Mnnar Made in Garbage.

A problem that has engaged the at

most American cities is what to DO
with the garbage-how to get rid OF

The city o. Washington so disposes
of its garbage that profit is got out
Of it. while most other American cit
ies-being less carefully governed
have to pay largely for its removal.
There is contract with a company
which collects the garbage and dis
poses OF il. The garbage is kept sep
arate from ashes and other refuse. In
iron tanks it is taken by rail thirty
miles down the Potomac to the reduc-
ton works Here it is sorted. I'm

New York claims to be the sunniest

STERILIzED ATMOSPHERE.
The Micro-organisms of the Air Neces
sary to Life.

Therefore, as a result of the experi-
ments made by me in 1893 and 1894
and during the present year upon the
influence of sterilized air upon ami
mails, | maintain that, besides the
oxygen of the air, certain micro
organisms of the air are also necessary
to maintain life and the normal
changes in the tissues. These micro
organisms enter the blood during the
interchange of gases and are devoured
by the leucocytes Hence they are
not found in normal blood. Then.
after they have been digested by them
they give rise to the formation of fer
ments without which the normal pro-
cess of oxygenation in the organs rap
idly diminishes and is replaced by the
formation and accumulation of large
quantity of incomplete intermediary
products of tissue metamorphosis that
is. by leucomaines, which cause the
death of the animal"
That is, to say the least, startling
assertion. Kijanitzin, who has done
much work with sterilized air, has
performed a number of experiments
by placing newly born and
other animals in sterile vessels and
supplying them With a sterile atmos-
phere. Under these conditions the
animals emaciate, as a result of a
marked increase in the heterogeneous
excretion compared with the nitrogen
Gus intake, and a large proportion of
them die in five days or less. It does
not appear possible that this is due to
the formation of any poisonous ele-
ment in the air, as a result of the in
tense heat to which it has been sub
jected, and carbon monoxide was not
present in the blood of the ANIMALS
after they died. Therefore it seems
reasonable to suppose that the mere
fact that the air was sterile-that is,
contained no micro Organisms must
be the true explanation.
The interesting feature about this
paper is the light il throws upon the
mooed question of the advantage of
bacteria in the economy of the higher
animals. 1t has been supposed, In
fact it has been accepted, that the
bacteria of the intestine are con.
cerned in the digestion, or at least in
the disintegration of cellulose, but
aside from this. no actual benefit de-
rived from their action has ever been
definitely proven, excepting, of course,
those very indirect benefits that result
from the formation of antitoxins.
If Kijanitzin is correct we must
modify our views, or rather agree to
believe that the ferments of the blood,
which by the way are not as well
known as they should be, but whose
functions are undoubtedly of the
greatest Importance, are produced
largely, if not exclusively as a result
of the conversion of the bodies OF
bacteria obtained from the atmosphere
by the action of the leucocytes.
If one should allow ones magma
ton to run riot it might dream of the
treatment of various morbid conditions
by saturating the air in which the
patient should be placed with certain
forms of bacteria whose bodies should
supply the missing ferments. -Phila

New Surgical Operation.

The Paris Tempes lately reported
that the well-known Vienna surgeon,
Professor Gersuny, had invented a
means by which vaseline could be in
jected under the skin To fatten thin
people. Professor Gersuny, who Is
the director of the Rudolf hospital,
has been interviewed on the subject
and says that 1t is true that he has
made certain experiments, but he has
never had in view the purpose men
toned. Nor does he inject vaseline.
In all his experiments he has used a
mixture of paraflin and vaseline, which
is injected at a temperature of 104 de-
grees, and remains at the point of in
lection without changing it's position
and without irritating the surround
ing parts. Professor Gersuny applied
his invention whenever the treatment
of a patient has necessitated the max
ing good OF parts removed. One man
had to have a portion of his jaw taken
away and his cheek showed a cavity
which the professor remedied by in
jecting sufficient paraffin vaseline to
make an even surface. But expert
ments which have been made with
these injections as a substitute for
constructor muscles are much more
important. The professor had a no
table success with a malformation of
the palate, in which case the patient
acuired a clear pronunciation by aid
OF the means employed. Experiments
have also succeeded where stiff mem
bers had to be made flexible-vienna

ficulty that occurred to him was the
breaking of the line. That he would
have no trouble hanging to it on the
way down he took for granted Now,
as matter of fact" continued the
speaker "a rope is the very worst fire
escape imaginable. To begin with, a
moments reflection will show you that
the chances are two to one that it will
catch on fire and be destroyed before
it can be used. The windows of near
ly all buildings are arranged in
straight vertical lines-one directly
above the other-and a rope thrown
out of an upper story would necessari-
ly cross every easement on the way
down. The probabilities are that some
or all of them would be spouting flame,
and the rope would last about as long
as a piece of pack thread. But, as
suming the coast to be clear, rope
would be almost useless to anybody
but trained gymnast. The average
man would find it physically impos.
sible to let himself down hand over
hand. and if he attempted to slide his
palms would be flayed and he would
let go involuntarily before he went
80 feet. Gloves or cloth are no adj
vantage, as we have proven by tests in
the department. If they are thick
enough to prevent abrasion they will
also prevent one from obtaining suffi-
cient purchase to ease. the descent.
The only thing of any value in that re-
spect Is handkerchief looped loosely
around the rope and then tied firmly
by both ends to the wrist The loop
will bind slightly in the descent and
act as a brake. That is something. by
the way, that has never been in print,
and 1t is well worth remembering. Get
ting a hitch or two of the rope around
ones leg is of no use whatever unless
somebody has hold of the lower end
and is keeping 1t taut Altogether the
rope escape IS a delusion and a snare,
and | wish the fact were generally
understood, becuse the confidence that
is reposed in it makes people careless
of other and proper precautions. -

covered in its experience that a very
large proportion of those who live in
domestic service are unfit for their

Madison, April 24.-The committee
on claims last night reported to
the senate number of large
appropriation bills and the mea
sure granting state aid to graded
schools. The university appropria-
lions are somewhat reduced, $150,000
being allowed for new agricultural
building, 10000 for the college of engi-
neering, both of which are to be taken
from the general fund. An increase
in the annual income of the agricul-
tural college of $4,000, $500 for the
engineering college and $4,000 for the
college of commerce is allowed All
of the latter amounts are to be raised
by direct tax levy.
The bill providing for the annual APP
preparation to the normal school fund
was cut from 1926, 900 to s125,OOO
The appropriation for teachers in
stitutes was reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000, and the bill providing for
state aid to graded schools was cut
from $4,000 to 100000.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, April 20. There is
no hope for an increase in
railroad taxation in Wisconsin for at
least two years. The assembly Tues
day afternoon did the unexpected and
killed the first of the railroad taxation
bills prepared by the tax commission,
refusing to consider any amendments
or compromise. The measure which
was killed proposed to increase the
license fee from to 5!3 per cent. on
the gross earnings, or some 100000
in all. This action on the part of the
assembly was unexpected because it
was believed that the assembly, being
the popular branch and standing near
or the people, would favor a PROPOSE
ton to equalize taxation when it was
backed by the recommendation of the
tax commission. But though Mr.
Hall and Mr. Dodge ably championed
the peoples cause, the vote was not
even close The Dodge amendment
was lost by vote of So to sc, while
the Hall amendment went down SO to
80.

gineers were virtually in sympathy

branch OF the service as follows:
"A marine engineers strike has new
err come to my knowledge. There have
been differences believe at different

but such have always been quietly adj

arise here at any time | am sure they
will be settled in the same manner and
