A Medical Expert on the Dangers of Con.
taEion From the Disease.
Knowing that there are more
cases of pulmonary consumption at
Colorado Springs in proportion to
its population than in any other city
or town in the United States, and
perhaps in the world, I wrote some
time ago for information to DR.. 8.
E. Solly of that city, well known as
a writer on consumption and china
tology, and whose experience in the
treatment of that disease has been
large and extends over a period Of
many years. In reply I received the
following:
1.-THE dangers Of contagion from
a consumptive are SO easily control
led that it is by no means necessary
to separate consumptives from
healthy persons. You ask me con-
corning my experience here. AT
least a third Of population are
consumptives. The town, which con-
tains some IL, 900 people, has been
established 20 years. An inquiry
made by disinterested physicians in
to the number of cases Of consump-
ton that were known to have origi-
mated in the town resulted in a re-
port Of 20 in all. Although it is
probable that our brilliant sunshine
and dry air more quickly destroy
the vitality of the bacilli than your
eastern atmosphere, yet in the poor
or lodging houses Of the town there
n many Ill ventilated rooms, in
side or on the north side of the
building, inhabited by consumptives
and their families, where reckless
ness Of expectoration and careless
ness Of ordinary cleanliness are
marked features of their domestic
menage, yet cases Of contagion do
not average more than n a year"
At Colorado Springs the consump-
tives mingle with the other resi-.
dents of the city on all occasions
at church service, theater, concerts
and in the overheated and crowded
rooms of private residences during
social functions. They reside in the
same hotels, boarding houses and
private dwellings with those not af-
Hicted' with the disease, and no at
tempt at isolation has been made.
Notwithstanding this apparent in
difference IN the part Of the local
authorities to the contagiousness Of
the disease only 20 cases have origi-
mated in Colorado Springs in 20
years.
At Davos Platz, in Switzerland,
where I spent a winter a few years
ago, a very large number Of con-
sumptives were staying. The hotels
were crowded, and of the !, 500
strangers in the village about ], 900
were consumptives. AT the hotel at
which I staid there were about 120
guests, about 80 Of whom were on
sumptiyes: At Davos, during the
winter, the invalid's day for outing
Is limited to AZ hours. The remain
defof the "a hours is spent wi,
doors. No one stood in dread of con-
tracing the disease, and no cases
occurred in which it was conveyed
from person to person. No special
precautions were taken by the ply
sicians and local authorities to pre-
vent %contagion other than good ven-
tilation of the living and bedrooms.
As in Colorado Springs, no cases of
the disease originated at Davos.-

California Pearls.

The pearl fisheries of the gulf of
California have been enormously
valuable. In 1890 a large number Of
pearls were collected for q collar.
This eventually came into the pos
session Of the queen Of Spain and is
one Of the most valuable Of the
crown jewels. A brown pearl worth
%, 600, a black one valued at SO, 900
and an exquisitely lustrous one
which was sold in Paris for nearly
90, 600 have been taken from these
beds. Black pearls are exceedingly
popular In Europe, and nearly all
Of this sort that + found in Cali
fornia are sent over to the European
erket. The Mexican government
trolls the fisheries, and the bust
put into the hands OF a San
: company. About 400 men
Eyed, and the oysters, after
fled from the rocks, are put
shooners and taken to a place
wn.ce there are inspectors, under
whose charge they are all opened.
Pearl fishing is rather uncertain
business, as one may open thou
sands Of oysters without finding
anything worth while. Again. in a
few moments thousands of dollars
may be realized. New York Ledger.

THE GUARD AMUSED HIM.

THE GUARD AMUSED HIM.
And He Took . Constitutional Way Of
Saying So.
Palpably the big guard with the
blue black whiskers was ratified. Az
the train hurried over the stills and
slowed up beside the elevated sta
ton at Blocker street he opened the
door and shouted in:
Blocker strateI'
The red faced passenger who had
got on at Grand street Uttered audi.
bly,, and the guard slammed the
door hard behind him and went in
the adjoining car.
The train made the curve through
West Third street and a moment
later swept into Sixth avenue and
Eighth street.
"Ate stratel" yelled the guard
briekly, pulling the door open.
He, he, her, chuckled the red
faced man, and the fat passenger
near by him smiled with him. The
guard looked surprised as he shut
the gates.
Two minutes later at Fourteenth
street he swung them back and
shouted "Fordeen strate!' into both
doors. He did not get out Of the car
quick enough to escape a peal Of
merriment.
"Ha, ha, ha, hat" 1t was the
voice Of the red faced man, laugh
Ing heartily. This time all the car
was smiling with him.
It was noticed that the blue black
whiskers were agitated when the
guard went back to his platform.
He might have been saying things
under his breath.
Hi face was sulky, and when the
train slowed up again he came bold
ly into the car, and, glaring at the
dimpling countenance Of the red
faced man, he remarked:
Alden st~ratel'
"Ah, ha. ha, hal" was the hyster-
ical rejoinder.
The guard said something that
sounded like lift" as he stalked off.
The red faced man dimpled over and
watched the door expectantly.
"B-z-zrz-rd stratel' shouted the
guard wrathfully and incoherently.
"Ah, ha, ha, hal Oh, no, no, no,
he, he, he, hei"
The red faced passenger had burst
all bounds. He was paroxysmally
amused. The indignant guard dou-
bled up his fists.
You old fool he began.
"Wow-e-e-el" interrupted the red
faced man In another spasm of
mirth.
"Durn your facet" continued the
blue black whiskers, with great ear
nestness.
"Te, he, he, he, her. added the
red faced man in the dying throes
Of the spasm.
The big guard walked away,
| opcoCuAcS6.
Thereafter at each station he on
ly thrust his head in the door, shout
ed out the street and then returned
to the platform, where he glowered
amid the falling flakes.
At Seventy second street the red
faced man was fast asleep. Half an
hour later, when only a few of the
passengers were left in the car, the
big guard gave him a tremendous
Jolt as he slept peacefully in his seat

When the red faced man would
have demurred, the guard seized
him by the shoulders and trundled
him down the aisle and out, in 6
trice.

Something practical in the way Of

the use Of water gas ought to come
out of Professor Woods suggestion
that methods should be adopted In
tho manufacture of the gas to make
1t more powerfully odorous without
detracting from its value as an iuu-

is that it furnishes no distinct warn

gas does. -Boston Herald.
