THEY DID NOT LIKE 1T.
Test of the New Disinfecting Ma
chine Not Satisfactory.

The disinfecung machine which was
given a test at the quarantine station yes
teIday in the presence Of the public health
committee Of council proved inadequate
to the demand and win not be recommend
ed for purchase by the committee.
II has been the desire Of the health off,
Ger 70 obtain machine for the quarantine
station which could be relied upon for it's
d.s.nfectng qualities. Such an adyan-
tage would be an inestmabIe Improvement
20 the equipment OF the station. and would
be a great saving Of time TO vessels which
are beng constantly held in detention.
Thinking he had found just such ma
chine as was needed DR.. LeHardy invited
the public health committee 10 accompany
him TO the station and witness the work
TO which il was 70 be put as a test.
Several objections were found by the
committee. and it was but a short time
until 1t was decided that they could not
consistently recommend its purchase. It
burns wood, alcohol and in order to do
the work OF disiufec-ion. mas TO be tightly
closed within the space which is being dis
infected in order 20 c0nfine the gases.
The chief objection found by the com
mittee was that the flames in the machine
were apt TO be extinguished,
and some time e.apse before
the fact was discovered, thus
creating long delays in the process. But a
saving Of tine was one of the very OBJ
jects which the committee was seeking to
attain.
There IS another machine. however.
which is now being successfully used at
the quarantine station near New York,
and which the health officer thinks would
be the thing for Savannah. With one
pound Of fJrmO choral il is guaranteed
10 disinfect from $50 TO 5000 cubic feet
of space. The long and successful service
which it has rendered at the New York
station satisfies the health officer that il
is an adequate machine. and he has al
ready requested Alderman Reid chair
man Of the harbor and wharves commit
tee, TO purchase one for the Savannah
station.
The health officer further states that
as a result Of his trip TO the station, he
finds a stringent necessity for additional
mooring posts. and will request permits
sion of the authorities to at once place
them along the wharf. He further states
in this connection. that he will ask per-
mission to discharge ballast within the
jetles near the station.
Alderman Reid went TO the station
principally for the purpose Of ascertain
ing the amount Of damage recently done
the wharf by the tug Dauntiess. It is re-
ported TO bee rather heavy. but as council
has already passed a resolution appropri-
ating sufficient money to repair this dam
age. il j. likely that the work will be
started early and pushed to an early
completion

COW FULL OF GAS.

Veterinary Surgeon Taps Her and Sets
Fire to Escaping Fluid.
A Jersey COW at Mount Vernon, n. Y,
ate too many green apples and con-
yerted herself into gas machine.
Veterinary Surgeon S. B. Marsh ran a
small tube through the cows side into
her stomach and put match to the ap-
pie gas as it escaped through the tube
with a whizzing sound. A blue fame
burned at the tubes end until all the
gas had escaped.
An hour afterward the animal, again
an. ordinary COW, and not gas gen.
orator, arose to her feet and walked of,
feeling much better.
This Jersey COW is owned by Daniel
Lawler, the poundmaster Of Mount Yer
non. When the veterinary surgeon was
called to attend her she was in great
agony.
He thrust into her stomach trocar
and canuha. Then he withdrew the
sharp pointed trocar and left in posi-
ton the canula, little tube. The apple
gas gushed out through the tube.
Il struck a match" said the veter-
mary surgeon, land placed it five inches
from the end of the tube. A blue flame
burned until the gas was exhausted"

FIGHT OVER sPARRows.

Interesting Controversy Over These
Birds at Paris.
A new kind of game is permissible In
the department. of the Seine this year,
owing to q recent circular of the pre-
feet of police, who has declared war
upon the sparrows. The sparrows, in
fact, have increased so fast in the neigh
borhood of Paris this year that their
destruction will mean the saving of
tens of thousands of francs to the SUBJ
urban market gardeners.
But there is pretty triangular fight
in prospect over the decree between
the police, the minister of agriculture
and the Society for the Protection Of
Animals. The latter has announced
through its president that it will en-
deavor to have the decree rescinded,
and NJ. Meline, who has tender heart
and is a protectionist where animals are
concerned, as well as on tariff ques-
lions, is known to be friendly to the
sparrows.
The action of the police was taken in
view of a vote of the municipal council
declaring the sparrow ito be a noxious
animal. This was based upon reports
from all the suburbs showing an ami
NAL damage lately of about $4,000 to
growing crops. The commune of CO.
Qombes, for instance, claims a loss OF
1920. Hence everybody will be Au-
thori0ed to kill sparrows.

