unmarked graves of about $50 un-
known Confederate soldiers killed in
the civil war, or who died from some
one of the scourges OF that war. 1t

ed because the present secretary of

For River Gauaina.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 2S.-ln
spectors of the United States weather
bureau state that congress will be ask
ed to pass bill establishing a sepa-
gate bureau for river forecasting. 1t is
Intended to develop the work and in a
measure separate it from the weather
observation. The invention of Observer
Fulton, at Knox, for recording various
stages of the river, has proved a per-
feet success in its experimental trials
here, and it is stated it will be adopted
for all of the river work. Mr.. Fulton
has presented it to the government.
The government is perfecting a device
for the purpose of measuring witheab
solute accuracy and registering the
discharge of water at any point on
rivers and recording it. The govern
ment finally intends to place the ap-
paratuses at various substations along
the rivers, so that the rise, fall and dis
charge will be registered at the main
offices and the accurate predictions
sent out.

DISCUSS MOSQUITO
AS GERM BEARER
Garbage and Yellow Fever Before Pub
lie Health Association.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2S.-The
American Public Health association to-
day further considered the subject OF
infection of human beings with animal
tuberculosis and listened to papers re-
lating. to the collection and disposal OF
garbage. In discussing the former sub
ject, Dr. MaZyck p. Ravenel, of Phila-
delphia, took up the question of tuber-
culosis on its transmission from man
to animals and from animals to man as
we'll as accidental incubation. He en-
phatically controverted the common
theory that dry sputum is the underly-
ing cause of tubucular infection, ana
said that there is not one whit OF eVl-
dence that it ever caused single case
o. tuberculosis in mankind. He said
that the bovine tubercular bacillus IS
more virulent than that of the human
brain.
The committee on garbage reported
through Rudolph Herring, c. E., of New
York. Various methods of collecting
garbage and ashes in the several cities
were discussed. Street sweeping, the
report stated, contained lurking dis
ease germs, the principal one being
that Of tuberculosis. Sprinkling, fire.
Quent sweeping and removal in COW
cred carts, are suggested as the most
practicable remedy. In the collection
of ashes, covered receptacles and carts
and careful dumping are urged. Other
papers read were:
THE Sanitary Disposal of Municipal
and Institutional Waste" by W. F.
Morse, New York; Some Statistics of
Garbage Disposal for the Larger Amer
lean Cities in 1908" by Messrs. c. E. E.
Wilson and P. Hanson, Of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology;
MARITIME Quarantine" by DR.. ]. c.
Henry, United States public health and
marine hospital service, and report of
the committee on teaching hygiene, by
DR.. Benjamin Lee, Philadelphia.
'Purification of the Water Supply"
formed the subject of a paper by
Marshall Layton, of the geological sur
Vey. There is sufficient evidence, he
said, that water publication in America
no longer is in the experimental stage,
and that material reductions of the
danger of typhoid will follow the
adoption of filtration plants. Highly
technical papers on the subject of yell
low fever occupied the rest of the aft
ernoon.
The report of the committee on
the etiology of yellow fever was pre-
scented by Dr. John w. Ross, U. S. N.
1t showed that the paramount problem
in dealing with the yellow fever is the
conveyance by the mosquito. The re-
port recommends a closer study OF the
Information of the insect, especially in
fected females, to determine what pro-
portion of them survive and retain
their power of transmitting yellow
fever; whether the mosquito is capable
of acclimatization in environments I'M
favorable to the immigrant mosquito,
and also the distance across the water
that this insect is aerially conveyed.
