care for the property. There have been
a number Of these coast defense works
completed recently, and the order de-
failing men to care for them is merely
a routine matter. In addition to de-
failing the men a special board is now
in session in Washington preparing
various new posts, and work will be
begun on these as soon as practicable.
The men are stationed at these new
points and will be drilled in the use
of the guns, and will form the nucleus
of a permanent heavy artillery force,
which will be augmented from time to
time. 1t is for this service that the
war department has asked of congress
two additional artillery regiments, and
the officials express great hope that
this request will be speedily complied
with, as there are at present not
enough men to effectively man the
many new works, which, in the devel-

YELLOW FEVER GERMS
FACTS BROUGHT OUT By A DEM
oNsTRATOR OF BAcTERIoLoGY
An Alleged Discovery That May Be
of Great Use in Dealing With the
PlaSue--The AggIutinative Re-
actiOn--YeiIovv Fever Germs xiii
Those of Typhoid Fever.

FROM the New Orleans Times Democrat
Local medical circles are excited over
the discovery of a successful manner Of
ascertaining whether or not a patient
has yellow fever. The discovery was
made here in New Orleans by local
physicians, and a sufficient number of
successful experiments have been made
to invest the test in the minds Of ply
sicians with an Importance second only
to the discovery of a yellow fever pre-
ventive
The Whole matter came out at the
last meeting Of the Orleans Parish
Medical society, Of Jan. %, which was
probably the most important and large
ly attended of any in the history Of
that organization. Several valuable
papers We're read and discussed, chief
among which was the paper Of Drs. P.
E. Archinard, the eminent bacteriolo-
sist; r. S. Woodson, of the United
States army, and John J. Archinard,
demonstration of bacteriology, of Tulane
university. These gentlemen have for
the past three of four months been en-
gagged at work in the laboratory of the
state board of health upon the patho!o-
gy of yellow fever The most import
ant part of their work has been the
application Of the agglutinative test to
the germ Of yellow fever.
Readers of the Times-Democrat are
probably aware of the fact that this
same test has been applied for the
diagnosis of typhoid fever in every
large municipal laboratory in this coun-
try and Europe for the past two years.
1t has proved itself of great value in
the diagnosis of doubtful cases of fever
and is test that has merited the en-
tire confidence of the medical profes-
sion throughout the world
The "agglutinative reaction" as the
phenomenon is called. was discovered
by a distinguished French scientist
In plain words, it consists of the ap-
pliCation Of the blood of a suspected
case to the germ of typhoid fever If
the blood proves to be from a genuine
case it will kill all the germs and cause
them to crowd together in clumps.
The recent outbreak of yellow fever
offered to these gentlemen the oppor-
tunity to apply this test to numerous
cases of yellow fever, and the paper
read Saturday night was a report of
their valuable work, in which they
prove the value of serum diagnosis in
yellow fever and cite q great number
of cases in which the test was success
full. DR.. T. S. Dabney, member of one
Of the most important committees of
the Parish Medical society," and who
took an important part in the discus
sion of DR.. Archinard's paper, said last
night that in the tests reported by the

Tense points where modern guns are

the necessary officers to take charge Of

A 5oo.ooo-Ga11on wine-pond.
From Leslie's Weekly.


Just think of 100000 gallons of wine all
In one long, deep pond! That is what you
will find at Asti,S +Sonoma county, Cal. This
wine pond is 1O4 feet long, "a feet wide and
"A feet deep Last fall there was an enor-
nous crop in California, larger than any on
record, and the officers of the italian-Swiss
Agricultural colony, which has perhaps the
largest vineyard in the United States, Won
dered what to do with the new wine crop.
Then Mr.. P. G. Ross, president Of the COL
ony, conceived the idea of building a big
concrete cistern. and. by working day and
night, the steam pumps began, in the latter
part Of October, filling the cistern with the
must" or new wine. forty-fiye days after
the first shovelful Of earth was dug An
excavation was made in the hillside, Just back
OF the wine cellars. The bottom sides and
under side of the cover CONSTRUCTED of steel
glrders) were covered with concrete two feet
thick. Then the whole surface was lined with
line quality of cement, glazed to the polish
OF glass. The big Cistern is covered with
three feet of earth. and in Few months the
grass will be growing over the pond of red
wine underneath.
The cost of making this great wine reservoir
was 1900; the sand and gravel for the ce-
ment being near at hand lessened the ex-
pense about one-half. The bottom of the pond
is several feet higher than the winery cellars
SO that the wine, after secondary fermenta-
uon, can be run off by gravity through six
inch pipes into the %, G00-gallon wooden tanks
in which 1t is aged before being put into bar
