Our old men are SONG to be our fu-

Prof Eli Metchnikon, Of the Pasteur In

the case OF some or the most Industrious

cease the work of reproduction at fixed

favorable period for work, ard, when

DUST AND THE HARM
IT DOES TO MORTAL MAN
Not Only in the Streets, But in Various
Occupations.

New YOrk's commissioner of street
cleaning, DR.. Woodbury., did wei when
he lately directed his attention TO as
pertaining the comparative prevalence OF
bacteria in the air of various streets
and at different heights above the pave
ment, for the connection between dis
ease. and germ-ridden dust is a close
one and one constantly in action in
large cities. But dust per Sc. quite
apart from any contamination with path
ogenic heterogeneous, is something
with which we must reckon In seeking
TO extend our knowledge of the causes
OF disease and to combat its prevalence.
This was quite graphically brought out
by Sir James Crichton- Browne, in an
address, entitled THE Dust Problem -
delivered before the section in sanitary
science and preventive medicine of the
sanitary institute congress held IN
Manchester. England. last September.
Speaking Of dust as dust and nothing
more"-mcanine dust that was injurious
by its physical properties. and not by
being in itself poisonous or as the We
hicle of pathogenic organisms-Sir James
remarked that the mortality of the
principal dust producing occupations
compared with that OF agriculturists.
who lived and worked in an atmosphere
virtually free from dust, was excessive
to a startling degree
lie did not maintain that this excess
was 20 be ascribed to dust alone. for
no doubt. he said, various factors con-
tributed 70 it, but the facts that ii was
due mainly to respiratory diseases. that
II was distributed among the several oc-
equations pretty much in proportion to
their business, and that It had dinin-
iShed in some instances in which dust
had been effectually dealt with justified
the conclusion that it was largely dust
begotten.
From carefully prepared statistics Of
the comparative mortality from specified
causes in certain particularly dusty oc-
equations he showed that there were
twenty-five industries. in each OF which
the mortality from respiratory diseases
was more than double that Of the agri-
culturists. and that these twenty-five
occupations included eight giving en-
Iloyment to more than 1000 mem in
which the total mortality from these
diseases was from three 10 four and a
half times as great as among the agri-
cultural class Among pOtters there were
LO0ls among cotton workers SO. and
among bakers 1872 deaths from respf-
ratOry diseases to every 22I among the
agriculturists. Surely this Is a showing
that should make us redouble our ef-
forts TO limit the production Of dust in
Industrial occupations.-New York Med
