Maumee has no intention of chang
ing her name and whoever said so must
live pretty close to Perrysbnrg or
some other small place not friendly
to Maumee.-Br Dickson's Maumee
Advance-Era.
In the above item Brother Dickson
displays his hatred for Perrysburg by
intimating that some one in this
place had slandered his town. BY so
doing he reminds us of old "Punch"
a pet terrier dog owned by DR.. E. d.
Peck one of the pioneer physicians of
this town, way back nearly forty
years ago. AT that time the "old
drug store" was the loafing place of
many of the prominent men of this
section and in cold weather the long
box stove was well surrounded with
gentlemen who enjoyed the warmth
of the huge fire and the fellowship of
congenial friends. Old punch"
could generally be found sitting close
to the fire and as his snappish dispo-
sition became well known it frequent
ly occurred that some fellow would
reach from behind the one nearest
the dog and step on the animals toes,
with the result that "Punch" would
Immediately snap at the person near
est him. 1t is just SO with Dickson,
The moment anything is said against
Maumee, he sharpens his pencil and
begins to dig at Perrysburg. We
can't understand why Dickson hates
us so intensely. We don't want his
glass factory, nor his sewer, and we
are perfectly willing he should have
two Fourth of July celebrations every
year if he will cease to be so insanely
jealous.

Recent researches by Prof. Macfay-
den have shown that many micro-or-
ganisms can be exposed to the tenn
perature of liquid air for period Of
six months without any appreciable
loss of vitality, although, at such a
temperature, the ordinary chemical
processes of the living cell must cease.
Referring to Prof. Macfayden's expert
ments, Prof. James Dewar says that
the organisms in the state just de-
scribed Cannot be said to be either
alive or dead, in the ordinary accepta-
ton of these words. 1t is a new and
hitherto unobtained condition of living
matter-a third state.'

The agre nent recently made by the
attorney general Of the United States,
- and the officers of
the Commercial Ca
"""ie' BILE company as to
the terms on which the new Pacific,
cable is to be laid, clears the-way le-
gally for the completion of an under
taking of the widest interest. Until
the past year the "world chasm," as
the Pacific basin has been poetically
called, on account of its great breadth
and surprising depths, defed the ca
BILE layers; they found it more econom-
ical to take the longer way round the
earth. There is something sentiment
al in this proposed conquest Of the
Pacific seas. A little strand about an
inch in diameter will contain, not only.
the delicate copper wires through
which the electric current travels, but
the material for protecting them
against the environing forces of ma
ture. A casing of hemp, tar and rub
ber prevents leakage of the messages,
steel wire shields the coatings from ac-
cidents, and the whole is inclosed in
a bituminous compound to keep it dry.
Great ingenuity is required in lower
ing the cable to position. The refer
ence of the poet Gray to the Ozark
unfathom'd caves of ocean," says
the Youths Companion, is recalled
strikingly by the pathway of this ca
BILE, which will follow the bed of the
sea at distance below the surface
greater, in places, than the altitude of
some of the highest mountains. Even
then the route will skirt around ex-
treme depths, since it is not practical
to grapple for cable, for the purpose
of repairing it, at more than $500
fathoms. West of Guam soundings of
more than five miles have been re-
corded. How lonely this cable will be
among the works of man! Except
where it crosses the British cable a
little this side of Honolulu, and where
German cable may meet it at Guam,
its abode for thousands of miles will
be in the most intense of natures sol
itudes. Yet over this slender thread,
in the long stretches of future time,
messages to startle the world will
surely pass. The birth of nations, the
fall of empires, the overturning of
customs of the centuries may be re-
corded in the deep-sea whispering be-
tween this young republic and the old
est of empires.

The danger of smallpox is threaten
ing every person in every community.
The country is full of it and its spread
has become a serious matter and one
that is hard to check. The Toledo
papers give accounts of cases which
are being reported to the health de
partment of that city. Carelessness
on the part of the people in refusing
or failing to vaccinate, together with
much ignorance or gross carelessness
on the part of physicians in various
parts of the country, is the cause of
the spread of the disease. During the
past few months, in Toledo, there
have been several cases which were
first reported to be chickenpox, scar
letena and other mild diseases, which
later proved to be smallpox, and the
afflicted people were taken to the pest
house, not however, until after others
had been exposed through the failure
of proper diagnosis of the disease.
Compulsory vaccination and close
quarantine is the only method that
will stamp out the disease. Every
teacher and pupil in every school
should be vaccinated or refused the
the privilege of attending or teaching
in the schools. Every employer
should refuse to employ any person
who has not been vaccinated, and in
this manner much assistance will be
will be given the health officers in
their endeayor to stop the spread of
the disease. No person should object
to having his home quarantined in case
there is any danger of his family hav-
ing contracted the disease or been ex-
posed thereto. He owes it to himself
and the general public to use every
endeavor to save others from contami-
nation and should take no chances in
the matter. The JOURNAL is much
pleased to know that Mayor Brown
has signified his intention of carefully
watching the people of our town and
enforcing strict quarantine laws wher-
ever there is any indication of the dis
ease getting a start in Perrysburg.

Every one has wondered at some
time or other what sort of remarks
AnDoupc,ne ones people would make
a = : about him if he
own Death were dead. Mark
Twain, for instance, has insisted that
his obituaries be written at once and
submitted to him by the various news
papers for perusal and correction.
But it is a serious matter to pretend
to be dead when one is not. playing
'possum" is justifiable bit of strategy
in emergencies. The laws injunction
merely debars one from circulating the
report that he is deceased. In Rhode
Island just now citizen is waiting,
under $500 bail, for the grand jury to
deal with his case. He may be pun
ished by fine not exceeding S1O0.
Whether he craved foreknowledg OF
his neighbors' estimates, or merely
wished to see his name in the papers
has not yet been satisfactorily eX-
planned. The fact is that he inserted
in the classified columns a notice
something like this: "Jimpl1ins-In
this city, suddenly, on the 18th instant,
Jeremiah Jehosaphat Jimpkins, III
Easy street. Notice of funeral later"
His townsmen did begin the usual dis
cussion of the mans good and bad quail
it;as, and he was in fair way to learn
exactly in what esteem he was held,
when some one saw him splitting wood
in his back yard and had him arrested
In court his only excuse was liquor
Being drunk to an ordinary degree
apparently he considered the necrol'
ogy column the quickest way of max
ing himself dead drunk.
