The Danger { rom Flies.


A n0mber of investigators recently
have eslIed attention to the important
role played by insects in disseminating
disease. Because of their great num-
bers and active habits, flies are no
doubt the most dangerous insects In
this respect. After feeding on the
expectoration of the tuberculous, on
the feces of typhoid patients or other
infective material, they carry disease
germs into innumerable places and de-
posit them not only by direct con-
tact with their filthy little bodies,
but by their eXcreta and the dust
formed by the crumbling of their
dead bodies. Restaurants infested
with flies are special abominations.
The danger from this source is not
small. and as the summer will now
soon be on us in good earnest with
hordes of these pests is seems desira-
BILE that everything possible shall be
done to limit the amount of mischief
done by them. More effective meas
ures are needed for destroying their
MULTIPLICATION. The war on moSqu1-
tos by our sanitary department in
Cuba has shown what can be done in
several extermnating insects, and the
preparations which are already being
made in several different places in our
country to carry out the Cuban metf
ods show that the people are willing
to act if they are shown the best
ways. Until some successful method
has been devised for exterminating
flies special care should be taken to
prevent their access to sputum, pus,
or other infectious material; fruits and
foodstuffs should be thoroughly cooked
or washed if flies have been allowed
to come in contact with them, and
should be protected from flies after
preparation for use.

-Tand sweeping machines have been
used with much success on the Wash
irgton streets, says tho Engineering
Record, according to Mr.. Warner Slut
Ter, superintendent Of the Street
Cleaning Department, who recently
naCc the following report on the ap-
paratus. "The advantages to be at
tainad by the use Of this machine over
the present method are as follows: The
work i5 better Gone for the reason
that no dust is raised by the machine
crd scattered by the wind, and much
lore of the fine dust is taken up. No
sprinkling is necessary, as the dust is
carried into the machine, the opera
ton of which is very much like that
OF carpet sweeper. The sprinkling
of a street in advance of sweeping pre-
vents the machine or broom from TAX
ing ID the fine dust. Instead, it is
plastercd to the street by the broom
to become dust again as soon as dry.
With the use Of this machine one man
can care for one-third more area of
streets crd keep them cleaner than
he can with the hand broom. For the
foregoing reasons AMI tie further fact
that this machine is superior to all
others tried by ne, I would respect
fully rccl nmend its adoption in this
city,"

Man Defeats Dog.

Awakened from his sleep by the
maddened beast, DR.. Robert j. Kings
ton had a terrific encounter lasting for
more than an hour, at his home in
Newburg, N. Y, with Bruno, his st.
Bernard dog, weighing more than 200
pounds. He overcame the brute, chok-
ing him to death, but at no light cost
DR.. Kingston had reared the dog

night to protect the household when
professional business called the head
Of the family away. He was out one
aight on case and in the morning was
resting, and the children were playing
with the dog.
Suddenly the animal was seized with
commissions, and, running out of the
dining room, ascended to the bed
chamber of the doctor, sprang on the
sleeping physician, and the fight for
life followed. DR.. Kingston realized
that the animal was wholly uncontrol-
liable, and that there was grave danger
for other members of the family if it
should escape and get down stairs

Auto matte TIagman Tor Trains.

With view to preventing accidents
ct level crossings ard collisions in the
neighborhood Of railway stations a
very ingenious mechanism has recent
ly been tried in France. 1t consists
essentially of huge hook, or catch,
made of iron, which is connected with
lever ct the station by means of Il
wire, through which a current of cleo
tricity passes. When it is lying in its
Place the train passes over it quite
easily, but a. soon as it is raised it
catches n lever which is attached to
the engine. The lever thus caught
causes an air valve on the engine to
open automatically and applies the
brakes at once so that the whole train
is brought to standstill within a
very short distance. In foggy weather
the use of such an apparatus cannot
be overestimated, as it is calculated
to prevent train running into an
other which happens to be delayed at
O station.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Linemnn,s Remarkeble Escape.

