Experiments on Hogs.

However. the question being Of too
much Importance To be determined
without full data, the commission
placed under treatment a number OF
domestic hogs in an environment free
from suspicion OF the possibility OF any
communicating with the bacillus chol-
erae suis, with a view of deciding the
question OF the reaction of these ami
mails to the bacillus icteroides admin
istered TO them in pure cultures in their
food.
These experiments were conducted
at the United States quarantine station
at Delaware Breakwater. 1t is deducted
therefrom-hrst, that the domestic pig
is incapable of infection from the ba-
cillus icteroides when introduced
through the intestinal or digestive
tract. and second. that the bacillus icte-
roides, when fed TO pigs, will not pro-
duce any OF the LESSONS or intestinal
symptoms OF hog cholera"

TWO W0RLD-FAMOUS BOOKS.
Unlisd States Has Purchased The Most Cosay,
China The Largest.

The most expensive book ever pub
lishedi is the official history Of the re-
bellion, which is being issued by the
United States government at cost up
to date of s2,S00,00O. or this amount
near one-half has been paid for print
ing and binding, the remainder to be
accounted for in salaries, rent, sta
tionary, and miscellaneous expenses,
including the purchase of records from
private individuals. Ii has taken ten
years to complete this work, which con-
sists of ll2 volumes
The largest book in the world Is in
the Chinese department OF the British
Museum. and consists OF 5000 volumes.
This wonderful production Of the Chi
nese press was purchased a few years
ago for $500, and is one of only three
copies In existence. IL is an encyclopae-
dia of the literature of China, covering
a period of 2S centuries-from 1000 Il.
G. to 100 A. u.
II owes it's origin to the literary pro-
clivities OF the Emperor Kang-he, who
reigned from 1862 to 1922. In the course
of his studies of the ancient literature
of his country. Kang-he discovered
that extensive corruption had been al
lowed tn creep into modern editions.
and he conceived the idea of having the
text and the originals reproduced and
preserved i'm an authoritative form.
This was a mighty conception. and i'm
it's execution IL remains unique down To
the present day. For the purpose OF
carrying out the work. kang-he APP
pointed commission of learned men TO
select the writings to be reproduced,
and employed the Jesuit missionaries
TO cast copper types with which TO exc
cute the printing.
The commission was occupied for 40
years in its great task. Before the
work was completed Kang-he died. but
he had provided that his successor
should see the book completed. The
book is arranged I'm six divisions. each
dealing with a particular branch OF
knowledge. The divisions are thus des-
ignated: First writings relating To the
heavens: second. writings relating to
the earth; third, writings relating To
mankind: fourth. writings relating To
inanimate~ ~hature. fifth. writings re-
lating TO philosophy: sixth. writings re-
lating to political economy.

VIEWS HELD BY SOUTHERN EXPERTS.
Or. Archvard, eaolMo|ogst Of New Orleans
Board Of Health. Thinks Serum Was Of no
Use In Cases Last Year.

Washington. Aug. 22.-Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg's declaration thar he be-
lieves the bacillus icteroddes-the yell
low fever germ of Sanarelli--to be iden-
tical with the bacillus OF hog cholera
has not disturbed the confidence of Of
ficers of the Marine hospital service In
the conclusion, reached by Surgeon
Wasdin and Assistant Surgeon Ged-
dings, that Prof. Sanarelli has discov-
cred the true germ of yellow fever.
Surgeon Wasdin was not willing to
discuss Surgeon General Sternberg' s
declaration further than to refer the
correspondent to the report which he
and DR.. Geddings had submitted. In
discussing the resemblance between the
two bacilli. the report OF Drs. Wesdin
and Geddings says:
"The resemblance between the bacil-
Jus icteroides in it's behavior on certain
media and the bacillus OF hog cholera
has been brought to the attention OF
the commission. and II has deemed the
observation that there is a possible
similarity in the pathogenity of the two
organisms in the domestic hog of great
Importance, although its experience in
the observation of the cultural SINH
larities leads TO the conclusion that
they are culturally distinct, while the
infection of the domestic hog. in ats ex-

Thinks Serum vaIueIess.

