dunn has yet been found which offers
equally favorable conditions for the
growth of all kinds Of bacteria, and
the variety of these is very great in
water
However, a very close approximation
as to the general amount of pollution.
can be made. But the difficulty is very
great of determining how many varie-
ties of bacteria are present, represent
ing large number of diseases. Hence
examiners generally single out the colon
bacillus, since the methods for it's dis
covery are reasonably certain. But
scientists are coming to recognize that
there are several species rather than
this head.
The analyst tells us that pure water
contains originally no, or at least few
bacteria, hence a large number found
always indicates a pollution that is
suspicious or dangerous. AS to how
many bacteria water may contain and
still be fit for use is undecided. There
is no concordance of opinion on that
point. The upper. limit must always
be determined in each case by the
judgment of the bacteriologist after
analysis of the local conditions;
judgment that considers the facts
given by the chemist and the engi-
neer. :
From all which we are to conclude
that we should trust not to bacteriolo-
logical examination alone, nor to bare
percentage statements but to the COM
bined tests of the bacteriologist and
the chemist, and the physical facts as
to conditions reported by the sanitary
engineer, and we may add, by good
observers. Along these lines therefore
our committee should proceed, for as
we are to examine waters now with
view of getting at the exact truth we
can afford to- make the examination
thorough, since we can i'll afford to
make mistakes or waste our energies
and money in tests that may be de-

cal. examination at it's full value, but
we are not to accept it as conclusive.
We must add chemical analysis also;
but we are not to accept that as final;
for both the bacteriologist and the
analyst must consider the local con-
ditions as discovered by the sanitary
engineer in forming a judgment as to
the purity of water.

General Joe Wheeler is ordered to
Manila to act as inspector Of the army
in the Philippines. That will hardly
be to his taste, but for a man OF his
years it will give him enough to do
General Wheeler is bit too old to
command on the firing line, or to en-
dure the fatigue of a campaign in a
tropical climate. He would unquestion-
ably undertake it gladly, but it is the
policy of the Government to place
younger and more vigorous men at the
front. General Wheeler sufficiently
proved his valor and discretion In
Cuba. He is admirably fitted for the
office of inspector, and as his integrity
is unquestioned he will have the per-
feet trust of the Government.

Whether Dreyfus is in good or poor
health we shall not probably learn
from the news agents. One lot of them
insist that he is stopped, aged before
his time, dull of brain and generally
physical wreck. Another batch of
reporters is quite positive that he is
in physical feather of the best order
Is actually improved in appearance,
and is as clear of intellect as ever
Probably to strike happy mean we
may conclude that his four years. i'm
prisonment and suffering on the lonely
isle has had the effect of furrowing his
forehead somewhat, of dulling his SEN
sibilities and of embfttering him
against the world, but that otherwise
he is physically and mentally as strong

Men and women are subject to ca

WHITES IN THE TROPICS.

BENJAMIN Kidd, an accomplished
student of civilization, has asserted
that the white race can never sue
cessfully colonize the tropics, and anti
expansionists use this statement sup
ported by several other writer's also, as
an argument against our retention Of
the Philippines. But Truxton Beale in
the July Forum is unwilling to ac-
cept this dictation, and replies that 1t
is not infallible. He says:
By asserting that the progressive
races can never colonize the tropics,
the anti-expansionists are denying
that progress itself exists. One phase
of progress lies in overcoming the dan
gers of environment. The skin canoe
of the savage sails at the mercy of
every wind and wave, while the huge
ocean steamers of progressive man
plough through every sea with hardly
any danger from the elements. A herd
of cattle, left to itself in the environs
of Ottawa, and overtaken by a winter
of unusual severity, would almost en-
tirely perish; but civilized man in those
surroundings can so defend himself
against such periods of severity that
he will suffer little inconvenience from
them AS nations advance they be-
come more and more independent of en-
vironment.
1t is then shown that the evil effects
of tropical climates upon the white
race are being rapidly conquered by
science. He might have added a recent
and significant example of that truth
in the improved sanitary condition of
Cuba, after but six months occupation
by Americans, having the will and the
power to introduce sanitary reforms.
He declares that even with our pres
ent imperfect knowledge, a colony tof
our own planted upon the isthmus of
Darien to-day, would not be annihilated
by the climate as was the Scotch col
ony placed there in 1893.
1t is pointed out that the white race
is rapidly filling up the temperate
zones, and that the richest and most
productive part of the planet is in the
tropics. He concludes that the natural
and necessary trend of the white race
in it's geographical expansion and dis
tribution will be toward the tropics,
.and with the necessity will come the
means"
That is perfectly safe conclusion.
No race of earth manifests such powers
and arts of adaptation as the white.
1t has not in. modern times suffered a.
-
single defeat in adapting itself to eli
matte conditions. In fact with the
march of science it is every day DEM

habitable, and to remain there.
It is unnecessary to recite the scien-
tific means already employed to enable
the white race to thus accommodate IT
self to- locality. But such means are
multiplying. The study of tropical
medicine. as Mr. Beale well says, is do-
ing much to forward this adaptability
of the race, and it is going to do a
great deal more.
While it may appear to be visionary
to consider the discovery of the uses
of liquid air as means to enable white
men to inhabit the tropics successfully,
yet the essayist thinks 1T is by no
means fanciful. We quite agree with
him, for possibilities lying in that di-
rection have been but barely limited at.
We do not know what their circum-
ference may be but we do know that
even so far as we have advanced. they
are marvellous in their promise. 1t IL.
therefore, by no means chimerical to
say with Mr.. Beale that science Will

promptness or vigor of the necessary
effort. 1t will be a matter of both ar
gument and influence, but we have
both. No community is more favor
ably located for the success of such a
system. The colony population is dense
and well arranged for easy finding; the
roads are already named and simple
system of numbering can be easily ap-
piled. The climate makes delivery pos
sible every day in the year. with no
hindrance from stress of weather.
If conditions are such in Fresno as
to warrant the Government in estab-
fishing free rural delivery of postal
matter, then Sacramento should have
had it years ago. Fresno's road system
! is not as good as that of Sacramento.
Ours may not be greatly better, but
as we understand the Government to
require as condition precedent. How
ever, we hope that our southern sister
will succeed in the desire expressed.
| The purpose of bringing the subject
forward again is to impress upon our
| people the wisdom of acting immedi
| ately. The necessary petition should
| be formulated. officially Endorsed and
| forwarded, and our representatives in
| Congress solicited to push the matter
before the Postal Department at Wash
ington. We have not contended that
the system could be put in here gen.
orally. Our road system as a whole
will not warrant the Government in
introducing delivery generally in Sac
ramento County. But if it can go into
Fresno County generally, it certainly
can here with equal justification. We
apprehend that the situation in Fresno
is much as it is here, namely, that In
certain districts near by to the city
there are miles enough of good road
way to justify free delivery Of mail
NATTER That is the fact concerning
Sacramento. We have one bicycle route
and three road routes from the city for
several miles, over which free delivery
OF mail matter could be made greatly
| to the convenience Of rural residents,
and to business men within the city
Such delivery we ought to ask for at
| once.
