Disease Bearing Dust.

Mr.. EpIToR: 1t is well known fact
that the dust which is blown through
our streets carries an innumerable num-
Der of germs which when inhaled and
come in contact with the mucous MEM
brane of the nasal cavity and air pas
sages, produces great variety of
diseases. The disease which attracts
our attention mostly is tuberculosis. I'm
doubtedly large per cent of cases of
this kind are contracted in this manner.
A person afflicted with pulmonary tuber-
coils is constantly expectorating and as
this falls upon the walks of our commu-
nifty and is allowed to dry it is SOON dis
seminated through the air and lodges
upon the mucous membrane of some
person predisposed to the disease, and
thus the fire is started which sooner or
later consumes the whole body. 1t has
been demonstrated that dust collects
from walls, aud bedsteads of apartments
occupied by tubercular patients con-
tanned enough of the tubercle bacilli to
infect animals, thus showing that the
bacilli will live for a comparatively long
time. Koch gathered lis dust samples
from as many wards and rooms of tuber-
cular patients and found that out of the
lis samples 40 of them were infective
and produced tuberculosis. This brings
up the question how are we going to pre-
vent all this? In some localities a fine
is imposed upon each person found spit
ting upon the walks, and also strenuous
measures are taken to prevent splitting
in steam and electric cars. Other places
have tried the method of flushing the
streets and walks with water to rid them
of dust and disease germs, but this is
hecessltate the expenditure of large
sums of money that no city or town
could reasonably afford. Petroleum has
been tried in some parts of the United
States to lay the dust but with only par
tial success.

The town of Norton, in Essex
county, wants to get little nearer to
Island Pond for business purposes,and
asks state aid to reasonable extent
in the building of highway between
the two places. This will open up
new lands for settlement and prove a
desirable thing for that section of
Essex county.-Montpelier Daily Jour
nal.
The highway above referred to would
be about seven miles in length, and it is
estimated will cost SO or 81 per rod to
build. The circumstances attending the
matter are such as specially appeal for
state aid. In the first place state aid is
thing that has been almost entirely
unknown in the county, one or two
small appropriations being all that we
call to mind, while from the nature of
the soil and contour of the country roads
in this section have been difficult to
build, and this part of the state has been
more excessively burdened than any other,
SO that the state ought, it seems to us,
treat the matter with most favorable
consideration. Besides the territory
through which this piece of road in
question will extend will not be so bene-
fitted as to induce the owners to construct
a road through it. The road and the
object of it will be to open up commune
ties into each other, to accommodate a
long travel, thus indirectly and directly
benefiting communities in Orleans and
Essex counties more or less distant from
each other. So that the purpose of the
law, the extensive benefits of this high
way and the reason on which appropria-
tions are founded make a stronger and
more just demand for an appropriation
than seldom occurs.

The Same Subject.

There is no doubt that laxness and
'''.N' -e"','.'.'o 'VVoo, ,",goy vovauso the
Republican majority was so great that
counting the vote was but formality at
most. An instance came to light this
week to demonstrate this. When the
JOINT canvassing committee made it's re-
port on the election of assistant Judges,
it declared Herbert l. Morrison elected
In Essex county. Morrison is Demo
crat and his opponent was Nathan Hob
son, one OF the strong Republicans of
the county. Mr.. Morrison could hardly
believe that he was elected, and went t.,
the office of the secretary of state to look
at the returns. Then it was discovered
that the totals of his vote and Hobson's
mad been transposed and that Hobson
was really elected. But as he was de-
clared elected by the canvassing COM
mlttee there was nothing to prevent him
from taking his seat. He has resigned
and Hobson will probably be appointed
by the governor.
This brings to light just the sort of
ming Clement was trying to show up
before the canvassing committee. Its
duty is to sort and count
he votes. IL had before it sheets made
Tut In the Office of the secretary of state,
my OF them as liable to be incorrect nc
his sheet for Essex county. A strong
Hort vas made to suppress this mis-
AXE and it has been kept out of the
tate papers.-Montpelier Correspond

A Xix Up All Round.

The festivities at the capital this week
the several receptions, the inaugural
hall, the banquets-haye not buried an
error which nearly lost an Essex county
man the high aud honorable position of
justice of the peace.
Ii seems that the vote canvassing com
mittee reported the victorious candidate
from Canaan as the second best man on
the ticket-that is the victor lost and
the defeated won.
The error was not detected till the
committee had made its report aud no
man was more greatly surprised than
Herbert $. Morrison, the representative
from Canaan, the justice who had failed
to land when the votes We're counted at
the recent election in his town. Mr..
Morrison was taken completely by sur
prise, so much so that he remained silent.
But it wasn't long before it was known
that Nathan Hobson, the man and the
republican the people of Canaan had
made their justice, had been counted out
of Office and then there was hustle.
The secretary of states office was COLI
suited.
An investigation was at once started,
and surely enough, Mr.. Morrison had re-
ceived the vote that should have been
credited to Mr.. Hobson, and Mr.. Hobson
had been given credit for the vote cast
for Mr.. Morrison.
But it was too late
The committee had made its report
and the joint assembly had declared Mr..
Morrison, the democrat, the justice of
the peace for the town of Canaan.
What was to be done.
1t would never do to have the affair
get out.
The Montpelier newspaper men were
squelched-sat on till they made loud
and long promises.
But how was the error to be rectifed ?
That was the question which confronted
the officials. Somebody suggested see
ing Morrison. He was seen. Then
somebody suggested that Morrison re-
Sign. He resigned. Then somebody
else said the governor must appoint Mr..
lIobson justice of the peace for Canaan
and the governor, with a smile in his
eyes, made Mr.. Hobson what the people
had elected him to be-
But you don't want to say anything
about this little affair at the state house.
There are clubs hidden away in corners
and they are ready for use on the man
who mentions the Hobson-M Morrison vote
juggling atfair.-Burlington Clipper.
The paper above named is little
mixed, as the position in question is
second assistant Judge of Essex county,
not justice of the peace for Canaan, and
Mr.. IIobson is resident of Island Pond,
in the town of Brighton.

CaE'ph0r as a Ciyilizer.

In recent book on Formosa United
States Consul James ". Davidson
gives some interesting facts about the
camphor trade, which he regards as
one of the civilizing influences of that
portion of the orient. OF the 5000 OOO
pounds of camphor produced annually
In the far east the island of Formosa
furnishes 100000 pounds, and it was
the camphor tree that took japan into
Formosa and that has led to the de-
velopment Of the island through the
Investment Of government funds.
The camphor forests of Formosa
have been from the first within the
limits Of the territory controlled by the
uncivilized natives. Against these Chi.
ma waged almost continuous war In an
attempt to drive them from the cam
phor district. but was only partially
successful. Thousands of lives were
lost every year in the battles over cam.
phor, when Japan introduced more
peaceful methods.
The work is still perilous, however
Tor the chiefs leasing the lands cannot
always control their followers. AS the
japanese government has a monopoly
OF the camphor trade, it is managed in
business way, and measures are to be
taken to reforest the lands from which
the trees have been cut. The Formoss
area of forests in which the camphor |
tree Is found is still 1900 square miles
In extent, but at the annual rate of
destruction 1t is estimated there would
be few camphor trees left in eighty
years.
AS the United States uses annually
i'1s9,OOO pounds Of camphor, or nearly
one-third of the Formosa product, our
interest In the preservation of the cam.
phor forests is apparent. The worlds
'amphor supply in the future depends
argely upon the civilization of For.
nosa so that an intelligent system of
orestry can be maintained there.
