TYPHOID FEVER.
Usually the Result of a Polluted water
Supply.


In typhoid fever, says the Scots
man, the germs are not given off from
the breath, mouth secretions or skin,
but are confined to the bowel dis
charges and the secretion of the kid
neys. If these discharges be perfectly
disinfected and ordinary cleanliness
be observed as regards the patients
surroundings there is little fear of in
fection. We get typhoid fever from
water or milk into which the germs Of
the ailment have been allowed to es-
cape. Thus what gives tito onein the
case of an epidemic gives it TO all. A
polluted water supply with millions
of germs breeding and multiplyingin
it is liable to infect q whole COM
munity, and this, indeed, is the his
tory of most of the outbreaks Of ty-
phoid fever that occur. Then. again,
We know that oysters, cookies and
mussels taken from the beds over
which the sewage from a town is al
lowed to pass will convey the fever.
The germs live in the shellfsh for
certain time, and when these are eaten
infection is naturally conveyed.
Many cases of this kind were noted
few years ago, and one good effect of
the warning thus given he's been the
greater care exercised by pu5vsyorsof of
oysters in seeing that the sAsilfsl are

LIME WATER FOR STREETS.
weula Be Productive of Sanitary c n
fort in Hot Weather.

DR.. T. ..ddowes, writing to med
ical jouri :, suggests that the use of
lime water, prepared fresh, for water
ing the streets in hot weather would
prove to be a practice productive CT
sanitary comfort. The advantages
claimed for the practice are said to be
those first Of aggregstirg together
loose particles of manure and thus
to prevent them from being Giffused
by the wind; second, Of exercising a
certain antiseptic action; third, cf PFC
serving wood paving, and, fourth, Of
rendering wood less slippery. The
idea should be worth considering by
the local authorities intrusted with
the care of the streets, and an ener-
getic surveyor might make trial of DR..
Eddowes' plan on an experimental
basis. Lime, we are told, is employed
near Vienna for the disinfection Of
sewage. Collected in one Of three
tanks, a days sewage is mixed with
fresh milk of lime in the proportion
Of from oneto two per cent. The mix
ture settles for 4S hours, then the
clear effluent water is drained off.
The sediment remaining is used as
manure. Its valuein this latter direc-
ton is alleged to be great. The eff
fluent was said to be clearer than the
water in adjoining mountain streams.
may remark that lime has long been
used for purifying sewage. From six
to II grains of lime are employed per
gallon of sewage. The objection to
this method is the rapid putrefaction
of the sewage if too much lime is add
ed, while it is said that as the organic
matters in suspension are alone affect
ed, publication is defective, and the
manure of no value.-London Chron-
icle.

BLOOD ORANGES.
German Chemists Trying to Learn Sc
cret of Their Color.

There is a great demand in Ger
many for the so-called '1talian blood
orange" The popular idea there is
that this fruit is colored, not by ma
ture, but by injections of some arti-
fetal vegetable dye. To discover the
truth or fallacy of this belief, several
well-known German chemists have
been experimenting, first, to find out
from the b. .od orangeitself if its color
is due to artificial means, and, second
", to change the common Italian or
ange into blood orange by injections
of different kinds Of coloring matter.
The experiments, however, have not
been attended with success. 1t was
found that no single injection of any
solution would color more than one
part of the orange, and that if several
injections were made. sGe fruit was
likely to decompose very quickly.
The theory was then advanced that
the coloring was produced by water
ing the roots Of the trees with a blood
red vegetable solution. 1t is needless
to say this experiment was as barren
of results as theirs

COMMUNICATION WITH MARS.
Eminent Astronomer Sums up Difiesl-
ties of the Situation

