Tuberculosis and Phthisis.

Tuberculosis and Phthisis.
Medical men are awaiting with inter
est the official report from Professor
Schron Of Naples, Italy, regarding his
recent experiments with new mi.
crobe which is said to be the cause OF
the pulmonary disease known as phthi-
sis. Inasmuch as this microbe is be-
lieved to be entirely different from
that which causes tuberculosis Of the
joints, glands and skin, Professor
Schron asserts that his discovery ex-
plains why the Koch serum aggravat-
ed instead of curing phthisis. This
statement has been ridiculed by some
Of the best American authorities.

worthy of all this coil, it might help us
to understand the situation"
But the witness made no attempt to
do so, and while many Of us were
ready to pardon him this show of del
icacy others felt that under the circum-
stances it would have been better had
he been more open.
Among the latter was the coroner
himself, who from this moment threw
aside all hesitation and urged forward
his inquiries in a way to press the wit
ness closer and closer toward the net
he was secretly holding out for him.
First, he obliged him to say that his
conversation with Miss futile had not
tended to smooth matters, that no rec
onciliation with his wife had followed
it and that in the thirty-six hours
which elapsed before he returned home
again he had made no attempt to
soothe the feelings of one who, accord
ing to bis own story, he considered
hardly responsible for any eXtrava-
gances in which she might have in
dulged.
Then when this inconsistency had
been given time to sink into the minds
Of the jury Coroner q. increased the
effect produced by confronting Jeffrey
with witnesses who testified to the
friendly, if not loverlike, relations
which had existed between himself and
Miss Tuttle prior to the appearance Of
his wife upon the scene, closing with
question which brought out the de-
NAL, by no means new, that an ell
gagement had ever taken place be-
tween him and Miss Tuttle and hence
that bond had been Cancelled by his
marriage with Miss Moore.
Some hint of what the coroner con-
templated had already escaped him in
the persistent and seemingly inconse-
Quent questions to which he had sub
jected this witness. But the time had
now come for a more direct attack, /
and the interest rose correspondingly
high when the coroner, lifting again
the few piteous lines so often quoted,
asked of the now anxious and agitated |
witness if he had ever noticed any
similarity between the handwriting Of !
his wife and that of Miss futile.
An indignant "No!' was about to !
pass his lips when he suddenly checked .
himself and said more mildly: There |
may have been similarity. 1 hardly
know. l have seen too little Of Miss
Tuttle's hand to judge"
This Occasoned a diversion. Speci-
mems of Miss Tuttle's handwriting
were produced, which. after having been
duly proved. were passed down to the
jury along with the communication
professedly signed by Mrs. Jeffrey.
The grunts of astonishment which en-
sued as the knowing heads drew near
over these several papers caused Mr..
Jeffrey to flush and finally to cry out
with startling emphasis:
II know that those words were writ
ten by my wife"
But when the coroner asked him his
reasons for this conviction he could or
would not state them.
II have said" he stolidly repeated.
and that was all.
The coroner made no comment, but
when after some further inquiry which
added little to the general knowledge
he dismissed Mr.. jeffrey and recalled
Loretta there was that in his tone
which warned us that the really seri-
ous portion Of the days examination
was about to begin.

Queen Elizabeth's reign. A copy OF

The next does not seem to have APP

THE CURFEW BELL.
Originally Rung Morning and Even
ing to Give the Time Of Day.

Originally Rung Morning and Even
Ing to Give the Time Of Day.
The story of the curfew was but the
unsupported assertion of one historian
Of the sixteenth century, which was
repeated in prose and poetry till it was
woven into the language. Like many
other legends. there is just grain OF
truth in it, but its suggested origin Is
false. the derivation of curfew Is erro-
neous. and the scuttle shaped instru-
ments which supported the theory
were quite different articles of house
hold use.
Probably the word is derived not
from couvre feu, cover fire, but from
carrefour, in old French spelling car
fou. from the Latin for crossroads, and
is the name Of the morning and even
ing bell. which originally sounded from
the crossroads or market places both
in France and England simply to give
the time of day. 1t was and is rung at
4 or 6 o'clock in the morning and at 8
O'Clock in the evening. One inscription
on an old bell runs thus:
am called We Curfue bell.

