Shell Fish and Disease

The relation between infection Of
shell fish with disease producing mi
crobes, and the subsequent production
of illness through consumption of
these mollusks, admits of no question
according to a scientist, who writes
for the London Chronicle. Cases of
typhoid fever have been traced to The
eating of polluted oysters, and cookies
have also fallen under the ban of med.
ical officers of health, by reason Of
their liability. when infected, to con-
vey disease to consumers. DR.. Nash,
of Southend, has had cases of typhoid
produced by cookies which were gath
cred at Leigh. Their examination at
the Jenner Institute revealed the fact
that they contained not only the mi
crobe Of typhoid fever, but certain
other bacilli belonging to the color"
type-a group, it may be added, dis
tinctive of sewage matter Cookies
are eaten after being boiled, but it
would appear that boiling does not
necessarily kill the microbes, because
the heat cannot reach all parts of the
cookie Tor it may be all parts of the
mass being boiled in sufficient de.
gree. 1t is important that these facts
should be recognized, and acted upon
in the interests of the public health.

Oceans Stock of Fish.

When Spenser speaks of the sea S
abundant progeny" he was forecast.
ing unconsciously an opinion ex-
pressed by the late Professor Huxley
that practically there could be no
such thing as everlasting the ocean.
Possibly this opinion was of too
sweeping a character to meet with
present day approval. seeing that in
some localities TRAVELLING has caused a
decided limitation of certain fish spe-
cies. But the professors dictum
would appear, on the other hand, to re-
ceive confirmation from the excessive
shoals of fishes which occasionally
appear in defiance of all human prac-
tees for the thinning of the races.
Huge shoals of pilchards and mack
erel are often recorded. and at Var
mouth last week we had a denonstra-
ton of the amazing fertility of the
herring. A regular 'glut" was repre-
scented at that we'll known fishing me-
tropolis, the estimated value of the
fish landed running into many thou
sands of pounds, 1t is difficult to ac-
count for these occasional excuses
on the part of the finny population.
Some conditions or other favoring a
full development of the spawn, which
in other years shows only moder-
ate produce, must be at the root of
the matter. A change Of temperature.
for example. may favor or retard and
prevent the process of physical evo-

strengthen as more women get into such
gowns, for by these devices many defects
of figure will be hidden or softened
Women of fine proportions naturally will
not take up such fashions very eagerly,
and they need not as yet. To-day's first
picture was a sample of this new devel-
opment. This gown was black broad
cloth, stitched and strapped with black
velvet. A of the strapping set off the
front of the bodice, and side-pleats APP
peared in the skirts side breadths.
Some new ways of introducing fullness
into tops of wooden skirts are more in
genious than pretty. One model has full
ness at the top stitched down under little
pointed straps of the goods. The straps
are three inches long, ana where they
stop the fullness appears in tiny side
pleats. There is a lot of it, and it looks
very odd, still right here is a suggestion
that may be the saving of stout women.
If the straps are to be used, why not
make them long enough to come well
down over the hips? Then, securely
stitched in place, the goods will not seem
as bulky as where it is gathered and al
lowed to fall as it will. Other types of
new skirts are less slightly than this one,
and have, too. less value to imperfect
figures, but such awkward examples are
only to be expected in the approach of a
new fashion. Then there are pretty forms
a-pienty of the fashion. Three are
sketched herewith. In the left-hand ore,
the front breadth had but bit of full
ness. more being gathered at sides and
back. The second and third skirts had
plain fronts. and elsewhere were side
pieated. White zibeline, dark blue velvet
and wine colored broadcoth embroidered
in silk and jet were, respectively. the
materials of these dresses. Such designs
and many more as worthy, are a fine in
dorsement for the new style. Practically
