MUST HAVE GOOD ROADS.
Their Establishment Is Essential to
the Maintenance of Rural Free
Delivery Routes.

Good roads are one of the features
necessary to the Establishment of rural
free delivery routes. 1t is evident that
the post office department meant busi-
ness when it declared at the start that
no free delivery routes would be
maintained over poor roads. Not only
must the roads be good in the begin
ming, but they must be kept in proper
order, or the route Will be abolished
An eastern postmaster recently re-
ceived the following letter, which
shows plainly the attitude of the post
office department.:
reports recently received show that
the roads travelled by rural carrier
from your Office are in bad condition
and likely to be impossible in bad
weather. You win please notify the
patrons of routes one and two that the
| present lack of attention to these
roads will, if continued, be likely o en-
danger the permanency of the rural
free delivery service there.
"A rural carrier cannot possibly
make regular time or perform efficient
service over poor roads, particularly
during the winter and spring months
The summer is the time for mending
these highways, which are really serv-
ing as post roads, and which should
always be in passable condition for
the transport of mail. 1t is the hope
of the department that the patrons
who are receiving the benefit of the
service appreciate it, and that an eff
fort to repair all deficient portions be-
fore winter sets in, so that the perma-
/ nency of rural free delivery service
may be insured. ."-Orange Judd

WATER KILLS GERMS.
Interesting Statement Made by Wis
consin Scientist To the Convention
Iii GhInamn.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-According to bac-
teriologists of the American Society
of Naturalsts, some kinds of germs
have such an antipathy for water
that they actually commit suicide to
escape the fluid. At Thursdays meet
ing of the society, it was proclaimed
as an established fact that water is
IN itself an agent deadly to many
kinds of germs and that milk also
has destructive attributes within it.
self.
The information was brought out
by Prof. II. l.. Russell, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. who read a
paper on "the toxicity of water to-
ward certain pathogenic bacteria" :"
Prof. Russell described the results of
experiments which proved, to his sat
lSfaction, that toward some forms of
germ life water acts as a poison.
He said also that the consequence
of the suicide of the bacteria in water
IS the puritication of the water. The
waste substances thrown off by the
life processes of the germs form,
when in solution, poisons which de-
stroy the germs that produced them.
President Sedgwick disagreed with
Prof. Russell, but the latter was
upheld by DR.. Jordan, of the Uni
versity of Chicago.
An interesting point in regard to
heredity was brought up before
+. b. Meek and i. w. Lutz, in paper
on the Inheritance of color in point
ers'' proved that the markings of
dogs could be traced to their ances-
tors with mathematical exactness-
one-half Inherited from the parents,
oae-four q from the grandparents,
one-eighth from the great grand
parents, etc.

CoiIIerics are Flooded,

Girardville. Pa, Jan. 3.-Packer
colliery No. ;, which was flooded with
water during the severe rain storm
three weeks ago, resumed operations
yesterday, giving employment to 500
men and boys. Preston colliery of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Co., remains idle and the
officials of the company fear that it
will take several months to clear it of
water. At Lawrence, the colliery of
the Shatfer estate is also idle. The
inside workings are completely
ruined, and it is feared that the col
liery may nave to be abandoned
These two collierics employed up
wards of 1000 persons.

HORRORS OF THE CONGO.
CannibaIs Are Employed 10 KIIl the
Natives.

London, Jan. 3.-Capt. Guy Bur-
rows, who has just retired from the
employment of the Congo Free State
government after six years service,
declared in an interview yesterday
that the conditions prevailing in the
Congo Free State are a disgrace to
civilization, and far worse than ever
before. He pictured atrocities of the
most horrible character perpetrated
on the natives by officials and whites
who had concessions of rubber land.
AS q typical instance of the means
employed by the Free State govern
ment, Capt. Burrows corroborated
the statement of an American mis-
sionary to the effect that the officials
employed 500 cannibalS, to whom they
