killing Rats with Microbes.

A meteorological method of exter-
minating rats, proposed by NJ. j..
Danysz, of the Pasteur Institute OF
Paris. is described in the British Med
,cal Journal. M. Danysz has found
microbe which if introduced into p
nopulation of rats may be trusted to
breed a. pestilence among them that
will wipe them out, or at least make
them a negligible quantity. FROM
field mice suffering from a spontan-
eous epidemic Of disease he isolated a
cocco-bacillus presenting the general
characters of B. coli, and thus resemo-
ling Loeffier's B. typhi murium. by
an elaborate process OF repeated Gull

through series of mice, and after"aro
through rats, he succeeded in 1ntensl-

himself of the fatal effect OF the Gull

trustworthy statistics, it appears that
the brain of the average man is about
one-tenth larger than that of the aver
age woman; but on the other hand, if
the ratio between the size of brain and
body be taken into consideration,
mans brain comes out second best.
Har ply, however, male intelligence
has loophole of escape from the nat
Eral inference from this fact. The
smaller animal always has the larger
proportional brain. A cat has more
brain in proportion to it's size than an
elephant, and babys brain is five
times the relative size of it's fathers.
Woman has, however, other lines of
defense. All mental activity finds its
origin in the thin outer layer or cortex
of the brain. On every square inch
there are some ten millions of minute
cells, the instruments of mental en-
ergy. Might not more just COMPARE

Suggests New.Style RooL

Curved pages Of an ordinary book
are injurious to the eye. F. G. Muir.
ply shows that the curved page causes
a constant change of the focus Of Tho
eye as 1t reads from one side to thu
other, necessitating a continued effort
on the part of the ciliary muscles The
light also falls unequally on both sides
further interfering with a continued
clear field of vision. He, therefore
suggests that the printed lines run par.
allel to the binding instead Of at
right angles to it, so that all parts Of
the line would be at an equal distance

WOmen's Brains.

Certain fundamental differences of
character seem to exist between men
and women, and "the lord Of creation"
as he sometimes calls himself-is apt
to ascribe them to the brain. This
theory, he feels, carries with it the
privilege of monopolizing the morning
paper, and Of answering with an air
OF authority questions of which he
knows quite as little as his wife. An
English scientist, Alexander Suther-
land, has studied this problem in its
physiological aspects, and his conclu-
sions are interesting to men and wo-
men alike. From q comparison Of

CONVERTED BY FATE.
Big Storm Taught Skipper Of Brigantine
To Trust God.

10 Trust uOu.
All the old sailors of Portland will
tell you stories Of the sudden storms
that whirl out OF the dark heavens and
descend so suddenly that vessels seek
ing harbor and apparently safe are all
at once spun on their heels and sent
away, dashing down the horizon into
the wastes of the sea. Capt. Pickett,
the veteran of the Portland barge Of
fee, was telling me the other day the
yarn of the skipper of the brigantine.
He had made a most prosperous VOL
age from Turks island with cargo OF
salt, which was within almost hailing
reach OF the beacon of Portland Head.
Three days ahead of time and every
thing ship-shape! The mate Of that
brigantine was godfearing man. AS
he stood with the skipper and looked
over the rail at the smoke OF the dis
tant city rising heavily against
gloomy sky, he said: well, sir, we
ought to have a word of thanks to
God for bringing us thus far toward
home all safely" well, you can thank
Him." said the skipper, brutally,
while l go doYn and commence to
get drunk. AS soon's l get worry OIL
my mind I always propose to tank up.
And he went below. And while he was
below fulfilling his promise to the mate
from that gloomy sky broke tempest
and snowfall and blackress. 1t prob
ably had nothing to do with the TACT
that the skipper was taking a drink.
but TO say the least the combination
of storm and drunken skipper was un-
fortunate. For the skipper sober would
probably have been able to run the
gauntlet betweet Cow island and the
Head and reach the inner harbor in
safety. Not so the drunken skipper,
He was dismayed and dizzy and when
he came stumbling on deck IN answer
to the hail Of the mate, he gave orders
10 bout ship and run before the gale
and there in plain sight of the spires
Of home the helm was turned and
away they went racing down the sea
before the storm. Aid ere they saw
that harbor again forty days had
elapsed, during which time they hac
dashed back and forth across half the
North Atlantic. And when once more
they had clawed up to the Maine coas
and had the bow pointed steadily a
the breakwater light and were we'll in
side, away from the still ugly heav'
of the ocean, the skipper grasped thu
mates wet and horny hand and said
"Mate, good man, thank God.'-Fron

Gibraltar Letter to Philadelphia
Ledger: If war breaks out Gibraltar
is the electric bell of Europe, and the
button will be pressed in Downing
street. Gibraltar is ganglion OF i'm
perial nerves. At the western confine
of the inland sea it's possession has
long been held to be equivalent to the
command of the straits. Since gun
merry improved so as to diminish the
value of the rock as a fortress its i'm
portance as protection to the new har-
Dor and the British fleet has been I'M
mensely enhanced. Not long ago. after
the Spanish american war; the Span
iards, at the instigation and cost OF the
French government, commenced the
preparation of earthworks and the
mounting Of heavy guns near the town
of Algeciras and the hill known as the
Queen of SPANS Chair. Our foreign
those works and to accompany its
protest with a declaration that their
continuance would be regarded by her
majesty's government as IAN unfriend-
ly act" form of words found to be
quite efficacious in the Fashoda diff
Guilty. Their use was found to BIZ
equally efficacious in the present in
stance. The Spanish earthworks were
abandoned for the time, but when
Armageddon is announced by the big
guns above Europa point point there
is no doubt that the Spaniards and the
French, if allied, will make things I'M
commonly hot for the garrison of Glib
raltar and the Mediterranean fleet.
With only 5000 men quartered here,
the British could not seize the salient
points of the attack except by dis
patching men from England. In the
meantime, France, occupying interior
lines, could dispatch 100000 men for
the purpose of holding the right posi-
lions from which to lombard the Brit
ish fleet.
This contingency renders the nell
trality of Spain a most important con-
sideration for England. Wooed by two
suitOrs, and exhausted by her recent
struggle with America, Spain wants
rest and peace, but unhappily for Eng
land she is inclined rather to favor
France than to maintain benevolent
neutrality. In the first place all Span.
iards resent most keenly Lord Sails
bury's recent quip about the dying
nations" Then, again, Spain is the
ancestral home Of peculiarly intense
form of ultramontanism and Roman
Catholic antipathy to the chief Prot
