HEALTH OF THE STATE.
Death Rate of July Estimated at POS

Death Rate Of July Estimated at 2O,S-
+. Infant Mortality Very High.
| The state board Of health reports for
| July 1858 deaths. This was 462 more
than In June, and PA more than in
July of last year, and 2S5 more than
the average number of deaths in July
| for the five years preceding. The death
rate was PIT for the large towns, for
the small towns 1871 and for the whole
state 20.S The deaths reported from
infectious disease were 52o, being ISL
| per cent. Of the total mortality
The secretary sage:
In July, the highest mortality was
due to Inflammation OF the bowels, at
tended with diarrhoea, and the chief
sufferers were infants. The general pre-
valence of infantile diarrhoea during
hot weather is of common observation,
but the hasty inference that heat is
the chief or only cause Of the disease
is a fallacy. The great majority of
deaths from diarrhoea occur in the first
years of life. A much larger majority
occur among bottle-fed babies. Cows
milk is the usual bottle supply 1t is
generally fed to the children from
twelve to forty-eight hours attire it Is
taken from the COW. In that interval
it is greatly contaminated by the ex-
posures to which 1t has been subject
ed, and the consequent growth within
it of innumerabe bacteria. 1t is ex-
ceedingly rare that a baby, fed exclu-
sively from the breast of the healthy
mother, suffers with diarrhoea, how
ever hot the weather may be. Hence
it follows, that most of the 400 babies
that died in Connecticut in July were
victims of poisoned milk or other un-
suitable food. The mother who can
nurse her baby, but for selfish reasons
refuses to do So assumes fearful re-
sponsibility.
The lowest death rate for July was
In Bristol, in 1000; the highest in
Branford and Naugatuck, 1876 each. The
principal causes of deaths were diar-
rhoea, 446 (under years, 40D, con-
sumption, 1870; heart disease. 12S; acct
dents and violence, So; diseases of the
nervous system, 1853. There were 900
marriages and 1884 living births.

Fine Specimens of Amethyst Crystals

Fine Specimens of Amethyst Crystals
Discovered Near New Britain
New Britain, Aug. ia party of
four biologists from Harvard university
have been in New Britain the last day
or two examining the rock foundations
and topography in this part Of the Con-
necticut valley
They made one discovery that is of
considerable interest-that some. of the
finest amethyst crystals found any
where are located in some Of the local
Quarries. A number of very fine speci-
mems were secured.
Professor J. B. Woodwork, the Har-
ward geologist, is the leader of the par
ty, which was made up of G. P. Arm
strong, J. 0. Pultz and e. c. Z. Lord.
Professor Woodwork told reporter at
the Hotel Russwin last evening that
this trip was part of the second-year
course in geology at Harvard. They
Travelled over the eastern part of this

tine.

been coming here for ten years, but
he previously made his headquarters in
Meriden, but thought New Britain bet
ter.
A tour was made through the Maui
gatuck valley for fossils a few weeks
ago, and the party expected to break
up this week after a visit to Mt. Hol-
yoks.
One of the students while exploring in
Wilson's quarry on South Stanley street
found some fine specimens of amethyst
crystal. The professor said the discov-
cry was interesting, but the crystals
were not very valuable, as they were
so plenty. Over towards Harrington
several Indian arrow heads were dis
covered. They were in good condition,
and had recently been turned UP by
pillow.
The party left last night for Hol-
yoke, where the trip will end.

Body Of Willimantic Man, Who Com
mitted Suicide.
Willimantc Aug. 16.-The body of
James A. Clark, aged sixty-fve, for
merly q machinist in the employ of the
Holland Silk company, was found dang
ling from a limb of a tree this morn
ing about o'clock, in what is known
as the Post orchard, on the Columbia
road.
The suicide was evidently premedi-
tated for a few feet away from the
body was found a saw horse upon
which he stood.
After kicking the horse away, how
ever, his feet apparently touched the
ground, for when his body was found
he had his limbs doubled up under
him.
Dependency on account of domestic
troubles Is thought to have been the
cause of the suicide.
