LETTER TO Mr.. GEO. JONES,
SOtITh PARIS.

DEAR SIR:-The kind Of paint the rail-
roads use Is safe kind for you to use,
as they buy from chemical tests and
practical experience-n0t from theory.
They keep a record of each car and
station painted, and can tell to q day
Just how long the paint has worn. Years
Of experience have proved our Paint Ia
be the most durable made; that's why %
many railroads use It. The Ga miles Of
the elevated railroads OF New York and
Brooklyn have been painted with ouI
paint for IS years. This Is merely one
instance. Yours truly,
F.W, DEyOE q Co.

such earth even although there has
b en- no recent contamination from
any fresh case OF the disease. 1t is
evident that protracted life OF the
organism might afford time for it to
traverse comparatively long dis
tances, and to reach water or air in
localities which for considerable
period had been free from typhoid,
thus affording a possible explanation
OF the occurrence of apparently
spontaneous outbreaks. DR.. Sidney
Martin, to whom the task Of investi-
eating the question has been com
mitted, has so far only reached
preliminary stage in his inquiry but
even this tends strongly to zorro
borate the hypothesis upon which
the inquiry is based Samples of
"organically polluted" earth were
obtained at Chichester by DR.. Bull
strobe, and other samples were OBJ
tanned from locality in Hampshire
which had never been cultivated or
MANFRED, and which was distant
from any habitation.
THIS VIRGIN SOIL
was obtained from three depths; a
top soil consisting OF peat, in which
heather was growing, and subsoil,
locally called "rust," forming hard
and almost impermeable covering to
the third soil, which consists OF red
sand The polluted soil was found
to be swarming with microbes Of
various kinds, while the unpoliuted
soil contained very few, and these
possibly derived from extraneous
sources during transit. All the
samples we're sterilized with extreme
care, and we're then inoculated, in
the centre Of each sample, with cul-
lures of the typhoid bacillus. The
general result obtained was to show
that the organically polluted sell
afforded a medium in which the
bacillus not only retained its vitality
but in which it multiplied and ex-
tended from the centre to the
neighboring portions; and these evil
dences Of its life and activity have
now been continued, at varying tenn
peratures, over periods ranging from
ten to eleven months. With the
virgin soils the results were entirely
different, and in them no sign to
THE EXISTENCE OF THE BACILLUS
could be discovered after periods of
fourteen, twenty, and twenty-three
days after inocculation. The ex-
periments thus far have not includ- !
ed any test of the disease producing
power OF the bacilli which have
hourished in polluted soil, and they
have, OF course, been limited to cou-
ditions obtainable in the laboratory.
They will have to be repeated on
larger scale and in different circum-
stances before valid conclusions can
be drawn from them; but, such as
they are, they suggest to Sir Richard
Thorne that we may be upon the
border of territory where some vein
of actual knowledge is likely to be
discovered which will materially
assist, not only in solving the pro-
blem of the different behavior OF
typhoid fever as regards its persist
ence and recurrence in one and
another dwelling, town, or district,
but as further emphasizing the
value of the practice which has now
for a long time been pursued in
this country with the object of pre-
venting the prevalence of the disease.
