DEATH TO GERMS.

The announcement that an expert OF
the Agricultural department has found
cheap and practical means OF ex-
terminating the germs that are sup
posed 10 be responsible for typhoid
fever and malaria fever and also mos
quitoes, Is OF the greatest Importance.
II true. That would reduce, consider
ably, the sum total Of sickness and
human misery.
The remedy Is said TO be the Bor-
deaux mixture. preparation Of cop
per sulphate lime and water, but those
who are not experts are cautioned
against applying II 70 drinking water,
as the blunders Of inexperienced per-
sons might have fatal results. In stag
rant pools, however anybody can APP
ply the mixture, for the purpose Of
destroying mosquitoes and fever germs.

led over the stagnant, infected water

the water is then pure. The algae fur

ton destroys this food, and that means
the destruction Of these pests and the
disappearance Of malaria, which is
spread by the insects. 1t is claimed
that typhoid germs In drinking water
are destroyed within an hour by this
solution, and that the quantity needed
one part to ten million parts Of water
is so infnitesimal, as to leave no bad
taste whatever In the water, after the
solution has been placed In it.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATION.


The London Telegraph, speaking ot
the marvellous finds by Prof. Flinders
Petrie in Egypt, argues in favor Of the
somewhat common proposition that 1t
necessarily must be almost unthinkably
long ages since the first dawn Of civili'
cation appeared. Prof. Petrle has re-.
Gently told the story about some Of
these discoveries. At Abydos, for in
stance, once the capital and chief seat
OF learning Of Egypt the explorers
found the remains of "ten successive
temples. one over the other" From the
age OF the first temple a group OF about
two hundred objects was found. A part
Of large glazed pottery vase OF Mena,
the first King Of the First Dynasty,
showed that even then they were max
ing glaze on a considerable scale, and
also inayng It with second color. An
ivory carving was astonishingly fine,
figure OF a king, showing subtlety
and power of expression as good as any
work Of later ages" Speaking Of these
finds the Telegraph says that an ivory
statuette Of Cheops, 1000 b. c., the
builder Of the great pyramid, was found,
the only known portrait Of him, and
then asks. Making every possible al
lowance for the marvellous rapdity Of
art development, must not many thou
sands Of years have rolled over between
the pristine dwellers in the Nile valley
and the men who carved ivory statu-
cites and manufactured glazed work
inlaid with second colors? 1t Ia q long,
long march from nInt implements to the
solemn temple ivory statuettes and hui
man portraits"
We have no quarrel with those who
believe that Usher Calmet, and others
we're mistaken In their chronicle
gical calculations, for which no one ever
claimed lnfOllbiity, But at the same
time, the argument embodied In the
question Just quoted, though commonly
current, is remarkably weak for the
important service expected Of II. II is
not necessary to allow thousands Of
years between "the pristine jewellers
In the Nile Valley and the men who
carved ivory statuettcs," II we suppose
that the latter came as immigrants
from some other country md brought
their arts and civilization with them.
our own country furnishes irretut-
able proof OF this fact IN the transfer
nation Of the country in four centuries
from the land Of the Indian and the
buffalo to that Of the present day
Thousands Of years hence, an exploring
party may find on the site OF Washing

SAFETY IN THEATRES.

There Is. always danger that the pen. dulum will swing too far when it is started. When great catastrophe oc- CUTS public sentiment becomes so work. ed up that remedies are proposed which are unjust and often impossible. The Iroquois disaster in Chicago has started a much needed crusade in favor of safer buildings, and the result has naturally been some propositions which are pre- posterous. For example, the New York authorities have prepared an ordinance o. which these are some of the principal requirements:
 One of the more drastic sections of the ordinance provides that the front ent- rance shall not be less than twenty-five feet Tn width. Another amendment pre- aides Tor an open court in the rear and a. each side of theater. which shall be from ten to fourteen feet wide the sad open court or courts to extend the full length and height of the building and across on each side and rear there of.' All aisles are to be three feet wide where they begin and must be increased Tn width toward the exits in a ratio of one and one-half inches to i've running feet.
 An audltlo1 al provision is that there shall be a clear space of at least sixteen feet back of the last row of seats. Tne.e are some of the requirements. and we notc that some of the thatre manaCers in New York declare that if this orsi- nance is passed and enforced it will prac- tcally prohibit the building of theatres in that city. while 1t will be impossible to change some of the present buildings U meet the conditions.
 While the results proved very conclu- sively that there was criminal negligence In connection with the Iroquois horror. and while 1t is beyond question that all cities should see that buildings for all public use should be as safe as human skill and care can make them. if is also true that the ends sought may be de- feated by requirements which cannot hf. complied with. This seems to be the case with tine proposed New York ord,- nance, while at the same time it shows that the authorities are alive to the de- mands of public sentiment. and are de- termined to take measures looking to the safety of the general public Perhaps some kind of compromise may be agreed on which will result in regulations which can be complied with. and which will at the same time make the buildings safe for the audiences.

Mr.hiIa Repistar

hCpll6 heklStef,
 good quantity of simulated rage is exhibited by those who contemplate the rames that have been published, of men who are proposed for election as dele gates to the State Democratic Conven- tion. A call issued yesterday declares:
 As all legitimate government is based on the consent of the governed. so every movement looking to the selection of representatives of Democracy should spring from the free expression of the eLtire Le oody Of the Democrats and not from the slate of self-selected few"
 The absurdity of this is demonstrated by the fact that any one citizen can nominate himself as candidate to repre- sent the Democacy of Mobile County in tho convention. without consulting the ''entire body of the Democrats. or any Democrat. The slate of the self-select- ed few. is composed of a number of prominent citizens. not seif-selected; and moreover they must be voted for by the
 entire Democracy" before they will be elected. The axiom that "all legitimate government is based on the consent of the governed, is not denied in this case.

Coed Books for Children.

Editor Advertiser:
 The recent articles in your paper on the subject of good books for children are worthy of the deepest thought and ed in the educational advancement and moral uplift of our people. 'The child ren of today are the men of tomorrow" and as We plant and SOW in their youth reap in the day of their manhood. <~
 A number of persons vitaly interested in this educational and moral upbuilding of the youth of our State are discussing the feasibility of establishing, along with ing course for children to be conducted along the line Of the Chautauqua Read ing Circles. That is from the whole field of available children's literature, a selection be made Of say twenty-five or thirty of the best books. those combining In highest degree literary merit and high moral tone with the charm and native interest that appeals to children, this se- lection left to the judgment and choice selected twenty-five or thirty books then to constitute regular reading course to extend over period of four or five years covering the various ages of the young readers. The completion of each years course will entitle the child tc a card or certificate to be issued for the purpose, and the completion of the whole four or five years course to diploma, such as is issued by the Chautauqua Institution.
 The movement need not be made a local one, but 10 cover the entire State. Prop erly conducted, 1t would stimulate inter est in good literature and proper read ing for young people, and in a few years aid much in elevating Alabama's rank in the scale of educational standing
 A similar plan is already in operation in Illinois and other Northern States and is meeting with much success.
