The best dressed men In New York
are the Wall streeters. There is one
young member of the Stock Exchange
who is famous for his clothes. He has
a wardrobe in his private office and
changes his suit three times day
at 10, at noon and at o'clock. A
busy session on the floor will wreck
any suit. Most of the brokers wear an
old office coat in the shuttle and tur-

to the manner in which the paper
gloves are made, little is known; but
the stockings have been carefully ex-
amined by experts, and they are loud
in their praise of them. 1t is said
they will last almost as long as or

THE CAUSE OF SMALLPOX.
Boston Physician Claims to Have
Made Important Discovery.


DIR. William r. Councilman. profcs'
sor OF pathology In the Harvard Mcdi.
cal School. made n formal statement
last week to the Boston Society OF
Medical Science announcing the dis
eovery oi the cause of smallpox
The cause has been determined to
he tho protozoa, the lowest form OF
animal life.
The honor OF making this discovery
n divided. Dr. Councilman. who made
tho formal announcement. gave out
the following statement:
This announcement Is the outcome
of an investigation conducted by Drs.
Councilman. George Burgess Mngrath.
and iyaitcr Rcmscn Brinckcrhoff. with
the toopcration OF the Boston board
OF health. during the recent epidemic
OF the disease In this city. II has been
determined that smallpox Is caused by
n microorganism representative OF the
lowest form OF animal life. This fact
serves to relate the disease with ma
iaria. and to distinguish II from many
other Infectious diseases. caused by
minute forms OF vegetable life known
as bacteria"
DIR. Councilman did not give many
details. but said the work had been
going on since 1901. DIR. Brinckcrhof
OF the city hospital stan lived among
smallpox patients In Boston harbor
for several weeks In n habitation hard.
II worthy OF being called n shelter in
order to gather the material with
which DIR. Councilman pursued his in
yestigations.
He told how rabbits and monkey
were experimental upon. Upon iroc
ulation or exposure to smallpox rab-
bits have disease similar to smallpox.
but II is not smallpox. The monkey.
however. representing higher form
OF life, was affected much the same as
IL human being and had smallpox
practically in the same stages that
man suffers.
DR.. Councilman told how research
In the field of bacteriology was first
exhausted without finding the cause
OF the disease. Then. falling back on
anatomy. the research was continued.
and It was finally decided. after re.
pcated experiments. that an organism,
the protozoa. was the cause OF the dis.
ease. A protozoa belongs to the ami
nal kingdom. and SO the field for
further investigation is pathological
rather than meteorological.