Sir Robert Ball, in a recent con-
tribution to an American magazine,
has shown in brief and sensible way
that. signaling to Mars is beyond the
power of human resources. The au-
thority of this eminent astronomer.
asserts the Portland 0regonian, af-
fords satisfaction to those of us who
suspect certain scientists of pander-
ing to sensationalism and notoriety.
1t is also very improbable, even if
there are intelligent beings on Mars,
that they could send a signal to us
which we could detect.
That there is life on the surface of
our neighbOr planet Sir Robert does
not dispute, nor is he prepared to
controvert the theory that the lines,
called canals, are the work of en- arti-
fetal agency. But by several practical
illustrations he shows the absolute
absurdity of receiving signals with
our present instruments of obServa-
ton, or of creating a disturbance on
this planet such as could be seen BY
the Martians, unless they have tele-
scopes far beyond the power of ours.
The atmosphere which densely ev-
velops the earth is in itself enough
to battle their efforts to study our
planet, or to receive signal from
us. Our difficulty in penetrating the
gaseous vapOrs of Jupiter and Venus
satisfy the best of our astronomers
on that point. We get fairly good
view of Mars because of the extreme
ly attenuated atmosphere on that
body.
Moreover, the best of our telescopes
reduce the apparent distance of an
object hardly to a thousandth part.
When Mars is nearest the earth, lis
distance from us is about 35,000,000
miles. Our greatest telescopes can
reduce this distance to an apparent
$4,000 miles. Signals from Mars
must therefore be sufficiently great
to be visible to the naked eye 35. 900
miles away. This is about one and
one-half times the circumference of
the earth, or about 1,4O0 times the
apparent distance of the moon
through great telescope. Everyone
will admit that an object to be seen
by the naked eve $4,000 miles away
must be tremendously large. Ofsuch
prodigiOus proportions. therefore,
must be any signal received by us
from Mars. Even if the people of
Mars have means Of observation as
efficient as ours. and even if they pen
citrate our atmosphere, an accom-
plishment which in our experience is
impossible for them. they cannot see
the largest of our cities. If we could
wave at them a flag as big as the
whole state of Oregon, they might no.
tice it, but in all probability the gases
and vapors of the earth would shut
off their view. If the entire surface
of Lake Superior could be covered
with petroleum and set on fire, the
occurrence might reach their vision.
If an equal phenomenon should take
place on Mars, it would just barely
be discernible to us as a tiny point
of light. All the vast power Of Nj
agara falls could not produce light
enough for a signal. If this greatest
source of power which man has is
insufficient, the futility of signaling
may be accepted, at least until hu-
man kind has gained more control Of
natural forces than at present.

OZONE IN THE AIR
Scientists Declare 1t Is an Active Rival
of Disease Germs


The effect of ozone and SUNLIGHT
upon bacteria has been often studied
but without entirely conclusive re-
suits. DOwner and Blunt in 1878
concluded that the blue and violet
rays of the spectrum were fatal to bac-
terra, and that the effect was dine 10
the presence of ozone formed in sncb
rays in atmospheric air. The ones
tion has been taken up anew bv
Messrs. Ransome and Fullerton who
have experimental on the bacteria of
diphtheria, typhus, tuberculosis.
pneumonia, etc. They conclude that
ozone exercises no appreciable ipfu-
ence upon these bacteria. The viru-
lence of the bacillus Of tuberculosis
notably is not enfeebled by ozone
they say. The effect of the ozone in
purifying the air is the result of its
energetic oxydization Of the organic
matter in the air upon which the bac-
terra feed, not in any direct action
upon the bacteria Themselves. Ozono
is, then, no more than an active rive
of the bacteria, in which, as is we'll
known. all the vital actions NAV ho

THIS is TALCUM WEEK.

THIS is TALCUM WEEK.
Here is spring and summer weather
With their sunshine punched together
And in molten hunks they bring it,
And in bolt and chunks they fling it
At YOU round you, on you, Ger you,
Wrap you in it, scorch you, score you
Till you feel the perspiration down
your spinal column trickle,
And your skin feels rolled up red hot
like slab of tripe in pickle.
This ad might run longer in this pa
per If the weather warmed up, but it's
thin enough to run 1000 miles in Il
snow drift.
There's ticklish, prickly feelin'
In the summer heat that darts
Up and down, across and round you
In a million, trillion smarts,
Well as if a billion jiggers
Were a-rutin for their pickins
And scratch and jab your hide at
Just like the very dickens.
On fat men and on babies
Girls, old maids and old ladies,
Sprinkle Talcum Powder
Then it's say, July the middle,
When the skeeter's start to fiddle,
And the flies put on their frescoes on
the wall.
And the puppy wears his pants,
And the summer girl her glance,
But of course this is not exactly ALL
Use Talcum Powder.
When the air is baked and dried
Rolled in dust, and toasted, fried,
Sizzled, frizzled
Till it's grizZied,
Through a sand screen it is drifted
Through collander it is sifted
First to breath it.
Use
Talcum Powder.
But here I'll say
There's just one way
To keep off summer itches;
That's cool your skin
BY wearing thin
Big shirtless waists and breeches,
And
Dust yourself with Talcum.
