THE MALARIA MicRoee.

~ 1Adividaal Organism Of IndspeaAsne
Growth.
! An eminent italian scientist, who Ia
IN acknowledged authority ON malaria
and its causes, tells us that no matter
how saturated with moisture soil may
be, it is not Of necessity unhealthy.
The malarial microbe is not a produc.
ton OF the soil, neither is it the cause
or effect of decaying vegetable matter.
1t is an independent organism, and has
as much an Individual growth and de.
velopment as sheep and cattle. It must
be present in the soil in order to bring
about those conditions known as ma.
larial. 1t is an established fact that
this microbe exists, as it has been cult
vsted and carefully observed. For its
perfect growth and increase, a temper.

which is only slightly damp, will not

Tor malarial germs, and they either
perish altogether or remain dormant
until moisture puts the earth into more
favorable conditions. The favorite and
predisposing situations for malaria,
then, are low places where there is
stagnant water. The colony once well
established, the broiling sun Of sum-
mer and the continuous and steamv
moisture cause these small but mighty
creatures to multiply with amazing ra-
pidity, and the atmosphere becomes
literally charged with them. To re-
main in these localities is to inhale and
absorb them by the million. There is
one saving possibility in the situation,
and that is the cultivation and drain

Thereupon the bankers, thinking the
oner might be a genuine one, sent the
governor OF the prison check for Ave
pounds and asked him to provide the
convict with set of artificial teeth.
In due course the convict kept his
promise and sent the bankers certain
information, by means Of which they
were enabled to recover no less than
one thousand Eve hundred pounds of

naturally regarded this as the best in

proved even better than anticipated,
Tor they have just received from the
prison authorities a remittance of one

Nlso Of Babylon and Rome.

The greatest cities of ancient time
were Babylon and Rome. The former
Is said TO have an area Of one hundred
to two hundred square miles; its houses
were three or four stories high, but
palaces and gardens occupied much Of
the vast area, SO that the population
was not what these figures seem to
indicate. In fact, it is said by one his
torian that nine-tenths of this area
was taken up by gardens and orchards.
The total population of the city under
Nebuchadnezzar and his son, Evil
Merodach, is estimated at over two
million. Rome reached its grandest
size during the fourth century Of our
era, and its population was then about
two million FIVE hundred thousand. !

that is the whole kernel Of the coal

he said:
Firmly. It is as effective as white
labor and does not combine and con-

Swapping Free Hides For Dutiable Sugar.

says ex-Congressman John DE Witt
Warner, els notice to eastern manu-
facturers Of what they may hereafter
expect Hitherto they have considered
protection as a sort Of providential ar

like POlOnius In Hamlet, they are in
vited by "a certain convOcatlon OF polltlc
wOrms' to a supper not where they eat,
but where they are eaten. The manu-
facturers Of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit Of 9th
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule.
"Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that sChed
ule:'
Il think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept SO except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust Of
the west We're the New England sena
tors willing to risk offending the Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty on hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, III proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with Sugar trust influences than
is any other part Of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrich, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge MAY bcwail the

turers. there is no prospect whatever
that they viii sacrifice the Sugar trust
