THIS ATOM MAKES TROUBLE.


Microscopic Thingumbob Driving the In
habitants to Hard Drink.
A microscopic thingumbob IL the
reservoir of the Middletown Conn
water works is making more trouble
than some persons very many thousand
times its size. Its present occupation
appears to be driving the Inhabitants
of Middletown to drink, and although
scientists are after it hot hooks it goes
right on thriving.
Some OF these same scientists, says
the New York World, gave this dimin-
utive beast the name Of uroglena vol
vox. But this mouthful of dead
language didn't exactly fill the bill, 80
some male person Of Middletown tackled
on the adjective "odorous" Now all
folks who live in Middletown call the
intruding organism the "odorous urog-
glena volvox," and try, as far as posi-
Die, to keep it out of their midst.
The odorous whadjecallem's partic-
ular forte is dying along all the water
mains in the Connecticut borough:
Scientists who have pried into it's family
affairs say that before it gets into the
water mains it has no effect upon the
fluid. But in the hurly-burly of jostling
through the pipes with unaccountable
millions of its kind it gets all broken
up, disintegrates and gives to the water
the taste of fish long dead, but un-
buried.
Scientists who have brought it be-
meath the cold, INSCRIPTIONS eye Of a
miscroscope say that it is a minute mass
Of jelly. The Middletown people say
that it may be jelly, but that it leaves
taste darn sight larger than a
minute"-some hours long, in fact. And
the whole town waits to see what a
learned biologist can do to clean the
uroglena volvox out of the reservoir.
He says, just at present, that the atom
is washed down into the reservoir from
the hills above and that it looks as if it
has come to stay. Meanwhile the Mid
dletownian associates with the thing
umbob externally, and the price Of hard
cider has gone up.

A Bengalese magistrate, having been
informed Of the whereabouts of mad
dog, armed himself and went to the
place where the rabid animal lay by a
house door. He learned upon inquiry
that two women were in the house and
sent word to them that he was about to
shoot the dog, and, therefore, they
should not be alarmed by the report,
and that as he might not infiict fatal
wound at the first fire, and, in fact,
might miss, they should remain within
until notified. Such a supreme cour-
