Modern sewage publication is first OF

one of publication. This, of course, IS
our bacteria friends to say nothing OF
bacterial enemies, is yet, comparative
ly speaking, in it's early stages; so
much so that to many persons the idea
that any bacteria can be called good
is still somewhat surprising. Thus far
sewage publication is a process OF
which the details are for the most part
deeply mysterious. Roughly speaking
two kinds of beneficial bacteria have
been found to be its important factors,
the anaerobes and the aerobes. OF the
anaerobes, who work only in the dark
ness OF sealed tanks, almost nothing is
yet known except their effect upon
aerobes, who do their work i'll or near
the open air. few distinct species have
been isolated and are now being stu
died by the psychologists.
Fortunately, however, the work done
collectively by these invisible work
men is much easier to investigate than
they are themselves. In the first tank
in the Institute laboratory, for example
you will probably find every kind of
aerobic bacteria at work, while in the
other tanks you note a series of opera
tons in which the labor of publication
is divided and the sewage treated by
several technically different methods.
The anaerobic bacteria, for example,
complete only one part of the process
of publication, which must then be fin.
ished by their air-loving brethren. The
routine work of the laboratory is to
provide for these literally countless
armies-millions and millions and null
lions and millions of them--of invisible
microbes the best coalitions for devel-
opment and healthful activity. In
other words the microbes are indeed
together Systematically and intelligent

General Bell received yesterday from
the United States arsenal in Rock

and 100000 rounds of ammunition for
the use of the Colorado National Guard.

been regularly issued under the provi-

and equipment of the organized militia
OF the States and Territories. Colo
RADIO is merely receiving the supplies
to which she is entitled under the law.
but they are undoubtedly issued at this
time because the Colorado militia has
been ordered out by the governor to
preserve order in districts affected by
the labor strikes.
General Bell called his stenographer
into the Office yesterday afternoon and
dictated this statement for publication:

trial here since October 26. charged with
presenting a false heir to an estate at

During the closing arguments she sat
unmoved. occasionally studying the
jurors faces through a lorgnette or

Race feeling has been a notable fea-

would be caused by race Partially.
The authorities, expecting rioting in
case of conviction. filed the court and
adjacent squares with police.

when the jury retired and remained out

RUSSIA IS UNPREPARED
FOR WAR WITH JAPAN
Report of Her Military Strength II
Manchuria Has Been Much
Exaggerated.

LONDON. Nov. 26.-The Pehn CORE
spondent of the Times" says that pa
pers from Europe have been received
containing Geographic reports of the re-
view by Viceroy Alexief at Port Ar
thur in October. when the viceroy as
serted that 1900 troops were present.
Naturally, says the correspondent
these numbers greatly impressed Eu-
rope II is undeniable that Russia has
greatly increased her garrison in Man
churia. but it is equally undeniable that
the Russian preparations have been hur-
>riedly made, that they are incomplete,
and that they are less advanced than
Russia desires the world to believe. ia
pan alone is not deceived.
The correspondent declares that the
review at Port Arthur was held inside
the race track, mile and a quarter
long. The true number of the troops en-
gagged was q. 600
Such official exaggeration is thought
to indicate Russia's uneasiness in face
of the completeness OF the preparations
Of Japan to take the field should occa-
sion arise. a completeness which many
observers believe will astonish the
world.
The total Russian force in the leased
territory now is 81, 600.

These clans are over three. feet in

THEODORE De WINNIE ON THE
INVENTION OF PRINTING

Movable types were known before

the Scientific American's' special num-
Der on Modern Aids to Printing" I
think he was the inventor of the ad-
Unstable mold. To make a mold. on
which you can clamp any matrjX of any
letter, was the key TO the invention.
There is no proof that Gutenberg made
the first movable type. Roster. a Hol-
lander, Of HARLEM. Is credited with
making wood type. There is no certain
ty that he did, there is certainty that he
never printed a book. The vitality Of
typography depends upon types cheaply

DRIVER RESCUES CAT
FROM ELEVATED ROAD
Skins Up Iron Pillar and Drops Animal
Into Blanket.

NEW YORK. Nov 26-The attention
of an early morning crowd on Columbus
Avenue today was attracted by a big
black tom cat perched on a girder of
the elevated road directly underneath
the ties. He had evidently been there
most Of the night. and he looked scared
to death.
What excited the crowd was the mar
row escape the cat had from death

track Time and again he would poke
his head up and duck just as a train
roared over him. Between attempts he

was q yell of delight from the crowd
and another when Emery dropped the
rescued animal into a blanket which
TWO men and two small boys held.
The cat landed on his feet, of course,
and with a spring jumped out of the

MANY KINDS OF LOAVES
SOLD IN NEW YORK CITY

A person who has had no occasion to

Gus shaped loaves of bread he will find
in the bakers windows and heaped on
stands in the streets. One man who had
occasion to Drowl aboul in what he
called the foreign quarters" last week
counted seventy different shaped lOaves.
Most Of them were FIVE cents a loaf,
and a good deal larger for the price
than loaves at tie same price sold by
bakers and grocers in the central part
Of the town The Decent leaves were
simply enormous enough for family
Of eight or ten persons.
The loaves wer,, not restricted to the
peculiarities Of any particular quarter.
At least half Of the varieties were on all
the stands. There were long. crisp
loaves without which the Irrenchman
thinks no meal complete; solid, heavy
looking dark bread, baked on hot
stones. that Italians are fond Of; stub
by-looking cottage loaves. a heavy base
and a pudge of hard crust stu ok on top,
like the topknot on a wonlans hair.
which the English workingnlan thinks
is better than any bread on earth:
square loaves and roly-poly loaves for
the Americans.
Graham loaves and whole-wheat
loaves. loaves with caraway seeds and
loaVes without them. loaves that were
all crust. baked quickly in hot ovens,
and loaves that wers almost as soft on
the outside as in the middle. The Greeks

PLANT IT'S OWN GARDENER.

A plant that is its own gardener is,

peanut dealer. In the peanut, though,
we have just such a plant-a plant, as
1t were. with a spade. The peanut
grows in the air and sun. but when the
flowers fail of and the pods appear it is
necessary for these pods to mature I'M
der ground, and therefore the plant
buries them.
1t buries them with a movement of
the stalk, a downward bend that pushes
the pod beneath the soil. This is a
strange thing to see. it makes a peanut
patch well worth a visit. Go to one OF
these patches at the season when the
flowers are falling, and If you are pa
