SCIENTISTS FIND
That Typhoid Germs Are Bred in oys-
 ters by Sewage.

l2ES sewage
 4 scare was caused in Englend some years ago by the statement that oys- ters were active disseminators O ty- phoid fever. The consumption in en- don of what are invariably referred to in the country papers as luscious bi- valves" thereupon fell off 50 pr cent The eockney. alive to his opportuni- ties, refused to buy oysters for his sweetheart, on the ground that they were dangerous. As oysters are very expensive in Great Britain arfhew. people were easily convinced ot Lneif unwholesomeness. The reduction in consumption caused rapid fall in prices It also injured the American exportation of Blue Points to England Profs. Herdman and Boyee went to five among oysters of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous. They looked into the cause of the color Of green oysters. 'eThe green hue, they pfcturesquely say in their report, Ifs equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market, to the one who raises them from their bed with pair Of rakes. and also to him woo raises them out of their own jf ees from the half shell by means of sil. yer triaent. This eoloring has been attributed variously to metals, yege- table coloring matter. bile pigment and the pigment of diatoms." The inyes- tigations Of the learned oyster sharps, however, yield the fact that the green color is not always due to the same eansas Ono variety is caused by COD per. This appears true of tas Arneri. can green oyster In other varieties iron is found, while diatom, or moss, is suspected as cause to still others. The American green oysters are fre~ quently thin and have shrunken flyers. The contamination of oyster beds by sewage and the results of experimental feeding of oysters with matter laden with typhoid fever germs are taken up. Oysters from the vicinity of sew CTS contain bacteria. Those that nave imbibed typhoid bacilli have III them germs which can be cultivated from them fourteen days after infeeuon.-- New York Journal.

IS A THING OF THE PAST.
lone-Horned Steer Took Too Much spaoa
 and Held Too Decided Opinions.

and Held Too Decided Opinions.
 Ten years from now the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will looA at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doorways= of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of a beef critter" on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds oi thousands of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains of the Lone Star state. For the passing of the long horned, long legged, uncertain eolofed and still more uncertain tempered Texas steer is thing of today, and in his place one finds a steeklly built, red or roan ani- mal. with short, stubby horns, or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to- day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle of the past He has sim- ply supp1anted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone out into space and is no more. The improvement-as it most certainly lS-ndS been brought dpOuC III many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that car space that could be filled up by good. salable beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into a car, as they could stand closer together. It was but step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very favorably with the cat tie in Missouri. He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 15G ponn ds heavier tban in former days

 Irrigation in Siberia.
 If the winters are long in Siberia, and very cold, on the other hand, the summers are extremely warm and dry. The small streams of water dry up dur. ing this season. and agriculture suffers much from this state of things. To remedy the evil, the inhabitants of certain districts in winter collect the snow and accumulate it at the bottom of some narrow valley. They press it and make 1t compact so that 1t will be more resistant to thawing. At the end of the winter they cover the enormous piles which they have thus formed with branches, straw or earth, in order to protect the snow against the rays of the sun and the exterior heat Then, when after long days without rain the water of the streams begin to dry up the snow, in spite of it's covering, commences to melt, and by meRns of a ditch made for this purpose, tse water which runs down supplies the riYer uR- til the return of winter

queer Indian Gastonss.

The Mosquito Indians are not se- quaintad with the art of kissing, but they sniff or smell the skin of the cheeks, which answers the same pur- pose. The little child is lifted in the fathers arms, he buries his nose in it's stomach. Handshaking is as common As with us, but there is always tinge of melancholy in the character of the Indains, which breaks out where We would expect hilarity. Thus, after long absence, sisters and mothers sit down, and, throwing a cloth over their heads, with tae,r hands clasped on the head of the person who has returned, cry over him with their dirge-like song. On the part of the wives, it is supposed to be improper to show any emotion; consequently they take lit Gle notice of the husband on his return. but confine their attention to others and do their duties in the meantime-- Bel's Tangawera.

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING
Cases Caused In Many Places by Re-.
cent Heavy Rains.

