THE NEW TYPHOID GERMICIDE.

The Tribune is able to publish on another
page to-day an authorized statement regarding
the new germicide with which the Department
Of Agriculture has been experimenting. MI
Woods, Chief Pathologist for Secretary Wilson,
talks in a way that will inspire greater conf
dence in the scheme than did the premature re-
ports which appeared a week or two ago. He
corrects some of the erroneous impressions
which these produced. 1t is pointed out, for
instance, that the addition Of a chemical COM
pound to a water supply is intended TO supple
ment, not to replace. filtration. Thus indirectly
is met the criticism that precipitating decaying
vegetable matter would not be true publication
Mr.. Woods also makes il clear that the system
in question is to be intrusted only to experts,
and would be a source OF mischief If left 70
novices.
The sponsors for the proposed method OF
fighting typhoid fever recognize. moreover. that
it must undergo careful examination by SAM
tary engineers and bacteriolOgists before its
future usefulness can be determined. No doubt
the feasibility and safety of using the ''prepara-
ton Of copper on a large scale will be cOnsid-
cred by those competent to judge of its merits
If the verdict be favorable, municipal officials
will be encouraged TO give 1t a trial On the
other hand, unless fits harmlessness TO human
health be well established, they will certainly
let IL severely alone Two months are likely to
elapse before the full facts are made known
In the mean time It would be only just to sus
pend Judgment concerning the scheme. Though
some OF the medical papers, with only the early
reports for their guidance have condemned 1t,
they will probably revise their opinions prompt
ly II they see occa sion to do so.

TIE YALU.

Despite rumOrs OF japanese landings at vari-
Gus other points, the Yalu River remains. after
Port Arthur, the chief centre OF interest in the
Far East That river first came into conspicu-
Gus notice during the war between China and
Japan, when the sea at its mouth was the scene
Of great naval battle. The name Yalu is a
native Chinese term meaning "Forked WAYS"
and is applied by the Chinese to only the lower
part Of the river about forty miles in length,
below Wi-Ju. where it Is broad and divided by
numerous islands into several channels. The
chief part Of the stream from Wi-Ju up 10 its
source IN the Long White Mountain" they call
Ta-Kiang, or Great River, il being the largest
stream between the Hoang and the AMOR The
Coreans call the whole stream the Amnok-Gang
In the estuary the tide rises about thirty feet
so that the width OF the river varies by a couple
OF miles, according to the state Of the tide. At
low water there are vast expanses Of sand at
each side over which at high water ships may
sail.
Corean cities are almost invariably built upon
hills, and Wi-Ju is no exception to that rule. It
occupies a beautiful site overlooking the river
and country for many miles. Its population is
not more than ten thousand now, for IN the last
twenty years. since the opening of treaty
ports, Il has suffered q great decline in all re-
spects. Still, It is the only place Of Importance
on the COrean side OF the Yalu. II Is the north
ern terminus Of the one great highroad in Corea,
which runs from Seoul 10 the Yalu, and which
for centuries was travelled yearly by embassies
bearing tribute and homage from Corea TO
China. The passage across the river IS usually
