior quality of tobacco. The under
lip or parto the tongue most in contact
With the overheaSed stem of the pipe
Is most frequently attacked. These
neoplasms grow in the base Of the
tongue and on the tonsils OF those who
have lost their teeth and who hold the
pipe deep in the mouth. The weight
of the pipe is a source of irritation, and
the cancer is found on the side where
the pipe is held. Contagion from two
men using the same pipe may result.
When an early operation is performed
on cancroids situated on the lip the
prognosis may be favorable, but the
reverse is the case when the tonsils or
tongue is attacked. Smokers should
use pipe with an amber mouthpiece,
and it should never be smoked to the
bottom. Acrid tobacco should be
avoided.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Field Mice Transmit Pollen.

1t has long been known that the min
istrations of insects are indispensable
to the fertilization of some flowers, by
rubbing pollen from the anthers in one
place and carrying it to the pistil in an
other. Now we are told that in the
island of Trinidad the pollenation of
the bauhinia megalandra, of the fam
Ely leguminosae, is effected by a field
mouse. 1t feeds off insects attracted
by the sugary juice of the plant, and in
rubbing against the stamens becomes
covered with the pollen, which, trans
ported to the other flowers, succeeds in
penetrating the style. ESQ

though not a tall man, he is of sturdy

In the Karnice system of interment
it is proposed to provide the coffin with
small circular opening in the top, just
above the chest of its occupant. A
metal lid is kept in place over this hole
by means of a spring. At the cemetery,
just before throwing earth into the
grave, an undertaker's assistant raises
the lid and adjusts to the opening in the
coffin the lower end of an upright tube,
which terminates at the level of the
earth above in a tightly closed box.
There protrudes through the tube be-
low a small glass bulb which just
touches the breast of the inclosed body.
If, now, the latter should make any
movement, as in respiration, slight
pressure would be exerted upon the
bulb, and this contact would immedi-
ately produce several results at the sur

PREMATURE INTERMENT
Count Karnice's System Would
Render It Impossible.
slightest Respiration Would Throw
Back the Lid of the Coffin and
Cause a Loud Electric Gong
to BE Rung.

A certain Russian, Count Karnice,
went through a painful and unusual
experience several years ago. A young
daughter, to whom he was devotedly at
tached, had apparently succumbed to
some serious malady, and was about to
be buried. Just at the moment when
the first clods of earth fell upon her
coffin, so the story goes, she betrayed
signs of life; in precisely what manner
the public is not informed. Instantly
the work of interment was interrupted,
and the prompt measures which were
taken for the resuscitation of the girl
proved successful. As can be readily
imagined, this incident produced pro-
found impression upon the affectionate
father; and it may well be believed that
thereafter he had but one fixed idea i'm
Iife-the invention of such a system of
sepulcher as would preclude not only
the possibility of such am unhappy mis-
take in other cases, but would render
untenable even suspicion that blum
der had been committed.
1t ought to be remembered, in spite
of all which has been written on the
subject of premature burial, that the
best medical authorities pronounce
popular anxiety on this subject ground
less. They say, with a positiveness
which ought to command general con-
fidence, that the scientific tests of
death ere too numerous and too certain
in their indications to leave any room
for doubt, when competent physician
has once given his verdict. The chance
of anyone being buried alive, in any
civilized community where there has
been proper attendance of the sick, is
to-day so exceedingly remote as to
amount to an impossibility. However
interested one may be in the awful or
deal to which Count Karnice was sub
iected, and in the result of the studies
into which it naturally led him, there

the organization will have considerable
support in the silver states and territories,
but whether this following will be strong
enough to outbalance the adherents of the
st. Louis platform is a question that the
future alone can decide. One thing is
certain, it is infinitely better to make
provision in new party for Disconnected
Republicans than to force them into
utilization with the Democrats or Popu-

of investment is what we want, but it can

basic principle of our civilization, and
its elimination would mean degeneracy

The Rocky Mountain Coal Oil company

The Compilation of the Laws.

The bill providing for the com pilation
of the laws of New Mexico names as the
compilers Governor W. T. Thornton,
Judge A. B. Fall and Mr.. I. A. Finical,
with Representative Maximiliano Luna
as secretary and translator. The bill
calls for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the work of compiling and printing the
territorial statutes. No compilation has
taken place since 1884, and the statutes
of that date are scarce and hardly Obtain
able at any price in the territory. The
session laws since 1884 have almost en-
tirely disappeared. 1t is not possible
for the Justices of the peace throughout
the territory at present to provide them
selves with the territorial law, and they
are thus forced to administer the laws
without knowing what they are. These
are the reasons why the compilation
should be made. The law provides that
the laws shall be sold and the proceeds
turned into the territorial treasury, and
it is claimed by the advocates of the bill
that the sale of books will III few years
reimburse the territory for the expense
entailed by reason of the com pilation.-

the LATEST SILVER MOVE.

The talk which has been going on il
political circles for sometime, looking te
the formation of a national silver Repub
lican party, eliminated during the early
part of the week in an address issued al
Washington by silver Republican sena
tors and representatives, setting forth
their position in the matter of the new
party, and drawing the lines upon which
the proposed organization shall rest. II
is pointed out that there are good many
Republicans in the country, who will de.
sire to break away from the old party,
when they find that the long promised
prosperity has not come as result of
the election of Mr.. Mckinley.
These people, it is asserted, will not
care to affiliate with the Democrats, but
will quickly embrace an opportunity to
throw their support to silver Republi-
can party, should such party exist, at
the time of their determination to cut old
party lines. This is laid down as a
reason for the action of Republican sill
verite congressman, in calling into life a
new organization.
"The Silver Republicans" says this ad-
dress, "believe themselves to be in har.
mony with the original spirit of the old
Republican party and they claim prop
erty in its great name and glorious tradi-
tions justified by the splendid services
and sanctified by the sacred memories of
the time when that party embodied the
aspirations and spoke the purposes of
the great masses of the American people.
That party was born in answer to the cry
for champion of liberty. It's early
wordf we're words of comfort and assur.
ance to the oppressed. Its great Deeds
by which 1t will hereafter live in history
we're deeds of patriotism"
Then the address says:
"The silver Republicans can not forget
that history, but they can not today fol.
low those who have usurped the dominion
of that party into shameless absnd lon
ment Of American interests and the tyranny
of an alien money system"

There are nine organized companies of
militia in the territory, and they received
an appropriation the past year of about
$4,000 from the general government. The
bill which passed the council few days
ago, and which is now before the house
for action, makes small appropriation
for incidental expenses not provided for
