De Foe Gave Hint of 1t In the
Early Eighteenth Century.
De Foes journal ofthe Plague Year"
published III. lT22, contains two pas
sages which Crepe toward bacteriology.
De Foe himself pretends TO disbelieve
the theories. But his way is TO seem 10
doubt what lie is really eager to adj
vance.
Having shown that contagion was al
most certain in the case of people liv-
ing in the same house, but often avoid
able by segregation and precaution
against physical contact, De Foe says:
This put it out of question to me
that the calamity was spread by infec-
tion-that is to say. by some certain
steams or fumes, which the physicians
call etfiuvia, which ettluvia affected the
sound who came within certain dis
tances of the sick. Others talk of in
lection being carried on by the air only
by carrying with it vast numbers of
insects and invisible creatures, who en-
ter into the body with the breath or
even at the pores with the air and
there generator emit most acute poi
sons or poisonous ova or eggs, which
mingle themselves with the blood and
so infect the body"
In another place is this passage:

others that it Ghe disease) might be

lures be seen by microscope of

But this very much question the

Clever cnternilIurs.

Caterpillars accommodate themselves
wonderfully to circumstances and dis
play at critical periods of their dcvel-
opment very high powers of instinct
which may seem akin to reasoning.
Huber describes Il succession Of proc
esses by which one of them constructs
a most complicated hammock for lis
approaching change into clrysitiis
form. He found that caterpillar
taken from its hammock and put in
another nest at an carrier stage OF
construction did not seem puzzled, but
took up the work niethodically as he
found ii and carried it to completion
from that point.
Ii, however, Il caterpillar was put in
to hammock that had been carried 10
a later stage than its own had reached,
instead of feeling any benefit from
work thus done for it, it became en-
barrassed and would so over the AZ
ready advanced work from the stage
with which it was itself familiar be-
fore it could complete the task
From these facts we may gather
that each condition leads Oh in definite
order TO tho next and that results are
due to proper sequence apart from
any actual calculation.

have been pairing and slicing apples

been splicing and sweetening the cook

New Hospital
10 De 1oofed
In One Week Contractor
Will Have Il Un-
{ der Cover

Contractor Fred Phair has promised
the trustees of the new Episcopal
hospital. which is building on the
boulevard. at the head of Mallon ave-
nue., that he will have the structure
under cover within a week.
An excellent idea of the beauty of
this building is now to be had. Its
three stories Of white pressed brick
standing on heavy foundation of
granite form an attractive view from
Riverside avenue on the south side
Of the river. The building is des-
tined to be one of the show spots
Of the North Side for many years
to come.
The trustees Of the hospital are
much encouraged by the return Of
funds. The treasurer has collected
$21,4o0, and $4,000 additional will be
required to complete the structure.
In appointment the new hospital
wifi be surpassed by no other hospital
in the northwest. Physicians who
were in attendance at the recent med
ical convention in this city pro-
nounced 1t as the finest building of
the kind in the country, and as occu-
plying the prettiest site.
The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the building on December l.

Howard Kressly was brought over
to Riverside avenue today, accom-
panied by Sheriff Doust.
Mr.. Kressly visited friends in the
Ziesler building and attended to some
mining business.
Kressly's friends explained his
strange presence in the heart Of the
city by saying he was preparing to
go on the long journey" to Walla
Walla tomorrow-that he was trans
acting some important business and
bidding some of his intimate friends
goodbye without enduring the pain
of having them come to the Jail.
At the courthouse it was denied
that Kressly is going to Walla Walla
tomorrow, and 1t was said that he
would not go until next Thursday.
People familiar with the courts and
state laws would scarcely believe that
Kressly had been given this remark
able liberty. Some Of them denied
emphatically that he had been over
in town.
kressly came over about 10 o'clock.
He greeted several former acquaint-

a long overcoat. and looked to be in
better physical condition than for sew

MANIAC FOUGHT TO.
REACH R00SEvEl. T

WASHINGTON Oct 5.-A man
who later gave the name Of Peter
Elliott, his residence as Milwaukee
and his occupation that of a machin-
list. attempted to gain an entrance
to the White House this morning.
Being told he could not see the
president, he became violent and
fought desperately. He was armed
with revolver and knife and used
the latter on the doorkeeper, infiict-
ing a severe wound on the elbow.
The doorkeeper finally overpowered
him after inflicting a bad scalp
wound. Elliott was removed to the
emergency hospital and later to the
police station.
An hour earlier he had demanded
to see the president. When asked
his business, he claimed he had been
sent for. and then said the president
wantd to see him for fun. AS he
seemed harmless, he was not detained
at that time. Yesterday he attracted
attention by trying to reach the presi-
dent in church, but he was turned
away by an usher.
1t is learned that Elliott wrote a
long and incoherent letter to Roose-
welt last week. He inclosed his photo
graph and said he would call this
week to see the president privately.
Secretary Loeb opened the letter
and considered 1t sufficiently danger

The senator did not seem the least

county fair. Said the senator,

weather preventing his men getting

Storey Buck, who has represented
George Jabour in booking him to ap-
pear here, is In a Quandary as to the
outcome. He stated that meeting

statement that the downtown carni-
