Rain is found to bring microbes
to rivers in enormous numbers
from both land and air. From
an official statement, it appears
that in the three first days of Feb
ruary, without rain, the average
number of microbes in the Thames
at Hampton was G,510 per cubic
centimeter; from the 4th to the
18th, with rain every day, it rose
to SO, 355; and at the end of the
month it had fallen to 14.914.

A recent summary shows that
twelve systems Of mechanical
traction have been adopted on the
street railways Of Paris. These
operate thirty-one lines or routes,
of which six use accumulatorS,
two a combination of accummu-

overhead lines, one an overhead

new railway line the overhead

The Carnegie Steel Company yesterday

the history OF the world. II has a double signin-

means that the Carnegie Steel Company's ad-
vantages for manufacture have never been
even partially realized. and also that greater
things can be looked for from this country in
exports than foreigners ever dreamt Of.
The Carnegie Company has agreed to deliver
to the Russian Government within the next
twenty six months 100000 tons OF steel rails
at price that is said to be the highest quoted
this year
1t Is said that the sale was made at 500 per
ton. but this Ia not authentic and is merely
street rumor. 1t Is safe to say that the price is
not loss than S25 per ton at the mill. Such
being the case. the Carnegie Steel Com pany
has an order aggregating S4,5O0,0OO which
has never been surpassed In the history OF the
steel trade.
1T could not be learned who represented the
Russian Government in the deal. nor was It

The rails are for the extensive railroad pro-

WAsHINGToN. June 22.-Joseph Aver OF

mony related to the condition OF the Maryland
farmer. which he thought was much worse
than II was thirty or forty years ago Before
the war farming was done by planters who
owned their slaves and cultivated their planta-
tions with their labor. After the war most OF
the planters declined to employ their former
slaves and as result were compelled to mort
gage their farms. which fell into the hands Of
strangers. mostly residents OF cities, who had
little interest in agriculture Consequently
many farms fell into idleness and have never
been reclaime ed. although moyem ent has been
inaugurated TO reclaim them. He did not think

ways to the Defender, that her admirers are
willing to give odds that she will beat the old

Mr.. Blake and the Harvard Crew.

The Hdrrdrd Bulletin has this to say regard
ing Mr.. William Blaikes complaint that his

If Mr.. Blake feels that he has some truths to d.
vnlge in the interests Of Justice it would seem that
he might easily have chosen a more effective time
than the present in which to do the divulgng-just
when the crew is finally sci, cted and hard at work
in New London on the last stretch OF training before
the race.
The Bulletin desires TO reassure graduates that, so
far as we know. every one in the university who
pretends TO any knowledge OF rowing matters dis
agrees absolutely with what Mr.. Blake has said.
Even the personal friends of his unite with the
rest in saying that while the young man il powerful
and all excellent sinR.e sculler he has never,
under the best coaching. shown the qualities which
make man valuable in an eight. Distinctly and
unquestionably the university retains its faith in
Coach storrow despite anything that Mr. Blake has
said
