A BEAR AND A COW.

Ernest Harold Baynes, the Won

lates the amusing doings of a black
bear cub. He says,
Jimmy had an interview with a
COW the other day, and the result was
amusing. The COW had a calf with
her, so she was much holder than
usual. Jimmy didn't want her calf,
but the COW didn't know that, and
started after him with a strong sug-
gestion of business in her eve. But
Jimmy was not asleep, and before
the rms came near enough to look

COPPER sULPHATE OR TYPHOID

DR.. George T. Moore, in charge of
the laboratory of plant physiology in
the United States department of agri-
culture, authorizes the Philadelphia
Public Ledger to say that "the death
rate in Philadelphia or any other com.
munity from typhoid fever, so far as
the disease is caused by infected
drinking water, may be wiped out by
the scientific use of copper as a germi-
eide" The department has, 1t is I'M
derstood thoroughly tested the use Of
copper sulphate as a germicide, ana
DR.. Moore speaks from knowledge Of
these tests.
The discovery of the germicide pow
er of the sulphate is said to have been
made incidentally during tests made
Of 1t for the purpose of purifying wat
er discolored and rendered foul-smell-
ing, but not especially dangerous. by
the growth of fresh-water weeds.
There is a popular impression that
copper is poisonous. AS matter OF
fact it is resent in considerable guam
titles in many foods, and may be safe
ly enjoyed in such quantities as have
been used in the tests.
In emergencies the use of chemicaH
purifies of water may be of value, but
however successful the tests of copper
sulphate may be, its use can never
supplant the wiser prudential meas,
ures. 1t is better to keep a water sup
ply pure than to attempt its purifica-
tion by chemical means after infection
has reached the typhoid danger line.
