Though wheat was well sustained by for

part of the gain was wiped out at the close
Warmer weather and the weakness of corr
here and elsewhere caused Seneral selling
in the last hour. Statistical news was
rather favorable TO the buying side. Argen-

The export demand was light and clear

DEATH FROM TYPHOID.

A brief allusion was made in The Ad- vertiser few days ago to the death rate from typhoid fever in various cities of this country and Europe. A table which we have seen shows the deaths from this cause for each 10000 people, running from 1.94 in San Francisco to 57s in Washing ton. and from 0.21 in Frankfort to 994 in Belfast. Whhy there should be such a wide difference is a question which is ex- citing much interest. and investigations are going on to find the cause and the remedy.
 The weight of testimony, or of opinion. at least. seems to be that impure milk and water are largely responsible for the large death rate in some cities That there are other causes is doubtless true. but those who have devoted most time to investigating the subject and who are best qualified to form an intelligent opin- ion are very decided in the belief that the germs of typhoid are carried in water and thus widely distributed. and that they also get into the milk which is sold indiscriminately and often without any attention to cleanliness.
 It may be argued that the medical and

civic authorities of all cities ought to see
 that nothing but pure water and milk is sold, and the argument is a good one. but the fact remains that 1t is not done. and the difficulties in the way are almost in- surmountable. It is easy for the chemist to ascertain whether the water supply or city is or is not pure, if that supply all comes from one source, but it is not aiways easy to apply the remedy, and this difficulty is intensified where more or less Of the water used is taken from wells. In the same way 1t is not difficult to learn whether a given sample of milk IS pure. but when a large city is getting US milk supply from hundreds or thou sands of dairies the difficulty of keeping watch over all of them can ready be un- derstood. It is one of the problems which come before all city governments. and one Of the hardest to deal with. Typhoid Is dangerous disease, and any method which will prevent 1t Is a service to hu- manity.

The Leading Hebrew of New York

While being. perhaps. the leading He brew of New York. Jacob Henry Schiff is exceedingly cosmopolitan in his ideas. and his benefactions are wide reac ching. Not many of Wall Streets captains of industry are as conscientious as he is in the matter of religion. It is we'll known that he follows strictly the old Mosaic law which stipuates that a man shall give up one-tenth of his income each year to charity and good works. Mir Schiff follows this out to the letter. Those who know him best declare that he feels he would be virtually stealing that amount of money if he did not turn 1t over to his poorer brethren.
 He has given away millions of dollars. a large part of which the public hears nothing about. There are several monu- ments to his generosity, with which his name will always be closely Identified. Among them are the Montefiore Home, which 1t may be said that he founded: the Jewish Theological Seminary, which seems likely to become the greatest in- stitution of this kind in the world, the Semitic Museum at Harvard University, and the Nurses Settlement on the New York East Side. He is trustee of the Baron dc Hirsch Fund, and he has been treasurer of Barnard College-From Captains of Industry" in the April Cos mOpOlitan

Tesla Says Roentgen Rays Are
 Streams of Very Small Missiles.

AcCordlng 10 statements recently pub lished, the Roentgen rays are now de- clared by Nikola Tesla to be material par ticles, MT. Tesla states that the electri- cal conditions within the tube from which the rays issue produce absolute particles He further says he can feel the effects of these particles striking against his eye, and has noted the sensation pro- duced when they come in contact with his brain. He says:
 There Is little doubt ow that ca tho lie stream within a bulb is composed of small particles of matter thrown off at great velocity from the electrode. The velocity probably obtained can be esti- mated and fully accounts for the me- chanical and heating effects produced by the impact against the wall or obstacle opposed to the bulb. It Is furthermore an accepted view that the projected Jumps of matter act as inelastic bodies, like in- numerable infnitesmal bullets. It can be shown that the velocity of the stream may be as much as 100 kilometers a sec ond. or even more. But matter. moving with such great velocity must surely penetrate great thicknesses of the oh- struction in its path, If the laws of me chanical impact are at all applicable to a catholic stream.
 "I have so much familiarized myself with tnlS view that, IT had no eXperi- mental evidence, I would not doubt that some matter is projected through the thin wall of vacuum tube. The exit from the latter is, however, the more likely to occur, as the Jumps of matter must be shattered into still much smaller partl- cles by the impact. From my experiments it appears that the Jumps Or molecules are indeed shattered into fragments or constituents so small as to make them lose entirely some physical properties possessed before the impact.
 'The matter composing the cathode stream is." continues MT Tesla in his letter, reduced to matter of some pri- mary form heretofore not known. as such velocities and such violent impacts have probably never been studied or even at tained before these extraordinary mani festatlons were observed. Tn important fact pointed out early by Roentgen and jconfiTmed by subsequent researches namely, that body Is the more opaque to the rays the denser it is, cannot be ex- pained as satisfactorily by any other assumption than that of the rays being streams of matter. in which case such simple relation" :"