Trader Vest Makes a Quick Trip Over
the Chilkat Pass.
Charles Vest, of Portland, Ore, was a
passenger on the schooner Fred E..
Sanders that arrived at Port Townsend,
Wash, from St. Michaels the other day.
BE came direct from Dawson City, where
he was engaged in the trading business.
On March last he left home with 1000
pounds of mixed merchandise. Vest
started out from Dyea with dogs and a
sled to cross the Chilkat pass. He ar
rived in Dawson City on May II and in
two weeks sold all his goods, and now
returns with profit of $4,000. He will
return at once with another load of
merchandise.
II consider that I made most re-
markable trip" said Vest. "The only
hard work 1 had was the pack for a
Hnarter of a mile over the pass. After
that I rugged up a big sail, and in a
strong wind went skimming along like
q bird over the ice. The wind was all
my way. When it would get light I
would just stop and pitch camp and
wait for fresh breeze. Itwas just like
sailing on the water. All had to do
was to sit back and hang on by the sled
rail and enjoy the ride. The ice was
strong on the lakes, so did not have
any trouble"

DISEASE IN IMPORTED HIDES.

Bacteria from China Poison Water
OF o Greek Near a Tannery. 49,
Some weeks ago the treasury depart
ment at Washington received informa-
ton that four employees of the Falls
Creek tannery, near Du Bots. Pa, had
died after drinking water from Falls
creek, which receives the drainage
from the tannery.
An Investigation by the local au-
thorities IS said to have disclosed the
fact that large number of hides which
had been imported from China were in
fected with the disease known as an
thrax, and that during the process of
tanning the bacteria had poisoned the
waters of the creek with the result
stated.
The present tariff act prohibits the
importation of hides into the United
States except from countries which the
secretary of agriculture may designate
as free from cattle diseases.
In view of the information received
from Falls creek the treasury officials
have in preparation a letter to the Sec
rotary of agriculture recommending
that the matter be further investigated
and if the facts are found to be as
stated that he issue an order prohibit
ing the importation of Chinese hides
into the United States.

RECORD BROKEN OVER A WIRE,

Ahidavits Sent by Telephone from
Minneapolis to New York.
THE record for the transmission by
long distance telephone of afhdavits in
an attachment case was beaten the
othef day by the sending Of an affidavit
from Minneapolis to New York city.
The law firm of Knecland, Thompson,
Stewart & Hoelljes, $40 Broadway, re-
ceived a telegraphic message from Aus
tin, Hall & Co., of Minneapolis, stating
that they had obtained an attachment
against the Bank of Minneapolis for 49,.
600 for money deposited. The message
said the bank had suspended and that
ut had a balance at the National Bank
tof Commerce of New York city which
the firm desired to obtain.
The firm saw the necessity for haste
and advised their clients by wire to as
sign the claim by telephone to some
representative at New York city. Ar
rangements were accordingly made and
the telephoned af6davits were written
out at this end, and an affidavit was
made as to the identity of the voice. All
these papers were attested by a notary,
taken into court and, after being ap-
proved, placed in the hands of the
sheriff for service. This prompt action
tied up the funds of the Bank of Mime
apolis on deposit with the National
Bank Of Commerce.
"A member of the law firm that trans

INFESTED BY PLAGUE or FLEAs.

PhiIadelphians In City Hall and It's
Vicinity Suffering from Pests.
Within the past few months there has
been plague of heas in Philadelphia.
It is said that neighboring villages are
suffering from the same inhiction.
Where they came from Is q matter of
conjecture with most people. A Dum-
Der of these pests are now infesting
the public buildings, and the workmen
engaged there can be seen at any hour
of the day scratching themselves as
though they had the itch
It is true there are number Of cats
and dogs that can be observed through
out the corridors of the city hall, but
il anyone will take the trouble to ex-
anime these suffering animals they
will And that the latest arrivals Of feas
are entirely different from those that
infest these house pets. Although these
animals can also be found scratching
as though they were in misery, ex-
animation of the more recent insects
will prove them to be tiny black crea-
lures, while the cat or dog flea is much
larger and of brownish color. These
latter fleas seldom leave the pets ex-
cept by accident, and will quickly re-
turn to the fur of the beast at the first
opportunity. The latest pest will also
leave man or woman and take refuge In
the animal if one can be found close by.
This latest plague, as the insects are
found to be numerous about the city
hall, is said to be due to a certain quail
ty of sand used by the workmen- They
bite and insert themselves into ones
flesh like the common wood tick. Not
only are these little torments to be
found in the city hall, but the average
housewife in the vicinity is suffering
from the plague. Many a poor pet cat
or dog has been exterminated, as The
pests have been attributed to them.