Reports of the tests with Sanarelli
serum made in the New Orleans hos
pitfalls in 1883 are not as fiattering as
the results obtained by the Marine hos
pital service in Washington. The OBJ
servations were taken by DR.. r. r..
Archinard, bacteriologist to the state
board OF health, and he discusses them
in paper prepared for the August
number of the New Orleans Medical
and Surgical Journal.
The experiments were made In the
Charity hospital, with serum from
Montevideo. There were fourteen cases
three of which are rated as mild"
Writing OF the results, DIR. Archinard
says:
From the above cases. which limft
our experience with the anti-amarylic
serum OF Sanarelli as "a curative agent
in the human being attacked with vel
low fever, We are forced to conclude
that this agent In our hands has shown
no curative powers whatsoever. None
OF the important and dangerous symp-
toms of the disease was in any way
mltigated or prevented by it's, admini-
stration.
Our hospital cases, IL Is true. were
severe cases, and in some Of them
treatment was begun so late as to pre-
clude all hope. However, we have had
cases enough, we believe, and the pa-
tients' symptoms before and after Sc
rum injection have shown 80 little
change as to warrant our conclusion
as expressed above"
DR.. Archinard made no experiments
as regards the immunizing properly of
the serum I'm tho human species. but
performed some experiments along this
line on the lower animals. These. the
doctor says, did not warrant him i'm n
high opinion as to the serum's immu-
nizing power.

REPUBLICANS OF IOWA.
They Make No Concession TO the Cow.
ardly Anti-ExpansiOn
Policy.

The Iowa republicans have taken the
first steps towards carrying their state
tfis fall by majority exceeding the
one of 63,00d which they rolled up last
year. They have renom;natedG Gov. Shaw,
who has made an excellent executive,
and they have adopted platform which
speaks out boldly on the right side on
all the great questions of the day.
The declaration made in 1898 in favor
of the gold standard, which contributed
so much to the winning of the victory of
last fall, is readopted. 1t reads: THE
monetary standard of this country and
the commercial world is gold. The
permanence of this standard must be
assured by congressional legislation,
giving to it the validity and vitality of
public law. All other money must be
kept at a parity with gold" Wednes-
days convention supplemented this
with an urgent appeal to the Iowa SEN
ators and Representatives to lend their
best endeavors to enact these PROPOSE
tons into law. This appeal will not go
unheeded by the Iowa representative
who is to occupy the influential position
of speaker, or by any of his colleagues
in the house and senate. The recogni-
ton in the platform of "the loyalty and
exalted patriotism of the sound money
| democrats who put aside partisanship
to maintain the good faith of the ma
ton" is proper acknowledgment of
valuable services, which should have
| been made sooner.
There is no concession to the coward
ly policy of anti-expansion in the plank
relating to the Philippines. The Iowa
| republicans assert that nothing of
support, of sympathy, of moral and ma
| terial aid and comfort will we ever
withhold from the American soldiers
in the Philippines, and that there
shall be no division among us until all
in arms against the flag shall confess it's
superior right and power" There is
an Iowa regiment serving in Luzon now
The men who belong to it will indorse
this plank, and will be back home in
time to vote against the democratic
candidates running on pro-Filipino
] platform.
The subject of trusts is not ignored.
The platform declares that when they
prove hurtful to the people then they
must be restrained by adequate law,
and if need be abolished" How this
shall be done the convention did not
presume to say. That is a matter for
congress and the state Legislature to
| determine.
| The Iowa democrats may fuse again
with the populists. 1t will make no diff
ference if they do. With or without
fusion they will be defeated by an over.
whelming majority. For their plat.
sorm will run counter on every point to
the intelligent, patriotic sentiments OF
! the mass of the voters of the state

SUNKHAZER FLIES OF MAINE.
Worse Than Jersey Mosquitoes and
Kissing Bugs Have No Chance
with Them.

