GERMAN SYMPATHY FOR DREYFUs

TESTIMONY OF FRENCH GENERALS DE-
NoUNCEp BY BERLIN PRESS.
Berlin. Aug 16.-The refusal to adjourn the
Rennes trial pending the recovery of NJ LABOR
IS severely commented upon here. captain
Dreyfus is compared to man in the stocks-at
the mercy of anybody choosing to pelt him ana
without means Of self-defence.
The German press hitherto reserved and mod
crate. now expresses its feelings strongly on the
subjects OF the evidence OF Generals MERCER
and Bnlot. Keen analysis and criticism charac-
terize every comment. The references by Gen.
eral MERCER to Germany are denounced as In
accurate mendacious and puerile'" They VIII
not be officially cortradicted. because Germany
cannot be held responsible for the casuistry OF
French generals"
It is equally improbable that Mercier's state
ment will be denied in the Reichstag. or that
any steps Will be taken which would imply in
reference In the domestic affairs Of France, be-
yond what has already been done in the name
Of humanity to prove that Captain Dreyfus had
no connection with Germany The press of Ber-
lin is practically unanimous on this point.

Filtered MIX,

William Curry, an old north Texas
dairyman, who has travelled extensive
.ly abroad, says, according to the Dali
las News, that central depots where
milk is received and filtered before be-
ing taken to the consumer are now a
feature of several European cities.
Large cylindrical vessels are divided
horizontally near their centre by COM
partments containing sand of three
successive degrees of fineness, the coar-,
sest being the lowest and as the milk
arriving from the country is poured
through a pipe into the bottom of these
vessels it rises through the sand filter
and is run off by an overflow pipe into
a cool cistern from which it is drawn
directly into locked cans for distri-
button.
The sand is renewed each time the
filter is used. The dirt is separated
from the milk, the number of bacteria
is reduced to one-third and an aston
ishing quantity of mucus and Shiny
matter is removed, the loss of fat be-
ing very light.

Star reporter, "or as much as is posi-

who have such horror of growing

The singular exploding bean OF
Batavia. upon which French botan-
list has lately had opportunity to re-
port is like a cigar in form and color,
but only about an inch long. The
strikingly energetic manner with
which it scatte1s its seeds.is it's un-
ique characteristic. Thrown into water
it rests quietly for two or three min
utes tle en- uxplodes with noise and
splash suggesting a mallttorpedo;
ripened thoroughly on the plant, it
scatters its seeds forcibly but with a
slighter noise; and when plucked be-
fore maturity and ripened IN q warm
spot, it splits open gradually and
without noise. The phenomena are
due to the hard outer she'll and the
moisture absorbed by the porous in
ner tissue.

1t appears that the first work OF
the Liverpool School of Tropical
Medicine is to be an attempt to free
certain localities from malaria by a
novel method. Major Ronald Ross
observations in India tend to show
that human malaria is not conveyed
by the domestic mosquitoes, those OF
the genus Culex, but by those OF the
genus Anopheles, and that the latter
unlike the former, are seldom found
in artificial collections of water, but
only in natural ponds and puddles.
The suppression of the dangerous mos
quitoes depends upon whether their
breeding places are sufficiently iso-
lated and rare. An expedition to
West Africa is to make inquiries into
this subject, and it is hoped that the
destruction of the mosquitoes and
preventing of malaria may require
simply the inexpensive removal of a
few small pools.

Moving pictures of plant growth,
taken at the rate of one exposure an
hour, are among the lately announced
wonders of photography. Another
novel development is the continuous
illustration of surgical operations,
kinematograph pictures having been
taken by NJ. Doyen, distinguished
French surgeon, that show various
kinds of operations from the first cut
of the knife to the laying on of ban
dages. AS it is often impossible to
make verbal descriptions SO complete
as to avoid all risk of error, it is insis-
ted that such pictures will be of great
to students of surgery.

With his curious whirligigs, &. l..
Weyler has initiated the phenomena
of magnets not only in normal air,
but in highly rarefied air and in
liquids. A wooden axis has four or
more paper wings fastened to it, and
when this is rotated the air currents
set up cause either end to attract the
end of like wooden magnet rotating
in the opposite direction and to- repel
the end rotating in the same direction.
The effects are the same when
wooden rods with perforated paper
wings are held stationary in rotating
cylinders. The lines of magnetic

The gigantic form of early times =
the mastodons, aurochs and Glands
have disappeared from Europe, their
hour having struck, says DR.. Seitz,
when the tempestuous atmosphere be-
came regular, new and elegantly
formed creatures have taken the place
of these Titans of animal kingdom.
In other parts of the world, however
these radical changes have not yet
taken place and Important, elephants,
buffaloes and crocodile still occupy
extensive tracts, while in the tropics
are many creatures of the lower
orders that seem too large to belong
to the present time. In Brazil, huge
butterflies, gigantic wasps and colos-
sal locusts drive away lizards and the
smaller birds. The largest butterfly
known as the Agrippina, measures
more than quarter. of a yard be-
tween the tips of its extended wings;
and the giant locust of Northern
Brazil is four inches long with
strength enabling 1t to draw blood
from mans hand with each of the
48 tooth-like projections arming it's

The electric light bath is found by
DIR. Kellogg to give no specific effect
that could not be had from any source
OF radiant heat as efficient. The eli
mination of heterogeneous wastes is
most favored by the Russian bath,
but the electric light bath stimulates
the elimination of carbonic dioxide in
very marked degree, and induces
far quicker and more profuse per-
SEPARATION than the Turkish anG Rus
sian bath. It's speedy action tends
to free it from the exhaustiug effects
OF other baths inducing perspiration.

LOTS OF WHITE PAPER.

The Republican today is using more than five times as much white paper as it did in October, 1896, when the present owner as stunned control. If you are an ad- vertiser you must have noticed that carloads of paper for The Re publican are carried through the streets of Phoenix at short inte2- vals. We are not buying white paper at 4 cents pound (freight included) for the privi- lese of exhibiting it in Phoenix. Although we believe in advertis- ing, that would be too costly.
 We assure you that all this paper has been employed ill the manufacture of Republicans, and we can show you by our sub scription lists that these papers have gone not only to all parts of Arizona, but to many far away points. Such a liberal con sumption of paper means noth- ing less than a large general circulation.
 And circulation is what you should desire, if you are an ad- vertiser.
