The monument fountains ''blew in on
Friday, furnishing a new indication of the
approach of spring, which is scheduled to
arrive before summer. The monument and
its surroundings are fine enough at all sea-
sons TO give first beholders an unforgettable
impression of its grandeur. but when the
fountains begin to play there is an added
attraction. No other artificial cascade in
the world shows much water in action
as this one, and ii gives a new effect to
the monument which is the pride of the
city and State. Besides, 1t shows that
spring is coming-some time

Advance sheets of Herbert Spencer's
Autobiography" betray an amazing self
conceit as a characteristic of the late
philosopher. Speaking OF George Eliot he
says: There were reports that l was in
love with her and that we were about to be
married, but neither of these reports was
true" Later the reason develops: phys

where the intellectual traits and the emo

an intelligent human being to be, his

A New York scientist processes to have
discovered that Bordeaux mixture, used by
farmers for spraying fruit trees in order

mixture is sulphate of copper and ought to

ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF TYPHOID
FEVER PREVENTIVE.

A recent announcement that government
experts at Washington had discovered a
method of exterminating typhoid fever
germs in water has created some interest
in medical and scientific circles, together
with considerable incredulity. The discov-
cry was said to have been made by DR..
Moore, in charge of the laboratory of plant
physiology of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Its main feature was said to be the
application of certain chemicals which were
an absolute specific against typhoid fever
germs, and so cheap that a million gallons
of water could be treated at a cost not to
exceed 80 or 60 cents.
AS typhoid is one of the few diseases con-
veyed by water such discovery as that
named would be of the greatest Importance,
but until the statement is fully confirmed
1T may we'll be doubted. Many alleged dis
infectants have been announced in past
years, but none has stood the test or proved
to be practical unless it be boiling the
water, which, of course, can only be prac-
ticed on small scale. Copper sulphate, or,
as it is commonly called, blue vitriol is the
best disinfectant for typhoid known, and it
costs but little. It's use in dis;nfecting sew
age has been advocated by health officers
for years. but it could not be used to purify
water impregnated with typhoid germs.
Any chemical or solution that would de-
stroy typhoid germs in water would itself
render the water undrinkabe.
1t will probably be found that the alleged
discovery is merely a new application of
something already known to the medical
profession. The public has right to be
somewhat incredulous regarding alleged
discoveries by government experts, at least
until they have been thoroughly tested
The airship invented by professor in the
Smithsonian Institution at a cost to the
government of more than $4,000 and which
was heralded as a solution of the problem
of aerial navigation, was about the worst
failure on record in that line. The expert
ments conducted by another government
expert to test the effects of certain kinds
of food on the human stomach have been
a source of amusement to the public
| though the expert who has been conducting
them will probably claim they have re-
suited in important discoveries.
There are many more bright men and
able chemists and physicians Throughout,
the country than there are in the govern
ment service. and valuable discoveries are
| more likely to be made by scientists who
are investigating and experimenting or
their own hook than by those who are
| playing at the business at government ex-
pense. 1t is possible that new preventive
of typhoid fever may have been discovered
but the public will do well to suspend judg.
ment until the claim is established.

Where the Battle Was Fought.

Along the shallow bitches
Ger which we slowly pass
In pensive mood, what riches
OF starry flower and grass
The mound, all verdure-crested,
Where little children play.
Is where the cannon rested
On that remembered day.
No angry scar uncovers
OF all its ancient scars;
1t seems a haunt for lovers.
And ignorant of wars.
Elsewhere, mayhap, old embers
Still burn and wake regrets:
Not here. For man remembers,
But wise old earth forgets,