Since reading in the newspapers of the
kissing bug and his doings all the people in
rural Maine have taken to capturing bugs
and insects of all sorts and bringing the speci.
mems to town for eXamination by newspa.
per men and naturalists. Countless are the
kinds of bugs that have been taken to
Bangor in bottles, boxes and preserve jars,
and the captors all seem to be sorely dis.
appointed when told that instead of the gen.
uine kisser they have moth killer, lace.
winged fly, or something quite common and
harmless.
A man came from Veazie to Bangor the
other day with ferocious- looking bug
corked up in a preserve jar and claimed the
credit of having captured the first kissing
bug in that part of the country. 1t was not
the famous kissing bug that he had, but ma.
tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob
ster with wings
II don't care a hang" declared the Veazie
man, when told that he must try again.
"These fellers kin lick the stuffin' out of
Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your
common bugs kin do"
Not many people living far away from
Bangor know what "Sunkhazer" is like.
1t is ferocious big fly that infests the fats
and meadows about Sunkhaze deadwater,
place in the Penobscot river where the
water is slack and where millions of logs
are RATED. The Sunkhazers are the pest
their hearts content, and nothing can drive
them away. They are four times the size of
the famed mosquitoes of Jersey, and any
Maine man will back one of them against a
dozen kissing bugs in fair stand-up fight.
Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs.
but SO long as the Sunkhazers survive they
will not feel onesome.-N. Y. Sun.

COUNTING DISASTER.
Efforts of the New England Free
Traders.
Trying to Disguise the Discarded
Doctrine4 of CObdenism to De-
ceive Agricultural and Indus
trial Producers of America.

The American Economist criticises
the action of the New England Free
Trade league in offering a series OF
prizes for essays on the subject OF
"Whom Does Protection Protect?"
The purpose of the league, our contem-
porary declares, is to create the impress
sion that protection benefits the few al
the expense of the many. 1t seeks TO
do this by appealing to the consumer,
who is insidiously taught to believe
that cheapness is of more benefit to
him than the preservation of an eco
nolnic system which elevates to the
first place the idea of keeping up the
standard of living of the producing
classes.
The Free Trade league is wasting
good money in its efforts to convince a
thinking people that temporary cheap
ness is thing worth striving after
The American people have learned by
experience that there is no real cheap
ness excepting that which results from
the development of domestic indus.
tries. No country on the globe whose
people are content to remain dependent
upon other nations for their supplies
of manufactured articles ever succeeds
in securing them cheaply. This is
proved by the fact that only those
countries which have domestic man
ufacturing industry are able to con
sumo manufactured articles in any
quantity.
Cheapness is relative term. The

NJ. Havemeyer answers himself. The
mother of trusts is the cupidity of sell

stamp, men who do not give two cents
for cthics," who give no thought to the
sutferings brought TO thousands by
means of the grinding methods they
employ in crowding out the small mid

ness of others, are overShooting them
selves by fastening day of retribu-
ton.
The Havemeyer indictment against
protection will not hold. The COM
planning witness has no standing in the
court of public opinion. Monopolist
Havemeyer by his own words betrayed
himself as a commercial pirate devoid
of all sense of responsibility to his fell
low men. His fortune has been heaped
up by the squeezing process. He has
little sympathy with that form of en-
tcrprise which develops natural re-
sources, establishes industries and Of
fers employment, and because the
builders of factories rather than the
manipulators of markets have enjoyed
the encouragement of recent industrial
legislation, the self sufficient Have
meyer is against the whole protective
system.
The truth is that Mr.. Havemeyer is
endeavoring to divert attention from
the effort to discover real remedy for
the trust evil of which he has been
so conspicuous a promoter. The peo-
pie of this country will have sense
enough to SO elsewhere than to Mr..