There have been many remarkable
escapes from death, but Oliver Ladou-
Ger, ST. Paul lineman, had an exoc-
rience lately that is hard to beat.
He was testing wire that extends
from the store of Hurley Brothers, in
Robert street, to the store Of William
Il. Burkhard, directly across the street.
Ladoucer was hanging on to the wire
with both hands and was slowly crawl
ing out, hand over hand, toward tho
middle of the street. He had got but
few lengths when he felt the wire
giving way. st
He jumped toward the street, dis
tance of thirty feet. In falling he made
grasp for the electric feed wire Of
the street far line. 1t held him with
out his feet touching the ground, aid
this saved his life. Had his feet
touched anything he would have becn
instantly killed.-Minneapolis Tribune.

Great CONAN He Rules.

1t may surprise most persons to
know that the British possessions in
North America and West Indies are
larger than the territory of the United
States in America, even including Por-
to Rico and Alaska. On the North
American continent alone King Ed
wards possessions are nearly 100000
square miles larger than those of the
United States. and taking In the West
Indies and Newfoundland more than
100000 square miles larger No man
ever before reigned over an empire
so great as King Edwards. The
empire to which Victoria acceded in
1887 covered One-siXth of the land
surface of the globe: the empire to
which King Edward has acceded COW
crs nearly one-fourth. 1t is SO times
as big as France, % times as big as
Germany, three and a half times as
big as the United States without Alas
l1a and the island possessions and
three times as big as continental Eu-
rope.

again. Under this thought he lost
sight of his own peril, and devoted
himself to preventing the beast from
so doing. He succeeded in driving the
frenzied animal into the bathroom ad-
Joining his apartment and then closed
The door. But in the act DR.. Kings
ton was forced to lock himself in as
well, for the brute fought fiercely
every step Of the way.
Once the door was locked DR.. Kings
ton began the battle for his own safe
ty, fighting with grim desperation, for
he knew that only by winning a CON-
plete victory would he be spared a
fearful death. The physician is wiry.
but not apparently man of great
was an unequal one.
Time after time the dog buried its
teeth in the fieshy part Of the lower
arm, which the doctor used as a guard
for his neck and face. Finally the ami
NAL was forced into a position whence
it could not escape.
With both hands clutching its wind
pipe, DR.. Kingston choked the breath
out of the animals body, and then,
with the assistance of q neighbor, who
had arrived, threw the huge carcass
from the window.
DIR. Kingston sank to the floor, not
unconscious, but weak from the exer-
ton and the excitement. DR.. E. M.
Phillips was summoned, and the in
jured arm, bitten through and through
in many places, was cauterized and
bandaged.
While the fight was on the noise was
heard by neighbors, and among those
who came to the rescue were Bryant
Young and the son Of Governor Odell,
who lives directly opposite DR.. Kings
ton. He wanted to shoot the dog, but
the expedient threatened danger to the
physician, who at that time had al.
most mastered the beast.

Whales Attack Men in a Canoe.

While erying to fight cnraged whales
from canoes two members of tho
Charleston telegraph line construction
party at Fort Simpson were hurt so
seriously that they barely escaped
with their lives, says a special from
Vancouver, B. G. Sixty men are at
work stringing Government wires on
the Skeena River. Last Friday three
whales came twenty miles up the river
and dozen men turned out to chase
them. The whales turned on the light
canoes, and the river was soon in a
foam with the splashing Of the ami
mails and the efforts of the canoemen
to escape. One of the boats was
smashed by glancing blow of one Of
the whales One mans arm was bro

conscious.-Chicago Tribune.

as if the tiger had scaled the walls
and was in the open country.
Thousands of children romped in the
gardens during the day, and cried
"Ohw and "Ah" as the fireworks

they played and sauntered about
among the trees and in shaded alleys
and dark corners, and then everybody
