MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
United States and Japan May Be
 Called to Adjust Matters.

CaIleu to AuJuSl MdtlClS'
 Honolulu, July 3, via San Francisco, July 12.-It is not unlikely that inter- national complications may ensue be- tween the United States and Japan as the result of local people taking pos session of Marcus Island, a small guano island lying about 2,S0O miles west of Honolulu and about 1000 miles southeast of Yokohama. An ex- pedition is to leave here next week under command of Captain A. A. Rose hill for the purpose of occupying the island, as Rosehill was recently grant ed title to the island by the United States.
 If the experience of Captain Pierce of the transport Sheridan is to be talk en as any indication, the services of an American warship may be necessary to place Rosehill in possession of the island.
 About 14 months ago Captain Pierce stopped at Marcus Island for the pur- pose of adjusting his instruments. He headed a party and went ashore in a steam launch. He was met on the beach by about 20 Japanese, many of whom were armed with rifles, and who ordered the Americans to leave the is land at once Seeing that the display of firearms did not frighten the visi- tors, the spokesman of the Japanese produced what purported to be an of. ficiaI document from the Japanese government and fourished this paper before Captain Pierce.
 An exploration of the island dis closed the fact that the Japanese evi- dently were at work obtaining guano Captain Pierce made no attempt tc molest the Japanese. He was no1 then aware of Rosehill's claim.
 Captain Rosehill expects to sail fol his island on July Il.

WOODBURY's SCHEME.
He Will Photograph the Air to Dis
 cover Microbes.

New York, July 12.-New terrors will be added to life, i'll the interest of health, if the experiment on which John McGraw Woodbury, commission CT of street cleaning, is engaged shall prove successful. The commissioner, with view to locating microbes and, thereby, removing the cause, so far as possible, has conceived the idea of photo- graphing the atmosphere which circu- lates in the streets of New York, en- larged seven thousand times. By means of the photographs it is hoped the department will be able to analyze and to ultimately regulate the condition of the atmosphere just as thoroughly and benefcially as it is done at pres ent with the water supply.
 The exact conditions prevailing in different parts of the city will be known to a nicety, and where un- healthy symptoms are revealed i'll any neighborhood it may be possible to counteract their Influence before they make themselves undu1y apparent in the ill-health of the residents.
 Gelatine plates one foot square have been set up in different parts of the city and left exposed as traps for the atmosphere and all that it contains These plates are not connected with q camera, but are intended only to ac- cumulate and hold all the germs and particles of matter that may come to their surfaces. When trap has been left long enough to have a reasonably large supply of prey it is removed to q laboratory, where it will be subjected to microscopic examipation. Any germs that may be discovered will be cultured and then photographed. At present the work is being carried on only on small scale but it is hoped by the commissioner that if the first results prove successful permanent laboratory may be established.
