Action of Fruit in Ices.

Observations made in several bac'
teriological laboratories have lately
been published, in which a claim IS
made that some fruit juices, more par
ticularly lemon juice, have power to
render inactive the bacillus OF typhoid
fever. The exact method of inVestlga'
ton is not detailed in the literature
at hand, but it is worth noting at the
outset that the general restraining ef'
feet of acids upon beneficial develop
ment has been long known, as has also
the fact that several of the so-called
vegetable acids, though commonly sup
posed to be of feeble chemical power,
are really very active. The observed
feebleness is due to the high dilution
in which they commonly occur. Ci;rlc
acid in concentrated form is strong
acid. General adoption of the view
that some fruit juices can render
harmless articles Of food or drink con-
taminated with the typhoid germ
should only follow much careful inves-
tigation, and even If the decision Is
favorable, it will possibly be found
that some of the common minera!
acids will answer the same purpose

WEST POINT AND ITS BEGINNING.
How This Strategic Place Was Oeeu
pied in the Revolution.

How This Strategic P!ace Was Oeeu'
pied in the Revolution.
The antiquity Of Fort Putnam, at the
West Point Military academy, has
been a question of dispute the last
few days, but it will probably soon be
rightc!, and it's proposed restoration
to it's original condition, or something
like it, will be carried cut. How the
military academy came into being, and
various other facts about it, are OF in
teresti to every loyal American. The
tract of land owned by the govern
ment at West Point contains 2lOo
acres, and was first settled in May,
1928 The greater part of this area
was purchased from Stephen Moore
on September 10, 1890, for s11,OSo
The smaller and southerly portion was
bought from oliver Gridley on May IL,
1924, for $4,000. On March 2, 1926,
the State of New York ceded jurisdlc-
ton oyer that part of the property on
which the principal edifces connected
with the institution stand, and only
reserved the right to execute any pro-
cess, civil or criminal, wherein the
real or personal property Of the United
States was affected"
The Importance CT West Point in
the Revolution was due to its COM
mand of the HUDSON river, then the
thoroughfare tor freight and passenger
traffic between the seaboard and
the interior. Early in IT'S the pro-
vincial congress, pursuant to the wish
es of the continental congress, re-
solved to fortify the highlands, and
sent commissioners, accompanied by
Colonel Bernard Romans, with "a men,
to execute it's plans. Romans was
willful choleric Hollander, an engineer
by profession and an employe OF the
British Crown. He constructed the
Notifications on Constitution island
(then MarteIaed's Rock), but In such
an unscientifc manner as to invite
the structures of the most capable ex.
perts of his own profession. For this
reason, and also because of a report
by a special commission of inspection,
made to congress en- November 70,
ITS, that the words could be assailed
from the higher ground across the
river without any danger to the enemy,
it was planned to occupy and fortify
West Point, but the proposition was
not followed, and The key to the pas
sage Of the Highlands temporarily fell
into the hands of the enemy" After
the British had abandoned the High
lands in August, 1777, Generals Put
nam and James Clinton were detailed
to supervise the reconstruction of the
fortresses, and on July %, 1779. the
Headquarters of the commander-in-
chief were transferred to West Point.
It was here tat General Washington
issued, among his many and pointed
orders" one against that unnecessary
and abominable custom of swearing"
West Point had cost s3,OO0,O00, in
addition to three years of labor by the
local force, and was accounted the
American Gibraltar. New York

Wild Animals in the City.

The greatest surprise ever expert
enced in the unexpected appearance
or a wild creature in the heart CT the
metropolis, was one day. in the spring
Of 1901. when ! saw 'possum cross
ing Broadway near Chambers street.
The creature had, no chance; |
think it was a truck that killed 1t;
and a great crowd gathered, stopping
traffic, excitedly discussing the trag'
edy. The majority declared the AMI
NAL to be rat; the minority main
tanned that it was a guinea-pig. Then
as the police interrupted discussion by
clearing the car-tracks, large negro
dropped from the back of truck,
seized the animal. and mounting the
cart tail once more. held his prize
eioft, grinning from ear to ear. 'Das-
ser 'possum," he said, and Docketed
the future piece de resistance. |
have never learned where that pos
sum came from; but there's 40 doubt
where he went. Ducks, geese, snipe,
and gulls, pass over in their migra-
tions, and it is not uncommon to
catch a glimpse of hawks hanging
high above the city smoke.
Once I saw a woodcock lying dead
on the sidewalk of Fifth avenue
curiously enough in front Of Delmoni-
co.'s. In his nocturnal migration he
had collided with the famous .restau-
rant and had broken its neck. There
may be a land of Cockayne, after all.

Delighted, the girl made haste to aI.s

And before he went that night the

THE SAILOR BOYS MASCOTS.
A Miscellaneous Collection That He
Takea From the Shore.

Jack Tar is notoriously improvident,
and most of our naval seamen, when
they get ashore, spend their money
be It more c. less with lavish hand.
Shore leave is limited to twenty-four
hours, but in that brief time the un-
restrained sailor manages to run
through about all the cash he carries
with him. He plunges into whirl OF
dissipation and Is oftentimes cheated
or robbed Of a good share OF his ready
assets, but O percentage Of the latter
is also apt to go for anything that hap
pens to strike his almost childish
fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's de-
light, and whatever he may come
across which seems to him to have
talismanic property he is bound to buy
it If he can. Hence, when the pier
Jumpers" as those on shore leave arc
technically called, return in well-filled
barges to the ship and under direction
of the master-at-arms climb up on deck
they are likely to bring with them
miscellaneous collection of goats,
dogs, parrots, monkeys, roosters, etc.
One sailor on the Kearsarge, either In
or out of his senses at the time, went
so far as to purchase as a mascot
colored baby from its mother for the
sum of forty cents and came aboard
with 1t in his arms. He was not al
lowed to retain it, however, and the
child was eventually restored to the
repentant and hysterical parent.
How many Of the mascots may be
kept on board lies within the discre-
tion of the captain. A liberal policy
Is pursued in this matter. But mani
festly there is a limit to the number
Of those that can be accommodated.
The surplus is sent ashore without de-
Law. When the returned "pier jump
ers" are lined up while the ships
writer calls the roll to discover the
laggards, it is one Of the most per-
picking duties Of the deck to decide
what dumb creatures may or may not
be added to the vessels menagerie.
If the vessel is on her way homeward
from the tropics she usually. carries a
large variety Of living presents for the
home friends of the sailors. But these
are only temporary tenants Of the hold
and would not be permitted to remain
on board long.-Leslie's Weekly.
