Dust and bacteria.

Some interesting facts concerning
the comparative number OF particles
of dust and bacteria in the air We're
communicated to the Royal institu-
ton recently by DIR. Allen Macfayden
Using Athens dust-counter, he founo
in an open suburb Of London 10000
dust particles in every cubic centime.
ter Of air, while in the heart of the
great town the number of particles,
in the same volume of air, was 100000.
In the open air of London there was
on the average only one micro-or-
ganism to every 3s,3o0,000 particles OF
dust, and in the air of room amongst
$4,000. 900 dust particles only one or
gansm could be detected. These facts,
Dir. Macfayden said, illustrate the pow
erty of the air in micro-organisms
even when it is very dusty Their
continued existence is rendered diff.
cult through the influence Of dessica-
ton and sunlight. Drying up is one OF
natures fayorite methods Of getting
rid Of acteria.-Seience.
Progress In The UTIcnr.
In Alricrs a motor vehicle trans
port now makes a daily run of 10e
miles between two towns where We.

REPUBTIC SPECIAL.
Philadelphia, Jan. AT a meeting Of
the Board OF Directors OF the Philadcl-
phia and Reading Railway to-day in the
office OF President Harris. the proposition
for the purchase OF the majority OF the
capital stock OF the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey was submitted. President
Harris recommended that the proposition
be accepted. as. he said. the two railroad
properties could be managed in connection
with one another 10 the best advantage and
would virtually supplement one another He
gave his reasons In detail for this belief
but they were not made public.
After considering the proposition in all
It's details. the session lasting two hours, a
resolution was adopted authorizing the Of
hcers Of the Reading to arrange for the
purchase. Besides President Harris, these
directors were present: II. T. Mexican.
John LOwber Welsh. Henry a. Dupont.
George g. Thomas and Samuel Dickson
Members Of the board who were seen
after the meeting were extremely reticent
as TO its proceedings. Not one would say
what amount Of stock was offered, what
price was to be paid for IL. whether or not
minority stockholders would be allowed 70
dispose Of their stock to the company on
the same terms. or whether the transfer
would be made.
1t was also impossible TO learn whether n
proposal is likely TO be made for a transfer
OF control of the Lehigh Valley Railroad to
the Reading or whether that matter was
discussed at the meeting. The belief that
Mr.. Harris will remain president of the
statements made to-day BY some Of the
directors.

Babies have troubles enough
that can't be helped; don't let
'em run down and get thin.
A thin baby is never healthy.

ever the better one isn't enough.