To send We allie to bedde,

DEEP SEA LEVEL.

Its Changes illustrated In the Case
of the Mediterranean.
Changes in the level Of the sea are
well shown in the case of the Mediter-
ranean. NJ Phi. Negris in brochure
presented to the Academy of Science
furnishes interesting information Cd
this point, it being apparent that the
sea has greatly increased in depth as
compared to ancient times Formerly
bridge 1900 feet long united Leucate
to the continent. Today it is sub
merged, but the foundations of the
work were discovered eleven feet be-
meath the surface. 1t may therefore
be concluded that since the construc-
ton Of the bridge the sea has risen at
this point over nine feet.
In the bay Of Amphissa. Greece
there has been observed a mole that is
over nine feet beneath the surface AT
Rhenee there has been found a com
pletely submerged dock, evidently of
Roman construction, the depth of the
sea above the dock at places being
fully nine feet.
From all of these facts one may con
clude that there has taken place an i'm
portant increase in the depth of the
sea since the Roman period, the Medi
terranean having risen at least nine
feet in about 1000 years.

STATISTICS COMPILED BY IN
sPEcToR's OFFICE ON
ACREAGE AND CROP.
Scheme to Secure Reports From Coun-
ty Assessors Not as Successful
as Expected.

Statistics of grain acreage and an
estimate of the yield of the state of
Washington for 1904 have been pre-
pared by S. s. King, chief deputy in
the Office of the state grain inspector.
The compilations have been made from
three sources, first, the estimates sub
mitted by the county assessors; sec
ond, estimates submitted by private in
dividuals, and third, estimtes made
in the office of the inspector.
The tables submitted by Mr.. King
give the following results:
Total acreage, wheat, 1,416,116; total
yield of wheat, 23,4S9,33O bushels.
Total acreage, oats, 62,261; total
yield of oats, 2,37O,25O bushels.
Total acreage, barley. 1925; total
yield of barley, 3,6S3,140 bushels.
Mr.. King advances the suggestion
that the legislature enact law COM
polling county assessors to include in
their returns on assessment blanks
data covering the information embrace
ed in his report, the purpose being to
make it obligatory on farmers to re-
port on grain acreage and crop statis-
tics, not for the purpose of assessing
or taxing growing grain, but to enable
the state grain inspector to keep in
closer touch with the crop conditions
Of the state, and thereby assist him
in making a careful and accurate esti-
mate of the average yield per acre
in different counties.
I'VE received very full and complete
reports from the assessors Of Adams,
Franklin, Garfield, Douglas, Island,
Whatcom, Mason, San Juan and
Thurston counties, but as the last five
of these are small producers of grain,
the most raised being cut for hay, it
leaves only four counties of the grain
producing sections that made reports
of any great value to the grain inter-
ests" says Mr.. King.
Gin the counties of Columbia. Whit
man and Walla Walla we secured the
best information we could from private
sources, and think they are reasonably
accurate. -
.In the counties of Asotin, Lincoln,
Spokane, Yakima, Klickitat and Ska
git we have merely made the best
! guess We could.
I'VE are still of the opinion that
this information would be of great
value to the farmers and the state at
large. both as means of information
| to the farmers, and also as a means
| Of advertising the state to eastern peo-
| pie contemplating investing and set
| Ting here. but we do not deem it
| worth while to attempt to gather the
| informant ton in the way attempted last
year., but think it would be a wise
thing for the legislature of the state
| to provide that the assessors shall
| secure these facts on their assessment
| blanks, thus making it obligatory upon
| the farmers to give it at the time they
| list their property, and that the asses
sors then report the same to this Of
| flee for tabulation and publication
