Useful Intelligence.

The enactment in Michigan not long
ago of n law providing for teaching in
The public schools the modes by which
The dangerous communicable diseases
nre spread md the best methods for
the restriction and prevention of such
diseases" has attracted the interested
attention of nll sanitists and intelligent
folk generally. II does not need n
Eavant to decide now that the germ the
Dry of disease is established, that its
full benehtc can be secured only through
wide dissemination of our new ltnowl-
edge. Prof. Fall, of the Michigan state
board of health, is of the opinion that
the public school is one of the best
means to scatter this saving lore. He
thinks children should be taught the
germ theory and something of the man
ner by which Investigations are carried
on. They can learn the name of bacillus
tuberculosis rs well as they can that of
a plant or root, and lenrn, too, that in
proper soil n crop of consumption is
just as sure to be Ind from the sowing
of consumption germs us II crop of peas
or pumpkins follows from the sowing
of the proper seeds.

The following passage from Henri
Rochefort's Adventures of Life" give
some idea of the risk he once ran:
For more than a quarter of n CEN
tury," he says in his preface, "I have
been like n man on q switchback rail-
way, continually plunged from the high
est SUBMITS into the darkest depths.
A few months after the day when the
populace threw down the Sainte-
Pelagie doors to liberate me and carry
me in triumph to take my seat in the
national defense government I was
dragged to Versailles in chains and
threatened with death. For a whole
hour paraded in the streets of the city
like another Pougatcheff, and can still
bring to my minds eye the figure of an
old man, attired in closely buttoned
trock coat, who waved red umbrella
and started in the direction of the pro-
cession: It's Rochefort! Flay him alive
this time!'"

A ST. Bernard dog captured n burglar
in New York the other night. The
dogs owner, n woman, heard the ami
NAL barking in the basement. and. or
going thither, found him standing on
his hind legs holding n colored man
against the wall with his forcpaws. She
rushed to the window and called u
policeman, who wns passing on BIZ
cycle. When he got to tine burglar the
dog was holding him down, on the floor
and he wns badly frightened. The dog
removed his paws from the prostitute
form when he saw the policeman and
permitted the arrest to be made. AS
the burglar is a well-known offender,
who is wanted for two other crimes of
the same sort, and as he had stolen a
clccli, a guitar, and two violins, it will
not be necessary for the dog to appear
In court against him.

The Keeicy Motor.

A visitor, described as n scientist
from London, has been to see the Kelley,
motor, and describes himself, in the.
London Globe, ms greatly impressed
with it, and of the opinion that Mr..
Kelley "has certainly discovered n new
force, which ought eventually TO be of
lnestimable value in the workshop of
the world" The motor is now of ines
timable value-that being the pnrtic-
ulnr thing that seems to all it. The
London gentleman saw Mr.. Keeley's
wheel go round, and was amazed, as
were the other scientists present, who
found no evidence of the working of
any power they knew of, but yet felt
sure they were in the presence of some
thing wonderful and beyond their COM
prehension. Mr.. Kelley explained, but
did not help matters, his explanations
being "couched in hopelessly obscure
language" The most the visitor could
make out was that the wheel was kept
In motion "by some occult sympathy,
allied in n certain way to the elements
of music"
Mr.. Kceley may never perfect his
mysterious apparatus, but he has at
least so far interested the public that
he should write his autobiography
;ruthfully and in clear end lively Ian
yuage it might find readers. The world
would be glad to know more about his
machine, says IIarpers Weekly. and as
he and his experiences and intellectual
processes seem u very important part
of it, it might prove ready TO acquaint
itself with them.
