Power of Great Industrial Combinations

One of the great evils in the operation
of industrial combinations, from the
point of view of the wagc-earncr, is their
power TO scatter a community to the

has been pointed ont that perhaps one
man or IA small group of men. by the
mere act OF signing an order TO close
up plant, could exercise power of
life or death over thousands of human
beings. Something akin to this hap

Mountain of Spanish Salt.

Probably one of the greatest natural
curosities in the world, whose existence
is but little known, is the great noun
tain of salt located at Cardona. Spain. in
the foothills of the Pyrenees. This mar
vel stands in a drcary and inaccessible
region. off the highway of travel and is
only reached by drive of twenty-five
miles in mule cart.
4 recent party of scientists visited this
giant salt mountain and reported some in
tercsting facts in regard to the same.
The mountain is several thousand feet
high and is estimated to contain 100000
600 tons of rock salt This enormous
quantity of salt is made more apparent
by the fact that the bordering country
of France consumes 100000 tons year.
so that this mountain alone could furnish
France with enough salt to last for roo
years.
The mountain is on private land, and
only worked to limited extent-St.

IMMUNITY TO BEE sTINGs.
Beekeeper Becomes Proof Through Inocu.
lation with the Poison.

That a person who has been often
stung by bees becomes in time immune
to the poison of the sting is asserted
| by Or. II. +. Parker. lie reports that
when he first began to keep bees he
was frequently stung, and that each
sting was attended with acute pain: but
that as time went OH the pain and SWELL

while transferring Il hive of bees, he
had an experience which he thus re-
la,es:

then it did not seem TO pain as much, and

and filled with wonderment as to what
my personal appearance would be.

DUST THAT IS HARMFUL.
Not Only in the Streets, but in Various
Occupations.

New York's commissioner Of street
cleaning, DIR. Woodbury., did well when
he lately directed his attention TO ascer-
tanning the comparative prevalence of
bacteria in the air of various streets and
at different heights above the pavement,
for rhe connection between disease and
germ-ridden dust is a close one and one
constantly in action in large cities. But
dust per Sc, quite apart from any con-
taminatiGn with pathogenic micrO-organ-
isms, is something with which we must
reckon in seeking to extend our EnOWl-
edge of the causes of disease and to COM
bat its prevalence. This was quite graph
icaly brought out by Sir James Crichton-
Browne, in an address entitled "The
Dust Problem" delivered before the see
ti0n in sanitary science ana preventive
medicine of the Sanitary Institute Con-
gress held IN Manchester, England, last
September
Speaking of dust as "dust and nothing
more inca ming dust that was injurious
by its physical properties, and not by be-
ing in itself poisonous or as the vehicle Of
pathogenc 0rgansms-Sir James re-
marked that the mortality Of the prnci-
pal dust-producing occupations, compared
with that of agriculturists, who lived and
worked IN an atmosphere virtually free
from dust was excessive to n startling
degree. lie did not maintain that this
excess was to be ascribed to dust alone,
for no doubt, he said, various factors
contributed 10 it, but the facts that ii
was due mainly to respiratory diseases.
that It was distributed among the several
occupations pretty much in proportion to
their dustiness, and that it had dimin-
sshed in some instances in which dust
had been effectually dealt with, justified
the conclusion that it was largely dust
begotten.
From carefully prepared statistics of
the comparative mortality from specified
causes III certain particularly dusty occu-
pations he showed that there were TWEEN
ty-two industries in each of which the
mortality from respiratory diseases was
more than double that of the agrcultur-
lists, and that these twenty-five occppa-
tons included eight giving employment
to more than 100000 mem in which tho
total mortality from these diseases was
from three to four and q half times MS
great as among the agricultural class.
Among potterS there were 1901, among
cotton workers $40 and among bakers
o92 deaths from respiratory diseases To
every 221 among the agriculturists
Surely this is showing that shonld
make us redouble cur efforts to limit tha
production Of dust in industrial occupa-
tions.-New York Medical Journal.