HAVANA, June 23.-The unusually
heavy rains that have been falling
throughout Cuba have caused yellow fe'
yer in places where it had been unknown
for several years. Fortunately. except
at Santa Clara and Quemados, the Unit
ed States troops have escaped. At Que
mados two new cases are reported among
the members of General Lees staff-Ma
jor Kean, chief surgeon, and Captain
Hepburn, signal officer. Captain Hep
burns case is serious, but Major Kean's
is light. Mrs. Edmunds, wife of the
late Major Frank II. Edmunds, is con
yalescent. She has not yet been told OF
her husbands death.
Havana has developed only three cases
thus far in spite of the gloomy prediction,
of what would occur as soon as the rainy
season. from which the city did not suf.
fer last year, was really at hand.
El Cubano says:
"The Cubans have a right to object tt
the expenditure of money for sanitary
measures intended to protect the lives OF
few Americans. as they do not them
selves take yellow fever. lin such cir.
cumstances large expenditure cannot be
justified"
General Wilson, commander of the mil
itary department of Matanzas-Santa
Clara, telegraphs that the situation at
Santa Clara city has materially improved
since the troops were ordered out of the
city limits. General Lees headquarters
at Quemados will probably be moved tc
the camp in the neighborheod of Fort
Columbia where the troops are. or pos
sibly to the site of his first headquarters
at Buena Vista.
Governor General Wood will appoint a
commission to investigate all claims fol
or against church property, several mu'
inequalities having claimed that much
property, nominally in charge of the
church. really belongs to the people. lu
many instances the municipalities have
confscaled disputed property on that
ground.

Forces of Roberts and Butler
Are United.
KRUCER'S SONS NOW FARMING.
Baden-P0wcll Rides From Mafeklna
to Pretaria-Special Mention For
StrathcOnR's Horse British
buy ,1rupp Batteries.

LONDON, June 23.-General Steyn's
forces in the Orange River colony are fol
the time drawing most of the attention
of Lord Roberts, rather to the neglect Of
Commandant General Louis Botha and
President Kruger. The severance be-
tween the Transvaal and the Orange
River colony was completed yesterday,
as Lord Roberts said it would be. by the
arrival of General Buffers advance, ul'
der Lord Dundonald, at Standerton.
The wide net around the 6,OO0 or 5000
men under General Steyn will now con.
tract. Adroit maneuvering and brisk
lighting are likely to take place because
until all resistance south of the Vaal is
at an end the British line of communica.
tons will not be safe.
President Kruger's sons who surren.
dered to General Baden Powell are back
on their farms and working peacefully.
General Baden-Powel rode with only
300 men from Mafcking, and he made
the last section of his ride to Pretoria
with only 30. Lord Roberts met him in
the outskirts of the town and escorted
him to the presidency.
General De Vets farmhouses have
been burned by the British.
General Butler has issued a special or.
der eulogizing the services of Strath.
cona's horse.
Captain Jones and the brigade from
the Forte have been ordered back to the
ship at the admirars request.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceved from Lord Roberts:
Ian Hamilton's column reached the
Springs yesterday en- route to Heidel
burg, where they will join hands with
Buffers troops, who reached Haardekop
yesterday and will be at Standerton to.
between Pretoria and Natal and pre-.
venting any joint action between the
Transvaalers and the people of the
Orange River Colony.
"Baden-Powell reports from Rnsten.
burg that he found the leading Beers
very pacific and cordial on his return
journey hence. Commandant Steyn and
two actively hostile field cornets had
been captured during his absence.
Lord Edward Cecil, the administrator
of the Rustenburg district, has to date
collected 5000 rifles.
1.-The commissioner at Kroonstadt re.
ports that 341 rifles have been handed
in at Wolmarnstad."
A dispatch from Lourenco Marques
dated June %, says:
president Kruger's principal cond
ton for immediate peace is that he be
allowed to stay in the country. There
are 5000 British sick and wounded at
Pretoria. Mrs. Rcitz, wife of the Trans
vaal state secretary, and her family, who
arrived here en- route for Europe, had SC
little money that the Dutch consul pur
