Paris, April IA sensational divorce
suit is being brought by Count Robert
de Pomereu, deputy for the Department
of Seine Infericure and Mayor of Heron,
near Rouen,
On April 49, 1892. when the Count was
busy at Heron discharging his mayoralty
functions, man bearing precisely the
same name married in New York Miss
Lizzie Barrier, aged 81 of British origin.
Three weeks ago the real Count, then
In Paris, received letter from a woman
styling herself ia Comtesse de Pomereu,"
full of bitter reproaches, appealing to
him to remember his duties as husband
and father and upbraiding him for Ill
treating their only child The Count was
altogether nonpIussed. He examined his
tongue. felt his pulse and put himself
through various intellectual calisthcnics
to convince himself that he was not GO
ing mad, for to the best of his knowledge
he was under no obligation, martial or
parental.
At first he thought the matter hoax.
Finally he sought the help of a lawyer to
solve the mystery. A friend called upon
the lady aud inspected the marriage GER

order. 1t duly set forth the necessary
particulars OF the husband quite correctly,

Pc From the Hospital.
1t has always seemed odd that the bac-
teriologist has found 1t far easier to

OF diseases which used not to be consid-
cred infectious at ell. than to lay his
hands upon the living germs which, as

smallpox, the very type OF an infectious
disorder, declined to display the germ on
which it's nfectivity depended Some
time ago DR.. Monckton Copeman discov-T
cred mlcrobe in vaccInia, but even he
failed to cultivate 1t, so that its claims
to be regarded as the cause Of the dis
ease remained somewhat uncertain.
Now two papers on the subject are
published simultaneously, one by DR..
Copeman and the other by DR.. NJ Funck
OF Brussels. DR.. Copeman says broth in

capsules. sn1 placing these capsules
within the peritoneal cavity of rabbits
and dogs, he has been able to obtain a
culture, numerous zooglea masses being
visible. made UP Of bodies resembling
spores Apparently they represent the
resting place Of the specific microbe."
DR.. Funck takes quite another line. Hs
holds that vaccinia is not microbic
disease, but is caused by protozoon.
EASILY found in all, vaccHe pustules and
in all active vaccine; that the incubation
of this protozoon IN a sterile emulsion
reproduces in Susceptible animals all the
classical symptoms of vaccinia, and rem
ders them refractory to subsequent inoc-
ulations with vaccine; that the varlolous
pustule contains a protozoon morpholo-
gicaily similar to that OF the vaccine, and
from these facts he argues that vaccinia
Is but an attenuated form of variola,
which, OF course. is what is already pref
ty widely accepted, although on other
grounds.

the bacillus Immediately, and so the sun
fights for the preservation of the Long
Island species.
New York itself isn't inhospitable to
the tetanus bacillus. In 1899 there were
ninety deaths from lockjaw in New York
city and its vicinity. many of the cases
being due to accidental wounds made by
toy pistols on the Fourth of July. The
pistol wounds In themselves would not
have bothered the small boys more than
on any other Fourth. Probably there
were no more of the wounds than there
usually are on that glorious day; but,
unluckily for the owners of the pistols,
lockjaw bacillus were out In tremendous
numbers that season and seized the OPP
portunity offered by the pistol wounds.

Independence properly and keep his hands
| clean, so there was no escaping the Turk
ing foe.
Last year two cases of lockjaw in this
| city were due to abrasions on the head,

diver in each case struck his head against

In warm climates the disease Is more
common than in colder localities. not be-
